Mr. Intl – The Groove [THEGROOVE01]
Hercules and Love Affair /Andy Butler and Jason Kendig reanimate the vocal of Madonna’s ‘Into the groove’, but as it would have sounded if the scene had taken place in Berlin’s Berghain today.

Xhin – Monad III [SAM003]
The Monad saga continues at Berlin’s Stroboscopic Artefacts (SA) and it’s Xhin’s turn to step up for vol.3. Dissect is certainly the right phrase to use here, because Xhin approaches his music with the understanding and the precision of a neurosurgeon. Opening track Mind, is a pounding piece of techno minimalism, there is just enough fodder in this track to stimulate your senses, whet your perception; the scene is sparse, dark and cold and you will get lost in here, so keep calm, and start to let your mind wander around.
