"The hive raccoon of the Procyonidae family is a example of a mammal that could survive the harsh environmental realities of unchecked hive city sprawl. The hive raccoon, or Procyon Alveare (a new species coined in 2050 in one of Japan's first hive cities), is unhindered by obstacles vertically and is found to be an exceptional problem solver. Many raccoon families live and nest in the air ducts and substations of superstructures. With maintenance crews stretched thin in the late night, hive raccoons wander the various levels of the megacity foraging for food. Eradication efforts have been futile, and most people have accepted the nocturnal mammals as a part of their sacrifice for living closer to the atmosphere in the upper levels. 

The slums below continued to be dwarfed by the surrounding concrete, steel, and super-strength polymer megaliths. They blocked out the sun in some instances, giving hive raccoons a reprieve to scurry around during the day, often running in packs of four or five around the darkened alleys and under-levels. They are usually shy and docile, preferring to stay away from humans. 
Their gentle and kind disposition and tendency to help other species (including us by picking the streets clean of loose electrical waste), have earned them a place in the hive cities and arcologies around the world. Most of the populace tolerates their existence, despite criticism from the North American Federated States Upper Council claiming that hive raccoons were compromising their super structures and proclaiming their perceived craftiness as a nuisance and a blight to upper-city living.

Animal behavioural scientists have commented that some of the hive raccoons are changing. Sometimes instead of individuals or groups foraging for food, a small band will form and set out together to gather bits and pieces of discarded technology: circuit boards, batteries, copper wires, smart-foam, cellphones, laptops, cameras, etc. Scientists have claimed that the 'super trash pandas' were in the process of adaptation (and a potential evolution), and that they should be not disturbed or removed from their nesting areas, unless there was a rabid one loose. 

The megacity councilors on the other hand prefers to see them as pests. Fearful of unchecked proliferation of these 'hive rats' in their superstructure and critical systems, clandestine control and eradication teams were formed to capture and secure these 'rats'. Some dwellers in the upper levels have complained of things being vandalized, such as speakers hubs and light fixtures torn out of certain tunnels.  Eradication teams will often patrol not only on the upper levels but venture towards the lower more polluted levels as well, causing conflict between the denizens of the two levels regarding jurisdiction violations. Stalking and trapping teams will often comb the inaccessible areas of their superstructures, hoping for a kill or capture, only to waste their time and resources on a dead end. On the rare occasion though, hive raccoons have been tracked, captured, and abused, much to the disdain of lower-level denizens, upper-level animal lovers, and most liberal scientists in the NAFS.

Hence, the hive raccoons, despite their resilience and craftiness, always have to be on guard. Their existence and propagation in hive cities around the world continues to surprise and baffle scientists despite their human/machine efforts to quell the population.

We will continue our program 'Wanderers of the Megacity' shortly after these mandatory messages from the North American Federated States. Please don your headsets to receive this broadcast in VR."

Wanderers of the Megacity: Introduction

One of the last track out from 29th july from the last Paul's Ritch single.

Paul Ritch - Run Baby Run (Original Mix)

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release.php?idxRelease=3872

Back in March 2003 Claro Intelecto announced his arrival in the electronic world with his Peace Of Mind EP on Ai Records. Now, a decade later, Delsin, the label on which he released his latest LP, is re-releasing it in all its glory. Across four perfectly formed tracks the EP proved Manchester’s Mark Stewart to have a fine grasp on techno, electro and dub, and that he was able to do his own unique things with each.

Arguably the most well known cut from the EP is 'Peace of Mind (Electrosoul)', a busy bit of chattery house-come-electro that is wired up with many zithering melody lines and Claro's trademark lush strings. 'Tone' is then a much more frazzled and aggressive bit of techno with raw, slapping percussion, gurgling synth lines and plenty of dystopian electro vibes. 'Contact' then settles into a deep, dubby, spacious groove with airy hi hats and a delightful bassline and carries you along effortlessly, and final track 'Signifier' closes things out in beautifully serene style with ambient swirling pads, organic synths and a curious bassline that rises and falls like the tide. Seminal stuff that still fetches a high price on Discogs, it was the start of a remarkable career for Claro Intelecto.

The second Lobster Theremin white label comes from the mysterious Australian producer, Daze. Making his release debut with four original tracks, Daze covers varying strains of tough melodic house, ferocious acid and old school breakbeat, taking us on an experiential journey into the heart of British rave culture via Detroit-influenced electro and rough and ready tape jams. 

Opening with an overdriven call to action, Drag Ball traverses the lines between synth-driven house and scorched techno, pulsating with cracked clap-snare derivatives and soothing yet slightly paranoid Juno lines. 

Untitled signals the beginning of the generally classic slant of the EP, channeling hair-raising acid lines under some crunchy electro drum programming. But it's the soaring synths that set it apart, floating aloft the bubbling madness below. 

On the flip there are two mixes of title track Lips.. The '94 Original DAT Dub having been culled raw from the source providing a deeper and less immediate take on an euphoric modern classic. The revised '07 Skyline Mix sees the mix brightened and pumped up for serious systems, with the extra-layered pads making that euphoric mid-section feel like ten pills rather than two.

Over the last ten years, GREG KOZO released self-produced house music EPs on his labels, Place Blanche or Enchanté Records, and toured the world with one of the most successful French electronic band between 2009 and 2015.
2016 marks the year of the release of his first solo album due in October on ROY MUSIC. Melodic and deep-house oriented, the first single release "YOU" comes with a video, shot, edited and directed by Greg in Bangkok, Thailand..
"SIGNS" is very characteristic of Greg’s club culture, although filled with techno beats.
Last but not least, I:CUBE (Versatile) aka "One of the Godfathers of the French Touch" gives us a deep-house soulful version of "YOU". Hypnotic and Extatic !

Out 12th August at all questionable record stores

Beginning in the south, the Bruce Trail hugs the ancient shoreline of Lake Iroquoia as it follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The Path, over its lengthy journey, winds its way through a landscape of natural beauty as it moves up to central Ontario. 
As the Trail leads further into the depths of the woodland and Ravine, sunlight falls through layers of evergreen branches stamping intricate patterns on the forest floor. Continuing north, the Trail passes an array of plants and wildlife native to the historic forest. Vivid colours saturate the forest canopy, complimented by the sounds of the cascading waterfall echoing through the Ravine. In the distance a carpet of gently waving fern cover the rolling hills dotted with slow-growing centuries-old coniferous trees that reach towards the sun.
At the home stretch of the escarpment you will be offered stunning views of the Peninsula, with the calm blue water of the western end of Lake Ontario reaching out to the lush greens of the temperate rainforest. This is the journey of the Bruce Trail.

When Stoned idea #4532 was put into play this is what happened : We  round up some fellow herb-merchants to have a go at rolling Von Party & Naduve's 'Cobra Kush' up and hosting their own studio smoke-out. 

1st up is Rodion : BONAFIED big-snake smoke machine. This i can attest to - his mixing desk is one big mixing bowl. You don’t actually have to look for the weed because its everywhere there. Its inside the machines, it’s all over the mouse, and the smoke alarm has dead batteries from being overworked. 

More mixes to come from Peter Power and DJ Sabo....

Samo DJ & Maxxxbass - SNAKER 008

Joining the X-Kalay roster for his debut EP, Slim Steve delivers four impressive cuts of infectious, lust infused house. Produced on an array of hardware in Steve’s bedroom in Rome, this is a refreshingly honest EP and takes the label into somewhat nostalgic territory. 

90’s ballads meet sampled italo percussion, skittish pitched up vocals pierce dangerous basslines and lung busting breakdowns give way to searching lasers in smoke filled rooms. English born Italian Steve Langrish accomplishes all this with a level of effortlessness that belies his astonishingly young years. 

An impressive debut for sure. Watch this space – Slim’s comin!

Release info:

While unveiling the ‘Mutant Tournament’ Quartet last year, label boss Nachtbraker was quietly hunting for new music behind the scenes. Being the fine huntsman he is, he came out of the woods with sonic bits and bobs so delectable he had no choice but to spread them out over two brand new quartets. That’s right, eight records in total, to be released over the course of the next 18 months.
We’re delighted to introduce you to Scott Franka, who’s at the helm of the first missive. This creative head from Amsterdam has been making music since the tender age of 11, but it wasn’t until he adopted his Scott Franka moniker that he really found his groove. His music encompasses influences from dub and dark techno to classic drumpcomputer and synth-heavy house. Franka’s style takes cues from Detroit, Chicago and the UK, and yet is also very personal and forward thinking at the same time. ’The Gym’ might be his solo debut, but a smattering of releases from the man is on the horizon.
The best way to introduce you to Scott Franka’s musicality is “The Gym” on A1. Starting of with sweet, melancholic chords and 808 hats Scott turns your world upside down after the first break. Try to keep your head steady, and get that dirty look of your face.. doesn’t work right? It’s just too good. “Toenail” is up next, and its undeniable groove and incredible amalgamation of synths and strings make for an absolute early hours melter. Flip over for ‘Sorry’ to hear Franka knock it out of the ballpark with its heavy breakbeat and UK-style bass. Finally, there’s ‘Street’, a mesmerising groover, rounding things off nicely.
The release doesn’t only mark its first artist EP, it also marks a new look for the label. Building on the muscular, pheromone-rich theme of the first Quartet, Elsemarijn Bruys developed a fresh concept for both new Quartets with a little help from Scott Franka, who is involved in numerous art projects in Amsterdam. And in case you’re wondering: yes, that’s an actual picture of a bodybuilder, painted from head to toe. Don’t ask us how, just marvel.

A1 - Scott Franka - The Gym

The sandy outback was not a place to be caught off guard and unaware. This was a perilous place packed rife with danger at every turn and a villainous omen might come a calling at any given time. The purple hills in the distance hung hazily in the blurry echoes of his vision as he continued to walk forwards into the dust storm. The noise of the wind echoed fiercely with a weighty tone between his ears. This was the last time he might see the sky, for it would be no more. 

Yard One returns with a new EP for Unclear Records. It is accompanied by an action packed rave remix from Simoncino, however, it was the original which caught our upmost attention.
