emerging nyc label lost soul enterprises present hidden city, their third 12 inch release and first single-artist ep. these four tracks by brooklyn native j slusher, made in collaboration with his fellow artists in the boroughs thriving experimental techno scene, are dark, menacing excursions into after hours territory. his previous work as a noise artist under various monikers (opponents, privilege, unstable systems) informs a uniquely uncompromising take on club music. slusher takes a stripped-down, industrial approach to percussion and populates it with otherworldly vocal snippets and growling synths. the result is hypnotic, evoking the severe moods and disused spaces so vital to the secret nightlife of the city.

as the autumnal nights draw in, futureboogie show off a slightly darker edge to their ever expanding roster of artists, welcoming re-edit king mark e to the fold. the birmingham based dj and producer has risen steadily through the musical ranks over the last few years, cropping up on a multitude of top drawer labels like sonar kollectiv, running back, golf channel, his own merc imprint, and most recently a brace of albums for the us label spectral sound (home to matthew dear, osborne et al). title track, *activity* chugs at a house music pace but with plenty of techno swagger, bridging the gap between the two genres with ease. a simple and minimal beat is doused in a pacey acid bassline riff that is constantly morphing and transposing, layers of synths join in the infectious melody whilst soaring pads rise up with all the familiarity of a detroit techno classic.

since its first outing in 2004, matthew dears audion guise has predominantly acted as a darker, edgier commentary to the pop-infused house concoctions to be found under the producers birth name. a twisted reflection of sorts, it contemplated electronic music through the lens of grime-flecked techno and sinewy funk - resulting in relentless floor-fillers like the aptly named >kisses<, >just fucking< or >mouth to mouth<.

the project stems from an idea of hypnotism and low frequencies which are an integral part of the musical premise. in an ever-changing field of music, blow creates a fusion between the genders in a spiritual perspective becoming part of the contemporary underground movement. both tracks are live interactions and excerpts from archival material of the opera mutica. the acoustic elements that characterize the artists sound are flutes, drums, percussion, guitars and ambient sound environments. between the surreal sounds he is able to initiate a search within ethic harmony. through musical research the project evokes a certain significance, enough to take on a certain character which makes space for more conventional acoustic elements.

defaultbox strikes again. the black cube ep by patrick brøsin is armed with four substantial techno tracks including one remix. this time we could inspire tresor resident krenzlin and diego hostettler the head of belief system records. the collaboration between them is probably unknown for most of the people, but releases on nachtstrom schallplatten or affin ltd by krenzlin as well as on kanzleramt or u-turn by diego hostettler speak for themselves.

ronald burrell s second release as equation on nu-groove is as deep as it gets. we re talking late night nyc back room deepness, often imitated but never bettered. -i ll say a prayer 4 u- is the lead track here, a sublime longing synth groove with a nagging bassline and crisp rimshots, a total -under the radar- anthem straight out of new york city circa 1991 and engineered by the equally as legendary bobby konders, a real undercover gem. the other two cuts on the ep drive further into the night, -domm domm, yeah mm hmm- is another dope basement groove, rocking some classic burrell flavours, and -my life- is a real down-tempo piece that reappropriates the roy ayers classic -my life in the sunshine- while giving it a real -100 bpm house- swing, don t snooze... all in all this is another classic release from the nu-groove vaults, re-mastered and re-pressed here for the first time in conjunction with nu-groove records and the burrell brothers. essential.

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.

total is babas debut album under his own name and his finest work to date. from the opening machine funk arpeggio of missing to the sanguine melancholia of closing hiphop beat discovery – new dawn, babas masterpiece rides through psychedelic screw-pop, minimalistic emo-acid and opiate-drenched coming-of-age ambient. as lucid and strong as it is obscure and beautiful, this is an album us folks at studio barnhus are immensely proud of presenting it to the world

fracture is a new label which aims to release quality music on a medium we care about. this is why we chose to work with matt colton from alchemy mastering, and also why we decided to put only one track per side of a 180 gram vinyl. after a first ep earlier this year by berlin s i/y, this second release features signalweiss, one of the alias of prolific and talented italian artist dario tronchin (also known as chevel), here supported by a remix of milton bradley.the past years have seen dario exploring many directions, from intelligent dancefloor tracks to surprising housy & technoesque pieces. artificial is another occurrence of him blurring the lines between different genres, dreamy and abstract, it successfully creates a refreshing and unique atmosphere. milton bradley skillfully brings artificial completely into the realms of techno, keeping the original s track attention to space and melody, the track in his hands turns into a mental and punishing dancefloor bomb.

ptakis tunes soar wide-winged like their translation (bird) infers. with a breakout single under their belts on the very polish cut-outs krystina and a swirling vapour of mystique surrounding them, the duo present their first full 12 inch of original material which is both contemplative and transfixing. the kalina ep on young adults recordings clocks in around 25 minutes, but the ground it covers cannot be clearly conveyed through conventional cartography - a birdseye view of jagged cliffs, coastal haze, rolling bagpipe hillsides, and smoke signals.
