A Chicago legend who paved way in the underground with his Mr. Peabody record shop, the one and only, Mr. Mark Grusane steps up to L.I.E.S. with “Angry Birds”. On this six tracker Grusane locks in and demonstrates an important facet of the Chicago sound that is often overlooked with a nod to the infamous “Reactor” sound pioneered by DJ RUSH. A rare style mostly shunned by jocks (and producers) on the modern floor, this record is full of straight up circle pit machine programmed madness, chaos of the highest order…This is for the ones who know, the ones who have been obsessed, and the ones who need to know…this record sets it all off. Full on referee whistle chippin, neck snappers for those who dare to step into the real jackin zone. Hi octane, full swerve, blowing through red lights all nite long.

No fillers, just groove for dancers who still believe the floor is a testing ground for what comes next.

UK producer Tom Carruthers delivers another masterclass for Skylax, diving deeper into the DNA of house music with ‘Deepline’, a 5-track journey that connects the raw futurism of the late ’80s to the deep innovations of the early ’90s. Known for his MPC-driven grooves, Carruthers has become a true guardian of machine funk — always stripped down, always pure.

Another massive offering from the one and only Mick Harris, continuing on in his Culvert Dubs Sessions experimentations with a new 2xLP. Once again Mick delves deep into the shadow realm of slow beat, psychedelic heavily textured, grinding dub techno. Eight tracks of absolute industrialized, delay swept, full pressure, sound system shaking murk ridden, dark water dubs. Top form work when Mick lets loose in this wild style, just the right balance of beauty, restraint and brutality. Total heavy weight music.

Anchorat is an 8 track album built from the first eight pieces of two separate releases published on Achordat. The project explores the idea of being “anchored” in a sea composed entirely of Achordat soundsfluid, shifting, and alive.
The same sonic relics used to generate the original tracks have been reworked, recontextualized, and set into motion once again. Rather than remaining fixed, these elements evolve, reflecting the organic nature of Achordat’s sound palette where tones are never static, but continuously transforming. This album is not just a reconstruction, but a re anchoring: a return to familiar material that reveals new forms through change, repetition, and time.

Sakskobing’s tenth anniversary celebrations are cut across by a dispiriting declaration: ‘Infinity Is Over’. Not one to play too many away games, local Netherlands DJ and producer-abstruser Jeroen Böhm makes the fatigable fashionable again, snubbing the extended mix, invariable techno form for rationed, baggy FM house and electro with ‘Optimistic’ and ‘The Lodge’, A-side track titles which seem to laugh in the face of hope. Meanwhile, a sweeping staredown with ambient electro is pulled off with grace on ‘Countryside’, an understandably much-needed escape after such a grave realisation.

Some 17 years after the first missive landed in record stores, Moustache Records popular multi-artist EP series, ‘You Can Trust a Man With a Moustache’, returns for its sixth instalment. Doctr gets us going with the spiralling Hi-NRG-meets-acid thrills of ‘Our Minds Belong Together’, before Theo Scuera joins the dots between rave-igniting early 90s house and the more muscular, sweat-soaked end of mid 90s progressive house on the colossal ‘Your Virus’. David Vunk and Ben La Desh join forces on B-side opener ‘Unrealized Prophet’, a veritable whirlwind of muscular techno drums, buzzing riffs and broken modem electronics, while Patricio Diaz’s ‘Welcome To My Hell’ is a bouncy and mind-mangling slab of peak-time acid nostalgia tailor-made for dark basements and flagging dancefloors. This release is a tribute to Bob the Landlord, who became known in Rotterdam after appearing in a documentary about the harbor cafe Willems Kantine.
