Clone Crown ltd series continues with some Detroit electro funk! For those not familiar with Erik Travis let us introduce him briefly. End of the 80's when Atkins just started his Metroplex label there was another guy doing electro and funk inspired futuristic dance tracks, Erik Travis. Erik Travis released in 1987 as Sound Of Mind the cult classic 'Programming' and some other obscure records fusing electro, 'techno' and rap. Somehow Erik Travis disappeared until the late 90's when he returned with his own label FACT records, and tracks on Databass and Metroplex. Till today he is one of the most unique characters in Detroit just minding his own business, making tracks that sound (quote) 'like no-one before him or after him'. Fast paced vocal electro funk with tracks such as Rollin' Through Time, Techno Drivers that are true classics. Here a new 4 track ep that sounds like no one before him or no one after him!

What do you get if you put two synthesizer sorcerers in the same room? In the case of Skatebård and Lauer, the answer is Trollkraft. Between them, the Norwegian-German partnership have hundreds of releases, run record labels and have wowed crowds across the globe. In short, the two tracks of Trollkraft are the product of some serious electronic talent. Rich and textured drum layers give way to strings and a vibrating bass for the title piece. Twists and turns abound, elements of disco and house brush shoulders with indie and italo as the pair tear down genre divisions. A 90s heyday influence that runs through both offerings, with “One Night in Geilo” taking its cue from house rhythms and a two-stepping melody adopted from that emblematic decade. Reimagining rave in their own effervescent and playful style, these strobe and fog veterans serve up a fat slice of glow-stick elation. Strings weave high into the dawning sky, bongos and toms reveling next incandescent synthines with just a touch of trance thrown in to add spice to this heady and euphoric mix. Two tracks from two true masters.

Orion - Akkadian [FB003]

It were as if the system was operating all by itself, making decisions of its own accord without the same fear or prejudice as that of any man or woman.

It knew each and every answer, it feared not the consequences which may come thereafter.

This was artificial intelligence and this was the future.

The sun would continue to rise and set each day. However, this was very much the beginning of a new dawn, one in which technology reigned supreme.

Love On The Rocks are back with a stellar EP from Pancratio - a beautiful, sun kissed affair which sits somewhere between the realms of house and trance yet is packed with balearic influences. Think sandy beaches and big speakers and you'll be on the right track.

PREMIERE: Pancratio - Artificial Intelligence [Love On The Rocks]

Next up in the mix series is one of our favourite DJ's of recent times, Gabriola, who you may know either as co-honcho of Hackney based, Magicwire, or from his monthly NTS show - both of which, notably fantastic outlets for great new and forward thinking music. Aside from keeping busy being from the above, as well as being as digitally enigmatic as possible, Gabriola's productions are have somewhat began to bubble above the surface as of late, further propagating his newtopian sounds which have become so closely associated with Magicwire, across the sonisphere.

In this hour-and-quarter, Gabriola lays down an array of distopian/utopian soundscapes, eased in by an eerie wash of ambient voices and sweeps. You're soon met with what you will have become a-custom to if a listener of his show, dance floor ready workouts, all tinged with a hue of future-melancholy. Although we should be unbiased here, this is truly one of our favourite mixes we have received - make sure to keep it close.

If you're around in London this week or Moscow shortly, keep an eye out for Magicwire label showcase's near you!
