Following the Dream 2 Science release on the Rush Hour Reissue series earlier this year, another NYC garage classic by Ben Cenac, also known for his Newcleus outfit, gets a much deserved reissue. Unlike Dream 2 Science, which remained an obscure record at the time, Sha-Lor became an international club hit and a Summer Of Love staple song. The timeless feel of this innocent, heartfelt vocal song sounds as fresh as it did back then and is sure to fill people’s hearts with joy again. This reissue features the Caught Up Version, which was the most popular mix from the origin

Three track vinyl sampler EP from the upcoming L.I.E.S. “American Noise” 2xcd compilation. This sampler expands upon three completely styles reflective of the diverse L.I.E.S. catalog to date. Torn Hawk pulverizing the entire a-side with his most unclassifiable material to date, Marcos Cabral returning to the label with a sinister 110 BPM techno track, and Delroy Edwards doing a blown-out Barney’s workout.

MITCHELL, Chris/TONY OLLIVIERRA/PATRICE SCOTT - The Aphotic Segments Part Two

Sistrum moves further into the exploration of modern electronic music with the 2nd installment of the Aphotic Segments series. Chris Mitchell opens the EP with a driving, minimal builder- “Brisk City.” Tony Ollivierra is warmly welcomed to Sistrum for this project and “Prophetic Light” lives up to everything we had hoped to hear from him. Patrice Scott commandeers the B-side with “M.F.D.T” – and for good reason – this tune needs a full-side vinyl cut to transmit the hefty, growling bassline on display. Listeners are further treated to an intergalactic journey of swirling soundscapes and mind-tingling synth pulsations.

RIVIERA - SR11 EP (Front Cover)

Muscle Records is a label for upfront dirty dance music. All tracks are conceived naturally and recorded on tape, so an elemental and honest approach is required to fully dive into Muscle Records sounds. Riviera is a band formed by a bunch of young talented gritty analogue junkies, most of which has already released on a couple of disrespected labels. The band first jams were recorded on parching tape in a sultry warehoue close to the Brenta’s muddy banks with a noisy dockyard of transistors delights.

Low Jack – Slow Dance EP [GTCM012]

Get The Curse Music is back for a very special debut release by Parisian artist Low Jack. At the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, Low Jack’s clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion. In addition to the three outstanding originals, this release contains Gerd’s very first remix as Geeeman.

Disco Nihilist – Moving Forward [RBDN002]

The one and only Disco Nihilist is ‘Moving Forward”. Mike Taylor’s second EP for Running Back is turning the curve ball of the first into a wild pitch (if Baseball metaphors are your thing). 4 tracks across the Disco Nihilist spectrum: The rare cheerfulness of ‘House Rent Boogie’ is backed up with a classic and no-nonsense RZ-1 beat symphony that is aptly titled ‘Beatdown Drums”, while the flip presents the masked mania of ‘Film Grain’ and some grumpy grittiness with ‘Operator Select”.

Marcel Fengler – Frantic EP [OSTGUTTO060]

October 2, 2012December 12, 2025 hipodromehouse, marcel fengler, ostgut ton, technoLeave a comment

Marcel Fengler returns with a solo EP for Ostgut Ton. Consistently providing quality over quantity this long awaited new 12“ surprises yet again as Fengler develops his funkier side further for the label. The A-side track „Frantic“ then immediately brings the essence of peaktime energy to the point. Bathing in melodic synth stabs, it mixes with wide open fields of euphoria. Instantly moving and memorable, it’s a track that crosses borders and unites different territories of techno and house. „6 In A Row“, the first track on the B-Side, tries to deceive with a simple & mellow arrangement but soon enough grabs the listener from behind with it’s cleverly built architechture that mounts with subtle waves to an addictive groove, a lesson in how to use a less-is-more approach to maximum effect. As if this wasn’t convincing enough the Berghain Resident now ventures further into spaced out dub structures & melodies and immerses the listener into sheer silk with the smooth „Mosaique“, a side of Marcel that he has only hinted at before but a pleasure to hear it fully realized on this track.

BICEP - Vision Of Love

After five years of running the highly popular and eclectic music blog “Feel My Bicep”, Bicep started they own label. With the aim of releasing fun and varied music, the only condition the boys gave themselves was to maintain full creative control to take the the label in whichever direction they desired. Their first release follows on a similar vein to previous chart-topping single stripper, deeply inspired by their love of the early US house scene but with a modern twist.
