galdoors announces its 5th release, from label boss junes. after a run of successful eps featuring artists such as elgato, leif and audio werner, young uk producer junes steps up with three diverse cuts that push forward the labels emerging sound. despite its relative youth, the label has developed a distinctive aesthetic through minimalist, hypnotic house tracks that are making waves on both sides of the water, heavy support has come from big-boy jocks like ben ufo, daniel bell and mike huckaby. earlier this year, co-owner tamess gal004 release featured on joy orbison’s radio 1 essential mix and ben ufos dekmantel festival promo video, establishing the labels forte for delivering the best productions of its co-owners. gal005 is no exception, with junes developing his sound through an assured three-tracker. root pattern leads the way: a killer groove that cuts perfectly through an undulating melodic soundscape. on the flip, transfer bubbles over - playful yet threatening - and iced finishes off with a broken slab of soundsystem tension.

365 million years ago a meteorite crashed with tremendous force in the middle of a land mass that much later would be called sweden, creating one of her largest lakes. the area around this lake, siljan, has always been an epicenter of swedish folklore, with many tales of beautiful but dangerous creatures of the ancient forests and deep vales. perhaps, then, it s no coincidence that the skies over siljan later became the focus of unexplainable sightings, or that small societies appeared, claiming strong indications of extraterrestrial activities on the bottom of the lake itself. the tales may change over time, but the mysterious lake remains the same. and now the time has come for a new tale from siljan. producer colleagues hans berg and johanna knutsson have spent long periods of time in a studio by this lake. feeling a bit like aliens themselves with their blinking and bleeping music machines, the label name ufo station recordings came naturally. little raver ep is the first release, and throughout the three tracks you can clearly sense the contrast between the scenic landscape and sounds inspired by space and alien technology: shimmering ethereal melodies over classic, very fulfilling drum machines. the melancholic singing of space whales over deep and bubbly analog basses. the little raver ep is a house music ufo destined to arouse wonder and astonishment on any dance floor.

jana kirschner - a child of the bear and blueberry soaked forests of the geographical centre of europe, the land locked land now known as slovakia, mushrooms, berries, and nuts were her toys, the folk songs of slovaks, roma, and the magyar, her education….. winning spandex clad dance comps at 8 years old down the local dom kulture - culture house - disturbingly garish singing competitions by 12, and early forays into songwriting via misguided western wannabe production…. the surest route to 90s era slovakian stardom. jana has changed course so abruptly so frequently in her now eight album career no one dare guess her next move, yet with muzika she has landed, and announced, here is music, a celebration, no rules, pompous, bombastic, day-glo nonsense, it could only come from central europe.

*eat my pussy* is the delightfully nasty debut solo release from latvian artist anet k., coming out on pomelo november 24th. the title track, featuring anets vocals and production, functions as both a demand and endearing request, fusing her encyclopaedic knowledge of electro with a cunning lyrical twist. with such a explicit title, it should come as no surprise that the inspiration for *eat my pussy* comes from firsthand experience. anet k. is no stranger to the scene – as a long-term resident of berlin she has contributed vocals to several recent releases, including barkers *like an animal* on leisure system. for the remixes, dj stingray presents the vocals as an even more aggressive command, while the legendary egyptian lover raps some addictive verses and completely revamps the arrangement, presenting his personal ode to cunnilingus in an earworm chorus. on the dance floor or between the sheets: you wont forget *eat my pussy* anytime ...

at a time when the weekly flow of new albums, eps and mixtapes come to exceed the number of e-mails that pile up in our inbox, the dazzle in lokoms new double single is like the long anticipated rainfall season in a tropical country: nothing protrudes yet everything is present. totally melodic and surprisingly quiet despite its fabulous rhythmic complexity, good news from mars soothes like a perfect conversation in a sea of things left unsaid. at the same time dry, blazing and melancholic, blurred vision recalls the brooklyn duo team shadetek in their early 2000 years, when the two were still hesitating between ambient warpish glitch and grime jolts. when combined, both tracks offer a vision inspired by the union in 2014 of electronica and experimental dance: an infinity of possibilities where hope still exists. download card inside.

nice price deal !!! raw waxes continues the release number four with one more original track from the noisemaker. the edition 4.2 is enriched by the remixes of korova, duo who were protagonists of our first release, and inigo kennedy, old school artist truly appreciated by raw waxes. on side c, point x15 advances as an acid robot going ahead with swollen broken baselines covering sinister and rough ambients. the rhythm gets darker and nimbler as far as the stylus moves on the decks. on the side d, korova delivers the mirror of their hypnotic and straight techno soul. drums play hard, ambients are kept happily enjoyable, while the acid synths and chords go with the flow embellishing the original version. inigo kennedy’s reinterpretation seems to come from early ’90 productions on missile records. acid elements and palpitating hi-hats, followed by the syncopated bass drum, gradually fire the minds up and accelerate the roll of weird but deep moments. pure industrial machine guns.

after making waves with early and idiosyncratic eps on labels like rush hour and astro:dynamics, singular uk talent bnjmn now steps up to make his debut on delsin with six tracks of experimental and inventive noise and techno. coil opens his account with screechy, unnerving synths squeals, imposing and throbbing pads and super deep kick drums that come at you from miles below. it s a hugely textured and spine tingling affair before the ambiance of berth comes rippled with glassy and alien little melodies. merge has turbo charged drums hiding beneath more unsettled synth based noise that sound sernee at the same time as being paranoid. on the flip, and suddenly makes your hairs stand on end with is gothic celestial glow and slithering synth patterns, blown is a damaged and degraded bit of icy, thumping and reverb heavy techno and azure ends on a brain soothing, chilled out ambient high. these are the sort of truly unique and magically textured tracks you would expect from a producer like bnjmn, and mark a fine debut on delsin.

producer and boss of mathematics records, jamal moss a.k.a hieroglyphic being is a one-off musical explorer. jamals music takes cues from the ebm and house that played a huge part in the city s musical underground in the late eighties and early nineties, notably ron hardy and adonis, but also industrial, avant-jazz and noise. his tireless schedule of rough low-key releases over the last 12 years and his intense, very physical, psychedelic music, have made him a key exponent or maybe even a pioneer of what has recently come to be named outsider house, although he prefers the more sun-ra like descriptors of rhythmic cubism and cosmic be-bop.
the double vinyl lp includes a download code for the full album.

the original, with a well-constructed bassline incorporates a warm up melody that begins to set the tone for the night ahead. each layer is distinct as the track begins to build itself right to its crescendo when each of those individual layers collectively come together. you can distinctly hear the 80 s like synths that are cleverly inserted into the track which are highlighted by the female vocal samples. the grittier elements add a touch of darkness and instantly transport you to a warehouse club with an intimate atmosphere. the remix, done by the widely loved tech-house duo pleasurekraft jack up the tempo a notch, and add a bouncy groove to the track. where the original brought out a darker side, the remix is more upbeat and settles in well for a peak hour set. bringing that crisp bassline to the fore, and tuning out the melodies to make them a tad subtler it showcases a more tech-house version of the original. there s an added element a slightly more haunted vibe which is coupled together with those gritty and harder elements. all i can conclude is what a tech-house bomb this is from the highly talented pleasurekraft. they always manage to bring something new and unique to every single track they ve ever remixed which truly shows their remarkability as consistently good producers.

sandwell districts rrose launches a new label with a follow up to >motormouth variations<, last years unlikely collaboration with legendary improviser and synthesizer pioneer bob ostertag (named one of 2011s top 50 albums by the wire magazine).
for the debut release on eaux, rrose searched through ostertags cassette archives to discover a lost gem of studio improvisation from 1977. >the surgeon general< sees the barely post-teen bob ostertag exploring feedback techniques with an early buchla modular synthesizer, tape delay, flute and violin. the results are uncharacteristically moody, spacious, and well ahead of their time. on the flip, rrose provides two new revisions. >no child left behind< is a noisy and hypnotic acid-laden beast designed for dancefloor damage, while >her insides laid bare< takes the original into murky subaquatic territory. look for much more to come from rrose and eaux in the coming months.

another intelligence, is a label with new tools for creative dj s and techno artists. jeff mills, jonas kopp, kr!z and dimi angelis already play this release. after contact, the integration of new goals and thoughts is unstoppable. “cyclical” represents the possibilities of the minimum, the essence is in the little things. “the whisperer” is the idea that approaches the minds in a sudden way, that come to settle “establecimiento” and provides a state of reflection based on logical thinking “logic process”. the techno of the future is in our living present. just obtain your own conclusions.

ample play records release a heavy duty collection of richard norris recent time and space machine mixes on double vinyl, including download code. a man of many guises, he has operated as a duo - as the grid with dave ball, as beyond the wizards sleeve with erol alkan - but when it is time for some solo sonic action, he records and remixes as the time and space machine. we find him at it here: *the way out sound from in*, reworking the most cosmic beat combos around into hitherto unheard psychedelic shapes. warpaint, jagwar ma, temples, psychemagik, the sufis and more fall into the time and space machine and come out the other side with wider grins and shinier eyes. it is the way out sound from in ... all aboard.
