emotions, melody and rhythm. those are the keywords to describe jin chois new release on serialism records, >delirium ep<. the berlin based artist has already been on the spotlight with the serialism team for his release >full range< (with maceo plex on rmx duty) a couple of years ago. his peculiar sound has developed even more since back then, leaving a special mark on the electronic music by spreading its uniqueness via well respected labels such as lessizmore, contexterrior as well as his own imprint private gold. the original tunes are solid musical journeys crossing over techno and dubstep, somewhere between the berlin and london sound, sometimes between the past and the future. romantically charged of emotions and broken rhythms. delirium ep also includes a minimal avant-­garde re-­visit by jazz musician david koch aka dewalta from the vakant and meander family.

since its first outing in 2004, matthew dears audion guise has predominantly acted as a darker, edgier commentary to the pop-infused house concoctions to be found under the producers birth name. a twisted reflection of sorts, it contemplated electronic music through the lens of grime-flecked techno and sinewy funk - resulting in relentless floor-fillers like the aptly named >kisses<, >just fucking< or >mouth to mouth<.

official 2014 re-issue of hm 1002 released in 1983 limited 100 copies on red vinyl limited 300 copies on standard black vinyl / picture cover / limited supplies / this record comes from the peak era of italo-disco. this release is pure quality, genius, so simple yet so brilliant. from the guys who brought the amazingly beautiful -stop / livin up- release under bwh. this record is equally amazing, with a spectacular drumbeat and very nicely layered synth, parallel to -stop- in brilliance and sequence, but a bit simpler and slightly shorter. its a shame that this track is only 4:30 long and that the duo released only a handful of italo-disco gems altogether under the aliases of bwh, blackway and mr master.

good job 030303 got their hands on these six tracks by rolando simmons as they remind you of where acid got its name from: this is music to trip to. the 303 is abused to the fullest while simmons adds snares and outlandish melodies to the acid bubbles and bleeps that are never far away.

as bass culture proudly reaches its 40th release, it gives us great pleasure to welcome back john jastszebski after he last turned out an ep for us back in 2012. releases for phonogramme and robsoul in the past two years have confirmed that he is a force to be reckoned with in the booming parisian house and techno scene. his approach on the would be back e.p fits in perfectly with the bass culture aesthetic, delivering tracks with a simple immediacy, always loaded with soul in just the right places, but never shirking the all-important groove. > would be back< s sturdy beat leads neatly up to a colourful burst of piano chords and rousing strings that make this into a perfect summer house cut. > fevrier< comes on with an entirely different season in mind, as mysterious and dubby tendrils of synths and samples unfurl around each other with a distinctly wintry mood. > my girl< meanwhile keeps the energy levels up with a stripped back, punchy beat, filling the space in the mix out with rousing pads that soothe and uplift.for a remix of > would be back<, we decided to turn to a long-time legend of the uk house scene, nail. his remix takes a more emotive approach to johns original, dropping in some playful synth lines and dreamy effects with stunning results. reaching across all seasons, situations and times of day and night, the would be back e.p delivers just the kind of versatile house music that sets our souls alight here at bass culture

roberto bosco has selected in recent months kinys music, to better prepare his first 12 inch, consisting of four tracks, named *damaged memory*. the track *unknown* (a1) leads off the dance of the release on last drop records imprint. it is a proper exploration in an unknown sonic territory to most of the people, and also a difficult element to make out for those who are novice to the visionary component in the musical poetic of kiny. the track starts with rounds of recurring sirens, almost deafening, framed by dark and ghostly noises. something not easily identifiable, ambiguous and unknown, as the title itself says, is perceptible in its sound. all this helps to shape a bad presage that fades away into the mystery.

tck are gerd janson , who otherwise runs the spledid running back label and philipp lauer, who produces grand music under his own name and is half of the fantastic arto mwambe. they just remixed sven väth among many other fab projects, atop that are both irresistable deejays and have a pedigree of being some of the nicest blokes that we know! but that all said, you havent eventually heard the best. its called pf01.02.03.04 and are their tracks made for this record.

figure arrives at its 60th release with label mainstay markus suckut. the young german producers sound easily represents some of the most focused, intense and immediate techno around, and he continues his fine run of form with three unique tracks on figure 60.
