Stenny is an essential producer in driving forward the sound of Ilian Tape. He has remained loyal to Ilian’s sonic aesthetic while carving his own musical path with incredible finesse. We can confirm, having seen him play at Herrensauna in Tresor and the Backdrop party in Newcastle’s Cosmic Ballroom, that his DJ sets are as exceptional as the records he releases. A versatile, adventurous and tough approach allow for constant forward momentum and a truly unrelenting energy on the dancefloor. Though the beats may be broken, his flow is anything but. His Truancy Volume proves just that - it is gripping at every turn with the energy and flare he channels into the set going some way to demonstrate his almighty capabilities when at the helm of the party. From playing football in the parks of his hometown Turin, to touring the world’s most respected clubs from his new home in Munich, his fast paced ascent is hard earned and well deserved.

Born out of a love of saturation, Nerang Recordings started their journey out in Queensland, Australia in 2016. Nowadays, they find themselves calling the beautiful electronic city of Berlin home. Lo-Fi, Techno and all the brothers and sisters of house are the solid foundations of this great label. There is something endearing about the hiss of a tape machine, a saturated kick drum bellowing through a raw dirty bass that hooks you at first discovery. Nerang records have a distinguishable sound and energy, making them unique and instantly recognisable – something that DJ Whipr Snipr and his team should take huge pride in. Releases and label parties come thick and fast, we made the trip to the January showcase and were not disappointed. If you’re looking for a great party in Berlin, look no further than team Nerang. 

Next up is the Reality Tape EP straight from the dark corners of the Russian Federation by Low Tape. Six widely diverse dance tracks collectively work so well, touching into many different styles and moods, showing off the expansive taste both the label and artist possess. Make sure to grab one of three hundred copies as these will soon fly off the shelf.

Tobias opens up Futureboogie Recordings' 2020 account with a trio of spaced out dance cuts that come from the depths of his DAT vaults. Next to the originals – recorded between 2001 and 2014 – the record comes with a remix from Fantastic Man. Streaming here today, our pick of the bunch 'Deo Mort' concludes the package with a myriad of classic samples cropping up amongst fragmented beats and a cap doffed towards the Sheffield bleep sound of old.

London based record label and artist collective Squareglass continue to provide cutting-edge electronic music with their first offering of 2020, the multifaceted ‘Clarity EP’ from sound engineer, producer and trained jazz saxophonist MagicFX (AKA Dom Kirtley). 

The “Clarity EP” comprises 4 shimmering and slightly off-kilter dance music pieces underlined by a strong aesthetic concept. Kirtley explains : “I’m really interested in texture/colour/aesthetic in dance music and tried to focus on that throughout the EP. My goal was to put together something that was light and colourful while being energetic and propulsive, with a lot of textural information to wash over you while listening”

From the oddball, sci fi sounds of the EP’s title track, through the twisting and intricate, acid-house infused spirals of “Burst” and “Patience”, and soaring closer “Elevate”, “Clarity”’s morphing sounds take centre stage and inform the way in which the tracks unfold, providing a sense of constant transformation. 

Produced using an all-hardware, synthesiser-based set up, great emphasis is placed on the texture of each element and its place within the sonic landscape, whilst utilising intricate EQ work and spatial production techniques alongside 90s rave sensibilities. Providing a strong start for the hotly tipped newcomer, the Clarity EP sees MagicFX put his stamp on the current dance music landscape, expertly blending bold, abstract sound design whilst simultaneously  constructing solid, dance floor swaying grooves deep throughout.

B2 - Complex Clarity

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.

FBi and triple j radio host, co-founder of NECTAR, ‘Pure Space’ label boss, DJ and Producer - Andy Garvey is a leading force in the Australian scene. Following her debut EP in 2019, we are delighted to have her releasing again on Lobster Theremin. Garvey brings machine funk, acid alchemy and tripped out sounds to Lobster UNDR with the excellent​ ‘C​omplex Clarity’ E​P​.

‘Red Stars’ is an exploration through mind-warping cosmic funk and tangy acid lines, slipping into the pacey yet melancholic space-jam, ‘Mind Games’. Next, laid-back track, ‘sub.conscious’, is a slo-mo, dream-powered cruise through the vortex. On the B-side,​ ‘8808808.08’ ramps it up a notch - glitchy, omnimous, body music permeates the airwaves. Finally, chuggy ‘Complex Clarity’ rounds out the EP with Garvey’s signature sound - deeply mesmerising with a hint of nostalgia.
