You can feel ghetto vibes and old school spirit but there is something more, something special. Please check out the EP and stay fresh!

Ghetto Deal EP

Jokios Kultūros - Real Deal

Tears began to flood his eyes and he couldn't catch his breath. He was keeled over, rolling around on the floor in fits of laughter. As soon as he'd calmed himself down just the slightest amount, he was off again in all-engulfing hysterics, the kind that shook your entire body and turned your cheeks a deep shade of red. What had even set him off in the first place? He couldn't actually remember... 'Now that's funny in itself', he thought... And off he went again...

Never one to take a straight-forward approach when it comes to music-making, Berlin-based master of everything Niklas Wandt throws all that good stuff in the mix for his new release on Warning. It's exactly what you would expect from the producer, percussionist, drummer, singer and knob twiddler - it's a mishmash of all the sounds that inspire him; there's robotic vocoder passages, ravey stabs, lush piano chords, squelchy acid lines and dusty breaks a plenty. Alongside the two originals, there's remixes from our good friend Fantastic Twins and another regular RSN collaborator Borusiade, who both put their own flips on Niklas' one of a kind creations.

Our yearly compilation returns with our fifth installment, Pyramid. A set of six tracks that, as always, travel in varied and intriguing musical directions.

We once again welcome a brand-new group of artists to the label: We highlight the track by @u_art, the EBM / trance monster; Technobeton starts things off with a trippy electro/italo song; JG Outsider joins forces with Andrea Acosta to deliver a driving EBM hardhitter; Cate Hortl produces a modulated uptempo track with haunting vocals; Neurotiker brings a cosmic italo beast; and Zheng wraps things up with a hypnotic leftfield number.

For release number 045, Luv Shack Records brings together two long time contributors Jakobin and ROTCIV for a split EP thats brimming with references to early 90s electronica.
Jakobin lays the foundation with the bubbly, trance infused 'Drawan', follows up with the spooky, upbeat electro of 'Skulpt', and finishes off with 'Octagonial Tribe', a track that oscillates between laid back melodies and squelchy acid sequences.
On the flip-side, ROTCIV showcases his signature style of industrial new beat madness: 'Frenesy' marries breakbeats with syncopated synthesizer sequences, 'No More Room in Hell' sound like a late 80s Italo Disco instrumental on steroids, while 'The Confidence' opts for broken beats and ethereal FM-flutes. As a digital bonus, ROTCIV gifts us with a heavy hitting, acid infused track by the name of 'Living Art'.

Bristol-based up-and-comer Joe Litherland - Artist name Litherland - joins Mood Of The Era with Proximan Betrayal, a release that is best described as a cerebral cocktail party of tingling euphoria and emotion.

The 21-year-old British Southwest native might still be considered as a neophyte of sorts in the world of electronic music but recent releases showcase a sophisticated sound that innovatively combines elements from new wave electro, breaks, trance, acid, and techno.

Kicking off the 3-tracker with MOTE Records is Proxima, a goose bump guaranteed, relentless slab of trancey acid and electro house that burrows deep into the listeners subconscious with its sparkling synth patterns, dreamy pads, and fading vocals.

In pursuit of Proxima, is Strife a gargantuan dance floor shredder with its thundery and adrenaline-fuelled acid patterns, backed up by thumping drum work and deep rolling basslines.

Orbital 191 closes the EP with its melancholic and soft ambient soundscapes that are topped with playful percussions and synth patterns that together create a tantalizing journey through space and time.
