One of the weirdest summers in years, with the stop-start weather and shifting moods - it never really got started so I'm both kinda glad it's over but also a bit wistful for what could have been. Oh well, spooky season to look forward to! Here's a few tunes to help with the transition . . .

Boards Of Canada - 1986 Summer Fire
Sun's Signature - Golden Air (CUTS Remix)
Kate Bush - An Architect's Dream
Porno For Pyros - Porpoise Head
Daydream Twins - Sunnmaschine
Medicine - Long As The Sun
Last Tourist - Riding Seas
Shana Falana - Gone
Galaxie 500 - Flowers
Ride - Here & Now
Jesus And Mary Chain - Happy When It Rains
Low - Walk Into The Sea
Slowdive - The Slab
Guisers - Boys Of Summer (Don Henley cover)
Chapterhouse - Summer's Gone
Rachel Goswell - Warm Summer Sun

Summer's Gone Mix (shoegaze, dreampop, IDM, ambient)

PREMIERE : A/Filatov (https://soundcloud.com/afilatov) - Transition State [Ethos Records] (https://soundcloud.com/ethosrecords)

"Chemical Equilibrium" is a close and intricate relationship with Acid. Four tracks forged by the sound of the 303; compelling and aggressive electro pieces composed by A/Filatov during calm, peaceful moments. The track titles of this 4th EP on Ethos Records were drawn from scientific papers on acids, paying homage to the acidic bass synth.
There's no grand idea, just a romantic story between Man and Machine.
"Voyager Solar System" offers an even more striking Cyclical Remix of the titular track "Chemical Equilibrium" that will twist your brain cells !
The sole objective in listening to this EP is to try to understand the origins of our feelings !

Bon voyage !

PREMIERE: Industrial Romantico - Techno Is A Trap [Italo Ghetto Records]

Hyper John - Assange [snippet]

“ROIRO” releases the compilation album “MANUAL” composed by 7 tokyo-based techno producers to celebrate the label’s 1st anniversary from “ROIRO Electronics”.

From ROIRO those three, “Golpe Mortal” who agitates the dance floor with a sharp percussion and a heavy groove, “KOSEI” who bouncily spins modern, uptempo and powerful beats, “the2$” who plays out an unique view of the world with a juicy bass sound and a disturbing melody with a sense of tension, are joining this VA.
Moreover, including four artists, “AKIRA FLAMMA” who mixes emotional and ravey sampling/collage with melancholy synthesizers and intense beats, “Jiho” who leads to the trip by minimally repeating layers of inorganic sounds, “MAYUDEPTH” who presents an alternative techno coexisted with a deep sound image and dirtiness, “ROTTENLAVA Ⅱ” who drives your passion with rough yet melancholic riffs and coldly repeated beats, a total of 7 producers, created this VA.
The piece which represents the Tokyo techno scene now has been created by the resonance of seven sensibilities.
