Lobster Theremin ambient sub-label Lobster Sleep Sequence announce the double LP + 7” album Unfinished from Dutch producer nthng - featuring a limited run of copies on deep green vinyl. 
Themed around events in the artist's life, Unfinished is a deeply personal journey, yet there’s something very relatable to the world he has conjured. Lockdown has forced us to look inward, explore realities within ourselves and the fragility of our forgotten world. The album is a series of peaks and troughs - hopeful words, ominous tones and other-worldly soundscapes, giving way to a journey in no way linear - but a true reflection of our times. 
The title track sets the scene perfectly, while Son features deep bass notes, dreamy keys and spoken word - creating a visceral and unsettling scene. Subnautica resides in the fringes of ambient and techno - as tribalistic drums are suspended in our new rendered reality. 
The marching bass and howling synths of Wrath of the Demon lull conspicuously in a vacuum, while the hauntingly beautiful vocals featured on Disappeared But Not Forgotten evoke a poignant, powerful reaction across the record’s B-side - “Everything stopped, you just disappeared...”
At its most tranquil Our Time offers a sense of rest - a space to appreciate, as we leave the window open, peer outside and feel the gentle breeze brush across our face. Saafe continues this theme, and feels like a warm embrace - “She saved my life in a matter of speaking, then she gave me back the power to believe.”
Ending Theme is beautifully organic as you hear the sound of the piano pedal touch the floor,  tones are introspective and vulnerable - while the looming presence of uncertainty subtly takes form in thinly layered pads. 
The album also sees the release of a digi only bonus track Only a Flash of Light and invites you outside while the stars are at their brightest.

Premiere: Oliver Rosemann - Pure-Dee Poison [Newrhythmic Records]

We have the honour to welcome the Portuguese based Klotz.

He provides our next 24th release, with a rip roaring three-track EP featuring a devastating remix of Dykkon. The result is a powerful EP that clearly demonstrates Klotz’s unique and personal approach to contemporary techno.

Dykkon returns to Signal Rec with a stunning remix featuring a strong propulsive techno rhythm, outrageously percussive granulated energy and mysterious cinematic storytelling.

'Hidrosfera' is a hypnotic labyrinth where time is stretched and mind is isolated.

The title track “My Room My Rules” gives us the perfect retro feel with evocative synth riff,  saluting the 90s in such an elegant way. Undoubtedly the record's most climactic moment.

“Host Unreachable” kicks things off with a more subtle vibes. The careful arrangement of a deeper, yet rolling baselines combined with a very sharp drums and mystical melodies. It builds up tension captivating  listener in the constant expectation of more. 

“Lost Normalcy” displays an undoubtedly great skills combining modern production whilst staying true to the core of the Techno genre. Hypnotic, yet danceable weapon for sophisticated DJs.

“Unstable Chorals” comes last as a fantastic closing track of this well-thought out release which dives back to harmonically more sinister territories. Perfect track for generating powerful moments of release on the dance-floor.
