UPDATE august 2019:

Pleased to say the repress of BA050 will be hitting stores soon. The first in the Transhumanism series went down a storm and has been out of stock for ages. The original pressing was on orange vinyl. This time it’s on black with an orange sticker to match the second in the series and the 3rd which will be released in September.

There are no plans to sell this on Bandcamp. So check the decent stores out there - some taking preorders already.

This one has been spun by Dave Clarke, Helena Hauff, Stingray and Juan Atkins - and many more.

More pure badness from the one and only Mosca – as he returns with two Cedar Wood State mixes that have taken nearly eight months of editing, tweaking and road-testing. The Vector Mix has already been aired in the likes of Leon Vynehall's Essential Mix. Now comes the Volt Mix – a squelchy, loopy, choppy number which spins Battery Brain through a thousand outboard filters, delays and effects. In Mosca's own words, it embodies "melting Miami, Rio, a field just outside the M25 and The Bronx into modern-day London."

Both Vector and Volt "Cedar Wood State" drop on 23rd May (vinyl) and 10th June (digi) via Not So Much.

Coming up on their 25th release in a couple of weeks, Berlin-based label Killekilll, by now, has become a synonymous source for techno and electro in the German capital. Headed up by Nico Deuster, who's been catering to the city's party needs for almost twenty years,  the Killekill brand has gone from a weekly club night at Berghain Kantine to a fully-fledged physical platform with multiple offshoot labels such as Killekill House Trax and Krake. The latter comes as a result of a festival they kicked off of the same name in 2010; a Berlin-based festival for experimental dance music and abstract electronica. Over those twenty-five releases names such as Neil Landstrumm, Snuff Crew, Bill Youngman, Alex Cortex  and Eomac have all been welcomed into the Killekill fold, some of those returning for the Killekill Megahits II compilation which marks this 25th release. The milestone number also comes as a turning point for Killekill as they get set to split the label into a line of several new offshoots writing: “We are constantly getting too many demos full with good music in way too many different styles to squeeze them onto one label. So finally we have come to the point where we will start a line of new labels with different profiles to give ourselves the opportunity to feature even more daring artists and release whatever we like in the most suitable outfit for it." Featuring twelve tracks, we've been given the opportunity to premiere one of those from French producer Umwelt. Owner of two labels (New Flesh and Rave Or Die),with three albums under his belt, Umwelt comes through with a sublime cut of melancholic electro.

PREMIERE : Obergman - Tokamak

“We Are What You Think We Are” is the tenth dispatch from the crew at Lost Soul Enterprises, New York City, USA. This compilation features a whopping 15 artists who together represent all corners of the label’s extended family, with frequent local collaborators paired with past guests of our various parties. It is served with love from us to you on 3 slabs of vinyl released in 3 installments.
Each installment charts a different component of our sound: 10.1 highlights the influences of synthwave and postpunk electronics, 10.2 is comprised of razor-sharp acid and overdriven electro, and 10.3 delves into darker shades of industrial techno. Together, all of these elements loosely sketch our little corner of the sonic universe. With this humble offering we tried to capture and share with you a little sliver of what we’ve found together in hazy rooms full of flashing lights and strange sounds. Here is a track from 2nd installment by NYC based producer Maroje T who is slowly to slowly making his mark in the game after its recent stunning release alongside Annanan on Pinkman !

After years of refining her sound, Mor Elian seems to have landed on a particularly sweet spot between techno and electro. Her latest dispatch, 'Persona Non Grata' is the latest dispatch from the Israeli-born, Berlin-based producer, and it's slated to arrive on May 25 via UK label Hypercolour.  Ahead of the EP's release, we debuted its ominously booming title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Played by the famous group Plaid on their tours and countless other Dj's around the world this was really  a great record for Electro pushing  and developing a new style in the process. Just checkout the Boomkat review if you dont beleive me. some people just dont get Electro but this one rocked the planet. 
"Our favourite New York label, at the forefront of the electro scene 2003, gears up for its autumn onslaught with this four track bass-heavy beat cutter from E.M.S. E.M.S. builds his machines from the transistors up, drums and modular synths sounding distinct from the sound of a thousand lesser talents. 'Colonized' dominates the a side, an acid inflected electro stinger, burning modular synths and a morphing sound which just guarantees floor action. There's a useful drum-a-pella break to wrap up the side, then prepare for two further excursions of quality on the flip. 'Rythmus Machine' will challenge bassbins, the melodies are seductive and again the influence of prime acid strokes makes a welcome contribution to the tune. 'Pit + Lounge' ties it off, with a slightly more downbeat approach, floating vocoder across bassy surges and splendid 
rhythms, wicked track. " Boomkat
Tatum (Mr Velcro Fastener) – “The most inspiring electro record for a long time, really liked the PLT+LOUNGE_EUR track – fast but still pure electro, no drum & bass feel at all!  DDDDDDD was also cool, could’ve been a bit longer though…top quality!” 

Dave Mothersole (Kiss100) – “B1 and B2 are great – will play on radio and give B1 a chance out when I’m feeling brave.  Keep me posted with this label.” 

Scape One (Electrix) – “Another cool slice of analogue action from NYC’s premier electro label!” (Charted #4)

Will Saul (Simple/Fabric) – “Wow!!  This is some of the best electro I’ve heard in years. Totally awesome.  This got a great reaction at the weekend and will stay in my box for many months.” (Charted #3)

Dan Moore (Superconductor) – “Excellent stuff, great sounds, deep and energetic all round.  Definitely a top label – keep ‘em coming.” 

Fink (Ninja Tune/Solid Steel) – “Played A2 on the radio as a soundbed – the rest just falls short for me – epic maybe, but the pressing 
 sounds so sonically dull.” 

Scott McGill (T-Funkshun) – “Rythmus Machine, my favourite cut, sounds good on both speeds!  Prefer it at 33RPM where you can take in 
 its lush atmospheric electro sounds.  Last track is great for Aux88 fans.” 

Dan Bean (Passion FM) – “Good, solid release – nothing particularly crazy going on (or am I missing something?), but a good groove, 
 particularly on the title track, which I played on the show last week.” 

Percy X (Soma) – “Got this from Andy when I was in NY – I’ve been playing the first track on the EMS ever since.”

Phil Kieran (Shine/Bugged Out!) – “Fuckin’ brilliant – really, really good.  I think I’m playing B1, the big sub woofer job, perfect 
 for dropping between techno tracks…more, please more!  Best so far that I have heard from this label.” 

Rennie Pilgrim (TCR) – “Very pleasant electro tracks.” 

A1 People (Hydrogen Dukebox) – “This record kicks ass and I will be playing it in all my sets for the near future!”  

Mat Carter (Dedbeat/Haywire) – “Straight to B2 for me here, nice floaty analogue sounding electro.  Just how I like it.” 

Rick Hopkins (Haywire) – “As you’d expect from Satamile, a deep pulsating beast of a monster.  Top stuff!!” (Will Chart)

Reverand Milo Speedwagon (Kiss100) – “Rythmus Machine has the acid lurking nicely.  Colonized builds really well with a few skittery 
 bits flying around to lighten up the mood – good stuff.” (Charted #20)

Paula Temple (Virtual FM) – “Another great release – will give lots of support.” (Charted #7)
