Plant43 – Frozen Monarch [FR026]
UK based Emile Facey joins the frustrada familia bringing a heavy, ice cold and highly emotive 3 track EP. Much in the vein of ERP and the likes but with a sharper sounding more abstract approach. This makes Plant43 a unique and welcome addition to the Frustrated Funk label.
E.R.P. – Pith [FR024]
New Frustrated Funk release by E.R.P. aka Convextion aka Gerard Hanson, the man with the tear-jerking string electro-techno.
Donnie – Olmec Save Us [NDATL009]
Kai KZR Alce of NDATL announces the upcoming release of Olmec Save Us by R&B powerhouse Donnie. The original mixes produced by Alce is marked by high-end tones and layered, multitracked vocals. The musicality conveys an otherworldly, high-frequency vibration and is generally more percussive, with greater emphasis on the keyboards (played by Ricky Corey). While listeners are treated to the full-length orignal versions of Donnie’s epic tale, the Yoruba Soul Mix by noted house producer Osunlade allows for a deeper interpretation of the overall message. Also included are instrumentals of both versions that will have house heads anticipating personal and creative transformation through the sound and on the dance oor.
Rick Wade – Night Addiction EP [HY005]
Detroit’s original underground groove-maker comes on board with a 4-track package of goodies. Mr. Wade brings back the deep and soulful vibes of his famous ‘night series’ with the Night Addiction ep. The A-side title track kicks off with dark keys winding through a thumping bassline and sultry horns, while Enter Dawn plunges deep into an ocean of warm pads and hypnotic bass. Flip over to the B-side for the obscure sounds of Hold Youth’s modern rework of Night Addiction, plus S3A’s disco-house interpretation, full of funky sampling, that will surely have hands up in the air.
John Daly – Pandora [1TRACK008]
John Daly dropping a monster track on his own 1track Records. Moving away from the previous deeper and chicago rooted tracks on the label he drops a massive peak time house track with massive chords and a pulsating sub baseline. Flipside has a more stripped and dubby Pandora Box remix.

DJ Stingray – F.T.N.W.O. [WEME313.9]
Second full length album by Detroit techno underground veteran Sherard Ingram (Urban Tribe) under his Stingray monniker. Moody, faster paced nautical electro/techno of the highest order.
The Reflektor aka Gifted & Blessed – Las Ruinas Mayas [WO-2K12]
There has been much speculation about the significance of the Mayan system of timekeeping. Many researchers on the subject have verified that the Mayan long count calendar, which is only one of several advanced timekeeping tools devised by the Mayan people, comes to an end on December 21, 2012, with no real clear explanation as to what exactly that signifies. This musical offering is not meant to speculate on the meaning of this date. Instead, it serves as a tribute to one of the most astronomically, mathematically and architecturally advanced civilizations in the history of planet Earth. Each track is a tribute to one of the many Mayan spiritual sites known to date.
Walt J – Reflection Selections [FIT/WALT-J004]
Reissue of selected tracks from the”Reflection” LP by Walt J, originally released on Dow Records in 1997. This is the fourth and final release on the Walt J series on FIT, created revisit the back catalog of this very talented producer.
Dez Andres – Culture Shock [AUDI004]
Although he started his career back in the early 2000s and has links with Moodymann’s Mahogani Music label, Andres’ profile has increased of late thanks to a string of brilliant EPs for M1 Sessions and his own La Vida . The time is surely right, then, to drop his first commercially available mix CD. As you’d expect, it’s firmly rooted in soul, effortlessly joining the dots between disco-funk, jazz, slow jams, global beats and summery Latin flavas. Opening with the Universal Robot Band’s impeccable “Dance and Shake Your Tambourine”, Culture Shock sits somewhere between a particularly good radio show and a dancefloor-bating mix-up, making it perfect for home listening. It also includes Gilberto Gil’s disco era samba classic “Toda Menina Baiana”, which is never a bad thing.
Ekman – Tessellation Automata [AFS013]
Follow-up to the recent Ekman release on Bunker/Panzerkreuz and we have further idiosyncratic electronic experiments on this deep and dastardly EP.
