Alan Oldham aka Detroitrocketscience shares a retro-sounding Neo-Detroit split with Kuba Sojka. Oldham’s two tracks trek across trippy, metallic harmonics on ‘Curved Space’ and proper, swinging hi-tek funk calculations on ‘Black Math’. Sojka meanwhile offers the acid-licked and uptempo 313 romance of ‘Low Gravity’ and ‘Black Hole’s plush Techno soul.

Delusions of Grandeur presents ‘The Haunted House Of House’ the debut album by Session Victim. Opening track Dark Sienna sets the mood and serves as a good taster of what you can expect from their highly accomplished debut. We’re talking looped up deep-disco territory here with a lovely mid-tempo rolling groove driven along by open hats and a square wave bassline, lush string sections and dubbed vocal hits all adding heat to the mix.

William delivers some late night house goodies here. The title track is a pulsating and hypnotic track that leads with a repetitive ‘We Are Your Brothers & Sisters’ vocal before diving into an epic organ and drum break. ‘Enforce YS’ is a deeper, warmer synth track that really gets under your skin after a few listens.

Final 12″ in the series with the mighty Redshape killing it one side and Fudge Fingers ending it all on a very positive note.

Innergaze – Mutual Dreaming LP [CITI005]
Minimal Wave sublabel Cititrax, presents new music from Brooklyn based synth duo Innergaze, the musical project of Aurora Halal and Jason Letkiewicz. Their music, crushed and static, obscured by sound. EBM, coldwave, early techno fight it out for dominance of the drum machine. Casually brutal vocals force their way through from the Death Factory. Celestial synths coexisting with the industrial landscape bellow.
Hard Corps – Clean Tables Have To Be Burnt LP [MW035]
Minimal Wave is proud to present our 35th release, a full length LP release entitled “Clean Tables Have To Be Burnt” by UK legends Hard Corps. Hard Corps gained some notoriety for their unique and uncompromising live shows throughout the 1980s. It was the juxtaposition between their hard edged industrial sound and the fragile and enigmatic vocals of French frontwoman Regine Fetet that created an unusual dichotomy, lending to their strength of character as a band and thus allowing them to stand out from the rest. Now for the first time ever, rare unreleased versions of Hard Corps tracks from the 1980s have been remastered and are being made available.
Nachtliche – Fullmoon [CY005]

Levon Vincent – Fabric 63 [FABRIC125]
Given his meteoric rise over the last two years, it’s perhaps no surprise to find New York-based techno star Levon Vincent behind the decks on this latest Fabric mix. His mixing and production style – dubby, fluid and loose, but prone to periods of paranoid darkness and intense moments of sun-bright clarity – is tailor-made for an album like this. As a result, Fabric 63 is a memorable journey that touches on all of these traits, from the spine tingling, dubwise deepness of his own “The End” and apocalyptic “Early Reflections”, to the elastic, melody-driven rubberyness of Joey Anderson, reflective groovery of Jus-Ed and growling menace of Anthony Parasole.
Juju & Jordash – Jewsex [CHANNEL027]
JuJu & Jordash return to Golf Channel with a bang. A pounding Italo / EBM influenced club epic in three distinct flavours. The ‘Clubsex’ mix traps a Pacman and has it bouncing off a wall of feedback until it locates Steve Poindexter and the Relief records back catalogue, and ‘Dubsex’ drenches everything in delay and 69’s detuned synths.
Cobblestone Jazz – Who’s Future? [WRL009]
The third installment in the Cobblestone Jazz 12” series brings two more tracks. On the A side we find ”Who’s Future?”. Full of bubbling elastic bass and deep chord swells, it’s a laidback affair with a snappy groove to push it along.

John Morales is the pioneer of the remix and original producer of Jocelyn Brown, Galaxy, Five Star, Shalamar and all things disco fabulous. The previously unreleased disco dub version of ‘He’s Alright’ ends this heavyweight vinyl EP, which collects the highlights.
