with his debut ep >swinger<, the multitalent from central germany now wants to conquer the club scene. as dj and event-manager he already has filled the dancefloors. now his songs should do likewise. inspired by the infamous clarinet-grooves of the roaring twenties and biting trombones >swinger< connects the organic sound of hand-played instruments with crunching techno beats.
the album exhausts the composition always a little bit more danceable, thanks to original instrumentation. but it is more than only dj-tools for the turntables. as the six tracks on >swinger< no second run out of ideas, it will effortlessly earn a wider audience.
italian producer joe drive serves you his first ep for 4lux. and what an excellent ep this is. deep house tracks with a true analogue feel. rain dance is an exquisite deep house bomb with smart tr707 drum programming, deep driving bassline and disco-ish vibes. title song junopolis is dedicated to the legendary juno synths and shows you capabilities of these machines in clever fashion. alden tyrell brings you the extremely deep remix for tefnut: steady drum programming with spaced out synth filtering and dubby tape delays. this is one for the heads for sure. joe drives original is included too. recomended!

white marbled vinyl . >wisdom< comes from consequence and asc who provide 2 thinking mans dancefloor tunes. >noisy spirits in this soul< sees consequence conjure up memories of classic jonny l and spirit and marry them in a bottom heavy juggernaut that has been the chosen opening tune of label boss preshas dj sets for several months. >snow wolf< is a longtime personal favorite of loxy, and shows asc in devastating form flexing his ability to chop a break with the best of them. pinned by a brittle, shuddering bottom end, this tune brings the past to the future in a way only a handful of artists in drum and bass are able to in 2012. >wisdom< is a deep understanding and realization of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgements and actions in keeping with this understanding.

before the release of his debut album on ki, monokle throws in an ep to show us what to expect. the beautiful track >swan< pretty much describes perfectly what monokle means when he says that simple rhythms and catchy beats get him bored quickly. being influenced by the music of the british imprint warp for example, the sankt petersburg based artist has pretty much developed his own interpretation of well, what should it be called? it is monokle! he has his very own aesthetic approach to music and has a very fine hand for sublime melodies and atmospheres. on the b side he teams up with his friend and partner milinal. >swan< gets a proper retouch by daisuke tanabe, who shares monokles deep soundscapes and is just the right member of the ki family to get his hands on this ep.

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.
our friends at kiara records prepare the very first release in their new knock knock series. a collection of vinyl eps that explore the very depths of electronic music. dubby, deep and deadly. first up is eighteen year old french producer, medeew.
ununhexium (r-n 116) is the sixth release of raster-noton unun series. emptyset is a bristol based project formed in 2005 by james ginzburg, di- rector of the multiverse studios and the curator and electronic artist paul pur- gas. the project explores the legacy of analogue media, integrating aspects of rhythm, signal processing and spatial recording within the framework of mini- malist composition. their work interrogates the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to em- bed and codify themselves within sound. collapsed is emptysets first release on raster-noton and investigates the threshold where sonic structure is destabilized to the point where a chaotic order emerges out of a resistance to fragmentation and likewise explores the potential contained within this liminal space of transition. across the four tracks of the release a structural grammar is defined and then pushed to excess to the point where it reforms from repetitive and stable frameworks into non-grid based forms and ultimately chaotic rule sets.
wncl recordings enters the next phase of its release programme. having issued a neat collection of ten 10 inch singles, the label now launches a series of 4 track 12 inch eps. first up is a showcase featuring 4 new cuts by 4 of the labels cornerstone artists. l.a.s don froth comes out fighting with the hard-as-nails liftin weights, while milyoo from kentucky gets frantic on the raucous pancake. se27s own west norwood cassette library offers up what it is (mah vip), originally created for mz. hobbs radio 1 show. rounding things off from toronto, knowing looks gives us cytal fink, angular funk for all discerning discotheques. we hope you will enjoy our show.

ig cultures holy rollers label comes correct with two fiery, teched-out funky bombs from major notes. the >o beasity ep< is his debut on holy roller and one of the freshest funky 12 inches we have heard in 2012 - not watered down or some tepid attempt at house proper. >rokit< works out some killer tribalist polyrhythms and batty-squeezing bass pressure laced with shades-on synth beams on the a-side, up there with the likes of funkystepz or ill blu, while >o beasity< gets overlarge on the flip, wrangling martial snares, tribal calls and hard-bodied bass with the ruffest intent.
