since 2015, james welshs contribution to phantasy as kamera has delivered a series of releases shrouded in mystery, injected with the personal energy of both a hardcore and club heritage. two eps, arc and ventoux, set a distinct tone, with the latter complimented by head-turning remixes from artists such as george fitzgerald, throwing snow, truncate and yaleesa hall. now, the key phantasy artist emerges from the shadows under his own name, in order to continue his uncompromising musical journey. returning with a new, two-track ep, standing/slip captures the finely tuned tension and euphoric release of welshs sound in arguably its strongest form to date, showcasing not only the dancefloor mettle firmly established under his prior alias, but a new sense of wistfulness that coaxes his typically outstanding machine work into altogether more reflective territory. standing throws listeners headlong into welshs formerly anonymous industrial complex, generating a churning, relentless rhythm offset with a dry female vocal that recalls the sardonic stance of vintage electroclash. following this, slip is an initially unexpectedly spectral diversion, transmitting a curious synth line into space, and receiving a choral, sombre frequency in return. without losing its emotive qualities, the track succumbs to a hailstorm of welsh’s sharp, potent drums, before collapsing in understated catharsis.

after mathematics, bio rhythm and la beauté du négatif, american artist deviere is back on parisian label unlearn. lobster theremin artist and unlearn affiliate royer is on remix duty. water drums (a1), a deep and spacey cut reminds a joey-anderson-esque imagery for a moody and introspective club experience. strong yet subtle in the low end, this one is for the big sound systems. royer’s demi-monde remix comes up as a more housy interpretation, mixing dubby inspirations with lo-fi aesthetics. reminiscent of kyle hall’s early works on moods and grooves, rising (b1) is an upfront dancefloor track suited for peak time euphoria. speak into existence (b2) is probably the most accessible track of the ep, oscillating between acid-yet-warm feelings and solemn preacher-preachin’ vibes.

pumpin techno ep with 8 full techno bombs

don t confuse radio silence with inactivity. the music might not have been flowing, but the plans were at schrodinger s box hq. and finally, after a shedload of work, we re back to the music. anton maiovvi is well known in the right circles. this bristol born soundtrack virtuoso, italo disco savant and all round electronic guru has travelled labels far and wide with his smorgasbord sound. and that variety is plain to hear on will to powder. from the epic opener of -clocks-, maiovvi leads you through his labyrinthine hall of shapes and sounds. expect warming melodies, cold beats, shimmering synthwork, brazen experimentation, a decent dollop of slasher scores and a pinch new wave romance in this. undoubtedly his most diverse album to date.

following two radical reinterpretations earlier this summer from truncate and yaleesa hall, which earned plays from roman flügel, laurent garnier and ben sims to dusky and huxley, kameras ventoux ep is further expanded with two remixes that tastefully expand the producers original vision of uncompromising body music. festival and club favourite george fitzgerald is on hand first, delivering a blistering remix of cosignia, one of his personal favourite club records in recent times. here, fitzgerald continues his masterful streak of production, knowingly blending the somewhat menacing machine throb of the original with a suspenseful bassline, eventually culminating in a heavenly, ethereal breakdown, one thats certain to leave bigger rooms in throes. meanwhile, throwing snows remix of title track ventoux deconstructs the bright, idm inspired anthem into something equally frenetic yet utterly different. punchy live drums begin to escalate over a deeply satisfying electronic snarl, recalling throwing snows noted fascination with post-rock, while maintaining the tempo with naturally evolving elements of industrial and ebm

system boss mike gervais is back at it, and he’s bringing a crew of talented conspirators to surround you on four sides with an original cut and three distinctly different interpretations. surrounded drops in with a thumping kick following a relentlessly rolling synth through taut drum programming, sizzling ride cymbals, and crisp claps to build tension on the dance floor. annie hall takes the suspense of the original deep underground, for a subterranean journey through throbbing bass, corroded synths and filthy atmospherics, straight to the nucleus of the netherworld. jesse jakob pumps up the kick for a jacking reinterpretation laden with warehouse synths and a barrage of claps for big rooms. project 313 slips into a shadowy maze of smoke and mirrors to bend their remix into a lithe and rubbery low­down groove, perfect for heating things up early or when it’s time to stay long and get weird.

* the time has come for scar to broaden its horizons. as a production duo survival & script initially made a name for themselves by supplying rugged dancefloor workouts but there is a much larger story to tell here and with the orkyd project album this story will be told. * production collaborations have been kept to an absolute minimum aside from vocal features, naomi pryor is the ever present voice of the album with further contributions from eleanor higgins and ray uptown. * the influences for the orkyd project shine a further light on the story, from bill withers to massive attack via eric b and rakim. * when initial conversations took place between goldie and scar regarding the album goldie gave the guys full license to create whatever they wanted and what we have been given is a melting pot of 2016 london music. soul exists beside screw face. * it s important to note that drum n bass hasn t been abandoned by any means, the hall marks of scar are ever present and correct- the blue print has just been expanded upon

after a successful debut last year, london-based label welfare returns with its second release. once again, music comes courtesy of the label’s owners and is aimed at the dance-floor. zigzagging the grey area between house and techno, hypnotic and relenting moments offered by the turbine hall and anicca are offset by more melodic and experimental sounds of narcopaloma and a is for atom.

whirling hall of knives is a collaboration between trensmat founders magnetize and the last sound. harsh smouldering circuits and eruptions of panicky white noise have a profoundly unsettling quality, a sense of gnawing paranoia but interspersed with moments of almost euphoric epiphany, as if in the grip of an unshakeable 4am psychosis a growing sense that the door will be kicked in at any second and the world outside will come pouring in. psyche electronics of a particularly greasy and grime-flecked hue... the remix comes courtesy of downwards duo, talker. the american duo of karl meier and jon krohn (a.k.a stave) turn in a heavyweight version of vacuulum on the flip...

midwich is proud to present magas’s heads plus, the first proper vinyl release from james marlon magas since 2009’s violent arp. for the past several years, magas has been concentrating on instrumental production, eschewing vocal histrionics of previous work, in favor of moodier, more open-ended composition. this focus has resulted in the bombastic and hallucinatory heads plus, an all-instrumental wallop that fuses howling arp odyssey, capricious juno funk and fuzzed rhodes anchored to the ever-present throb of the roland tr-808 drum machine. freed from vocal constraints, heads plus conjures a cinematic ambience where light and dark wrangle for dominance in a dystopian post-techno near-future. plowing ahead with gleeful abandon, this 5-track ep is a take-no-prisoners statement of intent. heads plus is mastered by ruud lekx (rude 66) and cut by josh bonati at bonati mastering in nyc and comes housed in a eye-popping full-color uv gloss jacket featuring artwork by renowned sci-fi illustrator, mark salwowski. layout by designer beth hall. the vinyl release includes a download code.

mount liberation unlimited s debut 12inch on junk yard connections, astro travelling life, has become one of the most in demand deep house releases of 2014. a year on, they finally deliver a follow-up, this time on superconscious records. all three tracks primarily succeed due to their blend of rough analogue elements, crusty drum machine hits, tape hiss, and so on and the kind of dreamy, stargazing chords and melodies that have always been a hall mark of classic deep house. its the detroit techno influenced polyphonic spree, all cymbal-heavy shuffle, stretched-out chords and funky synthesizers - that arguably stands out, though its a tough call given the high quality threshold throughout.
