elastic dreams, a new label for 2011, bringing out no-hype, no bullshit, deep and warm electronics. music for the mind, as well as the feet, expect to hear techno, ambient, new-beat and other frequencies over coming releases with music coming from nyra, skudge, md2 and a sagittariun. debut release here from a sagittariun, with remixes from md2 aka mike dehnert. a sagittariun looks up to the constellations to bring the first release on elastic dreams the circle stops somewhere is a simple groove with a sweet and melodious synth riff that comes alive throughout the track, some have made comparisions to ames classic rej, whilst not really in that league, circle maintains the dynamic pace with powerful 909 patterns whilst keeping a nice warm analogue vibe. telepathic heights is a brooding, percussive experience with a growling bass riff and enveloping keys with sci-fi elements to its composition. md2 (aka mike dehnert/fachwerk) comes good on the remixes on the flip side. his mello mix is a disjointed and muscular groove that rips apart the original synth riff, and bends and warps it over solid md2 beats to make a real low-slung funky workout. md2s hard mix does what it says on the tin, a relentless bass booming groove and spongy use of the originals samples, this is md2 at his very best!

more leftfield techno sounds from one of the scenes more unassuming producers, a sagittariun delivers a new single stamped with his trademark sound aesthetic. the ‘fahrenheit 451 ep brings together three new productions in lieu of a new album coming later in the year. the golden apple brings together brain scrambling drums, a heavy hoover bassline, and a typically sagi style wormhole riff, whilst blue lotus throws tropical shapes around the broken beats that flourish into a rapid 4/4 stomper, with scattering hats and equatorial ambience giving a unique vibe. a sagittariun strays into disco territory on liebe tanzen, flitting between modern intergalactic synth riffs & basslines, and sampled disco drums. hand stamped 12 vinyl, limited to 150 copies - global pr and marketing campaign from hype filter re-moulded, 25 years after it was produced, for release on his elastic dreams label.

with a brimming catalogue of music that operates in the more adventurous quarters of the techno music genre, a sagittariun preps his first release of 2018, with a remix disc of one the holy grail of tracks from one of the most endearing electronic acts of the 1990s. the sabres of paradise, aka andrew weatherall, gary burns and jagz kooner, released a clutch of acclaimed albums, singles and remixes between the years 1992 and 1995, when the trio disbanded. three albums for warp, remixes of the future sound of london, leftfield & lydon, bjork, new order and the dust brothers (aka chemical brothers), and not forgetting the now legendary smokebelch ii single, which must have soundtracked hundreds of thousands of sunsets and chillout after hours over the years, have left a huge treasure trove of a catalogue as part of their legacy. one production though has gone down in sabres folklore, since its release was limited to inclusion on one multi artist compilation cd album only, and it is this track, lick wid nit wit, that a sagittariun has unearthed, licensed and re-moulded, 25 years after it was produced, for release on his elastic dreams label.

fresh from his ævanishing point single on uk label hypercolour, which saw the lead track hit the beatport leftfield house & techno sales chart at #1 for four weeks, a sagittariun is back on his elastic dreams label with the æslightly ajar ep. as always, a sagittariun brings an eclectic melting pot of flavours to each of his eps, blending detroit techno, ambient house, highly charged electro, dramatic synths and transcendental vibes.

it is our distinct honor and pleasure to welcome todd osborn to the argot family with his stunning new single, elastic 68. this double a sider came together over the last three years thanks to regular communication between the michigan-based savant and label founder steve mizek. its two tracks exemplify argot’s musical direction and check a major item off the label’s bucket list of releasing a record by todd. with nearly mythical finesse, the title track finds osborn presides over a marriage of sassy, gleaming motifs and invigorating acid lines. its assertive bass line grabs dancers by the scruff before the unleashing a torrent of churning acid riffs that could stir even the most jaded chin-scratcher. “authorized dealer” is tougher and even more acid-forward, stomping and squelching as it drags the dancefloor into the dungeon for beating it won’t soon forget. supported by kornel kovacs, midland, xxxy - releases on running back, ghostly/spectral sound, 7777

singular records is very happy to welcome rich jones aka operator for this new release, the sing-r 8. energy is the word that comes to my mind for this one, its an ep full of intensity, perfectly produced and dosed, crafted for the floor, that allies quality and efficiency, with a full range of sonorities.

since its launch at the end of last year, bristols elastic dreams has been making a name for itself with its own take on the underground sound of house, techno & electronica. at the heart of that success has been the music of label boss a sagittariun, whose previous singles the circle stops somewhere & carina have received critical acclaim and support from key djs such as francois k, ripperton, huxley & lawrence to name just a few. now the elusive head honcho is back with a new ep, born under 22 stars featuring 3 new cuts.
