Johannes Albert & Monosoul – The Future Sound Of Limburg EP [FM12006]
Frank Music presents: The Future Sound of Limburg by Monosoul & Johannes Albert. “Whatever” is pushing prime time house, chords, higher strings and a nice acid line in the end. “Mornin Moanin” is more on a mellow tip, pads and a nice bass out of the beloved juno machine. For warmup or late nite use they offer “Jomo MF” which consists of some riot-as-well-as-rainy beatdown sweatness house.
Ka§par – Cruising Andromeda [4LUX1205]
Preceding a full length album on 4lux, Ka§par showcases his amazing talents on this second EP for 4lux. The Portuguese producer comes with some of the most interesting dance music around. Got Good Love is a tough Deep House groover that comes as both original and with a Nicholas remix. Cruising Andromeda is a futuristic techno tune for forward thinking deejay’s. On Hyphen Ka§par slows down the pace and tosses in some 707 action: a crazy ride with rough synths and spaced out effects.
Arttu – Set You Free [4LUX1204]
Arttu returns on 4lux and he returns on form with two new cuts. Summin Bout Drums is a dirty and sleazy house affair. The Finnish producer now residing in Berlin comes with two fat versions of his own while Basic Soul Unit provides for a frantic remix with a crazy acid vibe. Set You Free is a bumping track with hard hitting drums cut up vocals and harsh synth elements.

David Vunk & Ben La Desh – Turner / Deep Valley [MST021]
The new release on Moustache Recordings label is a collaboration between label owner David Vunk and fellow Rotterdam rogue, Ben La Desh who between them have combined to produce two tracks full of spaced out house, techno, electronic and disco feelings. First up, Turner drops a rich color palette of vibrant space disco prize strings. The creeping crescendo of synth-led brushstrokes paint a rich impressionistic glow interpersed with positive vocal samples drifting through like dutch boats in a gale. Next up Deep Valley takes off over the snow-capped mountain tops and towards the flowing river of deep techno drums. Eerie soaring strings and isolated vocal snaps conjure up images of cavernous depths of deep sea and space as we go deeper into the valley of the dolls. With releases coming on strong over the past few years La Desh continues his ascent into production adulthood on the 21st release on Moustache Recordings while Vunk’s typical high-class production values shine through this entire release. Further collaborations between this duo would be only gezellig.
Sha-Lor – I’m In Love [RHRSS006]
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
VA – L.I.E.S. presents American Noise Sampler [LIES017]
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.
VA – Aphotic Segments Part 2 [SIS019]
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 [MUSCLE001]
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.
VA – Reworks Vol. 1 [SHV009]
Tripmastaz, Orlando Voorn, Dan Curtin & Marcelus on the remix duties for the ninth release of the Sharivari label.
Obsolete Music Technology – Inflection Point [DOLLY011]
Chicago’s Steven Tang with four brand new tracks, with Tang’s unique trademark blend of raw jacking Chicago beats and Detroit-inspired atmospheres. One of the few contemporary techno artists that truly delivers music for both body and soul.
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]
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.
Xosar – Rush Hour Mix
The mysterious Xosar recorded a brand new zonked out mix to celebrate her “Nite Jam” release!
