Metropolis – Guardian of the Heartmachine EP [OHWL#Six]
Dutch millipede Nick Lapien offers a view of one of his intriguing projects, this time as Metropolis. This alter-ego, inspired by the 1927’ cultfilm, gives his idea of how the city would look like if it was created out of musical waves. Neo-electronic, mechanical, raw and as dark as a film noir.

D.I.E. – Break it down [MAP012]
D.J. Maaco is back at it again by keeping D.I.E. on the MAP! With long over due favorites such as Dutch Friends and Move Yo Body, this will be a 12 inch you don’t want to miss.

Dj Stingray – Electronic Counter [MCR00002]
Sherard Ingram’s Micron Audio label launches it’s opening foray into physical media, with his DJ Stingray name. This is a taster for his album due later in the year, four deep and dark techno tracks, proving that in the right hands, machines speak louder than words.
Cestrian / Perseus – Annihilator [FFLASH002]
Ali Renault dons his Cestrian outfit once again for some equally momentous movements for the Future Flash imprint. “Annihilator” surely ranks in the upper echelons of apt titles as Renault explodes into a frenzy of spazmoid analogue rhythms from the off. Spectral flourishes and bubbling textures keep it interesting and it all rides on top of a pummelling aqua techno groove. The aforementioned spectral elements are expanded on by Perseus Traxx on an eerie electro refix that displays all the producers’ talent for eking every last drop of lysergia out of analogue machinery.
Totebagz – Toteally Techno [ESP010]
Totebagz is the collaboration between two of Melbourne’s most daring minds, Jerky Perky aka Misha Hallenbach (Perks and Mini, Bamboo Musik) and DJ Biscuit (Moonrocks). On this limited edition disc, the Totebagz pile blankets of synth upon deep-fried circuitry upon drum machines that have a mind of their own.
Innergaze – Shadow Disco [SILK008]
100% Silk return with another exceedingly alluring drop, this time from Aurora Halal and Jason Letkiewicz aka Innergaze. Lithe, sexy post-punk disco is the vibe, NYC in 1981/2011 is the setting for ‘Shadow Disco’, strutting to languid dub bassline and preening synth flashes, before ‘Way Of Life’ retires to the balcony to ahem, powder one’s nose and gaze out at glittering harbour lights dancing off glass-curtained high rises. Soon enough the seductive, panther-purring bassline, cooing big-haired women and rippling rototoms of ‘Hypnogogisco’ beckons us back to the middle of the floor and the chick with the biggest hair asks ‘What’s Your Body Doing Tonight’, only it comes out all syrupy slow and you realise you shouldn’t have necked that pint of GHB.
Horrid Red – Silent Party [SAB047]
Edmund Xavier’s dark minimal wave project Horrid Red new EP on Soft Abuse. “Silent Party” features the group’s signature style of combining gloomy creepiness with an overall very danceable rhythm pattern, adding up to strangely irresistible party tunes, new wave & post-punk.

Stingray313 – Misinformation Campaign [TRUST020]
‘Misinformation Campaign’ is Sherard Ingram’s third EP for TRUST. Sherard Ingram contrasts his lightning-fast electro-inspired rhythms with lush synth melodies and glistening arpeggios, on occasion more menacing and dystopian moods gain the upper hand.
Container – LP [SP007]
Container is a recent moniker of Nashville, Tennessee resident Ren Schofield. The sounds on this release are a thick stew congealing new ideas and naive experiments, abstract and minimal in nature with time stopping tendencies. This music, by being so unruly and defiant of any kind of trend, has created a fresh and wierd fusion.
Kenny Hanlon – Storm Approaching Mix
Model Man – Forever Strangers [BAP001]
Model Man is the nom de plume of the diverse Dutch man DJ Overdose. ‘Forever Strangers’ is the second Model Man release with dark dense electro pop, sinister and playful on the new Bordello A Parigi imprint. DJ Overdose brings you pain and sorrow in this melancholic journey to a rainy Parisian whore-house. Don’t expect any joy, just go through the motions and find yourself en route to a deserted subway station in the 13th arrondisement.
Neud Photo – Open-air Cinema [PYLON019]
Pylon Records presents an essential 6 track LP from New York via Detroit minimal wave producer Neud Photo, who takes the kraut of Kraftwerk, the sublime groove of early New Order, and the funk of Liquid Liquid to create vintage electronic masterpieces.
