@gallegos_1991 is one of my all time favourite producers. Absolutely no question. He has a completely unique sound that to me sounds like it comes partly from his incredible sample digging as well as his one of a kind drum sampling. It’s hard to say for sure what it is but all I know is that I can hear one of this tracks from a mile out. There is an incredible balance of weird shit mixed with super catchy motifs and big time grooves. 

I wish every day was a Gallegos day!

HHANDS015 - Gallegos - Chronic Ensoniq EP (Clips)

Italian producer & Juicy Traxx boss Slim Steve steps onto 1Ø PILLS MATE with New Visions an expansive exploration of modern techno sounds.

The record starts on a tense note with the rolling Everybody Is Talking (Body Mix) building the energy before the metallic, rolling techno of Liquid Metal. On the flip, Boss Ass B_h (COVID-19 Mix) is a break-sprinkled, percussive powerhouse while Loop of Life channels the breakbeat energy and takes it to a faster & more transcendent level.

Two bonus tracks round off the digital release, the big, ravey stomper Losing My Mind In Quarantine and the pensive roller, For The Lonely.

He was caught in the crossfire, a throng of shrill voices echoed out from all angles, and he wished to play no part in it. It had come to an apex after hours of back and forth; accusations had been thrown about, revelations were made, truces agreed — though not for long. He preferred to remain a spectator, to sit back and watch the madness unfold, to float in the flood...

Following Abul Mogard's reiterations of Tapan's Europa release in February, Berlin's Malka Tuti ready their next release, a solo debut from one half of Red Axes, Niv Arzi, under a new moniker: Nic Arizona. Ahead of the full album, 'Shavua Tov', which is set for release later this year, the label are teasing a couple of tracks for your listening (and dancing) pleasure — a 12" dance version and a remix from Salon Des Amateurs resident Lena Willikens.

‘An Increase In Entropy’ is the third and final triumphant piece in the trilogy of the 90’s Jungle / Drum and Bass flavoured releases from ASC for Samurai Music. Following on from the ‘An Exact Science’ EP and the ‘Isolated Systems’ LP, James again explores timeless motifs that have echoed through the years from their 90’s origins and brings them up to date with his intricate touches and ASC signature layers, while keeping the rawness and tempo that imbues the tunes with authenticity. James continues to re-establish himself as a 'one of a kind' producer whose skills succeed in establishing a creative peak in any style he works on.
