Die Orakel long time collaborator @edward gracefully reappears with a three track emission called Time Stretch. Edward’s appliance of the titular technique is not restricted to various sonic elements at all, as it extends to the tracks’ mental notes and their trajectories beyond the digital realm. 

Time Stretch fills the entire side A with vibrant sonic elements, a warm bassline along an eerie pad, all on top of a straight and punchy bass drum. La Grotta’s signature melody, plus chirps and cowbells, inject a slight touch of exotica to the musical meta-data, while time stretch artefacts refer back to a befittingly themed EP. Finally, the undercurrents of Black Sea evolve along a modulated melodic pad, a pulsating bass and beat structure, and a light 90s IDM morse figure on top of frequency sweeps.

ST016 - JONZON - TESTOSTERONE EP (SPACE TEDDY)

The computer screen stared back at her; as blank as it was when she started a few days ago. Inspiration just wasn't coming at the moment, her head was empty of thoughts, she couldn't even muster up a sentence. Each morning, in her sleep deprived state, she'd give herself a mental pep talk - today was going to be the day it would flow... But they didn't seem to work and now she'd got herself in too deep; it had become a task in itself to unglue her eyes from the screen. She had to prize herself away, at least just for a moment, perhaps then the answers she was searching for would finally become clear.

For Those That Knoe's mission has been the same for its near decade-long operation. Dedicated to shining a light on obscure and under-the-radar artists of recent past, the Boe Recordings sub-label has helped to revive music that hasn't gotten its due recognition first time round. For their next release, rather than looking to the past, they hone in on a contemporary artist who has been bubbling below the surface in his home of Slovenia.

Vid Papez, AKA Vid Vai, joins the label for his debut LP Laminar Flow: a collection of tracks that tip the hat to early 90s IDM, UK bleep and breakbeat. His classically trained background - he plays violin, lute and guitar - comes through in each track's composition. They're precise, intricate and flow like water.

PREMIERE: Vid Vai - Incubation Theory [For Those That Knoe]

The drugs kick in and it's time for a rampage. Arms shoot up, feet stomp down, the track shifts to another gear. An angel whispers: 'Don't stop...Don't you cry.' Creed or cliche? Ritual Poison/Batrachian founder BufoBufo knows where the line is drawn and he walks it like a boss. On our latest missile, the central tenets of rave coalesce across four broken-yet-beautiful tracks filled with cosmic jazz wisdom and ragged jungle euphoria. A galaxy in the palm of your hand.

BufoBufo - Green Portal [DT012] - Out Now

In his world, slow and steady always won the race. He had no desire to charge ahead, he always lost his footing and ended up trailing. Sometimes this was to the annoyance of others, he moved at his own speed and that's just how things were - no amount of pushing or rushing him would change that. This way of operating was to his detriment though, he couldn't expect others to live life at a snails pace otherwise he'd be left behind... 

What was originally intended as a one off compilation to celebrate five years of Rhythm Section's label arm, has now become a flagship series that spotlights stalwarts and emerging talent from around the world. SHOUTS returns for instalment number three, a whopping 29 track release that touches on all the musical cornerstones of the Peckham-based label and party series.

For this one the project has transitioned into a digital only release, which will allow them to shout about more new artists than ever before. This time they make pitstops all over, taking in everything from jazzy hip hop via Berlin's JuJu Rogers to percussive rhythms from DC's James Bangura and bright progressive house from London-based producer Manami, among so many others...

ES.Q - FRIEND ZONED EP (PXU002)

Pre-order: 
https://sevenhillsrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

This is a reissue of a short-lived and obscure UK dance music label. A compilation of tracks featured on releases across 3 EP’s between 1991 and 1993 incorporating recently emergent dub techno and progressive acid house sounds. Nation of Noise was conceived in the early 90's, following a meeting of minds between the producer Django and vocalist Jon Martin at the legendary Soho institution: The Brain. 

Plate 1 is a fully remastered reissue of the first Nation of Noise record - Xes Noiz, featuring 4 locked grooves. 

Plate 2 takes two tracks off both the Lockgroove and Super Bubble EP's. One side is smooth, after-hours deep house whilst the other reaches for two progressive, acid cuts. 

Fun facts: 

- Feel the Joy received airtime by Jon Peel on Radio 1 and Elvis Stole My Space Hopper was a favourite of Colin Faver and Colin Dale on KISS FM 
- Kris Needs awarded Xes Noiz record of the week in NME, putting it in the same group as Weatherall and Aphex! 
- Riley Reinholdt raved about Xes Noiz in legendary German publication Spex and travelled to U.K. to interview Jon and Django. 
- Piano Tilt was a playlist favourite of Derrick May 
- Progressive acid house pioneers like Scott Hardkiss began lauding the Nation of Noise imports on the West-Coast sound systems of the San Francisco Bay Area. 
- The A3 of Xes Noiz was a minor hit on the emerging jungle/breakbeat scene. DJ's used to pitch it up before Metalheadz and Photek really defined that abstract sound. 

Nation of Noise 91 - 93 is the first of many records to be released by Seven Hills.

Koga - Hive Mind EP

'Archive – A Frankfurt Catalogue 91-94' is ready for pre-order now: https://dieorakel.bandcamp.com/album/archive-a-frankfurt-catalouge-91-94. Release date is 27 November 2020.

02 Ongaku – Mihon #2
03 Alter Ego – Tanks Ahead
04 Redeye ‎– Ride With Aracknid
05 Sieg Über Die Sonne – Produkt Des Lichtes 
06 Ralf Hildenbeutel – Looking Beyond
07 Solar Eclipse – Zero Degree
08 Atom Heart – Milagro 

Frankfurt am Main has been on the german map of electronic dance music for arguably a handful of decades, characterized by vibrant scenes of emerging artists and DJs, and a (more often than not) industrious habit, which became notorious over the course of the 1990s. The crucial years of 1991 thru 1994, in which genres increasingly became sophisticated and attributed with regional sound signifyers, saw many protagonists getting into gear for international careers, while others ditched middle-class life perspectives for making a living with music related activities. 

'Archive – A Frankfurt Catalogue 91-94' is a selective, rather cerebral sonic cross section of Frankfurt am Main. Unlike other compilations based on cities, Archive does not claim to be representative—it is hyper-specific and curated to emphasize the emergent sound of an era, which became a topic of special interest in recent years. Experimental, bleepy acid and techno, science fiction house music with trance seeping in around the edges—the protagonists featured on this curated Compilation represent many of Frankfurt’s burgeoning scenes back then.

The tracklist might as well be read as a rhizomatic, yet partial analysis of the Frankfurt scene around that time. The first track sees two pioneers of Frankfurt’s pre house and techno tape scene, Pink Elln (aka Tobias Freund) and Atom Heart team up as Phobia, followed by a short-lived triad called Ongaku which consisted of Atom Heart and the DJ duo of Ata and Heiko MSO. Those DJs were to co-found the Delirium record store and start their own family of record labels soon after, joined by two guys hailing from close-by Darmstadt: Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke. Roman and Jörn initially created their Alter Ego project as an outlet for releases on Harthouse; an infamous label, run by Sven Väth amongst others, which also released countless productions created by Ralf Hildenbeutel. Redeye’s and Solar Eclipse’s tracks had been released on after 6am point, a label that had once been run out of the lively and creative hub at Delirium record store. The project Sieg Über Die Sonne had been started by Tobias Freund and Martin Schopf (aka Dandy Jack) in the late 1980s, both close friends to Atom Heart, who completes this compilation with a rare house track.
