rising amsterdam-based star esther duijn leads the charge with a hypnotic, understated slice of dub techno that grooves in all the right places. label boss brothers vibe then steps up with a sharp-edged, percussion led workout that blooms into a fulsome, acidic jam laced with techno futurism and pure machine soul. german production duo youandme are regular collaborators with brothers vibe, and here they join forces for the tough, drum-pounding playing with toys. rodriguez also takes the opportunity to unveil the silent rodgerz alias, championing the toad red vision with a daring, experimental trip through abstractmodular-synthesizer processes that build towards a jacking rhythmic throw-down.

on just their second release the micronesia crew are already proving themselves to be impeccable selectors when it comes to curating their various artist gatherings. ulithi opens in a gloriously serene funk courtesy of lk, who pushes deep house right to the edge of consciousness with untitled. shanahan & lynch rise to the challenge and head even further out into ambient pastures with the ethereal pulse of ask, before duijn & douglas whip up a hypnotic cycle of chords and rhythms for the deep end of the night. omar santis and vgav maintain the mellow disposition of the record perfectly, leaving you with five fresh, thoughtful variations on gentle house and techno.

there is a new label on the horizon and it s first release is all about warm heavy detroit influenced deep techno. another earth combines 2 acts together in a split ep series which compliment each other s sound. the a-side hosts the renowned u.s. based producer, myles serge (ms - re(form)) who, for these 2 tracks, let his machines run crazy beat patterns in a old school detroit techno vibe. the b-side features dutch based duo duijn and douglas (esther duijn and steady douglas). their stripped warm heavy padded deep techno influenced tracks are perfect for creating some heat on the dance floor and the b2, stray, is driven by berenice van leer s lush intense voice.

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.
