Dance Petrol Records ignites its engines with "Selected Fuels 05," the latest instalment in a compilation series dedicated to propelling house music's endless voyage. This collection operates as a curated manifest, loading talents like Etur Usheo, Luise, Samy B, Sample Samurai, and So.undso, just to name a few, onto a unified vessel destined for the dancefloor. Their collective cargo spans a rich geography: the humid, bass-driven foundations of early house, the soaring electrical storms of rave heritage, and the meticulous, subtle landscapes of minimal sound design. The label's achievement here is a fluid and cohesive journey, weaving these varied threads into a tapestry that feels both expansive and intimately connected. It is a dialogue across time, where reverence for the genre's pillars meets a fearless drive toward new horizons, all captured in a mix-ready state of motion.

For his contribution, Sample Samurai crafts "Buzzbird," a track electrified by a distinct Proto-Rave aura. It draws clear inspiration from the ambitious structures of classic Progressive House with shards of Raw Trance, yet feels assembled with contemporary tools. The track is built on a driving, four-to-the-floor pulse that captures the era's uncomplicated urgency. Above this, chords emerge in wide, generous arcs, layering warmth and a palpable sense of optimism. The arrangement is masterfully paced, allowing these elements to breathe and swell, crafting a narrative of release that feels physical and emotional. "Buzzbird" does not look back with wistfulness; instead, it harnesses the emotional grammar of its influences to communicate directly with the present moment. It is a generous, expertly engineered piece designed for shared elevation, proving that certain feelings on the dance floor are truly timeless.

Nu:64 is the second single taken from Och's album 'II'

Och – II
----------
As a new decade dawns, the music obsessive inhabits a claustrophobic modern era of instant gratification in which they’re seemingly so spoiled by online options and easy access that transcendence can be paradoxically hard to find in the melee. With this in mind, it can be reassuring to be mindful of the manner in which a random discovery in the bargain bins of a second-hand record store or a charity shop can set off sparks of inspiration and untold fascination.

It was naturally just this kind of obsessive chasing of avenues beyond the commonplace and the easily explicable that led to the formation 
of the fabled Nurse With Wound List by habitual £1-bin-haunter 
Steven Stapleton in 1979. Within this assemblage of exotic monikers were an eternal coded gateway to worlds of experimentation and adventure that were all the more affecting for their mystery. 

A full forty years on, rare though it is to come across a new record in the here and now which conjures up the same sense of ‘other’ as the cryptic artefacts of yore, it seems that one is on the verge of crossing our transom. ‘OCH’ - Swedish for ‘and’ - are poised to release their first album for Rocket Recordings (following a self-released EP which saw the light of day six years ago) This trio - of whom little is known other than a kinship to their labelmates Flowers Must Die - have created a collection of beguiling soundscapes and audial epiphanies that can’t help but summon up the freewheeling ‘70s spirit, the small-hours headspace and the broader sense of adventure that has legendarily dominated the areas of the esoteric. 

Amidst these eight exploratory journeys, the listener can plot out a psychic course that traverses the likes of the meditative trance-states of vintage Popol Vuh, the chemically-altered mania of Guru Guru. Synth-driven propulsion akin to French iconoclasts Heldon and Lard Free, and naturally the bucolic raptures of the band’s erstwhile national forebears such as Träd Gräs Och Stenar and Älgarnas Trädgård, not to mention more recent exponents of the same lineage such as Hills and Dungen. Yet the entire vision the band conveys on this delirious travelogue is both timeless and paradoxically fresh.

Just as their name invokes an ampersand, so this record is no less than a gateway who knows where; proof positive that these dimensions beyond the everyday - at the hands of OCH - are as accessible in 2020 as ever they were, not to mention still more potent.

NU:64

Och – Nu:64

Available for download here is an unofficial remix I have done of one of my all-time favourite tunes from the start of the 90s . This track totally takes me back to the early rave /  free party scene in the UK when I had just started DJing and was still going to school !! Mental Cube being Future Sound of London under a different name , this was released around the same time as  Papua New Guinea , and is equally as important a record in my opinion ! Staying true to the original and just boosting it up to make it suitable for today's dancefloor , I hope you like what you hear and thanks for listening :)
