Nokoman dropped out of the sky into the dunes off Lookhill. All he said was: ‘I want to use your SP1200 and your cell phone’.

Sonar Base – We Attack At Dawn EP [CE010]
Cultivated Electronics moves into its 10th release with an EP from long standing Dutch Electro pioneer Frank De Groodt under his Sonar Base alias. This is the 3rd landing from Sonar Base. ‘We Attack Before Dawn EP’ gives a nod to the mid 90’s Electro sound of Underground Resistance with 3 killer cuts from Sonar Base and a remix from CE label head Sync 24.
Model 500 – Control / The Messenger [RS1202]
Juan Atkins returns to R&S on a Model 500 solo mission. The last Model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes Detroit techno royalty Mike Banks and UR alumni Mark Taylor, but this latest release is just Juan in the studio and back at his best. ‘Control’ is vintage Model 500, the classic electro that Atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and Detroit synths. ‘The Messenger’ on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats.
