DJ Sotofett and LNS have teamed up with Tresor Records for Sputters. The double-vinyl album with 15 cuts spans a hybrid of warped electro and psychedelic hypnosis, all the while remaining fixed in an. unmistakable dance release. Recorded between 2017 – 2020, and bookmarked throughout by intros and interludes dug out from archival material, it's a deconstructed yet classic compound of techno-sonics. 

LNS from Calgary, Canada, is rooted in braindance, electro and acid. Releasing 12inches on both her self-titled imprint LNS and Sotofett’s Wania - LNS, whilst in the studio, has often pointed out “the lacking blend of dub and electro in dance music”. 

DJ Sotofett, hailing from Moss, Norway, is among a myriad of things commonly known for the extended work of his Sex Tags Mania and Wania labels, without forgetting his afro, dub and jazz releases on Honest Jon's London. 

Together both artists give space to a guest appearance by E-GZR, a fellow Wania artist, to open the Sputters journey. The sinus bending drum stutter of K.O. by E-GZR collisions flanging basses and chronic-inducing synth pads to blueprint the technoid atmosphere to come. LNS & DJ Sotofett take control with El Dubbing, evoking an effect-heavy demeanour, typical of the Sex Tags Mania soundworld that DJ Sotofett is responsible for, this time rubbing up against solid electrified rhythms. The hypnotic moods carry over to Dúnn Dubbing's deep delays, freely running over a surprisingly minimal skeleton retaining a solid direction. Crafting a warmly emotive end of Side-A with sparse rhythms to perfection. 

A meaner turn introduces Side-B. Hints of electro are scattered everywhere, fat basslines, ricocheting drums and synths that mourn and drift in and out of harmony. Vitri-Oil exposes a tumbling sound design, fog-lit chords of material fragility and nosedives - with an alive mix that wallows and grows in equal measures. The side closes with Shim, a classic drift between house and techno releasing sensual euphoria with the albums first big surprise – grand strings. 

“LNS wanted to sell her TR-606, while my reply was for us to make a track with the 606 sounding so fresh that she'd never even think about selling it again” Sotofett states. Side-C proves the artists to be some of the most singular producers around with album centrepiece The 606. Clocking in over 10 minutes, it kicks off as a driving techno banger, chugging bass and big chords. Midway through everything falls away, and out of the void enter scattered drums and improv piano lines emerge, while twisted dubs lead us back in an enduringly warm groove. 

Side-D sets the clock back to the original electroid foundation of the album, casting fires with alien vibrations. Synchronic Bass Blort is a hard-hitting electro track, steaming sonics and thrills, its melodic hook diving in subterranean motions. On Sputtering the duo raspily beams into outer space, with fizzy motives that disfigure and dazzle while the harmonies of the closing track is for yourself to experience. 

DJ Sotofett and LNS deliver an album inhabiting a world full of sci-fi sonics and fierce groove. Their sound is free and live, simultaneously wondrous and sharp.

Micron Audio embodies a hub for a modern and futuristic electro sound, led by DJ Stingray 313. The imprint beckons intense electronic sounds, roughened textures and geometries that speak to aguiding principle of making technological advancement accessible to the people. These technoid adventures of sci-fi sound design and arrays of unabating rhythm, draw its listeners through warped microworlds and wicked contortions. Behind the sounds, it exists as a display of artistic responsibility, making statements and providing solutions from socio-political commentaries. 

The first Micron Audio physical release emerged in 2011, with DJ Stingray 313’s Electronic Countermeasures EP, following a digital-only compilation that is no longer available. Tracks from the Micron Audio hemisphere have featured in several compilation records released by the likes of Rush Hour and Creme Organization, including Stringray’s Urban Tribe project. It represents a crisply defiant and firmly electronic approach, drawing in the infective indicators of video games. Relaunching afresh in 2021, Micron Audio is working with new artists and is stepping not only further into the future but into the foreground, where its clear scientific intention and political attitude is entrenched through top-shelf sound design and pumping rhythms.

PREMIERE: DJ Stingray 313 - Carbon Neutral Fuels

Today she'd decided enough was enough. Too much time had been wasted on unworthy people; too much brain power invested in things beyond her control. Her anger at the world was more than justified but for a as long as she could remember she'd let it consume her everyday life. There was only so much she could do, only so much she could say; sitting with the feeling of being helpless was simply an inevitability she had to deal with. It was time she vanquished her angst.

Cosmic party starters and music platform Viscera took their first steps into the label world last year with the release of their first Galactic Service Broadcasting compilation. A sophomore comp followed, continuing their journey into the 'furthest reaches of the dance-floor cosmos', and now they're gearing up for their first digital EP: a batch of low slung, psychedelic creations from Jakarta-based producer Komodo.

Guitar stabs, acid lines and dub-wise rhythms form the basis of the release, which comes complete with remixes from Club Blanco boss Chez De Milo and the inimitable Jonny Rock who brings his signature oddball touch to twist the original into a mind-expanding re-dub.

We would like to present Paloma's seventh release: Tom feat. Rose - Lose Yourself EP

Throughout club music history, the combination of vocals and groove remains a vital element. Countless anthems have prompted singing on the floor, and have raised arms in the air. There might have been times where vocals mattered less, but right now they are probably more needed than ever.

Tom & Rose are well aware of all that, and they were willing to place themselves and their music in a tradition of dancefloor euphoria, universal messages and a bit of bittersweetness. Together they created these tunes as a testament to better times gone and ahead.

"How Wrong" is the sound of heartbreak, albeit locked in a UKG tinged sureshot that swings back and forth with ease between jubilant piano bliss and monolithic bass weight. And it kicks like a mule. "Lose Yourself" is both an ageless acid slam and a joyful paean dedicated to all nights that should never end. While the No Hope Dub is designed to be the soundtrack for blowing a nocturnal kiss to everyday sorrows.

Also included: complementary remixes by Eluize and Massimiliano Pagliara that come up with a different take, but a similar vision.

Enjoy the music, and stay safe!

PREMIERE : Manuel Darquart - 89 When Things Were Fine (Demi Riquisimo Remix)

In a utopian lysergic world, music is what unites every soul.

Today we have the honor to release a prolongation of our “Make ___ Great Again” series with a brand new one revolving around Dream House. Close to Italo Disco, Dream House is a sub-genre of House and Trance music that appeared at the second half of the 90’s in Europe, with labels such as Dance Floor Corporation (DFC) or even ZYX Records.  

We’ve asked some of the best in the games to create a very diversified pallet of sub-sub-genres.  Alpine DJ with a fusion of Italo & Dream House, Mario Moretti with a flying club anthem, Tre Turner’s first official release with a more EBM approach filled with FM percussions, DJ Gear with a Deep Housy take, DJBoeing on a similar genre but with sunshine infused melodies and a catchy riff, Manuel Darquart with a Balearic downtempo acid grasping groove, Romain FX with a fast-paced mellow piano house jam, Val-Air to turn down the mood with a break-beat balearic tune and last but not least, Mangabey closing the compilation with a analog-tape & raw hip-hop infused house track.  

If this doesn’t cover the full spectrum of Dream House, then take another acid.

PREMIERE⚡️Mario Moretti - Dreams Unfold [Fauve Records]

Rising from the berliner underground, Longhair have earned with the years a notorious reputation on the scene supported by some of our favourite imprints. Amsterdam's Italo-tastemakers "Bordello a Parigi", "Permanent Vacation" and Paramida's "Love on the Rocks" have found a place for the trance-spacey sound of the berliner based duo.

"Axis Mundi" is a space oddity that rises from our living room all the way to the solar system, Earth, Saturn and Pluto until the end of the Galaxy, no borders, the limit is set by yourself. Hammering and corrosive basslines, full of small little details and shining hidden stars in form of brilliant melodies that will make an exciting journey thru the Milky way.

Longhair show here their great versatility blending different subgenres that vary from Indie dance, leftfield house, Nu-Disco and everything in between and adding their particular cosmic touch and some trancy elements. A record that will work great either at the club wearing our favourite dancing shoes or chilling at home at our sofa.

Get ready for a cosmic trip, to the infinity and beyond..

Axis Mundi EP

PREMIERE : Longhair - Sistema Solar

The party was in full swing. From the moment the doors opened bodies had flooded in, all making a bee line for the dance floor. The energy never let up, the crowd only swelled, growing in size and spirit as dusk turned to night and into morning. Each and every person was here for the sweet sounds pulsing out of the speakers in the four corners of the room; here to be at one with the space and each other, to free their minds and leave their inhibitions at the door - they were here to dance. 

London imprint Make A Dance have a simple mission - can you guess what it is? Their releases are all about getting your body moving, and they're pretty darn good at it. Alongside original outings they've become known for their M.A.D. Edits series, a vinyl-only string of EPs that calls on the talents of friends and label family to flip their favourite cuts for the floor. For the third instalment they've got Rakim Under, Pascal Moscheni, Lex Wolf and Hard Drive Library on board, who each put their own classic house spin on four spicy cuts.
