Alex Albrecht returns with Aurora - a pristine followup to his Blue Caves transmission via Scissor and Thread in 2018. 

The Melbourne based composer and sound designer Albrecht has leans into his predilection for woozy, affecting melodies intertwined with skittering drums and snaking grooves, and Aurora brings that to the fore with six tracks of shimmering beauty. 

Spring Orchard opens the record, effortlessly merging deeply buried keys with washes of dreamlike synths, and dubby effects. 
Wildflower Walk is a melancholic affair, underpinned with a restless groove. 
The title track Aurora treads a similar path, but with a more driving approach, while an interplay between piano, guitar, and synths drenched in reverb offer a warm, enveloping atmosphere. 


Aurora is also shared here as a remix by Roza Terenzi, who entirely reworks the track with her signature club ready grooves . 

Kennett River exhibits a kind of smudged, cinematic hip hop feel, while closing track Morning Piazza showcases Albrecht’s sense of drama and pacing, producing a sublime ending to this deeply affecting collection.

Primary Colours Music's latest two-part release, Antipodean Dubs, is a dynamic celebration of Australian dub techno talent.

Volume A kicks off with Melbourne's own Astralure, whose track "Freq" delivers an infectious groove with its robust kicks, bassline, and skillfully delayed stabs.

Following up is another Melbourne-based artist, Mike Nolan, whose "Steady" crafts a mesmerizing journey with its dub-infused, low-slung beats, dreamy pads, and sweeping textures.

The release continues with Silver Ash, a Primary Colours staple from the coast, returning with "Blackwood," a track that captivates with its evolving grooves, intricate effects, and relentless bass programming.

Closing out Volume A is Noosa Sound System, hailing from the picturesque town of Noosa, with "Ah Go Build," a true dub stomper featuring drugged-out grooves, deep drone stabs, and hypnotic vocals layered over massive drums. This release showcases the rich diversity and talent within the Australian dub techno scene.

It was hard to imagine that Proxima Centauri B, a planet with a high civilization index, would one day become a savage mining colony. The once-thriving clan of Castafarian Keepers had been torn apart by internal strife. The names of influential leaders were erased from history in a series of purges, while the more compliant ones sided with the darkness. Yet, scattered across the boundless landscapes, there were still those who remained true to the ancient traditions.

— Are we sure this Kujo guy got it right? First the portal, then the memory module, and now the trip to here. This is madness, Doc!
— Sometimes, even I forget what I am truly after. Let’s just enjoy the view for now. We’ll find out everything soon enough.

A glimmer of teleportation shimmered in the twilight. Queen of the Smorings was never late. Approaching Spacelunch and Cat, she nodded warmly: “So, how do you like it here?” The conversation flowed as naturally as if no time had passed since their last meeting. It was now clear that the disappearance of Nomad had been an omen of what was to come. The guidance of the warrior queen sounded definite and convincing. Once she was done, a burlap pouch containing an unknown mixture appeared in her hand as if conjured out of thin air. “Take this. It will help in your upcoming encounter. May the force of the elements be with you.” With the sun slipping below the horizon, the gathering of the elders was about to begin. There wasn’t a second to lose.
