“volna” is an uncompromising and unadulterated approach to techno. the ominous “olga” intertwines desolate synthpads with a raw acid sound while the metallic abrasiveness of “drawner” constitutes a glowing tribute to industrial music. “signal” is a more aerial iteration of infinite fields’ techno with its chimerical melodies.

fraction of time presents a raw and hybrid techno. the uncompromising * wfs* is in line with the original social concern of the detroit techno pioneers and should have an instant impact on any clubber anywhere. the b-side contains two tracks, * zygomatiques* and * slow suicide*, with elaborate melodies and funk influences. the use of analog synthesizers brings a radiant aspect to these tracks.

so far in its fledgling career, the ultra knites label has been populated by collaborations of the same name from the two founders sem marini and mike sharon. this third release sees the pair showcase their talents as solo artists with the first in a series of knite grooves releases, with sharon calling shotgun and manning proceedings on the a side. with a lilting female vocal hook, soft pads and jazzy rhodes touches, -people- is a classicist take on ny house that features some weighty kick drums, whilst -field of dreams- opts for a approach that s more indebted to the likes of mr fingers. marini delivers a peak time bumper in the shape of -voltage- which contrasts nicely with the deep rolling business of final track -music takes me-.

ltd repress , chaos in the cbd s ben & louis helliker-hales team up with long-time friend and collaborator jon sable to present their new imprint ‘in dust we trust.’ in dust we trust is an ode to a collection of friends who share a certain understanding, who live by a love and respect for the people around them. that friend who saves that last puff for you, that friend who will share their drink with you when you can t afford your own, that friend who will learn how to drive a car on the spot because you re too drunk to make it home. kicking things off with a release from chaos in the cbd, ‘accidental meetings’ is a record that celebrates this way of living. the four cuts effortlessly move you through a journey of delicate textures and atmospheres. it begins with the late night basement sounds of the title track, then sends you through the spacious and meditative ‘north pole cafe.’ the wild rhythms of ‘united identities’ hypnotise you, until you find yourself spat out by the energetic grooves of ‘distorted fields.’ play it in the club, play it in the hotbox, or play it for your mum, this record is filled with soulful, rhythmically complex, melancholic music that is unmistakably dusty.
