Julio Bashmore – Au Seve [BW001]
Julio delivers another peak time track. First release on his own label is a hybrid between Uk garage basslines, vocal samples, and a steady chicago-ish bouncy house groove combined with the effective drops to get them hands up.
VA – Time Dilation [SRT153]
A medley of immortally, electrifying, sonic gems assembled to manipulate time and secure a permanent space in your record box. Drivetrain’s ‘This Toxic Tempest‘ starts the clock with a classic Detroit-Tronic wave of pads and beats accompanied by the unconscious spoken word of poet/vocalist Goddess Stephanie. CloudMasterWeed’s ‘Love’ showcases impassioned vocal samples atop a thunderous bass with keyboard melodies sprinkled throughout in abysmal syncopation. J Garcia’s ‘Fireside Warm-Up’ is finely tuned deepness with no compromise to the dance floor. With their debut release, the dual Jay Ramsey and Jennifer Xerri comprise In2itive Motion. ‘Subliminal’ is a smooth expedition through the deep channels of audio seduction. Time stands still as rumbling subs cut through rich chords.
Tuff City Kids – Bobby Tracker EP [UTON002]
Second release on new Ostgut Ton imprint. Gerd Janson (head of Running Back) and Phillip Lauer (DJ, producer and 50% Arto Mwambe) step out of remix mode and release their first 12“ of original tracks as Tuff City Kids.
Albert Van Abbe – No Comment_0006 [NOCOMMENT006]
No Comment is a platform focused on sharing channeled auditive and synaesthetic/ multi sensory perceptions. The concept was conceived to help the energy levels rise towards the transcendence of spacetime, entering the multiverse. The message is in the music, this is your last call. Decode to be illuminated! Abdulla Rashim is on the remix duties on this one.
Eshu – Timeless EP [ESHU003]
The Eshu people return on their own imprint with the ‘Timeless ep’, a trippy and funky techno release for the after hours. The A-side gives us MM, a 10 minute long funk experience full of summery vibes. A slowbuilding beat gently moves on while beautiful chords start to grow and evolve out of nothing. The ‘Echologist Dub’ by Brendon Moeller takes the original and adds some thought out drum patterns, lush chord stabs and tight percussion. ‘Timeless’ is all about getting in the right mood. All it takes is a steady beat, some sharp hats and a couple of hypnotic layered tones and chords to do the work, this is one is for the afterhours.
Dimi Angelis & Jeroen Search – Oneindig EP [BALANS006]
Dutch minimalists Dimi Angèlis & Jeroen Search return for their second stripped down and abstract sonic affair on BALANS Records.
Anom Vitruv – Anom Vitruv [TABR011]
Tabernacle Records presents Anom Vitruv’s debut release, an assortment of densely layered tracks, building up to create a distinctly moody, unnerving atmosphere.
Flemming Dalum – Serie Disko! Nº16
River & Phoenix – Castle Rock EP [TAIN009]
Stand by us with this ode to childhood, youth and adolescence. Three brave hits that evoke the sweet innocence of days long gone, Chucks, striped tees and the question what kind of creature Goofy really is. For all you outsiders and insiders. A creative original Young Edits effort.
Antoine Rocky-Horror – Machine Gun Boogie [CC088]
Distributed by Peoples Potential Unlimited and brought to you by Cosmic Chronic, this hot 45 was produced and composed by Miami’s own Antoine Rocky-Horror. Featuring the Legendary Adrian Molina (The Molina Brothers, King Joffy + The Island Girls) on vocals for the B-side cut “Sophia”. As you’d expect from Cosmic Chronic and PPU, both sides are hot electro-boogie cuts with plenty of synth-funk action.
Kid Machine – Replicants EP [V023]

Juno Gang – Everybody Comes / Synthetica [DLV1015]
Release number 50 for the I Venti labels! This is our celebration release and comes in a special gatefold sleeve and on Red/Black vinyl. The great voices of Ken Laszlo, Ryan Paris, Marcello d’Azzurro and Monique can be heard on the epic song Everybody Comes. On the B-side you’ll find the previously unreleased extended version of Synthetica + the original 7” version which was released in 1989. The Juno Gang comes from Switzerland and is a collector’s favourite.
Ovatow – In Loving Memory of Juvenile Jay [HCS1000]
Ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications. ‘Flame’ and ‘A Thought’ are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. ‘Visitation Dub III’ is a different version of an Ovatow track, earlier released as part of the ‘Viewpoints Chapter One’ compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing BC’s ‘Presence’. The release is dedicated to the loss of South Rotterdam based DJ Juvenile Jay who played an important roll in the early DJ career of Frustrated Funk’s head honcho Klen, the man behind the Ovatow moniker.
Cn – Ra [WEME313.8]
Fantastic release by CN, also known as EOD, on WéMè Records. Retro futuristic electro tracks in the spirit of the Detroit originals by this talented producer named Stian Gjevik from Norway. This 6 tracks EP entirely composed with analogic machines will enter the brain of its listener and producing a pleasant and indelible feeling.
Der Zyklus – Krypton 84 [WEME313.7]
Abstract modern electronica by Heinrich Mueller. First new material for the Der Zyklus project since 2008. Killer electro experiments from the laboratory of Gerald Donald aka Heinrich Mueller aka Dopplereffekt aka Der Zyklus. Motorik bass arpeggios propel ‘Krypton 84’ through a 3D stereo field buffeted by toxic gas explosions and prodding bleeps, over to the half-tempo lab-waltz of ‘Thorium 232’ and the concluding ‘Untitled’ anomaly.
Marco Bernardi – Stratagalastico [AFS011]
Futuristic, razor-sharp techno from the Bristol based producer, dropping one of his deadliest EPs to date. ‘Stratagalastico’ is an absolute bomb of machine-made dynamite, dark and deadly for those who like to lurk in the shadows. Creepy shenanigans are most certainly the order of the day, but with that said, Marco ends the EP with a deep, melodic piece titled ‘Bugs in the Virus’, a transcendent composition that enriches the Stratagalastico experience and completes the package.
The Exaltics – Node EP [MA002]
After a very promising debut Modal Analysis strikes back with its second release, from The Exaltics. The mysterious electro master delivers two original tracks. Node#1 and Node#2 are mind-twisting tracks suitable both for home listening and club use. The EP finishes with a killer dance-floor remix of Node#2 by Delta Funktionen.
