at long last, night slugs drop a ep from the labels co-founder bok bok. representing his full gamut of influences as well as his labels hypercolour, bottom-heavy, club-ready aesthetic, the southside ep is an extend manifesto of a release for the south london dj / producer.
the three tracks on the 12 inch share a core sound palette, one that merges raw and convulsive acid house with functionalist 8-bar grime: the warm sound of vintage drum machines and analog bass combined with the razor-sharp, dystopian digital dread of noxious sawtooths and gliding squares.

onwards and upwards for the section8 clan as they get ready to deliver possibly their biggest release to date with a mighty, thunderous dubstep assault from one of bristols brightest up & coming production duos, dodge & fuski. having built up quite a reputation already with some killer releases on labels such as never say die and rat, this one looks set to earn them even more attention, get ready for the sound system bangers! ethereal pads open up aerophobia before an epic, grandiose synth enters the mix to set the scene for whats to come and youd better be ready because its quite simply, sick! watch the dance go crazy as we kick into an absolutley heinous bass riff that grabs by the throat and doesnt let go with a smashing break holding it all together. it only goes on to get even better with a totally funked up 4/4 switch up too! more bassline manipulation ensues and the dubstep break returns to complete whats sure to be a massive club anthem. a lot of fun. onto the flip and the tranced-out intro vibe continues with another awe-inpsiring arrangement of twinkling synths and fx on fuckem all. though the ravers are gonna love it and thats really what this is all about. bangin!

in less than two years, sardinias alessio mereu has made quantum leaps in his dj/production career: after releasing an impressive string of eps for respected labels like contexterrior, tuning spork and cmyk, many top-name djs took notice, including dubfire and duke dumont (who picked some of mereus tracks for their respective cocoon and fabric mix cd compilations). in early 2010, he set up amam, which has quickly become one of the most popular techno/house imprints in italy, and as savvy dance music enthusiasts are catching on, throughout europe as a whole. earlier this year, his increasing international presence led to his debut berlin dj appearance at arena club to headline an amam label night…

from the murky manchester backstreets, the el diablos social club main man neil diablo (aka the midnight chopper alongside cohort mr masters) stalks his balearic-rock prey with a sharp eye for a groove and a keen sense of razor sharp riffing! on this outing they turn their attention away from the over-subscribed disco edit scene, instead focusing on something a bit more bearded, a bit more rock.
the first chop is the deepest ...

fresh from the release of his stunning third album, >inner space break free< on the magic + dreams label, the unique and acclaimed live performer, bass clef delivers an anthemic summer 12 inch for the punch drunk label. an integral piece of bristols musical jigsaw, bass clefs live shows and dj sets have wowed the city for years. his punch drunk 12 inch debut is long over due. rollercoasters of the hearts euphoria fuelled piano refrain combines with dub echoed beats and rolling, ground shaking bass before delving deep into acid bliss, juxtaposing the darker, melancholic yet tough and club ready so cruel on the other side. if you get a chance to catch bass clef live, you wont regret it!

hotflush presents its fifth release from rising producer sigha. this ep continues his progression into subterranean techno hauntings. since his debut on the imprint in early 2009, sigha has accumulated support from djs across the electronic sphere such as francois k, brendon moeller, marcel dettmann, ben klock, peter van hoesen, james ruskin, and many others. with this release he takes a more direct approach that maintains the cavernous atmosphere and spatial tension of his previous work on hotflush and his own label our circula sound, resulting in a collection of club tracks that evolve and sizzle with burning tenacity, ultimately bursting into the beatless closer that echoes about in an otherworldly space.

from the very start, track one the first thirteen minutes of love opens the album with over ten minutes of ambient unlike anything you’ve heard in years, a long, elegiac composition somewhere between carl craig and the chill-out zone at a bygone rave. it’s a warning: take a deep breath before being swept away by eight tracks that span detroit and berlin, front 242 and carl craig, linking them via soaring trance, carefully-crafted minimal, the sound of the 90s, the sound of the new millennium. it’s hard to imagine the strike force and heart pangs it will inevitably inflict on any club in the know

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

>going on< from geeks & gaz is a deep 140bpm roller with rich synth swells and grainy disembodied vocals which lend a washed-out melancholy air, while a limber 2step house rhythm propels a truly transporting five minutes of eyes-closed burial-esque low end groove, making for a track that will hit equal targets on the dancefloor and in the headphones. daily delivers >untitled<, an old-school uk garage-inspired track which comes to life with a slow rising synth line underpinned by a sparse beat, before breaking brightly open into a scene of high pitched buzzing keys and some seriously complex percussive intricacies, rapid on the conga skins and hard down on the blunted kick drum. for further triple-win value, hype west london producer jack dixon offers a jaw-dropping refix of >going on<, massaging the original into a sensuously twisted uk funky / garage hybrid shape, introducing dramatic synth lines, hypnotic vocal stabs, and a hightened detail in the beat programming which somehow increases the tunes club-tooled precision while simultaneously enhancing its wistful and reflective mood.
