stanley anscorm has finished the follow-up to battle beyond the sun. you can expect two epic tracks on this nearly 30 minutes record. although the tracks are based on identical compositional material, they shine in very different color. the black side is of high density and impresses with remarkable bass figures which seems to grow on the fundamental principles of low frequencies. these figures are easily carrying loads of percussions and even an orchestral set of horns which does not seem to be from this world. the white side can be understand as a lighter interpretation of the same topic and it is thrill of its own to discover the intersections between the two tracks. sure, this music is nothing you listen to in an elevator - stanleys art demands attention, there is no doubt about this - but the reward you get if you listen or dance to it with an open heart is of a kind you might never come in contact with somewhere else.

robert burians new track orion fulfills this dual attraction. it is danceable, but still has chillout mood. bart claessen accelerates the tempo in his remix and adds more bass, this mix could definitely become a club stormer. viper has a little bit slower mood - but keeps your legs dancing still as hard anyway!!

laid out is swirling monster made up of the best elements of house music as we know it. a solid groove, tight production and beautiful melodies all work side by side to create a rather tasty musical mystery tour! a hazy bass line sits in the distance overrode by pads and melodies that build and build towards the shuffle percussion lead groove that is so infectious!!

4 tracker by fiend & deathmachine. both rinse out with one heavy hardcore track, and one heavy breaks/hardcore kinda track, drum & bass/breakcore influenced. fiend - hell is an absolute dancefloor burner, even as want to know. both other tracks offer a nice mixture between beats & breaks! quality ep

wagon repair are excited to announce the latest ep from berlin based canadian mike shannon. the re-nag ep, his third wagon repair release and first production of 2009, is the latest in a long line of releases from the head of cynosure records, with his work having previously graced imprints from ~scape and num to richie hawtin’s plus 8 records. opener ‘darkstar 3000&#8242,, is a futurist techno stomp. engined by poked melodic tones and a prominent metallic hat, dissonant stealth melodies manoeuvre around percussion and punched bass. biding time to prolong suspense, both bass and key melodic journeys coordinate to climax in a tightly executed sensory assault. ‘sweets (tla mix)’ opens energetically with static percussive tones circling around a pummeling kick. a rapturous vocal takes lead, effervescing within a wind tunnel of wobbly bass melodies and dizzy pads to close. ‘sweets (acapella)’ is an abstract entity, with it’s sole vocal discernibly haunting in the absence of beats and structure. full of texture and space, this is one for the producers that will surely not go to waste.

forward strategy group follow up their seriously killer debut 12inch release >transect< with another fresh slab of monolithic, bass heavy techno entitled: >applied generics<. with support from surgeon, ben sims, marcel heese (tresor), samuli kemppi (berghain), grovskopa (token, audio assault) ++ applied generics has already booted a sizeable hole in the ceiling @ clubs worldwide. this new release was featured as part of ben sims and surgeons frequency 7 set on mary anne hobbs radio 1 show and as part of surgeons resident advisor podcast. the first offering is a skanking slice of techno with a shuffled re-sequenced edge delivering a cortex scrambling mess of barbed wire sounds wrapped around a linear, tracky beatstructure. this is a unique cut with a very distinct sound somewhere between berlin minimalism and dark wave uk techno. on the flip deep rumbling textures, ghostly tones and spectral, metalic chords lie in wait on the second offering, which takes on a more berlin influenced deep style pitching it somewhere in between basic channel and sandwell district. big

london s idjut boys (dan tyler & conrad mcconnell) and rune lindbaek of oslo are meanderthals. as longtime friends and fans of each other’s music they have discussed the idea of working together in a musical context for years and in 2008, they finally began to make those ideas a reality. throughout the year they traveled back and forth between oslo and london to create their debut album, desire lines. the album is due the 11th of may. but before that, this 12&#8243,,, taster of the andromeda (album track) as well as a idjut boys remix) a meanderthal is a theory by matthew tiessen about a human that is always in the way of others. whether it be the person on the wrong side of the escalator, the person walking slowly, the person bicycling on the pavement, it is essentially the person that stops the flow of urban daily life. on the contrary, lindbaek, tyler and mcconnell s definition does not see this person as a threat, but as a person that is completely in his own world – a slacker, musically on his own. this could also be a good description of lindbaek and the two idjut boys. meanderthals serves mellow balearic disco. a warm and dreamy blend of dub, folk, prog, kraut, psychedelia and 70s west-coast combined to invent an organic, slanted, and proggy feel. recorded live, the album features contributions from good friends, including pete z (dj harvey) on keyboards, des morgan (yamwho?) on drums and percussion, malcolm jospeh (grace jones) on bass, per martinsen (aka mental overdrive) on percussion and raj gupta (laj & quakerman) as sound engineer
