Credit 00 – So High EP [CHIWAX024]
Rawax welcomes Alexander Dorn aka Credit 00 to the Rawax Family. Back in the days at the west-Saxon highlands there was a missile, which marked the starting point. When Credit 00 saw the legendary rocket rise on Tetris’ final screen, it was the first time he became aware of electronic music at all. Since then it actually hasn’t changed that much. He keeps pushing that buttons that belong to the impressive pool of music machines towered up next to his bed. Jacking box/club tracks by the bad boy from Dresden.
Supreems – Us Together [LT028]
Firing straight outta the heart of Belgium comes a long awaited batch of euphoric, internet-curdled club missiles from Supreems. Having been sat marinating on Youtube channels and Soundcloud streams alike for a good 24 months, al three tracks have taken on even more pertinence and depth, coming at the end of a fractured and startled year of world events.
VA – RDY #35 (Ron Hardy Edits) [RDY035]
Ron Hardy housed-up disco biz. Chaplin Band – Il veliero, Willie colon – She Don’t Know I Am Alive (dub two), Tony Cook & The Party People – On The Floor (underground mix). All the real djs were looking for those for years. Grab it before it’s sold out, we have very few copies. A must have.
Paladin – Unknown Zones [MUSICA002]
Paladin brings us the contemporary sound of visionary uk synth-prog music via Berlin-based label Per Musica Ad Astra on his album ‘Unknown Zones’. Epic tracks dominate the record in true 1970s tradition, containing suites of music that elevate, transcend and transport the listener in his mind’s eye to faraway exotic realms of musical dreamscapes hitherto unimagined.
The Violet Hour – Utraviolet [CDA015]
The Violet Hour is the exclusive project of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara and Michael Greene aka Fort Romeau, for Berlin imprint Cocktail d’Amore Music. One Morning In The Future takes over the A side. A total dancefloor pleaser. Treating us with Chicago house-inspired drums and that kind of cosmic pads that make any seasoned raver jump and kiss a nearby stranger. The intensity never stops growing – with new melodic strings appearing unexpectedly, projecting the track to the rings of Saturn. An involving italo-classic bassline characterizes Ultraviolet, together with an explosive layering of synthy melodies. The B2 Prisoner Of Love is a seductive dialogue between synthesizers and classic piano, resulting in a comforting, romantic soundtrack for any space travels. These two tracks illuminate feelings of looking at a violet sky, but with different attitudes: the first pushes into the unknown looking for a happy ending, while the second is nostalgic and tender.
Playgroup – Previously Unreleased Bonus EP [YW00X]
Featuring 6 bonus tracks not available as part of the initial nine EP’s. ‘Dirt Biter’ is a return to the source raw hip hop instrumental, ‘Don’t Stop Dub’ a wild electro-funk workout complete with a demented electric guitar solo, ‘C’mon C’mon’ a decadent slice of sleeping bag style disco dub, ‘No Lube’ a heavyweight hi-nrg sleazy stormer, ‘Perc up’ a sampledelic hedonistic house bomb and Do It! a weirdo post-punk electro jam.
BXP – Acapulco [RA-1-002]
BXP sterling debut on RA-1: two warped deep tracks coupled by two heavy duty remixes by D’Marc Cantu on the flip.
VA – The Second Annual Fundraiser: War Child [CKNOW2]
Craigie Knowes returns with ‘The Second Annual Fundraiser: War Child’ this December. Similar to its predecessor ‘The Second Annual Fundraiser: War Child’ will donate all profits to War Child International and has recruited another all-star cast to treat us to a sublime collection of cuts. Featuring the likes of Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Neville Watson and Andy Hart this compilation is set to be another sell-out success. Rather than drown you in copy we’ll let the tracks do the rest of the talking.
Tapirus / D-56M – The Art Of Seeing [PIV003]
Poverty is violence return once more deliberately shaking up the place and blurring the house / techno divide, label owners Tapirus aka Rotterdams underground techno hero Charlton Ravenberg and Nick Dunton of legendary techno label Surface and 65D Mavericks fame serve up a split EP.
DJ Octopus – Hong Kong EP [HOTSHIT029]
DJ Loser – DJ Loser [BLIQ015]
DJ Loser kicks off his vinyl debut with “Your eyes were telling me that you really cared”, a soothing and sun-bleached late night downbeat driver, which gives way to A2’s “Untitled” menacing and jacking tone that is sure to bang the dingiest of darkrooms. B1’s “I’ve got dis (but I can’t do it)” is a bona fide slammer made to liquify whatever is left of one’s mind way past the midnight hour, while Seixlack’s rendition of the latter brings more paranoid and percussive-led assaults to the table.
DJ Plant Texture / DJ Shark – Split EP [UTTU069]
DJ Plant Texture & Gnork AKA DJ Shark team up for this split 12 on UTTU.. rough break-beat-houz & jungle pressure for the headz.
Bill Converse – 7 Of 9 And Ahead [TRU002]
Texas Recordings Underground made its mark this Spring with the well-received techno/electro Cyber_Tex EP that featured electro wizard Cygnus and E.R.P. aka Gerard Hanson. Not to rest on his laurels, TX Connect’s Gavin Guthrie is following that up with the 2nd release on the label by Austin’s man-of-the-moment Bill Converse. His debut on T.R.U. contains 2 deep excursions with 7 of 9 and Ahead, both tech house masterworks that mix elements of Chicago and Detroit with a Texas flair that keeps it definitively Bill Converse.
Andreas Gehm – Situations [DIZZY012]
These four beautifully deep old school analogue tracks combine ultimate acid with melancholic sounds which, on any occasion, sum it up to an outstanding piece of art.
Shamos – Games & Dreams [APRON028]
This is the second release from London producer/DJ and Apron Regular Shamos. “Games and Dreams” is the the follow on from his debut record “Road Works Part 1”, carrying the same rawness, but with a bit more wisdom.
