VA – Rock Rendez Vous: Musica Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986 [DE307]
The seductive sounds of Portugal swing to Dark Entries on Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986, a compilation of vintage Iberian synth, wave, and postpunk gems. The legendary club Rock Rendez Vous (RRV) opened its doors in Lisbon in 1980, heralding a new era in the Portuguese underground. Although touring acts like Killing Joke, Danse Society, or Echo & the Bunnymen graced its stage, RRV more vitally served as ground zero for a new generation of Portuguese bands, one simultaneously in touch with broader international musical movements while being invested in establishing a national sonic identity. Rock Rendez Vous culls 9 tracks of prime Portuguese indie tunes from the Música Moderna Portuguesa compilations released in 1985 and 1986, documenting the heyday of this movement. Jangly and brooding postpunk gems like “Levante” from Jovem Guarda, Projecto Azul’s “New Sides,” and Essa Entente’s “Festa Final” are well-represented here. Meanwhile, quirky Balearic-laced synthpop gems like D. W. Art’s “Mate” or Zona Proibida’s “Musak” add a subtly regional flare. Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa comes housed in a sleeve designed by Eloise Leigh featuring a photo of the club RRV, and also includes a double-sided insert with lyrics, photos, and liner notes.
MACON – Early Jams [NB06T]
Voluntary simplicity. A long-standing philosophical tradition that advocates a form of limitation of needs to achieve happiness. Does this apply to music? I think this music is distinguished by its simplicity and freedom. Here, the sound of machines is presented in its simplest form. For “MACON”, as the name not implies, deconstruction means trying to approach music in an ever-renewed way. This cassette brings together MACON’s first attempts at rhythmic electronic music.
Panico En Directo – Television [VKT001]
Voykot initiates its inaugural release featuring the enigmatic producer Panico En Directo in a concise mini LP format. Comprising 6 tracks, this collection showcases robust percussion and daring melodies, spanning a broad spectrum of EBM and Techno influences.

Precious Bloom – Flashlight [RHSTOREJAMS027]
Two-tracker from Indonesian group Precious Bloom. ‘Flashlight’ on the A side is inspired by Euro disco with a touch of Indonesian city pop. The track ‘Mojo’ on the B-side explores a rhyme of witchery…
Mr. G – Stronger Together [NDATL039]
Mr. G makes a return to NDATL Muzik. “Stronger Together” EP sounds like a journey through the depths of house music, with each track offering its own unique flavor and energy. Banger “One For Cath” sets the tone perfectly with its driving drums and nasty bassline, coupled with haunting vocals. “Twist” takes things even deeper with its low swinging chord-driven groove. “We All Feel Something” whips the dancefloor into a frenzy with its strong percussion while “Dub In The System” with its shimmering hi-hats drawing you in deeper and deeper is the perfect way to close out the EP.
Stefan Braatz – Outlaw EP [NG156]
Stefan Braatz returns to Nu Groove with a four-track EP showcasing his timeless sound. Opening the EP is the eponymous track ‘Outlaw’, featuring vocals from Chicago house pioneer Harry Dennis. As Braatz’s relentless synth energy powers through, Dennis’s unmistakeable free flow guides the composition with ease. What follows are three solo tracks that summarise the Berlin expert’s opposition to the genre restraints; ‘Conversation’ opens a dialogue between synth strings and piano that loops in ecstasy, while ‘Dingy Thoughts’ and ‘One More Dream’ are darker club cuts that bubble with intensity in the lower registers.
Dojo Zone – De La Isla EP [ESP101]
De La Isla EP marks a compelling debut for Espíritu Recordings, showcasing Dojo Zone’s versatile production prowess across five tracks. ‘Dream Body (Exotica Mix)’ kicks off with a potent blend of techno and progressive house, a dynamic journey through pulsating beats and twisted mood swings. ‘Houdini Hauz’ follows suit, infusing 80s-inspired sounds into a modern tech house, resulting in a groove-laden sonic landscape reminiscent of new wave aesthetics. The EP takes a detour with ‘Obscure Entrance,’ paying homage to Detroit’s rhythmic heritage with its bubbling acid lines and 808 state-esque sounds. ‘Bandu Bandu’ is another goodie, that ventures deeper into the realms of futurism, with its serious and contemplative tones layered over intricate textures, offering a profound listening experience.
Steve Moore – Eye of Horus [LIES209]
Synth wizard, soundtrack composer, and Zombi member, Steve Moore expands further on his stark and drama filled cosmic sound with a new six track lp. These tracks call to mind to his early-L.I.E.S. releases, where Moore focused on cold arppegations and basic beat constructions to fuel his epic productions which center around pristine soaring synthscapes. A master of the genre, Moore gives us an equal mix of explosive, creepy home at the end of a dark street floor fodder as well as slower tempo cosmic headcrushers, all capable of getting your head or niteclub in a frenzy.
Jamal Moss – It Is My Fault, My Fault Alone [LOVE133]
Modern Love’s 7” series returns with a 45 special from Chicago’s Sun God, delivering a pair of chrome-burn acid jak and cosmic house tear-outs fired to spangle the dance. Screwed, exceptional music for the club.

Torai – Rapture EP [LOP17]
Nullptr – Distant Signals [FAN018]
Four dreamy exoplanetary electro cuts from Nullptr. With a melancholic orbit, the mood of this EP is wistful and lachrymose, as if the sonar-HUD on our spaceship’s cockpit is over-bleeping at rapidfire; we’ve flown too close to the celestial object we sought, and have nothing left to do but bask in the bittersweet antagonism of space-faring victory and revelatory disappointment. ‘Exolon’ portrays some leftover remnant of trekkers’ curiosity, suggesting we’re still driven – motivated – on our quest to grasp said strange attractor. Yet ‘Sytasol’ moves sadder, locking in a grooved stasis through a mixture of fidgeting melodic acid and clappage. ‘Alpha Grid’ and ‘Gekko7’ hear spirits revive for a no less dreamy revolution about the sun.
