Mental Model – Rational Emotive Machine EP [MNTLTRX102]
The Emotiv Rational Machine is in full effect and gives the unnecessary things no attention and focusing only on its own distinct goal, which is to make you dance. No fancy melody, which are distracting you from being one with the bass and the 4 to the floor. No distraction from overloaded ego spilled arrangements. Ganser Syndrom; A 808 and a handfull fx with a growling synth that sees no high frequencies, maybe a little bit here and there. Vitamin B12; We give you a boost! Your brain won’t be disappointed with fantasizing on what to do next on the floor. Prodromal; It’s a 909 groove and that’s it! It’s a conclusion of many circumstances that many love that sound of this machine. Obession; It’s an obession to go out at the weekend and move like freak on the floor in your favorite club
Mental Model – Mental Model [MNTLTRX101]
MNTL TRX first release by Mental Model comes on strictly limited handstamped vinyl. Track 1: Delta Waves. We push you into the Delta Conscious State while grooving! Shivering Jupiter pads and a perfect slowly rising squelching 303 pattern riding together on the 909. Kick by kick it’s pushing you into the state where magic happends. Track 2: Soul Algorithm. An eleven minutes afterhouer pusher straight recorded from our machines. A perfect tool to decelerate the floor and to push the limits. Track 3: Remission. A swarming repetitive pure acid groove. A wired tool wich we juiced out of our gear just for you. Perfect for abuse on your decks. The remission sets in any moment you want it to. Track 4: Hyperthym. The Tr-909 meets Re-502 missusage garnished with a endless 303 bassline.
Polysick – Daydream LP [AUDIOMER011]
These last few years Rome based producer Egisto Sopor has been turning heads with a steady stream of most excellent releases. A cdr on Legowelt’s Strange Life Records, a tape on 100 % Silk, a double LP on Planet Mu and an evergrowing series of jams that are put on soundcloud or on his youtube channel. All of which offer atmospheric acid tinged techno laced with idiosyncratic touches. He has thus developed quite a cult following among lovers of lo fi electronic music who eagerly await his next grainy video, that feel like lost transmissions from an early nineties MTV broadcast. Polysick doesn’t get out much and keeps a low profile which adds to his rather enigmatic standing.With his new LP ‘Daydream’, Egisto has created the perfect soundtrack to a midnight trip through darkened cityscapes. Starting out like a confused jam session it slowly takes off and twists into uncanny shapes conjuring up images of a futuristic nightlife that plays out under neon lights, with a feeling of dread constantly lurking in the shadows. This is techno that tells a tale; a storyboard that comes pushing through in muffled flashes. A chase scene through deserted back alleys, executed while hunter and prey are both in a half-awake state, stuck in an infinite loop. And when the ambient synth twirls unravel and a 4/4 pulse kicks in and tears through the dreamy state of conciousness, it never signals a reassuring release of tension. You might dance to it, but not without anxiously looking over your shoulder.
Mystica Tribe – Flowers [SD027]
First of two new bassheavy techno-ish dub EP’s by Mystica Tribe. Four tracks of excellent electronic dub with heavy techno and acid influences. Although only his second release after his debut in 2011 with ”Meditation Stick” the Japanese Mystica Tribe already delivers a powerful trademark sound: loose, shuffling beats, layered with heavy basses, tribal percussion and trippy elements, like the dark acid tale on titletrack ”Flowers” and the classic melodica stabs on ”Fractale” and ”Moon & Stone”. Tokyo Dub at it’s best.
X501 – X501 EP [KRL004]
Fierce techno and acid on this 4 Tracker EP by X-501 for Krill Music. The EP comes with a Bleak rework.
Dungeon Acid – Blight Acid EP [HHS002]
Huhta Home Stereo returns with their next release – this time from label owner Jean-Louis Huhta’s Dungeon Acid alias. Two extended tracks of hypnotic live acid sessions that are deep, dark and dirty- just how we like it! Also includes a locked groove Dungeon Beat for the creative DJ’s.
Mock & Toof – Walking The Streets (Remixes) [TINC008]
‘Walking The Streets’ is the second single to be taken from Mock & Toof’s latest acclaimed album ‘Temporary Happiness’. This remix 12″ offers a return to the dancefloor sound that M&T started out with and features the vocals of album collaborator Ghostape. Dutch synth wizard Legowelt twists the track into a 90s breakbeat rave mover with a squelchy acid gurgle to move things along. Rephlex’s DMX Krew takes on the B-side, dropping killer analogue acid house vibes along the way.
Fah – Fahzers Set To Earth [CPU00000001D]
Holland’s FAH (aka Robin de Bekker) presents his album of braindance influenced electro Fahzers Set To Earth. Tight, punchy electrobass riddims, operating on the cusp of Rephlexian electro a la DMX Krew and Drexciyan aqua-funk, Fah cycles from the skating 808 patterns of ‘Not Enough Fahzers’ to the whirring syncopations and jazz chords of ‘Casting The Rod’ on the front, while paying tribute to James Stinson on the flipside’s woozy ‘Glowism’ and the skewed, angular hyperfunk programming of ‘Magnetic Freedom’.
Jodey Kendrick – Steel Erector [CAT206CD]
Rephlex hooked up with Jodey Kendrick. One might say it’s very Drexciyan or Aphexy music, but that’s because it’s rooted in Rephlex’s favourite genres of New York Disco, Chicago House and Detroit Techno, though with a certain mystery something special added. Careful use of microtuning and analogue tweaking, combined with a very British pastoral quality, Jodey provides us with something pleasurable and original to listen to every time. This album is the accompaniment to Jodey Kendrick’s other recent album, Plus Ten. Jodey has worked long hours for the last eight and a half years as a steel fabricator on some of London’s largest buildings but this hasn’t stopped him from amassing a library of hundreds of tunes, a reflection of his passion and drive for music, hence the Steel Erector album.
Alien Rain – Alien Rain 2 [ALIENRAIN002]
Milton Bradley’s Alien Rain project presents a master class in the kind of expertly sculpted acid techno that emerged in the mid 90s and here is the second release from the project.
CCO – Music For Cosmonauts [LXCD001]
CCO played a stunning and completely live & analog set at Zukunft, in Zurich. Lux Rec asked him to reenact the set and record it once again, live. The result is an electronic music suite, filled with 808 and 707 beats, 303 acid lines and spatial sounds. It was magic to see CCO at work, as no computer was used in the process every pattern specs had to be written down on paper, and machines programmed on the run. Following the vinyl EP previously released on Lux Rec, which contained revised excerpts taken from same liveset, this CD includes the entire piece.

Matti Turunen – Elokuu Ep [MUHK001]
Muhk present their debut EP as a small label specializing in hardware made electronic music. The Elokuu EP produced by Finland’s Matti Turunen; one half of the Morphology electro duo, is Matti’s 2nd solo EP and within these 3 hypnotic techno/house/electro analogue jams, Matti shows us the beauty of producing electronic music the old skool way with glowing synths and clattering drum machines.
Fishermen – Fishermen [SKUDGEWHITE001]
Skudge presents the first release in a new series called Skudge White. Fishermen is a new project created by Martin (MRSK) and his friend Thomas. Inspired by the sea. The EP includes 5 tracks of industrial edged slo-mo electronics.
Frak – Börft EP [MANIA024]
Sweden’s (almost) unknown techno veterans Börft Records we have played and seeded wizely through out the years – to be honest, we’ve hid their treasures for years too. Forget all you know about Swedish electronic music, this is Börft crew, the core underground of ”söta bror’s” techno history – here represented by Frak – a full out techno acid punch. The EP is including a beautiful Dj Sotofett remix.
