a remix package which well represent the multifaceted approach of midgar to techno. edit-select opens with a long and groovy rework of lost in the instability , keeps the peculiar synth & basslines of the original cut, and goes further, carrying those elements to deeper dimensions. synthek delivers a stabbing remix of nibelheim , a killer techno cut where powerful broken beats continuously crash into the heaviest sonic waves. alba was originally an interlude solely composed of ambient sounds and ephemeral voices, which evolved with luigi tozzi s interpretation into a sweet and melancholic trip. wata igarashi to close the record, re-imagines pulse width as a mind-stressing experience held in a frame of hollow drones.

dear wanderer, ramona is happy to present the video dead, chinaski s debut-­ep for live at robert johnson. originally hailing from the high north of germany, rostock near the rough and stormy sea, the young man with interests in 80s video-­aesthetics and vintage synthesizers is now calling offenbach his home­turf. chinaskis ep starts out with time to kill, a straight forward hypnotizing jacker directly heading to the synthesized happiness. midnight workout features a different side to the young talent sensitive placed synth harmonies packed in a vintage-­pop interlude. after a journey through more harmonious domains, night school turns the page again and picks up on those synth-waves and put ramona away from her calm drive through the midnight heat, right on the dancefloor mesmerizing analogue deep housevibes all over the place.hide society steps out of context and mixes chinaskis affection for the warmth of these marvelous synth-­sounds with trippy post-­breaking or even proto-­hiphop sounds topped off with a weird vocal sample. the title­track the video dead summons all emotional power ramona could implant into a synthesizer, the heartbeat like reduced kick-­drum and hihats floating around the track are mostly incidental or not even there for the ears. purely visual.

nicolas villebrun, half of society of silence and acid square dance, is putting out his first solo album on fragil musique, accurately titled « snare roll lp ». villebrun only needed a couple of recording sessions during a short period of time, to put the whole thing out from a unique set up. although an accomplished musician, tite seems to leave his technical skills aside when crafting his music, embracing all the spontaneity one would expect from a techno producer. listening to the lp, the title starts to make sense. when the snares are not rolling, the smooth basslines take over, strongly dragging bodies towards the dance floor. hungry man, move into hell, a white track, and the amazing the bell glides are among those. basslines curved as a horse s behind, subtly swifting through the air, are playing around with smartly spread out rhythms and textures. tite comes up with nine commonly grounded tracks, but with the necessary talent and sharpness to produce a resolutely fine, homogeneous, and yet diversified techno lp.

as with the best techno, the best minimalist records, the best krautrock ventures, this first model alpha lp hints at a weird sense of time, not totally of the past, not totally of the future, not at all of the present. something in between, a time travel machine that can take you on a random journey. listening to those tracks is a bit like making time’s flow stop.

the third release on interzona13 s sister label outerzona13... black s debut was one of our best-selling 12 s of last year, so this highly anticipated follow up couldn t come soon enough ! edits ? yes, but out of the ordinary, and out of this world - a ron hardy staple teleports into the 21st century, elsewhere devastatingly good afro-soul is sure to work those thighs, and wrapping things up we get an impossible to resist, sultry, cosmic jazz-funk workout like no other. another keeper on this fine label !

emotive tracks by two super producers who impressed cartulis day with their memorable sets. the collective invites tommy vicari jnr and anton zap once again, this time to showcase their music for the labels third release. tommy vicari jnr brings us a deeply playful side a track, well suited for those special after hours. anton zap names his track after crucifix lane, cartulis home for more than 5 years before it was forced to close earlier this year. he recreates that stomping ground atmosphere with this b track, sure to keep a dance floor pulsating during the peak of the night.

a year and a half after black merlin (george thompson) opened the common thread series with the much praised new world fantasy / ice house release george sent over some adventurous bits for a follow up and we were immediately sold. george is a true artist in his own right. all of the black merlin tracks evoke different sentiments. this time around the feeling it bring up is very conflicted. both tracks have those dark aesthetics with elements of paranoia and both also share some apocalyptic elements. it is for this reason that this is the perfect follow up for ct01. instead of just releasing music on vinyl we (with the blessings of zoroaster) are looking to evoke spirits, cross boundaries and maintain quality. major cliches, but with an artist like black merlin on your books, cliches sometimes become truth.

welcome back, okain! after his praised collaboration with onno resulting in their conjunctional triple o ep samuel thalmann a.k.a. okain is about to unleash four brand new tunes on his forthcoming upon.you-single coma. with the title track coma our french friend masterly crafts an enthrallingly bouncy mother of a tune walking the fine line between house and techhouse, serving swirling hi-nrg synth modulations and super ecstatic vocal bits for those who like to get into the groove. this track is prime time heaven for all clubbers out there

the furnace series is a two-part compilation of music inspired by a special room in the montreal apartment shared by booma collective from 2012-2014. when venues to throw parties became scarce, booma used this room leading to the fire escape in the back of the apartment known as the furnace as a space for small gatherings among close friends. the furnace series is a collection of memories of those intimate parties and impromptu jam sessions. part one features four tracks by booma collective founders and friends, beginning with psyche, a hypnotic, dub-techno inspired composition with oscillating, piercing sounds, evoking whistling flurries. solparas garden in the furnace echoes the hollowed-out concrete architecture of the furnace itself, filling up then emptying its atmosphere with layered drum machines and ghostly voices. cf01 is the result of feedback experimentation carefully arranged into a slow tribal jam. oren ratowsky. producer of booma collectives first vinyl release, rounds off the b side with gorby, an eleven and a half minute exploration of his mastery of analog synthesizers.

no fires were lit during the production of these tracks. 21 years bc. i don t need those defibrillators. be kind, go vegan. 300 copies for the universe. love is the answer. nail x.

the second part in the hudd traxx 10th anniversary *now & then* compilation sees tracks from luna city express, sek, iz & diz and rick wade. berlin duo luna city express serve up a lush deep house groove that builds throughout the track, and will bring a smile to the faces of those who follow them on their beloved moon habour recordings. sek uses slick beats, trippy leads, a driving bassline and some *thug life* vocals to ensure this one has future classic written all over it. go back in time (to 2006 to be precise) on the then side to find iz & dizs *happy*. the words epic & journey are often misused in music but both can be mentioned about this track. it had devastating effect on first release and is set to do the same again nearly 10 years later. rick wade closes things out in fine style to fly the detroit flag on an all chicago / detroit side.

jj&j return on 12 inch after knocking us sideways with last years double lp. there is true finesse (as ever) in these tempod productions, with fabulous synth layering throughout and some of those ravey details they lace in so well for the more expanded dancers ... up and out there.

i entered rapidly in the darkness, searching for a secure place, i cheated myself, i walked through paths travelled by those ones who get lost. i’ve dreamt many times the light in the distance always bumping into an illusion, the illusion in my mind. i ask to calm down to the screams in my ears, to cease to the voices in my mind. i look lost around me, nothing is in possession of my senses anymore. i fall, asleep.

machines will fail us: those are the unsettling first words of this much expected new episode of the polar inertia odyssey. starting with this ode to machinery, the tale plunges suddenly in a stark apocalyptic scenario. along the 3:14? of the track kinematic optics, this mysterious polar inertia eventually begins to materialize and reveal more of its true essence. same might be said about this double ep, consisting of almost 75 minutes of music.

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

this is simply a beautiful song and amazing collaboration between eagles & butterflies (innervisions, get physical) and super talented singer/songwriter j.u.d.g.e. its one of those rare standout tracks you might come to love and treasure for the rest of your life. no more words necessary, hit play and let the music do the talking.

first release for brand new label basement night feeling sound. two tracks from scm recommended for those who loves the dance floor! only 300 hand numbered copies, vinyl only release, save your dont sleep!

joe goddard just had to knock on that door. the wall of his recording studio had been pulsating with original analogue house jams for too long, dry ice practically sifting through the vents. behind that door was gentleman george t, and before long the two heads were nodding to obscure dat edits and 4th hand soul samples as george plundered a wealth of forgotten late 90s dats from of a box in the corner. true story. and now those dat edits, lovingly un-restored, are available for the first time on greco-roman, the record label, party and artist collective of whom hot chip s joe goddard is a founding member.

to release a new piece of music, it would seem, is to enter a competition for approval and appearances: who will play that track and how many will follow. likes. clicks. transient signs of appreciation, or perhaps just vague nods of confirmation. but what about all those values inherent in music that just cant be quantified? if merely one single person would listen to these songs and find herself or himself genuinely moved by them, wouldnt it be worth it? we think so. we really do.

simple things is a love song about the end of love and a new beginning. simple things are those that separate the real, the true, and everything else. simple things is about that love that we all let go of, that we lose, and from which we learn so much about ourselves. because love always happens for the best. god hates us all is a digital extra that takes us to the dance floor as a place for rebirth, where the music heals us and returns life to us and to the celebration that it is.

shadeleaf continues, with a strident 7 out of 7 on the scoreboard! following a stunning (and sell-out !) ep earlier last year, the north easts answer to michigans finest, steps up again, with probably his strongest work to date. mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of glenview, lumberjacks in hell & diner city sounds. this ep sees him continue wearing his influences proudly, but re-imagine them in an altogether rawer framework - samples woven together, augmented and redefined, some of it following the classic kdj blueprint but laid out in a style thats all his own. those familiar loops submerged and unfurling, rubbing up against altogether more off-kilter but coherent workouts, sat alongside perfectly measured electronic jams all combining into an ep that stands head and shoulders above the competition. another shadeleaf sureshot!
