reviously unreleased schizo post-punk/moogy folk score to 1983 british tv scouse-ploitation drama one summer (remember billy and icky?) from the vault of kate bush, serge gainsbourg and david bowie’s best-kept secret session man alan parker. inducing abject fear in protective parents and a street smart swagger amongst clued-up youths, this adaptation of a coming of age pastoral thriller by a reluctant willy russell broke new boundaries pinpointing a cultural teenage void between post punk activism and the acid house years while arguably giving thatcherite telly addicts a tiny kick up the arse. scored by legendary kpm/de wolfe library musician alan parker, this score retains a genre defying personality, pinpointing the stylistic essence of the era while successfully switching from barren rumble fish funk, pastoral moog noodlings, pentangular folk, 80’s post-punk rhythms with hints of dubby

taking a brief detour from his normal abrasive distorted sound, pinion showcases his broad spectrum as an artist with the desire ep. the title track, desire (half measure),starts out of the gate with a thunderous half beat 808 coupled with a swinging hihat pattern that slowly works ethereal vocal slices into the forefront, accompanied with a modulating synth pad that evolves into a defining melody. the sister track, desire (full measure), has very similar characteristics as the original, but allowing a little more edge for the dancefloor to build on. the third original track, recollection shifts gears quite drastically with a 135 bpm stormer with enough soul and melody to make the uncharacteristically fast tempo seem inconsequential. last, comes kyle geiger on remix duties to round out the ep with a housier take on desire, but still enough bite to fit nicely into any techno set.

having issued a mini album from fuxa earlier this year, stuart leaths tireless emotional response welcomes the detroit band back to the label with an album recorded alongside neil mackay of loop fame. apollo soyuz was originally released digitally earlier this year via bandcamp, but you can see why leath would want to license it for a proper vinyl edition. the eight tracks form an exploration of the outer cosmos that is tinged with a deep psychedelia that will resonate warmly with fans of emotional response. from the space funk of the opening apollo soyuz, fuxa and mackay lead the listener through galactic kosmische, spatial ambience and primal tape loop experiments and more with testz 1 a considered highlight.

hulks of heavy industry lay strewn around, primitive yet shot through with a cracked futurist vision. red rusting mother loads could have lain there for years, a henge to post industrialism. time to open the sluice gate and slide the fetid bulk into the bloated brine of the next high tide. surfing out across the broth its bow breaks the water, sending a long lazy wave like treacle slapping the side of the wharf. slaughter-phonic noises pulsate from within the lead encased carburettor. on the blistered deck great knotted balls of chain lie rusting for ever, atrophied by age and despair

slovenly recordings presents a new black jewel in the rough from australia: melbourne scuzz squad pronto, and their self-titled lp will steal your purse n pills before kicking holes in your speakers! pronto hits hard from the gate with a rare breed of aggression that mercilessly attacks your better senses with scraping vocal chords, three or less guitar chords and brash, unrelenting rhythmic fuckery. this decroded piece of plastic devolves from hammering rock n roll into psyched-out meltdowns, never neglecting the breed of anthemic choruses that were perfected during the first wave of uk punk in a twisted post-punk application. pronto is making good with ruthless threats of thuggish damage. they’re knocking at your door, and you need the hurt.

following the success of *elecktro diktators - the french dissidents vol.1* compilation published early this year, new flesh records proudly presents the return of infamous umwelt delivering another collectible output on his own electro label! much anticipated *when future and past collapse* combines firing snares with rolling 808 kicks, acid lines, sub-bass and driving futuristic melodies, all packed in this sophisticated ep. umwelts aesthetics and dystopian vision has never been so dazzling. we could write more about it, but why dont you give it a listen (at your own risk of course)? expect nothing but depths, terrific tales, and authentic secrets about the origins of mankind in this must have five-tracker.

the first self titled album from emptyset is reissued. released in 2009 the material formed the initial departure within emptysets ongoing exploration of time, structure and analogue technology. the album highlights the projects development and the foundation of their studio based production process, forming the first part of a tryptic spanning across demiurge, released in 2010 with subtext and the 2013 raster-noton album recur. the eponymous debut creates the first point within this narrative, initiating a dialogue between full frequency audio, noise and the emergent properties of sound, and the starting point for their contained sonic approach.

constantly turning around itself, the winding melody of vertere turns outward and inward at the same time, bringing the listener on a journey outward while mirroring a simultaneous labyrinthine journey inward. like the word itself, vertere, with its roots in the latin word verto (which itself takes its roots in the earlier sanskrit word, vartayati) it signifies the very nature of change itself. it means both to turn and reflect inward and yet also move forward — a call to action for setting in motion new things. a paradox at first glance but also perhaps a surprisingly accurate description of the destructive and reconstructive nature of creation. an apt metaphor for this bright new collaboration between established life and death artists mind against and the new artist project of federico maccherone, aka somne. on remix duties, when you have an artist of the caliber of tobias freund, you don t need to ask for anything more and with his outstanding remix of vertere he very clearly shows why. this long time mainstay of the electronic music scene has managed to stay not just relevant but on the cutting edge longer than most with respected releases on some of the most seminal imprints to be putting out music in the world of underground dance music. with vertere he takes what s already top quality material and somehow manages to turn it inward and in his own unique way elevate it to another level entirely. with a relentless beat and a sonic force that is hard to describe with mere words the tobias. remix of vertere comes out of the gate like a runaway machine rapturously drunk on its own self awareness. it marches ever forward, full of fervor, and will surely be driving dance floors both large and small to the euphoric edge of the ecstatic state.

the 3rd release by mutewax, various artsts 03, shows no signs of letting up. normally playing live, lyon-based pascal roeder smoothes out the rough edges with gentle yet subversive rhythms in “101,” a posh production that hints at what’s to come on his next mutewax ep. mutecell’s “vimana”, like the word itself, embodies multiple meanings at once - the track’s inherent mystery oscillates between emotion and intellect, ancient and modern, serene stillness and a bold drive into the unknown. relocating from denver to berlin, chad kaska, aka daegon, reinvents himself on his first vinyl release, “double speak.” the energetic track fights its way forward, advancing steadily against an antithetical undercurrent, finally assimilating it into its double-crossing rhythm. the founder of “hide & seek” in berlin, denise rabe hits hard out of the gate with her first vinyl track, “loaded.” building up energy, the track finally detonates and expands in phrenic waves across the dance floor.

second release for black angus records. dj soch s trip continues into the pulsing heart of house music. after the first release which explored the original forms of the sound of chicago, with this release he moves towards another declared love: 90 s new york underground house. everything is brought together by his original, personal touch and careful ear to the freshest sounds of our times. -street groove- is definitely influenced by the tracky sounds of the earliest masters at work, the most inspired todd terry and the most important releases for henry street records. a captivating sample, a drum machine roll and an entrancing bassline: pure house music! the remix by nicholas takes original elements and recomposes it transforming the whole into a persuasive and deep track without losing even a drop of groove. -kick & tom- is the rawest and most direct track in the ep. super funky techno, like a train without stops devastating the dance floor. dj soch is old school that meets new, there is no future without the past. black angus only for dj !

long-time techno protagonist and figure mainstay johannes heil returns with a new 4-track package under his cryptik pseudonym. continuing the focus on a more leftfield, experimental sound, cryptik emerses the listener into a soundtrack world of rich sound, depth of field and versatile, changeable moods. by no means a simple club record, all four tracks offer subtle and rich musical content, each telling a story with beautiful melancholic melodies and rushes of endorphins. from elongated 10 minute journeys into the more reflective zones of heils techno world, snaking and building, showing off all the skills he collected over his 20 years-plus career at the top of his artform, crypik is a dance on the senses. from the cinematic elegance of >the gate<, or the bleep-laden epic of >radiance<, to the post-house piano led drama of >messenger< or the heavyweight synth swarms of >belief<, the ep is full of passion and life, capturing truly magic moments.
