past midnight. empty streets. from an ill lit doorway a sound. a woman. shadow. a scent. drawn into one. smoke and synthesizer music swirls. bionda e lupo. crossing the threshold, tripping into twilight. analogue emotion, styles twirled like garlands. nervous shuffles and the touch of fingertips. weaving, bodies twirl as morning shoulders into night. the realisation. the edge of eyes. curl of lip. the click of heels with creak of floor. feeling flows, ebbs, cascades and floods. lipstick and heavy perfume. two forms swimming in currents, bending to one another in the warm glow of aging speakers. breath and pulse quicken. electricity spiked with passion. the final embrace. whispered promises. a kiss.

after a brief hiatus komplex de deep and its chief protagonist master-h make a welcome return together to present the label’s twenty second release. in his very own words, -this is a new me-, h is now ready to unveil new music having been holed away in the studio for months on end mastering an array of new hardware and analog processes. the french producer is also challenging himself with the recording, locking down each individual track live and in one take. an art that was practiced by many of the jazz greats in their heyday and one that has also influenced the title of the new release - ’soul take’. as with all master-h productions we are drawn to the detail and emotion. ‘somba people’ with its inviting tribal rhythm pairs traditional african song with a warm and enveloping blanket of strings, handclaps and bass. the title track ramps things up with its bobbing drums, stabbing synth and echoing cowbell. one take and plenty of soul. komplex de deep are also happy to announce that they are now a strictly limited vinyl only label.

repress 2015 ... with dubsteps big push into the mainstream, stirring up all manner of hybrids, variants and mutations, its worth remembering that some have been creating fresh twists on the current generation of global bass music from its very inception. paul rose, aka scuba, and his hotflush label have, since 2003, had experimentation and genre-collision etched into the very structures of everything they do. putting out key tunes by the core pioneers of dubstep, but also by true outliers like mount kimbie, joy orbison and sepalcure, hotflush has created a sense of absolute consistence in diversity: multiple sounds united by true craftsmanship and high-tech expression of complex emotion. joining the uk underground to the deep-rooted techno culture of berlin, where rose is now resident, the label is a vital nexus in the flow of musical information that is fuelling the current innovative climate. so next time you hear someone talking about >post<- this or >future<- that, consider that maybe the times are just catching up with hotflush. back and 4th features ten brand new tracks from bass musics most innovative producers, as well as a collection of essentials from hotflushs recent catalogue. the compilation is presented in double-cd and as a triple 12 inch vinyl release.

the 3rd release by mutewax, various artsts 03, shows no signs of letting up. normally playing live, lyon-based pascal roeder smoothes out the rough edges with gentle yet subversive rhythms in “101,” a posh production that hints at what’s to come on his next mutewax ep. mutecell’s “vimana”, like the word itself, embodies multiple meanings at once - the track’s inherent mystery oscillates between emotion and intellect, ancient and modern, serene stillness and a bold drive into the unknown. relocating from denver to berlin, chad kaska, aka daegon, reinvents himself on his first vinyl release, “double speak.” the energetic track fights its way forward, advancing steadily against an antithetical undercurrent, finally assimilating it into its double-crossing rhythm. the founder of “hide & seek” in berlin, denise rabe hits hard out of the gate with her first vinyl track, “loaded.” building up energy, the track finally detonates and expands in phrenic waves across the dance floor.

lakehead returns to nabla for a second release by evolving his rendition of unearthly ambient pads with a tasty three track ep. two parts testimonial, one part interpretation, this record emulates ‘90’s groovy techno with modern melancholic keys tantalizingly hovering over fog drenched surfaces. the a-side sees us start with ‘1991,’ an assertively murky tune that immediately intoxicates with the introduction of keys that manage to invigorate and remain melancholic. following bewitching synth work, a throbbing energetic bass line pieces this number together while releasing suppressed emotion. a true anthem! on the flipside, nabla welcomes zaphod salmon to the fore with a well-taken, minimalist approach in remixing ‘1991’. by sparingly using snippets of hi-hats, claps and snares, zaphod creates formidable tension in an onrushing build up. this mixture of harmonic sounds sensibly reintroduces key elements of the original in a sensation shrouded in suffocating haze. ‚workout trax’ maintains the straight-faced groovy vibe with intermittent bleeps and filthy cymbal work whose jacking undercurrent will keep your feet moving. with its rhythmic nature beat, ‚workout trax’ represents machine funk at its finest. like the moon the strength of its gravitational pull will create a powerful tide swiping unsuspecting subject towards the dancefloor, whetting your appetite by precisely ending when the hypnotic swirl begins to form
