Session Victim have become something of a phenomenon since their
inception a little over 12 years ago. They bring a sense of fun and unrivalled energy to their live shows and DJ sets which instantly connects with any crowd in front of them and their charming disregard for musical boundaries ensures that you never know quite what to expect or where they’re heading next. When not feeding their addiction to pinball machines, the duo of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling are constantly creating, keeping things fresh by forming labels such as Retreat run by Hauke and Quarion, Pen & Paper run by the duo themselves and Hauke’s new baby Save The Books.

Last year’s Needledrop LP for Night Time Stories saw them step away from the dance floor and head into deep, downtempo mode to great effect, and now we’re proud to welcome Session Victim back to Delusions Of Grandeur for the release of Two Crowns which sees them edging back towards clubbier sounds, albeit with their trademark live instrumentation and highly musical approach.

The EP gives us three original tracks which move smoothly from the
lowslung funky wobble of the title track with it’s stabbing analogue synths and house not house live drum groove, through to the lush, expansive sounds of Village Youth. Once again, Session Victim have created a collection of tracks which give us a sense of nostalgia for early 90’s Fila Brazilia/Solid Doctor records on the influential Porky label. A world where trippy spoken word samples, cut up breakbeats, deep pads and sine wave basslines live in perfect harmony and a sense of optimism flows through every note. Let’s face it, we can all do with some of that right now!

Fugatúr - You & Me

In the midst of the night in an ancient industrial cellar: sweaty bodies moved mechanically to strange repetitive sounds. Lights in colors and blurry stroboscopic pictures moved with the sound. While a misty smoke blurred the sights.

House legend, ​Niles Cooper​ jumps aboard the ​ROOS​ train with four glistening floor fillers on ​Notes From The Underground​.

After a 2020 that saw him self release a genre-spanning debut album as well as an EP on Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse​, and previous releases on his own label, ​Pale Springs Records​, the Danish producer lands on Lobster Theremin affiliate label, ​Running Out Of Steam.

The twinkling keys & uplifting vocals of Florida Keys transport you right to the riviera while Oldtown Dubs scattered sax licks and bouncy chords make for a more floor-oriented affair.

On the flip, stripped-down piano cut My House ramps up the energy while 6.A.M. Sunrise is a warm cruise to the end of the record.

‘Notes From The Underground’ drops Friday 26th February, via Running Out Of Steam.

ROOS006 // Niles Cooper - Notes From The Underground EP

Fast Forward Production's and Mala Junta's DJ Tool serves up over an hour of finely selected old-school techno, warehouse-shaking breakbeats and tripped out electronics for this week's LT podcast. Get strapped in!

In DJ Tool's words:
This time a journey through a lot of different stuff. Some old-school dry and scratchy techno records, some tracks from friends and a bit of free Tek, mixed up with breaky stuff, DnB and other weird stuff.  This mix pretty much mirrors how it feels inside my head these days.
