san franciscos icee hot crew is getting ready to celebrate four years of existence, and part of that effort includes a new release, the debut 12inch from san francisco producer avalon emerson.

working together in person has been an important point in cavaans collaborations lately - much preferring the human interaction and local landscapes over the soulless exchange of sound files over the internet. with this point taken care of, the two cavaan guys struck out in a berlin, heidelberg and venice studio. while the awesomeness of the cities kept the team quiet the landscape nonetheless teamed with sounds.

a stunning piece of collaboration of four artists. yapacc returns on elusive with another hydrogen bomb, this time featuring powerful vocals from full-time punk-band drummer / up-and-coming recording artist antonia serra. the b-side by label owner slavaki features two mellow dubby beauties for your home entertainment or early hour club action, and truly can’t be asked to be any better either! and if you think that iss enough, this 12 inch has also been decorated with some cool handmade sleeve art by graphic artist craig keenan! perfect a side, perfect b side, limited handmade cover art. what more do you want from a record?

jeroen search needs no introductions, he is one of the netherlandss leading techno producers who maintains his unique style within the studio, stripped back modern techno with a self assured addition of soul. ravages of time is a deep space exploration of analogue synthesis, taking us back to the future with four retro fuelled techno cuts.

so here i am, happily an album older, introducing the first of adamants remix packages. since the whole project was, generally speaking, a personal affair and a lot of the album was not necessarily club-ready (does that even make sense?), we invited our friends on board to do the dirty deeds for me and rework my sounds into something normal people can dance to. first up are mind against.

after a successful debut last year on redux the machete savane duo are back with two new tracks, gracing felix dickinsons cynic label with the double a sided 12 inch widowmaker / afterburner. both tracks received support from the likes of tim sweeney/beats in space, lee douglas (tbd) and simon lee (faze action).

hailing from yorkshire, but now based in london, bobby krlic, the multi-instrumentalist behind the haxan cloak released an incredible self titled debut album on aurora borealis in 2011, a record that blew away pretty much everyone who happened to hear it. fusing a rare talent for classical composition with a passion for exploring serrated electronic, drone textures, the haxan cloak’s cinematic, complex sound is not an easy one to fully explain in words alone.

having spent the beginning of the year working with his own intergalactic techno band, greasing the project and finally publishing ep vect?r (chaval records), victor santana returns with the first of a brand new solo collection, the seven series. to celebrate the release yet further, victor has drafted in two of technos ultimate heavy-weights: terrence dixon and orlando voorn.

cavaan is the alter ego of a rather well known berlin producer and his fellow from milan. the duo debuts with their very much loved project. they feature a studio-recorded wonderful vocal on this hypnotically modern percussive house affair titled black snow. the original track grooves on some free swinging retro percussions and beats from the 80s machinery and a softly moving house-beat making this a very subtle killer for any dancefloor. while the vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical - you will hear yourself while listening the melodies and sequences. for the remixes turdjr has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of a current top producer. one of heidelbergs coolest kids on the block, lopazz knows that every track gets better with a lot of handmade music-and he sure is right in his interpretation of black snow. last not least i is under on the flip which is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.

easily recognizable by his impassioned johnny cash-meets-charlie feathers vocals, the french-born don cavalli began to get any notice in the greater music and blog community when he released his full-length *cryland* (2007), which featured his amalgamation of swamp blues, lo-fi pop, country gospel, and early rock & roll. in 2013, don cavalli will release his new studio album *temperamental*, staying on blues track while dismantling the traditional codes of the field. indeed, thanks to an old fashioned sound take and a contemporary production, don cavalli makes his new album sound old but incredibly modern. and if *temperamental* goes through many kinds of sounds, in the end it always goes straight to the point: a unique cajun blues from the bayou serving a soul and sophisticated voice. a must-have!

dj nature aka milo steps uponce again to the indispensable golf channel label, with his eagerly awaited debut artist album comprising all original material. a founding member of legendary bristol sound-system collective the wild bunch (which spawned massive attack, tricky and much more), nature made nyc his home in the early 90s & went on to collaborate with the major force crew in japan, before hooking up with gc boss phil south, who thankfully persuaded him to don his production cap once again. there followed a series of acclaimed 12 inch releases through gc which developed a trademark sound, a sound he’s fully realised on >return of the savage<. natures unique take on modern black music is somewhere between the bass heavy sound system cuts on which he cut his teeth and the more nuanced vibe of peers like theo parrish. irresistible, low slung and beautifully structured yet raw club pieces make up this outstanding selection - a superbly packaged gatefold double lp, complete with download codes for individual tracks as well as the mixed version.
