Darren Cunningham’s eagerly‐awaited new album is an adventurous, ultramodern, thoroughly British affair, rummaging about in the inner lives of house and techno, and brilliantly elaborating the accomplishments of his debut, Hazyville.

James T. Cotton – On Time [SPC093]
After a two-year wait since Tadd Mullinix’s last release as James T. Cotton, the man storms back with “On Time”, on Spectral Sound. Four tracks packed with more music than any EP has a right to. The EP includes also a Rick Wade remix.
Mount Kimbie – Mount Kimbie Remixes Pt. 2 [HFRMX007]
The second EP of Mount Kimbie Remixes features Panorama Bar’s Tama Sumo & Prosumer reworking “William” into a shuffling deep house groove, and Scuba under his SCB guise delivering a murky, cerebral techno remix of “Vertical”.
Tangula – Descending I – IV [2-DIAM]
The second release on Diametric continues to form the sound of the label with music by Tangula, a project by a well known artist around the deep techno scene. As both the artist and the label agree that techno should be faceless, the focus for this EP is not on names and faces. Enjoy a release full of deepness, melodies that are melancholy but also driving beats, funk and futurism.
Franco Cangelli – Paper Cut [MOW006]
Mowar’s 6th release is delivered by label boss Franco Cangelli, 2 solid deep techno cuts accompanied by an exquisite MLZ treatment.
VA – Universal Conciousness 2.0 [TD06]
Split release between Stephen Brown and Club Lonely (A Theofilis & Nikos Raptis) with some timeless techno tracks.
Sandwell District – Sampler Single One and Two [SDSMP1/SDSMP2]
The seven tracks spread across these 12″s apparently have nothing to do with the eagerly awaited Sandwell District album, which is due out later in summer, around the time the international collective is scheduled to headline the Sonar festival in Barcelona.
Sampler Single One tracklist:
A. Intro
AA. Function
B. Silent Servant (Regis Edit)
Sampler Single Two tracklist:
A. Silent Servant
AA. Female (live extract)
B. Silent Servant
BB. Female (Regis Edit)
Hipodrome Podcast 001 – Toygun
Here is the starting point for the podcast series. The first mix is from Toygun, a young dj from Hermannstadt , Romania. He delivers a 2 hours mix with more than 40 chicago, electro, disco and italo tracks.
I hope you enjoy it, I certainly did.
VA – Secret Weapons Part 4 [IV027]
In fast times of today it’s hard to keep up with the pace of everything, not just with the flood of releases. Paul Virilio once wrote that Indians refused to take a train. They said they would lose their soul, because the soul can’t keep up with the speed of the train. Secret Weapons Vol. 4 should be your opportunity to let the train pass by and rather listen to its contributions by Larry Heard, Boddhi Satva, Tuff City Kids and Dixon.
Basic Soul Unit – Midnight Ridim [VIEW009]
Room With A View family welcomes Toronto’s Stuart Li with this monster 3 tracker. Stuart’s hybrid, futuristic & rooted work found his way through the RWAV cosmos and these 3 tracks have been shaped & selected carefully to represent closely this highly personal sound travel between past, present & future.
D’julz – Second Hand Feet EP [OVM206]
For release number 207, Ovum welcome D’Julz back to Ovum Recordings. A stunning three track EP that once again highlights D’Julz’s genial knowledge of the dancefloor. ‘Second Hand Feet’ sees him exploring the power of the “groove”. Whilst on the flip we are treated to two choice cuts in ‘Baka Gaijin’ and ‘Brace Brace’ which, taking influence from his times in 90′s NYC, are set to tear up today’s floors in London, Berlin and far beyond.
Matt O’Brien – Remixes From The Periphery [OK005]
For the latest Offkey release, we turned to some of our favourite producers to remix our previous release, ‘From The Periphery’. Remixers for this ep are: Schatrax, Todd Sines, KiNK and The Subliminal Kid.
Faze Action – Tattoo Man [FAR010]
Faze Action decided to take the whole band in to the recording studios with Nathan Curran aka Tugg on Drums , Rob Lee on Bass, Pete z on Keys (who has also played for the likes of Rub N Tugg and DJ Harvey ), Simon Lee congas and percussion, Mary Moore on vocals and Rob Lee on guitar. Here is the result. Watch out for Rudy’s Midnight Machine Mix.
Neurotic Drum Band – Robotic Hypnotic Adventure Remixes [WET1011 ]
New York’s Neurotic Drum Band open up their recent (and perfectly titled) “Robotic Hypnotic Adventure” to a trio of classy remixes. Fellow New Yorker Abu Duque channels his techno roots into this more disco-shaped mix by keeping the bass deep and powerful and adding plenty of huge dynamic builds, all built around the original’s warped piano parts. The Runaway mix keeps things more blissful and Balearic, while Harkin and Raney add some deep and dark strings to their mix – a pleasing counterpoint to the original’s old-school piano-house vibe.
Dj Koze – Rue Burnout [PAMPA003]
Koze on his debut ‘Rue Burnout EP’ from his own Pampa label, he plays with finesse and sophistication, and implicitly understands the importance of subtlety, leading from dreamy and restrained parts to a noisy frenzy at the end.
Polysick – Meteo [SLR041]
Efdemin – Chicago [DIALCD021]
After the huge success of his selftitled debut in 2007 CHICAGO is the second album of the Berlin-based Producer and DJ who releases his music under his moniker EFDEMIN with DIAL Records. CHICAGO is definitely the top match of Dial’s 10 Years Anniversary releases. Efdemins new works can be regarded as the turning point of a trend based house and techno scene into a new contemporary anti trend movement.
Donnacha Costello – Before We Say Goodbye Remixes [PFR112]
Remixes by Lawrence and KiNK & Neville Watson from two tracks taken from the ‘Before We Say Goodbye’ album.
Ajello feat. Fred Ventura – My Rhythm EP [DWDK001]
New label Danny Was A Drag King and the first release from Ajello featuring Fred Ventura vocals. Nostalgic Italo disco with remixes by Ali Renault, Crimea X and King Of Basia.
