A Sagittariun – The Jupiter Chronicles EP [EDREAMS009]

March 24, 2014April 3, 2025 hipodromea sagittariun, elastic dreams, house, technoLeave a comment

Having established a particular style of house music with a series of releases on his own Elastic Dreams label, A Sagittariun. the supposed Bristol elder turned in one of last year’s finer debut long players in the shape of Dream Ritual. His first release since then is The Jupiter Chronicles EP, a four track 12″ of diverse productions that will please A Sagittariun fans no end. Lead track “Wave Upon Wave” is a fairly well titled exercise in unrelenting breakbeats and rolling Roland 303-esque riffs, and the shifts upwards as the EP progresses. There’s an undeniably subtle euphoria to “Re-Ignition” whilst wonderful chaos seems to grip A Sagittariun with the two B Side cuts, where the freneticism of “Ascella” is well complemented by the rugged yet playful “And The Moon Be Still As Bright”.

Vril – Torus [FORUMII]

March 23, 2014March 13, 2023 hipodromealbum, ambient, deep techno, experimental, forum, giegling, industrial, vrilLeave a comment

Vril debut LP on Giegling sublabel Forum. After appearances on other labels like Semantica and Delsin, Vril has now returned home to Giegling to release Torus, a surprise eleven-track LP with track titles that seemingly combine HTML-speak with Roman numerals. Vril’s productions combine elements of booming dub techno with murky reflections of rave with his own patented and progressive synth sound. Torus sees Vril deliver more of this, but he’s also extended the remit on this album to include other elements of dance music, with what sounds like Clone-inspired (west coast) electro, Chicago house and flashes of Adam X-industrialisms.

JBLA – Belleville EP [DSR088]

March 23, 2014March 4, 2026 hipodromedeep techno, desire records, experimental, jbla, noise, ron morelli, svengalisghost, verekerLeave a comment

The JBLA outfit finally land on Desire with a supremely awaited EP that’s shimmering with gritty hardware flair and squelching noise trickery. The title track is a rampant, percussion-driven, post-punk tool and is hotly rewired by none other than LIES affiliates, Ron Morelli and Svengalisghost, who turn in a twisted, metallic version of the original – oscillating atmospherics and a minimalistic kick-hat form an alluring bundle of a groove. “Night With Potential” is a lo-fi kinda tune, with aqueous melodies and hazy landscapes. Our favourite LIES protege, Vereker goes in for the total kill on the remix, creating a nasty, cacophonous and industrial time-bomb for the end of days – this guys has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, apparently. A cop-on-site kinda EP, really…

March 21, 2014October 10, 2019 hipodromefrigio records, honored matres, house, i-land beat, pera yang, techno, vagon breiLeave a comment

Frigio Records is packing a bag and setting off on a global electronic music trip for this new series ‘All Stars Vol.1’ First stop: Great Britain. Isle of Wight denizen I-Land Beat returns to Frigio following his excellent Cybernautics EP. The South of England artist doesn’t take any prisoners, dishing up a churning pot of atomic House. Stabbing synthlines call up memories of Altern-8 as chords rampage alongside samples and chopped beats for an especially spicy starter. Next, Korea. Pera Yang is a young exciting producer with a raucous message. From his digital album, TCNO1 , ‘Automagical’ is chosen for some special vinyl attention. The track is a raging piece of industrially warped Techno. Pulsating beats jostle against one another before Yang sends all through the shredder. Honored Matres is the blackened acid moniker of Croatian artist Le Chocolat Noir aka Jasmin Yas (the man behind Disco Panonia.) 303 venom drips from beginning to end as claps, cymbals and snares dissect looping vocals for a dark and disturbing floor destroyer. For the finale Frigio returns home, Spain’s Vagon Brei, aka Victor Ramos, delivering ‘80861M.’ The Spaniard is best known for his dreaming Ambient soundscapes on labels like Strange Life and Further Records, but here he is in playful humour. Warbling acid chords thrill, bending under skillfully programmed beat patterns for an intoxicating close.

Entitled Beehive Rhythms, the four-track EP is the debut of Zsa Gang, a collaborative project between Jordan Czamanski and Future Times co-head Max D. Taking a similarly live and freewheeling approach to Czamanski’s sometimes psychedelic work as part of Juju & Jordash and Magic Mountain High, the raw hardware sounds nevertheless seem to have some of the stripped back dancefloor focus and thumping rhythms of Max D’s Dolo Percussion project.
