Model Man – Forever Strangers [BAP001]
Model Man is the nom de plume of the diverse Dutch man DJ Overdose. ‘Forever Strangers’ is the second Model Man release with dark dense electro pop, sinister and playful on the new Bordello A Parigi imprint. DJ Overdose brings you pain and sorrow in this melancholic journey to a rainy Parisian whore-house. Don’t expect any joy, just go through the motions and find yourself en route to a deserted subway station in the 13th arrondisement.

Gonno – Acdise #2 [IFFM001]
With shades of the joyous melodic soundscapes, ‘ACDise #2’ holds you in a hypnotic malestrom, as the lush, warped strings climb higher and higher, surrounding you with their beauty and intensity, pushing you ever closer to the eye of the storm, before it shatters into the brilliant light of a thousand crystalline pieces. The EP comes with a stripped down acid-cussive version from Swedish Techno machines Skudge and another storming remix from Gatto Fritto and a beautiful ambient track ‘Turn to Light’.

Svreca – Seda Muerta (Female Remix) [SEMANTICA018S]
JS aka James Zeiter – JS-04 [JS004]
Prime dub techno from JS Zeiter. There’s no denying his affections for Basic Channel here, reverently prostrating himself at their altar with the pulsing kicks and wafting dub chords on the A-side. However, with the simple addition of shuffled snares on the flip, the formula results in a towering techno colossus, subtly modulated from start to finish for proper heavy effect.
Cosmin TRG – Simulat [50WEAPONSCD003]
Romanian producer Cosmin TRG release his debut artist album, Simulat, on Fifty Weapons. Made up of 12 new tracks, each has been exclusively produced for the album whilst CD-only track ‘Fizic’ is the lead single, as it was already released in June. There are tracks which will work both on and off the dancefloor, but it’s the way they’re threaded together and make for one cohesive and coherent statement overall that stands them apart. Taking appropriate detours into deeper pockets; areas of warm analogue ambiance and abstract alien sounds, there are traces of everything that has gotten Cosmin to this point so far, all re-visioned with an ever shifting focus. Once again confirming Cosmin to be a producer in constant experimental flux, Simulat speaks loudly of an essential talent.
