magic source is a project led by producer björn wagner (the mighty mocambos, bacao rhythm & steel band, mocambo records), who is renowned for creating an authentic and hard-hitting raw funk sound. following a few acclaimed single releases on favorite recordings over the past few years, the french label deeply wanted to collaborate further with the german combo, for a special and exclusive project bringing their music on new paths. this new project is a step towards a new style: analog-electronica, or so called cosmic-disco sound.

for their latest slice of saucer-eyed balearic perfection, leng records has looked to the north east of england for inspiration. lizards is a freshly minted project from newcastle-based twosome lee forster – better known as one third of balearic house combo last waltz, whose impressive releases have appeared on world unknown, futureboogie, endless flight and is it balearic? – and long-time friend james hadfield of nein records’ elizabeth collective.

a surprising collaboration between mannella and the uk technos bearer - blawan- that clearly establish a deep techno-space, where the quirky sounds are free to be developed and created. right from the very first second of the dark breeze, which spreads a fluid, echoing and fickle synth, we can hear those fuzzy noises that mannella loves to use. a perfect combo is given by the presence of intense drums, thorough pads and harped synths: a total head-trip that flows in the whole ep. then, with i know you are a cheerful air gain the upper hand, leading it to be theperfect dance floor track. even if is just the second release, its pretty explicit the aim that the label has come to play in music today.

second ep from dutch combo dilated pupils on mode of expression. a four track journey of different styles.

after acclaimed debut ep by raw ambassador, milan-based un.t.o. records presents marcello napoletano’s destroyed ass ep: a limited edition, four tracker combo of different tunes.
the a side delivers a techno track and a funkier one, both of which will take you on a boat trip into an infected swamp lost somewhere in southern italy. at the same time on the b side marcello’s voodoo ritual will take possession of your body with two full-house tracks. café nanà is a crazed drive of broken percussions “and vibrant field-recordings of cups and glasses banging together in a smoke-filled, sun-drenched, cafe” while waiting for my bass is a warehouse melter reminiscent of gene hunt’s rawest works.

gari romalis and lello di franco - dreamin for the uninitiated, our man gary romalis is the unsung master of detroit’s house and techno scene. having djed across the motor city’s top venues for the last three decades, gary is somewhat of a seminal figure for many of detroit’s djs currently at the forefront. following a slew of high quality releases on various labels over the past few years, gary now unleashes that special flavour on us for skylax 142! he is not alone though. with him, he brings all round italian partymaker, and top selector in his own right, lello di franco. let me tell you, this duo’s collaboration is something to behold. throughout all 3 tracks on the record, gary and lello maintain the essence of what the detroit underground is all about, stripped back tracks with soul that never feel like they go ‘big’ for the sake of it. while dreamin (wanda mix) may be packing a big kick and power clap combo, it’s the elegantly filtered, jazzy sample that will leave you wishing that the track lasted forever. the vibe takes a dip right into the deep in detroit underground (beat dat mix). spacious pad synths alongside a mesmeric vocal carry us through. taking a step back up, afrobeat rounds off the ep, made with a solid toolkit of afro-centric samples.

the last untitled future times white label release arrived in 2012, a record that we now know, thanks to the eagle-eyed searchers of discogs, featured a hunee edit of re-mida by don carlos. we dont know what kind of material features on this new untitled release from the label, but the bumping hip house rhythm and vocal combo and lush 80s analogue bassline suggests some kind of vintage material has gone under the knife to create this track. regardless, this one-sided 12inch is another essential cut from the dc-based operation.

what happens when you take a track by a british power trio heavily influenced by blues and psychedelia, and get a master of wayward, left-of-centre balearica to remix it? that’s the premise behind claremont 56’s latest vinyl outing, which features magic feet recordings boss craig bratley delivering a pair of druggy, spaced-out interpretations of “better man”, one of the more laidback outings from fast-rising rock combo bella figura.

atjazz on local talk! pretty good combo right? well, just wait until you hear fox tooth and we re quite sure you ll agree with us that this is something above normal rank. martin iveson aka atjazz gave us a release that will work just as well on big sound systems as well as in those dark house basements. the original version is an electronic house jam that s equipped with all necessary tools in order to peak in the main room but without all the played out tech-house schemes. it s uplifting yet dark and carves a very personal groove - yum ! oh, don t miss the killer break down...big! the second version comes in the form of his inspired atjazz galaxy aart dub and this to be fair is more of a remix than a dub. here we step straight down to the darkness for a warming deep house cut that sounds like something from the prescription archives but still retaining the trademark atjazz sound. this is simply, sophisticated house music for those who like things real.
