Having just celebrated six years in the game, Alien Communications has, in that time, delivered a headsy mix of electro and techno - fuelling countless parties, artist debuts, and a raft of top-tier releases. Regularly pushing the envelope with events like The Big Bang and a residency at The Lion & Lamb, AC’s booking policy has welcomed an array of heavy hitters, including Underground Resistance, Radioactive Man, DJ Stingray, Juan Atkins, Dopplereffekt and Jane Fitz - the list goes on.

Beyond exploring the far reaches of Detroit electro and techno, as well as showcasing the very best talent from the UK and Europe at his events, the Alien Communications label has become a creative home for the studio output of an exciting clutch of artists. From homegrown heroes such as Domenic Cappello, Ste Roberts, Polytunnel, Adam Curtain and Hardacre, to the expansive “Astral Projections” VA release, AC has made a clear statement of intent.

With Alien Communications’ star rising exponentially, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the UK artist’s turn on our InSessions mix series - and he hasn’t disappointed. Welding bomb-proof beats, outrageous acid lines, and fathoms-deep basslines to robotic aesthetics, this mix simultaneously looks back in time while fast-forwarding far into the future. To say the future is bright for Alien Communications would be an understatement, as he continues to weave his way across the world’s finest dancefloors.

How Monotonous, Herr Pencil (disquiet0715)

9-12-25 (lady sings the blues)

Flash Atkins has pulled together a crack team of musicians for Sanza Mibale Ya Bo Pemi. It is a tribute to the golden age of afro disco, when the sounds of 70s New York found their way to the continent and fused with local musical styles and rhythms.

Felix Ngindu sings in his native Lingala language from DRC over a locked bass, congas, keys, percussion, rhythm guitar and a brass section from Haggis Horn's Atholl Ransome and Malcolm Strachan. Funk, disco, soul and jazz all blend for a a peak time jam.

The Flash Dub strips things back to the rhythm section for heads down, dubby action and a tracky take that still packs a dance floor punch.

The incomparable Bosq steps up for remix duties and knocks it out the park. Layered drums and percussion give things a more latin swing before the beats break, piano enters the fray and it's a tropical funk party starter all the way.

The dub does the beat thing, rocking a hard groove for the dancers. Hands in the air? F**ck yeah!

After releasing several EP on Accents Records, ARTS, and Diffuse Reality. Pablo Diarra aka Saïph launches his own label Songe Anima records (Sonam rec) with this first release Griffe Sonam EP.

The EP's surprising influences include techno, contemporary trance and ambient, with acoustic recordings drums somewhere between, Afrobeat, jazz and Maracatu, and colder textured pads. This EP feels both grounded and ethereal.

The whole low-end spectrum stares us in a very dub-like direction, the snare, Rim, hats game is as swift as it is aerial, while the electro sound design elements take us, through experimental effect, into a vast, hushed soundscape.

The EP can't be summed up in a single musical style, and explores musical universes we've rarely heard together. The resulting unity is a mature, rhythmically complex sound, an insider's music that's easy to access because it's so danceable.

'After Trane'is an explicit tribute to John Coltrane. Here, the main lead evokes a sound somewhere between trumpet, flute and organ. Its polyrhythmic tangle with a second lead to the 5th can evoke a Balkan fanfare, a Celtic ritornello, West African chants, or even an Oriental dimension; there's something quite universal about this appearance; whose main characteristic is to produce a trance effect. The closing solo may evoke something of Joe Zawinul, and in some aspects takes the allure of a Coltranian pastiche in its articulation. You'll even recognize a brief citation of the Impressions theme, breaking through the mix and setting the track on fire at 5''33.

Running Hot’s eponymous new label is finally here. Kicking things off with 'Bad For The Body, Good For The Soul', four brand new dancefloor-ready cuts from the man himself ready for some heavy rotation this summer. “Local Dealer” gets us started with rattling percussion, moody strings and vocal cuts reminiscent of some forgotten 90s NY classic before “Doggo’s Groove” heads into slicker disco-fueled territory to complete the A-side. Flip things over for “Hippy Disco”, a peak time filter house inspired big room roller, before “Cali” doffs the cap to the smooth sound of early 2000s San Francisco.

PREMIERE : Running Hot - Local Dealer

Club Schumacher launches its record label
activity by releasing soon “Hyper Club Fantasies”, a compilation that showcases the work of women and queer artists. All tracks, artworks, and mastering involve creators whose content we admire.

This volume captures the versatility of musical genres that we love to dive into, and reflects the different facets of Club Schumacher, where peak time bangers are mixed with solar trance compositions, and euphoric hardcore euphoria turns into bewitched tribe atmospheres.

Enjoy the ride (:
