Super secret Bergen/Stavanger/Oslo/Haugesund/Berlin based collab label GLUEUNTZ is back with another release, after the very successful Q&A 12″ two years ago.

Heartplay – 002 [HP002]
Energetic and raw lo-fi organ electronics. A simple and mean builder, then revealing the beauty of a beast. Harsh kicks and high notes on a crisp distortion flatline – all performed and recorded straight to cassette tape in on take.
Haron – District Iron [BAKK006]
Haron comes home with his District Iron EP including some heavy remix work by Jeremiah R. This platter is loaded with low, an ace dance floor destroyer, yet smooth and playful. Sparks start flying and neurons start frying.
The Pilotwings – Une Nuit Au Boxboys [MMLP303]
New master piece by the two young guys from Lyon where the label is based. This time they’ve let all their great inspiration take over, to deliver a strong piece of Chicago oriented House with tribal and japanese influences, the 707 is never too far, and a sexy male voice brings you into the moist backroom of this club named ‘Boxboys’.
Borusiade – Jeopardy [COMEME031]
Miruna Boruzescu, DJ and producer from Bucharest, presents her first EP on Comeme. The film-score like house is filled with enormous drums and ever climbing synth arpeggios.
Benoit Gagnon & Massimiliano Pagliara – In Spirals [CORRESPONDANT040]
Opening track In Spirals is an unabashed ode to funked up baselines and sparkling Italo melodies. Agamous pulls us in to sensual acid territory by taking 808 beats and 303 beeps into unchartered sexy locales. Go South continues the sexed up and synthy motif, and throws some electricised jungle drumming into the mix, making this the most intense and darkest track on the EP. Don’t Push Me, begins its journey with a more grooving disco percussion line and then heaps on some Chicago pads, ultimately blossoming into a full blown hands-in-the-air synth-exercise.
VA – Sit On This [DB007]
Bastedos returns with more signature weirdo disco not disco (but disco) cut-up cuts. This time the painstaking editing comes from A.M., Last Waltz, and Bastedos themselves.
VA – Various III [030LP004]
The 030303 crew come with a brand new various artist package in a beautifully designed sleeve to celebrate their 10th anniversary. While not all featured artist are new to 030303, the label mainly sticks to what it does best: digging up exciting new names from the raving underground. The smooth electronic tracks on the comp hold the middle ground between acid, IDM, braindance, early 1990s 808 State-esque UK acid house and Detroit techno. Among the highlights are Echo 106’s eerie after hour acid jam ‘Phosphor’, ‘Damp Patch’ by Marco Bernardi which reminds us of classic Surgeon-style UK techno, Forma’s ‘Sailor” (reminiscent of Charanjit Singh’s ‘Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat’). Look no further if a versatile, subtle and beautiful acid compilation is what you’re after.
Keita Sano – 気持ち [TCISM002]
Keita Sano with four machine driven workouts for Turbocapitalism.
A1 Old System 4:19 A2 The Inspiration 5:26 B1 I’ve Got Dreams 4:49 B2 We The People 5:59
RA.504 Gunnar Haslam
Brian Harden – The World Peace EP [COLT002]
Originally released back in 2001 on Chicago’s finest Nite Life Collective, The World Peace is one of Brian Harden’s personal favourites among his many releases. Born in Chicago’s southside and back by popular demand, Harden’s back catalogue is full of gems, but it was after a series of coincidences that we decided to reissue two of the tracks on the original The World Peace EP, and then add a twist in the shape of an astounding remix by SIT, the duo formed by Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia.
Alienata @ Boiler Room (Berlin) 25.11.2015
Robert & Michael – Fottute003 [FTT003]

VA – RDY #26 (Ron Hardy Edits) [RDY026]

VA – Junta Especial [EES020]
Especial celebrates the upcoming release of it’s 2nd compilation mix CD to highlight the recent music of the label , with another Sampler 12” of unreleased tracks, remixes and versions for the heads, collectors and discerning.
NAD – Join The Fookin Party / Hold On Castro [DB008]
Bastedos returns hosting two disco objects lovingly versioned by Nad. One side features the vocal talents of a mystery man with low riding balls imploring those gathered to hear him to ‘join his party’…if you look at his backside, so to speak, you will head off down to sunny rainbow filled Castro for a happy sing along and dancing tune versioned from vaults of Moby Dick.
Cottam – Breaking Through The Pain Barrier [VER106]
Paul Cottam was diagnosed with Encephalomyelitis disseminata, or multiple sclerosis, just as his first records were released in 2009. The symptoms can come and go, one day you can feel OK and the next day a relapse can floor you. The last 2 or 3 years the relapses have become more frequent and aggressive. Both these tracks were written in the depths of a relapse; constant severe pain, couldn’t walk or even stand for long enough to play some records. He was housebound, and cabin fever was setting in. So he sat at his computer and let the way he felt influence the music. The A side ‘Breaking through the pain barrier’ is the soundtrack to a late night chemist run, with a deep brooding bass and a tension that builds like your mind working against the disease. The B side ‘Encephalomyelitis disseminata’ has warm bass and a lively percussion groove twinned with a killer acid line and mournful strings. These tracks helped Paul through the worst of times, kept his mind off the pain and focused on something, and thankfully something positive came out of it.
Trenton Chase – Digital Tsunami 092
Raw M.T. – Richard’s Revenge [LT018]
Raw M.T. on Lobster Theremin label with three thundering granite slabs of techno and house. The spirit of US house genres raises it’s head once again, fuelled by a raw, scorched-earth production aesthetic coming from the deepest lair of the Italian producer.
The Analog Roland Orchestra – Roden Crater Vision [ORN038]
A collection of tracks, skits and moods for James Turrell´s visionary Roden Crater project by The Analog Roland Orchestra.
