Marvin & Guy return in full glory to Permanent Vacation after their 2017 Fire! Fire! EP. This time Marvin & Guy, or Alessandro & Marcello, if you like, explore all of those influences throughout their musical career. On the title track "Hint of '92" they clearly pay tribute to that Techno/Trance from early 90s we all fell in love with at least one time. But they are not all about the pure retroness, instead M&G approach the matter with a contemporary point of view and their distinctive production knowledge. The track also features fellow Italian Marika from Underspreche on vocals, who also contributed a Discoid remix to the original. "Discoteque" may remind you of the early Marvin & Guy sound: rough, chunky, rocky and full of disco-ish energy. While "Colours" is a calmer, yet mental trip, with delays that the Idjut Boys would be proud of.

Dear Deer Records are excited to announce a brand new compilation series that draws together some of their many secret talents in the form of Hidden Selects Vol 1. Runov, Coppola, G Plak, Alexandros Djkevingr and more all feature on this essential first edition.

First up is Millions Lives from G Plak feat. Chris Michael, which is a moody techno cut that's deep and involving. It sinks you into the rolling drums, then epic chords and the emo vocals all add to the effect. Who Likes Hawaii from Kinree & Den Maar is a scintillating melodic cut with keys dancing up above militant drums. Great synths and withering chords bring more colour and drama to this most artful bit of techno. Runov then offers Hedonism, a rolling, hypnotic cut with dreamy pads and vocals that gets you gazing off into the distance and Coppola's Boesendorffer is a late night roller with a killer bassline bubbling away beneath icy hi hats. Lastly, Swan from Alexandros Djkevingr & Greg Ignatovich Vs Bruce Leroys is a patient, slow burning cut with creeping atmospheres and futuristic techno grooves.

The second half of the record begins with Roast by The Organism, a very synth heavy melodic techno tune that slowly builds a dark retro ambience with almost mathematical precision.

Premier techno label Dear Deer Records serves up a new EP that finds Gregory S and Peter Makto come together on a couple of hot singles, while Larsun Hesh remixes.

Mumus opens up the EP with a scintillating groove that is rippled with electric synths and has driving drums down low. It is a frazzled cut to really make a mark and the remix from Larsun Hesh is darker and more textured, with layered in synths adding to the melodic majesty of this epic cut. Last of all, Nexon then stays deeper, with rippling chords and deft synth patterns unfolding over the rolling drums. It is an evocative and emotive tune of the highest order.
