last year saw the mysterious garage shelter make their debut appearance on skylax, and little is still known about them! all we know is they are back with some freshness on the skylax classic sublabel. first up is bring back love, a track that will sink its claws in with that infectious vocal sample hook. sticking with the old school sample vibe is the lonely heart dub of attempt, it’s a bit more mellow but still has plenty of groove in it. friend of the garage shelter, dj la foudre, appears over on the b side with it’s alright (signal st mix). still on that catchy sample tip, it features one of the grooviest bassline and funky guitar pairings i’ve heard in a long time. next up, perception 66 is a smooth house affair from yet another friend, asa no hikari. rounding out the package is garage shelter’s own you (still), a dreamy pad-driven track that may indeed be the pick of the release. while we don’t know much about garage shelter, we can’t help but look forward to what they come out with next!

25 jahre alt, geboren, aufgewachsen und beheimatet in berlin, aber zuhause im club. nitams debüt retold ep (u-ton 06) setzte 2015 bereits den ton – und hier sind wir nun also, drei katalognummern und 14 monate später mit seiner zweiten 12- auf unterton. dieses release verfolgt eine ähnliche linie wie schon sein erstling: neue, variierte sonische motive mit einem frischen gesamtklang. trotz seines noch jungen alters zeichnet nitam erneut sein interesse an dance music der späten achtziger und frühen neunziger nach, präsentiert sich geschult an klassischem detroit house und chicago acid house, ohne sich aber selbst auf eine bestimmte klangpallette zu limitieren oder gewisse musikalische erwartungen zu bedienen.

houndstooth präsentiert das debütalbum des aufsehen erregenden jungtalents guy andrews. dieser ignoriert gängige dj-strukturen, tempi und mixdowns und erzeugt aus präziser percussion und schwankenden verzerrungen ein werk, das trotz - oder gerade wegen - des paradigmenwechsels der zeit stand hält. dabei erreicht die klangliche aggression der 12 tracks eine sensibilität und zielstrebigkeit, die dem album eine tiefe verleiht, die üblicherweise auf albumlänge schwierig durchzuhalten ist.

a quest for form which is never static and accompanied by two constants - repetition and reduction. reduction requires repetition in order to make the intangible tangible for man. this repetition also stimulates our perception and helps us find an inner self while illuminating towards the primal thought. another synonym for *intangible* is *not human* - for the most reductive of primal thoughts, sprung from fractal chance, does not deal with human beings but with a formal language that is universal, drawing from the innermost, and only becomes tangible in accidental, fortuitous moments.

four tracks of intelligent sound framework, engineered for elevated perception

commodity place project is back with two masterful compositions wrapped in a special colorful ep. the duo composed by roman musicians massimiliano loretucci (computer and synths) and riccardo frosoni (guitar and percussions) has set two amazing tracks letting the mind and body to travel far away till the most unreachable and undefined horizons of psychedelic music. on side a, >multifrequency behaviour of high energy cosmic sources< develops an intense journey into a nebulous space dimension where a wide range of fluffy cosmic echoes are stratified and stretched to the infinity, while human perception is totally kidnapped by ancestral voice effects. straight to the unknown ambient paradise. the endless 12 minutes of >ahura mazda< fill entirely the b side. a melodic start up loop on a mild 4/4 downtempo pace prepares the well coming of an outstanding solo guitar excursion with some psy-synths on background for a piece of music that we can literally define as an extraordinary psychedelic / krautrock symphony. so, now you are in. but remember: over the mystic mountains another earth could be found.

>hi-tide lo-fi< can be read like a sonic map. but instead of a static picture its a growing and evolving concept of explored and lived in space. every space creates its own sound. not only because of the physical premises of a place do we experience sounds differently but also because of our perception and construction of space. and as each sound does have an individual meaning to us so does each space. our identity is directly linked to our access to sound and space. benjamin brunn is questioning these access possibilities and offers us a soundscape of fluxing indentity. within a timeless sound lies the opportunity of liberated being.

r-zone is a new label launched by global darkness. who is involved isn t exactly a secret, those who feel so inclined can piece the information together quite easily. it is however irrelevant to the concept of r-zone, which would like to shift the focus away from namedropping and perception based on hype around individual artists and bring it back where it belongs, in the lap of the music.

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).

off we go with some proper house music: four deep rumpshakers by brett johnson (dallas) of panhandle, aesoteric and seasons fame. >self service< is the more energetic cut and is guaranteed to rock while >perception<, >heartbeats< (with demarkus lewis) and >we re gonna move< are the added swinging smoothies who are guaranteed to rock as well, only deeper.
