jay bliss is our first ever romanian signing. there has been a influx of superb romanian producers over the last years including a:rpia:r and the trend continues with bliss and his hermanndstadt collective. developing a style sitting somewhere between house and techno, with strong detroit roots he has released for the likes of immigrant, hudd trax and diynamic. pluto has been a staple of ralph lawsons sets for a while now, its a smooth and crisp tech house roller that recalls classic 2020 releases gone by, especially those of carl finlows. on the flip weve turned to skudge to give us their own take on pluto. weve been fans of skudge since they dropped their first single, and have had us transfixed with their excursions into pure analogue, loopy, dub techno ever since. their version of pluto is a different beast to the original, all stuttering percussion and menacing strings, a perfect counterbalance to the original version

the dawn ep is the debut release of markey alias sander markey. who recently settled down in berlin, after he was living and working as dj and producer in gent, belgium. now he comes up with four really playful tracks. here he shows his affection for funky grooves and soulful voices. with support from mz. sunday luv, who gave her voice for a freaky intermezzo on dawn, the ep starts offensively. the repetitive groove and the marching 303 bass drum toped with a dark demanding voice have a mystic massage. as contradiction to it you hear a charming dirty string ensemble and an odd delayed snare crushing the monotony. spring break as well as in the shade, the last made in coop with robyns alias yannick robyns, have definitely the warmer funky attitude. playing around with a bobby mcferrin vocal sample and bringing out the soul. facing the clouds is closing the ep as rather melodic and atmospheric track.

hypeltd are happy to introduce another new talent in the form of j. alvarez. it is a name you wont know yet, but the man behind it – seattle based producer chris 214 – has already made a name for himself with some rude electro, techno and even ghetto tech releases on in-the-know labels like frustrated funk (a subsidiary of clone) harbour city sorrow (and again) and others. now, though, he is on a house tip, and it is for that reason that he has assumed this new moniker…
continuing in the tradition of offering up sounds a little less accessible than its older hypercolour brother, hypeltd seems to have once again unearthed a producer more than worthy of popular attention.

as the range, james hinton has released previously on astro nautico, alongside other such rhythmic alchemists as obey city (now signed to lucky me), time wharp and howse (now signed to tri angle) as well as appearing on remix duties for kuhn on the london based civil music label. outside of this moniker he released >cower<, a full length under the alias stegosaurus, on his own sqwal recordings imprint.
operating out of providence ri, james hinton fuses snapshots of global electronic music into a heady brew of deep sub bass, rattling footwork drums, juiced up junglism and dirty south rap beats. here we present the five track >disk< release, bristling with frenetic energy, complex percussion and cerebral melodies – >disk< is as suitable for the home as it is for the club and marks the latest evolution of the range sound.

now, a year after he celebrated the success of his lp good morning midnight, niko schwind ups the heat on stil vor talent with the versatile we are the future ep that showcases a specatacular sonic progression while remaining true to what niko does best: melodic house music. on all i want, niko lures you into a deep abyss aided by a straight groove and rapid vocal stutters until a swampy bassline, subtle piano melodies and a promiscuous female voice swallow you to the point of no return. beautifully melancholic, yet floorfriendly, this a1 is bound to leave its mark on international dance floors!

when discussing producers with consistently good outputs, few compare with jan driver. just pulled out his debutalbum amatilda last year, jan driver again dished out an extra tasty and promising morsel: this one-shot named peaker comes with a gigantic brightness in sound and is not less than a slammy hand-clapping celebratory basher. the and heavy subbasses are literally all over the place. jan driver signatures for sure! it has the exact fair amount of tension a track needs to sound excited and to infect your eardrum. on the flip side, action flowers rework pad the track with a golden summerdress, adding a magnificent arpeggio sequence so perfectly complementary to the original sound, its shimmering all the way to the solar system.peaker is proven to be one of our favourite summer releases in 2012 thus far, with its take on a slower beat and more of a late night come-down vibe apparent. you know that feeling when you hear that perfect song for the first time? well, it just happened. twice. weve got goosebumps. were feverish. were sweaty.time for the summer to come. now we impatiently wait. were just a little excited, you know?

well, here is his first album proper >digital native<, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seems to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it is no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes.
double 12 inch vinyl, including code for free mp3 download of the album.

highlive are introducing themselves with an interesting mixture of musical visions thru their first ep accurately titled >a thing called fusion<. its title track is an elegant melting of bass lines, easy highs and simple melody conduction. yet you never get annoyed nor are you expecting jim morrison to open a door, but it happens. there is a psychedelic touch when you least expect it.

tony ollivierras issued a generous number of singles and eps under the ibex moniker on rushhour, planet e, yore, and his own ibex music, and now follows up his 2010 yore release, meltdown, with absolution, though this time under his birth name. no matter: ollivierras music sounds great, whether issued under his real name or an alias, and absolution is no exception. the infectious title cut gets things moving with a bass-powered blend of claps and funky rhythms before chunky house chords and silken synth figures add to the tracks multi-layered splendour. a jazzier dimension rises to the surface of quick release when the tunes churning hi-hats are joined by royally swinging electric piano playing and luscious synth pads.phase down opts for a purer deep house sound in its focus on kick drums, claps, and futuristic synths, though the track proves that ollivierras naturally funky side cant help but emerge, here as it does elsewhere.
