Mental Model – Rational Emotive Machine EP [MNTLTRX102]
The Emotiv Rational Machine is in full effect and gives the unnecessary things no attention and focusing only on its own distinct goal, which is to make you dance. No fancy melody, which are distracting you from being one with the bass and the 4 to the floor. No distraction from overloaded ego spilled arrangements. Ganser Syndrom; A 808 and a handfull fx with a growling synth that sees no high frequencies, maybe a little bit here and there. Vitamin B12; We give you a boost! Your brain won’t be disappointed with fantasizing on what to do next on the floor. Prodromal; It’s a 909 groove and that’s it! It’s a conclusion of many circumstances that many love that sound of this machine. Obession; It’s an obession to go out at the weekend and move like freak on the floor in your favorite club
Legowelt – Midnite Relics DJ Mix
Xamiga – Oceania [MDIV008]
Legowelt & Xosar team up to deliver 3 tracks of deep aquatic techno and freaked out house jams for M Division Recordings. This 3 track super limited edition 10″ on blue vinyl starts with the title track “Oceania”. Breakbeats meets ethereal chants and hazy aquatic synths, like a lost AFX record from the early 90s. Next up, “Atlantis Force Code” – euphoric house chords submerged by a wet blanket of swirling pads. Lastly, one strictly for freaked-out late night dancefloors – “Xosheeba” – jacking beats, a tough bassline and a gnarled phantom vocal stabs.

Neville Watson – One Four Green [TNG004]
Neville Watson’s original ‘One Four Green’ is the obvious highlight, a wiggly bottomed but robust jacker with hands-on drum machine tweaks and lovely melodic developments working just the right side of proggy. Remixing, Deep Space Orchestra beam it into more ecstatic cosmic house zones and Perseus Traxx has his tracky way.
Florian Kupfer – Florian Kupfer [LIES014.5]
Debut release by new artist Florian Kupfer. On this four song 12 inch we’re taken through a wild journey of a man and the story of his machines. Very emotional and human feeling, these lovingly saturated tracks move through the worlds of techno and house in subtle, unassuming fashion though totally distinct in their own right as each song possesses its own personality regardless of the man/machine relation.
KMFH – The Boat Party [WO013K]
Wild Oats is proud to present the KMFH debut album The Boat Party. After a year of collaborative releases, Kyle Hall, under the alias KMFH, has produced a debut album; a fusion of original work, sample tracks, and raw edits. The Boat Party album artwork pokes fun at European summer boat parties and juxtaposes the destitute state of Detroit and its recent proneness to discarded luxury in financial crises. Mainly, the inability to leave and the sometimes pleasant isolation of a boat party is what the album exudes. The listener has a certain commitment to the material which definitely has its place on the dance floor. You can find tracks that have soulful, funky, and organic feels, while others have a more abstract, mechanical, and robotic sentiments. The Boat Party was carefully constructed which makes the album a cohesive mix of soulful etherealness and roughly raw sounds; KMFH’s cueing into the true aspects of Detroit.
R-Zone – R-Zone 01 [RZONE001]
R-Zone is a new label launched by Global Darkness. The sounds exhibited across each track are unique creations that combine brightly coloured synths, swirling pads and non-standard beats into captivating and kaleidoscopic soundscapes that constantly evolve from start to finish. A cosmic, intergalactical energy pervades each release, transporting you to a world far away from here.
Son Of Sound – Jacknifed [NJ004]
Son Of Sound is the current project of Henry Maldonado, a NYC house music legend. You can definitely hear hints and influences of his old work in these songs, but Maldonado adds layers of modern style and production values to keep it sounding fresh and not “retro” or played out. Its soulful and dancefloor driven, just how we like it.
Hard Ton – Food Of Love [TOYT007]

South West Seven – If You Want / Move Back [OTP016]
Northern Irish garage/house duo South West Seven (Ric McClelland and Sean Grieve) make a guest appearance for NYC’s On The Prowl, with remixes by Giorgio Luceri and Club Silencio. “If You Want” gets things moving with a deep house style layered with a big upfront bassline and super lush pads that are straight outta Detroit! Built to please big rooms in the early morning. A2 has Club Silencio showing his remix finesse by adding some organ key stabs in the “Gypsey Women” territory. Proper early 90’s house vibes but still maintaining a modern edge. “Move Back” shifts the mood toward a more disco feel with balaeric style guitars and laid back and groovey bassline. On the remix Luceri adds his music touch while keeping things driving with steady snare fills and old school drums.
Chris Burns – IYE / E-Mo Systems [NJ003]
This emotional two-track 12”on New Jersey Records showcases Chris Burns’ varied influences and strong songwriting abilities. I.Y.E., co-written and sung by Denise Henderson, is a peak-hour track that draws upon Burns’ passion for powerful, NY-inspired vocal house. Burns has created a tough, grooving backdrop that highlights Henderson’s incredible ability to juxtapose subdued and expressive vocal deliveries. “E-Mo Systems” takes a more melancholic approac. Swollen bass textures and ambient melodies are punctuated by a minor key chord progression that resolves into a sublime climax.

Clone Royal Oak with a release by Headless Ghost, a production alias of Ripperton delivering three shit hot tracks. Asking what the difference is between Ripperton and his Headless Ghost production he said ””while the headless ghost is doing stuff intuitive, i see what you did there”. Not sure if we completely understand, but the intuitive thing makes sense while listening to the tracks. Killer 3 track ep with a some sharp edged house music.
