following on from their exceptional jojoman release in 2015, the romanian trio premiesku strike gold again on ralph lawsons highly respected 20/20 vision imprint.&#8232,,,the 20/20 vision label has been pumping out quality music for over two decades, and is one of the uk s defining independent dance labels. the focus over the years has always been on quality and that approach is one that has paid off with this ep being no exception. &#8232,,,&#8232,,,the new floor shaking ep ‘in sfera’ is a tight package of dance floor groovers that will be sure to kick any night into 5th gear. every track has its own unique flavour that compliment each other flawlessly, with fuse boss enzo siragusa concluding the collection with a remix of the title track. a champion of all things deep, minimal, and stripped back, enzo has evolved his unique sound that is showcased in the final number.&#8232,,,&#8232,,,the trio pride themselves on pushing the boundaries of electronic live music performance, both technically and sonically and have already tasted success on influential labels such as apollonia, all inn records, vakant, pressure traxx and djebali to name a few. &#8232,,,&#8232,,,they take their custom made analogue hardware all over the globe, including world renowned festivals like lovelands, sunwaves and modernity as well as top clubs including amnesia ibiza, rex paris and stereo montreal. most recently the guys were back spinning at the legendary fabric london, you can check out their preparations and technical set up ahead of the show here.&#8232,,,&#8232,,,it was clear that after premiesku took number 21 in resident advisors top 40 live acts that 2016 really increased their impact in the underground scene and now they have firmly established themselves as one of the world’s most sought after groups, with the latest ep once again seeing them utilise their expertly crafted and infectiously percussive productions.

up next on 20/20 vision we welcome the ever-diverse and evolving nathan jonson. following a decade of producing and dj ing as hrdvsion, nathan has stepped out under his birth name to mark a new stage in his career. cross colours is a perfect representation of this new stage, a hybrid of all the styles he has become renowned for. when we heard cross colours we were all in agreement that luke vibert would be the perfect remixer. luckily luke agreed too and turned in a killer take on the original, flirting with early rave and hardcore whilst keeping the electro aesthetic. the b side is rounded off with a club focused version from ralph lawson & rui-z (which has already being championed by seth troxler on his most recent essential mix) and a dark techno rework from exciting new 20/20 signing dokta, who you can expect to hear a lot more from this year.

ypy is the work of osaka based koshiro hino. having recently released on labels such as nous, his own label birdfriend, and the legendary em records koshiro now presents the 7 track lp 2020 for where to now? records. the lp leads with the slow building, off kilter title track 2020,where flurries of eastern horns skitter beneath evolving layers of wonked yet beautifully balanced percussive movements, coming off like a technoid homage to the fourth world works of eno & hassel. as is the case with much of hinos music, as the piece develops it takes on heavier and heavier modes of experimentation and excitement turbines whirr and fizz alongside layers and layers of percussion, constantly teetering on the edge of no-wave breakdown whilst never losing sight of the rhythmic backbone, recouping from every moment of collapse with total grace.

ltd 2016 repress !!
stuttgarts motor city drum ensemble (aka danillo plessow aka inverse cinematics),presents a superb ep of deep house taking its cues from berlin and detroit. 2008 was a great year for motor city drum ensemble releasing parts one and two of the highly acclaimed raw cuts series which featured heavily in many best of 2008 house music charts. he finished the year with an excellent resident advisor podcast and a set at the resident advisor christmas party. his ‘get slapped up’ release on compost black and ‘breath control’ release on his own four roses label have been in the boxes of taste maker djs and seen him become an in demand producer. danillo is also a part of the inverse cinematics production team who have released on pulver, fuid ounce showcasing his more jazzy, broken beat production style. this debut 2020 release features three superb tracks that take their inspiration from the likes of theo parrish and carl craig as well as the deep house sound of berlin, yet retain the signature mcde sound.

it gives us great please to present subb-an’s first solo release on 20/20 vision. since his joint release with adam shelton 4 years ago, we have been very keen to get him involved on a solo release and the time is now! since he arrived on the scene he has since gone on to become one of its biggest players, with a constantly jam-packed tour schedule and a loyal fan base. this is all down to his considered dj sets, and trademark groove & appeal that accompany all of his productions.

carl finlow could be regarded as one of the cornerstones of not only 20/20 vision, but also of british electronic music. his boundary pushing, electro-tinged productions under the random factor alias make for essential 20/20 listening, as does his work as 1/4 of 2020soundsystem. while this year has been about looking to the future of the label, we also felt it was important that we looked deep into our history and revisited one of our all time classic records: random factor – broken mirror. on the a side carl has prepared a new ‘revisted’ version for this release and this is accompanied by the original version from 1999. for the remixer we thought long and hard about someone we felt would be suitable. someone with pedigree in the electro scene, who would feel as passionate as we do about making this release something truly special. there was only really one person we wanted and luckily when we contacted legowelt he was a big fan of the original track and was super keen to get onboard the project. we hope you enjoy these two pioneers of the electro scene going head to head x
