Now here's something special. A straightup, bona fide summer smash. A massive dancefloor-smashing beast of a tune. Daniel Dexter continues his long and fruitful relationship with Poker Flat by channelling the sound of classic Inner City in 'Deeper Love', an early 90s house bomb that will send shivers down your spine. Underpinned by a resounding synth riff and dancing counter-motif, Kaori Kaneko's vocals provide the perfect foil, packing a powerful and soulful punch. Prolific Parisian Alexkid provides a radical reinterpretation: stripped down, muted and glitchy, with the vocal cut up into fragmented shards that flutter and fibrillate in an ear-tingling fashion. While on the flip, Berlin's Bay Area import Kevin Knapp intones the names of classic Hollywood starlets over the smooth groove of 'Heroine'.

Roberto Clementi, the Italian DJ and producer responsible for a slew of killer releases on labels like Soma, Steadfast, Unfoundsound and Echocord Colour, lands on the HypeLTD label with four tracks of subterranean techno sounds.

Fusing elements of dub-techno, house & electronica, Clementi has carved out a solid and consistent catalogue of music since 2012 when his debut release landed on the Brendon Moeller’s Steadfast NY label.  His association with Soma Quality Recordings, the pioneering Glasgow imprint manned by the Slam boys, began that same year, and culminated in the 2014 long player, “N Lights”.  Clementi’s current crop of releases has also received the remix treatment from artists like Marcell Dettmann, Norman Nodge and Steve O’Sullivan.

The “Novism” EP assembles four heavyweight burners then.  The dark and tense “The War Inside Me” rattles through with dramatic stabs and heady energy, whilst “THD” maintains a strong dub influence with washed out pads and bit crushed hi-hats.

With focus firmly on creating otherworldly dancefloor techno, Celementi draws out a killer groove on title track “Novism”, whilst EP closer, “Voila” layers bright and sparkly sonic elements on top of a dense and intoxicating 4/4 jam.

No nonsense,  dancefloor designed techno then from a producer who’s fast becoming a firm favourite here at Hypercolour HQ.

Lost My Dog co-founder Pete Dafeet releases the second single from his critically acclaimed debut album 'The Root, The Soul'. 'My Love Is Raw' is classic deep house: fierce vocal stabs, gritty chords, and roughshod beats that bring DJ Pierre's Wild Pitch to mind. Manuel Tur's remix adds menace to the original's candour. A stripped-back groove that builds to a crescendo of acid, synths, and tribal rhythms - as turbulent and demented a seven minutes you'll find this side of DC10.

YOKTO are back on Compost Black with another distinctive record, raw and dusky, somewhere between romantic house and techno.

Hello together,
we are Jürgen Graf and Christian Nainggolan.
Both of us have a long standing interest in electronic music in general and electronic dance music in particular. YOKTO tracks are solo creations by myself and some tracks have been done in cooperation with Christian. The studio of YOKTO is sited in my home in the countryside close to the french border in Saarland (Germany).
The first YOKTO EP released on Compost Black can be described as „modern house with vintage attitude!“.
Our second EP released on Lossless was more like "psychedelic, modern house with a touch of class!".
Now, it's on you to describe our third release on Compost Black ;) We find it sounds like "raw, romantic house to the border of techno!".
All the best! 
YOKTO
