Helium Robots – Jarza EP [RB031]
The Helium Robots aka Ewan Wilmott make imaginative Factory-Records-electro-balearic-disco, errr, and robot music. Two tracks of that caliber are placed on the a-side. The flip has Theo Parrish laying his gifted hands on Jarza to two different outcomes. ”Translation 1” is an up-to-date Parrish space cadet trip, while the second take emphases the dark and typical Theo magic in his roots house period.
Delano Smith – An Odyssey LP [SUSH017]
Sushitech presents the new Delano Smith album, An Odyssey. Delano shows us the musical world he is living in today. Taking all of his experiences from the past years, all the various styles of records he has played and all of the inspiration that has soaked into his soul from playing in major clubs and cities around the globe, the album comes together as a single entity and represents the sound of Delano Smith and his work with Sushitech. The album sound is deep, lush and dry just as you would expect from a true Detroit legend. Moving all the way from Deep House to Techno, Delano and Sushitech have collected his best works during the last 2 years and compiled an album of new tracks and unreleased rare mixes.
Kai Alcé & Omar-S – Jive Time (Unreleased Beats) [NDATL008]
This limited 7″ offers two deliciously simple but bombastically effective drum tracks that should appeal to those who like to pepper their mixes with cute percussive interludes. Both tracks are stripped-down, 808-heavy grooves based on a pair of collaborations with Kai Alce that first appeared on the Jive Time 12″ in December 2010. The percussion is of course spot on, with plenty of repetitive claps, 808 cowbells and, on flipside “Incognigro (Bonus Beats)”, the most subtle of deep house chords.

MK / The 7th Plain – The MKappella / Lost [XDSR002]
Second release in the Delsin X-DSR series containing re-issues of personal favourites.. MK’s The MKappella was originally a track on the b-side of the very original version of his huge Burning EP on the Area 10 label. The MKappella is some original innocent deep sunset house. Other side contains the adventurous ‘Lost’ by The 7th Plain aka Luke Slater, taken from his debut album ‘The 4 Cornered Room” way back from 1994, the high days of the UK Techno scene, with lot of hints towards the original Detroit sound.
Sebastien San – Night Ride EP [NDM020]

GB – The Provider EP [DX002]
Superb interstellar electronic grooves from LA’s Gifted and Blessed. A-side is a loosely jazzed, freeform Techno number called ‘Provider’, nodding to Drexciya with a fluid, hardware driven sound close to those recent smarts from Aybee. Flipside features the flashier Electrofunk of ‘The Receiver’, coming again with the soul-flowing 313 signatures and an irresistible feel for wired, metallic grooves, while ‘We Can See You’ neatly balances nastier EBM flavours with damn sweet chords and a heavy dose of roughed-up machine funk.
VA – 5 Years Compilation (Part Four) [SEMANTICA030.4]
Part 4 of this special series, celebrating 5 years of Semantica Records. Tracks by Inigo Kenedy, Aiken, Silent Servant and Coushin.
