The Californian Vereker has a CCCP and a couple of the very best LIES, but this stomping, grisly, suspenseful, four-track assassination tops the lot. You get plenty more prep and purpose, and a load more killing.

Eshu – Chlore EP [ESHU006]
The ESHU label waste little time in matching their 2013 output, issuing a sixth 12″ that sees Roger Gerressen, Jocelyn Abell, Daniel Lekatompessy and Ivano Tetelepta working together under the titular banner across four tracks. Taking a particularly Millsian approach to proceedings, there’s a sense of focus demonstrated that hints the Eshu collective is only getting stronger. The mood varies too with the A Side split evenly between the stripped back and alien on “Cesium” and the creeping and hypnotic “Sulfur” whilst on the flip “Mercury” is one track you could imagine the likes of Dettmann or Rodhad pulling for. The title track closes out the EP on a more downbeat note, with crawling textures offering the minimal amount of forward momentum amidst a foggy coating of static.

Taras van de Voorde & David Vunk – Need You Tonight [MTECHS003]
The dark and cold winter above the north of Rotterdam was the inspiration for a new and exciting collaboration between best friends: Taras van de Voorde and David Vunk. This resulted in the top hit – Need you tonight – this A1 killer tune a la Aril Brikha’s Groove la Chord is a brilliant 2014 diamont techno house underground mainstage track. B1 is Need you tonight in the Alden Tyrell Remix… super dark building up power mono techno track… Berlin/London/Rotterdam style. B2 is made by the legendary ROD … a deep techno track with great groove perfect dj tool.

Hermez – My Love [TELE002]
No info on Hermez, but these tracks speak for themselves. Detroit bleeps getting tweaked with strings, basslines complemented by well placed high hats, percussion and claps. Timeless tracks on a beautiful EP.
Hakim Murphy – Freeform Terraforming EP [IIIR-II]
New EP by Hakim Murphy. ”Smog” is the initial signal to land – beginning with cascading bleeps and sonars before a buzzing sawtooth assumes first contact. Proceeding to encapsulate all Earthlings with its electromagnetic hum – it’s no wonder people are rushing to the top of apartment blocks to try and bootleg this shit on their phones. ”Vortex” is next, taking us right through the wormhole into the domain of machine-elves and humongous multi-headed entities, all eager to show us the porthole to paradise. A blissful bubble of ricocheting snares, delectable synth rubs and celestial goodness awaits. ”Spanking Tables” concludes the set and sees Hakim display his amazing control of percussion and unusual sounds; comfortably easing us in with our new galactic friends. Synthetic toms, drifting pads and sharp hats all converging on our bodies.
DJ Spider – Nemesis Rising [PBR035]
Here is the full length LP from DJ Spider. It is a mix of deep house, deep down tempo beats and some darker house tracks. This record will take you on a journey from beginning to end, just like a full length should. Every piece has it’s place in the selection & much thought has been put behind them with meaning & intent to invoke higher listening. Spider has worked with some great musicians over the years & added some of their pieces to the mix as well. Sly Scott threw down some amazing Saxophone parts on The opening track “Prison Planet” & he also did some playing on the fifth track “Crack Factory”. The one & only Dub Poet, Infinity gave a dope voice piece to Spider for the eighth track “S O S” & Boyd Jarvis lends a gorgeous keyboard solo on the final cut, “Flee To Agartha”

The White Man & The Arab – Misanthropy EP [WMA002]
The White Man & The Arab BLM & Soho decide to revisit the partnership that gave us Future Moves EP. The resulting second EP Misanthropy while roughly following the same mood of their first release, shows the two producers becoming more attuned to each others strengths and sounding more and more like one well-oiled unit. Clocking in at around 20 minute mark, were treated to three cuts of pure deep bliss, each with its own distinct flavour.
