After a couple of solo EPs to start the label, FAC 3 is comprised of four different artists, each with their own unique sound. Although a mix of up-and-coming and established producers, old and new music, there’s a common thread running through the EP.

First up, Justin Zerbst’s Waverider is an atmospheric nod to Detroit. Unearthed from a 90’s DAT, it’s built around some heavily modulated chords and 808 percussion which carry the track through to its string-laden climax.

Italian mainstay Luca Piermattei’s Venice is distinct end-of-night fare. Haunting pads sit atop a deftly-programmed bass which provides most of the movement over a tight drum groove.

While the A side has a undoubted warmth to it, the B dials things back and ups the intensity with two techier cuts. UK producer Skelter’s first release is a spacious acid groove, with the bassline taking centre stage amidst a nervy backdrop of percussive textures and reverb hits.

Finally, Melbourne’s LOIF rounds things off with the simmering Digiburra; a dense, electro-tinged breakbeat aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

ENT001 - Jos - Absence of Thought EP

The Italian electronic music scene of the 90s was a melting pot where influences from different parts of the world fused to give rise to a unique and interesting sounds. Out of this vibrant scene, Italian producer Livio Foglio released a string of EP’s under different aliases and collaborations spanning all genres of electronic music and beyond.   

We are glad to present four archival tracks rescued from DAT under his less-known Periferico alias. 
The EP opens with two positive dance floor cuts, where progressive influences meet techno flavours. On the flip-side “Ambrasex” takes the listener through an introspective journey with its nostalgic overtones. “Persuasive Flight” closes the EP, leaving the listener in a sweet trance.

Simic - Under Control EP (AVILLE003)
A1. Under Control
A2. Aquarian Age Groove
B1. CinemaScope
B2. Nimbus (Amoeba Mix)

Alphaville Records returns to action with Simic, and his carefully crafted “Under Control EP”. The Brooklyn based producer presents an EP of four understated, spicy groovers, following the Alphaville ethos of having a cut suitable for all flavours of the dance floor. 

The A-side kicks off with the title track “Under Control”, a housey groover guided by one of Simic’s trademark melodies. Next up is “Aquarian Age Groove”, a chuggy, evolving dance floor weapon primed for the bag. On the flip side the sample filled “CinemaScope” leads the way, before the final track “Nimbus (Amoeba Mix)” fully submerges you underwater with its wide hypnotic, rolling rhythms.

[VLS10] VA - The Funki Forest EP

SAIS005.5 — a companion piece to the PMA EP by B-2DEP’T released on SAISEI earlier this year — is a unique one-sided 10” EP featuring a remix by Uruguayan producer Z@p. The Phonoteque resident reworks ‘BSMH’ with a classic 80s electro beat and bassline, funking up the groove for all the breakdancers in the crowd. The original vocodered lyrics — “Body/Sonic/Mental/Health” — resonate today as much as they did back in 1993, acting as a mantra for a new rave generation.

"Gloomy futurism, sharp snares, enthralling melodies and rich basslines, Dj Lo-Tek’s is @sohrab_dj alias for off-kilter hardware based jams. The debut release for The Comfort is a contemporary dance EP in four stages. Music made with basic equipment in a low life area of town that, surprisingly, is in itself not so basic at all. The record kicks off with “Bonus Beats”, a uplifting track that is sure to capture those special moments on the floor that you can’t put into words. It follows up with the A2 cut “Reznet”, going into more emotive territory, driven home by a powerful groove. The flip side hosts “Powa”, the heaviest track on the EP, designed for peak time action: big, hypnotic and playful in all the right ways. Ending the record is the appropriately named italo-disco influenced “Amber Haze”, a showstopper for intimate and bigger rooms alike."
