Long term Seven Hills friend and collaborator Thee J Johanz returns to wax for the third instalment of our original release series. 

This release runs close to the heart for Johanz as it was produced in the wake of his mother’s passing and stands as a profoundly personal eulogy for loved ones passed. Where Goes Your Soul? has all the trademark spiralling synth lines and hypnotic rhythm making that we have come to love in Johanz’s music making. 

The title track of the EP: Where Goes Your Soul? stands alone on the A side but carries more than enough weight to hold its own. Stabbing synths build alongside a subtly haunting vocal, up to an awesome crescendo and intoxicating groove. Kicking off the B side is Two C Bee, an aptly psychedelic mix of soft pads and helical synth arpeggios. The EP closes with an impressive bubbling analogue landscape, Analex. This beat-less masterpiece with a sincerely cinematic feel, rounds things off in style.

SHR003 - Thee J Johanz - Where Goes Your Soul?

An important but left behind album from 1994 originally on the Concrete label and now fully remastered & reissued. 

Three piece Opik, which consisted of Murray Clark, Chris Deverell and Robert Ellerby delivered some of the most bustling, pulsating, instrumental electronic music of the 90’s. Driven along by forceful emotional basslines coupled with melodic synths and the occasional epic vocal sample. Think LFO, think Orbital, think Leftfield, think Underworld and you are nearly there. Music truly ahead of its time.

Next up on Lyssna Records is no other than @Aspetuck from the great state of New York.

He's a friend of the label and one of the hardest working producers around. We're immensely proud to be given the privilege to release his four track masterpiece "Lost the Key".

The EP is full of swirling 303s, off kilter beats and synth laden soundscapes, ingredients we love here at Lyssna HQ..

"Lost the Key" is slated for a Bandcamp exclusive release on the 3rd of September before it hits streaming services and other online boutiques a bit later.

Tracklist: 
A1. Harbour Lights
A2. Change is Gonna Come
B1. Fall
B2. Midnight Creep

Spin Fidelity returns home to Magnonic Signals with an outstanding solo EP, Gravitational Lensing…

‘Harbour Lights’ (+) opens the EP and instantly grabs you with its elastic bass and soaring synths. Jam packed with the Spin Fidelity signature sound, driving electro and Martian melodies.

Next up is ‘Change Is Gonna Come’ (++) A laid back 4/4 groove that builds and develops into a full on acidic symphony which is sure to please the 303 lovers.

On the flip ‘Fall’ (-) is a descent into emotional robotic funk. Hypnotic and beautiful in equal measures, definitely a track to get lost in!

Last but not least we have the epic ‘Midnight Creep’ (- -) The stuff of dreams or nightmares? Dark and light? The Midnight Creep is lurking. Haunting electro.

Signals are getting stronger…

Travelling Without Moving

A1. Opik - Lovekraft

Our exploration of Ballet Mechanique’s old DAT archives, stack full of unreleased material from the 90’s era, continues with our sixth release and materializes into the third volume of the “1992-1999 Collection” series. Like the previous two volumes of the series did, also this EP brings to lights the diverse and varied approach of Jeroen’s productions: an A side featuring more “ravey” and uplifting tunes, and a B side focused on funk fuelled electro and IDM.

Title: Headwash
Label: Hot Plates
Cat No: HOTONES001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Headwash
B1. After All
B2. J.S.B. #2 

“F. Free & H. Hand take control of HOTONES001, with a reissue of a not just rare but colossally fabled record that only ever made it to test press in 1995. Ten copies were produced of this three-track excursion into the analogue heavy echelons of a deranged technosphere. 

‘Headwash’ shudders through your body like electricity, off-kilter bleeps miraculously balancing the composition, while a menacing bassline inflates your lower body, and some. ‘After All’ drops the pace, employing the iconic Ensoniq DP-4 to create moist, meandering patterns that epitomise the 90s hedonistic German subculture in which the record was developed. The record’s finale, ‘J.S.B #2’ is the most ruckus cut of the lot, playing with heavy leads, synesthesia inducing scenes of strobe lights are inevitable - pair the two, and you have outright carnage. 

This is music for smoked out, fast and long raves. Do not sleep.”
