Echo State - a stripped-back interlude built with more traditional sounds. These pieces often end up sitting on my hard drive, but I wanted to share this one as a single.

We are proud to showcase more Bay Area family with the release of a new EP by Doc Sleep @docsleep who cut her chops as a DJ in San Francisco’s vibrant scene the past decade. In 2016 she made the move to Berlin and became a resident of Room 4 Resistance. Since 2013, she's been the co-owner of @jacktonerecords which specializes in techno, ambient, and experimental electronics. In 2016/2017 she released her first 12's on the Hot Mass-affiliated Detour Records and Bottom Forty. She also co-wrote a track with Bezier and Nicole Ginelli, titled “Stranger,” that we released on the ‘Primes’ EP in 2017. Her latest release, ‘Your Ruling Planet’, was released on Jacktone in March 2019.
We first heard “Creme Fraiche” on Doc’s soundcloud page and begged to release it. The track has the feel-good vibes you get on early morning dancefloors as things are winding down or up. Paired on the A-side is an updated version of the pulsating dark jam “Never Eating Again” that originally appeared on ‘Run The Length Of Your Wildness V.2’ and, like that compilation, proceeds from this track will be donated to Ghost Ship Fire victim Cherushii's family. On the B-side are two remixes from close friends of Doc. First up is a fresh breakbeat remix from Violet @violet : DJ, producer, boss of Naive records, co-founder of Rádio Quântica, and mina resident shaking up Lisbon's nightlife. Second is Berlin-based producer and fellow R4R resident, rRoxymore @rroxymore  who presents an innovative remix of future-facing techno and bass variations adding her own vocals on top. For this release we’ve teamed up with Jacktone to release a cassette version, our first in this format, featuring two peak-time bonus tracks. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each copy is housed in jacket designed by Eloise Leigh with neon pink and lavender gradients echo morning sunrises with a collage of dreamy elements using a photo by Doc of Club Toilet in Detroit.

Doc Sleep - Crème Fraîche EP PREVIEW CLIPS

To launch their new record label, the guys at Bouquet. launch with a V/A compiling compelling and unusual tracks from both new and established artists, some that we know but all that we'll love. True to their namesake, Boquet offers up different shapes and shades and colours of music that went together pleasingly and cohesively. For this, they turned to a good friend and sonic florist, Caffeine Worldwide, who curated the compilation - a bit like Moonpig do for your marge on Mothers Day.

To create this stunning, aromatic bunch, they scoured Soundcloud for new artists, harassed friends and reached out to everyone they knew. Eight months and a thousand Facebook messages later, it’s finally ready for all to rinse. We're lucky to host @BlairSoundDesign's, Fern Cube - which is one of the most colourful varieties of the arrangement, bringing fun party vibes, right to your lug holes.

Grab the whole thing from their Bandcamp, here: https://bqt-records.bandcamp.com/album/bouquet-vol-1-curated-by-caffeine-worldwide

Just Keep Breathing

Walking through town he cast a glance at the people moving quickly, they walked with delicate precision and intent towards work and other such extravagant places. He didn't have such luxury for he was a concrete dweller, a night wanderer. There was every quirky chance that he might bump into an old friend at any given time, who knew what he might find? 

Aroent is set to release a new EP which has already been featuring in the sets of the likes of Ben UFO, Gramrcy and more. That usually means you are on to a winner and to be honest, this track speaks for itself.

The Time Capsule Experiment

Buy/Stream:

The Alameda EP finds the Junto Club expanding on the sound that has come to define the band, which is to say sparse electronics and percussive post punk underscoring David Wilson’s haunting suicide inspired vocals. On this EP the synths and drum machines take centre stage pulling their sound from the shadows and firmly onto the dancefloor, wasting no time with opening track Hercules’ 11 minute electro onslaught.

On the flip, enigmatic new producer Fall Forward follows on from remixes for Gabe Gurnsey and Groove Armada to deliver an overdriven, rave tinted remix of Hercules that breathlessly strobes through distorted Junos on a peaktime trip. For the final track longtime SC&P collaborator Curses leaves us with a punishing physical remix of Alone that is delves deep into the harder side of his techno tendencies and is sure to be assaulting the darkest of dancefloors once the clubs reopen.
