home recordings is back after home008 the well played asso ep by austriasmartin mueller. this time we have a grounded techno 4 tracker on home009 ripped on by global top players likeone of the most popular us producerslester fitzpatrick. on the a1 side mattias fridell aka mechanical heros our new member from sweden start things off with some energising beats. a tricky vocal in the track fits exactly to the mechanical rythms of this pumpin cut. a2 is vegim the man behind tmm records and planet rythm artist andreas florin teamed up here to deliver a primetime killer. dancefloor madness from a new collab as epexcted. b1 kicks off with martin mueller in a asso remix by chicagos bad boy lester fitzpatrick. he delivers a tight remix with a great dynamic on his debut for the austrian label. b2 is the return of wrexfords based finest lee holman to home recordings. his track comes up with a well programmed bd. what runs asolutley winning to the spacey scary synth line. thats real deep magic.

here at spectrum spools, one of the many missions is to make sure great, under-documented, and limited offerings get a chance to see a wider release. no ufos debut cassette, >soft coast< (2010, nice up intl), is surely no exception.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

wonderful remastered reissue of nancy martins >cant believe<, a deep italo/proto house cut from back in 1982 recorded by canadian producer domenic sciullo. featuring an awesome phat analogue italo-style bassline, great sexy vocals and an irresistible chugging groove that gets the floor bouncing, it became an anthem in the underground clubs of chicago, championed by the likes of frankie knuckles and ron hardy. released here on the original neige records label which features the full length long version of this killer and also the highly useful instrumental version. essential

a one-off release from james and karl here showcasing chunks of their killer live set from a recent london gig. the a-side is basically a brilliantly executed and bass heavy mashup of ruskins classic track work alongside the much loved blunted rhythms of kalons man is the superior animal.in contrast the b-side is a great intro/outro beatless tool.

rounding off what has been a busy year for idle hands comes a 12 inch from west country residents outboxx. this duo, comprised of jacob martin (aka hodge) and matthew lambert have steadily built a reputation for themselves with releases on well rounded and immerse. moving away from the dominant trends in bass music the pair have been forging a sound more akin to early nineties deep house - yet retaining a palette of 2011 sounds. here they present two tracks - >aporia< is a lesson in wistful house, all pianos and a sneeky bass drop half way through the tune. >cromwell< is a straight ahead house roller, but with enough sub to keep the bass enthusiasts happy. support so far from ramadanman and sven weiseman.

a straight upfront pounding original from dutch producer mr jones is joined here on the remix by current drumcode favourite ben sims for a groovier, more funk filled workout. dublin based producer sunil sharpe rounds off the package with a seriously twisted heads down broken beat approach.

norm talley tackles techno. yes, you heard that right… in spite of 3 tracks on the original transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from a very reliable source, it was that first one that everyone begged for more of. we must agree that those 3 minutes were just a little of a tease, so here is the full 9-minute extended cut of “man on the moon” that all of you asked for, and what a trip it is! certainly funky broken-beat techno is a new look for norm, but it’s pretty obvious in all 9 of the minutes here that this is a man from detroit making the music he knows best. there’s a groove and a touch here that speaks of soul and experience… although you may find this one in the crates of some of the new school techno elite, it’s safe to say they couldn’t have made it the way norm talley did. even if you remember part one you may be surprised where he takes it, but we’re even more pleased to say that “earth 2 moon” beats it at its own game. this one made our necks snap and heads turn the very first time.

veteran uk producer/dj paul macs debut release for art shows his remarkable versatility and meticulous production skills. odd things amount to nothing is very much a modern techno wall-shaker. it’s incessant drones and wails ride upon a wave of relentless beats. the track pauses to catch its breath after a tremendous build before once again going clattering down the rails. the flipside is the track that original caught label-owner and a&r kirk degiorgios ear - a modern take on the classic chicago/detroit hybrid sound of the late-eighties, brought up-to-date with a crisp sound

relativismi is the latest three track release from sonic groove artist dasha rush. side ways is a percussive industrial tribalesque groover that grinds it way through the airiness of droning soundscapes. relative perspective is a beautifully crafted deep hypnotic journey which will surely conjure up many a thought about space and time. ending this chapter of relativismi is dark light blind an eerily brooding acidic mind warper that leaves the listener wanting more and more. dasha delivers here with another great and very original sounding release for sonic groove.

this is the virgin record on downfall theory, a new st petersburg imprint serving as the creative outlet for the persuasions and productions of discerning dance music sanys etiku. side a is a full-on entanglement of sandy synths, cell-block stabs, a murderous midpoint bassline and hats slammed through a sieve. this track will twist your face played on a real system, even if you don’t realize it happened until you see the party pics posted online. b is a solid brick of overpowering percussion pressed into an intoxicating terrine of implied melody so irresistible you will eat it raw. no mistake here. these are ensanguined techno tracks built for barbaric djs simply looking to smash your face.
