I can't remember it, but this must have been how it felt.

This is one of the tracks I often play at the end of my dj sets, I did the conga pattern with my Tempest :)

I AM MY OWN DATABASE

Cardopusher kicks off Part Two with the fantastic 'Disobedience' (feat. Lbeeze) a slow-motion drum workout that is like dark disco mangled through a psychedelic filter, with robotic vocals and stiff arps jerking your body. 'Abyss Antidote' is then a flurry of drum breaks and electro bass, frazzled synths and whipping hits that keep you on the edge of your seat. Darkness abounds on the gritty 'Initial Decay' (ft. Lbeeze), which layers up taught drums and hits with spraying synths that come from a dystopian planet. Closing out this epic mini-series is 'Mutant Brain', a cyborg techno meltdown with manic acid for company.

Cardopusher - Abyss Antidote

The way he moved was fast and furious, gliding across the room with wild movements and an electric pace. He landed each step expertly in time yet at any given moment looked as if he might recklessly spin beyond control and crash. Some called him a psycho dancer, others believed he was once a ballerina who had lost his way. The music rattled and echoed in the small chamber as he leapt between the walls in time with the persuasive percussion and dazzling drums. This was his moment, it was beautiful in its relentless chaos. 

Iron Curtis is set to release a mini album split across two parts via way of Hudd Trax. The music featured is club built and dancefloor ready, however we chose perhaps one of the most pensive and reflective pieces on the new release to feature. It's elegant and tasteful, subtle and harmonic.

UZ-MI Records serves up more heat straight out of Windsor, and once again label founder James Vernon is behind the five fantastic originals.

Under his own name but also as part of Money House Club with co-founder Rick Silver and Second Move with Dario de Marco, Vernon has amassed a fine discography of cultured house and techno with an innovative, experimental vibe. His quality material keeps on coming on his newly formed UZ MI imprint with five previous outings on the label that picked up support from the likes of Fred P, Man Power, Carsten Jost, Duckett and many more.

First up is 'Darts', a fantastic nine minute techno opus that is deep, sparse yet heavy. Dubby chords and watery sounds detail this most firmly rooted of grooves. The darkly alluring 'Tee Hee Hee' is a raw and prickly cut with jacked up percussion but scuffed kicks and a low-key vibe that is perfect for gritty back room spaces.

The dystopian moods continue on 'Wave Back', but this time with more sci-fi melodies and molten chords adding colour to a low slung groove that slowly but surely gets you in a trance. It is the sound design and unusual textures that elevate these tracks above purely functional fodder, and that's the case on the more intense and direct 'I'm Leaving The House,' a manic bit of wormhole techno to blow your mind. Last of all, 'I've Had Enough' is all busted sounds, alien effects, urgent drums and otherworldly rave atmospheres.

PREMIERE : James Vernon - Darts

As he lay there shivering, his eyes firmly focussed on the ceiling up above, he was transfixed and caught up in a state of terror which hypnotised his body and left him cold. He'd been having these night visions for some time, hallucinations and wild dreams which felt as if they might blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The darkness engulfed him and swallowed him whole, it left a bitter taste upon the tongue and he couldn't keep track of the times he'd half scared himself to death during the night. 

Otik is a versatile producer with a unique take and approach to electronic music. His sound is hazy and distinct, channeling rough soundscapes and weird ambience atop rugged drum beats and bass weight which lends a nod to UK dance culture of old. His new EP on Shall Not Fade is perhaps the best example of this yet.

Born in Croydon, UK in 1960 and working in Switzerland for decades, Michal Turtle has led a storied career as a composer, arranger, technician and producer, consistently aligned with some of the most exciting bands and projects within the realms of pop and experimental music. A figure as masterful in the realm of expansive ambient recordings as advertising jingles, it’s only in recent years that Michal’s solo productions have gained acclaim and a cult following that continues to grow ever wider.

The Remixes final chapter continues to expand in distinct and wide-reaching sonic directions. London’s object blue seems to slow time itself across her sublime interpretation of ‘Ball Of Fire’. Initially Turtle’s tribute to Howard Hawks 1941 film classic and the legacy of old Hollywood, worlds further collide into rolling, weightless bliss.

Premiere: Michal Turtle 'Ball Of Fire' (object blue version)
