john tejada & justin maxwell are at it again with a new 3 song ep. following in the footsteps of their classic release >mindbend<, the duo continues their unique approach to collaboration using a hardware modular synth setup. the title track >our gigantic mistake< is a unique blend of 808 beats and screaming modular synth lines. the b sides >whoops (there it is)< and >wheres the cable?< explore a darker side of dark acidic late night techno.

the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

grinch presents a collection of deep productions with dark, spaced-out tone, for his first solo ep. the title track sets the mood with a minimal, devilish bouncing shimmer, that grows into a subby monster in no time. the vibe changes with pulling teeth dropping us into a spacious ambience, with ghost tones of varying frequencies. on the flip, genjutsu, a heart pumping rhythm with knife edge minimal percussion. the final tune, 1:45am is reminiscent of a dark sci-fi nightmare scene and followed by waking up in a terrifying, cold sweat. together the tracks teeter along the lines of techno with dubstep influences.

as dmob said in the early 1988 we call acid - the musical phenomenon that makes you want to dance, that puts you in a trance, that move you to the beat. in 2012 a turin mysterious artist know as a.m.b. ( acid music band ) decided to follow the way to acid music, inspired by the acid guru as virgo or tyree cooper and the first techno workers as underground resistance or juan atkins he produced two tracks only with analog instruments and acid attitude. acid music band sounds like an orchestra, the man is the music director and the machines are the players. we are young so we asked help from an old expert… directly from the chi-city, ricardo miranda contributed to create an overall ep with his fantastic boogie remix. old and young records.. we love acid too.

the dirty dutch! anticlub a notorious collective from eindhoven, the southern capital of holland, was inspired to push itself into a new direction. the inspiration came from a painting by an old lady that drew the attention and gave the impulse to create the album freaks and followers. as the title suggests there are two kinds of people, people who take risks and people who do not. as anticlub used to be a risk-taker but slowly settled in an unwanted comfort zone, this created dissatisfaction and led to a creative standstill. seeing the painting everything became clear again. one should not stand still but keep moving and evolve oneself into new areas that one has not yet explored creatively. as lessismore is from the same dutch city, this state of mind also hit the lessismore label, which inevitable resulted in both parties joining forces to release this diverse album by a former underground techno crew called anticlub. as the lessismore label is known for its typically styled techno, lessismore was searching for a new impulse sound wise and visually, to ensure creative satisfaction in the years to come. with this album everything came together and the lessismore crew reunited to renew their input into the label, which was once founded to be a creative platform and an artistic journey and in retrospective clearly not a platform where one should repeat itself time after time. freaks and followers is an 8 track album with raw electronic based music combined with a variety of vocal work by different new anticlub members. the overall feel of the album is a dark punky attitude that reminds of the good old days of rave, which in the early nineties dominated the dutch club and party scene. this period can be defined as being careless and not taking credibility into account, trying new things, being blunt and just partying your hart out. being older this is a feeling that will never have to die, proved by the old lady whose painting was used as the art-work of the album release.

dark and spooky techno bomb, incl nihad tule remix (drumcode)

6 tracks on this final part of svrecas >obscur< series. 2 new tracks and old ones remixed by silent servant, skirt, regis and orphx. and its some serious techno business here! recommended!

b-tracks debut at the end of last year was a runaway smash, gone in a flash. the come back ep is another deadly round of deep, real dance music from the two new yorkers, schooled in vintage gotham and detroit house and techno, freshly to the manor born — driving, dub-wise, bare-bones, soulful, and melodic, by turns. once again, dont sleep on it.

its been a full 12 inch months since luca bacchettis remix of david alvarados >klugh”<blazed its trail here on ovum. so what better way for us to ramp up the temperature in these cold winter months than to welcome our great friend back with his latest double-header. now residing in barcelona, the tuscan has enjoyed yet another successful year. whilst luca turned his hand to a&r ing and enjoying great success with the signings for his own hideout label, he also impressed again with his own work for the likes of wagon repair, defected and crosstown rebels. having opened the year with a serious slice of techno, luca leads ovum back to house as he presents two beautifully warm sun-drenched numbers. the bongo-heavy >on the moon with you < has us dreaming of summer as it bathes us in spine-tingling synths, beautiful melodies and dreamy vocals. from the balearic sounds of the title track to the african rhythms and inspirations of >high life<. high life is a track laden with vocal samples, and powered by its potent piano riff

imugem orihasam, offers a deep and introspective relation ep continuing the sistrum tradition of quality underground sounds for the true appreciators. track a1 - relation sets the tone right away, with soothing strings guiding a classic rhythm section into hypnotic territory. slowly, a tapestry of delicate textures evolves around the beats - sure to be the soundtrack to many a late night dancefloor. close your eyes and get inside your mind with this one. track b1 - “mirage” continues down the path of hypnotic, deep techno laid out on relation, toughening up the beats just a bit, with a subby kick and crisp back beat that gives it some extra punch. swirling, phasing strings and metallic, ring modulated tones float above a sub bassline that is sure to make things rumble. this is pure love from japan. track b2 - overlap lights (p. scott edit) - sistrum’s main man, patrice scott, steps in to offer his interpretation of imugem’s “overlap lights,” bringing forth his signature ultra deep, slow building future/classic detroit sound. patrice’s edit is a warm, delicate, masterful arrangement of imugem’s tones and textures - there never seems to be too much going on, just enough to convey his intended message, ever-so-effectively. clutter is left by the wayside and the listener is left with the perfect palette of sonic delights.

after spending the last few years painting in train yards across france and europe, clio now focuses on music. he describes his own productions as fun while at the same time signifying deep meaning.

spank rock feat. big freedia - nasty remixes taken from the album:everything is boring & everyone is a f—ing liar (produced by boys noize) on the peak of the succesful wave of spank rocks sophomore effort, everything is boring and everyone is a fucking liar, boysnoize records proudly presents spank rocks latest single called nasty featuring the undisputed queen diva of bounce music - big freedia and hooked up by the lady herself tyette. nasty is the pure extraction of an eccentric and intimate bounce track twisted, filthy, party- and sexdriven, its bound to make even the grumpiest person dance like there is no tomorrow. this pearl of goodness comes in 2 different mixes by bnrs youngest discovery scntst, who turned the original track into a dark techno/dubstep hybrid giving you goose bumps. both, are clearly one of the best mixes done by scntst so far. also alex ridha was more than impressed and picked scntst voal-remix of his favorite rapper, just edited it and made this nasty tune even more effective!addison groove, also known as headhunter, of 50 weapons fame has graced us with two reworks of nasty. both expose his passion for experimental broken up sounds. he keeps it real by emphasizing the deep and heavy bass in the track. sebastian’s dtf dadt remix is a dirty dubstep gem, which we can already see fitting right in in underground clubs and big international venues. what a bonus!

marking the release of their debut album ‘dream cargoes‘, tj kong & modular k present ‘end-game‘, the first single to be lifted off the cd on poker flat. shuffling and sparkling with urgent, peak-time electronic disco vibes, ‘end-game‘ is one of the calling cards from their album, which as it happens is jammed packed with stand-out cuts. freaking and peaking over almost 10 minutes, the pair are not afraid of fully exploring and expanding a jam until they have worked it as much as possible! the pumping reference remix leads us into even bigger room zones as an old school techno vibe lifts us up and carries us into the late night. strong, rushing and full of tension, this mix is a guaranteed festival goosebumb moment!

whatever the case may be, >brother from another planet< is a giddily kaleidoscopic beast of an ep that further cements andreas already sturdy reputation as a preeminent mediator of organic yet minimalistic techno.
