Forest Drive West joins Delsin and inaugurates their new Mantis offshoot with three tracks that build on his reputation for restrained, immersive atmospheres loaded with soundsystem-ready physicality. As an artist well versed in elegant beat science stretching from techno to jungle and touching on tempos and moods in between, he’s perfectly placed to set out the blueprint for this new chapter in Delsin’s expansive techno legacy.

Forest Drive West - Mantis 01 (DSR/MTS01)

https://intercept.bandcamp.com/album/broken-dreams-solaris

If you’d find yourself wandering around the forests of Breda, a city in the south of The Netherlands, there’s a good chance you would bump in to Ineffekt, an 18-year-old, Utrecht-born DJ and producer. Ineffekt’s first exposition as DJ was in Utrecht, where he gained recognition for his gloomy and trippy sets and soon he began to pick up more gigs around The Netherlands (Basis in Utrecht, Bret, and Radion in Amsterdam and Doornroosje in Nijmegen among others) and developed a broader interest in combining different musical forms, a fascination that never ends for him.

Ineffekt's debut is out on Intercept Records on May 8th. Opener Broken Dreams starts off rough, with a non 4/4 beat and a driving bassline that takes you straight into rave territory. B-side Solaris does the opposite. With its expressive vocal pads and dreamlike melodies, it’s a track that’ll surely bring the listener to a melancholic euphoria. This euphoria is further emphasized in the ‘Empties Our Souls’ version of the track, where the drums are stripped to reveal even more of its ambient backbone.

Ineffekt - Solaris

Tobias., Neel and Sebastian Muellaert as Wa Wu We collaborate with the Konstrukt label for their 12th release. Each producer with a unique and refreshing approach towards electronic music.

Tobias. is up first with a beautiful track that balances on the border of rationality and emotion. His abstract sonic narrative discloses through tightly organized rhythms and noisy percussion. Neel follows up with a cinematic composition that submerges us into otherworldly oddities that guides us slowly through his composition. WaWuWe’s formally known as Sebastian Mullaert relieves the tension. The Swedish composer made a 13-minute long stirring and relaxing B-side track, blessing us with soothing energy for the mind, body and soul.

Release date: 15/05/2020

https://lack.bandcamp.com/album/inside-e-p

Manchester's Lack lands on Livity Sound with the 'Inside' EP following on from recent releases with UK labels Cong Burn and Blank Mind,   

This new record distills the Lack aesthetic across four tracks. The title track's pulsating drift channels Chain Reaction and vintage Kode 9; 'Machine Club' brings a thumping deep techno sprawl; whilst the grit laden 'Rrrush and 'Shifter' build and innovate on UK rhythm styles. The 'Inside' EP is a window in to the world of Lack and a major statement of intent from one of the UK's most promising rising producers.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground music.

"After a few months of silence, we can finally announce what we have been working on for a long time. A full and bold new chapter of 5 new ÆX releases. What started off as a sublabel of Indigo Aera, during the last years has grown out into a fully-fledged 'imprint'. The recipe remains simple: 4 or 5 tracks from various artists pressed on a limited batch of vinyl. A straight forward track selection of machine-made music in the full range consisting of Dj-tool dancefloor anthems to experimental soundscapes and ambient works. A home for talented new producers, but also a place for more incognito sidesteps of established names."

ÆX011 welcomes back Tetelepta, Daniel Jacques and Selfsoul and welcomes Dutch dub techno connaisseur Roger Gerressen to their series. Tetelepta kicks of with a mesmerizing 8 minute floaty downtempo jam where Roger follows up, increasing the pace with a razor-sharp dub techno cut. On the flip, Daniel Jacques brings his emotive house once more topped off by Selfsoul with a fierce techno work-out. A tasteful appetizer for more heat to come in these exciting white label series from Amsterdam.
