one of the stand out tracks from hardsouls forthcoming d fused & digital compilation, self religion (believe in me) further demonstrates the dutch duos talents extend well beyond the dj booth and threatens to be as big as the rest of their back catalogue. mark knights mix takes the package techy and delivers a mix thats bound to get abused in those late night sets. mr penn does the business with his trademark keys, ripping it apart with that classic house sound we ve come to know and love. this is a battle weapon thats not to be missed!

avalon emerson’s latest ep, narcissus in retrograde, explores four different styles that shape her distinct voice as a producer and songwriter, from symphonic showstoppers to broken acid. opener “natural impasse“ ferries massive melodic themes through a network of emotive capillaries that’s underpinned by charging drums, while “dystopian daddy“ dons a theatrical flare with costume-changing arpeggiators and digital brass beef that command attention like a stage-hogging space alien diva lip-syncing for new wig money. the b-side takes a more menacing turn with “why does it hurt“, the outright techno achievement of the record, and the snarling closer “groundwater“. ethereal vocals on the former punctuate kicks and growls that sound like they were pulled from a pedal monster’s electric guitar, and on “groundwater“, a crucible of fucked breaks and acid cut a ravine through a bed of off-staccato hats and a sample swamp.
