Label boss Aroy Dee signs for his already 8th release on his own MOS Recordings label. The track ‘Beauty’ reminds his label’s first release, a basic dreamy melodic house track. On the b-side we find man of the moment Rabih Beaini aka Morphosis dropping a heavy remix. Hot on the heels of his praised ‘What Have We Learned’-album takes his dark dusty ‘Cabinet’-remix all things in perspective.
Bumako Recordings presents the first single from Jenifa Mayanja’s full length album “Woman walking in the shadows”.The original album track is a full on vocal, with a strong universal message of empowerment and solidarity! Remixes coming from Jus-Ed, Kai Alce and Ms. Mayanja herself.
The Copenhagen duo ‘James Braun & Dan M’ have slammed out a dark & driving debut EP on JackOff Records. Joel Alter takes it down a notch with a deep & dry version on the flip and then October breaks all the rules with his signature bass heavy groove.
Brendon Moeller, aka Echologist and Beat Pharmacy, will release his seventh full length album. “Subterranean” is a deeply narcotic listening experience. Subtly evolving atmospheres, hypnotic sub-basslines, reverb-soaked drones and lush vibrating textures abound. All elements possess their own pulse and cadence, but stay in sync to create an otherworldly sub-aquatic experience. The album gently ebbs and flows as exquisite modulations and articulations create a mesmerizing ambience that is at times as propulsive as it is passive.

Mike Dehnert follows up on his previous 2 Clone Basement releases, with a selection of 4 tracks, that shows another side of Mike. Four tracks that reveal the more challenging side with some forward thinking techno tracks. Slightly slower paced as some of his recent works, and with only 1 out of 4 tracks having a straight kick in the complete track, he is placing emphasis on the rolling machine groove and the flow coming from sounds and effects.
Release by Gerd on the Clone Basement Series with an old classic themed techno track he found on a dusty DAT tape while archiving some old recordings. Somehow a traditional techno track with metalic basslines, stellar string sounds and retro futuristic vocals with a classic theme… time & space. The original slower paced version did get an reshape/makeover that gives it a 2011 update that will be a standard record in the box for many! Remixers on duty are Rotterdam’s Duplex duo who are back in business and deliver two remixes.
New release on Fachwerk techno train from Sascha Rydell. On the A-side Sascha delivers a proper Berlin machine-techno track, undercooled, intense, heavy. On the B-side a surprisingly relaxed techno excursion with dubby hints of Detroit techno.
We Play House with their limited series. A new artist from Japan called Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin and musical at the same time.
Arttu aka Lump comes with two tracks of raw minimal music with an edge and unpredictable arrangements.
Hour House is Your Rush is releasing an EP from Chicagoian Ricardo Miranda. ‘Floorwax’ urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out. ‘Redline’ starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land.
Rotterdam’s Benny Rodrigues’ interpretation of acid house takes the form of ”I Like Acid”, and surely it sounds classic! Acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch. ”Choice” hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strength in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a ”freakish” top line that carry the track into peak time. Steve Rachmad as ”Sterac” and Mike Dehnert are providing the remixes for ”I Like Acid”, to close the EP.
