san gabriel is the new forward-thinking beat project from the multi-instrumentalist/producer butchy fuego. his upcoming ep volfe is full of warped and pulsing pan-global club music, a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed out soundscapes and modern r&b minimalism. striking the perfect balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, our first taste from the upcoming ep >gore text< makes for some serious sideways heat. san gabriel has caught the attention of the press early on with signature frantic rhythms and twitchy hi-hat work. along with >gore text<, san gabriel offers up a b-side (not on volfe) called >nu boots< that evokes some aztec sun rave in the year 2040 vibes. just a fiery taste of whats to come on this upcoming debut ep volfe.

echolettes second release manzanillo 002, follows up with a similar tropical -journey feeling- as felt on echolettes first release, perhaps setting the style for this excellent new label. whereas before it was pygmys and bongos, this time manzanillo has a distinctly more mexican, if not aztec vibe. the original mix kicks off with steady galloping horse like drums and percussion, which is suddenly met by a lovely melodic bassline, which again is doubled up with what sounds like a xylophone. just as your wondering where its all going, a wicked little riff with delayed minimal vocal slices enter the mix keeping the groove going on and on forever and ever... another brilliant and quality piece of music from jackie misfit

>general motors, detroit, america< is the first offering to emerge from the mysterious parisian dance duo, acid washed. the influence of chicago and detroit techno lingers on the backseat in this six-minute joy-ride of sprawling atmospheric electronica. on the flipside, snake amply showcases a different, more collaborative side to acid washed. berlin based newcomer, barbara panther, catches the eye with a sultry vocal performance with a sting in the tail. equally adept at providing softness, her dynamism shimmers alongside the deft production. as per usual, record makers have assembled a stellar remix package. put in the hands of blackstrobe, the measured quality of general motors, detroit, america finds itself infused with a tension that thrills and flickers with a brooding energy that belongs on the dancefloor. gavin russom (dfa) calms the restless pulse at the heart of snake, evoking the aztec spirit of dj rolando before overdrawn arpeggiated solos are used to disrupt with pleasing effect.
