**ltd yellow vinyl pressing** one of the underground drum & bass scene’s most promising young talents unglued, finally releases the most sought after dubplate on the drum & bass circuit, his remix of high contrast’s decade-long anthem ‘if we ever’, on hospital records.

strong summer double pack with tracks & remixes from mathias kaden, the micronaut, deetron, uner, daniel stefanik...

family, fish, shapes. these are only three of the many topics that stefan streck aka the micronaut recently devoted himself to within his releases on labels such as acker records or analogsoul. always with a clear line, but never intellectualising, is how the multi-instrumentalist and producer pursues his scientific curiosity in terms of sounds. his tracks are elaborate and yet danceable. sometimes they are composed minimally, sometimes they are utterly playful. within just a few bars, subtle sequences transform to energetic roller coaster rides since the micronaut loves having a game with contrasts. his newest ep on freude am tanzen proves this anew.

owen jay and melchior sultana are frequently found working in tandem on their particular brand of contemporary deep house, and this is the second time they ve been snapped up by contrast wax following the aftermath ep back in 2014. the mood is smooth and sultry on the title track for this new 12inch, with a sensual sax lead taking centre stage over the kind of gentle bump that would sit comfortably on guidance recordings. bubbles floating in the sky, as the title would suggest, is an equally mellow mover, while b-side lounger saturn heads into even calmer waters with its hushed pad tones and technoid synth pulses.

ismael s addition to the nous camp is an impressively expansive account of contemporary electronic club music, with one foot firmly planted in a robust and ripe understanding of its roots in gritty us electro funk and proto house, alongside the industrial machine music exemplified by the first wave, while the other foot finds itself skating around a future reticulation, informed emphatically by the hardcore continuum and all of its awesome sonic artillery, while infused with the rhythm and grime of now.

7 inch orange vinyl in a picture sleeve hand numbered limited to 500, a treat from the d&b don high contrast as featured on the t2 trainspotting film.

a landmark for contrast-wax as the label hits its 10th release, with a solid 4 track ep, of analogue, emotive techno from the sheffield based, modular tweaking, john shima. with previous releases on the likes of boe recordings, common dreams & ferox, johns signature of warm pads, punching kick drums & acidic vibes doesn t disappoint throughout this whole ep & he provides an absolute stellar release for the boutique label & a very welcome member to the contrast-wax family

we’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini lp by borrowed identity, an inspired producer based in freiburg. there’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the a is ballsy house and the b is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. get why it’s called the contrast?

with 8 sell out releases under the contrast wax belt so far, the boutique label invites, ben boe -boe recordings/for those that knoe- label head to the family & he joins the likes of blm, ethyl & flori, gauss & laak, with a killer 3 track ep, hand-stamped & hand numbered in true contrast wax style. the lead of the 3 cuts, steel city fly by is built around a lo slung bassline & subtle atmospheric pads that swell & drift in and out throughout, the b-side: what starts off with soft subtle pads & skipping hats soon rises into a bubbling acid line to compliment the latter in hope for enceladus that leave s the final cut of the ep byzantine times a laidback, groover, layered with delayed snares & synth lines make this emotive piece the perfect end to a solid 3 tracker.

final release ! brill deep and dubby chicago infected house monster, tipp
