for the 2nd release in their 30th year aniversary trilogy transmat presents one of the most promising talents emerging from the electronic scene from tel aviv. deep a & biri try to fully introduce their sound from atmospheric hypnotic beats to banging acid dancefloor killers.

the r zone series excels at raw, inventive, off kilter club music from a range of mysterious artists. that fine tradition continues once more here with another four cuts of inventive music that takes cues from techno, idm, acid and house. lumidei is all wonky drums and out of time hits and is a brilliantly weird cut full of spacious atmospherics. mynheer is built on a bed of broken beats, knocking hits and metallic textures that all tumble and fall around loosely and invitingly.

turning into the home stretch, figure hands the penultimate release of its spc-series to an anonymous yet auspicious talent.on his first output under the ubx127 guise, the producer reveals his wares, combining classic bleep techno with just the right dose of acid. the four driving tracks thrive on their distinct synth-modulations, each scurrying atop a firm groundwork of brooding basses. apparent analogue sequencing pervades the whole ep, infusing it with a feeling of constant motion and liveliness.

debut release for scuderia, luciano lamanna moon child is a dancefloor killer blending hyopnotic synth with buried harmonic echoes over a violent kick and a powerful bassline. another heavyweight takes care about the remix: unit moebius anonymous. he reworks the track adding an acid noise trace that leads into extraterrestrial war march recalling cynical atonal techno form. pressing on translucent vinyl.

here we have the fourth and last reference of the “moog your body” series, in which, as always, we have 4 tracks from 4 different artists. for this release we team up with cream soda aka locked club, moscow based duo, that offers a particular vision of acid house with his track “one more night stand”, mixing low-fi jacking and hip-house in a record that will be the artists first vinyl giveaway. the next cut is 6tma’s, our franchise-man. his new mutant rave composition, “joan manuel serato”, more focused towards breaks and uk hardcore, is going to destroy the dance floor again.

unequal is a label founded by anselm from frankfurt am main in 2015. ranging from deep, spaced out analog techno to more droning, industrial rough sounds, the aim is to give an impression of whats going on in the ffm underground these days. sophisticated broken beats and modular synths are essential for this project. unequal means not to be just one specified style but an open-minded platform to express a diverse view of music within the techno genre. with his first ep called -gral-, anselm delivers some cold, moody techno tracks with spherical soundscapes as an connecting element. the title track on the a side is a journey through wide open extramundane synth layers and bubbling acid drops covered by a voluminous bass. b1 is a bit more conventional one with driving hi-hats and slightly jacking beat whereas b2 is four-to-the-floor trippy stripped-down minimalism for the heads.

in demand repress for this great title ! ...great dont release featuring lots of acid and cover versions to boot! fresh re-rubs of blake baxters >sexuality< and joey beltrams >energy flash< dont recordings reaches the big 20th release and marks the occasion with a double headed ep that looks both backwards and forwards! neil landstrumm has always been a big influence on the sound of the label and here he steps up and delivers 2 monsters that while being completely his own, are also respectful cover versions of classic techno tracks that any techno head worth their salt will recognise. the originals are from 1988 and 1990 but these versions have been completely programmed from scratch using no samples. this is one for the connoisseurs! flip the 12 inch and what you get is two massive acid house party rippers from matt whitehead. matts been tearing up the london scene the last few years with his fresh take on the classic house and techno of the late 80s and when we at dont heard >to the beat< it was snapped up immediately! simply great, dramatic acid house music that is as catchy as it is timeless

heard on “melancholia” are interpretations of honzo’s subconscious visions of life. the intense compositions are made up of drones, noises and distorted beats moving in and out of the frame. on opener “orientalism” said elements blend with hi-hat brushes, brassy synth pads, sci-fi noises and distant human voices evoking islam’s “adhan” (call to prayer). the theme contemplates over alienation caused by western accounts of “orientalism”, soaked in “hüzün” (the turkish term for melancholia). on a2 a rework of “moral masochism” is provided by the mysterious shadows outfit, starting with a distorted guitar over a slow and gritty rhythmic backbone which gradually turns into a chaotic high-intensity acid jam on the ep’s most dance floor suitable cut. on the flipside, “lovesickness” presents a broken kick rhythm periodically flipped by toms and accompanied by a disorienting hi-hat rhythm, ghostly strings and sporadic human moans – all resulting in a tribal mood, recalling a ceremony, perhaps a quest for a saviour from the blue temper? b2 presents the “moral masochism” original. again a distorted guitar plays over a slow rhythm, but compared to the remix, the original’s intensity is introverted, contemplating over melancholia’s effect of deriving gratification from self-inflicted moral humiliation. ambient closer “emptiness” explores a cold state with such an encapsulating airiness that it feels like a close account of another person’s mood down to the impression of their breath. arpeggiated synth noises appear from a distance representing increasing pressure from the outside world without ever suppressing the state of mind. as a result, “emptiness” sums up the state of melancholia experienced as a mood rather than the effect of a cause.

the guys from dub-ito headquarters (claudio mate & francesco mazzocco) introduce a new chapter of the label with -here we are- ep , a nice various artists landing in the deep, dark, dub as well as industrial territories via london , berlin and the hot buenos aires . david hausdorf is one of the pioneer of the berlin old school techno dub scene… his track -reed- from 98 was until now unreleased. andrea ruffino well known as nax acid , italian born, based in london with -endless fragments- presents his typical trademark sound. italian dub duo, andrea perrini & alessandro verrina as babe roots with -cold desert dub-show their imprint: for the lovers of dub roots and for the fans of basic channel/ rhythm sound, it s perfect also for a balearic sunset .. volkova industrial/darkwave band from buenos aires / berlin invite in the land of the dark with -come and see-.

tracks description:
a1 - raining: calma opens up with a hypnotic rumbler! snaps and claps take us in, before the eery synths and floating pointesque keys punctuate and a squelqchy, distorted bassline rumbles beneath the surface, making you feel like you re at a party in a haunted church. a2 - cuattro: calma takes us on a tropical trip, with an infectious sun-filled groove looping over incessant layers of beat patterns that weave in and out of the track teasingly, driven along by a banging bass drum to keep you nodding. b1 - mr amarè: calma shows his love for acid house with an epic, ever-evolving influenced roller that blends together nearly every percussion instrument you could ever dream of. crashes, symbals and a cowbell drive it along, underscored by a seriously funky bass line and mysterious vocal sample that emerges halfway through tying it all together nicely. b2 - cuattro /juju & jordash rmx): juju and jordash take over the remix duties for calma. the dutch duo add their deep trademark sunshine inflected beats and sturdy basslines to the already tropical loop, while infusing swirling synths and strings that lead us in and out of the breakdowns and on to a late night, chilled-out dance floor.

cristi cons and vlad caia aka sit conclude their sideways trilogy with three dancefloor oriented tracks, meant to awake different feelings in each one of us. the sample embroidery molded into the pure acid form of angels will leave us smiling in wonder. the fast paced scratch theme from reconnect may satisfy our dancing hunger, or we can just lose ourselves into the myriad filtered bits of shadow, with its breaks sequence as our only guiding path. this is the last piece of the sideways’ puzzle, when the last droplets of energy left inside our bodies, after this 15 tracks long analog ride, are spent for seizing the present. the closing moment, when the curtain falls and our minds are still trying to decipher the hidden message. a message that points out to the diversity of electronic music envisioned through sit s creative touch.

mini compilation showcasing various strains of acid and electro. art mechanical s junq, showcases his futuristic acid electro on 303 days on kepla-47c, syncom data further the acid heat with unphazd (strings attached mix). on the flip we have a rare outing from microthol, who lay down mod_electro_mix4, a chiming stripped back cut that reminisces of the early noughties. finally etcher’s departure brings his quirky acid to close off the ep

superconcious present a further evolution for melbourne producer andras. looney house recorded with diy immediacy, this fresh 5 tracker takes subtle cues from cajmere, pal joey and lesser known 90s australian cuts culled from the 3rrr fm library. t.n.t.f. was the fastest track andrás had even written until revving the pajero offroad and clocking 138 bpm on always pumping. on the two mixes of gold coast, he finds heaven in a tourist hell, making hotel room acid before hitting the balcony for some cool breakbeat over a bacardi and coke. the absurdity continues with the horny australiana disco of soy boy, rounding off a welcome return to his inimitable solo work.

love notes from brooklyn is proud to present a brand new and promising young american artist in the form of tape hiss. these three moody and emotive tracks fit in perfectly with the label sound love notes has been developing over their last few release. the panic in needle park, the clear standout track, begins the ep with gloomy synth washes at a chugging, pitched down speed. that track is then ably reworked by fellow brooklynite, willie burns, of lies and wt records, who breaks the beat up for a stunted and unique reinterpretation. on the flip, love is a dog from hell brings a little acid to the proceedings, and traces to nowhere closes it out on consitantly dark and moody note. literates will note the bukowski references throughout. another winner for this label

2016 repress!!!! slow life finally get out the first release from their label, albeit not before the second one dropped! skittering, jersey-edged numbers sit alongside juno-acid bangers and a wailing sax detroit cut. killer!

“ultra thin” is a sure hit dance floor filler manufactured with super catchy funky bites wrapped on heavy rhythms and crunchy 8bit percussion. on the same side, “way out” is a premium hi-energy filtered house anthem.
on the b side, the original mix of “manner” is a mellow deeper cut built on a long spoken word tale floating over hypnotic beats, while the remix of the young talented federico brasi is an acid jacking minimalistic reinterpretation featuring solid vintage flavored drums.

2016 repress , with this ep reilg makes his debut on his own label, lofile. much more subdued than the first ep, lfr 002s a-side appears almost minimalistic, touched with melancholy - going into a deeper state of mind with its bright, clear and distinct accents - like the first rays of dawn, breaking through its background. its like a dark bokeh, rough and raw, clearly influenced by deep techno tracks.its sounds create a mood close to labels like dial and giegling, geared to the morning hours.the b-side remixes by edward and tilman tausendfreund become much more peak time fitting.edwards soulitude remix with a touch of electro strikes with deep and iridescent gravitational attraction.the derailed remix by tilman tausendfreund tops it off,with its acid bassline and house inspired sound. light and bright like a summer breeze, its impossible to not be touched and drawn towards its timbre.

perseus trax returns to wax with this first outing on new imprint secret gang. three scorching hot electro/acid excursions. bustling percussion and squelching synths meet head on, resulting in pure dance floor destruction.

new york s gunnar haslam appears on l.i.e.s. with his third lp for the label titled lebesgue measures. picking up where he left off on his last long player mirrors and copulation we hear an evolution in his sound throughout the nine songs. still there are the understated yet grooving acid lines next to carefully programmed drums and attention to surrounding detail which creates beautiful and balanced atmospheres. there is a brightness coupled with an underlying sullenness tapping into some sort of mystical and seemingly obscured narrative which moves through the entire record. deep and immersive stuff to say the least.

u-more is back on his label with the fourth release, exactly one year after great u-more003 release. his new album is different, new, clean, colorful, lively. you will find all his musical influences, originating since the 90s that led him to a sound all of his own. vinyl only!

every dog has that certain spot: you scratch it, and your four-legged friend starts kicking out in highest ecstasy, losing all control of his reflexes. the tunes of timboletti work pretty much like that. only he s using full-bodied bass lines to stimulate his audience. it almost seems like the bodies on the dancefloor get invisibly connected to the membranes of the speakers and their rhythmic movement. on top of that, timboletti employs psychelicious sounds and melodies, enchanted sample scraps and a pinch of acid, a cocktail that tickles through the brain of the listener as if somebody poured a glass of champagne into it. the essence of forward thrust and deepness, on this ep in five different variations and tree further remixes.

berlin-based palms trax continues adding to his run of quality efforts with the forthcoming release of his high point on low ground ep: impressive effort number two for the dekmantel imprint. serving up three retro-futuristic killers, donaldson parades his ability to touch on the many different corners of contemporary house music, whilst delivering heavyweight dancefloor standards. the title track blazes a beaten-up vocal snippet over stanked-out synths, stretched to a breaking point across a low-riding bass line. a stabbing moroder-esque bass line dominates cloud city , whilst paws equals pure and raw broken-beat bliss with a pinch of acid.
