Wild Oats present the highly anticipated second collaboration from FunkinEvil aka Kyle Hall & FunkinEven. The duo offer up a 4 track EP with sounds that pull you into the Evil world. This follow-up release ventures into the world of the unknown, and the trapped. “You fear what you do not understand” …
R-Zone – R-Zone 04 [RZONE004]
For the fourth R-Zone, we serve up three more tracks of fizzing atmospheric house. First track Exclamation is rough and rugged with rattling percussion hidden behind layers of grainy sci fi ambiance and the breathy exhalations of a male voice. Nebulous pads and synths spiral around each other forming a dense layer of dust and next track March Of The Worms is even more militant. This one crawls deep below the surface where analogue machines carve out weird patterns, forming a truly knackered sounding house groove. Finally, Claustrophobic Habits bangs a bit harder, its all splintered drums and coarse claps backed with a howling, gnarly groan and truly transports you to a sonic universe miles away from the norm.

Mr. G – Retrospective [REKIDS012]
Illuminating compilation of trax from stalwart London producer Colin McBean, spanning a decade and half. The man himself talks of his “soulful, twisted low-end funk sound” and he’s right on the money: his productions have found fans in disparate factions of the underground, from the afterparty tech-house set to the UK bass upstarts, via the deeper house heads. Long before he began his association with Rekids, the label behind this compilation, G was rolling out gold on his own Phoenix G and labels like Defected, Duty Free, Shuffled, End, Tag and Careless, under such aliases as The Reaver, Mango Boy and Halcyon Daze. For this 21-track comp he’s selected his own highlights from this vast body of work, and it’s effectively the most potent cache of secret weapons that a DJ could hope to stumble upon this year. Of the Mr G-assigned cuts pay special heed to the bass-licked warehouse thump of ‘Hear Me Out’, the jazzwise tribalism of ‘Jet Black’, the priapic boogie-tech of ‘Shelter (Unreleased Version)’ and the headier Detroit stylings of ‘G’s Strings’, while the lockstep discoid bounce of The Reaver’s ‘Mmmm’ and Mango Boy’s sickly minimal, psychedelic ‘Potion’ also impress.
Stingray313 – NKKTWO 2 [NL015]
After a 3 year gap since his last release on [Naked Lunch] our next release is from a bonafide Detroit legend; Stingray313.
Generation Next – Medication EP [7DAYSENTGN1001]
Generation Next is back with his second single release. The Medication EP features 3 tracks that are inspired by the streets of Detroit City. “Sum Light’ starts us off with an exuberant acid bass line followed by a truly original 808 drum pattern. ‘Generic Current’ is a smooth flowing, simple house track: the bass plays, the drums knock, and the claps excite. The last track, ‘Acid Alcohol’, will soon become known as a classic acid track – just listen to it and you’ll see why. As a bonus, there is a surprise gift inside each copy!
The Parallel – Red Flash EP [SINGR003]
Singular Records is really happy to welcome Colin Mckeown, aka The Parallel, from Dublin, for the third release on the label. Known for making timeless Detroit house and techno, he delivered another splendid Ep this time, Red Flash EP, warm and emotional, perfect recordings from a very unique producer.
Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff – The Transmission Express [CCRT003]
Since Jasper & Maarten played at one of the first ever-Concrete party’s called “Twsted II”, they knew this Parisian movement was something rare and unique. As an ode they made these tracks keeping in mind these magic early Sunday morning hours. The result is two melodic and atmospheric influenced tracks. Their brother in crime Makam is responsible for the remix. Machine soul techno music are the keywords of this Paris-Amsterdam affair.
Motuo – Rotation EP [WRR028]
We are proud to present our first release with the talented techno-producer Motuo. Slick mixed beats and dreamy compressed strings on this 3-tracker, yet with an incredible punch in the drums. All jammed out on drum machines and cut up with spacey synth recordings and tight bass sequences. The futuristic vibes of the A-side flips us on our heads as the last track Rotation, with it’s full-on rhythm programming and flowing arrangement tells us a story of love for classic house, and that no one should forget their sources of inspiration.
Blackboxx – Black Boxx # 3 – 3 [FPR038]
Titlewise not to be confused with Ferris Park 37. 4 warm house tracks from unknown producer – comes with a Damien Zala remix (Rowtag).
Yss – Descend EP (Traxx Remix) [UBR002]
The sound of YSS, is gravitating towards old school Detroit, working harmonies as well as stabby chords, with classic 909 programing keeping the stems on a short leash. On the A side is a remix by the Chicago based producer Melvin Oliphant III aka Traxx.
John Daly – One More City EP [SECRET010]
Three deep, spheric house tunes by Ireland’s John Daly on Secretsundaze. Glorious string loaded tracks with nice basslines and warm pads. All tracks have a nice melancholic and Detroit-ish techno feel.
Parassela – Home Alone EP [RST017]
Parassela is the studio and live project of Blawan and The Analogue Cops. The project lands on Restoration, featuring the appearance of Pariah on track A1, a crossover monster of techno and garage. Getting darker, A2 is an unfriendly radio-activity with a gloomy chicagoid reminiscence. Side B displays two dystopic cuts of massive sci-fi acidic techno. There are no titles for the tracks, just insurgent grooves, by men and machines, coming from magnetic tapes.
Floorplan aka Robert Hood – Paradise [MPM16LP]
Paradise sees minimal Detroit techno icon Robert Hood exploring the Floorplan concept in more expansive style. The Floorplan project was founded in the mid 90s, as Hood looked to merge his minimalist approach with elements of house, disco, funk and gospel. Explored intermittently over a six year period, Hood put it to one side and it was a reissue of the Floorplan debut by Rush Hour that inspired him to revisit the project in 2011, scoring a bonafide gem in “We Magnify His Name”. Explored in album format here, Paradise is a mixture of all new material and tracks culled from these recent M Plant 12″ releases, lending the album a sense of continuity. It’s all the more impressive when you consider the fact Hood’s been releasing one highly conceptual album a year since 2009.
The Third Man – Pipes of Helios Canyon [EPM004V]
Features 2 tracks taken from The Third Man’s debut album Beyond the Heliosphere with Legowelt remixing Pipes of Helios Canyon, with the addition of the growling Techno tune The Tracker.
