12" vinyl & digital EP out now: mechatronica.bandcamp.com/album/ocular-unity

All tracks from the release: https://soundcloud.com/mechatronicamusic/sets/innershades-ocular-unity

Innershades presents a heavy and vibrant trip through electro, new beat, techno and acid on Ocular Unity, the 12th release on our main label.

Following up on his 'Aalst To Charlois' rave weapon released on last year on MTRON005, the Belgian producer continues to push his signature sound in new directions, maintaining harmony and once again underlining his undeniable strength in producing hypnotizing electronic music for the floor.

From the A-side's fast paced force in 'Ocular Design' and 'Cycle of Life', to the introspective journey 'Zuiderpark' and all-powerful slow drive of 'End Life', Innershades comes full circle on Ocular Unity and adds another stellar record to his already impressive discography.

Marshall Applewhite - Better Do Not taken from VA - Vortex Traks X (VTX010)

Detroit based producer/DJ, Marshall Applewhite is a man of many hats. His aliases include OktoRed, Cocky Balboa, Star Machine and Secret Shower, to name a few. His sound, albeit jarring at times, encompasses the gritty nature of the city he was brought up in. Slow low, acrid, low frequency soundscapes are all apart of what makes Applewhite unique in an overpopulated world of generic music. With a slew of releases out on Detroit Underground, How To Kill, Clan Destine, Clone and his own labels YoSucka! and Junted, Marshall is showing no sign of slowing down. 

If edm is drug music, Marshall Applewhite is the anti drug. Every 16 year old on molly would run from this stuff. Every person who understands underground dance music though, they will get it, they will love it.

Returning to Daniel Steinberg's Arms & Legs imprint for their third collaboration, Kristin Velvet and Felix Da Housecat unite for 'Cats Love Velvet III' - a fresh two-tracker that's set to drop on July 12.

Ahead of the release, this excellent production duo has handed over the EP's lead tune 'Not Hard' - a brisk, arid and ominous tune with a tense piano melody that's pushed up your spine by a raw percussion and a brawny kick.
