Artist: Leo Leal @leo-leal
Track: Time Oscillation 
Title: Antimateria 
Label: Time Passages 

We jump from Mexico past to Mexico present, where Leo Leal is making up-to-date techno steeped in the same sounds as DECADA 2 three decades earlier. There’s an unmistakeable new beat current running through these four tracks, perhaps most ostentatiously in the brooding bassline of ‘Time Oscillation’. It’s a worthy accompaniment to Leal’s 2xLP ‘Fractal Magic’, also just out on Time Passages. Both releases reflect the style and musical philosophy of label owner Binh and, as you might expect, the pull toward the middle of the dancefloor is utterly irresistible. Speaking of the dancefloor, Binh got to know Leo Leal’s music at Dimensions festival in 2017 when he played before him. It’s fair to say he was impressed!

Artist: Decada 2
Track: Dr. Rhythm 
Title: La Noche Del Atomo 
Label: @philoxenia

This astonishing compilation of music by the late Mexican artist Mateo Lafontaine has been lovingly curated by Luigi Di Venere and Neu Verboten of the label Philoxenia (translated from Greek as “friend to the stranger”). They present us with a collection of Lafontaine’s recordings made on emblematic synthesisers and drum machines in the period 1988–1990.

Across these six compact tracks it’s possible to detect the vibrations then emanating across the Atlantic from clubs in Belgium, Germany and the UK: the military-industrial march of EBM, new beat and coldwave (‘Música Electrónica’, ‘La Voluntad De Dios’, ‘Dr. Rhythm’); the laid-back swagger of early acid house (‘Psycho Dance’); new-agey proto-trance (‘Holbox’); and the distinctive robofunk of Sheffield bleep, vocals dripping in sweat and seduction (‘Extasy Bondage’).

This is both a genre exercise and a brilliant portrait of an individual.

Recorded live in Arizona, Jock Club's GhostlyCast mix, called Babylon, is said to reflect the rising DJ's current interests while also tying in a few of his favorite classics—the spirits of techno, acid, and house are woven through his hour-plus session. Jock Club might best be known for his work with psych-punk outfit Destruction Unit, but the producer's take on deep, moody dance music has been making waves in its own right. GhostlyCast #60 doesn't feature any of his music, however, instead focusing on a wide array of eras and artists. From Randomer and DJ Steaw to Paul Johnson and Kenny Dope, the selections outline a DJ with impeccable taste and a firm understanding of how to move a dancefloor.

Sau Poler - Orquestron (Zabala Remix )

Our favourite bothy botherers Mac-Talla Nan Creag (comprised of Hoch Ma Toch, Other Lands and Lord Of The Isles) return to Firecracker Recordings, channeling ancient rites, the mysteries of the Scottish landscape and its elements through technologies both old and new for your listening pleasure.

This time round the archaeological work of Forestry Commission Scotland at Dun Deardail in Glen Nevis, and the links between that site and the ancient Celtic myth ‘The Sorrow Of Derdriu’ provided fertile ground for new exploration and response. Accompanying the music once again will be a lush booklet containing some of the stunning imagery that results from the work FCS have done there, all packaged and silk-screened with the usual finesse we've come to expect from Firecracker Recordings and their chief visionary House Of Traps.

Captured in part in a high vaulted medieval church, then in home studios, bouncing ideas back and forth over the internet, MTNC have once again drawn on field recordings, traditional instrumentation, analogue electronics and the simple power of the human voice to create a shimmering and expansive song cycle.

Whereas the first album was borne out of an intense period of field trips and whisky fuelled jam sessions in brochs and had a loose approach overall, the second is perhaps more focussed in its themes relating to the ancient tale - love, war, beauty and tragedy all intertwined - and they arguably go deeper this time, conjuring up something of the Fourth World feel, by way of the Firth Of Forth.

With additional contributions from Professor John Kenny - whose primal Zummoesque playing on a range of horns including a giant conch shell and a replica of the ancient Deskford carynx underpins several tracks on the album - and Eva Sutherland (daughter of Other Lands) who provides a reading from the myth at the very beginning, this is an album that not only carries the heaviness of history but also looks to the light of the future.'

The history of underground electronic music is littered with inspired releases that, for one reason or other, slipped through the cracks. It would be fair to say that Trans-4M’s 1992 debut album, Sublunar Oracles, is one such release.

The full-length originally appeared on Belgian dance music megalith Buzz, an imprint whose output tended towards the more commercial end of the dance music market. Initially, Sublunar Oracles failed to make much impact and was championed only by a small group chill-out DJs; these days, it’s rightly considered a lost classic and one of the most overlooked albums of the ambient house era.

It’s certainly an inspired set with a story to tell. It was the product of the blossoming studio relationship between brothers Stefan and Dimitri Van Elsen. The former, the elder of the two, had been making a living as a club DJ on the Belgian scene since the early 1980s, taking up electronic music production following years spent playing experimental and industrial fare on local pirate station Radio Centraal. Dimitri, meanwhile, spent his days studying jazz piano and his evenings working on tracks.

The chance to release a collection of their bedroom productions came via a friend who worked for Buzz. The Van Elsen brothers grasped the opportunity, sequencing and tweaking a set of evocative, otherworldly tracks that had initially been written and produced over the best part of four years.

Despite Stefan’s status as a working club DJ, Sublunar Oracles largely looked towards the vibrant chill-out and ambient house scenes for inspiration, combining their own manipulated synthesizer sounds, dreamy jazz chord progressions and gentle beats with a smorgasbord of spoken word samples and home-made field recordings.

The Antwerp-based brothers designed the set as a concept album of sorts, with a clear narrative thread running through the album’s eight intoxicating and ethereal tracks. However, they never made this concept public, and it’s down to a new generation of listeners to piece together the story themselves.

26 years on from its initial release, the Van Elsens’ lost classic is getting a new lease of life via a Safe Trip reissue that stretches the original’s eight inspired tracks over two heavyweight slabs of wax. Beginning with the breakbeat-driven bliss of “Arrival”, the album bobs and weaves its way through deep ambient house, sublime horizontal soundscapes, saxophone-laden electronic mysticism, dusty downtempo grooves and glassy-eyed positivity.
