Nitin - Dubbed Out (Parallel 9 Version by Steve Rachmad)

On the back of brick-solid releases across L.I.E.S., and Willie Burns' label W.T. Records, Florian Kupfer has swiftly become a serious mainstay in the world of screwball techno and (ahem) outsider house. His tracks are always tough as nails, but there's an eerie magic that hangs in between their mechanic drive. His 2013 insta-classic "Feelin'" was such a devastating Trojan Horse for that reason – weaving melancholy into peak-time dancefloors with subtle flair.

Gladly, the Wiesbaden-based wunderkind is back. Kupfer resurfaces this time for Technicolour (Ninja Tune's singles label) with Explora — and it's his most menacing yet. The light gloom of his L.I.E.S. work has been subsumed by a grinding mechanical growl. Amongst the set, lead and title-track "Explora (Slave)" is its most thorough workout, opening with the snarl of a twisted humanoid. 'Explore your fantasy' it its broken mantra, crunching from the distorted Tanoy of a dystopian dancefloor. The track builds, cracks and swells across its lifespan, sputtering out at the 10m mark into quiet reflection. It's dark, crunching – and really quite beautiful – chaos.

Following strong releases on Ovum, FLASH, Elevate and more established labels, P-Ben from France joins the OFF roster.

The EP kicks off with Bakoutool, a dry and functional percussive tool track.

Glory is an oldschoolish chord-heavy trip through time and space.

Reverside is another functional affair, an energetic synth line leads the track, and classic 909 drums propel it forward.

Tribute To M. is a slightly cheeky nod to one of the innovators of our music.

Finally, 'All Possible' connects with Glory in its uplifting and chord-laden style, classic 90ies techno-house.

James Welsh continues his run of exemplary club singles on Phantasy with another powerful and uncompromising two-track release, Sitting/Rubber Dog. The record follows D974, which earned support from DJs including Laurent Garnier, Charlotte de Witte and Luke Slater.

Sitting enforces precision rhythm with a rolling, dystopian bass line alongside a hypnotic and memorable vocal sample. As the tension increases, the track’s clinical feel is unexpectedly flipped on its own head, blossoming into an intoxicating and emotive synth melody.

Meanwhile, Rubber Dog stays true to its absurdist title, as Welsh dials his analogue assistance to a head-spinning maximum, pulping out an unwieldy jam that blends industrial and electro influences to riveting and darkly psychedelic effect.
