growing up in south yorkshire, mella dee’s early musical influences originated from the sounds coming out of warehouses in and around his stomping ground. this soon developed into a love of the burgeoning scene and audio palette from warehouse parties worldwide, hardcore, house, bleeps, techno and everything in between. with a respectful nod to the impact this had on him, aitchison strives to create his own take on warehouse music with his new project.
the debut sees mella dee present three upfront club cuts, his most energetic release to date. ‘&#8203,,,music controls you&#8203,,,’ is relentlessly compelling and trippy, with a rave stab lead, whilst ‘&#8203,,,expansion&#8203,,,’ uses acid sounds and percussion to build an outright techno groove designed for the deepest, darkest club moments. ‘&#8203,,,movement&#8203,,,’ closes the ep with a driving take on bleep and techno.

tokyo sapphire slows makes her debut for the always impeccable nous imprint and their new series mundus, with four exquisitely delicate, abstract studies in synthetic science. opener the role of purity is a mesmirising 11 plus minutes that drifts around in its own somnolent, stuporific terrain, gently fusing ambient devices into a seamless soundtrack. the b side sees a brace of slightly bolshier offerings in the form of speculation and mallets & marbles in which sapphire slows allows her machines to feel more mutinous, all the while savouring the sophistication of their euphony. the ep comes to a close with silent escape translucently stalking the eerie cosmos of electronica, outwardly tender, inwardly ferocious.

i did not know what achievements, what mockery, even what tortures awaited me. i knew nothing, and i persisted in the faith that the time of cruel miracles was not past. - stanislaw lem (solaris, 1961)
this paragraph from solaris, the novel written in 1961 by stanislav lem, is the starting point for the concept this 30drop album has been built upon. science fiction masters like lem are one of the greatest influences for the artist, who devised this album after the mental challenges that humans should overcome in a future: encounter with beings from other civilizations: capable of interacting with us in a totally unthinkable way so far.

making his debut appearance with the magic circles music label, smashed atoms lays down the law with a bubbly, warm and disco-inflected vision of contemporary house music for the groovier end of a warm up session. -holding on- bursts with positivity as chirpy organ stabs and plush pads swirl around the slow but strong rhythm section. -the people come together- meanwhile gets a late 80s boogie kink in its swagger, ramping up the bass and throwing in some powerful chord progressions to get the soul stirring. -wonderlust- finishes the ep off with a breezy, summer-ready jam for feel-good times in the sun or under the stars.

the canoe label comes to life with some rough and ready cuts for the wilder kind of dance, courtesy of nyra s gritty studio approach. having previously been found on the likes of never learnt, elastic dreams and more besides, there s no doubt the plucky producer has experience in the field, and the diversity of the styles on canoe 001 is testament to that. -d.a.t- is a stripped down machine workout that keeps things punchy and urgent throughout. -save lite- meanwhile is a wound-up, bleepy techno number with soul, and then -rexperiance- aims for the rave jugular with a stab-tastic lead and some crunchy breaks.

spatial cues is a series of split singles sounding out main(void)’s and kon janson’s shared musical space. operating out of berlin and london, the two artists join forces to showcase their mutual vision of techno music. cues001 starts off the series with two immersive yet driving tracks, both built upon breathing and soughing atmospheres that wrap themselves around clear-cut, straightforward rhythms. guided by bleepy accents, cues001 a takes you on a stormy 10 minute ride through subtly shifting layers of sound, revealing its hidden depths in two slowly climaxing breaks. steadily evolving towards its floating finale, cues001 b contrasts a mesmerising percussion pattern with a steaming machine sound that loses itself in endless feedback cascades.

in its five years dgtl has carved its style and sound worldwide as one of amsterdams staple dance music institutions. this year the organisation is deepening its focus and vision. therefore dgtl is launching its own imprint dgtl records. the label builds on the festivals musical theme of an evocative cross section of the sounds and styles showcasing forward thinking, cutting edge artists. the one to kick off the new imprint will be the bulgarian hardware wizard kink. best known for his live performances, teemed with explosive energy, which for a consecutive year puts him to the no.1 spot of live acts on ra poll, he is also one of houses most in demand producers. kink has worked with dgtl for quite some time, including last years audiovisual installation transmission tower, where the first track neutrino was born. the melodic neutrino , kicks off with syncopating bassline. its interconnecting layers organically jump over and under each other, reflecting the organic character of kinks live performances, where every knob touch and turn matters. on the latter, he built the b-sider dynamo: i loaded my favourite element from neutrino in my computer and i tweaked the sound through various weird devices in my studio, till it sounded like a completely new track. as usual, he added a few endless loops on the record, for the adventurous djs, exclusively for the 12inch. the idea for the dgtl records artwork is to feature a different visual/graphic artist from the dgtl art program every year starting with the cover from tim buiting and his graphical visual of the liege train station, designed by calatrava for this years releases.

vlad dinu opens mihai bravu s 1st release starting the audio journey with deep in my house, a track that occupies the entire a side, just like a proper tool should. as the name of the track hints, we find ourselves submerged in deep territory: a tight and groovy bass line, laced with a steady percussion, sprinkled with some 16bit arcade reminiscent accents and soothing intermingled vocal cuts. the deep vibe is crafty perpetuated by several synths at play, which together combine in such a way to add a wide atmospheric feel to the composition. definitely deep in my house sounds and feels more like of a 90’s tune, and while listening to it, one could easily find himself drift into the nostalgia of the good old days.
side b goes even deeper with two tracks defined by the notion of head tracks. gun zah continues the storyline with twisty percussive rhythms and a groovy atmosphere, tailored into a bangin floor choon while questions answered submerges the listener into layers of groovy basslines, swifty percs and milky synths, all put together into the form of a most alive track.

dub is the keyword, techno is the way. the very first autarchy release represents a rapidly and constantly changing momentum. there is a black and white atmosphere that surrounds the whole vinyl four-tracker. the skilled italian duo alpi make their mark on the a side, together with the wrong assessment darker reinterpretation, shaped around solid textural processing and raw rhytmatics. it s mainly a techno release, yet xdb delivers his own breakbeatish and more reflective vision of the b side, produced by label artists complementary opposites. the label is at the moment under the radar, working through a connection operating into events, music production and label management in between italy and germany.
