los angeles-based producer ashtrejinkins steps aside from the beat scene that he has long associated himself with on “hood temperature” under the brown irvin alias. four cuts of bare-boned experimental house and techno - the sonic equivalent of standing on a street corner in south central l.a and observing the scene at 3am. it also features a remix from london-based producer g.w. under his ruffien alias.

for the next lost release leftwing & kody have drafted in max chapman. only three years ago max was tipped by pete tong as one to watch. on side a, the lead track temperature is a delightful slice of deep house with lingering bassy washes, jacking drum patterns topped off with a killer female voice

as summer sets into fall, we deliver an ep that functions like one of those lights-on hand-clappers you get when the djs been asked to kill the music at the end of a long, sweaty night but for the season. its a last-ditch effort to keep the sun shining and the temperature high, a final bid to keep the days starting early and ending late. we know the inevitable is around the corner, but for a moment more we can pretend its not.

we are living in precarious times. a senile, racist old man prone to temper tantrums has his tiny hands on the controls of the most powerful military machine the world has ever known. a handful of his (no less dangerous) international business associates and personal friends possess more collective wealth than the rest of us put together. the oceans and forests of the planet are dying slow deaths by asphyxiation, force fed 300 million tons of single use plastic garbage every year, and the temperature, both literal and rhetorical, rises the world over with each passing day.

4 years can feel like a really long time – -long time no see- was achim maerz frst wake up! ep back in 2013, -it s been a while- is his frst track on metal and machines and it s good to see that some things don t change. it s a true achim maerz track – focused on longing melodies, warmly distorted harmonies based on deep house foundations. -listening to machines- features a kickdrum like a steam hammer in factory hall. for the right mind, even a factory can be an inspiring place. benjamin brunn s -iron copper gold- follows his manner of creating timeless and eternal soundscapes. it is less playful and takes the tension to higher grounds. just like metal, it s cold being touched and it doesn t take long until it reaches body temperature. the fourth track express mode- was released on benjamin brunns drop lp in 2015. achim maerz remix sounds like a screwed-down uptempo house track – slow and heavy, but benjamin brunn s quirkiness is undeniably there.

step back trax takes a step up to the vinyl game with its second release, a collection of 6 smoking tracks by various artists from all around the globe. the style range is wide with some warm sampled cuts, as well as some club ready bangers.

after 2016’s mini-album shady and light, composer and guitarist martyn heyne releases his first full-length record electric intervals on the new 7k! imprint. says heyne: the number of parameters that determine a recording appears to be infinite. the mood, instrument, tuning, mics, room, temperature, time of day, all contribute to sound. the magic, once captured, is impossible to recreate. this might seem a hindrance, but it’s really the whole point of recording for me.’ opener ‘carry’, for example, is a composition carefully developed over months with most of the production happening in front of the microphone. ‘wilde wide’, however, was recorded only once as an early-morning improvisation. having worked with dustin o’halloran on the emmy-winning transparent soundtrack and with clarinettist claudio puntin as part of the duo set aglow, heyne’s sound is one of simplified diversity. on his debut album he controls each melody with the precision of a veteran producer.

freshly dressed after a double helping of made to measure goodness, aficionado size up another summer time smash for the sandal-wearing masses. keen to capture the coastal cool of the wirral peninsula, the label crack out the crystals and summon strange-wave sorceress brenda ray for another hit of her interplanetary excellence. wandering from new age haze to celestial rays on this tripped out trio, our genre blending genius takes the fourth world into the fifth dimension of psychedelic sound. our spiritual journey begins with the chakra cleansing solartude , an out-of-body beauty which bathes us in swirling flute, dreamy chimes and shimmering tape delay before sending us off towards the orient. eastern tones and hushed vocals ride a glistening sequence as this flawless fusion of exotica and dub suggests a medicated martin denny stumbling out of chinatown and into a humid mangrove. next stop on the voyage of self discovery is space dustin , a lunar lullaby for lucid dreamers which sees brenda spin fairlight mallets, celestial keys and whispered vocals into an immersive ode to the outer rim. floating free of space and time, perhaps you too can glimpse the excellent birds. over on the flipside and the temperature begins to rise. skip, hop to bop sees brenda dabbling with dub techno, setting basic channel synths and stirring strings to a skittering rhythm. dislocated and disoriented we descend into a strange subterranean world of rothschild parties, lynchian noir and muffled techno. surrounded by swirling voices, shuffling percussion grabs hold of you and all that remains is to sway.

what is amateur space jazz? one could call it a lo-fi minimal wavish version of cosmic space jazz and anything closely related to it...from spiritual soul, g-funk, ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between...no knowledge of musical theory is required...played with a d.i.y punk approach on crappy digital synthesizers - preferably with dubious renditions of real instruments. warmed up to the right temperature with some offbeat effectsbox. multitracking is a technique widely used...to create a one person band with all its members oneselfs multidimensional copies in time........comes with a 24 page graphic novel written and drawn by danny wolfers himself and a nightwind amateur space jazz gummy domed sticker.......lets enter world of amateur space jazz!!!

funk is a dish best served hot and these two modern funk anthems are bound to get your body temperature up.“cupid’s arrow” recounts a tale of genuine love at first sight over an infectious synth funk groove, it’s honest and true to life content make it very relate-table to anyone who has been awestruck by a woman’s beauty. “let’your body show you how” is an up-tempo modern funk tune that covers the story of a young man who conquers a high school crush after a chance meeting. the songs hypnotic bass line and hard-hitting drums are well complemented by asterix music’s silky vocals.

presenting the new ssaliva release on ekster: we never happened. 180g vinyl packed in a pantone printed outer sleeve with drawing by charles-henry sommelette. comes with printed inner-sleeves and silk screened plastic oversleeve. i am a vessel. a muffled mass. a bulk. extent. a womb. i move. so i am neither here nor there. always somewhere in between. to give substance to this frame, i carve out a piece of me. sometimes a shape, sometimes a form. into this space i pour the siege of me: words, pictures, you. so we can become me. viscosity and temperature dictate the time it takes. when it is done, i break the mold i am. i take the cast inside and place it by the others. choose one and take it home.

quite frankly, in order to perceive the complete and total benefit of the side-throw half-wainshaft, the bushing and flange coupler of the main headshaft need to be in exact accordance with the specifications set forth in special bulletin 18.ab. if they are not of the proper dimensionary properties as discussed, the temperature compensation heat-load cycle runs the risk of over-flagguleation of the secondary belleville load-shedding pumped main suspension bearing, and that may lead to inaccordant oscillation of the tertiary and also quadranary and sextanary torque-bearing quadrant-shafts. simply put... 4 cuts and vinyl only!

neues album des charlatans-frontmanns tim burgess mit dem renommierten new yorker musiker peter gordon, der in den späten 1970 ern zusammen mit arthur russell und dem love of life orchestra futuristische musik aufnahm, die tim burgess bis heute begeistert. -same language, different worlds- wurde von gordon in new york produziert, an den aufnahmen nahmen weitere kultmusiker wie ernie brooks (neben arthur russell frühes mitglied der modern lovers), peter zummo (posaune), mustafa ahmed (conga) und nik void (von factory floor) teil.

leyden jars curdled sound palette is the product of shredding time-lapse ones, twos & in some cases threes out of a hackney penthouse basement...ground flaw...a wall of havana circuitry as a foil to voltage-controlled oyster cards...half-glass isle, half-unknown quantity...the sound of untended vessels spewing o’er in coils of electro-acoustic froth...ibm

following his appearances on riviera disco vol. 1, 2 and 5, bijou is back in the bordello and ready to bring some cool to these hot summer nights. sun countered by sea. soothing synthlines, airy analogue tones and gentle currents characterise the two openers, bijou calling on calming waves and peaceful percussion to begin. the belgian producer allows the temperature to rise for reine des plages , broad basslines and funk laden bars dancing late into the night. but those fresh breezes are ever present, closing in the beach bronzed beauty of la maree .

temperature s rising, the very first collaboration between perc and passarella death squad,came out quietly in 2010 and has since grown steadily into a cult favourite.now it returns on perc trax, remastered for 2016, with the original vocal mix having a full side of vinyl to itself for the first time.on the b-side is the temperate dub,originally created back in 2009 but which until now has remained unreleased. dubbing out the original mix by reducing the vocal to a few echoing syllables it is a fresh take on an well loved favourite.released on transparent red vinyl

new emmanuel top label. lost in berlin is a mechanical angry monster with multiple arms that swings around for destruction. it’s unstoppable for words, you have to accept the fact that you have been hit by a concrete wall. what i love in records is the menace inside it that builds up. the impossible energy that drags you in to this tunnel of a white dimension with grey electric colors. bipolaire: it all starts with a kick, not a simple kick but a et kick and before you know it you are struck by lightning. the subs are playing with you, simple but again with atomic temperature. the acid sound that hits you is never going to surrender his inferior temper. capture: only that words remind me of the spirit capture and it’s not easy make an equivalent of the original that is not even made with the inspiration of the mod wheel. it’s not just a wicked intro that can take you to different roads. you can decide what way you will take but be careful with what comes next.

its always unwise to judge a label thats still taking its first steps, but banoffee pies has barely put a foot wrong since launching a couple of years back. here, the bristol-based imprint continues with its successful split release formula, gathering together a quartet of tracks from up-and-coming producers. beaner kicks things off with the bumpin , low-slung deep house grooves and delay-laden guitar samples of it takes two, before philou louzolo raises the temperature with the looped horn samples and thumping beats of alter ego. flip for the dreamy balearic house goodness of ron wilson s albino turtle, and the bongo-laden, after-party deep house shuffle of mome s assatta.

playful energetic techno tracks rooted in the early detroit tradition! (note... not the the mid 90 s loop techno/minimal techno version). this is the heavier gyro workout from ed dmx on his duo release on ride the gyroscope. both recommended!!!

the second issue of tiptop audio records attests to the labels attitude towards developing a nuanced sound set to become a standard for production.?the line-up for tiptop records includes big names of a scene now described as modular techno, which consists of a fast growing group of artists interested in expanding their compositional techniques through modular synthesizer systems. the vinyl format is a testimony to the labels dedication to produce music in a physical form. the result is a?four side, double lp packaged in original artwork (including a special poster) by italian artist matteo giampaglia, with handmade lettering by caterina scardillo. it is an invitation to a territory of oscillations, and?a trip of 10 (+ 2 extra digital) tracks that reconsiders the concept of sound design applied to electronic club music

the television screen is the retina of the minds eye david cronenberg, videodrome 1983. passarella death squad lynchpin danny passarella collaborates with london techno producer perc to create 5 soundscapes echoing erotica viewed through supercharged synapses to accompany the recent series of artworks created by danny passarella that share similar voyeuristic obsessions. lavishly colourful, the listener is drawn towards them, like an obsessive james woods slithering into his television in the climactic sequence of cronenberg’s horror classic videodrome. available as a limited edition 12- see-through blue vinyl release, the 5 tracks act as an abstraction and intensification of the mood set with their previous collaboration temperature s rising .

scubas phenix triptych reveals its final panel. a bite-size story in and of itself, and a fitting end-part to the greater sum, 3 feels like the latest acme of a diverse career. this is traditional beginning-middle-end story-telling: silence s call-and-response foretells of a blue funk ahead - funk in the figurative - as nineteen eighty transposes old chicago into an ad rem context. the disquiet continues on the other side, with plateaus exacting techno pulse underscoring astral synth work. tempo and temperature are pushed to an extent worthy of the resolution fade provides with its informal pace, acoustic disposition and celestial chimes
