The flickering lights flashed and buzzed upon the billboard, the giant screen looked down upon the passing people who walked beneath the radiant glare of the monitor. They were not aware of the dense, intricate complexity required to make such electronic engineering work and whiz behind the scenes. Each pixel was like a microdancer, a tiny orb which danced and died in the blink of an eye only to be replaced by the next pulsing light. It was night time in the city and the glow of the billboard was all which illuminated the way for the lonely walkers, a city ignorant and unthinking. Lead by the visions on a midnight screen. 

Tracey is set to release a new EP on Aus Music, an electro inspired affair which channels the rough and rugged sounds commonly associated with Den Haag. This one has been widely supported and works a treat.

Microdancer

PREMIERE: Tracey - Microdancer [Aus Music]

Like the beginning of any dream, my subconscious fills in the gaps. “Where am I?”… I’m on the moon. “How did I get here?”… I’ve always been here. My dialogue subsides as an uncertain planet enters centre vision. A ‘chinese-whispers' Earth, with geographic features lost as rumour spreads through the cosmos. Though the solar path is obscured, I see no sign of darkness on the planet, only faint projections of unanswered questions and manifestations of doubt. As the projections focus, and words become more visceral, I turn away and walk towards the Sun.

With five years of releases under their belt, London’s DEXT Recordings are legendary curators of some of the most forward-thinking electronic music the UK has to offer. To celebrate the milestone, they’ve delivered 'eleVAte Vol. 1’, a 4-track compilation featuring some of their heaviest hitters. Track by track, the release is steeped in a dynamic spread of UK sounds, with plenty of bass weight and life-affirming synths added for good measure. Our pick, ’Eclipse’ by Pugilist is a skippy ode to the garage days of yonder, brimming with swing, bass and lush Rhodes stabs.

PREMIERE: Pugilist - Eclipse [DEXT Recordings]

‘SLN016’ is a 4 break beat track journey which kicks off the release of the opening track ‘SLN016A1’. Easing into break house at it’s finest with soulful vocals, organic drumming and jazzy bass lines. In his ‘state of flow’ attitude, Erta Ale presents quite possibly his best electro-break house release so far; thick kicks interpolated with chords and disorientating solo-synths, characterized by the other tracks on this EP. Mastered in full analog style by the master Tim Xavier.
