the lost in time imprint has been releasing bespoke vinyl for a couple of years now. it got off to a flying start with the moment from ralph lawson & chez damier and kept up the pace with a series of releases from ralph lawson alongside production partner tuccillo including nightcrawler. the track has now been picked up and remixed by denmark’s finest house music export from oscillat and delaphine records, s.a.m and one records subb-an. s.a.m is fast becoming one of the very best producers of house and dub techno with a string of highly sought after releases on delaphine that sell out quickly and attract heat on discogs. s.a.m manages to fuse classic craftsmanship with contemporary sounds and has created an epic and atmospheric 10 minute long re-shape for ‘nightcrawler’. subb-an needs little introduction as a producer with high integrity and impeccable taste. he’s graced the decks at panorama bar, fabric, detroit movement, womb tokyo, enter, dc10, d’edge and of course the legendary below parties. while hes always been busy in the studio with releases for spectral, crosstown rebels and 2020vision. subb-an strips down nightcrawler to its very bones drawing out the classic analogue kurzweil 2000 synth sound to great effect. another chapter in the lost in time series.

fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history

up first on the ep comes splendid -copper-. a pure 909 detroit funky work out and a dancefloor-filler at its best. with his name kind of a bow to the originators and the vinyl history. waiting for the drop business. the second tune -memories- is harder and darker. it comes with a huge atmosphere. you can see a dark room with just a strobe and fog in front of you. last one is the title track -akira-. its more experimental with a broken beat and a vibe which feels like a walk through chernobyl. one for the heads.

played by ricardo villalobos -- bass culture welcomes another industry heavyweight to its roster of talent with this new release, which follows hot on the heels of the killer 50th release by mr. g. this latest release comes from long time friend of bass culture owner d julz and dutch techno hero steve rachmad. steve is renowned for his funky take on techno, honing his skills as a dj and producer over 25 years and establishing himself as a respected and hugely talented artist in the process. the first of two tracks on this new ep is entitled * sabre song* - a stomping, illuminating cut straight out of the rachmad school of detroit-influenced techno. d julz heard steve play the track at womb in tokyo and had to sign it on the spot. *sabre song* is a perfect fit for bass culture with its groovy bassline, cutting hats and * big band* instrumentation. on the flip d julz himself contributes an edit of one of steves nineties classic, a favourite of his and one which both men agreed should be given a release. pumping out at a speedy tempo, the force is strong with * activa*, transporting us back to the rave era with its catchy melody, and retro physique. summer vibes all the way with this one.

bastinov is back on etruria beat with his new space programmer ep the main title starts with an hypnotic synth sequence on a 909 based beat driving thru some drony sounds. cosmic comes next with fat arpeggios, driving the song with melancholic vibes. on the flip side roberto clementi takes the title track into darker zones with some distorted elements and drones. last comes regis, a detroit influence track which reminds you of the glory days of the motor city.

deepa & biris black crow records further expands its horizons with its seventh release, welcoming another new artist to the family following appearances by 2030, aril brihka, hakimonu, luke hess, rod, inland and markus suckut. the analog roland orchestras label debut follows the widely acclaimed 2030 ep and shares with it a widening of the labels sonic scope to once again showcase deepa & biris desire to reach beyond techno and explore ambient and cinematic musical textures. michal matlaks analog roland orchestra finds the poland born & berlin based producer in the conductor role among an array of classic electronic hardware, taking on the role of shaping & directing a free flowing sound that moves across genres, whether in a studio or live setting. his previous releases for labels including ornaments, rotary cocktail recordings and pastamusik have seen the project indulge in an array of sounds across the techno spectrum. aftermath ii is no different, moving from the classic roots techno sounds of plant and father detroit, through the dub excursion of urei dub, to the cinematic, boards of canada & tangerine dream-recalling pair her and aftermath. for those with a taste for electronic musics widescreen possibilities, taros arrival on the tel aviv imprint will be a long term favourite.

nice price deal !!! the development of the docile sound has evolved at its own pace over time. the assembly of sound is an intuitive process, and the acceptance of errors is a vital part of the docile working method. docile is a labor of love that takes a stand against mass produced music that an artist is well removed from. docile has a hands-on dedication to every part of the vinyl process to ensure what you get is a legitimate effort. team docile are craftsmen that use their collective skills to produce vinyl with a unique quality and sense of style. the over all sound of docile #20 can be described as soulfully dark, immature, and lovesick amid a funky party atmosphere. the personalities of each track nudge you to its direction with simple grooves that tell stories that are felt without words. these are tracks of moving detroit minimal that stutter, break and turn with a basic efficiency. tracks that share a dark irony in root, but somehow glitch towards a positive. docile looks inward for inspiration and describes its self in this revolving time and place.

after spending the majority of 2009 in hollywood, chanes briefly returned home to finish up songs for what would become his 2010 release, an experimentation in instrumentation. the 15-track tape, presented by house shoes, exposed us all to the nomadic 21-year-old producer from canton, michigan. chanes would spend the next two years working between home and brooklyn, before relocating to arizona, where he would release his follow up project, renegade hands, (insect records 2013). presented again by shoes, hands solidified chanes as one of the most promising young producers in the country.
fast-forward to 2016, and at 27, this self-titled debut takes us circa 2007 - 2009 with the soul-chopping salad days of his mother s basement, through the alternative sampling williamsburg, brooklyn sessions of 2010. if the melancholy desert psychedelia of his isolated four years in perpetual southwestern summer gives us a glimpse into his growing electronic influences, then the angst of his winter homecomings are hiding under the aggressive parka weather beats that first caught the attention of detroit’s underground.
fittingly, chanes’ debut lp comes full circle, finishing the album back in the place it all started and releasing it with long-time supporter house shoes and street corner music.

nice price deal !!! from the beginning, oktored has tried to keep himself away from the pigeonholing nature of the electronic dance scene. seamlessly blending early rave sounds with futuristic beats and melodies, he has really been coming into his own lately. from a young age, he has been into a multitude of different genres of music ranging from ambient to death metal. the next two releases will show just that. the first of which will be the more passive side of oktored.gemini 1 (or the good side) really brings together a feeling of old detroit style techno/house with some new moombahton flavour. the fact that he has been motivated by so many different styles and sounds becomes very apparent on tracks like relax and inéz, while he brings some real deep, future bass styling on the drifter. for fans of future sounds of 8 mile, this release will be a fantastic follow up ep. but that is only one side of our gemini friend. the follow up release, gemini 2 will showcase his darker, more aggressive side. delving into rough, uninhibited bass and beat tracks, oktored will begin to show just how deep his production can go

some more uncut diamonds by s4aw... robert nedelcu aka lecsicu from rural romania is only 26 but already a skillful and dedicated producer of oldschool-flavoured house music with a tek-edge. on top we ve got vocals by berinika van wyk a singer born in south africa. robert was inspired by guys like rick wade, mr. g, kerri chandler, and of course moodyman. his trademark are strong percussions, little harmonies every now and then and a “tracky” atmo to his tunes that sound very chicago-ish. all three original tunes are pure, vintage-style house music a little on the tech side. so this clearly is an ep for the dancefloor and for early morning sessions when the sun s coming up again... “route to 95” received a groundbreaking rework by detroit house music veteran gari romalis. with incredibly deep subbass sequencies he makes this tune a deep jam like you never heard one befor

following 2014’s ‘xure’ ep, dutch producer doka returns to format with a fresh four-track release including a remix by fellow techno luminaries twr72.carved out of no-nonsense techno grooves, the ep is another prima example of format’s trademark: bold, stripped-down techno designed for peak-time clubbing moments. the title track blends in classic detroit synths to powerful tresor-style grooves, after which twr72 give it a playfully experimental makeover. ‘lommer’ throws in a pitch-black cut that’s heavy on the bass while cleverly mixing in progressive house elements, while ‘dam’ closes things by adding a lovely hypnotic twist to this release’s content. there’s no denying: this eighth format release has all the ingredients to ignite some serious floor carnage…

for the 11th release 7777 presents the ghost miners remixes. for these remixes i offered each producer samples from different songs from the 2 ghost miners records. instead of doing straight forward remixes of a single song, i put forth the proposal for each artist to make their own version of a ghost miners song from scratch or using any samples they feel like. contributors include 3 of my favorite producers. 2 in demand artists, fit siegel and andreas gehm and one new comer, brian thrash. andreas gehm s version is a standard acid gehm gem. calling in the chords from the originals mixed with standard gehm acid brilliance. in fit siegel s version you ll find the perfect pure underground dance sound. featuring ray-7 on hand drums fit constructs a remix that combines elements of classic detroit and chicago sound while keeping the attitude and acid aesthetic of the original material. on the b side brian thrash, controlling his analogue arsenal, takes you on an epic acid journey traversing through the underground and space. thank you for your time. - jared wilson

his chicago-tinged-with-detroit blend of clean, yet warm and occasionally raw bumpin’ house tracks showcase a kaleidoscope of grooves backed by heavy-seated drum programming and glacial, almost-interspatial padwork.
