Myles Serge / Whim-ee – Jomars Groove / You Like It D [NDM030]
Brilliant chicago / detroit house cuts on Night Drive Music. Myles Serge and Whim-ee joining forces for a raw and oldschool infected split EP. The icing on the cake are two remixes they did for each other.
Daniel Stefanik – In Days Of Old [KANN050815]
Next to the regular catalogue number, here comes a strictly limited 3LP handmade package including represses of all parts from Daniel’s “In Days Of Old” voyage. Kann locks the awesome project with a complete collection of all tracks from “#one – #nine” that teases out Daniel Stefanik’s many-faced shining talents in techno and house music.
Samanthas Vacation – Samanthas Vacation [LIES016.5]
Samantha Vacation appears with her first 12 inch release for L.I.E.S. This release is comprised of two full side tracks which explore a loose yet complex form of mutated beat driven music which again may or may not be directed at the dancefloor. Subtle hints of the bass music and the twisted remnants of Detroit techno are present in both tracks as they freely stutter and morph while the songs evolve.
John Daly – Move [1TRACK009]
One of John Daly’s finest works (Originally released in 2007) did get a little restyling and got a make over to a epic balearic neo disco house monster. Comes with Dub Version on the flip. Another stellar release on John’s own 1track label.
Ma Spaventi – Revolver EP [MXU001]
Ma Spaventi’s Revolver, Most Excellent Unlimited’s inaugural release, is something of a Swiss army knife for DJs planning to venture into the wilderness. There’s a melancholic, mid-tempo house number, “The Sick Tape Dealer,”that’s lit with a crystalline glow. There’s “Slowmo,” a loping openerthat suffuses an andante house groove in queasy Giallocore tones. “Revolver,” the record’s fastest cut, balances strapping snares andinsistent open hi-hats with dreamy chords; it sits on the fence between placid and acid, just the thing for tipping the night intofull gear. And the slow-motion tearjerker “La Valle Delle Lacrime”comes in two versions — one with a skeletal drum machine and a beatless edit that revels in the simplicity of his analog synths. Luxuriating in ringing fifths with just a hint of Theremin-likewarble, it’s an unusually sturdy example of ethereal ambient techno. On remix duties, the prolific Mark E delivers a deep, atmospheric, slow burner.
Credit 00 – Ice Cream [UV018]
On Uncanny Valley’s catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back Credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. After the ice cold “The Living Room Life EP” from 2012, his brand new record “Ice Cream” is easy to fall in love with. Packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. “Ice Cream” starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. With the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true Chicago-inspired dance floor banger. “Round n Round” hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. Life’s a dizzy affair. “East Of Nowhere” with THAT bass line-sound is Credit 00 to the core. And with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. The record ends with “Red Wine”, a slightly different electronic love song sung by Credit 00.

R-Zone – R-Zone 05 [RZONE005]
Here comes R-Zone 05, this time coming from a pair of established producers who work both solo and as a duo (and one of them runs a prominent German label). The first track is ‘Jungle Fever’, a slowed down, dub-culture tinged track of sampled loon bird calls, tooting melodies and raw metallic drums that churn deep down below. Its the sort of track that needs to be played in summer, ideally with a reefer on the go. ‘Down-E rave’ again calls on druggy references for its inspiration this time E’d-up dancefloors in the mid-nineties. Its a lazy beat with curious vocal stabs, prominent drum breaks and plenty of deft synth work that takes you up, up and away in style. The flip-side sees two versions of ‘nRg Zone’. The Happy Mix is a rinsed out and tripped out track of streaming melodies, more old school and rough drums and plenty of bright, pixelated melodies stabs as well as softer background pads. The Moody Mix operates much more down in the darkened doldrums. It seems to have heavy heart and sultry mood as the percussion churns on beneath golden streaming pads and like everything on the R-Zone series, is stuffed with plenty of very real atmosphere.
Joey Anderson – Come Behind The Tree [SYNCRO017]
Joey Anderson with wo psychedelic jacking techno/house jams on Syncrophone. “Ass Kicked” comes correct with some excellent drum patterns and a steady bassline to keep the jackin techno/house going. On the flip we have “Sunday Is Brunch”. If you’re into acid tracks, then this is the one for you.
Polysick – Witness [MRX025]
Cool new release with sick JTC acid remix on Minimal Rome Records! Polysick has the honour to have the 25th release of the label, with two tracks for the MRX-Patiendum Est series. From the mysterious hypnotic visions of Digital Native (Planet Mu) and the Proustian reverie of Daydream (AudioMER), Polysick moves towards an obscure and sinister dancefloor with a 12” that hosts on the B-side a whirling acid remix by JTC.
Drvg Cvltvre – Porn Wax Five [PW005]
Unknown – The Elite [ELITE001]
Beautiful Swimmers – Son [FT018]

Son is a true trip, an hour in the zone that sounds like everything in the duo’s record bags happening at once.
Nick Beringer – Afterhour Cuts Vol.1 [LAX134]
With Afterhour Cuts Vol.1, Berlin based producer Nick Beringer returns to Skylax Records after his First Floor EP appeared on the sub-label Wax Classic back in 2012. He brings six great house tracks of varying degrees of deepness and as the name of the EP suggests, all are designed for the afterhours.
