"The TPS-L2 used the basic case and mechanical parts of the TCM-600 cassette recorder. The only change to the mechanical parts was the fitment of a stereo tape head and the removal of the record key, erase protection lever, erase head and tape counter. The mechanical performance of the deck, which was originally designed more with speech and dictation in mind rather than music, was considered suitable for high-fidelity music reproduction, a clear demonstration of the high quality engineering found in the more upmarket Sony recorders.

Part of the genius of the personal cassette player concept was the elimination of the unnecessary. In the case of the TPS-L2, that meant not only no recording circuitry but no loudspeaker either. The mouldings in the chassis that accommodate the loudspeaker magnet in the TCM-600 are still visible in the TPS-L2 however. Removal of the recording circuit meant removal of the microphone socket too, though the internal microphone remained. This was used for the now famous “hot line” function. Pressing an orange button on the top of the machine (fitted in the place where the record and fast-play controls had been) faded the cassette sound down and mixed in the output of the microphone, so the listener could be talked to without stopping the tape. This was deemed attractive as two headphone sockets (humorously labelled “guys” and “gals” in the versions for some markets) were fitted so that two people could listen at once. The hot line function made a pause control unnecessary, so the arrangement fitted to the TCM-600 was removed.

The TPS-L2 was actually slightly larger than the TCM-600, partly to house the volume controls. The TCM-600 had a small edge-wise rotary control, but miniature volume controls of any type were simply not available in stereo form at the time, so two independent sliders had to be used instead. In addition to this, a two position tone switch was fitted, which allowed chrome tapes or music cassettes encoded with Dolby NR to be played back without excessive treble.

The TPS-L2 initially sold slowly but with skilful marketing demand soon soared. It was not cheap (around £100, with a second set of MDR-3 headphones costing around £15 extra) but gave good performance and created a new way to enjoy music. A whole new market had been created and within a couple of years every major Japanese electronics manufacturer had begun to offer something similar."

A few words about the two entities behind this project:

Tracklistings has been offering mixes and exclusives around electronic music since 2008, without compromise, and has gradually specialized in underground electro. It has become a reference for fans of the genre.

Division Virtuel, based in Lyon and run by Atix, is a label that has been active for over 15 years. After several evolutions, it is now clearly focused on electro and electro-techno.

Mutant

Atix - Mutant [Tracklistings & Division Virtuel Records]

At some point in every producer's life, the urge to write an acid tune becomes irresistible, and for Grimey Electro pioneer Sir Hiss, that point is apparently now. Claps as sharp as Blade's blade in the film 'Blade', the kind of tension that can only be described as being 'just like the rave scene in Blade', and of course some iconic Grime sampling shenanigans all conspire to create an unholy banger of such blood-sucking power as to compel Wesley Snipes to pay his tax bill. Bad.

Meanwhile, M300 Tool showcases the further reaches of Hissian hardware exploration, taking a vintage TC Electronic unit and some hardware analogue drums for a spin down Flanger Lane, which is, of course, a minimal yet tuff thoroughfare leading to either Banger Estate or MC Village (MC not provided).

Finally, on EP closer 'Synchronisation', the NMM label boss, fresh off duppying Outlook for the Pineapple Records takeover, indulges the current temptation to 'get a bit proggy' with it, lacing synth arpeggios, bouncing toms and spacious bass tones together to answer the questions no one has yet dared to ask, namely 'what if Sasha & Digweed were from Bow E3?' and 'what if Northern Exposure wasn't really boring?' - The NMM / Bedrock beef starts here...

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-saigg-mod_f5

Marking their twelfth release, Colombian imprint Furatena gear up to issue ‘F5‘, the latest extended-player from Argentinian producer Saigg...Our pick is ‘Mod_F5’, a peak-time electro weapon steeped in the neon-lit streets of Buenos Aires. Saigg bombards the atmosphere with thumping drum rhythms, acid-punching basslines and tension-soaked frequencies that flicker like witchcraft rituals. The track feels like a network of glitching synapses plunging the audience into freefall.

Same Thing (Noah Tucker Remix)

Track taken from GLYNY - No Signs of Life [DMC033]
Release date : august 26th, 2025
Pre-order : https://dionysian-mysteries.bandcamp.com/album/no-signs-of-life

'No Signs of Life' pulses with rebellious rhythms and an energetic, chest-pumping spirit. This track challenges passivity and inspires action through its genre-fluid approach. GLNY keeps listeners on their toes, seamlessly blending UK bass, breaks, electro, and techno. Reflecting on the inhumanity prevalent in modern society, the song carries a positively humanistic message, infused with a primal, animistic ethos that evokes feelings of triumph. GLNY’s artistic diversity shines, making ‘No Signs of Life’ some of his best work yet.

PREMIEEEERE - GLYNY - Kill The Hifi (Hassan Abou Alam Remix) [Dionysian Mysteries]

● Anna Karina, Ukrainian music producer based in Berlin,
has released her first EP!

This EP showcases synthesizers and VCV Rack. The sound explores the sensations of wind and the vast, heavy landscape of the mind.
Rather than imitating the physical world, it channels perception — translating emotional states into abstract sonic forms.
Noise and glitch elements represent the raw, untamed aspects of the ocean, not as it sounds, but as it feels.

Through generative techniques, where algorithms influence structure and detail, the composition mimics the unpredictable nature of waves, thoughts, and shifting inner currents. The result is not a direct simulation, but an evolving soundscape that captures the movement and instability of an internal ocean.

This ocean is metaphorical — an ocean of emotion, memory, and perception. It has little in common with literal wave sounds but resonates as a deep, sensory reflection of a mental state.

The goal is not realism, but transformation: to turn the intangible into an auditory environment. This process creates a unique listening space where meaning is felt, not explained.
The result is a deeply personal landscape, shaped by resonance, dissonance, and silence, where the listener is free to drift, dissolve, or reassemble within the sound.

I want you to remember abstract soundscapes that evoke memory, mind, emotion, and altered states.

𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Anna Karina - Stein [Connectome Records]

Shortly after Aussteiger's successful debut, "Dub Disco" introduce their long time friends https://soundcloud.com/s-and-w on board for their second release with an EP full of lovely analogue sounds. It surely stands in contrast to the first record and by that underlines exactly what Dub Disco is about: A journey through the vastness of electronic music.                 
 "Cashmere Green" here premiered is the opener on this EP. It's a true Nu-Funk, West-Coast influenced banger with a distant cosmic flair carried by meticulous and peculiar drums. Driven by a pending groove, this one invites the light into any dreamers ears and ensures your very own trippy dancefloor experience. On the flip, we dive into Wind up Bird. The track starts off as a scratchy and vibrant House track, riding on a funky bassline. It gets carried away by dreamy chords and breaks down into an incredible melancholic melody that will keep no eye dry. Finally there is Machine Love. An 80s influenced open air peak time party tool that will definitely put a smile on your face and a rocket in your pocket.

PREMIERE : S&W - Cashmere Green

The first release from new vinyl only label Cherub Records. The ‘Figure of State’ EP features four tracks, including two original cuts from London upstart William Earl in analogue work out mode. Doppelate’s remix of 'Figure of State' on the a-side is a down-tempo, atmospheric trip whilst Pépe's remix of ‘Stokey Waltz’ takes us into blissfully uplifting, arpeggiated territory.

In the span of only a couple of months, we’ve been to Australia and back almost more times than we can count. If there was any doubt before then it’s completely erased now, as the land Down Under really is one of the hotbeds for house music at the moment. @beatsofnonationradio is an Australian radio show bringing you "weird and wonderful sounds from all around the globe" and it is curated by Dom Bird, Jad Lee and Sean Bate as well as their regular guests, both local and international. Launched in September of 2015 the radio show has hosted 49 episodes thus far with guests ranging from the likes of Urulu and Fouk to the Lobster Theremin crew.

Chord Memory Band is a recent collaboration between Michael Medlycott (from the band Vulture Street Tape Gang) and Dom Bird (Beats Of No Nation co-founder and member of the live disco 4 piece Mitzi). The pair have cooked up a four track record of analog tastiness entitled « Third Eye EP ». Today, we are giving you the first taste of the B1 track ‘Donostia’. This mid-tempo jam is propped up by some vibraphone chords and crisp percussion. Swelling synth work and keyboard lines adorn the piece, echoing and reverberating into the distance, creating a remarkable sense of depth. A warm bass line adds support but doesn’t overpower the mysterious air created by the interwoven melodies of the various instruments. From strings and bells to plucked synths and keys, there’s a little bit of everything all working together in this finely concocted, ear-pleasing potion.

Following up Blair Sound Designs Chillax EP from his very own French Press Lounge (@french-press-lounge) label, sliding in for the second 12" of this upcoming label is Hollywood, FL producer SAKI (@s4kis), bringing us "Wet N' Wild." Known for his crispy, nearly-obliterated sound and rude-dude attitude, SAKI breaks through for his debut to provide four hazy coastal house tracks fit to blast over any system, while relying on a no-frills hardware setup and a rough-and-ready live element of production. For this premiere we have what SAKI describes as a "dissonant, dubby heatstroke"  and Afternoon is exactly that. These are slick, sentimental dance tunes are made for those in search of the "Real Florida" underground. Coming March 13th you can pre order this now through Lobster Distribution,

Budding Historian on the Conflicts of Past, Present, and Future. 

I also run a zoo. It's a corporation based on taming raccoons so they go bug someone else. Sometimes I tell them to do things for me and they don't listen. 

I use to work under High Tower Financial Services as well, a mega-corporation in the far future. I am trying to seek employment back into their ranks with revolutionary new ideas, but they don't like to listen to me.

My sister dyes her hair pink, likes sniper rifles, and enjoys teasing the ex-sol targets. She works for Diane Funeral Services in Europa somewhere. I'm trying to acquire some gear from her but she's very picky. She works for one of the best corporations in ol' Fortress, I have to trade them good contracts and make a penance on them at the same time. Intel is not cheap these days. 

I once envisioned working for the Fortress, but the reality of space-time travel scares me. I prefer to teach from the remoteness of the hills and sanctuaries off-world. If this doesn't make sense, then you'll know I'm getting creative :).
