Following his highly praised album “Word Color” from last year, Gacha Bakradze offers up this stunning EP on Fever AM. “Monument” sees the Tbilisi based art- ist taking us on a refreshing, sublime journey over 4 pieces featuring his signature melodies, broken beats and striking sound design. Gacha pulls off a very well rounded EP here that works perfectly on headphones at home or on a sound system in the club.

This is also the first artist besides labelheads Mor Elian and Rhyw to appear on Fever AM, opening up a new phase for the label.

The EP is a concentrated dose of effervescent, genre-blurring club material from the Chow Down affiliate and NTS regular, and features tracks taken from the producer’s 'spring/summer dubs 2019' mix.

‘Invitation 2 Dance’ lands on @localactionrecords offshoot 2 B Real on April 4. Tune ‘Helps Your Two Hips Move' now.

Next up we preview an upcoming release on @2020VisionRecordings for the one and only @CarlFinlow

Carl A. Finlow is a man who needs no introduction as he has been a cornerstone of Electro music since his first release in 1993. After countless EPs and a number of LPs on various labels, Carl brings his gorgeous, intelligent brand of Electro music to @2020VisionRecordings with a new 4 track EP called 'Electronic'.

The song picked to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is the final composition on the record called 'Flaw'. The track was composed using no physical hardware, using only able Ableton, for the create process and a Allen & Heath desk for mixing purposes. 'Flaw' is complete with beats that would make the late great Prince proud while firmly rooted with layers of electronic trickery. The entire release is an absolute slam dunk and is highly recommended by @DVSNME

False Reeds

Batu - Shiratani

DJ Nobu & Katsunori Sawa are Nobusawa.

A true auteur of hyper functional dance floor Techno production trades blows with one of the genre’s most lauded DJ’s.

By virtue of its component parts - each individual is a veteran of their respective schools, Nobusawa represents something of a dream team within the field of contemporary dance music. Nobu - a DJ in a rich vein of form, whose unique and beloved performances continue to build upon decades of experience as a selector; and Katsunori Sawa - whose keen ear for sonic balance & inventive engineering processes have long since marked him out as both a top tier solo artist & collaborator - the latter previously represented in his work as one half of the Steven Porter project.

The pairing also makes a strong statement regarding the burgeoning Japanese Techno scene - Sawa hails from Kyoto on Japan’s west side, and Nobu from Chiba - the east side of the country. Both artist’s represent different articulations of the genre, but come together as a powerful production unit to deliver a stunning, cohesive record in line with the Token label’s more dissonant, razor edged output.

Featuring two collaborative recordings, and a pair of solo works from each artist - TOKEN91 eschews low slung, wide angle ambience in favour of a more stripped back, direct approach. Nobu’s offering Peppercorns operates in the high frequencies, a tentatively more droning, dream-like composition in the context of Sawa’s galloping Call Scope - which marries quick fire kicks with a heady, psychedelic lead sequence. Decorative 17, EP closer & the second of the two collaborations is an unabashed main room workout, while Raspberry looks to warehouse spaces for inspiration - polyrhythmic drum machine programming buoys a warping lead synth line that binds the piece, whilst remaining untethered and wholly adventurous.

It’s a powerful debut for both artists that speaks volumes on the richness of properly articulated & well executed collaboration. Both Nobu & Sawa’s fingerprints are all over the work, and each individual brings an undeniably different angle to the EP -  but as a whole, it is the duo’s obvious, mutually respectful rapport that shines though, lifting the music far and above the sum of its parts.

Burial Remix 'Love" exclusive premier @ Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC6 Music)

D974/Boltmaker OUT NOW: https://lnk.to/jameswelshPH90

Yorkshire's finest, James Welsh returns to Phantasy with a blistering pair of charismatic and heavy-duty electro jams, released as a digital exclusive.

‘D974’ quickly explodes into a full-bore warehouse banger, throughout which Welsh employs rave stabs and cavernous basslines to eye-watering effect. Nonetheless, amid the madness, Welsh’s taste for psychedelia peeks through the darkness and into the strobe light.

On the contrary, 'Boltmaker' reintroduces Welsh's more nuanced commitment to analogue electronics and sheer suspense, riding along on a razor-sharp groove that undulates between flourishes of melody that prove to be in turn both menacing and surprisingly meditative.
