Type-303 – Enigmatic Dreams [BLOW24]

Type-303 makes his first appearance on Cold Blow with ‘Enigmatic Dreams’, a six-track 12″ that balances acid with the softer, more melodic end of early-’90s Italian house. ‘Enigmatic Dreams’ doesn’t sit still for long, offering acid one minute, Balearic drift the next, then straight into something that could’ve come off an early-90s house white label. The big story here is ‘Atlantic Dreams,’ a collaboration with Dr. Rhythm aka Mark Woollard, whose old material got a second life through a previous reissue. Turns out Woollard kept composing for music libraries long after those original records, and buried in that archive was something with the exact same warmth. Type-303 picked it up and ran with it, turning a decades-old idea into something new. The rest of the record features ‘Paradise’ and ‘Morning (Ambient Mix)’, which both drift toward that dreamy, sun-bleached Italian sound that’s perfect this time of year.

ManooZ – Time 4 Houze! EP [SC1253]

Now, four tracks combine like megatron for some hard hitting twelve-inch totality, sounding straight out the 80s with none other than Chi legend Robert Owens of Fingers, Inc. providing timeless mystique on the mic. Classic hardware, classic house hypnotism. Let the rhythm take control of your mind, body and soul, just make sure your system’s ready.

CRUV – CRUV2 [CRUV2]

Tom Carruthers is back with a second drop on the CRUV label. ‘Track 1’ has a subtle warmth and radiance to it that you might want to drop just as morning begins to break after a long session with your head down in the dark. ‘Track 2’ has a bouncy groove with synth rushes triggered left right and center and a lovely funk to it. There are darker, sleazier sounds on ‘Track 3’ and backlit, warming synth cuddles light up ‘Track 5’ before a more leggy 909 workout closes with the deep and classy, dubby tech of ‘Track 6.’ Timeless sounds that avoid trends in favor of lasting vibes.

Black Meteoric Star – Wet LP [DE-339]

‘Wet’ is the fifth full length album by Black Meteoric Star and the 10th release. Black Meteoric Star is a project Rayna started in 2006 when she was living in Berlin that brought together her life long love of dance music culture with spiritual themes, drag, and her formative experiences of S/M culture Black Meteoric Star has always had an avenger quality in Rayna’s life and creative work, and this iteration plays that role in response to the current political landscape. Wet celebrates the long standing shared history of electronic music and queer leather/SM culture and imagines a future where these two cultural expressions are re-connected.

Mystery Friend – Loco Buenos Aires

“We learn to live in chaos. It’s where our resilience is tested and we confront all the nuances of life. And what better place to experience it than Buenos Aires, a city where things happen that reflect this feeling at every moment. Through sound, I manage to express how my loved ones, my experiences, and this urban madness influence me.”
