https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS430126-01A-MED.jpg

Romanian producer Cosmin TRG release his debut artist album, Simulat, on Fifty Weapons. Made up of 12 new tracks, each has been exclusively produced for the album whilst CD-only track ‘Fizic’ is the lead single, as it was already released in June. There are tracks which will work both on and off the dancefloor, but it’s the way they’re threaded together and make for one cohesive and coherent statement overall that stands them apart. Taking appropriate detours into deeper pockets; areas of warm analogue ambiance and abstract alien sounds, there are traces of everything that has gotten Cosmin to this point so far, all re-visioned with an ever shifting focus. Once again confirming Cosmin to be a producer in constant experimental flux, Simulat speaks loudly of an essential talent.

Arab League – Le coq [UR001]

ARAB LEAGUE - Le Coq (Front Cover)

The first release on the new Swedish label, Universal Rejection. The label is the collective effort of a closed circle of friends sharing the vision of a parallel universe trough raw, down to the core electronic dancemusic. With its corroded, live recorded sound and relentless machinedrum, “Le Coq” is a trip to the shadowy, not to say drunk side of dance music. The flip side “Hollywood Goblin” evokes the linear pulse of early body music, envelope-pushing electronic wizardry with a dark edge stripped down to a bare minimum.

“I A Syrian Tongue” is Karl O’Connor’s first solo EP as Regis in ten years. Across these three tracks, Regis showcases a sound that delivers the industrial intensity of his vintage Downwards work, the elegance and swing of his Sandwell District contributions, and a seemingly new ingredient: something powerfully, irreducibly Blackest Ever Black.

EXIUM - The Unexpected (Front Cover)

Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP. But don’t let the title fool you because, as is often the case with Boris Bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on Delsin.

Jeff Mills – 2087 [AXCD043]

https://i0.wp.com/imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS429044-01A-MED.jpg

Detroit heavyweight Jeff Mills has always been one of techno’s visionaries, prone to translating great concepts into near-cinematic soundscapes. Given techno’s roots, it’s no surprise that many of these concepts have been inspired by science fiction, and in particular obscure sci-fi films. Inspired by Franklin Adreon’s 1966 film Cyborg 2087, “2087” offers a dark and uneasy but at times brilliant mix of intense dancefloor techno, creepy electronica, woozy ambience and clunking IDM – all designed to mirror the cloying futurist horror of the original film.
