Jerome Sydenham – Bad Dog [APT014]
‘Bad Dog’ shows Jerome exploring an experiment in thoroughly inspired Chicago House flavoured Techno. Lake Michigan’s chill runs all through the bass, hats and snares. A-sides don’t come much better than this. Completing the A-Side is, ‘Rabid Dog’. This is some foam – mouthed Techno with a lighter hint of old-school Chicago. One B-side, ‘Good Dog’ is a classy tune complete with Detroit stabs that get the Jerome treatment and a heavy dose of perfectly tinged 909 hats, that slice right through the mix.

Scan 7/$tinkworx – Coexist [FREQ013]
A-side is a great track by Scan 7, previously released in 1993 on the ”Magic Tracks Compilation” CD only. This is your chance to finally have it on vinyl! The B-side is a techno track in the well known Stinkworx style, and quality.
Aroy Dee – Beauty & Life [MOS014]
Label boss Aroy Dee signs for his already 8th release on his own MOS Recordings label. The track ‘Beauty’ reminds his label’s first release, a basic dreamy melodic house track. On the b-side we find man of the moment Rabih Beaini aka Morphosis dropping a heavy remix. Hot on the heels of his praised ‘What Have We Learned’-album takes his dark dusty ‘Cabinet’-remix all things in perspective.
Sankt Goran – Slobban [GORAN001]
Sankt Goran presents a old Swedish release that has been released as promo only in 1999. Its a release called Slobban by a late 90’s trio of Jens Johansson, Peter Gustafsson and Carl Magnus Ernström from Falun in the woods of Dalarna. Almost classic Detroit Techno tracks with some jazzy influences from these guys that have been playing around and tweeking their Deep Bass Nine, TB-303, Korg DW8000 and Yamaha DX7 & DX10, sprinkling some samples on top with the Casio FZ-10M since 1994.

DJ Yoav B. – Wisdom Traxx EP [MEA005]
DJ Yoav B. releases three new tracks on the Belgian Meakusma label. Gently rubbing shoulders with Detroit Techno and HipHop, built on crazy loops and raw rhythms, the tracks are enhanced with psychedelic and playful sounds, that give them the feeling of being in continuous flux and movement. The mood here is absorbing yet ambivalent. On top of this, Protect-U, from the fantastic Future Times camp, delivers a remix, pulling the music away from reality, firmly aiming it for the universe. With a mid-tempo House feeling, a crispy bassline and abstract synthesizer pattern, they take the listener beyond the infinite.
Sven Weisemann – Berlin Techno Podcast 029

Two deep space electro tracks EP, from the duo Matti Turunen and Michael Diekmann aka Morphology on the Spanish outfit Semantica Records.
Stephen Brown – Extensive Perception EP [HEM005]
Two Detroit tracks by Stephen Brown on his first appearance on Heliocentric Music. The record starts with “HMI”, a very deep dancefloor-experience with lots of spheric sounds, which make the track perfect for the crowd as well as for home-listerners. “My Harmony” is of such a beauty, that one simply has to listen. Ambient-soundscapes and electro-drummings are the key here and take the listener on a truly fantastic journey.
