lil silva’s new ep sees him exploring love and meaning in his unique hybrid uk production idiom. less tied to the frenetic pace of his for club play only instrumentals, “jimi” sees him modulate through textures, in a meditative state of mind, traveling his inner visions and memories. silva’s vocals are weaved through tracks “the play”, “lines” and “struggle” while newcomer cosima contributes to the spine-tingling “caught up” and los angeleno singer kent jamz blesses the epic night time soul of “de ja”. the ep has received big support on radio from the likes of benji b, annie mac, four tet, gilles peterson and mistajam, with “de ja” being placed on the bbc 1xtra a list and “caught up” featuring on the rinse fm a list.

newborn munich based label slam city jams comes around the corner with its first release from young gun gonima straight outta montreal, canada. his grids ep? an exciting mixture of swinging distorted drums, catchy melodies and hazy atmospheres. you can definitely spot gonima s passion for dx7 adventures, analog drums and tape hiss right here. opener -grids- starts off with lush synth blips, 707 drums and a bassline bootsy collins would give high-fives for. -subdivided- is one of these tracks that shows you that it doesn’t need more than a few elements to get you going: a rough kick drum, cowbells and a smooth pad that gets slapped by just one bass note. the last original on b2 is the ambient-like -organ tutorials-, which shifts your mind directly to outer space. and as if all this wasn t enough, someone really special did a great remix job – khotin from 1080p fame, who gave the a2 cut a treat with his unique trademark sound. four house and ambient tracks both for the floor and the couch. or as gonima puts it: -an ep that has the sound of visiting home in the winter and rediscovering environments frequented in the past, birthing previously obscured memories. the sounds within are a ritual dance to stay warm through the procession of the seasons-

the turbo debut from gilmer galibard is a collection of four dark, visceral techno floor-destroyers from a young canary islands-based producer about whom we know relatively little. it also marks the labels first release to feature a swear in the title, offering a foreboding glimpse of the paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror contained within. by now you will have heard the demo in its entirety and are still dancing whether you want to or not. for my purposes, you will use the search engine optimization terms dark, visceral, techno, floor-destroyers and paranoid machine-driven warehouse terror to ensure that it finds its way to the 83 people who need to hear the release through this specific channel. you may tell people i am 26 years old and from the canary islands both facts are true and sound comforting enough but as you now know this does not matter. print this in its entirety and leave the release title unchanged. i would say ive said too much but that is impossible because as youve come to understand all of this has already happened.

following his stunning everything is nothing ep, which kicked off the hubble telescope series for solar one music in 2015, luxus varta (aka emeric di paolo) is back with a new four track ep for french label, intramuros. ‘rosenhan experiment’ (named after david rosenhan’s famous study to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis, published in 1973 under the title “on being sane in insane places”) takes us on another electro trip into the human mind with paris the black fu from detroit grand pubahs once again making an appearance, on the track ‘losquato’. the ep opens with the wonderfully shimmering ‘wenn’ before luxus varta makes striking use of his background as a drummer on ‘lizzy’. ‘losquato’ is a playful addition with stripped back rhythms under paris’ story telling that bemoans a man’s work frustrations and resulting mental state (“i gave up therapy about a month ago. my therapist jumped out of a window”), while closer ‘tempsun’ is almost melancholy in its measured minimalism. recommended for lovers of drexciya and dopplereffekt.

verträumte soundlandschaften, atmosphärische beats, aber auch direkte, cluborientierte sounds für den moment, wo die euphorie einer party alle trägt: der 23jährige dänische produzent sekuoia kreiiert hypnotisierende elektronische musik, die stets warm und organisch ist und veröffentlicht im herbst diesen jahres endlich seinen ersten lanspieler -flac-. seine heimatstadt kopenhagen spielt für sekuoia alias patrick bech-madsen dabei eine durchaus wichtige rolle: vor allem die starke house- und technoszene inspiriert ihn immer wieder. aber nicht nur diese. für kollaborationen hat sich sekuoia mit der experimentellen sängerin kill j und marc roland des poporchesters kentaur vor allem um dänische acts bemüht, die den pop in seiner musik hervorkitzeln. so wird aus -lamp in the dark- ein sinnlicher, vom r&b inspirierter song, während -brace- sich mit roland am gesang zum richtigen ohrwurm entwickelt. und wenn man von patrick hört, dass zu den musikalischen vorbildern four tet und caribou zählen, kann man bei diesem song durchaus auch noch bonobo ergänzen. aber auch die andere seite des spektrums wird von sekuoia noch weiter erforscht - die cluborientiertere.

the release aims to be a must have for the lovers of techno music characterized by refined aesthetics and analog warmth, ideal to give added value to autumn moments.

four never before released or publicly available demo cuts from the writing sessions of craig peyton and jolyon skinner circa 1983-1985. the duo produced and wrote hits for artists in between working on their own projects. these songs survived the past 30 years on a cassette tape, which was lovingly transferred for this exclusive to peyton records release. after their short but fruitful collaborative period, peyton went on as a writer and band leader and skinner went on to have a career as a songwriter for pop acts such as joe, nsync, and freddie jackson. in the words of craig peyton: “jolyon skinner and i met in the early ’80s through our mutual friend keith diamond (the trinidadian producer of hits such as “caribbean queen” by billy ocean). after we met, jolyon and i started regular writing sessions at my nyc p-factor studio. our first break came in 1983 with howard johnson’s “let this dream be real-. that was followed up with “love of a lifetime” by melba moore and “where ya gonna be tonight” for will collins. after this we were offered a recording deal by april blackwood music, but due to my contract with profile records at the time we couldn’t accept it. shortly after skinner got signed to zomba and we stopped writing together around 1985.

thomas hessler returns with his second full ep for imf, with four tracks further establishing the on-the-rise german producer s talent for sleek, agile techno. ep opener push is the record s most intense cut, brimming with a powerful intent that s barely contained by the track s dramatic surging synths. it s followed by rise, which matches its rhythmic urgency to an escalating melody that teases while it builds towards its cathartic house lights up moment. the record s b1 track, the aptly-titled reflections, is the ep s most contemplative, with an unwavering pulse underpinning a subtle rising-and-falling melody that always threatens to burst into technicolour before dipping back into darkness. finally, ep closer the hope may be optimistically named yet is conversely the track most likely to incite dancefloor panic, with a drum rhythm that bucks like a rodeo bull, to which your best course of action is to hold on tight and enjoy the rid
