Lifted from this robust five-tracker, Lastrack's explosive rave churner 'Axel Phif Part 2' @bfdmrec reels out an orgasmic compound of muscular jungle breaks and bubbling electro sequences a la AFX and pulverises it wildly.

Lastrack - Axel Phif Part 2 [Brothers From Different Mothers]

Cleveland is forever in search of the brown note. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s 'Tusk' is a beautiful paradox—rhythm programs that churn like the inner workings of a grandfather clock, unmistakably mechanical, yet fashioned through muted analogue instrumentation that paints a deceptively organic picture. The crystallized jangle of FM synth voices toy with the softened drum patterns and vibrant animal-like chord gestures over nearly seven minutes of splendor. On side B, 'Aku' digs further into mysticism, manifesting digital jungle themes, cleverly abstracted through erratic bleeps, distant tribal drums, atonal flutters and synthetic bird calls. The cinematic quality of Clevelands production shines through both tracks, but its 'Aku' that sweeps us from reality to embark on a moonlit expedition in search long lost treasures, proving Cleveland a virtuoso skilled in building complex narratives with sound. These two songs will modulate your frequencies.

Weeoow. Mworrp. Bleomp. Nothing sounds quite like a 303. Enthralled by its mysterious timbre, a band of daredevil explorers travels far and wide in search of the secrets of its squelchy goodness. Real Grooves invites you to tag along on these Adventures in Acid.

Meet the team:

Stalwart String Methods (USA) leads the way with the mesmerising “Ansatz”. The newcomer’s debut release sees rousing chords and rugged drums give way to an enchanting acid melody that will frolic in your head for days.

“Crypt” is a typically unruly affair from the Intrepid Information Flash (FR). With haphazard hardware drums, whirlwind synths and surely the squelchiest 303 of 2018, you’ll want to hold on to your hat for this one.

After 2016’s storming “Encounter” EP on Endless Illusion, Daredevil Dircsen (DE) steps up to Real Grooves with the moody “In My Zone”. A squirming 303 lurks over slow, syncopated kicks for some proper eyes-down atmospherics.

Endeavouring Ed Knight (NL) (a new alias of a certain Dutch techno wunderkind) brings the journey home in proper raucous style. “Westzeedijk Acid Incidents Part 3” is 8 minutes of hardware grit, recorded live in one take with an acid line that really bites.

Next up on the ever-eclectic XVI Records, a shadowy figure steps into the spotlight: enter the mysterious Captain Over, whose dark yet soulful bruk-infused tracks soundtrack the next stage of their voyage towards the sun.  For his debut outing, Captain Over calls on the abstract vocal stylings of the legendary Trim (Roll Deep, 1800 Dinosaur) on opening track ‘SICK’. 

Showcasing why he’s one of the most iconic and forward-thinking MC’s to grace the mic, Trim’s dulcet tones twist through a jungle of shuffled beats and subterranean sub-bass, an eerie child-like melody drifting overhead.

Captain Over - Sick (Feat. Trim)

Taken from the ‘Persona Non Grata’ EP, out 25th May 2018 on Hypercolour.

Returning to Hypercolour with the ‘Persona Non Grata’ EP, Mor Elian continues to flourish with four killer cuts of electro and techno infused goodness. 

Following 2016’s “Drum Vortex” EP, Elian has clocked up superb releases for Delta Funktionen’s Radio Matrix label, Delft and her very own Fever AM imprint.  On the ‘Persona Non Grata’, Elian serves up dusty electro beats, icy synths, headsy techno flavours and bottom end funk!
