Tin Man – Underdog EP Part 1 [POM033]
After delivering Absurd Recordings with its first Acid Test in 2011, Tin Man lines up some more acid for Pomelo. For DJs in search of drum track acid techno, “UR”, is a good start. Taking a break from acid, but remaining on the drum trax tip, “Stay Down”, is a brooding and synthy production that keeps itself from straying to close to the red – a perfect DJ tool for more reasons than just functionality.

Samuli Kemppi – Parallax Of One Second EP [MRECLTD017]
‘Parallax Of One Second EP’ is Samuli Kemppi’s third outing on M_Rec Ltd, after the full ‘Cyclic Model EP’ and remix inclusion on Ben Gibson’s ‘More Than Milk’, and sees the Fin plundering the astronomic theme once again with stellar sci-fi precision. On the A-side: “Extragalactic” opens with swirling technoid vistas, on a wonky robo-dance floor in a future imaged long ago. Warbling chimes and tweeting astro-creatures continue to plague “Astrometric Precision”, bleating at one another on our serene shuttle through the cosmos. The B-side then takes a decided plunge with tougher piston sounds and grittier textures on “More Than Parsec” as our journey becomes more wild-eyed, concluding in the keyed radio-distress signals and itchy hats of “Less Than Planck”. I guess we’re never getting home wherever that may be, but this new universe isn’t so bad after all.
DJ Hyperactive – 25 Hours [DROID017]
Droid Recordings presents a new 12″ from DJ Hyperactive, whose jacking Chicago sound has evolved over the years into a deeper sound that maintains his signature infectious drive. On “25 Hours,” an undulating, bassy synth line builds into the machine-voiced partier’s dream of “25 hours in a day,” before the track takes off with neck-breaking snare and clap combos and proceeds to rebuild. Raíz pulls the track from the depths to deliver something more brash and energetic. There’s more at play here, with the 3-note riff tweaked throug the track’s duration, and the words “25” looped through a series of insistent, smashing snares. In the final mix, newcomer Markus Sucket follows his recent remixes of Xhin and Pfirter with an unexpected and idiosyncratic interpretation. Tonal elements are drawn into the lower registers, while the vocal sample slithers around the mix. The syncopated elements of the original surface with in an alternative mode, dark and driving.
Rødhåd – Spomeniks EP [TOKEN030]
Dax J – Dreamscape EP [MONNOM001]
The 1st release from London label Monnom Black is a vinyl only affair that sees 3 original tracks from EarToGround’s Dax J with a remix from UK techno legend Mark Broom. A set of peak time weapons. Planet X, tough driving beats and hard soundscapes that lead into soothing echo chords. Mark Brooms remix keeps it in the same vein, peak time, hard hitting drums and driving bass in typical Broom fashion. The traditional sound of Alpha Rhythm strips things back with huge subs and eerie piano riffs, big kicks drums and gentle chords. The amen infused Dreamscape finishes off the EP with its old school rave vibes.
A Vision Of Love – Lessons In Hate (Part One) [AVN010]
Avian010 sees the first installment in a series of SM techno tools from London based archivist and profligate ‘A Vision Of Love’. Fusing analogue gear and a passion for classic, second wave Detroit music, with found sounds and degraded film & radio excerpts, the series leans on contemporary culture as much as the current techno landscape.
R-A-G – Vacuum [MOSDEEP016]
R-A-G is MOS boss Aroy Dee in partnership with Marco Spaventi and G String. Together they make frayed and analogue house music that joins the dots between 80s Chicago and the modern day. This new EP does just that once more, opening with the dense sci-fi stomper that is Vacuum. With coarse synths and plenty of sonic scuzz it fires your every synapse. On the flip side, Plenum (Outer Mix) is a beat less ambient affair with lost synths ringing out in vast chambers of fine grain sound, before the Inner Mix slowly courses on raw kick drums. Whole ecosystems of synths spiral around like galaxies in the distance to make for truly filmic deep house listening.
Innerspace Halflife – 1000 Light Years Of Acid [SKUDGEWHITE003]
Hailing from Chicago, the latest entry from our new Skudge White series sees Innerspace Halflife venture into some of house and techno’s eeriest realms. When Ike Release and Hakim Murphy joined forces sometime last year, we immediately thought that their very own cosmic take on jackin’ house would be a perfect fit for our label, and boy did they deliver! We won’t bore you with any further description of those four tracks, but we sincerely hope you’ll enjoy the modernity and lushness of what the boys’ve been cooking us!

After the Ep The Exaltics meets Elec P.1 early 2013, Solar One Music is happy to announce his fantastic Longplayer “Black Pukee”. 12 tracks on the edge of early Dark Jackin Acid, Chicago House and uncompromising Underground Techno and you can clearly hear his passion for the purest 303 Sound.
Chicago Skyway / Isoke – #@&*! [EGC4018]
Eargasmic brings this split 12″ with four solid raw house cuts. On the A-side Chicago Skyway brings two heart pounding tracks with “I don’t give a f*ck” and “Run Coward”. The flipside introduces Isoke to the game with the Relief sounding, Chicago “Rough Sh*t” and the heady bass heavy joint “Haunted”.
