Premiere: Matrefakt - Short Cut To Nowhere [Abandon Silence]

Heady nights spent gyrating under flashing lights to pulsing rhythms, writhing freely as the sweat forced your hair to stick firmly to your forehead. These were all but memories now; the distant dream of clubland was a blur, a nostalgic trip that circled the mind but couldn't touch down in reality. But their imaginations kept them going until that first dance back because it would be one to remember for years to come.

After a brief intermission from releasing records to share Ece Özel's 'Expansion of Change' mix cassette into the world, Berlin's Warning are heating things up again with a new VA bringing together established and mysterious producers, forming the "North Rhine-Westphalia Trance Alliance". That probably gives you a clue to the rave-imbued sonics you can expect across the release, with trance, tribal, breakbeat and electro cuts from Phaser Boys, Chaos Milieu, DJ-Ungel and Zonza Grind — heed the label's warning (pun intended): they are "not responsible for any fire damage in your ear canals".

PREMIERE: Phaser Boys - Bialetti Break [Warning]

ANIMALS009 sees French producer Benoit B make first contact with Melbourne’s Animals Dancing after releases on Into The Light, Berceuse Heroique, Unthank, Versatile and his own Banlieue. 

On ‘We Come In Peace’, Crystalline FM synthesis meets tight drums across four PSY FI tracks that showcase the producer’s shapeshifting style.   ‘Drums Symphony’ layers undulating rhythms from crisp drums, Arps, FM Bells & SFX that ebb & flow, building to a driving dance floor trip. ’La Retraite Des Rockers’ conjures Sakamoto & Vangelis in ’82 with eratic perc, warped metallic sfx & ominous pads that find balance with a glowing synth lead & syncopated bass.

The title track, ’We Come In Peace’ is a balearic trance stomper where swirling 303, pitch bending leads & glistening synths cascade across a pulsing bassline. 'Dreelkrugz Conquest' is lysergic mid tempo electro with gated synths hovering above a growling baseline and flutters of heavily affected synthwork. 

“If you are alien and reading this then come and take me from earth”.

PREMIERE : Manuel Darquart - 89 When Things Were Fine (Demi Riquisimo Remix)

"Truckupidööm is rolling on basalt stones with an hypnotic inertia of a sensual mileage. The pleasures of trembling releases from her body plastic and more plastic, spring and another spring, metal and another metal. She sheds the industry’s father from herself and turns to mother earth, to the sand hall, to the whistles of camels, to the reddish threshold where sunrises are a burning fire, and silence is an azure eternity."

Individually Tel Aviv-based producers Olsvanger and MYKI have been firing out expertly crafted productions that connect the dots between their love of progressive trance and pumping classic house. It's no surprise that when they come together under the guise of Babylon X, the output is something to marvel at, and that goes for Truckupidööm,  the project's first full EP. Dropping via their own co-run label, Tofistock, the five tracks fuse the pair's love for old school house, trance, jazz and Mediterranean Arabic sounds, culminating in a batch of  "spooky desert rollers".

PREMIERE: Babylon X - Milliard Prisma Cliche [Tofistock]

Track: Amygdala Tongue Wobble

Next up on X-Kalay it’s fresh heat from one of the finest among a current generation of prog-inclined producers. Guy Contact’s ‘Out of My Head (Into My Body)’ speaks to a sublime, utopian conception of dancefloor utility; dance music primed to achieve ascension through collective physical experience.
Navigating mystic, offbeat zones, Contact sets out his stall from the start. ‘Out of My Head (Into My Body)’ is as pristine as it is expansive, inducing trance states as trippy flourishes oscillate over driving rhythm in impeccable lysergic style. Then, with another dose of melt-on-the-mind groove, a radiant bliss-out arrives in the beautifully buoyant flex of ‘Sacred Mist’.
Taking its name from a part of the brain associated with emotional processes, ‘Amygdala Tongue Wobble’ propels into fractal introspection with dense, insistent pulse. Finally, ‘Optimystic’ finds Contact channelling new age spirits as he assumes the role of innerzone healer - wide-eyed downtempo to close things out.
