laid down with authority by l/f/d/m are four no nonsense cuts blasting fresh air into that perennially en vogue phenomenon known as acid house. after stunning eps for glasgows prestigious optimo trax and clandestine traxx, an equally crushing full-length for kompakts ecstatic imprint, and two brain melting eps for diagonal with factory floors dominic butler as bronze teeth, it is an honor to have his sounds grace cgi with a release that sees him playing right for the heart of the dance floor.

presenting the first release in midnight shifts white label series. full eps from the midnight shift stable of artists. where mood meets melody.

acid, no wave and experimental house producer drvg cvltvre has been busy recently. after releasing with chris moss acid on shipwrec in 2014, vincent koreman then served up a full ep of his own, on dutch label cos_mos and is now back once again with a new four track affair on pinkman that comes two years after he offered up the label’s first ep in 2013. up first, * my houz* is a swampy house track with heavy drums, whirring machines and white noise textures all adding up to an intense affair that sounds like little else. then comes * tyranny of the gods* , a slow tempo but high impact track that builds and builds on a nerve lead synth line as frazzled bass props things up from below. dark and weird, occult and rave, its another unique proposition. on the flip, * sleepdealer* is an unbalanced house track with taught, tight bass and is shot through with laser like synths. serene and spaced out, it makes way for closer * crack spirit guide* which is a noisy, intense and brooding fusion of crisp percussion, big walls of synth and chattering drums that really have you on edge. once agin, then, drvg cvltvre has come up with the idiosyncratic goods.

the crew are at it again, having caused a mini storm with their debut 12- ep they are back with a rsd limited edition, first up we have this 80 s drenched balearic monster - just how you feel-, fat drums and baseline with plenty of synths, acoustic and electric guitar and haunting vocals. next the crew take us up the nile with this majestic track full of eastern flavour, fused with jazz and a relentless rhythm. finally we have this little gem of a track, fool in line, delightful in every way, with some mean marimba playing and catchy vocals, what a great jam. early dj support from kenneth bager 12 inch purple vinyl with splatters of white & black, in a manilla sleeve

it was only a matter of time before the prolific electro stalwart scape one aka kurt baggaley made an appearance on cpu. scape ones penchant for sci-fi is reflected in recombination an electronic adventure through space time, stopping briefly for an atomic war. kurts vast experience and collection of analogue synthesizers can be heard to full effect with crushing bass, bubbling leads and arpeggiated sweeps throughout. strong artistic influences on the ep from john foxx, vangelis to autechre (incunabula-esque). all in all a cocktail for the perfect electro cut.

nowadays we live in an era of minimally processed products, an age where electronic music is no longer a meticulous and painstaking craft but instead becomes a dish of fast-food, an easy-to-digest and cheap product. luckily, there are still musicians who refuse to enter this business circle and continue exploring, investigating all angles of this clubbing culture. joton has been following this way since the beginning of his career. he has been learning, experimenting, looking for the roots sound, and shaping its complexity until reaching a techno style full of energy and depth.

black vinyl 180g jacked in full colour printed sleeve. non succede niente- as a stagnating state of mind that rises into neurotic anguish, - non succede niente - as the soothing chant of a mother to her baby. mace s new ep blends in its track these two antithetic yet intertwined situations. “non succede niente - for this reason is drenched in this sort of unfulfilled dualism. these extremely different states of mind are juxtaposed in the succession of the tracks, where introspection and auditory blurriness of tracks like * 21% * or * la fine del sistema aureo* - in this last one the recollection of long past memories is both related to childhood reminiscences and collective historical memory - give space to the shining awareness and self-determination of * ti fissano* and the hope for the future portrayed in * synàptein*.

nsdos is back with some new toys from outer space - on this ep we hear six figments of his twisted imagination, caught live .... on this very dense and captivating ep, kirikoo des goes back to the 90 s with some cut up electronica flair (-christine +2-, -dona j haraway-) reminiscing oval s work or some experimental shake shakir tunes. the longest tracks though feels closer to a club from the future with some eerie pads (-fa-) and liquid rhythms patterns typical of the nsdos touch we love (-yuko-). overall this ep is a much cerebral effort and yet still keeps a vibrant and gorgeous organic side to it. demanding the full attention of the listener, the reward in the end is a total bliss taking us in a deep dimension. -space is the place- as the master sun ra once said

the mysterious duo project overall severity landed on fabrizio lapiana s attic music with an intense three track ep called -helene-, second installment of the new hurricane series. on the first side, in -vario 7288- they make an intricate journey immersed in a dark noir melody with powerful techno rhythms and plenty of alien sounds. -unable to assess- on the b-side turns into a hypnotic-linear sound focused on an obsessive and scientific atmosphere where the loopy drums light the way. an ambient flow closes this work, -emotional harm- is an evocative result of accurate sound design full of bleep, breaks and distorted chords.

the last time these gentlemen linked up was for their release what you see on leftroom limited in december of 2013. since then, circle (rob paine + keith landis) produced another ep for worship while rise 8 has been recording their full length album. the universe let these artistic minds & souls meet in the studio once again to create gone too deep. the original mix is a deep and moody house builder that is really brought to life through the haunting vocals of rise 8 s gerhardt koerner.

introducing damien zala... the next promising young frenchman to release on hold youth. although relatively unknown, his first album *lonely happiness* received strong support from theo parrish, norm talley and luke hess amongst others. combining analogue synths and drum-machines with acoustic elements and samples from old records, the trained sound engineer is a rigorous technician aiming to create sophisticated deep house atmospheres. hold youth provide a breeding ground for open-minded and innovative music, and zalas second life ep ticks all the right boxes. exploring sounds from a broad spectrum, *ms blue* is the moody opener that creates a melange of raw minimal jazz, while the b side continues in this vein with more of an obvious off-key german micro house influence. *considered done* references the late herbie hancock, sampling his voice over a flowing piano melody and punchy bass line, while *tribute to willy simon* goes all out funky, full of brass, with a classic hip hop swagger.

hailing from the rank depths of sf bay area back-alleys and only the grittiest of rundown nightclubs and dive bars, a taste of dj milanesa especials sleazy magic is finally here for the world to behold. fellow yay area freak and veteran fan of all things slightly askew for the dance floor, dave aju, managed to get dj milanesa onboard in the studio for this nasty ass jam of the highest/lowest order. chili dog surely finds its inspiration in the classic dance mania cannon of raw shit-talking party-rocking house trax, but ajus unique knob twists and turns here and there on co-production steers it clear into 2015 - the first wildly oversexed dance move anthem of the year is here, and hopefully only the first of many: if youre hungry double up, everybodys

mr.g presents a very special effort for the annual record store day. a heat packing 12 inch 180 gram heavy weight release that has some special messages carved in the run out. music for all should be the rsd 2015 house anthem. the b-side hothorpe is a hazy tool for adventurous club situations.

the title track is a monstrous cut designed to get floors sweaty. with its futuristic synth smears, blasts of white noise and slick rubbery beats it is impossible to ignore. full of atmosphere and some ghoulish voices, it s a fine affair from this italian master. the malandra jr remix is even more tense, with industrial machine sounds zipping and fizzing about in a progressive groove, whilst martin patino deconstructs the whole thing and re-builds it as a jazzy minimal affair with sick chords, smears of colourful light and plenty of charisma. lastly, eddy romero & frink go for a dark, dubby, stripped back number that will please the real heads out there.
