its an exciting time for idle hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. after the bristol record shop rooted records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, idle boss chris farrell has carried the torch and opened the idle hands store on stokes croft in bristol city centre. just as the shop highlights idle hands dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded horizontal ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. now with this release and his syndrom z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. >volya< ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while >action five< boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.

after >echo life< and >night impact< mirror peoples third release >reaction!/odyssey< is out now on social disco clubs hands of time label. this 12 inch reinforces rui maias ability in crossing over his trademark synth skills with his love for emotional and melodic dancefloor movements. both tracks fuse recognizable patterns and intriguing ones where the cold teutonic meets far-eastern harmonies in a cool piano induced crescendo. as for the two remixes, tiago miranda provides a buzzing hypnotic >zawa dub< of >reaction!< and jacques renault a rhythmical stomping >odyssey< version

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

the clover deliver their second release on clap your hands called >people power ep<. get ready for 3 unique tunes! >manifesto< on the a side is going to be perfect for your summer festival set. >cosmic jam< follows on the b side and will funk your dance floor like no tune before.

forbidden friends is a new band from hutch harris, lead singer and mastermind of the thermals, portlands last great post-pop-punk-power trio. initially conceived as a way for lovers to send hidden messages in plain view (isnt there an app for that?), forbidden friends is now a legitimate, public work of art. the band is at once old fashioned (acoustic instruments, mono mixes), forward thinking (reference-less, incredibly danceable), and timeless (classic lyrical themes of love and desire.)
code for free download of this release included.

the fifth neurhythmics release is a compilation of befriended artists, and this is reflected by the different interpretations of the individuals to what the labels sound is about. juergen provides the a-side with >common sense< a vocal-snippet driven house-track, that once again underpins his sound-aesthetics of having it sound live and mixed on the fly, straight out of the machine. the flip-side could not start off any better. quite possibly a future classic, >signature< by mike binary, has soul and emotion literally squeezed in between each of the effortlessly programmed beats, and has become one the favourite tracks at the neurhythmics hq to ever been put on the label. last but not least, >no other< by the dirty soul project (you will know these guys, but we were sworn to secrecy) firmly pulls the hand brake and slows things down to just over 110 bpm. this doesnt mean that this very hypnotic number isnt going to work in the early morning slots…au contraire, actually...

the bewitched hands is a six- member band (five guys and one girl) from reims in france. the bewitched hands, formely known as the bewitched hands on the top of our heads, captured their audience in reknowned festivals like les transmusicales de rennes in 2008, le printemps de bourges or paris plage in 2009, and performing their cover of >tonight< by yuksek, who mixed their album. influenced by american folk and pop, frequently compared to big names of pop such as the beach boys, the flaming lips and most recently arcade fire, the bewitched hands have already got a prestigious international gigs behind them and more to come.
