Happy that this track is finally out.
It was made using 6 drum samples and won a little competition in the infamous 'Strictly Lofi' group on facebook. I guess it wasn't lofi enough to be signed but happy that it found a great home now on this double cassette celebrating 6  1/2 years of @noorden

In the opening track, a male soothing voice warns us for a gravitational collapse.And he couldn't be more right! Our new family member, INTIMACY, drags you from one musical dimension to another. His outerworld soundscapes and propelling drum rhythms make you doubt whether or not you're still on earth. Enjoy the trip!

Australian DJ Life brings his esoteric ambiance on Finnish label, Echocentric Records after impressive string of releases on Gnork’s Blorp Label and Gestalt Records. The 4 track EP titled ‘Neural Oscillations EP’ is a dreamy escapade beginning with ‘Peia’ to the finale on ‘Abduction’. B1 track, ‘Mindreader’, has sub-electro workings with a cunning 303 acid-bassline, heady rhythm section and a celestial synth that hypnotizes a minute into the track. ‘Mindreader’ is formulated with wispy hi-hats, echoing twerps & chirps, schwifty vocal loops for a good psychedelic measure. ‘Mindreader’ is pleasurable, blissful and displays great range of depth with very sound production techniques that will leave you wanting more.

If you enjoyed this lush track, check out emerging label Echocentric for future releases as well as budding talent – DJ Life. Echocentric & DJ Life’s ‘Neural Oscillations EP’ is slated for August 23rd with digital and vinyl.

PREMIERE: DJ Life - Mindreader (ECR001)

Following his solo 12" debut in November on AC Records, Armec returns with a 4-track EP on Echocentric Records.

The music on offer is rich and emotional - enter microworlds of subtle melodies, pads and sci-fi drones that ooze both melancholy and hope, and will appeal to anyone into electro, IDM and techno.

A-side is a nod to Robbie's IDM roots. Just check the expansive soaring synth-work on "Auden" and the analogue moods of "Conceptualise". The droney, murky & dystopian sci-fi soundscapes of side B offer another view into Armec's production work.

Keep an eye out for Armec in 2020, more quality releases on their way.

Favourites of the channel, Craigie Knowes step into the new decade with a 5-track 12" by Dallas resident, Cygnus. Cygnus has a prolific back catalogue that includes several releases on CPU, the legendary Breakin' Records and his own imprint, Biosoft.

The record flaunts Impactful IDM and Masterful Electro across all 5 cuts - making this a fitting addition to one of the most impressive back-catalogues of any stateside IDM/Electro long-timer. We premiere, My Secret Data, which kicks off the flip-side with impactful yet clean drum programming. The sharp and punchy bottom end is then joined by surging pads and gloomy motifs - rendering this number a real stand out in it's category. A hallmark of quality we've come to expect from Craigie Knowes.

PREMIERE: Cygnus - My Secret Data [Craigie Knowes]

Endless rows of slot machines, manned by those invigorated with the promise of the big win, fill the casino with blinding flickers and the cacophonous kerchunk of the bandit’s one arm. The empty promise of financial gain masks the gambler's fallacy in a gold coat of smoke and mirrors. As the hypnotic nature of the roulette wheel calls forth like an infinite beacon, it becomes clear that harnessing its power is the key to perpetual motion. Beyond its glitz and glam, the shimmer of financial gain and the dark reality of ruin, for the foreseeable, Vegas is home. 

Out on Lobster Theremin’s UNDR, an imprint that focuses on the deeper side of club music, is Andy Garvey’s Complex Clarity. The Sydney-native is an integral part of the Australian scene, and her reputation as one of the country’s most innovative DJs truly shows in her own productions. This release features five tracks of quality techno and electro, each of which subscribe to a ‘less is more’ approach. Our pick, ‘sub.concious’ is a low-tempo, moody electro stomper that slowly builds upon subtle elements with atmospheric pads and futuristic sounds.

PREMIERE: Andy Garvey - sub.conscious [LT-UNDR]
