Acronym (@4cr0nym)delivers his latest EP ‘Millennial Lowlife’ via Benthic this July, comprised of four originals from the Swedish artist.

Across the past decade, Dan Vicente aka Acronym has been unveiling his twist on murky, hypnotic Techno via the likes of Semantica Records, Northern Electronics, and of course, his own Stilla Ton imprint, showcasing a more esoteric and experimental approach to the genre and steadily rising to prominence as a driving force for the Swedish Techno scene. Here we see him joining the roster of Benthic following its inaugural release back in September 2021 from Lucid Void.

Title-track ‘Millennial Lowlife’ opens up the project and perfectly sets the tone with subtly unfurling atmospherics, gnarly bass stabs, and modulating synths atop a low-slung, driving rhythm. ‘Albanova’ then tips the focus over to an ambient tip, merging metallic arpeggio chimes with pulsating dub swells and tension-building textures.

‘Vertical Garden’ opens the flip side and leans towards a more electro-tinged aesthetic courtesy of squelchy acid bleeps, crunchy drums, and ethereal pads before ‘Flashing LED’ rounds out the release, once again returning to an ambient feel with cinematic strings, meandering sub-bass tones, and shuffled percussion throughout.

Born and raised in the Swedish province Dalarna, Stockholm resident Jo Bubbles (aka Jonas Dahlström) has previously released music on Parkway Records and put out several selfreleased titles, most recently on the cassette venture Makemake tapes.

On his first outing on Västkransen Records, Jonas opens his toolbox of subtle grooves and tweaking melodies. A journey into electro, dub and italo-infused house, “Hidden Place EP” features three original club cuts and a mind-bending DnB remix from Stockholm’s hardware veteran Parallax Deep. As one of the tougher releases in Västkransen’s catalogue to date, this record doesn’t just offer solid dancefloor material, but a genuine musical treat.

Warm Nights Driving On Wet Streets

In Trance 95 - Wild Beauty Ocean (Toujours Pour Jamais Mix) (1991)

Secretsundaze 18th transmission comes with love from Bristol based artist and newcomer Shanti Celeste. With just a few releases under her belt on the likes of Julio Bashmore's Broadwalk, her own label BRSTL and Idle Hands (the infamous Bristol shop where she also man's the counter a few days a week) she has been quick to impress. She played secretsundaze earlier in 2015 and will play our birthday party in just a few weeks and is a fine DJ with great selection and skills. She recently played back to back with Julio Bashmore on Boiler Room. Her monthly show on NTS Radio has been building nicely so we thought it only right to invite her to do her first 12' for us. This will also be her first release on a non Bristol based label so a coup for secretsundaze we think.

A.1 'Golden' is a hypnotic, bouncy house groove that doesn't stick the regular 90's house template with some great synth action and manages to be both wistful and and bumpin at the same time. 'Nu4him' is a stunning, moody track with lush chords and Shanti's own vocal refrains. 'Golden dub' breaks it down for a more experimental techno excursion eschewing some of the melodic flourishes of its counterpart with heavy kick, 808's and some detroity vibes. Final cut 'Sun' starts off all ambient and atmospheric later picking up the pace with some more stomping electro influences.

secretsundaze has been on a great run of late with Endian's 'Finish Me' featured on the likes on Joy Orbison and Scuba's Radio 1's Essential mixes and 'SS1' on Nick Hoppner's well received Resident Advisor Podcast. Shanti Celeste one of 2015's breakthrough artists continues in that veign with 'Alma.'

4LUX01105 - Nicholas - "Freet To Be" (Original Mix)

Fresh from his recent contribution to the Harvest 001 compilation, label boss Sarayu offers up the fourth entry to his More Rice label, entitled ‘Pridi 303’ – four acidic cuts for the danceoor. His quiet, yet steadfast dedication to the studio is showing clear signs of technical progression as well as beginning to illuminate his own brand of solid
grooves and soaring pad work. Whilst the airline industry remains in turmoil, Sarayu’s productions taxi quickly and land smoothly with minimal turbulence, transporting the listener between the different countries and styles that make up More Rice. Opener, ‘Adventures of a Dream’ brings together a subtly distorted 303 pattern and a twinkling synth riff, set against the backdrop of a thoughtful pad designed to space-out danceoors across Asia. Next up ‘PBIFH’ continues the 303 motif, this time laying it over a supertough, broken kick drum pattern that eventually leads into a twangling arpeggio synth pattern. On the B-side ‘Constant Jam’ is a late-night electro, boom-bap excursion which draws on crafty synth and acid lines to dazzling effect. Rounding off the EP is a peak-time, four-to-the-oor remix of ‘Adventures of a Dream’ from Hong Kong based and coowner of Klasse Recordings Mr Ho, a masterclass in building momentum for maximum danceoor impact.

PREMIERE : Sarayu - Adventures Of A Dream (Mr Ho Remix)

The first freshly cooked EP from the Toulouse-based collective Microondes, "Chaleur Tournante", is a 4 tracker filled with energy, floor filling vibes. Influenced by House, Deep House, Acid House and Minimal. Familiar piano House riffs, acid tones, broken rhythms and retro synths are combined to recreate our missed club universe. The well-known Deborah Aime La Bagarre and his track "Effort Patriotique" wrap up this release with an explosive mix.
