Jason Fine – Kontra Musik Mixes [KM010]

As one of the younger breed of Detroit talents, Jason Fine is still just starting to get a foothold, despite having a good few years of releases behind him. His Kontra Musik relationship has proven to be the most fruitful, and this remix package capitalizes on that with two top shelf commissions. A Made Up Sound brings his unmistakable broken house swing to bear, with warming subs and thick swathes of pad and melody twisted to Dave Huismann’s crafty designs. Heinrich Muller brings the Drexciyan vibes in abundance with his punchy electro stance that remains peerless after all these years.

Regen – Spring Toy / Lindberg / Shudder [HKR007]

SPRING TOY / LINDBERG / SHUDDER

“Spring Toy” is an elegant A-side crafted with classic house influences in mind. Meandering casually before beginning its ascent into deepspace territory, Detroit styled synth lines and intricate melodies hang above a funky undertone which hooks from the off. Continuing its cosmic trajectory, the EP’s B-sides set their coordinates into dub techno regions. “Lindberg”s quirky astral synths and futuristic soundscape trigger a dream-like state…think sci-fi beams and interplanetary navigation and you’re half way there. “Shudder” is a more up-tempo sonic excursion, propelled by its galloping techno rhythms. The ebb and flow of trippy pads and crystalline waves play to the senses.

Nick Sinna – Voyager Remixes EP [PN015]

Nick Sinna has been on the radar lately with his debut release for Prime Numbers “PN 13”. Sticking to the dark corners of the dance floor as of late, the label has commissioned the spaced out bass child, Conforce and Spectral’s secret weapon, James T Cotton to add their touch with edits on 2 of the tracks. Conforce takes Sinna’s “Real Time” further down the worm hole, adding molten pressure to the percussion, and cutting up the vocal to reinforce “time seems to feel more slow”; while the acid warrior himself, James T Cotton stays true to his roots on his rework of “Voyager”, taking the edge off the snap and slicking the groove down to a more deep, melodic trip.

Ben Sims & Kirk Degiorgio – Machine [M001]

New label by Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio. Entitled, appropriately enough, Machine, the EP sees Degiorgio deliver the deep melodicism of “Machine Theme”, while Sims contributes one of his typically twisted productions in the shape of “Metal Works”, an alienating slice of prickly techno. To round it off, Sims remixes “Machine Theme”, concentrating on a tough 909 rhythm.

JT Stewart – Ophelia [EVR007]

Best known for his releases across Bunker, Delsin, W.T. Recordings and more under the shark loving $tinkworx moniker, US producer JT Stewart is retaining the Drexciyan themes that ran through that recent 12inch while reining in some of the dread filled textures that permeated its every pore in favour of a more classicist take on the Detroit Utopian techno vision.

Pär Grindvik- Wyatt ARP [STHLMLTD024]

“It’s been four years since my last own EP on Stockholm LTD. The main reason for this is that I have been surrounded by music that has inspired me much more than my own. This EP was written and produced with strict narrow frames and a huge amount of frustration. I was tired of waiting for the inspiration to kick in, then suddenly it appeared with a strength that I havent felt for long time. Im now curious for more. While sketching the title track, “Wyatt Arp”, I couldnt get Detroit legend, Terrence Dixon, out of my mind. Terrence is a long time hero of mine, and an artist that always stays on the true side of what we do while most of us occasionally leave our paths. I had to ask him to do a rework.” / Par Grindvik
