sorunda remixes by donato dozzy, claudio prc, korridor and svreca.

first up here is kenloto, a chunky bit of bass driven house with crisp perc. it builds to a nice tense peak with lots of loose, jumbled textures and will make for a fine bit of peak time listening. the other original is whack, which is another tough house cut with firm bass, old school new jersey snare patterns and rolling drums that are rich, warm and rubbery. miguel lobo s remix is a more spritely thing with lithe chords, colourful synths and and a pent up energy that just never stops giving. closing out the fantastic package is paul c & paulo martini who remix kenloto into a trippy affair with ghoulish voices, hard hitting drums and lots of dark wave energy that will carry you late into the night.

*sintetizzatrice* is the first recorded document of the newly founded collaboration between spectrum spools veteran donato dozzy and female vocalist anna caragnano.
though his solo work, and in his collaboration with giuseppe tilleci as voices from the lake, dozzy has achieved some of the most remarkable vistas contemporary electronic music has seen in the last decade. by removing himself from his areas of mastery to shift his focus on the voice, he has achieved a new peak. *sintetizzatrice* is the first work on spectrum spools featuring anna caragnano, a vocalist based in rome.

midgar is proud to introduce a newcomer for the third release. a great debut for the maltese cloned, delivering not less than 4 cuts with sapphire 1990 e.p. the record, way more straightforward and groove centered than the previous midgar outputs, opens with sapphire 1990, track that sounds like very nostalgic memories from a timeless rave. thanks to a genuine simplicity and the great arrangement of its elements, this first cut has the perfect characteristics to become a dancefloor anthem. on the same side, a live out-take from cloned’s repertory, the pendulum swinging synth-lines which dominate pretty direct rhythmics filled with hi-hats and claps over a costant background noise. belgassem as the first cut on the b side, is an absolutely heavy one for the label’s standards, made of deep kickin’ drums and haunting voices empowered by a really strong and obsessive acid-line. closing the vinyl, the slow (and again really acidic) submerging is like a lysergic vessel headed to more comfortable dimensions, where groovy drums are embraced by very bright heavenly pads. sudden death is instead a chilled-out broken beat interrupted by confused speeches and detroitish pads, resulting as a modern ritual of ascension towards higher spheres. corel drives the release to the end, recalling most of its main features: a restless run through misty soundscapes along a path studded of bells and overwhelming, sharp hi-hats.

12 releases strong already, a:rpia:r has been silent for the last 2 years, since petre inspirescu’s gradina onirica hit the shelves of your favourite record shop. it is now raresh’s turn to release something special and indeed he did. vivaltu is an old gem, a subtle uplifting track driven by a powerful resonator, perfect for that “special moment”. the male mumbling voices provide the track with that extra eclectic feel. this is in fact raresh’s only track on vivaltu ep, the rest are remixes. side b presents a minimal house interpretation remix by none other than chilean legend and friend, ricardo villalobos. the resonator is still here but in come some childish voices to make it all perfect. perfect for the dancefloor. side c brings forward another member of the a:rpia:r family, none other than contemporary wizard petre inspirescu. his take has a very cinematic approach, building and building for 4 minutes before the kick even starts. the rich percussive atmosphere is completed with a brilliant melody reminiscent of his classical experiments. this track is an absolute masterpiece ! aloe varu is the third chosen for this remix pack and indeed he was chosen wise. his stripped down remix spans for 13 minutes and completes the story of a:rpia:r 13.

the firth release on the ever impressive boso imprint comes from atelier francesco, with few nolder returning to the label to deliver a stunning remix. a peak time electronic masterpiece, the highly distinct *akaino* starts on the dark tip we have come to expect from the boso catalogue, subtly building into a chorus of wholly uplifting synths and choir voices.

the album evokes the deadening american landscapes of school shootings, military suicides & societal dissolution. written and recorded in a crappy apartment in north hollywood while surrounded by poverty, drug abuse and suicide. a dynamic lp that covers a lot of ground in its 45 minutes: ethereal voices, techno rhythms, blasts of electronics. released in an edition of 200 on 180 gram vinyl with unique silk screened sleeves and stamps, color print insert and download code.

when dfc team (persi, collino & gemolotto) started their atahualpa project techno music was far to be a cool trend in the venues. even more innovative was to mash up acoustic, electronic, traditional instruments as peruvian panflutes and synthesizers while evocative voices drive listeners to the world of last inca emperor. it was in 1990 when ultimo imperio by atahualpa topped in several countries around the world becoming a milestone in the dance music history. nearly twentyfive years later dfc label releases 4 amazing new remixes and the story goes on

the maaskant polychoral style was a type of music of the late modern electronics and early indie eras which involved spatially separate voices singing in alternation. it represented a major stylistic shift from the prevailing polyphonic writing of the early electronic generation, and was one of the major stylistic developments of the 90s which led directly to the formation of what we now know as the pure modern style. a commonly encountered term for the separated analog choirs is cori analogici spezzati — literally, phased choirs. the a-side, featuring eyo olokun, signifies unfathomable deep grooves. that is, the instinct that there is something worth knowing, perhaps more than can ever be learned, especially this bassline that most people spend a lifetime pondering.

there are few names in dance music today which need less of an introduction than masters at work. the ground-breaking project of louie vega and kenny dope, masters at work forged a reputation for genre eschewing dj sets and flawless house production throughout their extraordinary careers, while their influence and reach changed house forever.

the next bleep release comes in the form of spaces debut ep, one. showcasing a wide range of styles and production talent, the ep opens with the frantic rush of beats and hushed voices of *apologies* before a reese-like bassline slices through the mix, coming across like a darkside snd remix. next up is *outside in* bridging the gap between edmx style electro-funk & gescom-style glitch. on the flip we are presented with *lever*, a broken techno track of the highest calibre, chopped snares and a off-kilter acid line whipped together to devastating effect while the ep’s coda, *in wait* combines a kaleidoscope of beats transported through an ambient techno mainframe before fading into oblivion. sounding like no other, this new artist makes his mark with clean rhythmic programming set against dirty compressed textures. the first in a series of releases, expect to hear a lot more from spaces. the vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies worldwide.

the second longplayer from porter robinson as double vinyl with download code included.

demarzos sound is a meticulously crafted one. his toxic perfectionism and shrewd sense of rhythm lead him naturally to where he is today. his well-revised sets include anything from underground deep house to main room deep tech. after releases on hot creations, noir, glasgow underground or loulou records to name a few, arrives to sincopat with two secret weapons. holster is a cheeky but solid track which brings together groove and melody. analogue synths being added, it also presents changing voices all the way. for the remix, walker & royce take the deep way with a dry kick and sinister notes. pay attention to the astonishing breakdown. trigger is the second original track, in the same language than holster, and using some classic groovebox bullets. ramiro lopez, one of the sincopats golden boys, after his bedrock release, offers two fresh versions with different treatments.

like stepping into a warm electronic sound bath, chaim’s latest release for visionquest ripples with pulsing sonic textures and propels forward at a softly galvanic pace as the slowly emerging melody takes hold in underwater. b side remember when is just as compelling - a slightly tougher edge and darkly euphoric atmosphere injected with sporadic chimes, disembodied voices and dramatic synth stabs. this is a truly hypnotising release.

the highly talented producer gardens of god is up next to release on the blossoming boso imprint with epic gluek. the three track ep takes you on an emotive journey that delves into the deep and dark with luscious pads and powerful melodies creating a vast tapestry of warm rounded sounds to stimulate the senses on the dancefloor.

medical records presents two of the most striking and iconic reissues in its catalog. the lp though 2 years after since the accident continues to carry the torch illustrating the evolving transition between experimental structure and loops into the catchy pop hooks that would later define such releases as rotund for success. this lp seems to move slightly into darker territory in general with its synth textures and slower tempo tracks but overall has a nice continuation feel from since the accident yet with obvious technological evolutions.

sol asylum is back with their third release, this time around a various artist ep featuring tracks from friends and family members dana ruh, miss jools, and patrice meiner. this solid collection delivers a heavily swung slice of style and class without ever losing its straightforward dance floor attitude. the ep gets a proper start with dana ruhs >overcome<.a modern take on forward thinking house music with a cleverly swinging groove, pulsating filtered synths and provocatively soul stirring voices. all the rhythmical elements mold and evolve the track into a vibrant and energetic gem. next stop on our journey brings us to patrice meiners >uva< a broken beat dedication to his mother with fiery snares, atmospherically floating ghost like synths, intricately pitched hi-hat patterns and a tightly woven groove that is the signature sound weve all come to know and love from him. last but certainly not least is our trusted resident of sol asylum miss jools with >calamity cloud<. mysterious voices speak to us with an infinite realm of hovering synths, a playful but complex groove, driving hats, then a finely crafted layout brings us to alternate states between light and darkness creating a perfect balance that reminds us of a cloudy berlin day.

after quenums debut album, the richly textured and atmospheric masterpiece * face to face*, serialism prepares to release a striking remix package featuring three distinct voices in electronic music. * basic solution*s raw fluid energy is encased in a pulsing, staccato framework by cesare vs disorder as the meandering bassline emerges and gives way to the original distorting synth line. 5am is first given a more pumping dancefloor sheen by tiefschwarz and next a typically epic and mindbending journey from mathew jonson. lastly frank haag delivers a spooky rework of * ritual* that tightens the groove into a rolling hypnotic head trip that will also move the floor.

revealed last year as a side project by uk producer shifted, covered in sand now returns with a new ep: crescent shaped scars will be released on the sister label of his own avian imprint mira, which serves as an outlet for the more experimental and duskier side of electronic music. the release features three abrasive noise workouts. thud of drums and ritualistic rhythms define the opener luarica on the a-side alongside a near-melodic whine that stays present throughout the tracks. orapa (an interview) on the flip swallows and evokes scuffed voices of a conversation, striving into isolation, while venetia resumes the haunting rhythm and layers of distortion. as per previous mira releases, the artwork is done by juan mendez aka silent servant

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

vin sol & matrixxman return with their second double-header of remixes of one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, revisiting two of the hallowed songstress classics from the 80s. first up is the beautiful *never thought* which has been given the remix treatment many times before due to the accapella being on the original 12 inch. here vs & m add early 90s house flourishes - warm pads, deep chords and the original vocal seeping in and out of the mix, whilst elements slowly start to build up for what is a pretty ecstatic house rework of a classic. simple and effective. fans of innervisions wont be disappointed! on the flip, *love is stronger* is a mellower take on one of her signature hits. sticking to a cool 110 bpm tempo, it has got a bubbly, woozy late sunday afternoon vibe emanating from the first 4 bars. another solid rework from the vin sol & matrixxman camp!

once again showing their appreciation for forward-thinking music and supporting think-outside-the-box sounds, the latest ep on hold youth opens up the boundaries of electronic music and offers something more. the opening track sample n 909 has been injected with pure funk and sets the scene for the rest of the release, which maintains that groove throughout. well selected vocals can be found in the soulful harmonising of those voices or the smooth-speaking that makes rainbow slices the most mellow of the package. ending the b side with no more pretty, a joint stripped down to essential kick and high hats, you can feel the full strength of the funk once again as the jazzy keys enter… s3a is a breakthrough dj/producer from paris and resident of the illustrious concrete parties.
