Next up on the A2 is Moray with the funky and banger “Ohhhhh Really”, processed drums and some retro vibes on this one also big track to fill the dance floor.
Flipping over onto the B side we have "My Houze’' by Tripmastaz, a full-on pounding acid house beauty with a pulsing, peak time rhythm that just won't stop!
Finishing up we have as always on the B2 a honne music member this time Rodrigo P. with "Olas", a soulful and uplifting track where if you listen with detail you can hear the delicate work in its arrangements perfect for a warm up hr or closing your set in a perfect way.

Artist: Len Lewis
Title: Joy / Skip Up
Label: Physical Education
Cat No: PE006
Format: 12” Vinyl	

Tracklist: 
A1. Joy
B1. Skip Up
B2. Skip Up (Louis Sypher Remix)

Physical Education is proud to have Len Lewis back. This time with the reissue of his early 2000s Joy / Skip Up release. A hard to find record released back in the day in a small run press coming out again right in time for summer.

A side's Joy is a beautiful cut of deep tech house with lovely strings and swinging toms signature of the Swag Records affiliate. While the B side includes 2 versions of Skip Up, both are a perfect hybrid between modern deep house and breaks characteristic from that era.

Len Lewis - Joy / Skip Up (Reissue) (PE006)

Artist: Basement Space
Track: Equilibrium 
Title: Neptune Sunrise EP
Label: Butter Side Up

Butter Side Up is one of the most reliably high-quality labels operating at the moment, privileging quality over quantity in some of the prettiest packages you’ll see (thanks to their enduring collaboration with designer Sophie Douala). The latest EP from Stockholm’s Basement Space continues this streak, leaning into the more musically and rhythmically interesting side of house and breaks. The broken beat force is strong with this one, but what really stands out is the incorporation of rave gestures into the equation, be it crafty sirens and lasers or pulsing acid on the B side or the rolling hip-house groove and scratches on the lead track ‘Cosmonaut’. We’ve picked ‘Equilibrium’, with its sophisticated jazzy breaks, taking our imagination to a beachfront situation. This is music being made with intelligence, shot through with a real sense of fun, and all backed up by serious musical chops.

Premiere : Rowan - Juggernaut (Bandcamp exclusive)

It’s always nice to see the start of a new label. At least, their first release should be good, because why would you start anything with something bad, right? Today we’re hosting the crew behind the YT-channel 192 uploads, called 192 GmbH, with the first release of their new label, called 192 Rec. In case you know those reptilians only because of their Youtube activities, I’ll tell you that they are also very nice DJs – they were in my city this summer, I had to miss the party, but that was one of those rare examples when I heard ONLY good stuff about it.

Their first entry will be Cesare Muraca – one of those Italians I’ve been following very carefully for the last years. All that started with his B1 on the first release of These Tasty Records (this guy loves to start labels, eh?), after that he got another appearance there, also the remix at SINM Music should be ready soon. And also this one… We’ve been told that here we’ll have an “electro-infused melancholic journey oscillating between techno and house”. So, electro, techno AND house… Interesting.

Exclusive: SINM - 74 Space Station

The SINM collective comes in with the second release of theirs, a three tracker consisting out of two originals, 74 Space Station and Hello Callisto, and a remix from Cesare Muraca for the EP's title track 74 Space Station. SINM are Stefan, JJ and Alonso, or as they say, three Peruvians living in Barcelona. Addtionally the trio is responsible for the event series Mutual. 74 Space Station is the follow-up of their First Try Fridays EP, which was out in spring. 74 Space Station covers several musical influences and draws on the trio's first release. Chopped vocals gracefully blend in the track's breakbeat-esque bass line and pads that create a smooth almost ambient-like vibe, without fulfilling the criteria of the genre. For that or rather for the latter 74 Space Station is too forward-thinking and forward-moving as it musically portrays this state of weightlessness one experiences when being in space – just that space in this case is replaced by the dance floor. 

SINM's 74 Space Station will be released in November.

EXCLUSIVE: SINM - 74 Space Station [SINM Music]

Artist: Jared Wilson 
Track: Positivity
Title: Positivity
Label: RAWAX @dbh-music

We’ve chosen a classic ending with underground dance music royalty: Detroit native and acid mastermind Jared Wilson on ‘major’ label RAWAX. You can count on Jared to produce solid bangers that hone in on the essence of dance music, with the Roland drum machine as his main weapon of choice, releasing on a plethora of established labels such as Super Rhythm Trax, Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Dolly, Furthur Electronix, Lux Rec, Undersound and his own 7777. He’s clued up and keeps it fresh, reinventing his style yet staying true to his roots.

A DJ would get a run for their money with the 4 out of 5 peak time tracks on this EP, with their sexy grooves, tight hats, slapping snares and fun acid melodies. 3 out of 5 tracks are named ‘Lynnwood’ with a few mostly numbered variations on each. Lynnwood first appeared on all the tracks on Jared’s new label Jason, Jared & Brians’ Records. The tracks are named after Lynnwood city in Snohomish County, Washington, which is where Jared moved to a couple years back. The label’s debut release New Era represents a new chapter indeed, with a fresh new sound combining solid Detroit techno with atmospheric, fairy-tale melodies inspired by the woodlands around his new family home.

For this most recent release on RAWAX, Lynwood vibes are present but with raw house sounds suiting the label. We’ve picked the A1 ‘Positivity’, which is also the name given to the EP. We can’t get enough of this unique, catchy, sexy, emotional bomb! The composition is just so beautiful and it’s never tiring. It’s got DMX Krew vibes with its wormhole melody, but with a Detroit edge.

Artist: Exterminador @exterminador_official
Track: Deep In The Mess Of Night
Title: Age Of Consent 
Label: Bad Manners

We move to young Berlin based artist Exterminador, who has really captivated us. We first heard him a few years ago on YAY’s podcast series, and he was also a key figure in the establishment of The Record Loft. In 2016, he opened his own Exterminador Records label and in 2019 he started collaborating with Marcel Dettmann on new imprint Bad Manners, being responsible for the whole output so far with one EP and recently a whole album, from which we have picked a track for this edition of selections. We really enjoyed the first EP: A techno and electro release with EBM tendencies rather than acid wormhole melodies.

Exterminador’s album Age of Consent certainly doesn’t disappoint! He takes the electro and 80s influence from the earlier release and presents them on a delicious platter. At first our ears perked up to ‘Broken Glass Door’ with its rolling 80s influenced bassline and sharp synths. To be honest it’s a challenge to pick just one track but ‘Deep In The Mess Of Night’ got the trophy – it’s a brilliant composition and there just isn’t any track quite like it! There’s a uniqueness and playfulness to it all, starting with the funny as hell title, drum rolls and even laughing in the track itself. It’s not silly though, and actually very new wave with its yearning synth, knock out bassline and broody vocals.

Artist: Frak @Borft
Track: Scientific Bella-Donna
Title: Formless Obstruction
Label: Futurepast @futurepastnosenseoftime

We continue on the ‘experimental’ thread with Swedish electronic group Frak on Futurepast. We have chosen ‘Scientific Bella-Donna’, which really seems more techno-house than heavily experimental. When listen we picture the scene in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis where Maria the robot is surrounded by a moving, buzzing electric field, while also imagining dancing in an after-hour, with the track’s edgy and sexy, deep and minimal sounds. It’s an interesting balance between the machine and the soul, two styles which are also reflected in Frak’s previous discography as a group that has been producing dance tracks since the late eighties, and sharing their own funky hardware sound through their label Börft.

While listening to Frak we can’t help but recall Futurepast founder Davy’s own long after-hour sets, which we adored while he was still living in London a few years ago: dark, industrial and hypnotising yet deep, playful and groovy!

A reunion of the group members also occurred for this release: “We hadn’t met for some time, as we live in different cities. So, when we joined forces for this recording, it was all from scratch and a bit of fumbling at first. But it struck us that this is it, this is the pure reason why we do what we do. Jamming our way through machines and ideas is what it’s all about.”

Artist: Broken Audio
Track: 6BrokenBones
Title: Nocturnal Entropy EP
Label: Perty @djoctopus-2

The second release on this Selections list is another Bandcamp oriented production: Nocturnal Entropy EP by sound engineer and electronic music producer Broken Audio is the first edition of a series of cassette tapes led by DJ Octopus. For Octopus, tape carries a special meaning as it was the first media he used to record music, from the radio and from machines when he started producing music. You can even hear a grainy effect throughout on the digital files.

The style of Nocturnal Entropy is categorised as “breakbeat” but, he explains, it really stands out as a complete journey into sounds. Emotional pads and atmospheres glide through the piece, mixing with the diverse audio sources used, including thunderstorms and ASMR! We couldn’t resist picking the dance-oriented track on the release: ‘6BrokenBones’ is a solid UK garage track with a banging attitude.

The vocals are the producer’s own, having first experimented on the opener ‘Baio’, an ambient track dedicated to his friend who sadly drowned in a lake near his hometown last year. “It was a really tough time for me and right after he passed away I decided to honour his death and to reflect all my sorrow on a track. I recorded some vocals, a piano line and a lot of reverb in around an hour and suddenly felt better.”

“Once I started to experiment with my voice like I did in ‘Baio’, I wanted to include it more in my tracks and I remember having this garage tune in the making and said to myself: ‘Why not pitch it down some semitones and see how it sounds in here?’ Hahaha.”

The second edition on Perty has just been released on Bandcamp – a different yet still beautiful mix of atmospheres and textures.

Artist: Lagowski @lagowski
Track: Scatter 4
Label: Self Released

We start the selections with this beautiful opener by Lagowski, Scatter 4, a track uploaded to his bandcamp as a single release, and originally intended to be part of his wonderful album Smokescreen (but which really stands on its own).

The track features captivating and angelic strings that could easily be played at the gates to heaven. Lagowski’s new wave punk band roots are present in the very analogue bassline, which brings a sense of realness to the piece. There’s adventure in the track too, from what sounds like a didgeridoo instrument, stomping, military drums and fluttering sounds, evoking images of The Outback and authenticating the connection between machine and the environment. Heaven, human, nature. There’s soul and spirit in this hardwired track.

This particular musical genius has been recording electronic music and playing live analogue shows since 1982 (following his earlier work drumming in punk and new wave bands). His name holds a safe spot in the 90s GPR hall of fame, his early nineties releases on Chromium Industries are DJs’ favourites, and in the past few years he’s released twice on Sleepers as Clans of the Alphane Moon and Project Ghost. Fortunately for us, Lagowski continues to be prolific today with a library of updated material on his bandcamp page. He’s also just uploaded ‘Scatter 1 + 2’, premixes to the finished ‘Scatter 4’. It’s interesting to hear the previous versions, which are also very good! We will be switching back and forth between these three for a while – but will we get to listen to number 3 too?

DJ S.K.T - Poison

IMPULSE is the first national signing of Berlin label Studio K7 and after makig a selection from hundreds of demos 4 mellow tracks were dropped on this 12". It also contains an abstract mix of Warp´s Autechre and a remix of Cologne's Rootpowder (Formic, Electrecord), which became cult in the UK. "One-Six-Four-One-Seven" has this magical monotony of long train rides. The fade in (Train At 1 A.M.) and the final track (Heavybreath) consist of train noises in all frequencies, the rhythm developing slowly.
Like Kraftwerk never happened!

Sometimes it can take a few releases for labels to find their musical footing, sometimes it can take years, but sometimes a special label starts with blistering musical confidence that it feels they can't put a foot wrong, take Italian label Point of Art for instance. Label head matteo christened the label with an EP of his own, shifting between both pumping and esoteric house whilst the label's second release featured a various compilation from three relatively new producing artists on their scene in Denalia, matteo and The Hush, with what has quickly become a signature style of quirky house that's oozing with personality.
