Plastik People label head Marc Cotterell steps up to his own imprint here with a vibey EP featuring four cuts that fuse garage, house and jack. Teher are strong US vibes and throwback bassline sounds on the gorgeously smooth and bumping '8 Minutes Of Pleasure' which is defined by a funky sax. 'Soul Glow' has funky samples, rolling drums and some dazzling disco dust sparkled over it while 'This Love Of Mine' gets down to business with a chunky beat, neon pads and a diva vocal to get the hands in the air. Closer 'Get That Feelin' brings the party with more kicking house beats and elastic synths and bass.

Sindh (IDO, Lowless Music) is a project from Louis Rapet which focuses on utilising modular synths and real percussion types to create the ambient spaces and complex grooves that we love so much. 'Gupta Tribes', his first album, is inspired by an old civilization living in India long ago and with it Rapet tries to catch onto the atmospheres of a period where religion and sacred rites represent a big part of the people's lives. There's still a good spread of moods across the eight tracks, from the lively, tribal momentum of 'Sycthians', and 'Spyres', not a million miles from the majesty of KLF's Pure Trance series, to the swampy echoes of 'Ayaka System'.

The REPITCH label started back in 2011. Some 11 years on, and the trio are still very much at the heart of the label's activities, celebrated here with the Dys Functional Electronic Music X compilation

This collection pushes at the edges of the experimental techno genre, whether that be through speed and heaviness (see Buttechno's pummelling 'Ghost Yunost'), smashed up arrangements like opening tune 'Mastice Riddim (VIP Mix)' from Shapednoise and Gabber Eleganza or reconnection with the ruffneck breakbeats that were once an integral part of rave culture (Ascion's 'Plugged' (Heavy-Rotation Mix) and DJ Plant Texture's 'Threat The Music With Respect')

Tantalisingly difficult to categorise, Oiseaux-Tempete return with their sixth studio album, dense and challenging - but also rewarding - as ever and we have the pleasure of premiering one of the cuts from it.
The project is Paris-based but features members of much celebrated acts like SUUNS and Jerusalem In My Heart, and this LP seems to revolve around  centrepiece 'A Man Alone In A One Man Poem', an 11 minute epic of sequencer throb, frantic live drumming and dark poetry.  At the other end of the spectrum, the sonic purity of 'Terminal Velocity' - almost entirely made up of violin notes - and Tortoise-like ambient piece 'Waldganger' provide calming counterpoints.  Unpredictable and unprecedented throughout, however, this is a treat for those who like their music atmospheric and adventurous in equally generous amounts.

A new label out of Mexico, Short Attention Records launches its second release with a five track offering of proper melodic house & techno from Hector Ram with the word 'quality' stamped large upon them
. 'Midnight Sounds' starts things off with the grand rhythmically-building 'Midnight Sounds', almost New Order-esque at times. 'For Our Small Parties' follows, old skool again in flavour, blending subtly employed breaks and a sturdy house framework, then 'Dear Dancefloor', probably the gentlest and most fragile effort here, opens side two. 'On The Road' boasts a more electro feel and Orbital-esque synths, and is deemed worthy of a second airing via a nicely throbbing remix from Detroit's Generation Next closing proceedings.

PREMIERE: Hector Ram & Generation Next - Dear Dancefloor [Short Attention]

I met Francesco in 1996, he usually came to the record store I was working at in Frankfurt (Delirium Records) straight after a good night out at the OMEN on Saturday morning and hung out with his friends for quite some time listening to the new records we dropped (knowing they would function really well ;)).
We've been friends since and occasionally, when I need time out from Berlin and some inspiration, I stay a few days at his place in Dietzenbach (near Offenbach).
Last Saturday, we spontaneously streamed 2 live DJ sets to my Blast Radio channel and on Sunday night, we just streamed another one.
The 3rd one is too good to be leaving the internet after 24 hours, so we uploaded it here for your listening pleasure. We might even upload the other 2 mixes, let us know in the comments if we should do so!

Enjoy! <3

Catch Francesco Menduni at Panorama Bar on 25/26th of February, together with Chez Damier.
Catch me at the same place next weekend, 21/21st of January (hint: it's my favourite Sunday slot)

You can book us for your House party, too!

FF039 - Tigerskin - Anthems EP

01 - Anthem
02 - Jankowski (Restored by Stefan Janson)
03 - La La La Song (Restored by Stefan Janson)

We're back with three fun Tigerskin party grooves.
‚La La La Song‘ was a secret weapon for many Dj's when it came out in Spring 2011.
We've seen big smiles on the dance floor to this one. The ‚lyrics‘ just go ‚La La La‘ throughout the track, forming a simple canon. Originally the vocal was just recorded as example for a planned vocalist but Alex liked it so much, he kept it that way.

‚Jankowski‘ came out in 2014 on the short-lived Electronique label from Manchester and unfortunately stayed widely under the radar. It's a nice groover with classical strings and a cool break that leads you directly to a mountain pasture full of cows.

‚Anthem‘ is a brand new club tune that will shake your dance floors with it's super catchy percussion patterns, ducked cymbals and a 303 line straight from the alien ship. The vocal gives you a direct command on what you should be doing when hearing it: DANCING!

All tracks mixed by Stefan Janson in Berlin.
Mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Italian producer Pascal Nuzzo serves up some affirming vibes on the ‘Hold On’ single for R&S Records, evoking the sounds of classic rave and breakbeat dance in a fresh and contemporary style.

With his influences firmly rooted in the underground electronic movement, Nuzzo has forged a path with his music that has resulted in releases for labels such as Intacto, Primate Recordings and Phobiq.  

‘Hold On’ is featured on the forthcoming R&S Records album ‘In Order To Dance 4.0’, as the label celebrates its 40th anniversary with a show stopping multi artist project featuring Dino Lenny, Vromm, Insider and Saytek amongst others.

Berlin-based maverick Stefan Goldmann returns after the exquisite and sonically spatial delights of his Vector Rituals album with two more upbeat tracks that nod to techno but nevertheless steadfastly refuse to follow its stricter rules. 'In Aggregate' and flip track 'Carob' both throb and surge their way to the run out groove, eschewing the usual array of drum sounds to leave the rhythmic urgency down to other elements and turning the genre's on its head. Which is, let's face it, what he does best.

PREMIERE: Stefan Goldmann - In Aggregate [Macro]
