Konerytmi is back for his final EP on the Telomere series. Here we have a six tracks mini LP, with a blend of breaks, electro, IDM and tech house, there’s something for all hours of the night.
Konerytmi – Sanaton EP [TELOMERE017]
acid
Sound Synthesis – Orbital 104 [ORBITAL104]
VA – Everywhere Pt. 2 LP [PARTOUT0.02]
A year on from the first installment, French electro stable Partout are back with a second volume of Everywhere, introducing the world to more of their deep cover operators working their studios in pursuit of machine funk perfection. AV1 leads with some trippy acid goodness, while Binh Baggs has a techier intention. The Trots bring something ghoulish and nasty to the table with ‘Pelusa’, while Yate plays around with trancey tropes in a gnarly rave context. There’s bags of personality spilling out of these tracks, confirming Partout as a reliable destination for refreshing approaches to the electro-techno tradition.
Generali Minerali – Rocketman EP [RFR020]
Mike Tansella Jr. B2B Elena Sizova @ Sons Of Traders Release Showcase (Tbilisi) 10.09.2022
Tunik – 777 EP [FE076]
Furthur Electronix presents some fresh dance floor bombs from one of the most talented and uprising artists in the Barcelona Underground scene. Tunik, an Argentinian artist based in Barcelona, is still a relative newcomer, but his sound is well developed and shows rich inventions as this new mix of electro and techno proves. ’16Bits Underwater’ opens with crisp, snappy beats and coruscated acid lines, ‘Untitled Break 3 (Bleepy mix)’ has an old school feeling ‘Elektro 02’ is a dark and brain frying workout with superb drum programming before the closer wallows in a more introspective mood.

FLML – Wired Cruel Run [ALV009]
The machines maniacs Bologna based duo FLML returns to Alley Version with “Wired Cruel Run”, a totally DIY 6-tracker EP of technoid experiments, drony patterns, wachy funks, inspired by the obscure side of Chicago jack-beats, early Industrial music, J.G. Ballard’s novels, low-budget VHS era horror movies.
All tracks are recorded analogically live on reel to reel.
Frantic Excess – Frantic Excess [B013]
Beau (Wanzer), Jason (Letkiewicz) and Misha (Khokhlov) are Frantic Excess and they’re here to sour up your night. Very good for any mutant hideout or humid dungeon.
VA – Triangle’s Peak LP [GTDLP5]
Gated’s second compilation takes inspiration from the path less travelled, the earthen underbelly that binds disparate threads to its wonky centre. So while the music here is from artists all over the world, each track is grounded in a quirky, off-kilter sound, from the opener by UK hardware house don Perseus Traxx to the closer by Space Agent, the alias of a yet-to-be unveiled techno artist. In between we get Gated stalwarts Guavid, Lucita Octans, Acidulant, and Lloyd Stellar with their takes on the wonk, plus glassy-eyed electro from Austin, USA-based Terrestrial Access Network, unusually banging fare from man of the moment MOY, and broken techno from the criminally under-appreciated Stacie-Anne Churchman. There’s also the reissued and remastered sub-bass squelcher Beta Carotene by Modified Starch, which was originally released in 1998 on UK breaks label Slalom.
Sound Synthesis – Hum Of Human Dreams LP [FE077]
The acidic electro master Sound Synthesis is back on Furthur Electronix with a brand new album.
Daniel Monaco – Acid Maria [BAP166]
Following on from Tu Sei Pazza, Daniel Monaco returns to the Bordello with the bitter taste of the TB303 on his tongue. Acid Maria smoulders with the intensity of a Belgian new beat banger circa 1989. Smoky words whisper over rusted rhythms before the fog and strobe take hold. Cold strings haunt with snaking coils of 303 squawk growing ever bolder in this intense track. The flip is divided into two very different remixes. First up is Curses who approaches the piece in his own unique way. The fanfare and frigid lines of the original are expanded. Strings come care of guitars as a bright synth wave reimaging unfolds, a reimaging with one of the most daring breaks you are likely to ever hear. Younger Than Me close. This interpretation adds a fevered tone to the original. BPMs rise and pitches are pushed while chilly notes soon balloon into a frenzy to bring a full floor energy. Three tracks born to bring brimming basements into the beyond.
I-F – The Fetish Death [V-033]
Choose how you live and choose how you die… I-F choosing the Fetish Death. 4 classic I-F sounding tracks to accompany you bailing out in style and ecstasy… All tracks recorded @ IFMX on modular systems.
TLXCO – Errata Corrige [FCT001]
Feral Colony is the new label from U.S. based artist Chris Mitchell, focused on direct, improvised methods. The second release comes from TLXCO.
Kalcagni – Manners EP [D91005]
This debut EP from Manchester producer Kalcagni brings us 4 slices of deep, vibey electro. Kicking off with EP title track ‘Manners’ which provides 303 acid lines laced with infectious chord stabs and beefy 808 drums. Next up ‘Retox’ takes proceedings even deeper with a soulful, slightly melancholic touch. On the flip side ‘Wrong Fix’ jacks up the BPMs for a wonky electro affair, before EP closer ‘It Knows Me Bad’ rounds things off with oscillator sync bass stylings interspersed with minor chords, modular percussion and punchy drums.
VA – Point Central 1 [SC029]
Point Central is the first edition of a new compilation by Science Cult showcasing the intersection of Electro and IDM. Much like the classic French comic series that inspired the name, we aim to blur time and space into something new. The first compilation includes 12 tracks from Alleged Witches, Bless The Marcc, drøn, Fleck E.S.C, Kim Cosmik, L/F/D/M, Lloyd Stellar, Lord Jalapeños, Poladroïd, Serge Geyzel, Syrte and Visions Of Glosters.

Brunson – Hug Your Friends [TRESOR327]
Vibrant acid tracks knead muscular electronic dance structures on Gerald Brunson’s debut EP. A member of the Model 500 extended family and running Dance Sacred Records, Brunson presents a restless world that beckons forth from the underground of the Midwest, full of bouncing flair and techno passion.
VA – BAR Records 08 [BAR08]
BAR08 is a various artists compilation featuring the Italian art-aud / secret rave mastermind Kreggo, the debut of Rotterdam talent Pim and Proper, a label debut by German bass wizard Panda Lassow, Teslasonic returns with another mindbending monster, Teeta; the third italian on this sampler with a big electro bass tune and last but not least the mysterious Stoornis 2 with heavy electronic violence.
Christian Kroupa X LCN – Worlds Connect EP [KRI001]
From a Balkan basement comes an EP so filthy that we had to cover the record with a color photo. KRI records first installment oscillates between EBM and electro, ready for sweaty dancefloors and those extra long afterhours needing some “warm leatherette”. A well crafted five tracker journey is a debut collab by two veterans, Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir. Get ready for plenty of melodies, massive chords and menacing vocals spiced with an epic acid remix by the Mannequin boss Alessandro Adriani.
