Mark Hand – Remind Me [SIG.MMXI.VIII]
Take a twilight drive down the A19 with the billowing steam of Redcar steel works in the distance and the exotic promise of the lights of Teeside’s chemical industry on the horizon. Wash away that ennui with these three deep and soulful techno & house cuts from UK producer Mark Hand. A wonderfully produced; debut vinyl 12”, direct from the moody streets of Hartlepool, filled with all the analogue warmth and low frequencies required for late night dancefloors and early morning reflections.
DJ Qu – Eden / Do This Here [YYGREC002]

Leisure Connection – Jungle Dancing / Wave Riding [RHD008LEISURE]
More Peaking Lights related 12″ goodies arriving not on a label…. Producer Aaron Coyes is joined by friend and former bandmate Nate Archer. Both tracks clock in over 10 minutes each, making this a real double sided mind expander.

VA – 001 [STUDIOR001]
Studio R is a new label from the minds behind the identically named Internet TV station based in Berlin. The mission for the imprint runs parallel to the goal of the station: to document modern club culture. Thus, we will release a series of vinyl split EPs featuring famous names showcased alongside new talents. The first EP presents New York-raised but now Berlin-based Fred P, who shares the A-side with another recent New York-to-Berlin transplant, Eric Cloutier, here making his awaited production debut on vinyl. For the B-side, Moscow is in the spotlight with offerings from well-regarded Russian talents Anton Kubikov and Korablove. It’s a perfect type of deep for summer 2013.
Moonraker – Lowjit Vagrants [TTT009]
Trilogy Tapes release a new EP of battered techno and skittery sound design by Philadelphia’s Moonraker. ‘Oronimbus’ weaves eerie space-age blips into pattering beats, ‘Plot Query’ judders excitingly like it might veer of course at any moment. ‘Tilt March’ dispenses with the dreamy synths of the other tracks and goes for full on thick and beastly, scraping noise. Yet another incredible release from the always intriguing London label.
Spaventi Dazzurro – Lonely [COSMOS000]
Summer surprises don’t come better than this.. 2 versions of a new track from this Amsterdam based studio don… refreshing house cocktails with a twists of acid.

The pack includes 10 Tracks in total. 2 Remastered versions, 4 exclusive mixes/edits and 4 new and unreleased tracks from Steve.
Skudge – Irie / Faux [SKUDGE007]
Skudge surface once again with a double tracker containing some of their deepest joints yet. With Irie finally available on wax after the Nonplus 5th year celebration, the band plays with contrast, crafting a warm and yet sinister mental floor killer, while Faux ventures into more abstract melodies with one of their hardest drive ever.
R-Zone – R-Zone 04 [RZONE004]
For the fourth R-Zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. First track Exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. Nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track March Of The Worms is even more militant. This one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. Finally, Claustrophobic Habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.
Anthony Parasole – Off The Grid [MDR011]
The Transhumans – Postbiological Existence [TH006]
Leave your body and transcend to another experience. Go beyond the organic and explore the 3º Nature with this classy old school Techno release by The Transhumans.
