Once upon a time, far away in the lands of the furthest west known to mankind, a Goddess sits all alone in their humble dwelling surrounded by the dustiest, mouldiest of old analog music making technology.
You may ask “How do we know such individual be but a Goddess?”
Well, each bleep and bloop heard from their habitat could have only come from the greatest of heavens above. Duh!

The mysterious visionary that be the Westcoast Goddess brings forth 3 sublime house tracks to lift you out of the sludge that we now know as modern life.
Released via https://soundcloud.com/iambillmango 's rather fresh imprint Mango, cast upon a limited number of Holy 12 inch wax discs lays music that oozes droplets of nostalgia from years yonder, when we could actually lick each others armpits without fear of great illness occurring.

If 3 house tunes from an actual Goddess is not enough, don’t sweat. Mango HQ is one step ahead of you, deploying the illusive hero of all hedonists to add something loud and abrasive to the equation.
Roy of the Ravers delivers a hard hitting, adrenaline pumping remix of main stay Seabreeze for all you techno loving freaks.

No doubt this record has something for every respectable disc jockeying veteran to pump to the masses… or perhaps just in their bedrooms.

PREMIERE : Westcoast Goddess - Seabreeze (Roy Of The Ravers Remix)

The city was tired – it had been standing for too long. It was only a matter of time before the wheels came off and the industry which once was here retreated into the nothingness of empty warehouses and abandoned complexes. This was not how it had been supposed to end…

As the clouds passed over the sprawling metropolis, it were as if they too were leaving this place one by one. They came and went, much in the same way as the investment had done. All that was left here now were good people, kind spirits and the remainder of a once great empire which had stood tall and proud, built upon its machines.

Mark Hand & Neil Iceton channel influences from Detroit on this brilliant new EP for Innate. These tracks could have been recorded in the Motor City way back for all we know. Beautiful, wild, sprawling melodies are paired with fast paced drums and percussion which is built for dancing. This one comes highly recommended with a gold seal of approval.

Royston Summers kicks off 2022 with his new two-tracker ‘Endless / Forever Dreaming’ this March.

After successfully launching the Royston Summers project with a run of singles in 2021 which steadily gained recognition from a widespread variety of DJ’s and tastemaker platforms in the world of contemporary Nu-Disco, the UK artist continues to develop his catalogue with some fresh, dance floor focused material here.

‘Endless’ leads the release and lays down an amalgamation of intertwining, modulating arpeggio lines atop crunchy drums, hazy lead synths lines and squelchy acid-tinged licks.

‘Forever Dreaming’ then shifts focus over to dreamy, resonant pad lines, plucked synth tones and an eighties leaning bass hook alongside dynamically developing percussion.

Track List:

1. Endless
2. Forever Dreaming

PREMIERE: Royston Summers - Forever Dreaming

Was it possible to feel both satisfied and unfulfilled at the same time? To be complete yet empty? Straddling two worlds that are seemingly contrasting but strangely they both make complete sense to you... People always say the grass is greener but there's no knowing if that's ever really true - usually the thing you need is already staring you right in the face. If it's not, then perhaps you're in the wrong lane altogether.

It's likely when you think of 80s Italo Disco, Alexander Robotnick's name will immediately come to mind. A veteran of the Italian electronic music scene, it's been 40 years since he helped to pioneer the now infamous sound, defined by its infectious arpeggios, analogue drums and robotic vocoders.

Still hard at work today and now in his 70s, Robotnick's latest venture takes him to Italy's Bosconi Records, a departure from releasing on his own Hot Elephant Music, which has been the home of most of his recent work. The Hidden Game is made up of three original cuts, previously unreleased, that blur the lines between Italo, electro and techno, bolstered by a remix from a new flag-bearer of the modern Italo sound, Tiger & Woods co-founder Marco Passarani.

Dylan Dylan rejoins Sengiley with the catalog number twenty-five solo release "Summer Of Love," breaking in with a new design and summer vibe!

The whole release is steeped in a love between house and bass music with a dash of UKG, this palette of moods shows her signature sound that is already being played at many festivals this summer.

PREMIERE⚡️Dylan Dylan - It's About Time [Sengiley Recordings]

Panta Rex was introduced to me due to his output on Noorden. When I moved to Cologne I was looking for people to start doing music with and Alex from Noorden introduced me to him. Soon he started to show me more of his music.

I instantly felt in love with Dyade which is a beautiful song to end a set with that lasted the whole night and is ending when the sun is already shining again. By the way the working title of this beautiful song was dtf-uia.

Youth in the 90s shows you where Panta Rex got his musical background from and it is a homage back to the golden times after the fall of the wall and all these never ending parties.

Critter is a club hit with a long build-up and a drop that is unique in its own way, that lets you expect something different and it is also hitting very hard.

Lares in the end is one of those songs that feels like an old Workshop record. House at its best and with lyrics brought onto point. Perfect summer hit.

PREMIERE : Panta Rex - Lares

It had been several days since they'd had contact; with each one that passed time seemed to drag, minutes felt like hours and hours felt like days. It seemed like the only solution to their ongoing feud, nothing else had worked for them - time and space was the only way to heal the wounds, if they could be healed at all. It took a lot of will power to stop themselves from connecting... Picking up their phones, flicking through one another's social media accounts, passing each other's houses - it had become ingrained; it was muscle memory.

Loss marks the fourth album from Tokyo-based Bristolian A Taut Line, and his first full length record in over five years. Set for release on his own label Diskotopia, which he co-helms with BD1982, the music represents a smattering of his influences, from dub techno, funk and trip hop to acid, ambient and jungle, all thrown into a pot and stirred up good and proper. Like the title of the LP suggests, the theme of loss contextualises the 12 tracks which for the first time feature A Taut Line's vocals and a palpable sense of expansiveness that has long characterised his output.

Midnight Manoeuvres - Ab Und Zu EP

Label: Erbium Records (https://soundcloud.com/erbium-records)

Another sonic experiment for your listening curiosity, Ab Und Zu drifts the liminal void between brain stimulating atmospherics and club-centric resonance. Take a kaleidoscopic trip through the off-kilter, composite sounds of London-born label newcomer Midnight Manoeuvres.

Titular track Ab Und Zu combines metallic SFX, gyrating melodies and some choice vocal cuts in a psych-tinged techno merger, while Moored strips the tempo back to chuggier pastures reminiscent of early tinkerings in trip hop and breakbeat. Then rounding out the original set, Spincycle brings a darkly satisfying arrangement of aqueous textures and hardened drones - the Autechre-esque flourish to your tumble down the rabbit hole.

ECLECTICS RELEASE OCIO DE HOY EP BY CANEBRAKE 

Straddling styles and formats like a Balearic Colossus, Eclectics come correct once again. With ‘Ocio de Hoy’ by Canebrake, you get both a digital and vinyl release of a pitch-perfect EP that will worm its way into your ears and earn a place in your heart. 

Two searing originals leading the charge while two carefully crafted remixes cover the ground left unchartered is fast becoming the M.O. for the Bournemouth-based Balearic label. 
This EP, from Canebrake Sam Bruce (AKA Mallorquin), is no exception.  

“Borne Upriver” opens proceedings with bursts of bass tentatively testing the water. Once we’re ready to dive in and go with the flow, we’re rewarded with guitar licks full of crisp lines and delay that repays again and again as the pedal shows its mettle. 
If you need a steer as you drift downstream, think of the Idjut Boys jamming with Pete Shelley. But with all the rough lines delicately rubbed out. 

Eclectics mainstay James Bright throws caution to the wind as he finds a new tributary and sails upstream powered by disco drums and piercing acid lines. Snatches of guitar and cleverly handled melody mutations let us know that it’s the same vessel, but taken in a new, exciting direction.  

The second original, “Contento de Saber”, puts us on a firmer footing as the bass goes deep to take root while an 808 snare leads the way to the dancefloor. It combines classic sounds and elemental building blocks, to create something new, yet familiar. Searing synths, persuasive percussion and laid-back guitarist side-by-side, never overwhelming, complementing rather than competing. It is, to use the parlance of the age, an absolute banger.     

Another friend of the label, Joe Morris, takes up remix duties on “Contento…” and conjures up the kind of exotic, intricately patterned musical topography that has become his fingerprint - a sonic seal of quality. 

If you’re looking for something to leave you rocking and reeling between the dark and the dawn, this EP has it all - music for the day and the night, the sun and the shade, the body and the soul.
