LONE - Galaxy Garden (Front Cover)

Matt Cutler is back with his fifth album, which is an impressive feat in just five years of releasing music. Galaxy Garden starts off on a more esoteric tip with the tropical electronica of “New Colour”, in its sunshine chimes. By the time we get to “Lying In The Reeds” we’re up to a house tempo that harks back to the softer side of early Detroit. It’s when “Crystal Caverns 1991″ starts up that we reach the most blatant distillation of old-skool; kicking off a breakstep beat with sweet but punchy 90s synths, the track cuts into a deadly rave motif without so much as a pause in the beat and it’s like being back in, er, 1991. Every track reeks of originality, whether it be the surprising track structures, the superbly detailed production, even the evocative imagery that the music conjures up.

Detroitrocketscience & Kuba Sojka – 22.300 Miles Above Neo-Detroit [MSR006] by hipodrome

Alan Oldham aka Detroitrocketscience shares a retro-sounding Neo-Detroit split with Kuba Sojka. Oldham’s two tracks trek across trippy, metallic harmonics on ‘Curved Space’ and proper, swinging hi-tek funk calculations on ‘Black Math’. Sojka meanwhile offers the acid-licked and uptempo 313 romance of ‘Low Gravity’ and ‘Black Hole’s plush Techno soul.

MAGIC MOUNTAIN HIGH - The Schnitzel Box Vol 1 (Front Cover)

News first surfaced over a year ago of Move D collaborating with Juju & Jordash on an analogue heavy live project entitled Magic Mountain High with the added promise of Workshop released material to follow. Several illuminating festival appearances and many months later and the Workshop label finally present The Schnitzel Box Vol 1, with three untitled productions from the trio that ensure the wait was worth it. Granted the freedom of the A Side, the opening track is allowed the time and space to incorporate both brooding analogue drone and sprawling key laden melodic glisten. Flip over and “Untitled 2″ is quicker off the blocks, swiftly settling into a fizzing house jam rich in warm colour and tone and driven by crisp Roland rhythms, whilst the final arrangement is surely the most eminently danceable with yet more warm analogue patterns and Hitchcockian synth drones worming their way around a skipping techno beat.

@playlist artwork

Free digital release on San Francisco’s Non Seq Records. It’s the first volume in the “John McCainn & The Cybernetic Chamber” series featuring two tracks. ”Zsa” is a peak time acid-and-909 love-fest lacing together late 80′s Belgium New Beat with modern Berghain-friendly rhythm kits. ”Shawty Rock” finds itself more comfortable on the 4am floor, with a broken kick driving rave breaks under an atmosphere of airy synths, reverb-laden piano and croons from The-Dream.

Neil Landstrumm – Night Train EP [KILLEKILL006] by hipodrome

With catalog number 006 another techno legend joins the Killekill family. Neil Landstrumm has delivered a handful of tracks which combine his typical dirty techno sound with the aesthetics of UK Bass. Extremely funky and with a big drop of acid they cross over electro, techno and even hip hop and therewith fit perfectly to the sound of our label. The co-production of weirdo mastermind Si Begg on ”Touch it” just adds the icing on the cake.
