Leeon – A New Chapter [7SR023]
A breakthrough artist features on this, the new 7th Sign, which also sees Conforce deliver a slick remix. Leeon, a Glasgow-based DJ and producer, uses his debut to serve up three beautiful slices of the proper machine soul we’ve come to expect from 7th Sign.
Lapien – Anvers EP [BLIQ004]
‘Anvers’, the French name for Belgian port Antwerp, starts in unassuming manner, synths swimming, bass pondering, a gentle cymbal tapping. It’s the sound of thoughtful admiration, as if Lapien is standing in front of the city’s towering gothic cathedral, motionless in the midst of a now modern metropolis. But then, as loops spring uncomfortably back and an insistent beat thunders into the fray, one realizes that this is no time for admiring architecture; this is a night drive through the city – coarse orange streetlamps, chrome blue reflections, droplet-stained window panes. Remixes by Conforce and Fred P.
Conforce – 24 EP [CBS012]
After Conforce’s tight album release on Delsin and other concept projects he did he/we went wild with this one and selected some tracks we just want to play out loud in a club from vinyl (incl. a killer remix by Gesloten Cirkel for the title track). At first sight these tracks dont have much in common… and probably still not for the second listen, but we didnt really bother for this one. It will be a standard in our dj box for the coming months with 4 tracks that all have a bit of a different groove and a different mood. Grain, Be There At Night, 24 and 24 remixed by Gesloten Cirkel. This is probably as versatile as a Clone Basement release can get.
Albert van Abbe – No Comment_0004 [NOCOMMENT004]
No comment is a platform focused on sharing channeled auditive and synaesthetic/ multi sensory perceptions. The concept was conceived to help the energy levels rise towards the transcendence of spacetime, entering the multiverse. The message is in the music, this is your last call.

Conforce – Escapism [90DSR]
Holland’s deep electronic specialist Conforce release his next full-length work, “Escapism”, on Delsin Records. Boris Bunnik has crafted another album of deep digital and authentic analogue bliss, combining elements of futurism with real hardware, decent software and to simply goes wherever it takes him, be that a landscape doused in dub, formed from a firmer techno template or built on a house groove. As such, the aptly entitled album is a wholly immersive listen from start to finish. Operating in its own deep and subliminal world of rhythm, it goes from lateral and dubby to more upright and kicking, touching on ambient moments and the odd classist moment along the way. From start to finish Escapism grabs your attention without being rushed, hurried or over-complicated. It’s the sort of album which works on both headphones up-close, but also on a dancefloor at distant thanks to its devilish detail but palpable presence.
VA – Inertia #4 [INERTIA004]
The final hurrah for Ann Aimee’s Inertia compilation sees four modern techno heavyweights add their exclusive sounds to the fold. Skudge are as economical yet efficient as you’d expect with their booming ‘Pollution,’ before Conforce designs yet more lush sounds with his deep technoid cut ‘When It Appeared.’ Restless Romanian Cosmin TRG confounds expectationst again with his rusty, rolling cut ‘Plaisir Interdit’ before Sascha Rydell gets a little spaced out on his kinetic and melancholic effort, ‘Rainy Days’.
Andres Zacco – Dextre EP [TRAUT010]
Traut Muzik presents release number 010 coming from Andrés Zacco. This EP includes two original tracks and a remix by the Dutch producer Conforce.
Conforce – Modern Amusement 012
Skudge – First Observation EP [ECHOCORDCOLOUR016]
Echocord Color delivers a new EP by the duo Skudge. It also includes a deep and dubby powerful remix by Conforce.
Conforce – Dystopian Elements EP [89DSR]
Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP. But don’t let the title fool you because, as is often the case with Boris Bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on Delsin.

Jared Wilson – Let Your Body, Make Your Body [DOLLY006]
Weird yet very funky & playable Chicago inspired house/acid tracks by Detroit’s Jared Wilson. Jacking rhythms, nasty 303 basslines and whispering voices creating this nice old-fashioned sexual energy. Conforce on remix duties delivers a deep & moody techy house rework.
Marco Zenker – Blue Air EP [ILIAN008]
Marco Zenker has his second record on Ilian Tape. “Invisible Shadows” its building up slowly and leads into a very open space – the perfect track to give the night another direction. “Remain Silent” goes down, you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne. Finally we have a tripping remix from Conforce. Its just free spirited, soulful and open minded.
Jeroen Search – Destiny [CSF041]
Raw, booming and pretty straightforward yet with that typical Jeroen Search touch. “Ellipse” is loopy, minimalistic and a very effective dancefloor weapon. “Periapsis” on the other hand is a calmer track, deepness, darkness, smoothness. The background sounds give it a unsettling vibe while the acid’ish stabs give it that hypnotic feel you drugheads all crave for. But the icing on the cake is definetely the Conforce remix.
