For the last few months time seemed to stand still. Routine shaped her life now; every day was the same, from the moment she opened her eyes to the moment she finally rested her head on her pillow. It had begun to feel normal, as if this were all that was expected of her existence on this planet. Perhaps she preferred this life; cocooned from the pressures of the outside world.

The brainchild of DJ and Headroom co-founder Jessica, Lapse Records enters the world with a split EP from DJ Gonzo & Dr. Yes and Sasha Zlykh. The former pairing, known for their solo outputs as Klein and Melcher, respectively, take care of the A-Side with a playful techy cut and a spooky, hypnotic groover, while on the flip Sasha Zlykh takes the reins with two tripped out collabs alongside pals Troy and Trippsy.

PREMIERE: DJ Gonzo & Dr Yes - Ekranoplan [Lapse]

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we check in with @generali_minerali on Undersound Recordings

For the next release on the label, @undersoundlondon reaches to the Caucasian country of Georgia with this electro 4-tracker from Generali Minerali. The up-and-coming artist is the booker and sound engineer at the Drama Bar in Tbilisi. He opens the EP with two darker jams with swirly 303 lines on steady 808 rhythms. Influences from the late Microlith permeate these tracks, as the artist mentions him as one of his biggest inspirations. The B-side slows the tempo down with '808 Dream' where delayed melancholic melodies are intertwined with rough saw waves. Finally, “Evening Mood” offers the perfect mood for a warm-up or after-party with its downtempo swing and drums.

PREMIERE: Generali Minerali - 808 Dream (Undersound Recordings)

With ‘100% Dope’ we find Central Processing Unit bringing up their hundredth catalogue number, and you’d struggle to find a more fitting artist to ring in a century of releases for the label than Cygnus. The one born Phillip Washington has been with CPU since the very beginning, his 2012 LP ‘Newmark Phase’ representing the first record ever released on the imprint. That album’s combination of textured techno and grizzly Drexciyan electro set the tone for CPU perfectly, and it’s no surprise that Cygnus has returned to the Sheffield imprint several times down the years.

While ‘100% Dope’ is an expert demonstration of what Cygnus and CPU do, this EP also shows just how much both artist and label have grown over the past nine years. At its heart ‘100% Dope’ is a set of prime machine-funk from a master of the form, but these are also some of the most daring and innovative tracks that Cygnus has ever produced. 

Take opening cut ‘Bad RGB Controller’. In the undulating synth lines we have a ghost of grime as well as Drexciyan drive, and as such the track reminds one as much of Mr. Mitch or Last Japan as it does, say, Dopplereffekt. Furthermore, ‘Bad RGB Controller’ shifts gear around the halfway mark into a highwire electronica mode which has the wit and spark of prime Bogdan Raczynski. Entries like ‘Float Back To The Surface’ are similarly unpredictable. There's some lovely industrial techno bite to this one - the snare drum will echo in your head long after the party’s died down - but Cygnus periodically pulls out the rug from underneath us with passages of impressionistic texture that almost border on sound art. 

‘Float Back To The Surface’ is one of a trio of vocoder-led jams here. On ‘Throwing Shade’ we hear I-F and Egyptian Lover, with Cygnus’ vocals clattering around like pronouncements from some funked-out robot overlord atop hissing-piston drums. Then there’s the enticingly-titled ‘CPU Records’. ‘CPU Records’ delivers all the crisp electro snap we’ve come to expect from a record emblazoned with that signature black-and-white artwork, yet this thing is also widescreen and cinematic in ways that demonstrate the maturation of the Cygnus sound. With a wicked vocoder vocal that celebrates the label’s many achievements, ‘CPU Records’ is a victory lap tune if ever we’ve heard one.

Central Processing Unit keep it 100 on for this new EP. ‘100% Dope’ by Cygnus is CPU’s 100th catalogue number, and the Texan producer delivers on the promise of the record’s title with a collection of brilliantly unique electro joints.

100 % Dope

Cygnus - 100% Dope

Conflict had never been his thing, he shied away from any form of confrontation, that said he somewhat enjoyed being a spectator. Casually pausing his music to listen into a heated argument on the train; watching from a distance as a friend challenged a drunken stranger getting in her space — as soon as it came to matters of his own though, he froze and retreated. On the fringes was where he'd always choose to remain.

It's been five years since Bintus unleashed anything into the world. Lucky for us he's back to 'cause a right old stink' with a new two-tracker on his own Power Vacuum imprint. It's a gutsy return that, in typical Bintus fashion, hits you smack bang in the face with a dose of acid, electro and rave sonics, from the squelchy staccato punches of title track 'Rag It!' to the acid-driven ride that is 'Millennium Speaker Stand'.

Rag It!
