Zenker Brothers – Groove Podcast 34
Terekke – Terekke [LIESBLK007]
Terekke once again delivering low key yet powerful, haze inducing productions. On this record he moves through various worlds, sometimes uplifting, sometimes nodding out – maybe even entering into the darker ambient side of the spectrum.

VA – Terry Farley Presents Acid Thunder: More Definitive Acid & Deep House 1985-1991 [HURTXCD129]
Given the expansive nature of Terry Farley’s first celebration of early and classic house, 2013’s five-disc Acid Rain, you’d think he’d be running out of choices for this second, similarly epic selection. In fact, Acid Thunder is, if anything, a more pleasingly deep and in-depth collection. Whereas that first installment was heavy on relatively well-known classics, this follow-up digs deeper for inspiration. As a result, it’s packed with tracks that many house DJs simply won’t know, or have struggled to get hold of; not just stone cold classics such as Bobby Konders’ “Nervous Acid” or Hexx Complex’s “I Want You”, but genuinely overlooked material from the likes of Risque III, Peter Black and Jack James Rabbit. It’s something of a welcome history lesson, even for those with a good grasp of house music’s formative years.
Mike Ash – Return To Acid [SRTX001]
Super Rhythm Trax return to the original Acid House blueprint of the mid/late 80’s , updating it with fresh ideas yet maintaining the integrity and super atmosphere of those early and exciting times.
D’Marc Cantu – Zone 4 [SHK008]
“Zone 4 was the first project that I created as a whole idea, the creation of Zone 4 started around the time that the final track selection to A New World was taking shape. It sat for a number of years, shelved till the day that I found a label that would honor it the way I had envisioned”.
Mind Fair – C.E.R.E.M.O.N.Y [CHANNEL037]
The first part of another Golf channel double header from the insanely prolific and scarily on form combination of Dean Meredith & Ben Shenton. A side ‘C.E.R.E.M.O.N.Y’ has been dubbed ‘the barnyard stomp’ by split secs’ / sonns’ Travis Kirschbaum (aka TK Disco) – 11 minutes of bluesy peyote riot that features Derek Holt of 70’s black country legends The Climax Blues Band. B side ‘Hiding from my Shadow’ is ripe with the funk too, but takes us away from the fertile stench of the psychedelic session in the barn and instead channels Minneapolis via Stafford as P-funk squiggles give way to Mr. Meredith’s trademark chugging bass.
RFM – Natural Flavor [JOLLYJAMS016]
Funky Family – Funky Is On [EXIT0003]
Classic Italian Disco including Leo Mas & Fabrice Instrumental Dub and a Dj Rocca Vocal Edit.
Manuel Gonzales – Filth EP [WB015]
Wicked Bass label presents a new release by newly emergent Detroit talent Manuel Gonzales, aka MGUN. Opener ‘Mono Port’ is a sludgy, dirty track with scuzzy ambiance, grainy white noise and plenty of grit obscuring buried deep kick drums and raw synth patterns. Second track ‘Frosted Lakes’ is a just as knackered sounding bit of whacked out techno. Broken kick drums trudge below spiralling synths, static interference and the general imperfect buzz and hum of analogue gear and it builds into a loopy banger that will blow minds as well as speakers. Last is ‘Chip Implemented’, another dystopian bit of depraved sounding techno with groaning synths, hurried drums and plenty of stormy winds blowing across its face. This is hugely textured, darkly cerebral music that manages to be minimal in design yet maximal in impact from start to finish.
Brooks Mosher – Don’t Say Goodbye [DOLLY019]
Warmer than warm club/techno groovers by the man Brooks Mosher, delivering his third release on Dolly. 4 very strong cuts with exactly that dreamy & sensual feeling which might be the main reason why we like to dance & sweat in the dark so much… body to body with the eyes closed, far away from everyday trouble.
Baz Reznik – Les Yeux Orange #027
Stephen Lopkin – The Haggis Trap [MOSDEEP020]
Next up to join the MOS Deep cannon is Stephen Lopkin, who serves up four new cuts on his The Haggis Trap EP. Lopkin is still something of an emerging talent having only started releasing in the last couple of years. The Glasgow based producer operates in the worlds of house and techno with a unique futuristic perspective. Combining elements of all the techno greats from Juan Atkins to Derrick May, this is an EP that surely announces the arrival proper of a very real new talent.
Pagan Sector – Hermopolis Magna [KH001]
Hermopolis Magna is the first born of Amsterdam based Knekelhuis. Under the moniker Pagan Sector, two mysterious grandmasters (Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt and Cliff Lothar)of electronic music collaborated, resulting in this depraved love child.
Antoni Maiovvi – Psychoplasmics EP [COTF004]
Antoni Maiovvi joins the Crimes Of The Future family in a perfect match of Italo horror running out of the disco, leaving behind the gentle thud of dark techno in a dark Roman Alleyway. Junior Fairplay’s inaguaral remix takes us out of the darkness to a happy ending in sunnier climbs on a beach somehere in Portofino.
Mark Vandemaat – Death Metal Disco Club #057
R.B. – Dog In The Night 05 [DIN005]
Roughneck psycho-house from R.B. on his first outing for Dog in the Night. Three moody ultra saturated wild-ass tracks made for the adventurous club dj. Jack is in the eye of the beholder, can you dig it?
Dan White – Death Flutes [FP005]
Forbidden Planet goes from strength to strength with this 4 tracker by Dan White. Excellent house and techno workouts on a deeper tip.
