The return of the Third Side trio to Berlin’s foundational Restoration imprint. The Analogue Cops, Lucretio and Marieu, are back on their old moniker with Panorama Bar resident Steffi, with their loose, dusty house-techno hybrids after over a year of hiatus. “Bearing All Gifts” opens the EP with a penetrating techno pulse surrounded by the group’s familiar bundle of circling industrial electronics; the B-side goes more hypnotic thanks to the excellent groove of “Opening The Jar”, and “Elpis” makes for a fine closing tune thanks to its subtle swirls of 303, mid-tempo kicks and intricate bundles of hardware noise.

Thema turns to a modern master of the JakBeat, D’Marc Cantu. Hailing from Ann Arbor on the fringes of Detroit, Cantu has worked for more than a decade developing a sound that carries the torch from the box jam originators of techno and house music. Given his adventurous tendencies and punchy Midwestern finish, Cantu is a perfect fit on Thema and the six tracks that make up this record show a great deal of the diversity the man is capable of, from dancefloor burners to atmospheric introspection.

Number six in the I Love Acid series. Rephlex legend Global Goon features with four wonky takes on acid. A-sides ‘Caramel Door’ & ‘The Botanist’ jitter in and out of slo-mo techno & electronica. On the flip, ‘Black Wheat’ ups the tempo with a bit of disco playfulness, while closer ‘Creamy Noogies’ gets its rave on with samples of Snap’s ‘The Power’ against a rampant 303 bassline.

SAVAGE HYMN - Indecision

NYC’s ever-reliable party institution Rong Music train their sights on the mainroom with this white label promo from Savage Hymn, the new collaboration between Chicago veteran Mystic Bill and NY stalwart Jake Reif. Pumelling out the speakers on an undulate 303 bassline and a stampede of hard hitting percussion, “Indecision” soon establishes itself as the finest acid house record since Paranoid London’s “Paris Dubs 1”. The combination of detached spoken vocals, eerie synth lines and touches of almost post punk attitude supply an extra layer of snarl which pushes this above the other acid tracks floating around today. On the flip, Blakkat and DJ Spun revive their Black Spun moniker to drive “Indecision” even deeper and darker into the post peak thunderstorm of blazing strobes.

Light Sounds Dark travels through space enclosed within a case of its own building, surrounded by a mass of the forms created by our habitual thoughts. Through this medium we look out upon the world and naturally see everything tinged with its predominant colors, and all rates of vibration which reach us from without are more or less modified by its rate.” This is what is meant when they say that another person’s vibes are “on my wavelength…”

Pastamusik present Corrosive Days a Acid-Bass 4-Tracker by Etcher. The title track Corrosive Days deals with the consistent depletion of time at every single day. No matter what happens, at the end the time is irrecoverable gone und the process start all over again. In Wormway we dive underneath the earth, into the myriads of tunnels created by our little flat mates during their ever- lasting travels through the ground. On the B-Side we first get electronically sedated Sedition and then converted into steam Vapor People to finally float away like little clouds. With Corrosive Days, Etcher submitted a terrific homogeneous and timeless interpretation of classic Roland-Productions and successfully avoids to sound frumpy or worn-out.

Gunnar Haslam returns to dancefloor pastures with this follow-up for the esteemed NYC Mister Saturday Night imprint. Opener “Poshlost” is trippy and melancholic, with dusty, dub techno-influenced chords ricocheting around a delay-laden sound-space, underpinned by a simple-but-effective rhythm. “Margareten” ups the intensity, with ragged acid lines and a relentless techno groove providing contrast to the deepness of his chords. Finally, “Replacement” sits somewhere between the two tracks, with rolling techno chords, fuzzy textures, gently building melodies and fizzing percussion creating a rush-inducing mood.
