tenderness is four cuts of emotional dance music from super tuff label head, m. vaughan. with galloping shakers underpinned by a weighty sub-bass, the a1 cut moon river is a blue-eyed peak time anthem. turn around! is an a2 track with heavy duty low end and a tender pitch shifted vocalia wonky patchwork of melodies that sums to something reminiscent of early herbert. for the b-side, tenderness at 117 bpm is a soft, opening tune that serves up a breaky drums, liquid pads, and a well-placed harp solo. -when it all happens. is a dj aakmael inspired groover that leaves the ep with a driving kick, chunky moog bass, and a vocal sample wailing out from the pains of heartbreak. dont cry! get intimate with a brand new copy of m. vaughans tenderness from super tuff.

pulsewidthmod,creates tracks that are very epic and driving in nature all of which are recorded as live techno jams using elektrons dark trinity and an ms20 mini. her influences from techno to industrial, ebm, and belgium new beat leaves the listener with some menacing drums and a juxtaposition of both pleasing and disorienting melodies. serpentine servitude explores the idea that perhaps the serpent in the garden of eden was really being humanities servant. who was this creator character to dictate which fruit was ok for us to eat? who was he or they to say that if we ate the fruit we would be tainted and forever separate from divine love? all this did was create the idea in our consciousness that we were tainted. it is of my personal belief that the idea that we are sinful is the original sin. this god character who created beings in his own image and then dictated how they were to live their life kind of sounds like an over controlling father. where is mother in all this? the album started with the track original sin which was originally titled acid. seems somewhat appropriate since the concept of original sin seems to be a violation on humanities consciousness

we welcome the vinyl format after a hiatus to embark into an energy-driven journey, full of potent, cross-genre tracks courtesy of mr. ben cano. ben, which previously collaborated on this label as tenientetuko, builds on the previous album-creating experience and he outdoes himself in multiple ways, keeping the variety of groove encompassing all together with his propelling signature techno ethos. deep snowmass starts the ep in a harsh, mental way to induce rapidly to a dark feeling which leaves you in the void with a malleable conscience that allows your body and soul to float, with the help of an ever-building acidic bass and pulsating percussion. rocky mountain goes to other heights, using a uplifting rhodes chord and effective drum programming to deliver a dreamy wave of full potential. between dub, hitch and tube 8 seal the deal with energetic, acid-infused and sometimes-housey takes from his recent live set, which he manages to reorganize in the track format we currently offer as black pressed acetate.

hiroshi watanabe does not hold back on threshold of eternity ep. the leonids strings is a deeply emotional and delicate string arrangement that leaves the listener beauty struck and in awe. into the memory is a dance floor banger which holds true to watanabe s exquisite skill as a techno producer. the release contains a beautiful balance between groove and beauty which is rarely present in a techno record. the cover photography is a photo by watanabe himself of his hometown tokyo.

sanskrit scriptures mention the term vimana as flying vehicles or temples. consequently, the sound of this ancient ufo has been captured into the grooves of this vinyl record. the soundscapes of rukma vimana dig deep into the dirty history of raw and hypnotic industrial techno. nobody said that spiritual journeys are a clean endeavour. a1 marches forward into the dark lands of dirty drums and urges you to follow it, as it’s your duty to dance hard in this life. flip the vinyl and the needle will tickle your subconsciousness. excavating deep tantalizing melodies and dusty basslines, one should not get lost in the palace of this unknown god. closing with a meditative sketch, b2 leaves us puzzled about the vortex of energy we’ve just been through.

don’t sleep on this, as a record crammed to a brim with such insanely tight and varied material doesn’t hit the shops often. printed on a customary 180g elusive wax and limited to a measly 300 copies it won’t stay on the shelves for long and might just cause a riot! andrey burtaev is somewhat of a gleaming, speeding meteor that is about to hit our planet big and elusive records are proud to welcome him back for his second effort for the label. right from the start of the “move on dub” we are teleported to the heart of the deepest rainforest. the humid hallucinatory mist of the opening bars subversively flows into hooks laced with explosive jitters and locked-in, dubbed up tech-house beats. the jive comes in and reasserts the reggae roots so central to andrey’s music. the track is so dense with fresh ideas – it leaves you with that rare feeling of ‘not enough’.

phono ghosts (alias of producer neil scrivin - also behind meatbingo) returns with his long-awaited second album released via brand new imprint fonolith. building upon the cassette-raiding, micro-sampling methodology and varied sound landscape of 2013’s chrome position on skam records, solar dream reel is a journey through summery funk, mangled radio jingles, evocative atmospheres and anthemic edit-stomp, all filtered via the shimmery analogue lens of the compact cassette. a sonic exploration of that borderland between the waking world and sleep - a place everyone has been to but few remember - phono ghosts comes back to reality with a selection of vivid polaroids and cassette memories from his visits to the hypnagogic hinterland of the collective unconscious and presents these pure distilled documents for you on four beautiful sides of vinyl. something may have come back with him...

“remains”, magda ter’s sophomore album, has been created over the past two years changing its shape several times. it is a compromise between static, experimental background music and soothing techno glimpses with some samples of acoustic instruments. as a result, the album has contemplative colours, although hidden beneath the surface of seemingly uninvolved sounds.
due to this fact ter’s music cannot be pigeonholed. one can even say that “remains” leaves the audience with a huge amount of space for their own feelings and interpretations of the individual sequences, while simultaneously dropping some vague cues. thus, we are dealing with one of the most intriguing electronic polish releases in recent years.

1lp in a gatefold sleeve with matt finishing, cd included camilles second studio album including la jeune fille aux cheveux blancs and ta douleur. since 2016, rémy poncet aka chevalrex sits among the top new french songwriters to watch thanks to futurism (vietnam, 2016), an intimate sophomore album critically acclaimed by the press and on which he plays all the instruments. wondering how one finds his/her place in today’s world while staying true to him/herself, chevalrex offers his answers in this third album and leaves behind his minimalist compositions to raise his ambitions and push his music into a whole other dimension. recorded this time with additional musicians and even a whole string orchestra, anti slogan compiles ten songs meticulously crafted in which the worlds of jim o’rourke, vincent delerme, tindersticks and boris vian collides, showcasing a level of refinement hardly ever heard in the french pop scene.

these things take time keep it close to home on their 3rd release to wax. the split ep with b. hayes and the enigmatic dj dre debuting what the flora sound truly means.
a1 leaves no further introduction with dance floor stomper with abnormal percussion that keeps it outside the box. following in the shared a side comes b. hayes’s wax debut with ‘inside the outside’ delivering wavey synth line splashing over a relentless electro pattern leaving just enough room for the bright, refreshing female vocal. dre’s ‘215’ kicks off the flip keeping the determined drum vibe present around smooth glittery 808 patterns.
‘flora’ closes out the ep with deep hearty kick blending truthfully under a kinky nonstop bassline moving through each threshold. true to tha philly sound, true to tha flora sound.

having tamed last year s havoc and disparity into the damaged rapture of layers of reality, anthony linell is opening a new calendar with the sheared isolation of his latest album, a sense of order. linell has put his toolkit for summoning euphoria aside here, instead sculpting a glowing, diaphanous fog that swells into pensive melodies and arpeggiated whispers. graceful for the way in which it makes the bleak hospitable, the charm of coldness invites us toward the empty and the beautiful, and away from the miserable.

initially released on sonia e. pottinger s highly respected high note records in 1981, sonya spence s sings love lp was relatively overlooked at the time her album came out. sent on her final journey in 2007, the one-woman band leaves us with a legacy of exception. however, time and a small first pressing has made it an object of desire for collectors, deejays and lovers all around the world. and, though it was shamelessly bootlegged throughout history, it is the first that time that this bliss of an lp gets the official reissue treatment on wax, with the love and respect it deserves. beyond classic tracks let the flow on baby, where is the love and the reggae gem fantasy, this 10-tracker abounds with treasures, some of which cannot be found on the internet.

for the second in its new special collector series, music for dreams has asked long-time friend of the label moonboots to pick out a selection of songs with the power to encapsulate moods of calm and moments of contemplation. the result is the exquisite “moments in time” moonboots has been a fixture of the manchester scene since the balearic boom in the late 80s. he runs the prolific vinyl label aficionado recordings together with fellow dj jason boardman, a project that started out as a sunday club night. since 2012, they’ve dished out more than a handful of 12” releases with an ever-surprising selection of underground acts at the fringes of what might be called balearic.

bliq continues its quest to mine the deepest shades of techno with this release from iakovos, who had previously appeared on the label as lowjac and in the formidable duo deemonlover. this is sharply focused mind music layered with subtle detail and rich textures perfectly honed for hazy hours at the far reaches of the party. -singers- melds hypnotic pads with gossamer-light threads of breakbeat and warm synth pulses, while -evil flower- pushes a tougher rhythmic agenda without losing the ethereal atmosphere. -adidas people- rides on a surging kick drum pattern, but leaves ample room for a distant drone, and then -hackney tower- heads into edgier territory with all manner of obtuse angles and unnerving sound effects pivoting around the insistent drum core of the track.

nice price deal !!! second single from the time and space machine. the time and space machine was conceived in 2008 as a sound that solidifies richard norris decades of collecting, releasing and writing about psychedelic music. the you are the one ep opens up with lead title track, which is a slow jam cosmic bliss out. mushroom family adds a touch of 70s sheen and evokes a trip in a field of joy with the sun shining down. more cowbell takes things in a more dancefloor, groove driven direction, which leaves the listener wondering which trip richard will be taking on for the rest of the album

wonderwheel recordings is proud to present the first full-length album from producer robin perkins, aka el buho. balance represents a meeting of different currents that make up buho s music: a fascination with the natural world, and its protection, a fascination with the rhythms, traditions and sounds of latin america and a fascination with modern electronic music and production aesthetics. the album is peppered with cumbia, son jarocho, andean instrumentation & afro- colombian rhythms. mixed with this, robin integrates this idea of -nature music- - putting the sound of a misty forest, the songs of birds, of crunching leaves under foot or the rhythmic tapping of rain alongside synthesized sounds, electronic clicks or claps, deep basses. trying at once to give them their own space but in a new, surprising perspective - it draws electronic music into something more soft, natural, different and appealing. balance is also an album that celebrates community and collaboration, showcasing collaborations with ten different artists form latin america and beyond, both producers, instrumentalists and singers. including more of a lyrical presence than his previous eps, perkins solicited the participation of talented singers like dina al wedidi from cairo, luzmila carpio from bolivia and the incredible decimas of mexican poet citlaly malpica. the album also features the likes of harpist veronica valerio, argentine multi-instrumentalist rumo tumba, jarana player pablo emiliano from mexican son jarocho group semilla and members of the shika shika

masaki messaged blueberry records soundcloud and signed an ep within a week. i guess sending demos is still a thing. the concept of the ep is to demonstrate all the colors in masaki s rainbow. a truly gifted studio engineer, there are many styles in which he moves across the mixing board. ark and blessing are pure sound design ticklers. as if he decided to make an updated blue-ray instructional soundtrack. soaring melodies and sub bass anchors the listener is literally pinned done by the pressure and beaten with an ugly beauty unique to masakis style. dolci and ilah both radiate on the dance floor like lost dark rollers from an updated mid 90 s estelia and fraewnuil demonstrate the beautiful thoughtfulness masaki also possesses. like a hidden runout groove, masaki leaves the listener pensive and wrapped in a warm embrace.

ambient shoegaze duo aris kindt launch the new kingdoms imprint with their second album, swann and odette. picking up where their first record (2015Æs floods) leaves off, swann and odette is an evolutionary leap forward for the duo. the sonic palette is deeper, the grooves more sparse and the melodies are given more room to seep deep within a mix so expansive it feels almost tactile. this is heady, opulent stuff. the album is immaculately produced and cunningly arranged to sidestep easy classification while not sacrificing accessibility and authentic feeling. aris kindt is the collaborative project of gabe hedrick and francis harris (scissor and thread). harris has previously released the albums leland (2012) and minutes of sleep (2014), both of which have been lauded ôfor (their) extensive use of live instruments, a contrasting feature to his work done beforeö (last.fm, 2016). building on this approach, hedrick adds his own sonic signature in effects-laden layers of electric guitar and modular synthesizer. collectively, the album swells and reverberates to create a seamless interplay of synths and instrumentation cast loose from their origins and awash in oceanic delay.

we have been waiting for pele to crop up on a release from the footy mad rothmans and what a time to play that hand card. teaming up once more with his aussie team mate dawn again and a first apperance from leeds legends clandestino. the first track from the ep cobblejam is nothing short of first class, a worthy italo, chuggy, powerhouse that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. the b-side finds us with the slightly strangely named woman for a day theres nothing strange about the track itself though. a deep and dark track that slowly drives forward into the abyss. finishing off the record is an excellent remix from the lads over at clandestino. their dessert trance vibe brings the record together as sweetly as pele brought together that 1970 world cup winning team.

artist: blasted title: -aelien ii- format: 12- label: aelien catalogue number: aev02 country: it genre: techno, industrial exclusive: yes price: 5.80€ asteroid records catalogue keeps expanding exponentially. label chief blasted brings you more of his purely analogue creations. italian producer continues series of eps titled aelien, and aelien ii is presented thusly – two new originals by blasted backed by two reworks from monolith records owner sirio gry j and paul birken – a one-man techno army from minneapolis. ethereal bassline will kick off the opener reborn, but the serenity of intro will be quickly interrupted by heavy-duty drum kicks, synthetic fields and high-reaching, chirping drops of reverberated acid. in his vision of reborn, sirio gry j leaves no window open for light – it s a grim, completely disarming ode to warehouse-held midnight sessions, intended to instantly penetrate the mind s defense system with oppressive kicks supported by tightly compressed low bass. next up is arkham – its resonant, uncanny bassline will give you the thrills while acid-soaked, syncopated kicks will keep providing the energy required for some boundaryless dancefloor frenzy. lastly, paul birken elevates arkham to a faster pace, straightening out the kicks, and making them more bouncy, while reshaping the bassline into a less sinister, more lively undertone

panoram, the elusive mediterranean producer famous for his “everyone is a door” on firecracker and “a doom with a view” on origin peoples, now returns with a long awaited ep for his own wandering eye imprint.
the palette here on “the question” is an illustrative sound collage that leaves its listener adrift through unexplored musical territories. nocturnal atmospheres dimly lit by minimal, detuned melodies are complimented by sensual, synthetic whispers from a parallel dimension. this collection of songs serves as a manifesto to panoram’s mysteriously hypnotic, oftentimes doom-ridden allure.

london s weekend circuit imprint returns with a 5 track ep from label owner michael wells entitled three marks of existence. the ep marks michael s debut on the label and is a signifier of his future direction as a producer - meditative, tense, unfolding electronics and monochrome ambient environments inform this release. the deepest of deep space is contained within ep opener antecedent , an almost menacing, enveloping track that engulfs us during it s 5 minutes or so of existence. verge follows and is driven by speaker puncturing taut, tribal drum programming and swirling satellite sounds, creeping further into the nexus. subtly heavy indeed. ‘three marks of existence mines an altogether different vein, an epic, widescreen vision of downtempo electro that is damaged, on the fritz, but containing enough melodic beauty to retain hope. souls in the machines. weekend circuit acolytes yyyy return to the scene of the crime with a monolithic remix of verge that opens the second side of this ep, showcasing their unique style and interpretation of the original mix, and following on from their previous split ep with stanislav tolkachev and their own ep ‘intention of mortal’. ‘ilmatar leaves us out and leads you into the cold night, the final transmission from the ‘three marks of existence signal. fierce drums punctuate the night sky and barren landscapes while somewhere deep inside, memories are remembered. equal parts thought provoking and anxious, the perfect end point for what will undoubtedly be a formative benchmark in the weekend circuit canon.

lowfreq77 is taking no prisoners as he steps up to deliver the second release on summa cum laude. the italian producer has only emerged in the past few years, despite having dedicated a great deal of his life to producing music.
it was clearly worth the wait - 1804 is the kind of fist thumping techno that leaves no body motionless as it rips its way through the dance in a hail of relentless claps and nagging synth hooks.
rails meanwhile amps up the robert hood style twitchy loops, making this a techno record for those who like their beats pure and unrelenting.

four years after his excellent eclipse 12-, roberto auser is back on a rotterdam staple: pinkman. color your soul has adopted some, but not all, of its older brother s attributes. lumbering with menacing intent, the title piece leaves wreckage in its bruising wake. -do you want to believe- is cut from the same deviant cloth. grunting rhythms stomp on tortured strings, industrial shrieks cry beneath the boot of a raging beat. the closer, -wake u up-, has auser toying with his victim. steam hisses, acid lines bulge, pistons pound and sirens blare in this boiled work of brooding brutality.

c joynes is a musician whose playing has consistently invoked a broad and shifting stream of inspirations.

bologna s increasing influence on dancefloors across the world continues as hotly tipped lo-fi house duo nas1 drop their first release on their home town label, sorryforthis records and is sure to be a big moment for their burgeoning reputations. it s an eclectic, multi-layered 4 track ep that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with such minimalist kit to the extreme and includes a remix from sound signature legend marcellus pittman. vino cheenese, as the title suggests, is a leftfield rumbler that, once finished, leaves you unsure how you got there - but sure you enjoyed the journey. oriental synths flutter over a pounding bassline, taking you from gloriously lo-fi, serene moments to being inundated with beats provided by a simmons sds8 and akai mpc1000 that puncture the surreal atmosphere. the pittman remix removes any pretence of serenity and has more of an eye on the dark end of the dancefloor. the bassline is rendered more ominous and the beats more relentless and distorted, while keeping the leftfield vibes in tact. ag pini brings in a lower tempo, with punching industrial yet melodic synths coming in and out of sparse rumbling beats it feels like a kraftwerk track if they had grown up in detroit. the springer is the hardest tune on the e.p – with layers upon layers of crunching beats surrounded by howling, swirling high end synths, looping in and out of each other, putting almost an entire history of dance music in one brutal track.

lowfreq77 is taking no prisoners as he steps up to deliver the second release on summa cum laude. the italian producer has only emerged in the past few years, despite having dedicated a great deal of his life to producing music. it was clearly worth the wait 1804 is the kind of fist thumping techno that leaves no body motionless as it rips its way through the dance in a hail of relentless claps and nagging synth hooks. rails meanwhile amps up the robert hood style twitchy loops, making this a techno record for those who like their beats pure and unrelenting.

music of color proudly presents its first offering from none other than the breakthrough artist duke hugh. the approaching lights ep compiles four undeniable offerings, each standing on its own, and provides another glimpse into to the mind of the eclectic and versatile dutch producer. on the intimate opener „a new beginning“ duke hugh opens up a dreamy state. with singing strings it s hauntology at its core. following this emotional ambient treasure, title track „approaching lights“ goes in with a steady 4/4 groove before decomposing through lush chords into a bassline monster that begs for attention in the dark hours. brightening up the b-side, „burning up“ is prime time material with sticky keys, sharp hi-hats and playful basslines. but it’s the final head-nod heater „broken samba“ which makes this ep such an undeniable no-brainer. led by latin percussion and stumbling drums it sounds like duke hugh pays homage to broken beat maestros without ever loosing his own sound signature. rhodes, synth-sweeps and guitar sprinkles make the ingredients for a funk opus that leaves you with a smile while leaving the night behind. can you see the light? limited first pressing in screenprinted cover with holy water gin infused color! edition of 500 early support from alexander nut, bradley zero, red greg, sassy j, thristian, delfonic, contours, hodini, borut cvajner…
