Tom Noble returns to the Clone Loft Supreme series with some sunblazed disco boogie funk burner. As a dedicated, synth-crazed low-fi-delic, Tom Noble made a name for himself first with his dance-floor edits of ultra-rare disco discoveries. On the other side of the pond Al Kent from Million Dollar Disco fame is doing mor eor less the same as Tom Noble… so he was our number 1 pick for a remix on Tom’s Dancing Hard track (taken from his debut ep). Special mention on the Al Kent remix which is a incredibly well crafted music version with live instruments and a lot of attention for detail. Classic! Concluding that this is a essential package for all diggers and disco funk and boogie heads with sweaty disco funk slab’s for the late night disco action!

Apartment Record’s 2nd release comes from Ireland’s analogue-obsessed soul assassins, Tr One. On the A-side, “Drum Dance” is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duo’s machines. The B-side serves up 2 alternative takes. John Heckle’s debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the original’s drums while layering it with wistful synths, before Juju & Jordash’s Dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style; expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.

Voices from the Lake is an intensely personal project borne out of the long-standing friendship between two Italian DJ/producers, Donato Dozzy and Neel. The project extends and deepens their explorations of ambient techno, with an emphasis firmly placed on the ‘techno’ component. Listening to Voices from the Lake is an immersive experience, as the textured beats and carefully crafted rhythms have a deeply hypnotic effect. The open, fluid structure of the music gives it an organic, natural feel, transporting you to more peaceful surroundings. With the music of Voices from the Lake there is a completely natural progression and flow, nothing is forced or hurried. The sounds develop and unfold at their own pace, creating a powerful sense of tranquility.The genesis of the Voices from the Lake album can be found in the mountains of Japan, where they made their live debut at The Labyrinth festival in 2011.

Rivet puts a lot of effort in his sounds and his production. This is not another copycat. First out on the EP Amid the Roar is Metrist, a sexy march that blends the stiffness 80-ties disco with techno from the future. On the b-side Marcel Fengler takes his turn on Metris. He keeps the string of the original, chops up the bass and creates a dancefloor monster with a big anthem alert stamp on it. Amid the Roar ends with what might be the strongest track on the ep.
Functional Deep Techno from Mowar’s recent conscript, Searle, backed with a wicked slomo remix from Claro Intelecto. Searle’s original cuts strike upon aquatic acid with ‘Mind Transfer’, hypnotic, industrialized bleeps on ‘Succubus’ and driving acid Techno for ‘Unauthorized’, but the highlight has to be Claro’s gripping, beatdown remix of ‘Mind Transfer’, draggign the tempo down while opening up the space above, while still managing to create the sort of driving intensity you don’t usually feel at this pace.

Dario Zenker is back on Vakant with the label’s first release for 2012. 5 tracks that almost make a mini album but with pretty much individual tunes, with a touch of the more dark and sinister side of Vakant. Starting with ‘Where Are You’, a haunting yet hoping track that once again takes Dario as close to Detroit as one can get while living in the capital of Bavaria. Next one is ‘Hype’, less elusive than the opener, with a heavy drum pattern that demands a strong sound system to flower out completely. ‘Steppin To’ carries a bass line as thick and heavy as it can be and might be the most moody track of this package. Two more, ‘Works’ and ‘Tassel’, but we leave it up to you to discover, as writing about music we think is very limited due to its nature.
