VA – Acid Trips 2 [STX014]
Marshall Brill – Cafe Del Marsh [WEC005]
Perseus Traxx – 716 Exclusive Mix
Mike Simonetti – Release Your Body To The Best [2MR014]
Two deep minimal acid tweakers with guest vocals by Santana from the French group Claap. There’s also a Claap! remix thrown on for good measure, and they take the song in a totally different direction.
Innershades – A World That Matters EP [HOTSHIT023]
Belgian producer Innershades giving it up for DJ Haus’ imprint. On the A-side, two house tracks for the upcoming summer and on the B-side 2 gheto-house gems.
Interstellar Funk – Electric Park Square [RHM014]
“Electric Park Square” is Interstellar Funk’s debut EP on the Rush Hour label. The mystical six tracker takes you on an adventurous multidimensional journey. Part of a new breed of young Dutch producers and DJs, Interstellar Funk crafts magical melodies and textured tracks that look to the future whilst taking cues from the past.
To the North
From Wednesday until Sunday, we will be wondering on the cold streets of the beautiful Scandinavian city of Stockholm. If you are around don’t hesitate to give us a message!
Ron Morelli – Reaktor Mix
Umwelt – Destruction Liberatrice [RTTD004]
Crackboy – VHS Stories Pt.2 [CRWDSPCR010]
For his second chapter on Crowdspacer, Crackboy aka Krikor, the king of French dirty analog techno, digs deeper into that Detroit melanchol-epic vibe with Weapons Of Steel on the A-side before going bonkers on the B-side with 2 naughty stripped-down beat-centric DJ tools for the sweaty late night crowds. Made me think of some Gemini tracks when I first heard it (that’s a compliment).
Kuno / Spaceinvasion – Terminal Operations 002 [TO002]
Terminal Operations 002 sees the Berlin based imprint unleash four tracks of raw fire power. Kuno and Spaceinvasion take a side each and deliver some unruly cuts of acidic techno.
spAceLex – Les Yeux Orange #62
Annie Hall – Tenured Positions [CPU00011100]
Annie Hall taking a break from co-running Detroit Underground to make an appearance on like minded Sheffield label Central Processing Unit. Annie dedicates this E.P. to women in science (Marie Curie, Lise Meitner, Elizabeth Arden and Caroline Herschel) when tenured positions for women working in the field were extremely rare. Although the tracks appear to be straight from the science lab, don’t let that fool you as each track is brimming with laid back computer funk with subtle melodies that keep you hooked. Annie has deviated from her signature fractured beats and delivered an easy listening electro affair that’s equally at home on the dancefloor as it is chilling in high fidelity.
Mesak – Bessemerbirne [KLAKSON024]
Another electro veteran back in the game. Finish producer Mesak (also known as the other half of the legendary group Mr Velcro Fastener) has been known for his high quality, advanced spheric electro. Bessemerbirne is a massive electro-industrial 4-tracker EP with a killer remix by fellow countryman Mono Junk.
Endfest – Nightlife At The Forest Edge [ENDILL007]
Utrecht based Endfest delivered solid serving of the fat beef. Very fair four tracker full of freaked out melodies underlaid by juicy 808 drums, darkwave electro offered by promising Czech imprint Endless Illusion. First track on the A side “Seaside Suicide” sums it up pretty perfectly in one song. “Fading Trees” is rusty vintage electro-funk that ED DMX would appreciate. On the flip “Palladium” and its exotic synths emulate Middle Eastern music eloquently while sounding like legends Japanese Telecom, in a way. Finally “Skiphol” closes things out in style on this spacey and cosmic little journey track.

VA – 10.I [SEM010I]
Semantica Records marks 10 years with a worldwide tour and a 10 release series in 2016. Semantica 10.I features tracks from Donato Dozzy, Mod21, Stanislav Tolkachev and Skirt in a 4 track EP.
Echologist – Good Vibrations EP [ECHOCORDCOLOUR034]
Brendon Moeller dons the notorious Echologist moniker again for some superbly executed dub techno experiments and finds a rather fitting home on Kenneth Christiansen’s Echocord imprint. The slo-mo, sci-fi dub of “Bent” is so vivid and smoked out that you can almost hear the lighter going off in the background; some serious darkside bass therapy on this one. “Repeat Rate” is more straight ahead on this stomping yet hypnotic techno track with some immaculate dub chords. Finally on “Good Vibrations” he works those resonators and dub delays like a true master in a wonderful exercise in restraint that’s perfect to build the vibe or equally transition out of the peak time with style.
Cio D’Or – All In All Remixed [SEM073X]
‘All in all’ getting a special treatment from Milton Bradley, Electric Indigo & Monolake, Mike Parker and Svreca.
