“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.
The Band PolyRhythmic is compiled thoughts on rhythmic structures between Kate Simko and Tevo Howard. Here featured is the first appearance of PolyRhythmic who are proudly presenting the theme track in 3 versions. The band is also currently in studio work hoping to release more material, which includes coming EPs.
From the Signals imprint in the North of England comes two suitably rough and tough cuts of British house/techno from Liverpool wunderkind John Heckle. This is how techno and house should be made! Machine driven; raw, moody with heart and soul.
First released on Beautiful Granville Records, the band FLO Crew, meaning For Lovers Only Crew, was meant to be an outline for an actual performing band. In Other words, all instruments heard on the FLO Crew recordings were meant to be assigned to instrumentalists, leaving these recordings as, actually, templates of song concepts. Thus, featured here are all instruments composed and recorded by Tevo Howard. Simply put, FLO Crew is Tevo Howard’s funk Band. The Band itself addresses all aspects of romantic love, which includes breakup songs like the one featured here. The band should be considered a funk outfit that pays its own funky way of looking at many genres and tempos. Both tracks in this selection are in their original arrangements and re-mastered.
