Roberto Bosco – Biosphere [MSR005]

Unknown – Lost Trax 2 [SCSIID026]
SCSI is back with a classy Detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. As the second part of the Lost Trax series expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and Carl Craig-esque sounding strings. The Lost Trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we don’t believe it’s necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artist’s reputation.
Red Rack’em – Exhalt/Underground [SHIFTV001]
This EP is the debut release for Shift London and is Red Rack’em akaDanny Berman’s deepest release to date. “Underground” sees a dubbed out Detroit groove teased out over a driving bass line and understated kick drum. “Exhalt” tunnels even further into the machine functions of ever so warm deep house, with the quirkiest of synth lines arising in unison with a kick drum from the electronic ether to smile inducing results.

Jennifa digs deep into her bag for two dreamy house numbers plus ethereal remixes by Isoul8/Volcov & Marco Nega. Mostly instrumentals, bathed in a warm, uplifting glow.

Oracy – Bass Mood [MOJUBA014]
Cool release again on Mojuba! The a-side Bass Mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline… kind of the way Gerd and Pittmann can do it! A special trac that creates special moments on the floor! The b-side with Funk Advice is cooling things a little down, in the known dub light techno way of Oracy!
