hypeltd are happy to introduce another new talent in the form of j. alvarez. it is a name you wont know yet, but the man behind it – seattle based producer chris 214 – has already made a name for himself with some rude electro, techno and even ghetto tech releases on in-the-know labels like frustrated funk (a subsidiary of clone) harbour city sorrow (and again) and others. now, though, he is on a house tip, and it is for that reason that he has assumed this new moniker…
continuing in the tradition of offering up sounds a little less accessible than its older hypercolour brother, hypeltd seems to have once again unearthed a producer more than worthy of popular attention.

this third outing expands further the mosso musical range, presenting alejandro mosso in some of his most rhythmic and yet, dreamiest atmospheres. unlike mosso002, which got the producer to hunt in his forgotten documents, both airs present on this record have been impetuously developed over the last few months. on the a-side, pleamar is a driving number which boots with a hypnotic metallophone pattern, slowly giving way into a electro (rga)nic piano fest, which in turn twists itself into bent, crushed and perverted synth whistles. this a-side has been designed keeping the lower half of the body in mind, offering full waves of joy and jubilation! now that you are grounded enough, how about flipping that record and meeting us on bajamar - low tide, litterally. on the shores of this b-side is where a wonderful landscape of shimmering spray and glistening stars await you. here again alejandros ability to bring together biotic and mechanic in a homogeneous unity is best revealed. in a magical tour de force, bajamar sends tingles from the base of your heels, up and all along your spine, into your crown, triggering instant wonder, reveries and realisations.

wonky bleep electro techno, old school and distorted. 6 tunes on an orange plate

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

holding no limits hot creations are back with their next release, digitaria & funky fats masochist ep – a funky fusion of all things electronic, from deep house and disco to indie-pop and electro.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

the ninth release from the mainrecords shop, on its eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from matt star, plus a remix from perseus traxx. with well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another matt star aka mattias schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest ep clearly displays. happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of ed dmx, while others lend more of a chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen. perseus traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnt stuck in one genre or sound.

double ten inch pack edition of the debut release from love interest, a newly minted label from the juno records enclave. minneapolis based electroboogie crooner nyteowl has been handed the honour of the debut release with the prince-leaning >love of mine<, and this edition features remixes from both brassica and astro chicken founder hyboid. given the nature of their output, both are perfectly placed to tease out the nuances of a 80s referencing electronic soul track and brassica in particular excels, extracting gleeful new levels of texture out of the synth sounds with a truly twisted remix. hyboid adopts an outer galactic electro poise reminiscent of his finest output on astro chicken, and if vocals arent your thing, check the b-side of each ten inch slab for instrumental mixes.

new years deal - incl lerosa remix, brill 80s inspired electro - disco... chicago rooted

big with:ernesto ferreyra, the mole, akufen, vincent lemeuix.. inspired by classic disco and electro, dkmd have already produced several dance music tracks, using old and new technology in order to come up with a unique sound which pays homage to their predecessors without sounding pastiche. echoes of giorgio moroder and donna summer can be felt throughout on the other side, while the playful and sensual taxi cab recounts the familiar story of an early morning phone call received by a girl in a cab, on her way home from a pleasurable night out. perhaps it is their experience playing together as improvisers that adds a special touch to their dance music,as they have grown accustomed to perform almost every element in their tracks using hardware intruments and effect boxes.in addition to their disco project,the two have a considerable track record as experimentalists and the dark,cosmic and mysterious androide is a good example of some of their output in the genre.even though dkmd are only at the beginning of their dancefloor adventures,they show no signs of stopping,and when asked what comes next,they will likely answer

apartments 3rd release comes courtesy of acclaimed producer lerosa. for this, his first release of 2012, he delivers 4 electro-based cuts, a rarely seen side to the man predominantly known for his house productions. the sparse and melancholic combat starts off proceedings, before titaniums throbbing bass, combined with mr. rosas unique melodic sensibilities, increases the pace. on the b-side slavery is a furious acid jam, constantly rising in energy over hectic percussion and a wall-shaking electro beat. finishing on decisions, the pace is reduced considerably while the acid stays intact, delivering the 12 inchs only 4/4 kick for what is lerosas most euphoric cut to date.
