New Geeeman release on Jack For Daze sublabel. Proper jacking tracks firmly rooted in the good old Chi-town history of raw and banging house tracks.

“The Human Experience EP” from Jamal Moss is the 8th 12″ from this highly coveted and limited imprint. “How Wet Is Your Box” starts with a great distorted & chaotic synth line & is followed by “Siddhartha (Part One)”. Flip it for “Long Live The Flesh (The Edit)” & the title track. Fresh raw basements tracks.

The 1st official mix compilation for Mathematics Recordings done by fellow Chicagoan & Eargasmic boss is a retrospective that showcases the deep sound of the label that ranges from atmospheric acid, smooth techno, experimental electronic jazz, electro and house influences all recorded live.

The Beautiful Granville Days Volumes are a series of outtakes, remixes, and previously unreleased recordings from the operating days of the label Beautiful Granville Records. Some of the tracks are making their first appearances on vinyl.

Steven Tang presents “Mmmmmusic” under his Obsolete Music Technology moniker, a 4-track, 12″ vinyl single focuses in on melody, which has become the signature sound and of his label, Emphasis. The release includes also a Chicago Skyway remix.

The third installment of Andy Blake’s Cave Paintings series. All the Cave Paintings releases are one-take analogue excursions constructed by machines and recorded live. 3x is a simple but dramatically effective warmly buzzing bassline is clambered all over by layers of interlocking pure analogue percussion. 3y heads into thus far uncharted territory. An evil, growling LFO driven bass underpins militaristic percussion that’s slammed hard into ancient spring reverbs and accompanied by the sound of synthesisers being choked to death.

Lectric Sands presents “Transistor Madness”, the second release by Zoovox aka Ben Gebhardt (Dazzle Ships) and “Tropical” Jeremy Campbell (Tropical Computer System/Dazzle Ships/Bumrocks). They present some classic sounds of 80’s house and disco. Snappy claps, phased
hi-hats, moody synth pads, and sproings float over a swingin’ analogue bassline. The B-side, a version by Steve Summers brings it to new levels of dubbed-out psychedelia. Enhanced sproing, acid seepage, tropical synths, and Moar Cowbell.

Part 2 of the black box… containing mental afro-american post-apocalyptic industrial tribal techno for your average sunday afternoon.

The first of Various Artist release on Abstract Acid, ‘Downtown Dirt 1′ is packed full of chicago workouts. Tracks by Jackee, Interface88, MMMC (Man Made Mechanical Culture) and Steve Summers.

Skylax Records welcomes their 25th release, with Simoncino for the “Warrior Dance III”. This EP features on A Side the wonderfull “Warriors dance” (chicago’s jackin heaven’s not so far we guess), “Tropical vibe” that’s got this kind of disco feeling without sounding (thx god) nu-disco & to end “Hey detroit” that speaks for itself . On the B side, we have 2 remixes, one from Ron Trent & another atmospheric & deep as hell one from Chez Damier’s morning after mix part II.

The Londinium EP is the latest release on Uzuri Recordings and welcomes Chicago Skyway back to the fold. Musically, he keeps it closer to his Windy City heart. Hakim Murphy remixes the track and his rework retains the drawn-out essence of the original but brings a whole new hips-and-shoulders groove to the track. On the flip, Traffic plays out a very simple analogue groove over a clapping 808 percussive pattern. A slow, static-filled monster of a track – not abrasive for the sake of it – instead switching between muffled warmth and the hiss of synths working overtime.

“Cosmo Rhythmatic” by Hieroglyphic Being is the 18th CD on Music From Mathematics. The Sun God once again delivers claustrophobic technosoul of the highest order.
