for a brief moment turin was italys sheffield, producing an astonishing number of diy electronic groups. in the context of a wider europe, italy has never been thought of as a hotbed of minimal electronic music, but mannequin records compilations danza meccanica: italian synth wave 1982-1987 have shone a light on a scene little heard, even within italys borders. but the history was still incomplete ... some new horizons now must be unveiled, showing that between the years of 1982 and 1984, the city of turin in northwest italy was home to a quiet underground renaissance of experimental electronic music.

allnite music 002 brings alex agore with some of his best works so far. both *basement jam* and *be someone* tracks strikes right the middle of the target, somehow between his earlier 4lux works and his no matter what hot dancefloor stuff. on b side, apoena presents two grooved house tracks with jazz sounding keys cut directly from vinyl. just a killer 4-tracker!

the occasional (but always excellent) street edits series returns, this time with a trio of high-grade scalpel works from chicago re-edit hero rahaan. as usual, the source material is dusty and obscure, and the reworks revelatory. -city of disco- is in many ways typical of rahaan s work, with carefully cuts and loops being used to create a thumping, house style groove (admittedly one that pays due reverence to the source material). there s more of a celebratory, soulful feel about the impeccable -strung out-, which turns a little-known disco-soul gem into a huggable dancefloor classic. best of all, though, is -brighten you up-, which sits somewhere between later electrofunk and early house, a proto-proto gem, perhaps. either way, it s a killer.

having previously kept their re-edit series in-house, leeds-based crate-diggers joe s bakery have invited moton (aka london veterans diesel and dave jarvis) to deliver the latest release. those who ve followed the moton records inc series (active since the 90s) will know what to expect: expert re-rubs of obscure material that get the right balance between dancefloor chops and home listening selections. look out for the odd shuffle and electric piano solos of -moody blues-, the percussive early 80s, synth-heavy live disco brilliance of -zoo- (yes, it s definitely balearic) and the hazy, midtempo disco-funk of -bumps-. it s getting progressively hard to find worthwhile re-edit 12- singles, but this one s a genuine killer

resopal schallware first vinyl release in 2015 returns to the fore with none other than roar, purveyors of masterfully-crafted rhythm études and member of the south-of france vibrant house scene. with o pi ohm ep, the two producers bring their first ep to the resopal imprint. with roars ability to maneuver between true school grooves, malicious house, sick synthie lines and relaxed romanticism the three tracks are ornamented with their very own mark.

ecstatic welcomes l/f/d/m to the fold with his debut record m is a shape. l/f/d/m is london based producer richard smith. l/f/d/m first emerged in 2013, inaugurating the optimo trax series with the purple maps ep. in 2014 he teamed up with factory floors dominic butler to release two eps of hardware-driven atonal techno on powells diagonal records. m is a shape bristles with cloudy, industrial, stripped down acid/techno, landing somewhere between berghain, the warehouse sound of the late 90s and the caustic spirit of ebm.

former padded cell and bronx dogs man richard sen has made some great records in his time, and songs of pressure is up there with the best of them. joining the dots between murky dub disco, horror soundtracks and ebm, it layers spooky, delay-laden synthesizer motifs and wonky vocal samples atop a heavy dub rhythm and punchy machine drums. pals andrew weatherall and timothy j fairplay deliver a bongo-laden, dubbed-out revision (part wayward exotica, part humid balearic dub), while acca strips the track down to its nare bones for a ket-addled dub. its a fantastic 12inch, and limited to just 99 copies. you snooze, you lose.

neustadtmusik, with great pleasure, presents two excellent new tracks. dietrich & strolch have created an exquisite, smooth piece of music. the two brothers, who are known for their live sets that take their audience on a journey, have combined their passion for percussions and wicked synth sound perfectly. this track takes you to a deep underground techno dance floor where you find yourself dancing with your eyes closed and drifting away into another dimension, to the ocean, the sun and warm sand between your feet and back. sous sol s track on this release has it all, including a sense of delight that brings out a smile on your face. the rolling bass line brings in mind the siberian express rolling through the cold winter landscape of russia while at the same time there is warmth and the heart gets filled with these warm elements. this rolls parallel to a consistent build up throughout the whole track that makes this composition just perfect.

the fat white family need no introduction and ez-ra & lamik are one half of decius… decius is a collaboration between acid house superstars paranoid london, ez-ra & lamik and lias saoudi the vocalist from the fat white family. their first release 3 months ago *come to me villa / gay futures* was described by ivan smagghe as *the best record of 2014* and is currently still at number 4 in the clone top 10. keeping it in the family, ez-ra & lamik have reworked two of their favourite fat white family tracks, it just seemed rude not to.

the enigma that is black swan has emerged from the shadows to deliver its second work. awash with chilling ambience, found sounds and haunting samples, the quiet divide reins in the phantasmagoria, examining the blurred in-between, the darkness that lies at the divide. creeping ever so slowly out of the confined spaces of its previous work, in 8 movements, black swan moves further into the crevice, mining territory unbefitting to most composers. upon surfacing from the muck and grime, the resulting work is disquieting and poignant, exposing the listener to the inner workings of the desolate in hope that they will never have to plunge themselves into it.

adam beyer has been showing us the extent of his versatility for years and this ep solidly cements the idea that beyer can confidently swing between genres and keep up his consistently high standards within electronic music. youre the same is a remarkable piece of work and keeps the tech house bods moving and shaking. all the tracks on this three-part stunner are chunky, solid grooves, that are infused with dashes of techno, house and dub. vocal snippets are used to create some spine tingling hooks as well as moody pads to create eerie atmospheres. valium & lfos has already built up quite a following courtesy of its inclusion in beyers landmark amnesia terrace set for cocoon that was later broadcast as part of his drumcode live radio show. it has also been a mainstay in richie hawtins sets along with other accomplished djs including the likes of joseph capriati. a well accomplished single from the swede.

deep, electronic music. the hazy, blurred overlap between techno and ambient, the dubby fringes of deep house and melancholy bass music or the closing gap which separates drum and bass from dub-techno, its all within our brightest dark place.

bristols facta and hodge are a pair of rising young producers who, more than most, have absorbed the influence of tempas early music and wielded it to create something defiantly their own. hodge has been on a powerful run of form over the last two years, with a string of acclaimed 12 inches for livity sound, idle hands and hotline striking a unique balance between brutalist sub-bass muscle and vortex-like whirls of voice and percussion. factas releases for soundman chronicles and idle hands have been equally striking - dark, hypnotic and dread-filled rollers for the moodiest of dancefloors. you can hear both producers approaches vying for attention on this collaborative 12 inch, and the resulting tension turns the atmosphere electric.

visonia returns with the anticipated debut album release entitled, impossible romance. commencing with juana de arco, which edges finely the fragile border between expectant angst and hopeful optimism, this opening piece pretty much sets the tone for the album. undulating between the highs and lows of human emotion which beautifully encompasses visonias own conception of art to hold hands and contribute to humanity to give beauty, wisdom, or to simply open the listeners mind in order to reflect and ask questions of ones own self, ones own existence what we have here is at times a poetic soundscape of emotions, feelings, fears and positive expression. the album, in its double vinyl format includes the previously available collaboration with dopplereffekt, namely die reisen, alongside an equally striking collab with new wave/synth pop artist, mad moizel in the form of beat frequencies and late addition to the album – the sleek, driving vision of between lies and real looks

interesting collaborative release between powerhouse labels mos deep and creme

few projects in electronic music have remained at the very cutting edge for as long as reagenz, a collaboration between san francisco based jonah sharp and heidelberg based david moufang (move d). now, twenty years after their first project, comes * the periodic table*, a live album captured at the bunker new yorks tenth anniversary party at public assembly, brooklyn, in january 2013. tip!...

four youths are exploring unused buildings in a warehouse district when they stumble upon a lone wire running between the buildings. they follow along as it snakes between walls and under gates until they find it connected to a set of speakers.

uncanny valley and permanent vacation are joining forces for an uncanny vacation! there has always been a lively exchange between dresden and munich and both labels are known for releasing a wide variety of music so it was only natural to team up for a joint release. the record starts off with permanent vacation-regular and uk-veteran dmx krew and his “astro logical” which is as sharp and crisp as electro can go. the bass line strikes hard but he also squeezes some great melancholic synth lines out of his machines. after that, uncanny valley’s sandrow m finally gives access to the much in demand live version of “prayervan”, a tune that everybody has been singing along during his live sets. on the flipside, jacob korn (who already released on both labels) hands in “eieiei” which rises on a percussion-heavy drum basement to a discoid house stomper thanks to an irresistible sample straight from an obscure flea market find. last but not least, drvg cvltvre from the netherlands delivers a tropical house jam. “see you again” is riding on a funky disco bass line and creates a warm and cosy atmosphere with a whole bag of sound ideas. alexander dorn aka credit 00 adds his graphical talents to the record’s sleeve with a brilliant tribute to 1990s adventure video games.

if youre going to launch a label, it pays to hit the ground running with your first release. thats exactly what the people behind falstaff have done with this impressive debut. it features tracks from longtime pals max d and hashman deejay. the formers track, shoegaze, continues the washington d.c producers recent trend of delivering tracks that defy easy categorization. this one is a blend of ghetto-tech, deep house and dreamy chords, with cut-up samples of various descriptions riding an urgent groove. hashman deejays samba is a little more orthodox, sitting somewhere between deep detroit techno and humid samba house. its a thing of rare beauty.

long established detroit talent keith worthy traverses a fine line between deep, bumpy house and raw techno on his debut double album, the price of non-conformance. t.p.o.n.c. is a conceptual project that takes you on a virtual walk through the streets of detroit. from a musical standpoint, the sound and feel of t.p.o.n.c. aligns with worthy’s own dna, a complex blend of house and techno, and all while incorporating a degree of fantasy into every composition. always striving to create his own path, and never allowing everyone else’s “norm” to become his influence, worthy really excels in this long player format. in total, t.p.o.n.c. consists of 14 tracks (including 8 songs and 6 interludes) all crafted to convey a vision of what non-conformance looks and sounds like. t.p.o.n.c. has range, from the boom-bap of the drums to the unorthodox patterns and key structures, this project evokes a sense of individualism that often gets lost in todays modern world of musical proliferation. in true detroit fashion, and in tandem with the spirit of aesthetic audios own mantra, t.p.o.n.c. maintains, the rule is there are no rules.

365 million years ago a meteorite crashed with tremendous force in the middle of a land mass that much later would be called sweden, creating one of her largest lakes. the area around this lake, siljan, has always been an epicenter of swedish folklore, with many tales of beautiful but dangerous creatures of the ancient forests and deep vales. perhaps, then, it s no coincidence that the skies over siljan later became the focus of unexplainable sightings, or that small societies appeared, claiming strong indications of extraterrestrial activities on the bottom of the lake itself. the tales may change over time, but the mysterious lake remains the same. and now the time has come for a new tale from siljan. producer colleagues hans berg and johanna knutsson have spent long periods of time in a studio by this lake. feeling a bit like aliens themselves with their blinking and bleeping music machines, the label name ufo station recordings came naturally. little raver ep is the first release, and throughout the three tracks you can clearly sense the contrast between the scenic landscape and sounds inspired by space and alien technology: shimmering ethereal melodies over classic, very fulfilling drum machines. the melancholic singing of space whales over deep and bubbly analog basses. the little raver ep is a house music ufo destined to arouse wonder and astonishment on any dance floor.
