It's been four years since Tim Exile's last release, but the analog warrior never stopped his ferociously futuristic experimentation, whether collaborating with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, improvising presentations at TED Global 2013, or performing as Mostly Robot with Jamie Lidell. Tim has become more relaxed about music these days following releases on Warp and Planet Mu, diving deep into refined techno without sacrificing fun. Exile's new EP on Leisure System gathers stunning improvised instrumental club bangers from the churning assembly line of his mind, three prickly synth adventures with all the glorious bombast expected from dueling intergalactic battleships. The Harmuni EP represents a new chapter for Tim Exile as he reconnects with his club roots. Nobody is safe. Grab your subwoofer and pray.

Dele Sosimi - You No Fit Touch Am (Medlar Remix) (STW Premiere)

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/faze-action-zeke-manyika-mangwana/599016-01/

Faze Action return with a brand new 12", teaming up with Zimbabwean born Zeke Manyika to create "Mangwana". Sung in Zeke's native Shona, and taking influences from Mory Kante, South African Kwaito to early house, Faze Action manage to create a record that harks back yet still has a modern and contemporary feel and is set to be the soundtrack to countless festivals and outdoor parties this summer.

The title track is followed by the stunning "Chiiko", featuring Zeke's vocals enriched by Rob's 'cello's with African rhythms floating you away to another tropical world. A Vision of Panorama turns up the dial with a stunning mix on the flip side. A new bass line adds to some quality keyboard work. Finally the brothers deliver are more stripped out dub "Paradise '89 Mix" tailored for the peak time.

Monolog - When the clouds roll by LP 

The title hints to Douglas Fairbanks movie from 1919 where a man battles fear, despair, inner demons in his pursuit of the unquenchable love he feels towards to woman of his life. In a similar orbit, we find the monolog monikers intention with this EP - mediating dark tales and a new array of nightmares put in audio with small rays of light coming through the heavy clouds. The listener is rolled by blistering fast drum and bass tracks and half step experiments, hitting you with such low end and detail you sense the motion blur and the vile soundscapes pierce your skin. Yet again Mads Lindgren aka Monolog steps up the level of production and achieves a new height of fidelity and a new level of grit and damage in the bass lines, carefully woven together with field recordings and textural layers of the world that surround us. Subtrakt proudly presents When the clouds roll by.

PTP is proud to present the debut album by Celestial Trax (real name Joni Judén) entitled 'Nothing Is Real,' which he describes as a departure not only in sound but also geographically and spiritually from his previous output, having found an increased interest in mysticism and the esoteric.

Taking inspiration from a quote by Anton Chekov, "if you want to work on your art, work on your life," Judén aimed for the album to be a true representation of his voice at this time. He felt a need to distance himself from the distractions a creative hub like NYC can often provide, not wanting to become too influenced by the city's current trends, and instead shifted his focus inward to cultivate a more meaningful self-connection: this journey and struggle thus serving as the main inspiration to the writing.

In beginning 'Nothing Is Real,' Judén had reached the point of creative purge, deleting almost all samples, sample packs, and software synths. Fueled by ideas of rebirth and true self-projection, he amassed a library of field recordings from New York City, plus samples from his own cassettes, vinyl, and Youtube search history - utilizing every sound source he could come across in his studio whilst trying to spend as little time as possible on the computer screen. The result being an album less concerned with achieving a masterful polish and sonic bombast, instead aiming for more organic textures where noise and imperfection reflects the human experience, with recurring themes of existentialism, surrealism and nature permeating throughout.

GRANT004 is released world-wide on Friday 25th May.

A1 Spiritual Path
A2 Mediate
B1 The Other Man
B2 Capital Road

US artist Grant now located in France returns to his self-released white label series with an ever more expansive EP of deep, rolling house.

With a firm grasp for 80’s Chicago and Detroit House tased with 90’s deep house tropes, GRANT004 finds him on deepest ever form, with swirling luscious pads, snippet vocals and thudding percussion sinking us further down into the depths.

Spiritual Paths takes us soaring down cloud-filtered lanes of scuffed 909’s, shrouded pad-work and classic acid lines. Mediate holds a more firm groove and tinkering lines of melodic percussion, shifting and swaying from the edges of a pink-lit, smoke-filled 5am club haze.

Riffing off of all things Chicago, The Other Man is a testament and homage to the personal and intimate power of classic deep house. As a subtle finish to proceedings is Capital Road. An early morning workout with white morning sunlight filtering through the shades.

Grant 004 - Clips

The power suddenly seized and the show came to a blistering halt. The cars which had been previously illuminated by the glow of flickering spotlights were suddenly plunged into chaotic darkness as the dodgems froze abruptly on the concourse. The power had tripped, it was a beautiful disaster as the funfair froze for a moment of blissful chaos and drastic hazard. Upon the ferris wheel sat dazed revelers who watched the scene unfold from a perch within the midnight sky...

Medlar returns to Delusions Of Grandeur for the first time since 2015 with a new club focused EP which is set to be heard across dancefloors all summer long.

PREMIERE: Medlar - Tripped [Delusions Of Grandeur]

It's no secret we're big fans of Heart to Heart (being one of Canada's only vinyl-focused labels is a quick way to get in our good books), and today we get to double down on the feels as H2H011 comes to us with an entirely Canadian lineup. "Tales From Plush Palace" is a nostalgia-soaked vinyl debut by Vancouverite regularfantasy that comes with three originals and a speedy remix from the never only so-so Zozi (aka the always a-plus D Tiffany).

After a brief intro of crunchy drums, a classic chord progression offers a trip down memory lane and goes onto become a reliable foundation for the rest of the track. Lush synth hits, warm pads, and the "not quite a trumpet but definitely a trumpet" you'll surely recognize from decades of house past, make up the family of vintage sounds that work together to build the track. A loose arrangement keeps things exciting while giving the vibe that the production was the result of intuitive jamming versus formulaic sequencing — a welcome feeling given how so many music making tools lend themselves so readily to the latter. And while it can be risky to dip so deeply into the past, everything here is fresh enough for guilt-free enjoyment.

On the remix, fellow Vancouver house-head DJ ZOZI speeds things up and flips the track from a casual afternoon in the sun to a night so late it has to be almost sunrise. Aptly named the late night mix, the quicker arrangement and added sounds make for a robust DJ tool that would sit comfortably in the "I don't want to know what time it is" section of your crate.

The B-side keeps things chill with "It's Softer Than It Looks Scotty Jam" and "House Interlude 2 (Island Mix)". Both tracks serve as a soothing come down to the raucous mood of the A-side and give the EP a subtle depth beyond the dancefloor. Tales From Plush Palace is out May 17th on vinyl.

PREMIERE: Pau Roca - Liquid (PR's Edit) [Pleasure Of Love]

From the EP Josu Mämmi - Evo1
(SRE 020, Super Life Records 2018)

Josu Mämmi returns to Super Life Records after a years break to deliver a three track EP of cutting edge electronica with strong dance-floor appeal. The EP is named Evo1 and is a first of a series of EP's that represent the fast evolution of Josu's productions and taste in electronic music.

The EP starts off with 'Don't Think About The Landing' which has drawn influences from tech-house, minimal house and idm. The mixture is topped off with emotional harmonies to contrast the driving percussions. 'Steamer' takes a brake from futile melodies and focuses on the elementary: drive and dystopian atmosphere. 'Pace' focuses first on the calm build up and melody, and then ends the EP with a billow of atmosphere influenced by the great American minimalists of the 60's and 70's.
