Traxx – To The Beat Bizarre! [LIH003]
New release by Traxx, the head of Nation and originator of Jakbeat, on the Lumberjacks in Hell imprint. Traxx from Chicago is a legend behind the decks and a visionare on his Nation, championing an electric, distinctive and highly emotional sound defined as Jakbeat.

Murphy Jax – Kevin Spacy / Smoove Drama [CJFD009]
Murphy Jax returns with his 2nd twelve inch for Clone with some retro Chicago inspired tracks. Comes with one of those rare remixes by Orgue Electronique.
Spekter – Pipe Bomb [SS043]
Jared Wilson – Let Your Body, Make Your Body [DOLLY006]
Weird yet very funky & playable Chicago inspired house/acid tracks by Detroit’s Jared Wilson. Jacking rhythms, nasty 303 basslines and whispering voices creating this nice old-fashioned sexual energy. Conforce on remix duties delivers a deep & moody techy house rework.
Herman – Rock Your Body [FA025]
Basic Soul Unit returns to his Herman project with an excellent early chicago influenced house track. Seriously good track that is weird and wonky with much quality in the drum programming. Very spacious without being cheeky. It comes comes with an utterly irresistible rework from Vakula reminiscent of the halcyon days of chi house.
Joey Anderson – Written In The Stars Mix
Meschi – Shifting Harbour EP [LDR008]
Meschi aka Paul Mitchell returns on Lunar Disko Records to present his debut EP ‘Shifting Harbour’. Four tracks encompassing soundtrack, ambient, electro, and Chicago influences.
Achim Maerz – This Is The End [FA027]
Achim Maerz makes his debut on Fine Art with a 5 track EP release. Tracks that are upbeat & summerish with a classic groove! Early Chicago influences are obvious, but Achim added a nice contemporary touch.
Lawrence – Above The Sky [MULE077]
Hypnotic deep house tune with melancholic piano chords with monotone synth sounds to very nice ambient house sound from Lawrence on Mule Electronic.
Braille – The Year 3000 [RHDC009]
Braille serves up a firing couple of tracks on Rush Hour’s Direct Current sub label…. ‘The Year 3000’ is a vocal house mover that craftily reworks a classic Chicago house vocal and gives it new life back into the future. ‘Leavin Without You’ is built around a heartfelt vocal soul sample, which cuts in and out of the mix leaving room the music to take off leaving planet earth. Braille creates a perfect balance between the old and the new and shows us the way forward.

Bill Youngman – HH3 [KILLE003]
HH3 is a techno masterpiece by top notch producer Bill Youngman. It’s futuristic and cold. Massive dark drones and ambience build up its very unique atmosphere. For their remix of HH3, techno shooting stars Sandwell District added some industrial flavor.
Reno Wurzbacher / Mike Dehnert – Miju EP [COLOMBAGE001]
Colombage is a new division of Fachwerk Records focusing on more house releated tracks. Reno Wurzbacher delivers a smooth warm track that feels like a warm breeze on a summer night. Friendly and nice! Flip side is done by Mike Dehnert himself with a typical track for him, techy chords, fierce percussion with nice rides and slowly building.
Donato Dozzy – In Bed [ASD017]
The third part in Absurd Recordings’ Acid Test Series is “a spaced out ambient acid tune” recorded for the Labyrinth festival in 2010 by Donato Dozzy. Labelmate Tin Man remixes the track on the flipside and turns it “into a dark tripped out acid journey” with his added vocals.

Roy of the Ravers – Green Irish Tweed LP [CF054] FREE DOWNLOAD
Roy of the Ravers releases his debut album, a somewhat deeper and darker affair than the “2010 Annual” EP and showing another side to the enigmatic acid-purveying, comic strip plagiarising hardware aficionado. Anyone else wondering what happened to track 16? Us too.
Tropic Of Cancer – The Sorrow Of Two Blooms [BLACKEST003]
A new release by Tropic of Cancer, the LA-based duo of Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez (aka Silent Servant). They make make raw, visceral music in the loose tradition of minimal synth, post-punk, industrial and goth, produced with authority and a supremely evolved grasp of spatial arrangement. Superb experimental edged & punk drone-rock infected cuts.
