Also included an unreleased extended remix by Glenn Underground of "Termino Mi Amor", a now classic song released by Ricardo on Vega Records from a few years back

Marcel Fengler - Thwack (remixes) [Mote Envolver]


A1 - Thwack (Norman Nodge remix)


A2 - Thwack (PAS remix)


B - Thwack (Mike Parker remix)



Marcel Fengler doesn't mess around, and neither does he with his productions. Released in May last year, his "Thwack EP" showcased the kind of pulsing, throbbing techno sound that few other producers can equal in intensity. It was a perfect match for Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver imprint that continues a fresh and consistent release schedule of heavy, driving techno records. Whether marked by their distinctive "Berghain sound", their relentless intensity, or simply their affinity for the dance floor, Mote-Evolver's releases remain unmatched for their quality.
Now, having gathered together some of the most seasoned techno producers, Mote-Evolver presents three remixes of Marcel Fengler's "Thwack."

A2 - Isolateur


B1 - Treibholz


B2 - Picon



Fachwerk delivers one after another twelve that stands out!. Straight no nonsense tracks from Mike Dehnert who is the talk of the town after his heavy Delsin album released earlier this year. Clean and powerful produced tracks that each has its own character making this one of the most versatile and intimate releases Mike Dehnert ever produced.

Recondite - Plangent #002

A1 - Haptic


B1 - Backbone


B2 - Yield



After the well recieved Plangent 01 release Recondite continues with further explorations of the sonic scenerie. The three tracker gets off with a lovely post Basic Channel, Dub Techno interpretation of a techno track for the warmer days. The B side does a great job in fusing soft beats and low key melodies with raw structure,drive and pressure. Plangent records slowly becomes the face for the otherside of Berlin techno together with a label such as Giegling. Gritty deep techno, with some influences from Dubstep here and there... slowly moving away from the much abused Detroit reference.

The Echelon Plan - Black Dots In An Ocean Of White [Inchoate]


A1 - Live Forever



A2 - Pulsations



B1 - Reunions (Delta Funktionen mix)



B2 - Reunions




Surface Records launches its sister label – Inchoate. Inchoate has been created with the intention of releasing the purist house sounds to be found, without boundaries and limitations. Expect the unexpected, forthcoming releases have some weird and wonderful guests, with artists from London, Detroit via Paris and Berlin. The first release kicks off with great gusto, and sees the mysterious Echelon Plan drop 3 tracks of pure deepness. Couple this with a rather special guest remixer, in the form of Delsin wonder kid Delta Funktionen and you have an extremely exciting prospect indeed !

Redshape - Son Of A...[Present]


A - Son Of A...



B - Kracken's Game




Hot on the heels of the brilliant 'In Trust We Space' EP, Redshape delivers two more top quality techno tracks on his own label Present. 'Son Of A...' brings back the freestyle craziness of the masked one, which we know of tracks like 'Dog Day'. Going acid in the Redshape-way! 'Kracken's Game' is more of a synthy slow builder - setting a densed atmosphere.

Laurel Halo - Constant Index (Actress Violet Remix)

Nuel - Aquaplano Ltd 03

A1 - Untilted


A2 - Untilted


B1 - Untilted


B2 - Untilted



Donato Dozzy's buddy Nuel is back at the helm for the third Aquaplano Ltd twelve which holds four cuts of intergalactic electro leaning techno futurism.

Eduardo De La Calle - The Concept Sampler [Analogue Solutions]


A1 - The Concept Sampler


A2 - Jonson Sampler


B1 - Food & Revolutionary Sampler



More explorations of the murky depths of techno in its rawest form from the Analogue Solutions camp, this time with the brilliantly monikered Eduardo De La Calle at the helm. Pressed up on red marble vinyl, the grubby bass of "Jonson Sampler" marginally outdoes the rubbery synth work of "The Concept Sampler" in the 'how to impress Juno' stakes. Flip over for the subtly epic "Food & Revolutionary Sampler" which is doused in swathes of Millsian techno paranoia.

Anthony Shake Shakir - Piper [Frictional Recordings]


A1 - Piper


B1 - So Delivered


B2 - Millenium Blues



Should you ever be quizzed as to why exactly Mr Shakir prefers to called "Shake", direct that inquisitive soul to the A Side of the Detroit hero's latest release. Shaking is one way to describe the sensation that runs through "Piper" as drums rattle with a roughness of texture unparalleled to these ears. Faint strains of calypso melodies permeate throughout amidst a sea of huge sounding sub bass which makes for one of the most militantly thrilling techno tracks we've heard in a long, long time! Changing tact, Shakir lays two heaving slabs of Motor City beatdown across the B Side with "So Delivered" alternating between slickly chopped drums and searing pads and Eastern wood block rhythms, whilst "Millenium Blues" provides a more solemn, downtrodden excursion through rusted metallic head nod material.

John Heckle - Extrovert/Introvert [Tabernacle Records]


A1 - r136


A2 - My Only Hope


B1 - The Extrovert/Introvert


B2 - Where Are You Now?



John Heckle featured on our first release and returns with an E.P. that demonstrates why he’s regarded by many as one of the most promising producers around. His music displays an impeccable understanding of classic house and techno, whilst maintaining a freedom and originality.

DJ Deep - Deeply Rooted Mix


Sigha - The Politics Of Dying [Our Circula Sound]


A1 - The Politics Of Dying


A2 - Over The Edge (Shifted remix)


B - The Politics Of Dying (James Ruskin remix)



Sigha wastes no time in treating us to more of his pressurised, crunchy techno - swiftly following that crucial Hotflush release with the second drop on his own imprint Our Circula Sound. If heads were impressed when Dettmann was enticed into providing a remix for the last twelve then those same heads will be further dazzled with the accompanying remixes cast for "The Politics Of Dying", with both James Ruskin and Shifted onboard. This shouldn't shift the spotlight away from Sigha however as the original title track is filled with the sort of metallic textures and tightly wound rhythms that are perfectly suited for the dark spaces. The mysterious Shifted takes on "Over The Edge" and delivers a darkly brooding techno odyssey with controlled percussion rattles and dubby nether regions. Ruskin hogs the B Side with an elongated version of the title track delving deep into the dystopian ether with menacing results.

San Laurentino - Traces [Mathematics]


A1 - Magnetic Steps


A2 - Traces (feat Madmatt)


B1 - The Olympians


B2 - Lazy Angels



New signing to the Mathematics label, San Laurentino brings this EP after his great release on the Electric Minds imprint. “Magnetic Steps” is a slow electronic journey while the title track flies farther into space. “The Olympians” and “Lazy Aangels” on the flip continue the cosmic feel.

Morphology - Urania's Mirror Remixes [Zyntax Motorcity]


A1 - Absence Of Matter (Hardfloor remix)


A2 - Hydrus Constellation" (Headnoaks remix)


B1 - Bit Space (Legowelt remix)


B2 - Origins Of Life (Arne Weinberg remix)



Those electro nuts who indulged in Urania's Mirror , the excellent debut set from Finnish analogue experts Morphology, might just elicit a shriek of excitement at this twelve inch shaped addendum from Zyntax Motorcity given who the Detroit label have enlisted on remix duties! Hardfloor, Legowelt, Arne Weinberg and Headnoaks each tackle tracks from the album on this classy looking (and decidedly weighty) white twelve inch with the legendary German 303 manipulators opening proceedings with a taut acid refix of "Absence Of Matter" which quickly settles into a Martian groove of multiple acid ripples. It's the accompanying remix of "Hydrus Constellation" from compatriot Headnoaks that impresses more, delivering a more expansive acid soundscape that cascades with metallic fractals of electro rhythms across a bed of almost Miami centric bass. From these experimental embers, Legowelt swerves it all back towards the floor with an elegantly poised take on "BIT-Space" that sees deep orchestral movements and odd vocal tones embellish a shuffling house groove with typical Wolfers eccentricity.

Silent Servant - El mar (Svreca Remixes) [Semantica]


A - El Mar (Svreca remix 1)


B - El Mar (Svreca remix 2)



This new Semantica release is a bit different compared to their last few releases. A more dancefloor orientated house/techno hybrid by Silent Servant (and including a remix by Oscar Mulero) which is of the same high quality as his releases on Sandwell District and Historia y Violencia.

Aiken - Mer [Semantica]


A1 - Mer


A2 - Changed Life


B1 - Conclusion (Architectural remix)


B2 - Trust Ourselves



Three tracks of darker, rolling Techno on the debut vinyl outing for Aiken, backed with an Architectural remix by Reeko. Aiken's original productions skirt pneumatic Dub Techno on 'Mer' and more hypnotic, slinkier pumps on 'Changed Life', or dissonant, metallic stomp of 'Trust Ourselves'. Reeko's Architectural remix of 'Conclusion' is more experimental, leaning towards an aquatic, bass-driven Dub Tech swing.

Miles - Facets [Modern Love]



A1 - Flawed


A2 - Lustre


B1 - Primer


B2 - On the fly



Miles Whittaker has been an integral part of the Modern Love label since its inception in 2002 - as one half of both Pendle Coven and Demdike Stare, as well as his own productions under the MLZ and Millie monikers. After almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release Miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. The Facets EP brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the House and Techno he\ s most commonly released as MLZ together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for Millie and the darkened tribalism of Demdike Stare. \ Flawed\ opens the set with a Linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that\ s somewhere between House and Dub, before \ Lustre\ re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate Andy Stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. \ Primer\ on the flip extends from a Demdike Stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine workout, before \ On The fly\ ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio The Mill earlier this year.

Actress/Maze from Luke Alexander on Vimeo.

Levon Vincent - Man Or Mistress [Novel Sound]


A1 - Man Or Mistress


B1 - Making Headway


B2 - No Regrets



The return of Levon Vincent!!! It's over 18 months since he dropped the masterful 'Double Jointed Sex Freak', and aside from a couple of low key remixes on Moodmusic and UQ we've been left starving for new material. As expected, his production is super right and tight, built for soundsystems capable of handling his signature bass weight and those massive kicks. Spanning the A-side 'Man Or Mistress' haughtily minces up to a teasing square bass before stealthily unleashing an almighty synthline for macho movers and the ambiguous Adonis inside you. By the track's end it's pure tops-off time. Flip him over and 'Making Headway' serves a non-too-subtle arrangement of panting, barking noises over thrusting subs with that wide-style New York spaciousness, and finally 'No Regrets' deploys sweetly forlorn vocal licks on a more warped kicker for the midday dancing crew.

Move D - Workshop 13


A1


B1


B2



Another excellent outing from Move D on Workshop, quite possibly his best and most diverse yet. The A-side is one of those insinctively jazzy numbers he specialises in, working in a distinct Afro-rhythmic lilt with bobbling marimba-like patterns around sensually tingling strings and light-headed guitar licks. Lush! B-side finds a more muscular House groove powered by chunky Toms and seductive chords corralled with an unmistakable expertise, and tips out to a down-slow Boogie soul joint in his deeply charming style.
