skylax 136 arrives in the form of a killer ep from none other than lady blacktronika. most will know her from her own imprint, sound black recordings, where she has served up some of the best deep house and slo-mo beatdown to come from the us since the labels inception in 2010. such a stellar output has led many to refer to her as the first lady of both the genres she frequents, and with this new offering of pure-grade deep house, she shows no sign of letting go of that title.

cgi is proud to present the debut of 2 new duos who are experts at making their synths and sequencers sweat divine moisture. lyman-alpha forest is a new collaborative project between producers grey people (proper trax, finale sessions) and talk (deconstructure). as a duo they work to bring acid into new territories with their heavy, low-slung approach to producing melodic-and-spacious yet tight-and-focused slow-burning club-weapons. whether or not this is due to a stroke of compositional genius or if it is simply a side effect of the high levels of sizzurp found in the tap water in their hometown of nashville is irrelevant, but the effect is intoxicating all the same. travel 7 hours up i-65 and you will end up somewhere in chicago where afterburner spends long cold winter nights painting vivid synthesized tapestries as epic as the citys skyline. the duo of nicholas reed (windbreaker) and travis thatcher (voice of saturn) employ an aresnal of modular and analog gear to produce lushly cinematic tracks that chug along like classic moroder productions while simultaneously evoking the rich melodicism of kraftwerk. whether you listen to them at home in the headphones or on the dancefloor in the club, these tracks will take you on a wild ride.

upwellings is vincent raude, a professor of modern art at the academy of brest who has been releasing dub and reggae music since 1996 and has written music for contemporary dance and theater. he created his dub project lower groundz in 2004 where he experimented with reggae and in 2008 started his dub techno project upwellings under which he realized several 1s. his music was supported and charted by people like cio d or, laurent garnier, alexkid and more. upwellings music shows a great deal of recording knowledge and love for the details of electronic music. his a-side track zu zurich has a classic dub techno surface but we believe the skillful complexity on many levels will have us listen to this track many many times. there are things to discoverin >zurich< one might say. so it is no surprise that the flip side track >lower ground< shows more reggae influences which he uses in more abstract ways, employing vocal splinters he masterfully embeds in his recording.

emotional especial gathers pace with an eighth release from richard sen, a man whose cultured touch has had a hand in various strands of the uk underground for the past two decades. graffiti artist, graphic designer, music curator, dj and producer are all vocations richard sen has done at one point or another. here he goes solo with the ghost train ep, a dark and brooding release of old school meets new school house jack that takes its cues from 80s new york, italian house and the nascent uk acid house that sen himself documented with aplomb on a 2012 compilation for strut. naggingly familiar samples and a low slung box jam groove drive the spectral title cut forward, whilst sens mastery of delay is shown with aplomb on the dub version that closes out the record. nestled in between is the highlight however in *meteor shower* where discoid basslines merge with psychedelically charged keys and hollowed out steppers percussion.

when you dream where does the light come from? there is a light that has clarity as great or greater than the daylight vision, and a lucidity of color that s beyond how we see color now ... i m interested in the point where this meets the imaginative vision that comes from seeing what we want to think of physical reality as outside, because it has a lot to do all which how we create reality. - james turell
within the walls, lighting(s), james turrell built spaces of solid material. the aim is not to also penetrate the foundations, passing through space, leading us to consider the immaterial, the mind. divergent ways first four compositions much like the four first light compositions, have sought to externalise the imaginative vision making it apparent.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

melancholischer techno

dehnert has continued to steer his fachwerk label through the techno undergrowth and it has now amassed more than 25 releases in all. at the heart of the labels output has been dehnerts own increasingly experimental techno and this new album is testament to the producers continued exploration of the form. where framework was, in the words of mike himself, focussed on the heavy techno form, this album explores broken bass, swinging house and beatless electronic experimentalism amongst other things. i love to release music. i still enjoy the album writing process very much, says mike, before adding, i have noticed that sometimes the succe ss of a track depends on the light at club, which is why the album is called lichtbedingt, meaning depends on light! the album starts off with a suitably sombre intro that features cold, slowly shifting synths.

maricopa returns to back to the balearics to complete his stunning opus, pastel love. and he continues where he left off building deeply textured songs packed full of simple melodies that really shine. his music opts for subtle feelings and passing vibes over the more obvious structures of dance music. the release of part one led to a number of comparisons with the early work of aphex twin as well as more contemporary producers such as four tet. such comparisons dont come lightly, but pastel love demonstrates that a rare musical talent has arrived. the release again has beautiful printed covers and looks as good as it sounds. viva maricopa!

an imaginary country continues from the trajectory of tim heckers last album, the critically acclaimed harmony in ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is know for. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth.

moj001 delivers to you five tracks from little nobody which fascinatingly branch through diverse genres and influences which here, on the one record alone, manage to represent this artists wide variety as well as nicolas. judging from this artists extensive bio, since hes delved through techno, idm, hip hop, jazz, disco, electro, etc, the wide-spectrum approach becomes evident. like many artists from the 1990s, little nobody brings with him the healthy baggage of music with a message, polemic subjects, thoughts, ideas, humor, you name it. this comes as an aural statement: music has the power to challenge us, the way in which we perceive the world, and points out things which could potentially generate change for the better — if we only stopped and considered looking that much deeper. so this record couldnt come at a better time, a period in which we live where everything is disposable and a numbed societys music attempts to reach out for our consciousness — posing for us the opportunity to stop and think.

accomplished producer, phil kieran, makes his hotflush debut with a two-track ode to hedonistic flight. yes im going there goes the lead tracks refrain. where there is, who knows? but you can enjoy a soundtrack of sun-kissed piano chords and heraldic horns on the way. as kieran > gets away< on the a2, the mood takes a turn for the dark. lost in the early hours, pockets full of miniature plastic bags and no money…thank fuck for the throb of that kick in these lonely but exciting times

the second coming. finlands otherworldly electro lords blastromen return to the dominance electricity mothership to deliver their much anticipated second longplayer. the eight new compositions featured on *reality opens* continue where their debut album *human beyond* left off in the year 2010 and lead straight to the next level. sophisticated arangements with epic synth melodies and atmospheres, haunting electro breakbeats and elaborate vocoderized lyrics prove once again that blastromen are a class of their own.

repress , forever sound is an attempt to make simple, cyclic dance music unbound by metre where melodies and basslines phase against one another like comets around a distant sun: a slow wave on a boundless sea. geist sets about to express that moment when a dancefloor stops being a mass of independent bodies and instead becomes one connected, moving spirit, while the fold pours waves of cascading synth warmth around the listener

the first release on amba amba records, *broomsticks & broken glass* brings a stirring, profound and a very personal introduction and sensation, offering a plethora of sound that perturbs the soul. the amalgam of raw sound creates a mystical sphere where noisy, dark depths are explored, awakening the senses bringing another form to life. as the ep continues as does the depth, the synthetic sounds induce adrenaline release as its density escorts us underground.

nultd001 come signed by the argentinian alexander d niel, he starts with ellie, a world of drums, cymbals and synthesizers in a restless and powerful technos key. meanwhile, the swedish mattias fridell s remix shows us a smart and elegant construction of technoid rhythms performed in a depth and accurate way. kingdom is the second original track of alexander d niel, and where he shows his most aggressive side with a wrenching techno as a continuous sound storm. ungars remix respects the original tracks style but it breaks its rhythm giving more depth and versatility to a techno packed of groove.

dream states of lust and lucidity, slow to speaks latest reissue of house musics halcyon years comes courtesy of mood ii swings visionary lem springsteen. originally released on the eightball sublabel empire state records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. this is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconsciouss kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of springsteens ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. fear not: this dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at dope jams, who remind you, *whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!* not without asking (or paying) first, of course.

several years ago, valentin stip was sitting alone by a harbor in the small french town where his parents grew up. >i heard all the sailing strings hit the masts, and i realized that every sound you hear is potentially music,< he says. >the only thing that makes sound into music is the mind, arranging it.< since then, valentin stip has been building a bridge between the sounds that live inside and outside his head.
