the cover of laguna verde ep shimmers in a turquoise and dark greenish tone, letting us reminisce about our sweet memories of one of the best and hottest summers ever: smalltown collective delivers their second schallbox single, a deep and melancholic techhouse track, that seems almost timeless in its original near-9-minute version. then there are the prestigious remixes, lining up seamlessly on this release: a groove-teeming version coming courtesy of the chosen two and even two different fulminant versions by cocoon darling sven tasnadi! so, as you can see, theres strictly nothing getting in the way of a musical visit to bolivias laguna verde!

busking really is next-level in berlin, with the acoustic guitar replaced by the laptop, drum machine and minimoog, all powered by a car battery. it was this thrown together setup that first introduced the world to skinnerbox as iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld took their leftfield, jazzy attitude and improvised genre-bridging music to the streets of berlin for impromptu jam sessions. it wasnt long before skinnerbox were rocking the floors of ritter butzke and wilde renate and getting their music pressed to the black gold was surely the next step...

touching upon dance musiculatory milestones like detroit techno and electro, nsyde007 sees tyon, a well-known but besides this moniker for now anonymous traveller, summoning up atmospheres totally his own. this is space music. but not in the ra sense. take the a-side flaw 11, for instance. this is space music in the way it catapults you out, like the most terrible mistake made by man-machine, into the farthest reaches of an ever faster expanding universe, dark energy tearing at your nipples until they rip off, resemblances of melody orchestrating the drama/bliss of event horizon passage. its dark yet beautiful, like the smile on a dying persons face, and a heavily psychedelic trip at that – but fear not! you won’t be subjected to any despicable noodleage here, just to weird, intensely warped sounds you want to dance your ass off to. make it fat on the other side is the sci-fi equivalent to hänsel und gretel: a perpetuating feeding of the child-to-be-eaten. the finest in andromeda’s hyper-fattening molecular cuisine gets crammed into the gagging brat as doom is looming over its forehead. and with every spoon thats being recklessly punched into the poor little demon’s face it is getting closer to its, as well as the dancers ultimate goal: total nirvana. pressed on black vinyl.

the man from marseille vernon dropping his second e.p for dabj here, building on the groove of his debut >chicken dance< but adding an extended palette of sound and taking things in a slightly tougher direction. >how to travel the universe (without a flying saucer)< kicks of with >ignition<, an eerie ghost train cut ripe for an lsd-fuelled danse macabre through the town after the witching hour. >one night in tanzania< rolls out into a rugged, clave-led jacker: a perfect mix between the deep and the tough that vernon can deftly muster, seemingly with ease. flip the white wax for a run of jagged, acidic noise on >how to build a pyramid<, a perfect soundtrack to getting >the acid life< tattooed on yer forehead tebori-style by a crippled ex-yakusa in a back-alley whorehouse...

if chicago and detroit are the cities in which house and techno were born and raised, it was in italy circa 1990 that this delirious party music experienced a piano-driven coming of age. so far, so spangled. but while that may be the official story, there are other italian narratives too. take francois le roy and nanni for instance - two djs and producers from southern italy for whom, in the early nineties, the likes of aphex twin, autechre and air liquide were important, alongside the machine funk of detroit and the immersive soundtracks of the ambient generation. both artists are steeped in underground club music, and their new release on shabby doll records is a fine example of tough, tech-edged house. the *crossing roads* ep features four tracks that showcase their melodic yet relentless groove, they may be based in milan, but on this record, the influence of detroit, chicago and new york runs deep.

seuil is back on eklo with new sound experimentation. after using only the mpc for his last record on the label, he has decided to expand to other devices to express his feelings about modern house music. getting into modular synthesis and using two famous modern machine drums that you will perhaps recognize... but still no computer sequences in the circuit, in an attempt to make advanced and modern house music just with hardware.
