the see it through ep is the debut release from kris le vay. the eponymous a side is the most dance floor orientated track, with kicking drums and a driving, melodic bass line guaranteed to get the crowd moving. its also an awesome headphone experience, with involved, complex percussive elements that keep the ear interested and euphoric breakdowns that truly pull at the heartstrings. the b1, entitled melt, is a cheeky little number that bounces around with plenty of polyrhythm. the counterpoint between the deep bass and twinkling top melody leads to the unconventional, yet mesmerising breakdown. the release is rounded off by one hot ride, which is one hot track! starting with ominous dark synths that spin themselves into a stomping hip-hop tempo beat, this anthemic rich blend of sound winds itself up from a menacing introduction on an exhilarating journey through a complex and intricate soundscape. limited to 300 colour vinyl.

>see blind through< is the new single from sydney-based desert house outfit canyons. it follows on from their lovemore ep on their own hole in the sky records, the fire eyes 12 inch on nycs dfa records, blue snakes on paris i m a cliche records and the my rescue 12 inch on modular. >see blind through< is from their debut album keep your dreams, which is available now, and its a late, late night house mutant built on a swampy bassline and the heavily warped vocals of nite jewels ramona gonzalez. >the see blind through< 12 inch features the original track, heroes of the galleon trades sexican version and an almighty remix by the don himself - dj harvey.

luciano s cadenza imprint welcome fresh blood into their reputable fold of producers for the stunning debut cadenza ep from davide benedetti. italian davide, better known as davidino, has been making unforgettable impressions over recent years with his spell binding and peak time music, cadenza now proudly introduce davide benedetti and the >through the years< ep. kick starting with hearty kicks and menacing sirens, >can t do this< reeks of euphoria from the offset as tenaciously strung hats slam, cymbal crashes shimmer and tempos accelerates beyond bounds. flooding the dance floor with sheer force, davide plays with the core structure of classic house and techno music in >can t do this< as he builds and breaks for the ultimate fist punching opener. on the flipside, >through the years< presents >moody elise< with a dark and sultry bass line bellowing through the lower end firmly into our memories. chopping the track s structure with immaculate precision, moments of sophisticated brass break as spitting drums bind the groove once more. as always, davide injects his contagious energy into the ep with stomping, modern house music on >moody elise< as it begs for late night tales and debaucherous behaviour.

dj pacso steps up again with theses two bangers on one of the best jump up labels around, lowdown deep. if you like your bass round and your beats chunky then you will be all over this release.

paul frick is back with another massive ep on kalk pets. i got through is his third release for the berlin producer on the vinyl sublabel of karaoke kalk and with it frick has delivered another quality record.

last year put leeds-based producer midlands (aka harry agius) name on the map with his successful collaboration with hessle audios ramadanman, >your words matter< on aus music. this year, aus label chief will saul has invited midland back to take a solo swing. its an excursion that explores the boundaries of 2-step, uk garage and techno and consists of two original tracks. on the a side >through motion< shows midlands ability to seamlessly take the spirit of uk garage and fuse it with techno. the tracks moody piano melody is punctured by a dark, pitch-shifted vocal and encircled by the warm atmospherics that have become his trademark. on the flip side is >shelter<, a brooding and cavernous affair whose vocals and whispery atmospherics make this the perfect late night tool.

gorgeous deepness from fish go deeps label go deep. irelands finest team up to put a positve spin on the recent troubles

if the eyes would be the mirror of the soul we could easily know others. but that may be not true so this is the aim of giorgio gigli and obtanes >the incredible tale of secret journey through your eyes<: penetrate your eyes and reach your soul and subconsce until we know your truth. psychoanalytic claims this time for zooloft, opening with an upbuilding, dramatic techno anthem, telling us of a true love on the hills. on the other side, geophones master mike parker delivers a pulsating and acidic techno driver where heart impulses are generated by a disturbed soul, creating spasms and panic feelings. the ep get closed by a strongly romantic drone track that tells us love is still the only way-out.

though there is something refreshing and original about the afronauts, their music could be described as somewhere in between the heavy afrobeat of fela kuti and the ethio-jazz of mulatu astatke. this debut 12 inch single combines all these elements, >journey through time< having a hypnotic, spiritual feel, whilst the b side >kibo< is totally exclusive to this 12 inch single, and is an upbeat positive groove, both tracks only hinting at the delights the forthcoming album flight of the ancients (fsrcd/lp085) will contain.

ifm is the project of the unstoppable marcello napoletano and franceso schito and is dedicated to their friend ilario corsano, who passed away. marcello napoletano needs no further introduction - like no one else he made his name with an old school inspired house sound. and this new ifm release is another fine example of this: drummachines, analog synths and the sound aesthetics of the early house days is what the >journey through the sound ep< is all about. true house music

morgan geists new project storm queen marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. the debut storm queen release, >look right through<, features the vocal talents of damon c. scott. scott and geist met on the nyc subways where scott performs. storm queen physical releases will be limited-edition 12s only. storm queen is made for djs, but doesnt sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. storm queen owes a debt to classic house music from new york, chicago and detroit, as well as disco and boogie. s t o r m q u e e n i s a l e a p o f f a i t h .

2nd part with more punchy techno madness

germanys gregor tresher with the first of a 2 part vinyl series. the first part features a remix from reset robot

zoolofts >looking through a mindscape< ep is a decidedly dark new cut from giorgio gigli and obtane. the catalogue number is 00d and if the >d< signifies anything it should be dystopian. this utterly visual ep straddles dancefloor-optimised rhythms and atmospheric ambience.

liberation through hearing is the second part in demdike stares trilogy of albums for 2010. once again indebted to the black arts, the occult and tibetan spiritualism, there are dark currents running through these 6 pieces, each one referencing the six images displayed on the cover. demdike stare will be back later on this year with the third and final part in this mystical odyssey.

the mighty d knox graces sect with a second ep, >looking through your eyes<.
>at the beginning< is a journey in the way good techno tracks should be. a low-slung groove forms the foundation as strings build, creating composite chords then descending into darker territory.
>if i never knew you< continues the unique and oh-so-delicately balanced melodic sequences, while >out there< is straight up techno funk of the first order. if these guitar licks dont move ya on the dancefloor, you have problems we cant help you with.
>on my way< is a gift for the more experienced techno dj. tricky beats work to create something like a latin shuffle, rounded off by a sonic mind manifesto vocal.

usa based label steps in time are back with a 3 track release from digisonic, a relative newcomer to the scene but is about to make major moves if these tracks are anything to go by. deep, gritty and hard dubstep akin to the sounds of datsik or excision, dont sleep on this one.

godspill at his best --- great shrt from hollands underground (black, 100% cotton)

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

together through life is bob dylans upcoming 33rd studio album (around his 60th album if you count official live albums and compilations). dylan produced the record under the pseudonym of jack frost, which he used for his previous two studio albums, love and theft and modern times. dylan revealed that the new record was heavily influenced by the sound of chess records and sun records. in an interview on his website bobdylan.com, the 67 year old singer compares the sounds of together through life, to the 1950s sounds of blues singers willie dixon and howlin wolf. dylan has a tough record to follow after his 2006 release modern times won two grammys and became his first number one record in the u.s. since 1976.

great deep soulful detroit masterpieces

jack for daze is one of the new clone series of releases inspired by the early house releases from chicago. one of the main inspirations of the clone crew... first release is done by neville watson, known for his collaboration with kink. two sweet tracks that are highly influenced by joe lewis and larry heard. two tracks that sound as if they came out of a time machine. clone founder serge produced a modern jack track together with gerd as bonus track. back into the studio since a long time and just playing around they came up with a nice hybrid mix somewhere inbetween an old gherkin gherks / larry heard release and a modern club track. crazy low bass kick and a classic jacking percussion drive combined with todays production skills. a proper club tool that compliments this first jack for daze release... very much recommended!

at an epic nine minutes in length, light through the veins from hopkins first album in four years is a work of classic, hypnotic electronica. it draws the listener in with each pure, serpentine note, rises to a propulsive, euphoric climax, before finally dissolving into an ending of heartrending beauty and sadness. the 12inch release is backed with a remix from one of electronic musics most respected producers and djs, ewan pearson, who has delivered a 15 minute future balearic classic. the 12inch will also feature legendary dj, musician and composer david holmes remix - a krautrocking, psychedelic jam from outer space.

through the door is the lead single featured on krafty kuts fabric live 34 cd, a meeting of minds from two of the heavyweights of breaks, brightons krafty kuts and floridas dj icey. this electro breaks anthem is hotly tipped to be the biggest breaks single of the year and is currently receiving heavy rotation from the stanton warriors, freestylers and plump djs to name a few.
