Pablo Mateo – Old Cars In New Man [LACK006.1]
A handcrafted journey through a post-punk ghetto house childhood. All colours are beautiful pt.I. 6 Tracks by Pablo Mateo from Lackrec in Berlin.
Credit 00 – Party Beats [UV028]
Here are some plain and simple cuts by yours truly Credit 00 that push just the right buttons to make people move. The tracks were made exclusively for his live set but they are too good to keep them back. Without superfluous frills these four bangers scream “Party” in every note but as usual with Credit 00 there’s also a melancholic side somewhere behind those tricky beats.
Homework – Palindrome 1 [LPHWHT007]
The dynamic Amsterdam-based duo Homework join the Let’s Play House family this May with their four-track ‘Palindrome 1’ EP out on the imprints White label.
Vincent Floyd – I Dream You [RHRSS015]
Originally released on Dance Mania, ”I Dream You” is an absolute Chicago House classic. It is one of the deepest and most soulful releases the label put out in their early days, and it totally captures Vincent Floyd’s signature sound.
Jeff Mills – Exhibitionist 2 (Part 1) [AX067]
The first installment of 12″ EP from “Exhibitionist 2” DVD+CD due out in September 2015. In Jeff’s words: “Expanding the art forms in Dance Music has always been an agenda that needs constant monitoring because it has the ability to evolve and develop each and every idea. At angles that are not easy to see or understanding for most of the listening and dancing audiences, I’ve always felt that Dance music would make more sense to the people if they were allowed chances to understand how the music is being programmed and made – to witness this process from beginning.”
Abstract Division – Metropolis [DREF025]
To Abstract Division, the city of Detroit and its artists are a major source of inspiration. As such, they decided their newest Metropolis EP was to be a homage, a means of giving back. This special package includes an original track that keeps close to the spirit of melodic, rhythmic, minimalism Detroit is known for. It also features three very special remixes by close friends Oscar Mulero – under his Trolley Route alias – Function, who ups the darker ante and Marcel Fengler who infuses it with his trademark Berlin funk.
Psyk – Human [MOTE043]
Spanish producer Psyk (a.k.a. Maan or Manuel Anós) is an audio technician who makes good on his name; each of his new releases acting like a steely sonic probe to be launched into the as-of-yet uncharted depths of the psyche. His newest release for the Mote-Evolver label is solid and elemental techno as ever: it fits neatly into the label’s stylistic template of mesmerizing precision yet never forsakes individuality in order to do so. Like Psyk’s other offerings for this label, the new EP works its magic on the central nervous system with a perfectly interwoven blend of up-front anxious sequences and mysterious luminous undercurrents, making for an experience whose energizing effect lasts well after the record has stopped spinning.
Antonio De Angelis – Transporting EP [COT014]
The French label Children Of Tomorrow comes with four outer space techno tracks. Two originals by Antonio De Angelis and remixes by Exium and Luigi Tozzi.
Skudge – Hunted / Timing [SKUDGE008]
Tadeo – Ohm Podcast 64
Korridor – Taotast [NE022]

Giorgio Gigli & Ness – Erosion EP [PRRUKBLK005]
The fifth installment of the Planet Rhythm Black series includes 3 buldging techno bits Giorgio Gigli and Ness. Leaning towards the more sinister side of techno this record contains everything from off beat rhythms to sinister early morning themes.
Polar Inertia – Kinematic Optics EP [DM3D011]
French men-of-mystery Polar Inertia describe themselves as a “blurry techno entity”. They’re at their shape-shifting best on Kinematic Optics, a double vinyl excursion that contains their first original material since 2012. They set their stall out with the foreboding, cinematic ambience of the title track (built, incidentally, around an extensive spoken word vocal), before delivering an epic chunk of rolling industrial techno (“Floating Away Fire”). There’s a mournful, melancholic feel to the deep techno throbber “Vertical Ice”, while “Hell Frozen Over” is fittingly dark and murky. The second 12″ contains a recording of previous live performance “Can We See Well Enough To Move On?” in its entirety, with droning textures and glacial electronics guaranteeing a spine-chilling mood.
Redspecs – Absent EP [DRH049]
Deeply Rooted’s new version continues with a 4 tracks EP by Redspecs aka Roman Poncet. Fierce techno tracks from the vital Parisian techno scene. The EP starts with the dark and haunting vibe of 1309S, followed up by Absent: a great Techno groover that builds and builds. On the B side Atanol develops a relentless groove while Interstellaire is more hypnotic.
Aroy Dee – Basement Tapes #3
Mark Forshaw – Peer Pressure EP [SCN008]
Liverpool label Scenery Records continues to shine a light on local talent by next turning to Mark Forshaw for a new four track EP. Remixing is the singular Autodidakt Records boss Daniel Andréasson and once again the release showcases a gloopy, analogue heavy house and techno sounds with influences of acid and beyond.

Life’s Track – Smell Of Sanctity [BOPW002]
Five tracks-worth of low-down heavy funky sound by Life’s Track on this new 12” EP. Smell of Sanctity bounces along powerfully with thick, irresistible beats that sound like they are kept on a short leash.
