Tevo Howard – Specificity EP [TTHR006]
Specificity EP from Tevo Howard featuring three lush tracks taken from the Tevo Howard “At All Pursuits” album.
Simoncino – Dream EP [LIES012]
Italian producer Nick Anthony Simoncino continues his prolific production run with a new four track EP, staying on course producing classic house music. True to form, tropically tinged, melodic, deep house music that will sound perfect in the upcoming summer months.
The Rhythm Odyssey – Celestial Vibrations EP [REKIDS063]
Dean Meredith, a veteran of dance music bestows the ‘Celestial Vibrations EP’, a flawless package of original material under project alias The Rhythm Odyssey that’s all acidic analog rawness and fuzzy vintage synths. Kicking off with ‘Ride On This’, a distant cowbell is soon engulfed by a marauding acid bassline. Tough and sexy, rich in rhythm and analogue drums, it’s no doubt got that air of warehouse nostalgia. Next up, Detroit-inspired ‘I Need It’ journeys into a deeper realm of hiss and noise, ‘get on and party’ vocals and the melodic synth line, soon melting into lush chords. On the flip, more raw percussion collides with a cosmically funky edge. B1 ‘Corner Of My Mind’ combines synth stabs and soaring string chords, with a hint of bassline funk creeping in alongside shimmering shakers. Further on the trippy, cosmic tip, the stripped down grooves of ‘Raw Nerve (Dub)’ are immersed in warm, spacey FX and quirky pitch bending synths.
Alex-Ander – Because Of Me [ANDER001]
Ander-Traxx is a fresh label operating out of Glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground House, and although mainly a platform for the label’s founder Alex-Ander to showcase his own productions, Ander-Traxx’s remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. ‘For this first release, Alex steps up to the plate to deliver ”Because Of Me”, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in Glasgow: Carlos Nilmmns, Meschi and Mesuma.

Hieroglyphic Being – FACT mix 333
“FACT mix 333 is a similarly giddy, similarly cliché-capsizing outing from Moss. Recorded on March 15, 2012, at the Musicbox club in Lisbon, it captures Moss across 2 hours and 45 minutes of live PA performance, vinyl DJing and editing on the fly. It’s by some distance the longest FACT mix we’ve ever hosted, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to edit it down: Moss’s exhilarating narrative, at times improvised and free-associating, at others coolly controlled, simply demands to be consumed as a whole.”

Jack Curtu – Senza Via D’Uscita [LXRC009]
In Italy’s deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. You can smell, taste and feel it. It’s cold sweat. From constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. Some say, it’s only paranoia. But you can’t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. Police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. Who are they? They are invisible. You can only see the bloodshed and the tears. And like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. This is the life of Jack Curtu. And his music takes you there. Three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. Senza via d’uscita – there’s no way out!
Metasplice – Topographical Interference EP [DOSER012]
“Metasplice is a twisted debussy-esque of primal drums+chords over top of the chaos.
the sound of an atom splitting.
the sound of a nuclear explosion; the sound of the end of the world…
dialogue between an electronic experiment in nature and a synthesizer.”
