Session Victim have become something of a phenomenon since their
inception a little over 12 years ago. They bring a sense of fun and unrivalled energy to their live shows and DJ sets which instantly connects with any crowd in front of them and their charming disregard for musical boundaries ensures that you never know quite what to expect or where they’re heading next. When not feeding their addiction to pinball machines, the duo of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling are constantly creating, keeping things fresh by forming labels such as Retreat run by Hauke and Quarion, Pen & Paper run by the duo themselves and Hauke’s new baby Save The Books.

Last year’s Needledrop LP for Night Time Stories saw them step away from the dance floor and head into deep, downtempo mode to great effect, and now we’re proud to welcome Session Victim back to Delusions Of Grandeur for the release of Two Crowns which sees them edging back towards clubbier sounds, albeit with their trademark live instrumentation and highly musical approach.

The EP gives us three original tracks which move smoothly from the
lowslung funky wobble of the title track with it’s stabbing analogue synths and house not house live drum groove, through to the lush, expansive sounds of Village Youth. Once again, Session Victim have created a collection of tracks which give us a sense of nostalgia for early 90’s Fila Brazilia/Solid Doctor records on the influential Porky label. A world where trippy spoken word samples, cut up breakbeats, deep pads and sine wave basslines live in perfect harmony and a sense of optimism flows through every note. Let’s face it, we can all do with some of that right now!

PREMIERE : Session Victim - Two Crowns

The Past The Future

'Like Robert Palmer on Es' - Piccadilly Records

'Hotly tipped British hustlers'- DJ Mag

'Radiophonic borderline funk that makes a mutha smile!' - Bootsy Collins

Its a third trip out on vinyl for us here at Sprechen and steering us through the surf is Manchester 6 piece 'See Thru Hands' who drop seriously sanguine vibes on their lazer guided single 'Connectivity'.

A self-produced alt-pop banger from the collective which fully delivers on all things 'disco/not disco-synth-funk-dancefloor heater' vibes that brings to mind peak 80's Chaka Khan partying with LCD Soundsystem & A Certain Ratio at Paisley Park.

Remixes for every occasion on this one with Skream cranking up the Italo disco-o-meter to 14 on his bass driven peak time banger for large room raving whilst Jorja Chalmers takes the party back to a smoky shebeen on her mix that sounds like Tricky sharing a blunt with Aphex Twin whilst King Tubby twiddles the dials!

Our very own Massey finishes off the package with a mucky tops off style gutter pumper which belongs in those basements you'll often find him and many like minded souls dwelling within.

Love & Vibes from:

Gina Breeze: "Absolutely love the whole package. Fire remixes! The original is acesss too!"

Jon Dasilva: "Great remix from Massey...nods to Will Orbit's remix of Prince's Future"

Bill Brewster: "Good package but nothing beats the original!"

Hot Toddy: "The original is rip roaring spangled funk jam...if that's even a thing!, love it"

Michelle Manetti: "Massey's remix for me!"

Marco Giannini/Sticky Heat: "OOFT! I'll be supporting this and then some. Loving the original, Skream and Massey mixes, but the Massey mix is the pick of the whole EP"

Laura Zuanella: "Skream and Massey remixes are 5/5!!"

MIMS is excited to share Ahu’s “I & I”, remixed by Edseven; an addictive slice of soul over hip hop beats that brings to mind classic trip hop, whilst sounding fresh at the same time. Taken from Ahu’s forthcoming ‘Platonic’ EP on Inner Tribe. Released on October 30.

A Red Bull Music Academy alumnus, Ahu has worked with the likes of Flying Lotus, Mr. Beatnick, Emanative and Simbad. Her self released single 'To:Love' produced by Paul White and Dimlite received world wide support by heavyweights such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke. A woman of many talents, Ahu also doubles as a DJ playing festivals such as Barcelona Sonar Festival, Southern Soul Festival, Brainfeeder as well as some of the scenes most iconic clubs & events including Plastic People, Boiler Room London and Gilles Peterson’s World Wide Awards. 

This is a woman with raw talent and a unique voice that you won't forget, whose songs have an original other worldly sound. Which no doubt led to her Emanative feature, "Turn Your Lights On", finding its way on to a short film for Miu Miu, directed by Ava DuVernay.   From writing songs for movie scores, some in languages other than her own, and with her last single 'Go' released by none other than Sony Music in 2019, on top of all this she also has earned herself a monthly radio slot on Worldwide FM called "Hour of Light".

Ahu is also a certified Astrologer, giving a deeper understanding and meaning to this extremely innovative album. Astrology is a symbolic language and the EP title 'Platonic' is related to Neptune. In "I & I " (Venus Square Neptune) in astrology it describes disappointment in situations of Love.

Armed with a unique ear, deep collection and a skill for combining diverse sounds, Sydney's Edseven has built a solid reputation as a DJ over the last 15 years as well as a producer/remixer and more recently as a promoter.

Edseven's production work draws upon a wide variety of influences, with releases including the dusty off kilter hip hop of his first two EPs on Straightup Recordings to his future focused 'Pigeon Clap' released via Frequency Lab on their Headroom compilation. Hs most recent outing was a single on Sydney based label Low Key Source featuring vocals from Colonel Red with remixes from Potato Head People & Grooveman Spot.

Released digitally on October 30 with physical to follow. ‘Platonic’ also features remixes by Kid Sublime, Roane Namuh and Inner Tribe co-founder Inkswel.

Despite the challenges and weirdness of the year, boundary-blazing bandoleros Duro continue to shoot through 2020, all-pistols-blazing. Releases have fired from all corners but one of the strongest themes has been the ‘Muy Duro’ volumes. The Mexican label’s flagship V/A series, each EP digs deep into the dark disco psyche, celebrating the label’s widest sonic outposts and reference points with friends and shared spirits from across the world, old and new. Marking a year of the series, with tracks from Israel to Istanbul, ‘Muy Duro Volume 5’ is certainly no exception.

Veteran cosmic groover Tim Paris makes his long-awaited debut with the slouching funk and broken drum swagger of ‘Better Slightly Unchanged’ before two more collaborations join the party with their Duro debuts, all hailing from Israel; Middle Sky Boom and AckerMan whisk us through the stars on ‘Temp Goes High’ while Rina X Benji pay homage to mind alteration on the electroid bumps and asteroid grinds of ‘Koshmaro’.

Professional belly dancers and long-time friends of Duro Hanzo & Yaman follow with ‘Hokus Pokus’. A springy, playful slab of house music laced with pitched bells and a riser that teases and teases, there’s a late 90s/early 200s mischief to this that, like the label itself, just won’t quit. The final word comes from the label bossman Theus Mago and French brother-in-arms Id!r… And that word is techno. Deep bleeps and endless pulsations, ‘Soft Light’ is an epic moment of pure late night hedonism that sits somewhere between Bobby Peru and Plastikman. Blazing boundaries and still fully loaded, the Duro bandoleros keep on shooting.

London-based producer Kanyalang! hits Truth Radio for the third time with the EP ”Sometimes I Feel Weird” containing four magic breakbeat tracks that will make you feel <3 The premiered track “The Last Dance” truly reflects the long-awaited early dancing hours in the dark.

The EP was written throughout lockdown, with the title reflecting the strange sensations and feelings he experienced trying to make sense of the whole thing.

Sonically, he usually tries to create a contrast between harsher more visceral drums, with warmer pads so it fluctuates between euphoria and intensity on the dance floor.

The release comes in fine continuation of Truth Radio's other releases, which over the past many years have focused on experimental club music

We last heard from Radeckt on the Spektrum 2 compilation, now he’s back with his debut solo EP. The Danish producer specialises in emotion- ally-driven club music, designed to spark inspiration and moments of contemplation. The dance floor is a safe space for free expression, human interaction and catharsis... Radeckt’s music is the perfect accompaniment to these channels of connection, while encouraging you to dance. On the Corroded Mind EP we get four original cuts, all of which encapsulate Radeckt’s penchant for music that moves the soul... 

It all begins with the title track. ‘Corroded Mind’ has a subdued intro, gently guiding us into a mesmerising sonic landscape. Soft pads massage the mind while siren-esque effects and metallic beats encourage the body to move to their hypnotic rhythm. Radeckt imbues the second half with drama and energy, while still keeping the mood sombre. 

‘Narrative Lie’ utilises layers of emotive synth and serene sounds, along with a meandering melody that lures you into its rhythmic flow. The glum low end counteracts the brighter elements of the track creating a neat juxtaposition. As the track progresses, the intensity of the main motif increases, sending temperatures rising. 

Next up is ‘Invisible Guard’ with its oscillating bass and simple, yet highly effective riff. Radeckt confidently applies the pressure, carefully in- creasing the tension until we reach a scintillating breakdown which takes us into the glorious second half. 

‘Silver Lining’ closes the EP, bringing a little bounce to the release. Radeckt gives us stuttered beats with great use of percussion to provide the energetic allure of this cut. As it builds, he incorporates an earworm melody along with neon laser synth lines and the whole thing feels like an eighties TV show theme with 21st Century sheen.

PREMIERE : Radeckt - Corroded Mind

When porcelain hits the floor it is seen as a promise for a brighter
time. A time in that we calm down and reconnect to a higher grace
in order to find contentment in the imperfections and impermanence of our human experience. Kinsuby reassembles fragments of legendary music from Kraut to Disco. Just like Japanese artists recompose wonky pottery with gold. This can also be seen as a metaphor for life. Here our fractures are the actual gold veins and a portal to growth, creativity, knowledge and bliss. The 6th Release is the single “Wasuremono”. Wasuremono is japanese and stands for „the forgotten thing“. Kinsuby found this track on an old tape on which is was recorded a year ago. On a metaphoric level „Wasuremono“ hints at the forgotten resources that live deep in our subconscious.

PREMIERE : Kinsuby - Wasuremono

“Origins" is a collection of 6 pillars of exploratory electronic music from 6 different uprising producers and sound artists. A varied, yet cohesive collection of bright, meditative, and pulsating atmospheres.

Portland's Well Being gives us "Soft Mood", which is just that. Shiny, crisp percussive elements ride a groove that peaks and valleys in all the right ways. Gentle acid bass echoes out in radar ping patterns while swells of smooth synth and indistinct vocal chops fill the room.

if you’re gonna start the new year with a bang then what better way to do it than with an incredible selection of balearic tinged exotica from the mighty Mr Dan Wainwright and his ‘Hope & Deliverance’ E.P.

‘I Love You’ is all kinds of hazy wooziness & spaced out synths & pads with a slack as heck broken beat that all mixes & swirls in the right places along this cosmic journey.

‘Floppy Computer’ is the newest set of future-gazing grooves from Periodica Records and label partner Raffaele “Whodamanny” Arcella rescuing and restoring forgotten tape compositions from a legendary Italian pop producer using the pseudonym Nico Mecca. Produced during the years 1979-1985 using cutting edge home recording techniques and the latest synthesizer. The productions across the works are incredibly forward-thinking for that time with inspirations and track titles refering to hypermodern tech and a proto-cyberpunk soundworld and progressive rock and experimental electronic music that features novel combinations of mediterranean boogie, robotic funk, sci-fi balearic, hypnagogic pop and astrotribal jazz. The discovery of the ‘Floppy Computer’ project is dictated by destiny and a strong cosmic interference as not only were these tracks produced by Mecca during his 30s, they were discovered 30 years later by Raffaele Whodamanny, who is also in his 30s– facts that give the project a mystical and numerological significance, since this number and age represent a divine midpoint between youthful enthusiasm and the wisdom of experience. Amazing record with both historical as creative value!
