house crime bounce back into the mix following the utterly essential steven bc release with this sixth jaunt through tough and rough beats from the backalley of the house music story, this time narrated by anthony fade. the drums are dirty distorted machine splatters, the synths wobble under the weight of their own fuzziness and the samples crunch like they fell prey to the ropiest of mpcs, and that s precisely why fade s jams are so damn hot. wild 9 (acid mix) is especially potent, using a simple but deadly 303 line and all kinds of hectic textures, and bout it manages to make melodic deep sound as mean and nasty as it ever should.

lemmy ashton made quite a splash with his first outing on his own tnc label last year, and now hes back to follow up with another salvo of premium heaters geared towards disco friendly dancers. there s a chunky, looped up quality to silver suitcase with its insistent bass lick and slamming drums, but there s equal space for soul thanks to the string-loaded sample hook. by way of contrast lunaire fires up the acid flare and heads straight into a babbling brook of 303-related goodness. amsterdam rounds the ep off on a stomp, whipping up the kind of bombastic disco drama that would get studio 54 moving were it in action today

2017 re:issue ,keys of life continues with its series of releases paying tribute to the sound of acid house, which was spawned in the 1980s chicago when such as inventors as phuture and dj pierre discovered the squelching and mind-expanding sounds of roland s tb-303 bass synthesizer, the invention which eventually had serious repercussions in dance music culture all over the world. tin man a.k.a. johannes auvinen is of finnish descent, having lived all his life in los angeles

pavel ludin returns to poker flat wax with a gripping four-tracker showcasing his myriad of talents. born and raised in eastern siberia, pavel iudin found his way to the underground scenes of moscow and saint petersburg where he firmly established his credentials. the probe ep finds him at the height of his powers, serving up some serious burners. ‘probe 2&#8242,,,, is a throbbing, deep roller with shimmering synths and a shuffling, evolving groove - one for keeping the floor on lock whatever the situation. ‘halo’ has more classic feel to it, clearly a nod to the chicago masters of the 90s, but maintaining a tough and fresh feel that is all ludin’s own. half way though, things really open up into thick, swingy vibe via a killer bassline and snappy percussion. ‘probe 3&#8242,,,, is more acidic outing - although never resorting to the iconic 303, the track is a lysergic journey into dubbed out tech-house. closing out the ep is ‘groundlevel’ - a driving, loopy groover that uses ludin’s feel for atmosphere and tension to the max. the whole ep exudes a steely-eyed mastery of the studio and the dance floor - making pavel iudin one to watch over the next months.

matuss takes techno and turns it on its head. the cybernetic sound has been filled with human emotion, giving it a more organic feel than much of the music that would fall under the genre. she opens her absence seizure 007 ep in trademark style, with a dark jacking cut entitled pitchureque, in which a pulsating bass line throbs alongside ominous acid swells and disorientating panning effects. next up, tektango takes a different route honing in on a set of live tribal tinged percussion, which sway and dissipate with hypnotic effect driven further into the depths with a bubbling synth lead and filtering atmospherics. this live percussion gives the track that organic feel mentioned earlier. escapade kick starts the b-side with a robust rhythm, built from the ground up with resonant hi hat stabs, echoing claps and sturdy kicks which forms the framework for a deranged lead melody laced with wide open synths and emotive chords to carry the groove. closing the package is fonque, where flanger-tinged snare rolls work in unison with driving rhythms, delicate arpeggios and an intricate 303 bass line to create an infectious closing cut.

house maestro uovo, of pastaboys fame, and fresco (one of the most sought-after sound engineers in italy) have crafted a killer sonic spiderweb. be it the evil and edgy acid mix or the slightly unsettling and poisonous retro mix, their “king khan” brings your emotions where they should be, while on a dancefloor. an outer, bittersweet space.after the mighty “er suonone”, by margot, dj ralf’s laterra label strikes back with another perfect, powerful gem.no human beings were harmed during the making of this ep. the following were manipulated: roland 606, roland tb 303, roland 808, roland 909, akai mpc60, acetone, nordlead2, moog little phatty, maschine, native instruments, ableton live, doepfer system a100, dark energy, arp 2600.

nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! ears open for this flex002, a collection of fresh made in italy house and the first journey with our new “piada spaceship”, we are pleased to welcome this bunch of astronauts that made this 12” a versatile tool for every kind of dance floor. yougrent, with his hypnotic and full dreamy track (don’t give us a chance!), the hill’s -short track- which embraces mpc beats and a 303-like evolving bass, alongside the collaboration between our men dj rou and opponent, who build their “afrowalk” on a never-ending jazzy loop. on b side you can find the dirty bass driven by tengrams that make the things more raw, the closing track is from luckyfeels which creates a fresh house track on a 90’s piano.

we dont have much info to give about vicram, partly because the artist doesn t want us to communicate the few things we know. but this is his first ep. its super raw - not necessarily rough. raw like a piece of sushi, an unpolished unvarnished beautiful piece of wood, raw like those bare drum machines and simple acid lines. almost naive, like those early 90s idm-techno record we cherish but with a very different angle. as usual, we liked vicram because we dont really understand how he makes his music.

wer mit deepen house und bassgetriebenen tracks die menge im club hochjagen will, wird an bar 64 nicht vorbeikommen. ein track mit ecken und kanten, voller überraschender effekte, die in takt 64 mit aller eindringlichkeit den nicht zu vermeidenden hands-up-effekt fordern. aufrüttelnd, die komplette aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehend, mitreissend, eigen. ein unkonventioneller drop nimmt auf den zweiten schlag richtig fahrt auf. der rhythmus ohne durchgängigen open-hihat, aber mit groovigen percussions, untermalt von psychedelische orgeln, die die tragenden bässe jagen und so ziemlich jeden subwoofer an seine grenze bringen. die vocals an sich sind derart verfremdet, dass sie viel mehr an die hypnotisch treibende 303-linie erinnern. der mehrfach gelayerter sound, mit einer vielschichtigen soundstruktur sorgt dafür, dass -bar 64- sich immer wieder aufs neue in unsere köpfe brennt. die ep, die sich erfrischend neu von gängigen club-tracks unterscheidet, liefert drei erlesene remixe, aus der schmiede von ridney (cafe mambo ibiza), alain ho (yellow production) sowie dem newcomer samplicity, der mit -bar 64- sein eindrucksvolles debüt gibt. während der -ridney remix- im unverkennbaren sound als klassisches dj tool zu einer festen größe im underground avanciert, bettet der -samplecity dub remix- die psychedelische orgel in ein klassisches after-hour-club-tool aus dem dj-kreis der produzenten. altmeister alain ho steuert mit seinem mix eine etwas reduziertere version bei, die stilsicher elemente aus dem original mix zitiert und unaufdringlich in einem über acht minuten andauernden track münden - ein hauch cafe del mar inklusive.

spencer parker returns on his own imprint this march with a four-track track release as part two of the three part different shapes and sizes series. following on from the raw and stripped back house jam aesthetic as seen in part one, parker kicks off this techno release with size information a track with driving kicks, subtle atmospherics, and infectious panning percussion. next up is shape deviation, which hones in on a twisted 303 arpeggio and is saturated in white noise and backed up with entrancing drums, before shape fascination goes into full drum machine workout mode with off kilter 808 claps fuelled by a hypnotic synth bass line. size devotion rounds off the release with its raw and distorted kicks and simplistic yet effective mesmeric male vocal samples.

chicago house legend mystic bill joins crimes of the future with two straight up jacking house tracks with bonus instrumental and a mind bending remix by scott fraser. bill torres needs little introduction to those fans of the original chicago movement in the late 1980 s and 1990 s, he produced a string of 12inches for the likes of trax and relief records whilst playing and holding down dj residences in some of the citties best loved venues. after remixing scott fraser s no word of truth release last year on his dx recordings label his first full solo release on crimes of the future has arrived.the a cut frequency 9 is a rolling jacker with rattling percussion and dark synth stabs to dement the warehouse dancefloor and very much in the line of bills trademark style. a2 sees fraser return the remix favour delivering a massive floor bumping remix adding all new drums, 303 and huge bassline giving a nod to the classic sound of those sex trax/ power music 12s from the 1990 s with his 11 minute mind control remix. the frequency cannot be controlled! side b has both the original and a bonus intrumental of the ship is sinking, a dark slice of jacking house complete with real tension and total mastery of the sampler for those able to spot it.

aelfric michael avery has been a self-reliant artist for a long time. the canadian producer has been exploring underground acid and rough, homemade techno since releasing his first material as avery monarch back in 1994. however it wasn’t until more than ten years later that his music would surface again on his own napalm enema label. napalm enema has also carried work by the likes of faltydl, paul blackford and mrs jynx. avery has released just as much music under his acid elf guise, most notably appearing alongside +10 acid crew (jodey kendrick) for the sought-after bruvs acid ep, and now the alias makes a welcome return to vinyl with four essential tracks from the archives. there’s a subdued, hypnotic and delirious quality to the productions on this ep for arma, ranging from the uneasy delay pulses of fetus to the metallic clamour of urban wasteland, but most importantly they’re all injected with a distinctive personality that stands apart from the 303-tweaking masses.

from the twilight zone of rhythm section international comes a new label for 2017: international black. international black is the sound when the lights go off. recorded entirely on analogue hardware via reel to reel tape, this inaugural release features two hypnotic and timeless tracks from two of south london’s finest exponents of real house music. the record is made with the dancefloor in mind, channelling that moment in the club where things get dark, hypnotic, a bit weird and a lot more interesting.

almost 20 years later, the fog is remixed and will be re-released on limited edition vinyl.
junk project are the masters of trippy acid techno for over two decades now. they placed their unique signature on the fog and the result is a deep driving acid techno burner.
oliver kucera’s remix takes no prisoners and he busts out a fat 909 and 303 sound.
belgium’s long time producers trax x vs sinesweeper need no introduction. their large number of acid releases set fire to many dancefloors and their remix of the fog is no exception.
last but not least, roger van lunteren s remix takes it to a more relaxing level. drift away on the deep detroit sound of the early days.

alex cortex delivering the heat!! mr cortex is kicking hard with a direct and mental techno tracks! oscillon, a1, is a bleepy affair, direct and repetitive, but please, play it loud and watch. rheometric is in the same alley as oscillon but bringing the bleeps and glitches trip even more in your face. combined with the fat but quirky bassline, it does the peak time techno thing extremely well. b1 s title -shear wave- does the track justice. backed by a fat downtempo beat, the distorted 303-reminiscent synth line cuts through the mix in a way that s impossible to ignore. strain rate tensor rounds up the previous three cuts, also in a very dancefloor-friendly manner. bubbly main lead and anxiety-inducing pad sneaking in the background seem to be the main thing, until another synth hits you as a counterpoint and flips everything upside down. proper no-nonsens stuff!!

since his massive works on sunday ep from the middle of 2016 archie s star has risen considerably, peaking with his inclusion at no.70 on ra s end of year dj poll. here he steps up for ep duties once more on his spiritual home of fuse london, driven to distraction kicks things off with a bubbling acidic groover while telegram also harnesses the power of the 303 albeit in a more trippier form. channelled rounds things off with an elegantly floated groove, it s melodic elements and aquatic kick heralding the shift in seasons beautifully.

shaun reeves & tuccillo mark visionquest’s first release of 2017 with their ‘origin 99’ ep, comprising four collaborative original tracks from the pair. individually shaun reeves and tuccillo have been driving forces in the realms of underground house for quite some time, collectively releasing on labels such as raum, 2020 vision, circus company and more. this time round though the pair’s material finds a home with visionquest, label co-founder shaun reeves joins forces with tuccillo, following his solo ‘full time’ ep on the imprint in 2016, for a new synergistic release. up first is title track ‘origin 99’ which sees the pair deliver a smooth understated house style via organic percussion, winding dub stabs and tension building atmospheric to create a subtly evolving six and a half minute cut. ‘one two five’ follows and lays focus on a more stripped-back aesthetic with sparse rhythmic hits, tumbling sub hits and a dreamy bell chime melody. ‘prowler’ opens the latter half of the package with soft chord sequences and wandering delayed synth lines running alongside 303 bass and shuffled snares before ‘blood moon’ closes the package on a raw minimalistic vibe with swirling dub echoes and intricately evolving percussion.

matrixxman has been a dekmantel regular for a couple of years now. the san francisco producer continues to impress with a new triptych for dekmantel records. over the course of three eps (rhythm, acid, polyphony), charles mccloud duff displays his versatile and original take on house and techno. the concept of the triptych is to explore the range within the confines of a particular limitation. this second ep sector ii: acid- shows an exercise in acid. similarly, the tb-303 may conjure certain knee-jerk reactions at a glance, but acid has the potential to cover a broader palette of emotion than one might initially expect. sector ii holds three squirming 303 sequences and the classic rhythmic drum programming of arrival, bad acid and i am matrix. rites on the other hand is more subtle and fluent, swinging with hazy acid flourishes and dynamic syncopation.

alien jams presents planet bangs, the 4th album from nochexxx, following on from 2015s dirt-driven apocalyptic electro jaunt plot defender (type recordings). this six track lp plants another stick in the mud, showcasing the producers love for oddball tape-saturated electronic delirium. planet bangs is clearly an ecosystem in distress..., metawitch s clanging rocks paves the way for creepy unsettling yelps and 303 squelch - an acid drenched broomstick joyride over mounds of rolling subs and hilly sines-waves - on stickshift, straight-jacketed conga loops barely spit enough voltage to hold pace, like a sputtering raymond scott machine in respiratory collapse. wafting familiar smoke signals originally lit by 90s era warp and detroit techno, overhound springs out the trap with a booty bounce towards the finish line. artwork by zeke clough. 180g vinyl, mastered by rupert clervaux.

the moment the track between pounds its first kick, you can t help but be immediately sucked in by doc sleeps ear for sophisticated, minimal, beautifully engineered sounds. between is a track that stays on its groove while soft gorgeous pads pass over you like waves, it s the perfect time for patrons of a dingy basement dance floor to connect in the dark. lastly, ampere is a track that lays out a solid techno soundscape that is mixed up at the listeners surprise with heavily reverb’d snare hits and brooding sweeps. on the b side, two remixers bring doc sleep s ep into a different dimension. bottom forty label head nark extracts the gorgeous pads and pulls them to the forefront of between, starting with a long ethereal intro sure to stop and sway any dance floor before continuing into a grimy minimal 303 bass line as the subtle rubs to doc sleep s original sounds lend it an exasperated grinding element. the second remix from bottom forty artist cid & fancy takes ampere into a place of rhythmic organized chaos with synth stabs that shoot off like metal sparks.

after a first collaboration focusing on the city of angels, la legend john tejada and acid innovator tin man (johannes auvinen), this time brooding on the latters home city, and formers birthplace, vienna. the austrian capital is known as the city of music and the city of dreams, two broadly aligning concepts that go far in describing this beguiling 12-inch. the four songs were mixed down live to 2 tracks, created in the real world without a daw, or multi tracking, which has really captured the spirit of performance and improvisation. succeeding railjet, a tense drum workout, comes bim, referring to the colorful trams that run through vienna. here, auvinen sculpts his 303 into near-pizzicato form. the acid box is accompanied by stately pads making for one of the duo’s most memorable tracks yet. the next cut, danube nights, references the mighty, ancient river, the flow motion mirrored by a couple of widescreen acid lines. a pensive lead and some melancholy chords emerge, but the drums roll right along like the water- tough enough for a heaving floor with a hint of fragility for the headphones. the record concludes with the acidic prater allee, named after idyllic, sprawling park on the banks of the danube. the duos love letter to vienna is well-suited for travel, for the dance and for dreaming.

sinfol readies a two-part release on his anagram label featuring anetha, elad magdasi, octual and more. curated by amsterdam s sinfol, volume 1 of phasing faces will feature himself alongside italy s davide, berlin s elad magdasi and parisian producer anetha. meanwhile volume 2 will see core anagram artist octual helm the package, joined by mathame, who s appeared on krill music and souvenir music, as well as maukook who s also known under his dj playstation moniker. sinfol s dark and ominous trembling lays down a cacophony of sounds whilst a mesmerizing voice operates on top. the ethereal and rhythmic ono from da?vide then introduces soaring synths and various spectral nuances before work them records producer and blocaus resident anetha s acid train lives up to its name with an infectious 303 and raves stabs. tying things together, front left records elad magdasi s two floors closes off the release in an epic manner with thudding kicks and otherworldly melodies.

by way of zagreb, croatia meet strahinja arbutina. his music is a mixture of noise, techno and industrial. add a 303 with an occasional memphis rap sample and you can start to describe his music. its not that simple, he also doesn’t shy away from hardcore and the absurd. whether pushing boundaries in his mixes or tape releases, you can be sure strahinja is going to be releasing quality music for years to come. highly recommended!

bleep. easily one of the most influential sounds to grow out of the burgeoning electronics scene of the late 80s. nowadays, easily one of the most overlooked genres. but not around njimgen. shipwrec are turning some deserved attention to those pioneering plinks and plonks for a 12- homage to the trailblazers of the sound, lfo. quadratschultz provides the material, the german artist serving a warehouse brewed, acid spiked, tribute to mark bell and gez varley. posthuman ruffle the edges that bit more with a bleary eyed 303 monster before countryman fah gives basslines a steroid injection for a thick and meaty mix. varley closes with a tribute to his former group. his lfo remix might be a solo endeavour but it has all the raw unrefined dancefloor energy that characterised the music of a certain pair of young lads from leeds cerca 1990. bleep bliss.

the always trustworthy sound carrier label steps back into the limelight to hit us with another fix of quality techno from monsieur chris carrier. the parisian producer never stops making music, and he presents three new extra terrestrial cuts here on this latest instalment from his excellent label. the story here is about two powerful intergalactic beings who discover that they have been lied to by their leaders - there are no magic mushrooms, just a forest of poisoned ones. they have laid down their arms to discuss this despicable turn of events… track one is a rolling slice of analogue techno with acid licks and squelches bubbling away at its core. named ‘cat’s eye nebula’ it sucks us in to an interplanetary vortex, with cosmic fx transporting to the interior of a spaceship, while the beats give the feeling of a bumpy ride into the cosmos. this is followed by the more composed solemnity of ‘galactus’. shuffling beats slide over a funky bassline, the outer space theme continues with carrier implementing a series of manipulated sounds which convey the feeling of futuristic machinery, blinking dashboards or robots communicating with one another. finally, we have ‘dark poison’, the inspiration behind the whole ep. more deep 303 vibes on this with a simmering analogue riff, percussion which increases in intensity alongside several layers of melodramatic effects, high-pitched twinkles and chimes which really add to the tension

scorched, extended, brutal analogue acid jams from andrew red hand! absolute fire and brimstone production with live take bursts of insane drum action and bubbling, crusted acid lines.

matt whitehead makes his debut on super rhythm trax, giving us ‘crosstalk’, ‘seeing red’ and ‘birdland’ channeling classic detroit and chicago house/techno that’s heavy on the analogue and all recorded down to tape for extra warmth. make sure you don’t miss matt’s electro opus, ‘we’re bombing’, a love letter to the 80’s street sounds that have influenced much of his catalogue to date. then as a special treat for ‘a is for acid’ lovers, we have the raw 303 workout in all it’s solo glory so you can ‘make your own’.

in keeping with the labels 303 based theme, things kick off with blue flame, which sees dj overdose delve into serious 4x4 territory with angelic like synth stabs, jackin’ beats and gnarly acid lines. bare bonus bounce is a stripped back version of blue flame that retains the vocal samples, funk and jacking 4x4 beats. the flip side kicks off with acid lovely, a hefty 303 laden electro work out that certainly lives up to its name. the ep finishes off with work is work which retains the vocal samples of blue flame laid out over a raw and gritty electro beat.

spain s javi bora has been steadily carving out a name for himself over the past few years holding up a residency at the infamous, now late space ibiza and its kehakuma parties, as well as racking up releases for elrow music, suara, robsoul, 2020 vision and moda black. here though we see him paired with fellow spaniard for a new ep set to be released via london s fledgling spilt milk recordings which has played host to material from the likes of italoboyz, alexi delano and of course its founders tred benedict and st. bernard. title-track bounze takes the lead on the record, laying the foundations with snaking synth sequences, voice atmospherics and robust rhythms before hector moralez and katal step in on the remix. the pair reshape bounze with their own stripped-back distinctive style, opting for floating pads, heavily swung percussion and snippets from the originals spoken parts. ritual rights follows and lays focus on arpeggio 303 tinged bass hits, crunchy drums and subtly unfolding synth leads that ebb and flow throughout the record. the 002 then rounds out the package with dubby stab sequences, soaring pad swells and gritty, energetic rhythms

now, if there was ever a record title that could make you look twice its gotta be this seminal slab of jacking chicago mayhem from maurice joshua & hot hands hula. released in the golden year of 1988 on the legendary trax label which was already in full flight and on a major roll at the time. it could have been easy to overlook i gotta big dick because of its (mildly) humorous, tongue in cheek title, but don t be fooled, this is one sleek, charged acid weapon, an early blueprint for the incoming ghetto house scene out of the chi perhaps? if you re somewhat prudish or easily offended by the lyrical content the guys were kind enough to include an instrumental version that jacks in all the right places! also included on this ep is the stone cold classic this is acid which was co-produced by lidell townsell that became an acid house anthem all the way from illinois to ilford. a true school chicago jam indeed! finishing out the ep is the almost apocalyptic acid of -feel the mood- that features a rap from kool rock steady, the combination of twisting 303 s, church-like organs and synths and kool s razor sharp rhymes make for a pretty heavy concoction, use this one wisely damage will occur on the dance-floor! remastered in conjunction with trax records, fully legit, now is the time to revisit a cornerstone of classic chicago house music, often imitated, never bettered!

love notes from brooklyn offers up this platter from a very exciting new brooklyn artist, subtenant. as it says on the tin, the artisanal acid ep is heavy on the 303 squelches and emotional content. each track has a unique pairing of soul and heavy acid funk. evergeen soul is the clear lead track here, using a female snippet to keep this otherwise tough little number dancefloor friendly. this track is then reworked by detroit underground darling, d marc cantu, who pitches things up into funky rave territory. the flip side sees the title track feature the most soulful chords on the entire record, and then on the b2 the artist himself takes to the mic on know how it feels. this whole ep feels live and direct from the brooklyn underground.

after the great ep -young and stupid-, ann clue & boris brejcha are back with their second single release -acid attack“. bringing back the classical 303 in one club banger and diving into a more deep melodic atmosphere in the second one called -roadtrip-.

six action-packed oldschool jams with all the vintage machines you need in your life.

bevor dieses jahr die festival saison begonnen hat bin ich in berlin ins studio gegangen und habe einige tracks für meine sets aufgenommen. zwei stücke davon spiele ich immer und immer wieder, sie wurden zum soundtrack für diesen sommer. sie sind hypnotisch und freaky genauso wie meine dj-sets. bei der produktion der beiden stücke habe ich einige von meinen lieblingsinstrumenten verwendet, die 303, die 909 und den minimoog, um düstere, verzerrte vocals, seltsame beats und pure, drastischer emotion zu erzeugen. die platte ist meine definition des allien sounds. ellen allien, september 2016
