monica hits the ground presents an 80’s industrial tape inspired release. subliminal messages and an unique sense of suffering are highlighted by his own vocals. wicked bedroom recordings, watching a decaying world through a little window.

uh oh! here we have last years ridiculously massive backwoods tracks remixed by esp institutes bad boys. the stallions (lovefingers and lee douglas) take dj kents hit cloud nine to the church of rave to meet a dirty belfast gospel that will turn your trout-pout upside down and leave your feet bleeding. just try to find a room big enough to hold this 12 minute monster! on the flip, cos/mes tropify the backwoods album opener awakening in a stylee that has become their signature, lush and loopy. this is a special collaboration between tokyos ene records and esp... dont slee

man-of-the-moment tiagos new project i-boat captain arrives on is it balearic..? recordings! >slower< is a beautifully smooth & laid back synth journey with added guitar melodies weaving a web of eastern influence while dipping its toes into subtly psychedelic waters. this is sunshine grooving at its best. the backwoods (dj kent) turn in a truly mesmerising remix. hypnotic and dreamy but with added 4/4 kick, this is mellow acid house done exceptionally well.

northern electronics back with beautiful new release

repress in printed sleeve incoming, set for september 2019!

london based bad passion project, aka chris stoker (ess o ess) and andy bainbridge (machete savane), finally unveil their new record label, not an animal records? for their first release, they present an ep from friend and frequent collaborator man power (correspondant, hivern discs), featuring 2 original productions, as well as stellar remixes from the backwoods aka dj kent (force of nature) & ess o ess.?

cd housed in a 4-panel digipak.

with this previously unreleased 1963 score for jindlich polaks ikarie xb-1, finders keepers present its third dedicated soundtrack by zdenek liska.

tbd, the decade-old project from doug lee (an-i) and justin van der volgen, is back! known for their set-defining big room monster jams, below sees them on a deep, heavy and very trippy analogue tip. synths wheeze and bubble while a thick syncopated bass and a giant kick drum keep the proceedings firmly locked to the dance floor. on the flip, legendary japanese dj and producer dj kent steps up on remix duty under his the backwoods alias. building off the original, he adds sharp percussion and tastefully refocuses the track, creating a perfect complimentary mix to the a-side.

discodromos ever-essential cocktail d amore label launches into action once more with the ear candy of komodo in tow. magic hour manages to work classic piano house tropes into a suitably cosmic headspace that s loaded with reverb and all things trippy, but its relatively grounded compared to the exotic meditation that the backwoods manage to conjure up on their oriental dub of the track. lizard dance channels early trance vibes to great effect in a celebration of early 90s rave mysticism and then sand dunes offers up a bubbling, friendly twist on acid house. using familiar tropes but still maintaining originality, from start to finish this is a classically rooted record with something to say.

eddie c, lauer, konstantin sibold, naum gabo and many more can be found on the 2nd part of >im starting to be ok< incl. jd twitch, daniele baldelli, marco dionigi, naum gabo, tom trago, the backwoods, eddie c, lauer, konstantin sibold, gonno

the first vinyl release from japanese unknown season imprint with 2 deep remixes by the backwoods and gonno.

since their debut late last year, land of light has cemented their rightful place as the makers of dreams. although their first release undoubtedly set a new bar among those who understand relentless craft, their quest for enlightenment diligently continues. during this pre-sophomore-album sabbatical, a chosen few have stepped up to the challenge that is remixing land of light. peaking lights dubs us into ether, tiago slides us into salsa, and the backwoods hug us tightly as we shed uncontrollable tears of joy... sounds pretty good, yeah

one of vahagns best friends (tiago from dfa, clearmont 56, golf channel, etc), has a residency at lisbons top club lux called trust. after attending one of these trust nights, this lisbon-based armenian musician arrived in his studio right after the club night and wrote the original material for this record in the course of a few hours. the result was so special, that soon groovement had it signed upon hearing, and contacted tiago to be the remixer for the track dedicated to him. a record with a story like this is bound to be good!
