Gendroid – Back To The Past EP [SAUR007]
Ukrainian producer Gendroid has managed to travel to the past. He projected his body (and his soul as well) in the early 80s, for capture what happened in the Hip Hop/Electro scene, when Roland TR-808 and Oberheim DMX were the “hearts” of syncopated rhythms of breakdance. Gendroid is walking on the streets of LA, with a big radio on the shoulder, and he is starting acrobatic dance on the tracks of his EP. Vocoder, scratches, break rhythms and a lot of basses are the main ingredients. When the show is at the end, the time machine is turn on again to push the time traveler until the age of dinosaurs.

Inhalt / Jam Factory – World Unknown 4 [WU004]
Number 4 from World Unknown. Side W is a big vocal banger from San Francisco synth duo Inhalt. O side U, Jam Factory creates a throbbing club style track, slower, steadier and more strung out than their usual deep house grooves.

VA – Limited Edition Disco [IDR005]
Four obscure Italo, Funk and Electronic tracks directly from the Marcello Giordani’s 7” collection. “Zombi” and “In the land of Zombi” are two killer Dub Disco tracks released in the south of Italy in 1979 and produces by The Zombies. Enigma are from Germany, but released on the super disco Italian label “Out” the track sounds like a Space soundtrack with arpeggios and chorus from the grave. “Why O” is a 100% Italian afro disco track produced by Paolo Ormi.
Nite Vision – Now is the Time [BOE014]
Nite Vision is a project from Nigel Rogers aka Perseus Traxx and Mantra that moves around early US midwestern’s house music sounds with a dim twist – which results in analog drum machine patterns melting over moody floaty pads and obscure synth leads. Rogers returs to Ben Boe’s label with a solid 9-track LP named ‘The Time Is Now’.
Tevo Howard – The Drapes In The Living Room [THUG006]
“This ep written some year and one half ago at Beautiful Granville studio features 3 dance selections, which includes the title track, The Drapes in the Livingroom. Also presented in dance form is the very long awaited Shaquanda, which is often played in my live sets. Here, we have the original and first recording of the track. Last, I am presenting Bedroom Music, which is a track designed to be played in those private moments, as well as within nightclub confines. I simply hope that you’ll find the bump in this one.” Tevo Howard
Xosar – Tropical Cruize EP [LIES008]
Debut record by the cloaked, shadow-lurking underground figure Xosar, pushes forth into the realm of cosmic mysticism with a new style of occult-tinged public access house music. Through the three tracks the artist touches upon elements of U.R. styled hi-tech trance, UK bleep, and lo-fi chi-town realness creating cohesive and effective dancefloor cuts.
Zoovox – Transistor Madness [LSR1002]
Lectric Sands presents “Transistor Madness”, the second release by Zoovox aka Ben Gebhardt (Dazzle Ships) and “Tropical” Jeremy Campbell (Tropical Computer System/Dazzle Ships/Bumrocks). They present some classic sounds of 80’s house and disco. Snappy claps, phased
hi-hats, moody synth pads, and sproings float over a swingin’ analogue bassline. The B-side, a version by Steve Summers brings it to new levels of dubbed-out psychedelia. Enhanced sproing, acid seepage, tropical synths, and Moar Cowbell.

Simoncino – The Warrior Dance EP Part #3 [LAX125]
Skylax Records welcomes their 25th release, with Simoncino for the “Warrior Dance III”. This EP features on A Side the wonderfull “Warriors dance” (chicago’s jackin heaven’s not so far we guess), “Tropical vibe” that’s got this kind of disco feeling without sounding (thx god) nu-disco & to end “Hey detroit” that speaks for itself . On the B side, we have 2 remixes, one from Ron Trent & another atmospheric & deep as hell one from Chez Damier’s morning after mix part II.
Luke Hess – Dubout #3 [LHFXHE003]
Roger 23 – Elemental 7 [PCM002]
The new record to be released on Poisson Chat Musique shows a most personal, melancholic and sensitive side of Roger 23 in ‘Element 7’. The calm but mighty ‘No Solution’ on the flipside also confirms him as one of the most interesting dub-techno producers around. Just let the deep sub-bass, the serenity of the atmosphere, and the strength of the ensemble grow in your mind and body, listen after listens… Finally, ‘Ambient V’ is a kind of synthesis of the two previous tracks, mixing the smoke-filled abstractions of Elemental 7, with the dub-techno spirit reflected by No solution.
