what a fabulous EP can't wait for it to be available soon!!

The inaugural release from the new Love International X Test Pressing imprint comes from Fantastic Man, the Berlin based Australian whose music has been played by everyone from Aphex Twin to Bicep to Gerd Janson and many more.
  
Love International make good times happen in far flung places, whilst Test Pressing make good times happen physically and in the digital sphere, a meeting of like minds and shared tastes, all bases covered here.  Together this collaboration has been releasing compilation album from the likes of Gatto Fritto, Beautiful Swimmers and Shanti Celeste, and this new label project unites recording artists and designers in a meeting of music and art.

On the ‘Cloud Management’ release, Fantastic Man teams up with Alexander Papoli-Barawati, a German/Filipino/Iranian graphic designer and art director living in Berlin.  The striking and playful graphic design is in tandem with the music, which runs from the beautiful piano–led Balearic sounds of ‘Cloud Manager’ to the floating breaks in ‘Lounge Wizard’, the warped chug tempo in ‘Psychic Monthly’ and the beautiful acid bubbles of release finale, ‘Time Apprentice’.

P303.2 -- Acid Synthesis - Acidwerk EP

Vinyl Release: July 23, 2022

Nathan Micay is pleased to present the fifth re-issue on Eternal Schvitz: Love Boat People - 3 Some. Originally released in 1998 during the infamous Gulliani NYC nightlife crackdowns, this is the first record ever made by Bryan Keller of duo Automagic. A unique and timeless record that was Bryan's battle cry to what was happening at the time. A-sides '3Some' and 'To the Other Woorld' are as psychedelic and groovy as they come, making great use of a 70's era Crumar Spirit Synth and some truly wild vocals. B-sides "Dontcha Know? (Sunday Morning Mix/Sunday Night Mix) are equally banging with 'The Sunday Night Mix' conceived for Emjay's Sunday Night Very Gay Who's-Who Roundup Party at Crowbar, while the 'Saturday Night Mix' was made for Big Room, where it could be heard regularly in the sets of Danny Tenaglia, Junior and other DJ's around the city.
As always, Schvitz gives back. Eternal Schvitz release will be providing 60% of the cut to the artists and ensuring their credits are front and centre. The remaining 40% of profits will go to aequa, a Berlin-based collective with a focus on empowerment of women, trans and non- binary folks through gatherings for interpersonal exchange. Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is Communal.

Eternal Schvitz 005: Love Boat People - 3Some

Tony Neptune continues the story of Yuri Gagarin, the fabled cosmonaut and explorer who tragically died in 1961. In the second of these odes to Gagarin we join our Hero at a point of catastrophe on the planet of Toierra. Two pieces of original music have been to accompany the painting on the cover as part of a wider soundtrack to complement the narrative of this remarkable yet troubled man. An insert detailing the story will supplement the narrative of each issue.

A 1  T H E N  E V E R Y T H I N G  C H A N G E D
B 1  A  R U D E  A W A K E N I N G

Many Millenia ago the Gods, the twelve spirit like creatures that fled from the void, changed the city of Toierra and the planet itself forever. It started with the last of the Twelve, Rem Katar, who made this planet, he made this city. In jealousy and spite the other Eleven sought to control his creation. A secret plan was set in motion to command the most influential Toierrans, who were at this point a thriving civilisation in their own right. They were craftsmen, thinkers, artists and warriors, but like all sentient beings they held a resolution to survive and were thus corruptible.

Gifts of power, riches and technology were given to the most prominent Toierrans, gifts that came with a caveat of fealty to the Eleven. Over time the wealthy in the city, with help from the Gods, augmented their bodies using cybernetics giving them a faster more agile minds as reward for tampering with their anatomy. From the outset, their new metal extremities scraped together with sharp ringing as they moved, leading the poor to call them, under their breaths, the Clinks.

The little Toierrans, those left with the unbeknown gifts of a mind that is pure and untampered with, were now a slave class confined to squalor at the base of the city. They were the metal workers, the builders and the disposal staff. They worked the forges night and day, they cleaned the city and they did so without complaint or the strength to fight back.

When the Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin landed on the planet many millennia after, he finds a city on the brink of upheaval. Enrolled in the Resistance Gagarin tours the streets with other Toierrans reeking petty havoc on the Clinks. Yuri is captured by a unit of patrolling guardsmen and dragged through the streets. Up step after step they cart him, never stopping, until whispers are heard. He hears the great creaking of enormous doors. He finds himself in a long and richly decorated gallery room bathed in light from a great glass ceiling. There is shouting, laughter and the general hubbub of a room in session. When curious eyes move towards Yuri the talk ceases and as the doors close behind him and the guards drag him forward he has never felt so alone..

Jon Jones (@jjonjjones) is first to contribute to the DS global frequency database, with a blissed-out 3-track EP, 'Hyla'. In this program, we are situated in an open-world environment with a densely populated 3D rainforest installed. Here we will explore the realms of cybernetics and it's correlations between ourselves and the natural world.

Now available to experience throughout our EtherNet™ system.

Program A is a transcendent journey, dosed with a utopian vision. Organic progressive breaks and a mycelial 303 acid line, infused with euphoric beauty, all maintaining the organic touch that really defines Luke's music. 'Gateway' is best defined as a simulation of ascending the stairs to the higher plane. 

Program B1 'Nor Heaven, Nor Hell' is a deep, swirling cosmic trip. An echoed inward spiral driven by an earthy groove and beautifully weaved percussion, all lifted with blissful pads. This program is optimised for forest use.

Program B2 is a soundtrack to your personal interpretation of paradise. Tune in your frequency and let your imagination roam free. Thoughts of luscious glades with water reflecting the sun at it's highest, drifting weightlessly above a natural utopia.

Artist: James Shinra
Title: WGD 12005
Label: We're Going Deep
Cat No: WGD12005

Tracklist: 

A1. Jaunt
A2. Venture
B1. Wasp
B2. Flexion

Placid aka Paul Wise is the chief in command at ‘We’re Going Deep’ – an online community and record label, born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of electronic rhythm and obsession for collecting records since 1988.

Known to many in underground House and Techno circles, he’s spent the last 3 decades moving heads and feet at select venues, parties and fields across the UK and beyond. On a mission to share and release new music via his imprint: you’ll find only the best in Acid, Electro, IDM, Techno and Deep House for the dance floor, front room or even just your headphones. 

For the latest solo series edition, Paul reaches out to the talents of UK based songwriter and producer James Shinra, for a heavyweight 4 track EP of 303 fuelled excursions.  Hitting the floor head on with the muscular tones of “Jaunt” on A1 – punchy 808 percussion builds with jarring rave-etched synthesis, before rushing into the roar of a 303 grabs you by the scruff of the neck and unleashes a rolling groove that jacks hard until the twisted end. Do not be fooled by the calmer overtures of A2 “Venture”, Shinra unleashes another rolling 4 to the 4 floor workout. Balancing airy leads and shifting pads to precision programmed beats, the TB saws its way through to maximum frequency exposure over the course to brazen effect.

On the B-Side, B1 “WASP” takes control via deeper bass tones, squelching tweaks and A-A-Acid vocal chants, all paced at a solid mid-tempo groove that really brings things to the boil: just when you need it. Signing off with the stunning IDM inflected melodies of “Flexion” on B2 – Shinra shows his mastery of space and warmth with this beautifully balanced slice of Electronica that really is the icing on the cake.
