Exhausted Modern / DimDJ – BNJ004 [BNJ004]
Exhausted Modern from Prague (Endless Illusion founder) and the techno veteran DimDJ from Thessaloniki are going together on this split EP, the fourth release on Lyon’s imprint Blue Night Jungle. With their strong analog approach, they each explore the infinite possibilities of raw sound materials, going from wild acid aesthetics to classical Detroit’s electro aesthetics. Two universes that are largely complementary, strengthening each other, and therefore creating a beautiful representation of what Blue Night Jungle “Dance” sublabel aims to focus on. With this new release, Blue Night Jungle goes fully European by letting these two underground artist express themselves through a common way.

De Sluwe Vos – Trans Magnetic Stimulation [SUSAN008]
The sensory reaction to persuasive brain-wave activity suddenly makes Susan wonder: was that Dexter, or merely a sly fox? The glimpsing shadow disappears. I’m lost at a club but that feeling is good. I find patterns in repetitive rhythms. We are together, finally. De Sluwe Vos takes Susan on a very special binary journey full of Trans Magnetic Stimulations and more.. you feel me?
VA – Acid LP [STILLMDLP015]
This is what legends are made of: Acid House, Chicago 1988, Mickey Oliver and his Hot Mix 5 Records, Larry Heard aka Fingers, Pierre, Phortune & Armando. Released in 1988, ACID LP was the first and only full length on Hot Mix 5 Records. It is much more than a classic album, it’s a staple for any self respecting DJ. This is probably one of the best Acid House compilation to make it out of Chicago. Still Music is proud to start its Hot Mix 5 Records reissue series with such a monument to House. Every track on here is a classic in its own right, with Pierre’s “Dreamgirl”, Armando’s “151”, the two incredible Fingers tunes ”The Juice” and “Ecstasy” and so much more. For the first time, this reissue features all the songs that were on the original release but remastered and on a red vinyl DLP. Don’t sleep on the ACID.
Andreas Gehm / Elec Pt. 1 – Cosmic Interrail Vol. 2 [SBOX006]
“It’s with a pride filled, yet heavy, heart that Schrödinger’s Box bid a welcoming return to the uncrowned King of Acid, Andreas Gehm. After Cosmic Interrail come four tracks of acid scorn, corrosive jack and twisted spite. Under his own name, and the time honoured mantle of Elec Pt 1, Cologne’s 303 contortionist serves three works dripping in bitter bars and skewered by claps and snares. “Captain Future” sits outside of the quartet, a carnival outake of whirling lights and crashing cymbals. Pure quality from the Acid King.”
Posthuman – Airwave Uranium [XK017]
Posthuman are London based cousins Josh Doherty and Rich Bevan. The pair have been pivotal in the recent resurgence of UK acid house via a steady stream of their own output, notorious I Love Acid club nights and their own imprint; Balkan Vinyl. It’s X-Kalay next and the duo have served up a pair of typically stripped back acid work outs. On the flip X-Kalay artist and up and coming acid wunderkid Lou Karsh reworks Airwave Uranium into a real 303 masterclass.
Tom Dicicco – Laser Life [COS_MOS_006]
Next up on COS_MOS is a label debut from Tom Dicicco. The four cuts he offers here kick off with the hammering synth stabs and coarse claps of ‘Varykino’, a brutal twisted dance floor mover. ‘Laser Life’ then cuts loose, with squeaking machines and alien life-forms jumping about in a broken beat framework that brings off balance grooves to the party. Acidic bouncing bass lines jumping over the b-side on ’99 Rising’, where ‘Quiet Theory’ flips the script again, this time with percolating and trippy synth loops rising and falling with skeletal beats stuttering below. A well balanced party pack for every hour of the night.
Kovyazin D – Minimal Funk EP [DMX08]
Domina Trxxx welcomes Kovyazin D to the Family. The young and talented man from Russia already released on well known imprints like Chiwax and M>O>S Recordings. The Minimal Funk EP is a puperb electro record.
Dircsen – Soundtravels [ST008]
Dircsen is back on Soundtravels with four heavyweight dancefloor bombs, well worked out, 303 basslines, accompanied by moody synths. Dircsens tracks are always built to perfection, distinguished and raw at the same time. Timeless tracks which will last a lifetime.
Dona – Inverno EP [CR1297]
Dona is back with another EP of emo-jakkin Mediterranean style dark-side. He walks the fine line between hope and hate on this one, mood-swinging his way through various shades of azure and off white.

Love of Eden – Love of Eden EP [PFS014]
Finnish duo Love of Eden is getting serious straight from the beginning of their self titled EP. ‘Don’t Tell Me’ is a jackin’ acid banger made for moving crowds with some Casio RZ-1 action and vocals that pretty much sum it all up: ”Don’t tell me what is acid, don’t tell me what is not!” Instant classic! ‘Clockwork Apple’ takes things to a more mellow and late 80s/early 90s Chicago mood, just like Larry Heard & Co. have taught us. The B-side starts with another Casio RZ-1 acid banger, when Love of Eden perform ‘Transfennica’. The EP comes to a beautiful end with ‘Rocla’, which once again paints a really powerful homage to the early pioneers of acid house.
Jared Wilson – Great Lake Leaf Change [DEDA006]
ES-Q – Enter The System EP [DOLLY032]
ES-Q already successfully emerged on the scene with the massive club banger ‘friend zone’ on PXU. With his new EP called enter the system he strikes hard, again 4 straight up dance floor fillers for all the ravers dedicated to bleep.

DimDJ – Recurring Patterns [JUNE15]
DimDJ returns on June Records with the long player Recurring Patterns after his first appearance on the label in 2015. This time he expands his classic acid house sound with slower, mystifying tracks that were recorded between 2015 and 2018 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Dawl / Moxx – Sector Intermediate [BS03]
Tone Dropout’s finest Dawl delivers on the A-side, two gems with electro influences, like only he can do. On the B-side is Moxx from the Viennese House and Techno label called Yoshi, with his first solo works after the infamous ‘Waves’ EP in 2014.
Boneless One – Dodgy Smiley EP [STX019]
For the 19th output, Snuff Trax welcomes Boneless One from Finland. On the ‘Dodgy Smiley EP’ he does some magic again with his dirty machines and delivers five rough banging cuts.
Shedbug – The Krabben EP [10PILLS009]
Shedbug rips into 2019 with a shell-hardened, cave-crushing, dystopian 5-track crabmageddon EP. Crammed to the brim with scorched acid, crunchy electro and flame-throwered techno tropes. Belting bizz from down under, cooked at the afters and topped up with heaps of poppers & liquor for good measure.
