Morah – You’ll Never Understand [LXRC028]

Morah comes from Athens and his record on Lux Rec mirrors this magnificent, spendid, decadent, rotten and grimy metropolis. A long journey into the greek maze. Unsettling at times, not without fear or dismay. And those noises coming from a great distance away, are of fools, demented, lunatics. The release begins with “Around You, Around Me”, a sparse-but-energy packed fusion of wild acid lines, rising and falling, high register melodies, and sweaty, full-throttle drum machine hits. “Don’t Tear My Soul Apart” drops the tempo, but persists with the bold electronic riffs (it’s kind of like the original 1988 version of The KLF’s “What Time Is Love” after a session smoking crack), while standout “It’s Been A Long Time” whips off its shirt for a muscular dance around the altar of mid-80s EBM.

Nick Klein – The Lonesome Dealer [ALT027]

Conceptual beat-maker Nick Klein returns with ‘The Lonesome Dealer’ 12” for Alter. Four disparate, industrial-tinged tracks that demonstrate a rough-hewn synthesis of noise and techno, ‘The Lonesome Dealer’ is born from a geographically transient point in Klein’s life spent between Miami and NYC. Despite this, Klein has turned personal disruption around to make his most focussed statement yet as an artist.

Alessandro Adriani – Crow / White Swan [MNQ083]

The new Mannequin Records serie “Death Of The Machines” is launched with their own Alessandro Adriani first up. It features a banging Mick Wills edit of the unreleased ‘Crow’ backed by ‘White Swan’, hypnotsing, and truly psychedelic electro tune.

Birth Of Frequency / Mike Storm – Suburban Avenue 005 [SAV005]

Another split is on the way of the Suburban Avenue team. This is the turn of two young and talented producers coming from the new school, both nostalgic of the Techno of the origins: Birth of Frequency and Mike Storm. A side is entrusted to the refined hands of the French producer, A1 No Wonder” is a brilliant and direct techno track inspired by British school of the nineties. A2 The fugitive” is deeper and hypnotic. The precious B Side is made by the Dutch producer Mike Storm, both tracks B1 The one we know” and B2 Into Formation” are minimalistic and represent some old school spaced out Techno trips. Retro-Futuristic affairs continue.

Bruno Sacco – Laq 03 [ATTICL003]

Attic Laqs series continues with the owner of Gravite Records Bruno Sacco. His work starts with some grainy-noisey grooves in a danceable rhythm and pressurized synths. In the b-side Sacco turns into a nine minutes deep techno track ‘Imaginaria’. A dark corridor where different shades of pads get a conversation with an acidic chord in a lighted nocturnal way.

A Band Called Flash – S/T [FVW003]

Created by the inspired young Jared Hines and produced by master minds Ron Trent and Jonecy, this self titled follow up to ”Mother Confessor” features four etherial, lush tracks that have a live feel and are equally heavenly. Inspired by the Jazz Funk elements of UK outfit Atmosfear and the alternative Disco sounds of Dinosaur L, presented here, A Band Called Flash embrace the energy of “live” dance music. Reminiscent of the early 80’s Boogie sound, A Band Called Flash will surely capture the attention of the more eclectic, global dance floor.

Gazatech – I’m Okay [PRIVATEPERSONS001]

Private Persons share their first release packed with chilled, house-y beats by the mysterious Gazatech. “I’m Okay” is a twist of melancholic melodies and soothing beats. A dreamy, tranquilizing journey providing a soft soundtrack to a lazy late-night forest wander. Euphoric horns drift over tight snares and undulating low end, taking you on an elevated trip to the spiritual side of the cosmos.
