Big follow-up of Dolly Dubs 1 by Martyn. Both ‘Newspeak’ and ‘What is room 101’ are ecstatic contemporary house tracks making you remember once again what this music is all about. Pure bliss. ‘Oceania’ on the other hand goes deeep, very intense track with beautiful broken beats and mesmerizing melodies for the more adventurous dj
Remote presest a four track various artist EP including Haze N Adaze aka Lady Blacktronika, Kammerton, Perseus Traxx and Lakumer.
Munich’s excellent Permanent Vacations nudge towards a century of releases with a typically warm EP of huggable electronic grooves from the unpredictable Tevo Howard. Epic opener “Pump & Bounce” is the stand out cut. Built around a heady, intoxicating fusion of melancholic chords, tactile synths, stargazing melodies and seemingly cheap electronic sounds, it rises and falls for an impressive nine minutes. “You Have A Way With Words” spits and jumps with fuzzy machine rhythms and low-slung synths, while the hypnotic rhythms and crystalline arpeggios of “What Is Sound” are stunning in their emotion-rich simplicity.
Juju & Jordash present the second part of their ‘Unleash The Golem’ on Golf Channel Recordings, featuring two tracks ‘Coffin Train’ and ‘Coffin Train Getaway’.

Marcello Napoletano with the third release from his private collection. This is a 100 copies limited edition only available direct from the producer.
‘Walking The Streets’ is the second single to be taken from Mock & Toof’s latest acclaimed album ‘Temporary Happiness’. This remix 12″ offers a return to the dancefloor sound that M&T started out with and features the vocals of album collaborator Ghostape. Dutch synth wizard Legowelt twists the track into a 90s breakbeat rave mover with a squelchy acid gurgle to move things along. Rephlex’s DMX Krew takes on the B-side, dropping killer analogue acid house vibes along the way.
Dream Tennis was the second release for the Cocktail d’Amore imprint in the summer of 2011 from Steven Warwick better known under his alias Heatsick. remixes by Legowelt, Willie Burns, Young Marco and new comers Clima.
On a hot streak Danny Wolfers is knocking out Jewel after Jewel at the minute. Star Gazing is just as space-stradling as the title suggests, off-key, offworld discords colliding with breakbeats and detroitian atmospherics, intricate electronics, the burblings of a robot examining the earth of an alien world, before huge bass enters the party. Visions In My Mind is Legowelt’s take on the disco-tech vibe, Wayfaring Stranger completes the picture, a slamming acid jacker!
Excellent dreamy nineties Detroit/U.K. inspired techno/house tracks by Steve Murphy on Rawax.
Synth funk album by Atlanta Georgia artist Moon B released on Peoples Potential Unlimited. There’s a strong boogie presence across the 11 untitled tracks, but it doesn’t stop at your usual sleazy fare. There are also plaintive moments of refined introspection, and a constant display of production skills, albeit draped in the crust and charm of those archaic music-making means. If you’re a fan of the likes of Dam-Funk and can’t enough of that heady 80s funk flex, then this record should have you bumping and grinding for months to come.
Going Good Records with their debut vinyl release the “Entropic Feelings EP”, a dusted 6 track EP of analogue DIY House jams recorded deep in Atlanta GA by the mysterious Moon B, a bonafide hardware freak & $1 bin record digger par excellence.
Two veterans deliver 2 great modern house tracks that slowly build and keep the tension high. The a-side has a bit of the Seuno Latino/E2-E4 feel to it.. which is always a good thing.
ASC steps outside of his experimental D&B sound profile delivers two slabs of moody techno for Pushing Red. The opener “Proton ” is a driving number with some crunchy sub bass work underpinning some floaty synth work, while “Electron” an undulating, hypnotic tech-house cut, takes the foot off the gas slightly.
