Steven Rutter aka B12 is one of techno’s most influential artists, famed for many releases on the iconic Warp Records including "Electro-Soma" that defined what is now the deep techno genre.

B12 was originally a duo before Steven Rutter took over the alias as a solo artist, but after a string of new releases on labels like Soma and Delsin, he decided to start producing under his own name.

Deciding it was time to look to the future with a new lease on life, Steven Rutter kept his sound the same, but shed the skin of B12 to mark a new point in his musical career.

Battling with personal demons, the B12 sound had become dark and introverted, and the Steven Rutter style keeps that same moody atmosphere, while adding upbeat rhythms and more jovial chord progressions without losing focus of the core sound that’s made his music so influential.

In addition to a numerous EP, “Riddle Me Sane” is the third album Steven Rutter has done under his own name, and it's in the timeless B12 style that's adored by his fans in all four corners of the world.

Cosmic melodies and sci-fi influenced textures with dystopian sound design, the thought provoking album paints pictures of alien landscapes, while its down tempo grooves also have the key elements needed for the dance floor.

Comfortingly familiar for those who love the classic B12 style, it also marks a distinct turning point in the sound that Steven Rutter has been looking to focus on.

Tracks like “Techno Prisoner” perfectly embody the style this release is aimed to purvey, but this masterpiece has been expertly programmed to play as a continuous piece of music rather than a selection of solo cuts.

FS027 - Steven Rutter - Riddle Me Sane - Full Album Preview

So with this episode being the final episode of the year and the play count on here hitting 250k what a way to go out with a BANG! 
 Im just one one man with a love for music and a a bigger love for people who may not get the shine elsewhere,  that is why i set up the EMOTEC record label but more of that in 2021, back to the matter at hand.   This episode features new material and imo one of the best track i think Strick has produced ever, taken from his new ep on 7 Days Entertainment.  NKOTB Farren Laen and his Laen Discs, lovely deep house vibes and the Nara imprint throwing a real curveball EP out just before the close of 2020. 

 Forthcoming collab from 2 of the hottest producers in the scene right now on an amazing imprint Nebuale and the marriage of MOY & Zodiac Childs, these guys don't play!  On that note, they both appear here solo to add to the weight!  Elsewhere Marine Boy, new ish from the man like Bobo on Eluize's label which is pure fire!  
Label stable of the year imo too Anil's Furthur Electronix and Altered Senses and the man like MOY and Cignol and the mysterious pair SK 222.  Pure unadulterated emotional content.  CPU and Biochip providing the ruffness alongside the specimen camps Sound Synthesis and new signing Serge Geyzel.

Hjärngymnastik 107: Otoakustiskt Videokonferenssamtal med Paul Rimbaud (Distant Worlds)

Artist: Utopia Cloak / The Jaffa Kid
Title: The Imaginary Museum 001 
Label: The Imaginary Museum
Cat No: TIM001
Format: 12” Vinyl Transparent/black Marbled 

Tracklist: 
A1. Utopia Cloak – Summer Holiday ‘98

A3. Utopia Cloak – Summer Holiday ’98 (Mause Remix)
B1. The Jaffa Kid – A Certain Retro
B2. The Jaffa Kid – Jig Jag Electron
B3. The Jaffa Kid – Carago

The Imaginary Museum is pleased to open its doors in 2021. It is the first museum of the imagination in the world: driven by insatiable curiosity, a deep belief in music as reliable witness and document to human history, and sound research, reflecting the desire to expand the wealth of human knowledge.

The first exhibition is a joint endeavour from Utopia Cloak and The Jaffa Kid, presenting priceless artefacts collected from their respective kingdoms where melodic electronica reigns supreme. Presented on beautiful marbled vinyl, each artist shares a side expressing their unique sonic aesthetics.

Utopia Cloak comes forth with melancholic whimsy in “Summer Holiday ‘98”, explores textures and hauntological soundscapes in “Matter Changing State” and enlists Mause to relocate that particularly meaningful holiday to a Brighton beach front with a cold can and seagulls included for good measure.

Flip over to witness The Jaffa Kid illustrate smokey ambient atmospherics in “A Certain Retro”, punchy dynamic electro scenery in “Jig Jag Electron” and pure braindance indebted melody in the masterful “Carago”, worthy of Richard D James at his very best.

Here we are with another episode of our international mix series. This one is coming straight from the city of Bristol, by Paul Wise aka @placid_88. Paul is a veteran of the scene, collecting records from the late 80's and kicking asses on the dancefloor from the beginning of the nineties, becoming legendary for his sets of 303-drenched acid and his reputation as 'The DJ's DJ'. Nowadays, with his new project, the "We're going deep" label, he's releasing "new music for the dance floor, your front room or even just your headphones". 
He has cooked a straight quality mix of deepness, merging spacey techno and uplifting basslines, with his recognizable acidic touch, and filled in with fresh tunes and unreleased material as well.

#017 A taste of: Placid (We're Going Deep)

Part 3 of the now infamous mix series from my good self.  From the sublime deep textures of the 2DeepSoul right up to the sweet acidic bass music of the man of the moment MOY. Tugging at the heartstrings and emotional melodies are some of the things that may be bandied about here at OLRS Towers but i also dug deep for a couple of stone cold classic jams from the Techouse and Bleep & bass genres as well as forthcoming bits from many great artists/labels.
