2-nd vinyl only rel. in a brand-new series of heavily textured, hypnotic and puristic techno.

as the rumors tell, this obscure piece of music was arranged by three acquaintances, who, by mere coincidence, formed a spontaneous, poly-toxic think tank one marvellous sunday morning, celebrating the beauty of old house music, while at the same time mocking the somehow cheap and predictable functionality of the four to the floor sound design. to honor the inspirational value of situations like these, the decision was made to share the result with a bigger audience. as a meta text, the lyrics form a tongue in cheek comment on nostalgic good old days aesthetics, and are simultaneously, and quite paradoxically, reminiscent of the utopian and transgressive vision of early house and techno music. if there is anything that we can retrieve from this vision today, it is the encouragement to create funny, pleasant and playful situations for ourselves and the like-minded, escaping the seriousness and boredom of the professionalized party and music business. and this is exactly the spirit, which is materialized on this piece of wax.

vs take on house music comes at the listener from an outsiders perspective, as his native ukraine traditionally hasnt been a hotbed of this genre. consequently, his new album on nuearth kitchen, 13th district, hits your ears at an odd angle, as v (aka vakula, aka mikhaylo vityk) bends somewhat familiar tropes into fascinating, fresh shapes. clearly enamored of american funk, soul, and jazz, v recalibrates these familiar elements—the amino acids of house—into dream-logic, hypnotic scenarios that accentuate their visceral and cerebral qualities.

roll the dices peder mannerfelt presents a new 12 inch for the london based electronics label we can elude control. the release brings together a collection of percussive modular synth and noise experiments recorded live in his stockholm studio with the release exposing mannerfelts wider sonic interests and improvised approach outside of the production work he is more readily known for through projects such as roll the dice, fever ray and the subliminal kid.
