Steffi & Dexter – Zatlap [KLAKSON025]
The original Klakson funkateers Steffi and Dexter return to true form with three punchy techno/electro cuts. “Zatlap” on the A Side is a lush nighttime driving track with an urgent bassline powering all through the song while spaced out strings develop. The B-side’s “Kopstoot” is a pure funk workout in the Detroit tradition while “De Fles” builds a stack of airy pads on top of a playful question and answer bass riff to maximum effectiveness.
Infektion – Gates Of Dawn [ARTS025]
Infektion is back on ARTS with the next level of hypnotism. The 4 cuts are crafted with surgical precision. The Art of Hypnotism at its finest.
Nubian Mindz – Pulsing Heart EP [BAR010]
London-born producer Colin Lindo aka Nubian Mindz is not your average predictable artist. Generally speaking, the music is deep and rich, yet very direct and club ready, but with plenty of those unpredictable moments which made us go crazy for these tracks in the first place.
Chris Carrier – Sound Carrier #9 [SC009Y]
Sound Carrier label steps back into the limelight to hit us with another fix of quality techno from monsieur Chris Carrier. The Parisian producer presents three new extraterrestrial cuts.

DJ Spider – The Final Revolution [THEMA046]
Continuing with force into our 10 year anniversary celebration comes the second 12′ swiftly after the first. With such a consistent stream of inspiring creativity flowing our direction we have no choice but to keep up the pace. Thema 46 was hatched from someone so deeply ingrained in the underground that he barely needs an introduction. DJ Spider has been a mainstay on the murkiest, most disorderly dance floors for years. His sound is characterized by disjointed elements lurching around in a off-kilter yet magnetic way that forces you to move in ways you didn’t know you could. From the hell scorched, pitch bent echoes of ‘The Final Revolution’ to the lo-fi groove antics of ‘Distress Signal’, DJ Spider proves once again that no one can do it as perfectly weird as he can.”
Conforce – Kernel Of Truth / Oasis [DSC012]
Deep Sound Channel welcomes back Boris Bunnik, this time under his Conforce moniker. Two contrasting tracks are the offering. Heavy thump introduces Kernal of Truth. Angular melodies are painted on glass as a complex composition unfurls under the strain of galvanized percussion. The aquatic “Oasis” occupies the flip. Notes gentle lap a shoreline of burbling bass and distant percussion. Echoes are submerged, folded in on themselves, as absorbing ambience envelops. Two wonderfully different sides to the Conforce sound.
Collector – Life After Olympic Gold [CDRTP047]
Newcastle, Australia’s Collector brings us a varied album for his Clan Destine debut. After a rad LP for Melbourne’s Drawing Heat and a tape for Night People. Icy synth lines and noisy textures, pounding beats and lots ov bass. Industrial techno at its finest.
L/F/D/M – Under The Eyes Of Augustus [CDRTP041]
L/F/D/M aka Richard Smith returns on Clan Destine for another release, an epic journey thru Techno, Electro, Noise, Acid and even Disco. 60 minutes ov madness, hold tight.

A collaboration between Dutch producer and New York Haunted label boss Drvg Cvlture and Melbourne based box banger DyLAB. A doomed lysergic techno attack ov thee highest calibre.
KLP – JBS – Commercial Sample [BORFT145]
Börft Records presents a collaboration between Luke Eargoggle & Villa Abo. That means Electro meets slammin techno & house as well as a little cutie in the end.
G-String – Seductive Games [PBD004]
G-String brings something new to the Broken Dreams pot. Stripped down, bare bones blackened machine music. Decoration is removed, the ornate purged. In their place sit burnt out remains. Chords are hollowed and scraped, rhythms smeared and smudged as loneliness is amplified. A stark and spartan statement of grey skies and dark eyes.
Juju & Jordash – What About Tuesday? [DKMNTL043]
Israeli hybrid house and techno masters Juju & Jordash return to Dekmantel Records with yet another outstanding release. Their relentless work ethos makes you wonder if these guys sleep at all. Maybe that’s what Tuesdays are for DKMNTL 043 is a three-tracker and a fine display of Gal Aner’s and Jordan Czamanski’s next-level, improv based way of painting records. ‘Monday Mellow’ is a dubbed out, twisted and subtly emerging house groover, while ‘Wednesday Something’ continues the journey with a dense electronic jazz-tinged stomper. ‘Thursday, Heavy.’ demonstrates their full range, combining eerie melodic synth excursions with a jagged bassline – an out of this world, destructive yet classy house bomb. As always their intergalactic excursions are superbly executed. Let’s give them some rest on those Tuesdays.

Lake Haze – Intergalactic Communicationz EP [CR1292]
Next up Creme Organization is a return by regular artist Lake Haze. Following his Natural Insight EP earlier in the year comes Intergalactic Communicationz, four more fresh tracks of acid, techno and electro that is brilliantly evocative. At The Gates ov Futron is a turbulent lack track with zipping acid and a cacophony of percussion that is visceral as well as cinematic. Drexciyan Aquarium is, as the name suggest, an aqueous electro track that slithers and slides through an expansive underwater world. Poseidon’s Dream then offers a more rugged electro groove that is backed by heavenly pads and a real sense of loss in the synths. Last of all, Intergalactic Communication closes out this far travelling and intergalactic EP with a sci-fi deep house track that is filled with light, 909s and a sense that the end of the world is coming.
