untolds pennyroyal imprint drops its fourth release in august, a four track ep from techno heavyweights ben sims and paul macs fokus group project entitled fokus group ep. started by the hemlock recordings man earlier in 2013, pennyroyal has so far released ballsy, uncompromising modern techno by j tijn and boner m and that musical remit continues with sims and macs hardcore fuelled, selftitled assault. nut nut, mucky crack funk, 93.2 and rave x3 = murder and the titles and they pretty much speak for themselves – there is a reckless abandon across all four cuts that musically gives off a distinct old school feel feel without getting bogged down in self conscious retro aesthetics.

been a long time since we ve heard anything out of miami like this! producer greg beato follows up his blazing ep for funkineven s apron records with another killer three tracker....serious shit, 100% tip!beato somehow just knows how to get it right combining all the crucial electronic elements, creating three absolutely monsterous tracks that will crush the dancefloor. sure it s been said before, but the music does the talking and this ep is a pure unharnessed example of such. guaranteed to be in every djs bag this summer. further proof it s game over for weak watered down dance music.

> cant wait<,is reminiscent of some of vonstrokes deeper classics while also pushing further into new territory. a sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. >cant wait< has fleeting moments of euphoria that are both surprising and uplifting especially for a summer open air crowd. coming up strong on the b-side, >the clapping track< shows us the fun side of vonstroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together - building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. this house anthem has already been destroying the dirtybird ibiza residency and summer festival circuit as well.

midnight moves. thats what comes to mind when you listen to cale parks s n1, preferably at an hour long after dusk has settled around you in some beautiful, insomniac city. parks finds – or more aptly, seeks – beauty and grace in ambience and shadows. n1 starts as pure atmosphere – it feels at first like a sort of lovely sonic nothingness slowly taking form – before growing into the darkly lit, gorgeous moodscape it later becomes. a sensual bassline, a pulsing downbeat, a cinematic piano, strains of italo disco, and the sensation of breezing down a lightless road. if you could make sensuous shapes of the night – imagine kneading the dark itself – it might, at the very best, feel like this. the task of remixing parks s original is taken up by french duo paradis, who can otherwise be heard making music on tim sweeney s beats in space label. the paris-based producers shine a brightening light on parks s dusky creation, quickening its pulse and trading in its darkwave undercurrents for enlivening techno and house. theres an element of floating here – a dreaminess in the rhythms, an astral aspect to the keys beaming through the beats. and with the addition of vocals, sung in french – a pop finishing touch on a song that already feels like an earworm – the transformation is complete. this excellent introduction to cale parkss music is also his debut release on the hakt label.

part 3 of the emotional relish series sees robi insinnas work remixed by a quartet of british producers. death in vegas overseer richard fearless tackles >be loved< starting with an ethereal loop that builds on top of itself before the beat kicks in and the remix heads for the dark (leather) dancefloor. mr andy blake channels the collective spirits of the slits, the pop group and killing joke on his space echo laden remix of >adolescent sex< whilst weatherall acolyte scott fraser returns to the relish cause with a typically chugging rendition of >turning< that has found favour from croatia boat parties to the catwalks of paris s/s 2013 no less (check youtube for evidence). cosey club founder richard d clouston slows down the tempo for a brooding, mind bending take on >blue girls<.

r-zone is a new label launched by global darkness. who is involved isnt exactly a secret, those who feel so inclined can piece the information together quite easily. it is however irrelevant to the concept of r-zone, which would like to shift the focus away from namedropping and perception based on hype around individual artists and bring it back where it belongs, in the lap of the music.

a four-track ep, bemired and evil-eyed, but with room for arnaldo to breathe out and flex a little after his spooked, sparked contribution to blank slate 001. the opener is a dubwise bubbler, with spaced-out keys, free woodblocks, shuffling hi-hats and elastic 303 bass. atmosphere breached is more jazzy and messed-up, running funky organ through sizzling fx, syncopated handclaps and filtered groans. the flip is dancefloor-trained. our pick of the bunch, verano is in a dark, hissing, aqueous world of its own, chugging and stomping, with relentless tambourines, crunchy filtered tribal drums and detuned horns. heads down to close: lost voices and a 909 kick, chattering hi- hats and rattling percussion administer the licks.

arriving at a fourth midnight riot label compilation in little over a year is no mean feat from yam who?s production operation, and the key to their success lies in the diversity of sounds you can include within the overarching theme of nocturnal grooves.

part 2 concludes killawatts largest body of music to date, the opposing rhetoric ep, a 6 track opus of truly progressive uk underground sound that melds his influences from dubstep and techno with expansive, high-tension sound design. the eps second triplet of beats feature his most overtly techno-focussed sounds yet, expanding his horizons and dropping the pace down to 125bpm, and delivers punishing dancefloor rigidity and bass-immersed sonic force. on black air, killawatt threads tightly coiled syncopations above a grinding 4×4 structure, and delivers a near-cacophonic but ultimately heavy full-sensory overload. the flipside is divided between the churning swell of dark industrial aesthetics on art of discourse, and the moody permutations of reactive technique, where rippling melodic shimmers provide accentuation to its pounding sub-density.

3 tracks inside and outside the tradition of classical scores and synphonies usually divided into 4 times, where elements of the composition are back with a deep or shallow drama. the sounds of heavy techno and rough hardcore are slowed down in a minimalistic and environmental casing. atmosphere and climate are counterpointed by a vision and historical journey that fuses and confuses the machines with the meat: replaces and softs the sincopatic moments of time that is missing. bruit as a psychic disorder and a lack of physical stability, phonies as futile attempt at harmony and empathy.
