Mr. Beatnick – Sun Goddess EP [DBA008]
Taking inspiration from classic rare groove Boogie and Detroit House, the dangerously underrated London tunesmith drops his most impressive 12″ to date. Mr. Beatnick delivers dusted Rhodes and warmest, Theo P-esque strings and bassline on ‘Sun Goddess’, beside the Kassem Mosse-gone-Balearic vibes of ‘Beneath The Reef’. Flipside he’s in a friskier mood with the tight Boogie-Tech shimmy of ‘Shifting Sands’, primed to work it from Panorama Bar to Plastic People, while ‘Savoir Faire’ tips out on classic-sounding Gallic deep disco vibe.
Wesley Matsell – Zones Within Zones [BARN009]
Studio Barnhus number nine is called Zones Within Zones – it’s an EP by Wesley Matsell and includes 4 tracks: The Unmaker (euphoric Soundhack-meets-Junior Boy’s Own rave smasher), Ultra Vivid Parse (noisy Chicago-on-‘roids stomper), Mind Vs. Mind (trippy-as-fuck tech house funkster) and Pyramideleven (gggnnnaaaaaahhh).
Shane Lineham – Do You Know Who You Are [LT009]
Local Talk continues to deliver the goods with a cracking new release via Irishman Shane Linehan, who gives us a real New Jersey styled house dub that really sounds amazing.

John McCain & The Cybernetic Chamber – Vol. 1 [FREE DOWNLOAD]
Free digital release on San Francisco’s Non Seq Records. It’s the first volume in the “John McCainn & The Cybernetic Chamber” series featuring two tracks. “Zsa” is a peak time acid-and-909 love-fest lacing together late 80’s Belgium New Beat with modern Berghain-friendly rhythm kits. “Shawty Rock” finds itself more comfortable on the 4am floor, with a broken kick driving rave breaks under an atmosphere of airy synths, reverb-laden piano and croons from The-Dream.

October – String Theory [SIMPLE1251]
Bristol based producer October will make his debut on Will Saul’s Simple imprint with an EP backed by two remixes from renowned analogue gear hoarder Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt.
Luca Ballerini & Rio Padice – Never Mess La Cricca EP [WAXJAM001]
Fun analog deep house tracks by Italian producers Luca Ballerini & Rio Padice, obviously inspired by early US house, but with a fresh and authentic signature which make them stand out, and just perfect for modern club abuse.
M>O>S – Lost Digits EP [DOLLY009]
Dolly’s first release in 2012 and immediately setting a high standard for the year to come! This time Aroy Dee under his M>O>S> disguise is delivering the deepness. Present as usual are his trademark vintage synths & drums, but this goes beyond the average retro Chicago stuff… skillfull on the machines while it’s very clear the music comes from deep within. Marcel Fengler on remix duty adds a little techno punch, which perfectly tops of this very fine release.
Midland – Placement EP [AUS1237]
Midland returns to Aus with ‘Placement EP’. Staying true to his roots, he delivers four tracks that contribute to the continuing conversation between techno, house, garage and beyond. With a strong focus on intricate detail, lush texture and glacial melody the EP is just as captivating on headphones as it is on the dance floor.
B-Tracks – Come Back [SUPPLY002]
Second ep of the B-tracks guys… cool 4 track ep with 4 versatile tracks ranging from a chord driven club house sound (Come Back) to a darker techno-ish approach (the Next Step & When The Time Comes) and a beautiful deeper athmospheric cut rooted in Detroit techno (Crisis).
Steve Moore – Panther Moderns EP [LIES010]
New ep from Steve Moore which hits hard straight from the get go, as the title track Panther Moderns sees Moore moving into bleaker, mid-tempo musical territories with this brutally haunting, sparse, yet, funk ridden cut. Beyond Tykens Rift is the light at the end of the tunnel with its melodic and uplifting techno/new age leanings while the b-side’s Ancient Shorelines I., which opens with heavy arpeggios and a plodding kick, creates desolate landscapes of still to be discovered planets as the song’s dramatic narrative unfolds.
Break SL – Desert Flight EP [UV009]
Break SL strikes back with a massive track called “Desert Flight” on the Uncanny Valley camp. Over the course of ten minutes the track unwinds as an analogue Slowhouse trip that is dominated by a gritty synth figure. With typical sophisticated Break SL drums, radio transmitted messages directly from the cockpit and a freaked out siren it’s a track that is not from this world. The flipside starts off in a more classical manner with the rumbling House of ‘Amorphed limits’. The track is distinguished by rapturous synths and gets spiced up through additional drum work by Break SL’s partner in crime Manuel Sander. ‘Beercase Song’ originates from collaboration with Dresden’s universal genius Max Rademann. His quirky keys and Break SL’s drum workshop create a dirty piece of Funk which rounds up an eclectic EP by a versatile producer.
