VA – Axiom [TH002]
TransHuman presents their second release “Axiom” in a mini Lp 12”. The TransHumans and Arcanoid present 5 new tracks, that transmit perfectly tension, abstraction and Techno quality, giving the necessary axioms to make a hopeful journey of transgression between classic sounds and new mutations with IDM influences, broken rhythms, cyclic and hypnotic bass, contrast of textures and trapping melancholic melodies. Sowing Paranoia presents their first work for this label, with a track that combines the influences of European Techno-Dub, with epic melodies, developing into a cosmic journey.
Jerome Sydenham – Bad Dog [APT014]
‘Bad Dog’ shows Jerome exploring an experiment in thoroughly inspired Chicago House flavoured Techno. Lake Michigan’s chill runs all through the bass, hats and snares. A-sides don’t come much better than this. Completing the A-Side is, ‘Rabid Dog’. This is some foam – mouthed Techno with a lighter hint of old-school Chicago. One B-side, ‘Good Dog’ is a classy tune complete with Detroit stabs that get the Jerome treatment and a heavy dose of perfectly tinged 909 hats, that slice right through the mix.
Sawf – Unrhythm [TPT044]

Solvent – Latch, Fasten, Secure [MRX019]
”Latch, Fasten, Secure” is a new 3-track 12” by Solvent, for MinimalRome. Solvent debuts here a new approach, delivering 3 tracks of pure Bunker/Rephlex-style acid, monotonous and pounding. ”Fasten” is the most straight-up acid track present, nothing but 707/606 percussion + x0xb0x squelch. ”Latch” and ”Secure” are more dark, abstract, dirty. ”Secure” is epic madness, clocking in at over 16 minutes; at times slow and prodding, elsewhere growling furiously in sheets of distortion.

Two different Panther Versions by Scott Grooves & Kataconda for Frank Martiniq’s “Golden Dusk”.

Midnight Hours – Midnight Hours 3 [MH003]
Andy Stott – Passed Me By [LOVE069]
