german producer erdbeerschnitzel is the next to get the nod for the house focused delsin series with a new three track ep, cushion. the man born tim keiling has been forever hard to pin down, with releases that take in techno, disco and deep house on labels like mirau and 4lux. this new ep is no different

wonderful remastered reissue of nancy martins >cant believe<, a deep italo/proto house cut from back in 1982 recorded by canadian producer domenic sciullo. featuring an awesome phat analogue italo-style bassline, great sexy vocals and an irresistible chugging groove that gets the floor bouncing, it became an anthem in the underground clubs of chicago, championed by the likes of frankie knuckles and ron hardy. released here on the original neige records label which features the full length long version of this killer and also the highly useful instrumental version. essential

a song dedicated to his wife and their marriage. the song contains so much captured emotions. from shimmering synths and old school orchestra hits to a solid walking bass line that solidifies the love for the dance floor. on the dub mix, santiago stripped the track down for a big sound system leaving a heavy bass line and strings throughout the track. esteban adame presents guaguanco. i wrote this track while playing with g2g and mike banks was always pushing us to electrify your roots. though my family is not cuban, cuban music has been a huge part of my musical development as a musician. the track uses traditional cuban rumba rhythms (guaguanco) to trigger synths and percussion samples alike to create a dense polyrhythmic cushion for the track to sit on.

music for dreams is proud to announce the new album by danish legend dub tractor. one of the founding fathers of electronica in denmark in the early 90s, anders remmer has remained a reluc-tant beacon of copenhagen’s scene ever since, with his musical legacy still a work in progress. as well as being a member of future 3, remmer has released material under a number of different aliases, but his most frequent guise dating back to 1994 has been dub tractor. under this name, he gently crafts complex yet warm and organic electronic music that flirts with ambient, dub and idm. with “hello ambient wash”, the first dub tractor album since 2009, remmer explores further the possibilities of dub tractor after the more pop-oriented & shoegaze-flavoured approach of his last album -sorry-. in addition to new material, the second half of “hello ambient wash” presents a ret-rospective of hand-picked tracks from his first three albums on flex records (the label which music for dreams founder kenneth bager ran with ole mortensen from 1994 to 2007). ... bonus info: nils frahm is a fan.

things have been heating up on lee burridge’s smouldering get weird label in the last year. picking up serious momentum with a consistent flow dispatches from the likes of dance spirit, hauy, superlounge, tim green and more, each release has been a startling jolt from the all-too-comfortable road-middle into more diverse, uncharted pastures deep in the sweet spot between house, techno and electronica. this next release from brand new artist kaled is certainly no exception. get weird? get to know… tunisian kaled shows depth, range and rudiments beyond his early-man status. a deep musical spirit with a penchant for poignancy, taste for theatre and strong sense of restraint, there’s a timeless evocative feel running throughout each of these three unhurried, subtly-orchestrated gems. ‘the field & the sun’ sets the scene, a palpitating progressive beat is laced with strident string strikes that build layer upon layer, creating a cushion for a goosebump-inducing late-entering piano line. ‘nemo’, meanwhile, finds itself in the midst of another swooning set of strings. ignited by a percussive pebbledash and leading with the distinctive middle eastern instrumentation, the backbone is maintained by a devilishly simple and hypnotic synth riff that holds everything together

beautifully designed lp on 180g vinyl! just waking up and everything sounding slower. holes in the wall. the unknown in the familiar. the shock of the new. just-turned rubble. thick clouds of recall. muted high-life, de-centered hip-hop, and disparate conversation. heavy, sinking jazz and dissected infomercials. too much chewing gum? not quite anything, or half of something. reminds me of. smells like? turkson side is africanus okokons first album. it is almost entirely sample-based, made largely within a simple, custom-made playback software with each track recorded in one take with very little editing

frankfurts label embi music calls on the inimitable talents of italian marco cassanelli, who really delivers on the 4-tracker that is the adub ep. a smart and atmospheric minimal jaunt, the original takes the breadth away thanks to its unrelenting persuasion and its penchant for the unpredictable. cushion is another spiky, metallic number whereby the ambiance plays another key role, while fluxion s remix of adub is full of weighty low-end signals and intricate synth work

after last years album *love & devotion* the husband and wife duo of mike paradinas and lara rix-martin follow up with *weird drift*. the album shows just how much their ability to write confident and thoughtful pop songs has developed, while still being able to retain the sleepy cushion of steamy synth pop that made the first record so rewarding to listen to. this time album features the vocals of a vezelay, a.k.a. french singer and producer matthieu le berre, who brings a gentle poised falsetto to the duos productions along with a delicate but hopeful angst. the vinyl lp comes with download code for the full album.
