001.Features
VA – Fractal Rip [ANT08]
Two deep and deadly jack sojourns from Echospace’s Steve Hitchell and Chicago stalwart Josh Werner! They’ve found a terrifically mean streak of form with this 12″, dropping the heat-seeking jack of ‘Fractal Rip’ on the A-side, built with chewed-up 303 bass gurgles and ruff-cut machine rhythms to help even the most uncoordinated warehouse dweller find their perk.On the flip they offer a harrowing ‘Preludes & Nocturnes’ version of ‘Introspective’ from Traxx’s ‘Faith’ disc, refracting it through Hitchell’s matrix of filters, delays, and assorted vintage FX until it emerges zombified and harrowed.
Miles Sagnia – Astrobiological Funk EP [ORN008]
New Ornate Music from Miles Sagnia. The A side is reserved for the lush, monolithic acid work out that is ‘Interplanetary Visitors’. On the flip ‘Bounce Theory’ sets its stall out with a future thinking, hip shaking house groove. And ‘Twilight’ gives a nod to old school Chicago, but has its mind out amongst the stars.
Andy Ash – Dance [FOTO002]
For Foto/s second vinyl release Liverpool-based producer and swept fringe sporter Andy Ash supplies 2 tracks of dancefloor pressure. The A-side ‘Dance’ combines deep detroit synths with driving house rhythms to devastating effect, whilst on the flip Andy gets his sample chopping gear out to cut up an 80s soul number into a grooving pitch-down banger for ‘Mason In My Basin’.
Jay Haze – Bittersuite Sessions [FINALE03]
Jay Haze release a new EP on the French label Finale Sessions. The EP includes 4 deep tracks with a groovy New York house feeling.
Jeff Mills – Something In The Sky Pt. 5 [SITS005]
Fifth 12 inch in Mills’ ongoing series inspired by UFOs, strange night lights, and other unexplained airborne phenomena. Four un-named tracks this time, super limited pressing with instant sell-out a certainty, so tape an X to the window if you want the Smoking Man to deliver.
Obtane – Mercury’s Influence [SG1043]
Stripped down motorik techno from Italy’s Francesco Baudazzi aka Obtane. Obtane is a part of a new breed of Italian techno producers who in counterpart to the raw, minimal (and I don’t mean M-nus minimal) techno being championed by Berghain, have created something even more sparse, crude, and menacing.
Go Hiyama – Postmodern [TPT040]
Perc Traxx with another solid techno stomper with a muddy drive and raw sounds. Droning deep atmospheric, peak time basement techno. Comes with a remix from Lucy.
Reality Or Nothing – Mixes Ep 2 [RSB09]
Darker stripped techno tracks that are actual lost tracks from ’98, now being released with remixes of Sandwell District, Silent servant and CH-Signal.
Psycatron – She is Music [PLE65322-1]
Psycatron, dropping their 2nd 12″ for Planet E’s Guilty Pleasures sub-label. Along for the ride, Blake Baxter contributes moody vox to the steadily building vibes and bolshy beats making a bit of a massive tune for anyone with a big club to keep happy.

Alek Stark – Lights In The Horizon [TRAJECTORY1005]
Alek Stark teams-up with some of electro’s freshest talent for this potential electro hit. The original version here is a full-on workout to get down to, with agitated vocal and hard beats; while next in line is the totally sublime ‘I Can See the Lights’ featuring Victoria Lukas of Zerkalo (Heinrich Mueller & Victoria Lukas). Not to be over-shadowed however are two stealthily executed reworks from Proto 70 and Jauzas the Shining – most definitely forward thinking electro for the body and mind.
Redshape – Future Shock EP [84DSR]
Delta Funktionen – Setup Two: Fusion [ANN013]
Darker and more sinister as all his releases before. Beats getting tighter and rougher, there’s no chance to escape. Welcome to the world of Delta Funktionen. This 2nd part of his Setup EPs brings three times dark heavy soaking techno tracks, and with the otherworldly track ‘Conflict Data’ closing the Setup.
Native Rush – Permanent Departure EP [4LUX005B]
The German duo, Native Rush, get picked by Dutch types 4Lux to release their ‘Permanent Departure’ EP. Introducing six tracks of quality deepness, with opening gambit “Stargazer” a promising start, characterized by an ever swirling central melody of soulful keys, it’s deep house at it’s most sultry. The tone is set here and carried on through the release, with “Covered Blanket” delighting thanks to swinging syncopation, light key stabs and heavy melodic phasing. Elements of techno slickness seep through the gaps of the warm piano refrain that dominates the title track and is more evident in “What We Do”, with crisp hits offsetting the heavily phased spectral vocals and dramatic strings. A glacial rush hits on “First Glance”, the highlight of this release with heavy Detroit synth washes and spoken word samples complementing the subtle pads and barely audible hi-hats.
Tevo Howard – Dusa [BGR010]
Let be known that this is the 10th and last release on Beautiful Granville Records, as the label will be closing it’s doors. At conclusion, we are proudly presenting 4 versions of “DUSA”, which represents the beautiful soul of the music that we Chicagoans have loved and cherished all these years. Please join in our celebration of house in this gentle banger with Tevo Howard, who has great hope that the track will move you timelessly !
Thank you Tevo Howard and thank you Beautiful Granville. Hopefully this will not be the last.
Skudge – Below / Phantom [SKUDGE004]
New output from the Skudge factory. ‘Below’ is a brand new side of refined diva haunted techno, while ‘Phantom’ bites like it was designed specifically to turn Berghain inside out.
Kink – Aphex Kink EP [SHV003]
Strahil Velchev a.k.a. KiNK presents “Tracks From The Vault Vol. 1”. Five compositions, produced between 2003 and 2009, all showcasing the more experimental side of the Bulgarian music geek.Examine – Essential Reconstruction EP [SNEJL017]
Examine delivers Snejl’s 17th number, as an authentic masterpiece for any music lover. ‘Random Facts’ represents a perfect example of sound research, massive groove and detroitish chords. ‘Essential Reconstruction’ gets that floating atmosphere a solid dub track can deliver. Subtle textures surrounded by an aura of warmth are somehow reconstructing the whole track from the beginning to the end. ‘Artificial Consciousness’ is a beautifully fresh, deep techy tune . Its warm sounds deliver the perfect touch of soul which is floating towards your ears and all your deepest senses.
