lft has already made a sizable impact on his gnarly, muscular brand of weathered electro and techno, and now hes been snapped up by zement to deliver another four rowdy roundhousers. nucleon channels the best of minimal wave and gives it a deadly dose of modern acid revelry that will incite fevered responses on the floor, while wounds takes things in a spookier b-movie direction without shaking off those powerful 303 demons. the cure for my kind manifests as a kind of nightmarish electro, and hypno haniwa takes another route into machine funk for malevolent souls, with stunning results.

from a fascinating yet relatively undiscovered era of experimental music in peru s capital city lima, this never before released split single features two of the foremost musical minds of modern day tropical, electronic and ambient roots music. one song each was plucked from the archives of mutual friends los palteados (tomas tello) & la sonora roza (efraín rozas / la mecanica popular), offering a rare glimpse into the musicians respective productions and group projects at the onset of the 21st century. the pair of selected recordings each have their own hypnotic sensibility, yet both remain blissfully approachable experimentations in the beloved styles of cumbia & descarga.

thomas leer was mainly active in the late 70s and early 80s, dropping two singles on cherry red that provided the source material for the two original tracks on this emotional rescue reissue 12-. opener -saving grace- is a rich, bombastic blast of synthwave, all chugging arps and massive leads, while -tight as a drum- heads into more psychedelic territory, using strange gating techniques and deft fx to create a wondrous, shimmering bed for leer s poetic chat over the top. bringing an inventive angle to the release, the label signed bullion up for two wonderfully warm, wobbly remixes. honing in on the weirder qualities of leer s work, these modern interpretations make a perfect bridge from the old to the new - highly recommended!

a rhythmically pulsating quadrivium, the fragments of reference ep distils four disturbed takes on deeply unnatural sound in a 4/4 framework. cavorting around themes of self-actualization, denial, inevitability and fate, the ep goes to great lengths to reflect our modern predicament. techno clairvoyance.

travel agents for inner journeys seahawks take us on a voyage ever deeper into the new age vortex. their last album ‘escape hatch’ described by vice as a ‘modern masterpiece’ only hinted at the transcendent power of seahawks music. eternal beams goes ‘further’ to create a whole new harmonial experience. side one: the listener immersed in a soft storm of tape saturated raindrops and distant thunder…numinous waves of sound cascade to create whirlpools of womb-like warmth with gentle pulsations. side two: enter laraaji… flocculent flows of golden zither, rich vocal vibrations, dolphin tones in phantasy phase - all coalesce generously, bringing feelings of rebirth and light. to conclude: a wondrous journey of resonant oscillations, inner exploration, a portal to other dimensions.#

ion ludwig is a leading light in contemporary minimal house, able to elicit fresh approaches from a well-worn club music template. he lands back on baby ford s trelik label with a chunky double pack of beautifully crafted rollers for the stripped down dance, leading in with the subliminal murmurs of -fall answers- and following it up with the incredibly groovy, bass-led -modern missing mood-. -le imagen- gets into a more wriggling, crafty configuration, while -felt like klariny space- lets trippy daubs of melody take centre stage. -sparse hypnotimes- does what it says on the tin, simmering down to a mellow, dubby haze of blue-hued keys and a slither of a beat.

ltd 2019 repress , black vinyl - for all the acid that is coming out through this so-called -acid revival- i was somehow missing the good old hook of the 90s acid-techno tracks. after countless requests to do some new acid again it finally clicked with me and i had this - in my opinion - great acid hook to jump along to for the acid to the future track. i really love this one and it could ve been big in the 90s i guess...so hopefully this will click with the listeners also today :-) acid funk and acid jaxx pretty much speak for themselves and are funky groovin acid tracks with a more modern touch mixed with the old vibe flavour. machine banger is definitely on the harder side and was done for ferox this is acid... nothing else- va compilaton on kobayashi.hands up and have fun... we love and release on vinyl !
