organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …

helium robots is ewan wilmott. up until now with only two (albeit brilliant!) dissident releases under his belt - and an album on the horizon - he might have been under most peoples radar.a pity! the helium robots make imaginative factory-records-electro-balearic-disco, errr, and robot music. two tracks of that caliber are placed on the a-side. the flip has theo parrish laying his gifted hands on jarza to two different outcomes.>translation 1< is an up-to-date parrish space cadet trip, while the second take emphases the dark and typical theo magic in his roots house period.limited beautiful robot sleeve covers.the laws of robotics!

obsession is really the programmatic title of tobias olivers work of the last years. two years after his digital winter / summer release in 2009 and the human technology debut with his electro band datawelt, it is really a obsession of him, to bring out his first solo release on vinyl. if you listen to this record, you will be sure, that tobias oliver was born in a electro disco somewhere in this world. the analogy to the old school electro sound can not be ignored, when he reuses the drum and percussion sounds of well known drum machines of the past, combined with bass and synthlines, pads and strings of analog synthesizers from the past and the future - at the latest by then - you will think, that you are really out of space!

the >spectrum riff< ep comes from moscow based beat maker and full time firefighter alexander goryachev, otherwise known as 813. five original tracks bursting with juicy synth lines, retro drum machines and waves of thick sub bass, culminating in a sound that is one part boogie, one part hip hop, one part electro and three parts forward thinking bass music. slugabed (ninja tune) appears on remix duty with a drum heavy workout full of shuffling percussion, deep basslines and strong melodies. 813 has been operating in the much talked about russian beat scene for a couple of years, appearing on error broadcasts >fly russia< compilation and kicking off the rad collective label with the >back in space jungle< ep. he has another ep on rad dropping this year along with other projects and collaborations in the pipeline. as a live act he has supported moby, doom and hudson mohawke. the spectrum riff ep has been a long time in the making, its been worth the wait.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

nice collabos with argenis brito and pier bucci on the a-side and getting spiritual with damien vandesande (former dop member) on b2. pepe got those teasing latino vocals ... otra could deliver the soundtrack for a shaman session ... made for parties that last a lil longer. hope: classic floating electro. finally, sidharta: pentatonic electronic, ethio-bass-style. enjoy!

headmans be loved surfaces from relishs recent label round up compilation 3.the taught 808 foundation of the track is supplemented with heart swelling synth lines that unfold eventually into an upbeat electronic pop song repleat with live bass and swirling strings. vocal duties are supplied by rosie blair, known to some as vocalist for moon unit,and one half of the duo boy of girl with paul mogg (formerly of the psychonauts).the song steps a fine line between electro, synth pop and the electro/ acoustic dualism of wide boy awake.

the second release by berlin based knuggles recordings will be coming out in december. it features the previously unreleased original 12inch mix of 7107 music by netto houz. this hybrid of chicago deep house and oldschool electro caused some dancefloor action back in 1998, when it was originally released on ladomat 2000. on the flipside, knuggles recordings presents a new exciting producer: dj nikolaos aka moire patterns spins his track the roots anthems 001 (co-produced by dj kriton) into a modern and spherical growing deep house bomb. enjoy!

pocket is the snappy moniker of nyc based richard jankovich. as the principal creative mind behind the based electro-pop band burnside project he is not just well versed in top notch original productions but also is an indemand remixer (beck, radiohead, kristin hersh, of montreal, elk city, joanna newsom and many others). his debut release on tirk is the ever-so-tuneful >here in noiseville<. in this first single richard pairs up with steve kilbey from the australian rock band the church. steve adds his thoughtful and emotively melancholic vocal to the classic, quality synth-pop backing track. first up on the remix duties is sister-label nangs favourite german golden boy, justus köhncke. justus takes things on the dancefloor route, by adding bigger synths and some rushent-esque linn drum. both justus vocal and dub versions are included. next up, italian brioski fixates on the groove by adding his slap bass and driving groove.

boys noize – the remixes 2004-2011’ shows ridha’s electro stylings applied to the best and brightest in the industry. spanning over 6 years of work, this album showcases boys noize’s ability to rework source material into his own unique and inspiring compositions. from the stunning beauty of his remix of feist’s ‘my moon my man’ to the emotive synth work on daft punk’s recent ‘end of line’, alex’s touch never fails to impress. when we say ‘the best and the brightest’, we truly mean it, from critically acclaimed legends like david lynch to the cooler than cool n*e*r*d, this release truly has ‘a lot’ for everyone. be curious on the remixes boys noize did for depeche mode, snoop dogg and justice.

lux rec brings out the latest work by mathematics & hotmix artist joe drive, delivering a spaced out three track ep, from >clone replacement< dark funk mutations to the drexciyan electro of >crossing the forbidden planet<, landing eventually on >saturn 15< hitech soul! 200 only.

this is the first part (of four) of the much anticipated reissue series of drexciya s early catalogue, marking 20 years since the release of their first ep deep sea dweller , and 10 years since their final album grava 4 . one of the most influential techno acts ever, and part of the heritage of detroits underground resistance, drexciya explored techno like no-one else before: raw and uncompromising music that reflected the harsh environment of the city where drexciya was conceived, with a mythical approach that only added to their cult appeal. drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, made not only for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. journey of the deep sea dweller is a near-complete collection of their early works, released in four parts, with all audio remastered from the original master tapes. since the original releases have such a strong character and stand on their own, these reissue can never recreate the magic of those originals. instead, clone have stirred up the catalogue, taking tracks out of their original context, giving the committed fan a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of drexciya.

kowton and tom dicicco, residing in bristol and manchester respectively, make very different music from one another. kowtons seems to come from house, perhaps also electro and garage, often quite slow in tempo and hard to pin down to a specific genre. toms music is techno, bass heavy, melodic, textured and rooted around 125 bpm. with these distinctive styles the idea of a split ep might seem ambitious, but the result is four cohesive but different tracks that show the talents of both artists perfectly in the format of two originals on one side and two remixes of each others originals on the other. tom diciccos original is driven by a low-mid range thick stab and pounding kick drum, littered with intricate but not overbearing hi hat and snare work and some very atmospheric mid range. kowtons is subtle and sparse, low fidelity and plodding, with rattling percusion carrying the tune along. on the other side of the record, kowtons remix of toms original is driven by an enormous bassline, with an off kilter dubby feel to the slow tempo and genre defying tune. toms remix of kowton rounds off the ep with a return to stab driven techno, pulsating, dynamic and trance inducing.

the first phase in the breath-taking new musical project from hadamard, who of course we know from earlier projects via bunker, transient force, mighty robot and more recently featuring on compilations via our friends at solar one music. as we enter hadamards universe of the jupiter cycle, we hear a synthesis of straight-up electro coalesce with spellbinding ambient and experimental futurism, to create an overall bladerunner-esque environment. from the offset of our journey, approach,dramatically defining the musical landscape with its soundtrack-like and impending atmospherics,entry point,a stealthy, sneering electro fiend expect no mercy here magnetodisk is unpretentious, energized electro, providing a slightly more upbeat pause between the more serious overtones of offerings from ion electro straight from the core of jupiters volcanic moon whilst outpost jupiter and transition to chaos are most definitely someplace far, far in the future, as this piece can only leave the listener possessing a sense of introspection regarding the technological evolution of our generation. a stunning variety of styles on this limited edition vinyl project for last known trajectory.special limited edition pack includes the first in a series of collectable posters.

emergent behaviour is what one might determine the calm before the storm, as we dive into the second instalment of the jupiter cycle, as the drifting ambience and somewhat ominous synths proceed abstract thought, itself a stubborn barrage of hardened electro beats, rigid stabs, crystalizing and melding into an explosive mayhem and of course, the ghost in the machine, if anything a more traditional styled, yet irresistible electro hit. the deep showcases hadamard in a distinctly experimental mode, where all the fine details are tuned to perfection for maximum atmosphere. finally, drifting into the collective and satellite swarm, both gliding onwards and ever deeper into pure ambience, the latter closing piece eloquently preparing the audio stratosphere for the next chapter in the jupiter cycle. special limited edition pack includes the second in a series of collectable posters.

>he mentioned he was a house head, something about being old school<henry maldonado knows a thing or two about dance music. having made his mark in the 90s on strictly rhythm and maw, the new york native more recently delved into disco endeavors, both as one-half of native underground on wurst and under the shade, and also solo as son of sound on tirk, and now mystery meat.spirit catcher is peak-time filtered disco house action of the highest order. punchy drums, a huge bassline and massive floor-filling vocals do the damage every time. she rides takes the tempo down a notch, bringing that electro funk vibe you know all the kids were poppin and lockin to way back when.thanks in advance keeps things firmly in the 80s with affected female vox and killer arpeggios aplenty. mmmm, the meat sure is tasty this week!

they came from the deepest woods of the former udssr!ostblockschlampen, >the bitches from the eastern block< is markus lange and his cohort vanilla, two electro terrorists that have been rocking the boat and kicking in doors across  the nation.>bitches from ostblock< features a whos who of upstart producers including modek, stereofunk..bass bass bass...but you say who??? wir sind die bitches!

the veteran us producer continues the series he started in the 90s with a high-paced, pulsing slice of club techno.its not all high-octane thrills,either,and the offbeat electro of stained is also worth checking.

*** limited vinyl copies*** comprised of former members of hercules and love affair, new york citys jessica 6 has been commanding dance floors for years, globetrotting from london to miami, san francisco to santiago, bergen to belgrade, seducing the dancing, sweaty masses with an electrifying blend of disco, soul and r&b.
see the light opens with a classic-in-waiting, the behemoth of a single, >white horse<, that forces you to move like a witch doctor would. >champagne bubbles< is the kind of gritty r&b that isnt afraid to be as angry as it is melancholic, its piano flourishes punctuated with a heavy kick and snare. >prisoner of love<, which bridges electro and freestyle, featuring a soaring vocal melody that finds nomi and guest vocalist antony weaving their voices around each other to a stunning effect.

this is mina records 9th release with masaya, label boss, finally in the spotlight on production, arrangement and singing duties. her first ep on her own label: >again / get you< both have a minimalist melancholy feel in the electro pop vein.
>again< is remixed by nhar, (frenchman who has just brought out his own ep on ripertons perspectiv label), giving it an 80s soft synth pop sound.
>get you< is remixed by yapacc, resulting in a deeply rhythmic tech-house stomper.
4 totally different tracks to suit various club contexts.

>call me< is a welcome dose of precisely what we all need right now: a brilliant ray of sunny electro disco to warm up our winter dancefloors. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner has joined forces with fellow swedish house cat patrick l for a collaborative effort that offers a fresh, playful and breezy take on deep disco grooves. the dj nibc mix rides a languid summer afternoon tempo, accompanied by shimmering light beams and sweet synth chords, rising to a peak of uplifting strings and soulful vocals that weave around the tracks core retro melody. the patrick l mix gives the full polyphonic treatment, shifting the filtered strings to the intro, intensifying the bass, and using subtle punchy cut-ups in contrast with patricks crystal-clear vocal treatment. fellow swede tiger stripes completes the trio of countrymen, with a tiger stripes remix that moulds the track into an urgent dancefloor cut, emphasising an irresistible bass melody, a thudding kick drum, and classic house stabs of synths and voice. londons newest simmering hot creations signee funnels even more sunshine into his rework, as the crea albas lost soul remix splays out the the tracks high hats and fills all available spaces with arcs of retro synths and cosmic reverb.

next up from abstract forms is part two of the combined ep series, again the focus being on outer-worldly electro jams. the artists on offer are versalife who has already made a big impact on the recent clone west coast series and matti turunen, otherwise known as one half of finnish electro duo morphology. together they offer 6 tracks of electro music ranging from fast paced, but deep and spacious compositions, to slow and sleazy bump and grind electronica.well, thats what we call it, see what you think.
