for the fourth r-zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. first track exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track march of the worms is even more militant. this one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. finally, claustrophobic habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.

dont wait for yonks! nail returns with the yonks ep on sheffields shabby doll label. just what is house musics secret? what has enabled it to disperse its genes throughout contemporary music while still staying true to itself and remaining, frankly, irresistible? if there is one man who appears to possess the answer – or who at least has access to the secret vault where the formulas kept – it is nail.

the second release from swedens tommy awards is another essential 4 track ep. side a continues from where the first ep left off, with two tracks of blissful balearic vibes. if you liked land of lights recent release then this should definitely appeal to you. side b reveals another side to tommy awards and shows the guys are no slouch when it comes to producing in the electronic realm, employing vintage synths and drum machines to create gale force, the ballad of the wind. for the final track, is it balearic head honchos coyote take on the difficult task of remixing last years classic, blind andy, and come out victorious, adding elements of acid and making the track altogether deeper. is it summer yet?

part 2 concludes killawatts largest body of music to date, the opposing rhetoric ep, a 6 track opus of truly progressive uk underground sound that melds his influences from dubstep and techno with expansive, high-tension sound design. the eps second triplet of beats feature his most overtly techno-focussed sounds yet, expanding his horizons and dropping the pace down to 125bpm, and delivers punishing dancefloor rigidity and bass-immersed sonic force. on black air, killawatt threads tightly coiled syncopations above a grinding 4×4 structure, and delivers a near-cacophonic but ultimately heavy full-sensory overload. the flipside is divided between the churning swell of dark industrial aesthetics on art of discourse, and the moody permutations of reactive technique, where rippling melodic shimmers provide accentuation to its pounding sub-density.

hank jackson is from southern california, but he calls brooklyn home. a couple months ago, when we were stamping alex burkats record in the mister office, we put these songs on. after we picked our eyeballs off the floor, we realized we were listening to more than just face-burning techno. theres something about hanks music that seems to embody the conflict between youth and age, what its like to live in a society where the law can simultaneously & arbitrarily protect you or harm you. but maybe we just think too much. no matter what, we are happy to introduce hank, and we are happy to present you with the deposit ep. we hope you enjoy

trotz zahlreicher nebenprojekte wie alexis taylors about group, joe goddards the 2 bears und einem vollgepackten tour-kalender, lassen uns hot chip nach ihrem erfolgs-album in our heads vom sommer 2012 auch in diesem jahr nicht im stich: die neue single dark and stormy erscheint am via domino! der typisch leichtfüßige hot chip-sound trifft auf eingängig groovende bass-lines und den soulig-melancholischen gesang alexis taylors. dabei herausgekommen ist ein elektrisierender dance-pop-song, der spätestens mit dem aah-ooh der bridge ganz fest im ohr hängen bleibt.

simply he has never done us. the low-key friendly turkish producer with the unpronounceable name, has never made music for the hip all-together-happiness-floor. the man comes from jazz and blues. and at tolga baklacioglu means electronic music production to test the depths of house music. sometimes tricky, sometimes playful, sometimes psychedelic, but always deep. his tracks have often a length of eleven or twelve minutes. music takes time. prime-time music sounds different. and that is why we like him. and so tolga published with *feeling now and then* his fourth lebensfreude - ep. music that was heard up to buenos aires, where the argentine producer and dj violett (telegraph/unfoundsound/igloo) contributed a functionally magical remix. one thing we know. this time it will not be simple again. luckily.

3 tracks inside and outside the tradition of classical scores and synphonies usually divided into 4 times, where elements of the composition are back with a deep or shallow drama. the sounds of heavy techno and rough hardcore are slowed down in a minimalistic and environmental casing. atmosphere and climate are counterpointed by a vision and historical journey that fuses and confuses the machines with the meat: replaces and softs the sincopatic moments of time that is missing. bruit as a psychic disorder and a lack of physical stability, phonies as futile attempt at harmony and empathy.

making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first ep, dogboy’s basement to the attic is an fearless musical odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. in a way that wishmountain or burnt friedman would, dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. using recordings made in the different rooms of his family home, the four tracks on the ep start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling, what makes basement to the attic so successful is it is purely unique.

little is known about mysterious producer tommy rawson. our first acquaintance was the aptly named shy track on red rackems smugglers inn 001 release. we tried to find out more but the trail got cold pretty quick. it was not until hearing gilles peterson playing a version of hugh masekelas dont go lose it baby on his show that word got around, tommy rawson was back. this particular anthemic track found its way to mats who then started playing it out and every time, in every club no matter where in the world the reaction was same, people completely lost it on the dance floor! we had but no choice to release the track and luckily enought tommy must have a sixth sense because at the same time mats blasted the track at the local talk office to convince tooli shouting: this is the next big release for local talk, i m telling you! another track made it into his mailbox, the soulful house jam brenda done died with no name. both tracks ended up on this 12 inch of course. mr rawson has delivered the goods here, warm, sunsplashed music all the way. a name to watch for this year and probably not mysterious for long.
