Juju & Jordash – Down To The Roach EP [DKMNTL026]
“The longtime Dekmantel affiliated duo Juju & Jordash (Gal Aner, Jordan Czamanski) helped shape our club nights, festivals, label and other music endeavors to what they stand for today. In other words: without these jazz trained cats, there wouldn’t be a Dekmantel. It’s with great anticipation that we announce Dekmantel release #8 (!) from these utterly talented musicians. DKMNTL026 is a club friendly yet sophisticated four tracker that is as abstract as it is deep, and as elegant as it is effective. Raw, energetic stuff for your peak time bag!”

Encompassing much of the Merseysiders signature sound, ‘Blues for a Red Giant’ shimmers throughout with distorted percussion, otherworldly melodies, and driving basslines to create another masterful EP from an artist who continues to push the boundaries of house and techno.
Haunted Doorbell – Unconnected Thoughts On Jacking [COTF007]
Haunted Doorbell are Timothy J. Fairplay and Matilda Tristram. ‘Unconnected thoughts on jacking’ is four tracks of naive melodies, rough slamjack drums, and new age atmospheres. ‘Starclash’ kicks off side A, with its dramatic arpeggios and SID chip crashes, Techno to soundtrack the Saturday night laser show at the planetarium. Following is ‘A night of adventure’ with its eastern scales and washy broken chorus unit hiss. On side B we have ‘Beautiful Sheffield’ – an ode to electronic music’s (possibly) most important British city and the title track rounds of the EP – house music for listening to while looking out to sea.

Celestial Terrestrial – Death Metal Disco Club #076
Hardrock Striker – Supreme Striker I [WAR4]
The Skylax affiliated Warehouse Classics series has always taken an authentically old-fashioned approach to the humble re-edit, serving up chopped and looped versions inspired by the loose, drum-machine heavy reworks of original Chicago house masters such as Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles. This fourth volume, the first from label boss Hardrock Striker, continues in this vein. Amongst the four tracks you’ll find a slamming early house gem (the clean kick drums, metallic hits and chiming melodies of “Mano a Mano”), a brilliantly teasted and tweaked Ready for the World revision (“Shyla”, where the French producer builds the drums before dropping into the vocals), and what sounds like a Paul Weller/Jam/Style Council rework (the undulating Balearic funk of “Precious Thang”).
Khidja – Never See The Dunes [EES015]
The Romanian duo Khidja are again on (Emotional) Especial with some beautiful electronix with a bit of early disco, krautrock and balearic feel to it with some added Middle Eastern vibes.

Trevor Jackson – Format [FV113.16]
Trevor Jackson releases a collected triple LP edition via The Vinyl Factory featuring 13 tracks including an exclusive bonus cut not available on any of the initial releases. Curated from an archive of over 150 tracks Trevor had built up over the past 2 decades, the inspiration for Jackson’s music, has come from “the times and places where genres weren’t quite formed.” While his synth and beatbox workouts might touch on proto-house, on new wave, on Italo and techno, on ambient and psychedelia, they are at the same time none of these things. Musically, Format explores Jackson’s usual obsessions – industrial, new wave, EBM, electro, post-punk disco and techno, in particular – with great gusto.
Fabio Monesi – Parasol Dance [WLS011]
Wilson Records boss Fabio Monesi returns with a blistering seven track LP. ‘Parasol Dance’ embodies the musical headway and fruition Fabio experienced exploring different soundscapes and rhythms in his London based studio this last year. The crisp analogue cuts in the album are peppered with Monesi’s organic evolution from the New Jersey sound drawing inspiration from Jazz, Funk and even Disco, all the while never faltering on the end product of raw undulating grooves. In a sentence, in ‘Parasol Dance’ Fabio has dished up a vibrant collection of raw and robust cuts that keep you locked from start to finish and will be no doubt be finding a welcome home in record bags across the globe.
45 ACP – Change Of Tone [LIES061]
Known for his work on the Antinote label as DK, 45 ACP is the alias of Parisian producer Dangkhoa Chau. Having seen prior releases on Italian label, Dog in the Night Records and French label Odd Frequencies, 45 ACP has caught the attention of L.I.E.S. Records where we see him issuing his debut six track LP. Not straying too far from his prior works, we get a wide yet cohesive grouping of tracks throughout the record. Sounds ranging from the slo-mo cosmic chug of 7th Circle, to the percussive boogie leaning Ground to Ground or the Sakamoto-esque lush b-side opener Hidden Garden, 45 ACP delivers start to finish proving equally effective on the dancefloor or in your headphones.
New Jackson – Metroflex [MPR005]
Swinging, Relief-ish MPC house from New Jackson, with the Hieroglyphic Being beaming in on the B-side.
