Pär Grindvik- Wyatt ARP [STHLMLTD024]

“It’s been four years since my last own EP on Stockholm LTD. The main reason for this is that I have been surrounded by music that has inspired me much more than my own. This EP was written and produced with strict narrow frames and a huge amount of frustration. I was tired of waiting for the inspiration to kick in, then suddenly it appeared with a strength that I havent felt for long time. Im now curious for more. While sketching the title track, “Wyatt Arp”, I couldnt get Detroit legend, Terrence Dixon, out of my mind. Terrence is a long time hero of mine, and an artist that always stays on the true side of what we do while most of us occasionally leave our paths. I had to ask him to do a rework.” / Par Grindvik

Go Hiyama – Arc One [TOKEN023]

Go Hiyama returns to Token.‘Arc One’ contains 3 tracks, each with a different timbre. ‘Farnsworth House’ focuses on hazy atmospherics over a stomping drum pattern, while ‘Dymaxion Map’ is a more of an instant heavy hitter with punishing percussion. ‘Fallingwater’ builds slowly over a tough yet sophisticated off beat rhythm. Tension grows while the haunting noisy synths lead to a thrilling breakdown, after which it kicks back in ferociously.

Tobias. – Freeze [TON057]

Hypnotic Berlin techno by Tobias. on Ostgut Ton. Freeze is a darkly shining jewel that scoops its hypnotic energy from a rolling synth- sequence. Charged by repetition, Perfect Sense has a similar tractive force, but turns the inward looking, dark mood of the A-side into a subtly euphoric, outgoing direction.

Tom Demac – Obstructing the Light EP [GT004]

Tom Demac makes the step up to the Glass Table imprint with a far ranging three track EP. ‘Obstructing The Light’ is a lazy and moody soup of swirling deep house. Dreamy voices drift like clouds above a chugging kick clap combo as light finger melodies keep things from growing all too dour. ‘Four Leaves Right’ is a quicker joint, but the moods are still studiously sombre and melancholic. There’s an irresistibly swinging arc to each kick that really sweeps you up, along with a deep, buried, bobbling Bristol bass-like b-line to keep things firmly rooted on the dancefloor despite the dream-pop vocals and layers of intricate percussion.

Vakula – SHEVC006 [SHEVC006]

After a small Shevchenko break, the Slavic Spiritual Warrior is back! Expect the usual mind-melting psychedelic dub warfare from all angles. ‘No Music’ is proper warehouse gear – intense, dark and cut at 45rpm for maximum damage. Flip over for two more abstract, analogue voyages into the Ukranium.

Felizol – Our Team Never Won [NTROP021]

Felizol comes with his 3rd EP for Ntrop recordings. “Our Team Never Won” of 3 tracks, attempts to bridge experimental hardware music with programmed club-oriented grooves. Randomness and roughness straggle with elegance and balance. Our team Never Won is a deep techno song with foggy vocals, aggressive kicks, distorted bass and side-chained melodies. “11 Years” minimize latin harmonies and guitar timbres while the dry house beat and the warm poly-analogs follow the repetitious vocals. “The Promise” is an experimental dub with jazz fragments and minor piano chords constructed around the field recording of a Finish lunatic old man talking to himself.

Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui – Pacific House EP [LIES013]

New Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui aka Legowelt & Xosar. Raw analogue house music. When computer programmer and music enthusiast Lowrell “Trackman” LaFonte was relocated to a small suburb North of Santa Barbra California a chance encounter brought him to meet Bonquiqui Pardue. As he scoured his local break to find someone with a resin patch kit to fix a fresh ding in his favorite tri-fin fishtail, Bonquiqui, dental hygienist, and also an avid surfer just so happened to have a kit handy and a union was born. From this moment on Lafonte & Bonquiqui were inseparable, often hitting the clubs and immersing themselves in Latin Freestyle and obscure local house productions from the smog filled Valley. As it would have it, eventually the two moved in together and began working on their own music, using strictly Casio drum machines and keyboards. Inadvertently, Lafonte & Bonquiqui pioneered a sound now known by the masses as “Surfer House.” These three tracks stand as a testament to a time in California music history that can never be recreated, no matter how hard the posuers at the local break try.
