Elec Pt. 1 – The Truth EP [AACID001]
Jackin Chicago styles with a distinct European edge, as Elec Pt.1 kicks off the Abstract Forms sub-label, Abstract Acid. Expect Bunker style dynamics, low-slung basslines, contorting acid and downright mean ‘n’ moody riffs.

Africans With Mainframes – The Sound Of Something Ending EP [MATH046]
Africans With Mainframes return with ‘The Sound of Something Ending’, a monstrous three track EP full of heart-pounding, dirty industrial styled acid house in the way that they can only do. Along with the title track, ‘The Pleasure Seekers’ and ‘98.6’ throw down some seriously heavy energy.

Andy Blake – Cave Paintings 2 [CP002]
Andy Blake gets back to basics with a 2nd installment of his all-analogue, hardware-powered ‘Cave Paintings’ workouts. The vibe is meaningfully rough and ready, the A-side capturing a locked-in drum machine pattern and mental reversed synthline synced in tangled, captivating copulations, whereas the flipside gets loose with proper Chicago-meets-UK jack patterns.

Miguel Manzano – Raw Onion [PPFSPECIALOPS04]
Release number four on the scruffy militant wing of the beloved Popular People’s Front label. This time around we have a raw, stripped down and acid-fueled workout from Manchester’s Miguel Manzano.
Disco Nihilist – It’s Grim Up North [CP03]
Four tracks of rugged ‘ouse music from Disco Nihilist. These tracks are 100% hardware built, from the ruff-as-yer-nana’s kneecaps beats of ‘relentless’ and ‘relentless drums’ – paying homage to Steve Poindexter’s ‘Work That MF’, to the sleazier, more hypnotic ‘Quit While You’re Ahead’ nd the pounding jack of ‘You Never leave Your Room’.
Ibex – Inner Light [IBEX002]
Tony Ollivierra with a second release on his own Ibex Music label. The title track strikes hard with a flashback into acid house done up new millennium style. This track breathes of electronic bliss and madness stirring up memories of the past yet still clinging to the present and future hope of electronic music. Next track, “Ex animo”, picks up the pace and is an Ibex production in rare form. The flip side “H.B.B”, Human Beat Box, is a monster club banger and is expected to top charts worldwide. “Solidago” kicks off with a dreamy string chord that filters away into some interesting synthesizer work and arrangement.
Dennis Ferrer – The Red Room [OB016T]
Up next on Objektivity, Dennis Ferrer recorded this track last year with Philadelphia singer Dawn Hulton – remixed by Detroit’s Kyle Hall on the B side.
Morning Factory – New Memories EP [YRE027]
Morning Factory’s second Yore EP, “New Memories”, is bursting full of fresh ideas. pener “Maiden”Voyage” is classic Morning Factory, an ever-so-tight house jam that twists and turns for eight rapturous minutes. Darker undercurrents run through “Last March of the Ants” when church organ chords stretch themselves across a windswept, broken beat shuffle. Creamy organ sounds also course through “Radioshow”, which takes a nostalgic glance backward to a golden age where something like “Green Onions” had a chance of getting played on the radio. But the EP’s most body-shaking cut arrives last in the form of “Cherish”, a charging tech-house hellraiser animated by rowdy basslines and shotgun claps.

Miles Sagnia – Astrobiological Funk EP [ORN008]
New Ornate Music from Miles Sagnia. The A side is reserved for the lush, monolithic acid work out that is ‘Interplanetary Visitors’. On the flip ‘Bounce Theory’ sets its stall out with a future thinking, hip shaking house groove. And ‘Twilight’ gives a nod to old school Chicago, but has its mind out amongst the stars.
