Sir Lord Commix – Knoe 6/1 [KNOE6/1]
Amoon Andrews may be a name known only to a few heads. As Sir Lord Commix, he released quality over quantity, putting out just 4 EPs in a ten year period which were criminally overseen by many. For Those That Knoe has worked hard with Amoon to put together a delectable selection of some undiscovered gems previously consigned to the archives on DAT. Freshly dusted off and remastered are four tracks that showcase the varied influences that drive Sir Lord Commix to provide those signature sounds. Pieces of a Dream is a heavy modern deep house track with swinging hi hats and a bassline from disco hell.

Jeremiah R. – The Outer Rings [KONDI016]
Copenhagen purveyor of melodic electro soul Kondi Records finally resurfaces after almost a decade with a new batch of tracks from man of the moment, Jeremiah R. Sleek nighttime electro in a deep but spacious melancholic vein of The Other People Place and Drexciya’s mellow aquatic dives. Includes an extended version of ‘The Outer Rings’, which appeared back in 2011 on the ultra limited ‘the 5th dimension’ album.

NHK yx Koyxen – Doom Steppy Reverb [DIAG034]
Japanese experimenter Kouhei Matsunaga has been quietly building an exceptional discography as NHK yx Koyxen and the numerous variances. With prior NHK yx Koyxen output on PAN, Skam and Raster Noton, Matsunaga’s growing alliance with Powell’s Diagonal label makes perfect sense. A fresh NHK yx Koyxen LP that expands on his fuzzy, texture-laden, leftfield techno blueprint. So, while there’s plenty of industrial-influenced darkness, claustrophobic tape hiss, and redlined rhythms, the Japanese artist also includes quietly beautiful textures and hazy, looped melodies. This is most evident on the foreboding, late night swing of “Y”, where the application of dub delays helps emphasize the skewed, doom-laden mood.
VA – Volume 1 [PB001]
P-Balans is a new imprint in the Future Nuggets emerging constellation. A tehnodelia ramification within the Bucharest electronic scene that will host rising names like Khidja and Borusiade while introducing new characters like The Holy Fix (Camil Dumitrescu, co-member of Delusion Men) and Utopus (Ion D, producer of Steaua de Mare, Raze de Soare, Anahore?ii among others) already featured on “Sounds on the Unheard from Romania vol. 2”. Keeping the same strategies of fusion and diffusion as Future Nuggets, P-Balans will explore the space traversal to techno, entering and exiting the dark halls of the club through multiple doors.
John T. Gast – Overseer [APRON025]
“Overseer” finds the illusive John T. Gast align with FunkinEven’s Apron label for a sharp, club-ready one-sided 12″. Gast’s appearance on Apron sees him fully engaging in techno forms on his own terms. Wasting little time to kick in, “Overseer” sees a coldly delivered spoken word vocal uttered amidst a cacophony of drum machine hits and synth-shaped drama.
