psst! shtum is the new sublabel of dresdens uncanny valley and it is created for proper techno and raw house tracks, music best listened to in a room full of strobe light and fog. right at the start youll get monomood with three dark and powerful tracks. parameter one is one of those techno stompers you cant help but fiercely nod your head to. the lyrics in the crafter might suggest it but actually nobody is afraid of the dark. not even after hell breaks loose with unrelenting chords. also, vault takes no prisoners while keeping the cellar door shut with its nasty acid lines and raw drum work. the musical concept has been interpreted visually by aram haydeyan and uncanny valley artist jacob stoy.

keeping with tradition, the second italojohnson release of 2012 once again presents itself in the likeliness of a 12inch wax with three tracks. the one-track mind repeats the same funk-nationalistic character of italojohnson and once more shows its simplicity. this tune comes to its rite where it is loud and dirty but even headz sitting at home will be able to feel the sun rise. boom shakalaka. the double-track side has some surprises in store for its listeners. for those in the know, the first track is also known as >bootytrack<. this track always pushes the low end to the limit and under the right circumstances guarantees some hip swing. number two may sound familiar, but even if you dont know its rootz, youll still be down with each other

having spent most of 2012 so far further establishing itself as a global bastion of forward thinking electronic dance music, the rwina label is changing things up a little with an ep from young dutch producer jameszoo.
on faaveelaa jameszoo displays the kind of brazen ingenuity that youth affords by drawing inspiration from dancehall before finding its edge to craft an entirely new take on the genre and using that to paint a colourful sonic picture of what he imagines a favela might look like. sounds mad? it is, in a good way. by his own admittance the picture he paints is also a bit messy, yet there is beauty in chaos. as for the inspiration, it can sometimes be hard to hear at first though anyone familiar with jamaicas dancehall tradition will recognise the instantly catchy quality of faaveelaas riddims.
