Viennese techno imprint Bare Hands is pushing its rugged, warm analogue sound towards new territories with‚ European Moral Standards'. Following up their first release, Bare Hands opt for rather eclectic Soundscapes, yet keeping analogue roughness and a spontaneous feel in their focus. 

On side A, Herla's offshoot Sedvs, leaves the comfort zone of 4x4 with ‚Ritual Purity', delivering a sonic exploration of rough, stabbing waves of synths embedded in gloomy, washed-out drums, yet keeping one foot in the club with ‚Protect and Serve', a true 'left of the field' delicacy, meant to cook up the floor right before the main dish is served. 

The B Side, host to mysterious outfit Stock Projects, kicks off with‚ ,Same 1', a toolish, subby basement workhorse driven by a relentless kick topped with hypnotizing hats to send any floor off into lock step. ‚Same 2' however, provides a bouncy neo-technoid cut, reminiscing the gems of a lost era without stepping too far away from the dodgy, sweaty dancefloor it calls home. 

Bare Hands'‚ European Moral Standard' EP arrives in a limited run of black vinyl and includes hand numbered postcard artwork on raw 250g paper.

IMYRMIND debuts on Tartelet with a four-tracker ranging from banging MPC techno to contagious Latin house and laidback jazzy wonk.

After finishing a degree in architecture and relocating to Berlin earlier this year, IMYRMIND stepped up his game with the release of his solo debut on Astro & Graef’s Money $ex imprint. This November will see the release of the beat-smiths second solo venture on Tartelet Records.

The opening track ‘Tong Po’ is IMYRMIND’s take on techno, inspired by the villain from Jean Claude Van Damme’s 1989 cult classic Kickboxer. A heavy pitched kick drum, fuzzy melodies with generous use of tape delay and a badass bass line dropping around the three-minute mark makes this a peak time candidate.
‘Wanja 9000’ slows down the pace. Dusty Jazz samples and wonky beats with sloppy turntable cuts add a nice live feel to the track. 

On the b-side ‘Upturn’ sets the mood with classic salsa percussion infused with an epic brass and piano hook that could very well stem from the infamous Palmieri brothers or one of their contemporaries. Embrace your inner Latino and follow your hips.
The last track of the record ‘Number Seven’ completes the circle with venturous drum programming, layered melodies and plenty of “early morning ambiance”. 

IMYRMIND is scheduled for a three-week Australia, NZ and Asia tour in November alongside long-time collaborator Glenn Astro.

Akkord on Spotify: found.ee/AkkordSPO

Akkord return with their first original music since June 2014’s ‘HTH020’ EP. ‘Obelisk’ is a study in rhythm and frequencies, suspended in space.

On the minimalistic ‘Monolith’, a single element is moulded into a 3-dimensional sound sculpture, an aural illusion of a lead weight that floats away into the ether.

In contrast, ‘Megalith’ has a pulsing gravity, drawing in laser-guided blasts of bass, broadsides of pitched-down jungle, and echoes of distant birdsong and telecommunications as it journeys through the static of space.

Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.

Open minded freely executed tracks from a juvenile soul(s?) with unlimited creativity. Music with the rare beauty of uncalculated expressions of the inner mind, still fresh and unconscious and unaware of the effects and the possibilities coming out of these outings. Powerful pureness!

Sean Pierce debuts on Mannequin Records with an intense dark / techno modular synth 6 tracks EP. 

Currently operating out of Portland, Oregon, Sean is one half of ASSS, who put out two acclaimed singles on Mannequin Records parent label Haunted Air Records. 

One of the most fascinating elements of Sean's artistic principle is his absolute lack of propriety over his artistic work, which is a beautiful and radical approach. He encourages people to check out his set-up at shows to see what he's concocted. A performance is enjoyable in part because he's able to share information, for he believes a collective pool of idea sharing and advancements into how people think and what they're doing is "really important for the creative community.

Sean is interested in the rearranging of elements within a performance: taking sounds that he or someone else has made and sending them through his particular process. Specific categorization is not applicable to his sound projects, but he says there is something industrial about it, a metallic quality that is, of late, satisfying. The most appropriate articulation of his music might be: the percussive use of synthesizers.

Leeds-based @Ziasounds departs from D’n’B past to killer effect on this EP for Twin Turbo.

Void marks a clear departure for the UK producer, who manages a fresh take on big-room tech-house. ‘Recall' nods to the badman bass, vocal cuts and atmosphere of underground legends like Joy O and Boddika, while ‘Fracture’ somehow manages to refine and combine the ferocious tense builds of vintage Proxy, with the club-friendly groove and massive bass of a chugging Dirty Bird record. Crowdpleasers.

Techno journeyman @AlexiDelano turns in an excellent remix of Fracture, making a long overdue return to the Canadian label that released his LP a full 15 years ago. Full circle, dope as ever.

Supported by all your favourite DJ's, from Michael Mayer & Mano Le Tough to Justin Martin, Slam & Brodinski.

Trans A.M's (that full stop is important) debut offering is a class act. Not only is the Speechless EP a twosome of forceful techno guzzlers at its core, but whatever other influences they've shovelled in only seem to strengthen the deal. Example #1 being the title track. "Speechless" knits together broken, bass driven, robotic grooves with traces of dancehall dem bow riddim with a disastrous outcome. Catch it when it lands on January 30 via SPE:C.

Mikael Seifu - How To Save A Life (Vector Of Eternity)

After gracing our Copenhagian stage last summer, Max Graef's right-hand man Kickflip Mike [Joschka Seibt] now joins the Money $ex flanks alongside Glenn Astro, Delfonic, IMYRMIND, Hodini and Alex Seidel as the creator behind their fifth release. Joschka housing his debut EP with the homemade Graef-Delfonic-Astro imprint is a logical move, following on from his previous Box aus Holz dabblings. "Vanilla Seibt" is our top pick from M$R 005's five original cuts – gritty drum distortion grounding the celesta of scalic chimes and whistles above, upholding the well versed groove that the Money $ex / Tartelet / Box aus Holz / ava. crews are now known and loved for.

LIES - 070 - Inhalants - Deep Florida (LP Snippets)

Divinity is in itself inherent
Body mind a vehicle to make apparent
Make apparent this inherent beauty within
Indispensable, judicious, unnameable, perfect n’
vicious.
Through us, it moves us, n’
Through us, it soothes us.

And we are but the mask
Flesh bones thinking,
Ego personalities sinking
As the divine Self remains unblinking in
Space-time, our universal rhyme
Whose only purpose is to allow the divine
To once again see itself

For once energy became pure and undiluted
The consciousness of the world became isolated,
Secluded.
Lonely, infinite, blissful, non-existent
Something had to persist with it…

Thus the story of creation
Space, time, matter, creatures there-on after
No not real, tangible like we perceive
But we are the dreams of divinity
What it wishes to see and
What it needs to be

And as an ego-less sea of information and energy
Don’t believe that the divinity wants us worship thee
Not in the way most humans see at least

All one must do is drop everything we
think makes me me and you you
Flesh bones in space time
Consciousness hidden somewhere in the folds of
this universal rhyme

So the sooner we sit and relax
Unwind from our personal stories
Emotions, perceptions, pursuits of glory
Purge from our heads until like thread
The web of the divine self is spread

The sooner we will see what it means to be
And by then,
you’ll realize time never took you there in the first place
Because the feeling of that moment has existed for eternity

So for this moment as the next,
for this divine story as the rest,
For this beautiful happening in the eternal now,
I’ll continue my journey as a believer,
And in this moment, as the rest,
I’ll ever search for the dreamer.
