Various Artists - Dark Planet [Avoidant Records - AVD014]

@soma electro sub-label, Avoidant Records assemble a fresh rogue squadron for another massive compilation as 16 electro warriors take on the ‘Dark Planet’.

After the impact of last year's huge ‘Defend Your Planet’ VA, Avoidant immediately set about recruiting another incredible group of artists that represent the Glasgow based label’s output.
‘Dark Planet’ brings together established, classic and up and coming producers who take their cues from the Detroit and European schools of electro. Gathered from across the planet - from Australia, Holland, the USA and UK - the compilation sound is geared up for the dancefloor.

The breaks influenced ‘Wish You’d Leave’ from Three Faces Of Eve opens with a dark and ominous vibe before the legendary DJ Godfather drops a stripped, funk laced bomb on ‘It’s Only Detroit’. The UK’s Steve Allman takes things ‘Next Level’ with some straight up twisted and aggressive beats as Dutch wizard Versalife leans on more sci-fi elements with his ‘Shift Levels’. Having already appeared on a previous label VA, another Dutch connection in the form of Helsmoortel delivers some heavy rocking old skool vibes as a more emotive approach is taken by Flug on ‘Just You’. Assembler Code steps up for Avoidant once more with some hyper production skills on the mutant bass styled ‘Architects’. Detroit’s own Blaktony means business with the direct and funktional ‘Produkt’ before The Exaltics bring things down with the deep and sweeping ‘One Direct Line’. The enigmatic VRIL sets up the back end of the compilation nicely with his signature sound soaking up snappy percussive beats. Huge bass waves direct from The Lord Of the Isles on ‘Approach & Identify’ glide across dubbed out percussion and effective melodies. PARAND’s ‘Archangel’ is a dark and gnarly bass driven affair while Australia’s own 88756 makes your ‘Fine Dining Experience’ a rather forbidding one. 

(...)

The compilation will be released on digital platforms on 22nd November this year, with a four track vinyl sampler to follow in early 2022 featuring a vinyl only exclusive Dub Mix of Flug’s contribution to the release.

Mind Dance (@user-324785473) are back with a new release from @andyrantzen. An insight into the oeuvre of the Australian innovator, ‘Return To The Source’ compiles tracks produced between 1997 and 2020. Dance music that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but definitely packs a punch.

Return to the Source

Andy Rantzen - Return to the Source [Mind Dance]

Fresh up on the docket this fine Wednesday morning is from the latest release on the supreme Qeone imprint. Helmed by Polygonia, as one of her many projects, she strives to release only quality and we are no strangers to supporting her endeavors. As part of the seventh release, she looks to Mexican producer Gerardo Torres aka MirrorLake and his club friendly Moa EP. Chock full to the gills with a swelling combination of dub and deep techno, the four tracker is another excellent addition to Qeone’s catalog.

Flora Imaginaria leads off the Moa ep, setting a tone for what is to come later. Breakish percussion joined by dubby chords gives a backdrop to a delightfully dancey affair. Images of hazey clubs and nights out abound as MirrorLake’s swelling melodies ebb and flow.

Flora Imaginaria and the remainder of the Moa EP will be released on March 20th.

HM001 Mutation Onset V/A (Snippets)

FROG TOXIN

Catfight Black

Loose, stripped-down groove with a deep, steady low end.
Dusty textures and muted atmospheres drift around it, with echoes that come and go without asking for attention.
Nothing overplayed—just a quiet weight and a subtle tension running underneath.
Late-night, low lights, and built to sit in the pocket.

Dust & Echo

Daniel Holt "Traveler" is the second release on Death Decay Magic records. This succinct 3 track EP + remix has a unique voice of darkwave beats and hypnotic, cosmic synths. It invokes Soviet era space program films and deep space nebulae.

Daniel Holt is a unique voice in the electronic music scene, with recent releases on L.I.E.S., Mechatronica, and The Black Lodge (LA). He also runs his own black metal and dungeon synth label Ardetha Records. It is an honor to have him join Death Decay Magic for this release.
