Maarten van der Vleuten – Internaut EP [SHIP019]
Maarten van der Vleuten, one of the godfathers of Dutch Techno and a true electronic music pioneer, on Shipwrec serves up his own recipe for Electro in the form of the ‘Internaut EP’. The title piece takes the rhythmic mould of the 808 but shifts the floorboards with industrial soundscapes and UK Techno sidesteps framing. A morphing and melting piece of otherworldly Electronics, over ten minutes of shifting synthsizer sands. “Holographic Inserts” lands with terse clips and pulsing basslines before a rumbling analogue chord breaks the surface. Warbling bulwarks of space meet clinical lines in an immense track of expansive proportions. An epic of atmospheric, sinister and sharp sounds; a style pushing the boundaries of Electro.
DeFekt – Switch [SIG004]
Fourth release on Signal Code from one of Irelands finest producers DeFeKT. Here he delivers four top quality, chilled, smooth synth-laden electro tracks that will definitely stand the test of time. Electro has always had this timeless quality when it’s done right and this is certainly the case with this release.

Durant – The Dove Ultimatum [VVR005]
Vae Victis can’t hide their love and passion for raw house and techno. On this 5th release there is another fine selection of hybrids between styles perfectly expressing their love for genre bending music. Durant exists out of a small collective of producers with main roles for Steve Murphy, Die Roh and Lucretio. The Dove Ultimatum, a 4 tracks ep of punchy analogue electronic music. On the a-side lay General Motors and At Ten, 2 broken beat electro techno tracks a la Drexciya showing the hardest and most experimental side of the project. While on the flip the trio bring things on a housier field, though staying loyal to the a-side vibe by delivering 2 dark and obsessive raw house tracks.
Factory Aire – B.O.Y. [SHK006]
Shaddock’s sixth outing features the young talented L.A. based artist Jeremy Berman aka Factory Aire, including remixes by two longtime companions DJ Stingray and Atom™ as well as the ominous Auxon.nThe original title – B.O.Y is an epic-futuristic track, rich in complexity and varied melodic levels subtley playing with heavy, stomping beats. DJ Stingray delivers a stunning rework with his unique, fast paced blend blurring the borders between Jungle, Electro and Bass Music while Atom™, returns to his old Acid House heights dropping a 120 bpm house killer. Auxon’s high-energy rerub puts a more modern touch to this disco-spacey crusade adding some vital sparks of trance.
Jupiter Jazz – Booty Jazz [ELL011]
Jupiter Jazz dropping their inaugural EP ‘Booty Jazz’ are sucking the dancefloor into their flaming orbit and leaving all inhabitants senses back on earth. ‘Shake It Mama’ launches the booty theme with a vortex of dirty, dark 80s electro, growling low-end and Cameo style vocoder while a smoother groovier deeper vibe shimmers through ‘Technology’ on the b-side. Taking a weirder turn ‘Good Girl’ seals the package with a sleazy male vocal line, tight drums and hypnotic pads. So let Jupiter Jazz drag you into the black hole of ‘Booty Jazz’ for some intergalactic misbehavior.

Renato Figoli – Funkoholic [AMAM025CD]
‘Ladies and gentlemen, we are going through an area of turbulence, we ask all passengers to remain seated, with your seatbelts fastened…’ Anyone who’s ever experienced the treacherous descent to Cagliari airport will totally understand Renato Figoli’s fear of flying, but in contrast to the loudspeaker announcement that introduces Funkoholic, the Sardinian producer’s album is anything but turbulent – the smoothest of takeoffs, superb in-flight entertainment and controlled touchdown make it an early contender for one of 2013’s most rewarding listens. Funkoholic allowings Renato the scope to fully realize his potential while setting out a musical doctrine that merges deep techno, funk, dub, jazz and ambience in a truly idiosyncratic manner. The album consists of nine tracks, each linked by elegantly crafted ambient transitions that leave the listener in a state of suspended animation. This constant alternation between inner space and outer space is one of the album’s defining features, balancing style and content in equal measures.
Cuba Gooding – The 1st Cuba Gooding Album: Love Dancer [EXP2CD22]

The highlight though is the 2 stepper ‘All I Can Give You is Love’. Expansion Records includes the two classic albums on one CD. The first Coba Gooding album Love Dancer.
