with his second release for planet mu this year, >dream on< is more of a full-length outing for ital aka daniel martin-mccormick and a much more substantial record than the popular and critically acclaimed >hive mind<.
on >dream on< ital takes his experimentation with house and techno forms even further, creating impressionistic deconstructions from the tropes of early house and techno. sunny chords, laid back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops are picked apart and threaded with a rich psychodrama of delirious textures, tidal chords and uneasy roughness and dissonance.

the name of the track is tiefblau and it speaks for itself: you are transported by a pushing, bass-generated pressure capsule down along a hypnotic groove line and into a deep blue ocean. the smalltown collective really exploit the merits of the acoustic stage here, pulling together a compelling and diverse set of notes and tones carefully arranged to amount to a track you just cant shake.

arriving at their fourth release, emotional rescues knowledge of forgotten musical gems and their commitment to give them the chance of wider appreciation they fully deserve cannot be in question! after digging out that bob chance classic, the focus switches to something of an equally balearic nature with the release of jaki whitren & john cartwrights lost folk rock album international times. originally released as a private press on the obscure french label living records back in 1983, this eight track album is filled with dusty soul nuggets which are given extra life by the silky vocal stylings of whitren - formerly a backing singer for alan parson. opening track >stay cool< sounds quite ahead of its time, whilst there are some true dancefloor gems for the more adventurous djs out there, such as the title track and the laid back bump of >go with the flow<.

killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

shortly after the controversial album >self portrait< dylan released >new morning<, which expands on the laid-back-country-rock of john wesley harding (movlp246) by adding a bit more rock & roll.

another great release on etichetta nera, this time is the toronto master greg gow. already on top labels such as transmat and his own restructured greg give us a track that came from the idea of blending detroit sounds with house and giving the track a good warm feeling with a nice groove. on the remixes francesco bonora & mirko remodel the track in their techno mood while corrugated tunnel version is more detroitish house. edwin was an instant fan of the original so he want to his remix a brand new feel with a laid back summer feel.

spring is here. its the time for lightly dressed easiness. its the time for big emotions. and when it comes to music, its the time for acker-sound! matching the outbreak of the open air season, it comes in the form of extra laid-back dub techno. the >ganja tune< from english producer robot needs oil moves somewhere between casual dance steps and relaxed hip swing, sunny guitar play creates a warm summer vibe. mollono.bass bangs the kick drum a little louder, arranges a bouncing groove based on catchy offbeat chords, and inserts the fluffy sound of a transverse flute. in another version, he additionally involves the latin charm of singer ava. finally the last track on this ep comes with dubby delay sounds, a jamaican-flavoured vocal sample and smoky beats: >pull up< by robot needs oil is a musical invitation for inspired mindbody relaxation

berlin based daniel dexter is part of the new breed of producers showing us why theres still mileage in the good old house groove. his cultured, expressive productions have the mark of a true talent and mr. dexter has only just begun. the acid-revival lives on.storm is a heavy, late night tale of sax, e-piano and stomping synth basslines. growing from a filtered intro, its song like structure drives us into true reckless abandon - perfect for the darker moments of the night, but still oozy with funk and soul. the thick, percussive opening bars of there will be jazz lead to a focus on one of dexters chosen weapons - more jazzy saxophone samples and synthesized strings lift us into a musical crescendo of tension, yet theres a laid back, new york vibe to the track, which will no doubt get plenty of plays this summer. the mysterious murder is a darker affair, shrouded in rave-era stabs and a real pushing vibe. its clear that daniel is a dextrous (no pun intended) producer with plenty of tricks up his sleeve
