Lunar Disko is back once again. This time to present LDR_17, featuring another firm Lunar favourite, John Heckle.

Heckle debuts on Lunar Disko with 5 raw cuts from a distant dimension. Encompassing much of the Merseysiders signature sound, 'Blues for a Red Giant' shimmers throughout with distorted percussion, otherworldly melodies, and driving basslines to create another masterful EP from an artist who continues to push the boundaries of house and techno.

Surinam Funk Force

V/a - Surinam Funk Force (RHMC 002)

the music of @rroxymore is an intriguing, one-off blend of contrasting textures – organic and synthetic, icy and warm – a fresh step in dance music. Real name Hermione Frank, the French musician and producer has a long history making music in various ways, with various people, before settling in Berlin and concentrating on the solo project that refines it all.

As rRoxymore, she released her epic 10-minute debut “Wheel of Fortune” in the summer of 2012 – half of split a 12” with Planningtorock on the latter’s own Human Level label. Human Level also provided the outlet for rRoxymore’s first EP, Precarious/Precious, the following year. The four tracks combined nervous grooves, bewitching cosmic synths, twisted snippets of acoustic instruments and other intriguing sounds. Live, rRoxymore creates rhythms and sounds with energetic rawness merging with a stirring psychedelia, taking you into a new world.

Another split is on the way of the Suburban Avenue team. 

This is the turn of two young and talented producers coming from the new school, both nostalgic of the Techno of the origins: Birth of Frequency and Mike Storm 

A side is entrusted to the refined hands of the French producer; A1 “No Wonder” is a brilliant and direct techno track inspired by British school of the nineties. A2 “The fugitive” is deeper and hypnotic. 

The precious B Side is made by the Dutch producer Mike Storm; both tracks B1 “The one we know” and B2 “Into Formation” are minimalistic and represent some old school spaced out Techno trips 

Retro-Futuristic affairs continue..

Catalogue Number PP018 has been work in progress for quite a while now. Wind-s originally appeared in a slightly different version as part of the soundtrack to one of Rohtheaters` plays. The track features all the typical Obalski elements we have grown so fond of in the past. Dreamy pads and odd melodies create the sort of ambient that carries you away somewhere else (Bravo!). We decided that it would be interesting to hear other artists take their turn on the material. The Japanese duo Mascaras (Chida & 5ive) transformed Wind-s in an atmospheric drum workout. Fantastically incorporating the breezy synth elements of the original into their flow of percussion. Press play – Lift off. The B-Side gives space to Nick Höppner‘s epic Techno groove. Ecstasy – evolving – progress.

For its fifth release, Amsterdam’s Taped Artifact offers up a various artists EP that features four tracks including one from the boss, Kevin Arnemann, as well as Hiver, Elmer and Physical Therapy. It is a moody and atmospheric deep techno offering that fits in with the label’s ever more singular aesthetic.

Up first is Physical Therapy, a producer who since 2012 has put out some fine EPs and LPs on labels like 1080p, Unknown to the Unknown and Liberation Technologies. It is a roomy affair with corrugated mid tempo drums down low and haunting pads up top. Building in intensity with some icy hi hats, it ends up as a ghoulish number that adds real theatre to the floor. Next up is Elmer, key part of Brussels’ Bepotel Records crew. Melting techno, wave and dub into raw and expressive new forms, this new cut ‘Simple Models’ makes great use of analog machinery. Again deep and horizonless, a rippling lead synth line plays off an industrial bass riff as paddy drums roll on below. It’s humid and heady stuff, to be sure.

Then comes the boss who offers a more dubbed out and bumpy dub­techno track with expansive chords rolling off into the distance and light and airy hi hats dancing in the mid ground. It’s one to get floors moving before the Hiver duo of Giuseppe Albrizio and Sergio Caio from labels like Curle and Vidab close things out with the dusty old breakbeats and woozy spaced out synths of ‘Intersect.’ This is a subtle but impactful EP full of sensitive underground sounds that pack a real punch.

[TA005] Various Artists - A Fiction Universe

High Summer. Sun is shining and the Bordello is open to newcomers, the latest being Slovenia’s Ichisan. A 12” that bulldozes barriers, Metamundas seamlessly slips between electro disco, braindance acid and gilded funk. Writhing 303 jerks are tempered by warm-hearted key changes for the title track, patterns ducking into playful frolics and lush deeps. And this desire to toy with convention is what characterises the EP. Bitter chords are sugared, machine grooves with nods to the dancefloors of the 70s, spaceflights with undertones of Chicago; Ichisan brings all together in a 12” that is as unique as it is addictive.

In stores early October!

Marcel Dettmann has revealed the second exclusive track from his forthcoming DJ-Kicks compilation - a collaboration with revered producer Levon Vincent, entitled ‘Can You See’. 

The pair have previously collaborated, releasing ‘Vengeance’ on Levon’s own Novel Sound label towards the end of 2015 to critical acclaim. Speaking about their relationship, Marcel explains: “Five years ago we sat in the studio and were just jamming, and started to work on some tracks… we met in Munich last year before playing together and suddenly he handed me over a test pressing of one of these tracks - I was surprised because he hadn’t said a single word about it to me before then. ‘Can You See’ was still in the drawer, so we started working on that track again, sending sound back and forth, and the result is what you can listen to now.”

Beyond The Wizards Sleeve have announced details of the release of 'Black Crow', the latest single to be taken from their recently released, much acclaimed debut album 'The Soft Bounce'.
 
Released on Phantasy October 7th, 'Black Crow' is the third single to be taken from the album. Part American Gothic, part future movie soundtrack, it’s a song of haunting beauty. Holly Miranda's vocal glides across reflective strings and delicate crystalline snippets of sound, resulting in an epic torch song lament. It’s backed with White Crow, Erol Alkan's mighty extended reworking of the song, placing it in spacious widescreen, where you can hear for miles.

Recent praise for The Soft Bounce:
 
'Album Of The Week' The Guardian ★★★★
'Alkan and Norris really do possess the magic touch' – Q ★★★★
“A brilliant debut which fizzes with inventiveness” - The Line Of Best Fit ★★★★★★★★
'A brilliant distillation of everything BTWS stand for: A trip in every sense' – Loud & Quiet ★★★★★★★★
'It’s been well worth the wait' – Mixmag ★★★★★★★★
'The Soft Bounce is a joy from start to finish' – Shindig ★★★★★
"A buffet of musical influences and styles” - The Digital Fix ★★★★★★★★
'The whole thing really is a treat' – 'Album Of The Month' Electronic Sounds

Matt Whitehead makes his debut on Super Rhythm Trax, although unofficially, the split EP with Neil Landstrumm on Don’t (Don’t 020) was in many ways the first Super Rhythm Trax release even if the cat number suggested otherwise.
Here Matt shows off his skills and gives us ‘Crosstalk’, ‘Seeing Red’ and ‘Birdland’ channeling classic Detroit and Chicago House/Techno that’s heavy on the analogue and all recorded down to tape for extra warmth.
Make sure you don’t miss Matt’s Electro opus; ‘We’re Bombing’, a love letter to the 80’s Street Sounds that have influenced much of his catalogue to date. Then as a special treat for ‘A is For Acid’ lovers, we have the raw 303 workout in all it’s solo glory so you can ‘make your own’.

A1. TELESKOP - Eta Carinae
A2. Tom Churchill - Sidetracked (Remix)
B1. TELESKOP - Eta Carinae (Sparky Remix)
B2. Debukas - Live Sox Show

...aaaand we’re back. It’s taken us a little longer than it should have to get this third release together, but OH MY was it worth the wait. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite oddballs to construct the first 2Sox compilation release, aptly titled “OddSox Vol. 1”.

TELESKOP starts us off on a rampant 7500 light year joyride to neighbouring star system Eta Carinae, with a tune as dazzling and potentially volatile as the place itself. We’ve loved this tune since first listen. No rest for the elbows.

Tom Churchill is one half of The Nuclear Family and former boss man at the much lauded experimental electronic dance labels Headspace and Emoticon. Relax into our interstellar voyage with his melodic groover Sidetracked (Remix) and feel the glide with sumptuous pads and piano.

On remix duties we have another Glasgow boy Sparky has recently been lighting up the globe with his expertly crafted releases for the mighty Numbers and Optimo Trax labels. Taking on TELESKOP’s tune, he twists the groove and injects a dose of fear into the cosmic space ride as we approach the nebula. A pleasure to have his touch on this release.

2Sox co-boss and recent entrant into the CHURCH Records camp, Debukas takes us in for landing, rewarding our safe passage with his self-styled ‘Cantina Band’, Live Sox Show.

OddSox Vol. 1 (2SOX003)

RP Boo returns with 'The Ultimate', showing off six brand new cuts that mix a range of styles with his vivid use of samples and improvised drum programming. 

'The Ultimate' kicks things off with a sliding synth riff that wouldn't sound out of place on a ’91 Prodigy track with cut up rave vocal interjections over Bu’s trademark pulsing bass. 'Bang with the Funk' crushes the 1-2-3-4-5 Sesame Street song, chopping its samples into hard shapes. Things turn dark and minimal with 'The King' which features a sample from Fresh, with strange atonal tones playing off against spooky chords and a tactile bass.  

On the flipside 'What Am I?' pairs syncopated snares and 4/4 bass pulses while percussion bangs and shimmers over clipped diva refrains and anxious piano. 'Bu'Moon' meshes together some pumping horn blurts and some old fashioned steamy synth wooshes that wouldn't feel out of place on a 50's sci-fi film into a relentless battle track. 'Electric Energy' finishes the EP, sampling an unusual pop source and chopping them over pulsing half time subs that pitch up and down around slipping and sliding drum hits.
