OUZ02 comes from the mind of a new act and a longtime friend. Modus aka Dominic Meade, draws on years of experience in the techno scenes of Glasgow and Edinburgh with his debut 4 tracker, the “Triple M EP”. The music takes inspiration from an era of techno that’s held dearer than any other in Glasgow whilst retaining a style Dom's carved for himself in the studio, through his years DJing with us and as a resident at Edinburgh’s seminal techno party, Substance.

Outer Zone 02 comes from the mind of a new act and a longtime friend. Modus aka Dominic Meade, draws on years of experience in the techno scenes of Glasgow and Edinburgh with his debut 4 tracker, the “Triple M EP”. The music takes inspiration from an era of techno that’s held dearer than any other in Glasgow whilst retaining a style Dom's carved for himself in the studio, through his years DJing with us and as a resident at Edinburgh’s seminal techno party, Substance.

"Refracted through the sound of Detroit’s second wave, Modus, steers ‘Triple M’ across a spectrum of discordant pulsations and contorting energies towards enthralment. The driving rhythms which beckon listeners forward, guide them to a crescendo of rapturous furore and like The Rite of Spring played through faults in the 4th dimension, audiences are left in uproar, exalted in their own movement."

A1. Fait Accompli

Due for release in the autumn, Three Years of Shall Not Fade gathers together nine tracks from existing and freshly signed members of the label’s growing family of artists, including Mella Dee, TRP, Loods and Adriyano. 
 The collection was designed to showcase Shall Not Fade’s constantly evolving sound, with the nine featured tracks touching on a wide variety of dancefloor-centric variations of house and techno while adhering to the label’s long-held ethos (“music to make people happy and dance”). It will be the label’s first ever album release and will be released in limited numbers on vinyl, with full colour artwork.  
 One of the headline attractions comes from Skream, who makes his Shall Not Fade debut with “Haunted Seaside Amusements”, a full-throttle affair that combines a thumping, kick-drum driven techno rhythm with moody motifs and a breathlessly beautiful, rising and falling synthesizer melody. 
 
The compilation also boasts label bows from two recent recruits who will be releasing full EPs on Shall Not Fade in 2019. Sometime Omena, Shabby Doll and W&O Street Tracks producer Mella Dee serves up the driving, retro-futurist basement garage of  “Patchwerk”, while Mall Grab collaborator Loods delivers the album’s most overwhelmingly positive cut, the jazz-flecked deep house bliss of “Everytime”. 
 
Another high profile contribution comes from Frits Wentink and DJ Boring, who here follow-up a recent joint EP on Bobby Donny with a first collaborative cut on Shall Not Fade. Their untitled cut is typically eccentric, off-kilter and tons of fun, with manipulated vocal samples, intergalactic effects, jangling pianos and chunky bass wrapping themselves around a swinging, percussive groove. 
 Naturally, the contributions from existing Shall Not Fade family members are equally as impressive. Adriyano kicks things off with the party-starting loop-funk of “The Sturdy Track”, while Lake Haze and Pierre Moritz dazzle with contrasting but equally dreamy slabs of saucer-eyed deep house loveliness.  
 Shall Not Fade’s most storied artist, LK, naturally delivers the goods via the huggable deep house classiness of “Dark Days”, while TRP, who last featured on the label two years ago, returns to round of proceedings with the bustling, techno-tempo hustle of acid-powered lo-fi house workout “Leap In The Dark (Live Mix 2)”.

PREMIERE : TRP - Leap In The Dark (Live Mix)

For its seventh release, Obscura - the thriving label of Italian trio Agents Of Time - returns to the compilation format to welcome exciting new talents and core label acts. 

‘East Coast’, the Agents Of Time track which opens the release, is at once tough and atmospheric, with delicate pads suspended above the rugged, syncopated rhythm. London Modular Alliance complete the A-side with an organic jam of bleeps, bass and crisp percussion. Next, Australian Jensen Interceptor contributes a fresh cut of rapid-fire electro which leads neatly into the sci-fi tones of ‘Welcome To My World’ by newcomer Golden Virgo. 

Following a full EP on Obscura earlier this year, Hiver is back with the elastic bassline and dreamy arpeggios of ‘Stasys’. Orbe, a remixer on Hiver’s EP, impresses with ‘Never Comes’, a similarly restrained and endlessly detailed journey through the depths. 

The final side is split between Laguna and Kris Wadsworth. The former tunnels further into the hypnotic side of Obscura’s sound whilst Wadsworth’s crunchy, Detroit techno ends the release on a high. With ‘From Sound To Silence 2’, Agents Of Time have compiled eight, stand-out tracks to explore the full range of their dancefloor sensibilities.

[0BSM007] B1. Jensen Interceptor - Manix

Hotflush presents a ten-track album of previously unheard music produced by Scuba during the early part of the five-year run of his legendary SUB:STANCE party at Berghain. From July 2008, SUB:STANCE opened the Berlin institution up to a new set of aesthetics, sparking a conversation between UK artists and Germany's most vibrant music centre. The party eventually spread further afield, with a residency in New York and showcases held around the world, before coming to a considered end with a final party at Berghain and Panorama Bar in July 2013, exactly five years after the first edition. On SUB:STANCE in Retrograde, Scuba cultivates the sonic aesthetic established in the UK in the incubative period of dubstep, whilst incorporating the fruits of an exploration of textures, drum patterns and acoustics. Consisting entirely of unreleased music which has spent almost a decade on undisturbed hard drives, SUB:STANCE in Retrograde reflects a period of growth for Scuba, documenting an exchange of ideas that continues to unfold to this day.

For the first record of the new decade Outer Zone welcomes Modus’ triumphant return for this second part of his “Triple M” sequence.

Standing in direct contrast to the stasis much of modern life has been held in, this EP offers up an opportunity to vicariously enjoy a world, where the futuristic vistas that techno promised at its genesis seem present. Machinic cycles, looping escapism and understated funk are the axes in which this space is rendered, a space that for a moment allows us some respite from stillness.
