This Is Our Time welcomes Aspetuck from the US to their label family with 'The Time Capsule Experiment' EP. His three original tracks are ranging from house, breakbeat to electro but all of them come with a nice twist. Jazzy chord & odd vocoder sounds accompany a cosmic soundscape on the EP starter 'Lift Point' and with tweaked chirps & eastern strings on a bare breakbeat, 'The Time Capsule Experiment' is definitely the most leftfield one on this EP. Closing off the release is the sinister electro 'Solace' of which we can only imagine a demon-summoning tribal ritual was the inspiration.
The EP comes with two remixes. Jeigo's rethinking of the title track is a meetup of two worlds: an aerial stomper for closing your set in the early morning hours. The dubby trance remix of 'Lift Point' is from the label boss Route 8 - his synth pads have never been so trippy like this!

PREMIERE #1173 | Aspetuck - Solace [This Is Our Time] 2020

"To his debut on Massa Records, the producer and multi-instrumentalist, Tha_guts, introduces the single Elephant, which brings three versions: Original, Vocal Mix and the remix signed by Tessuto, from Carlos Capslock. Revealing disruptive versatility, the producer seeks to tense his aesthetic approach, bringing a cut directed to climax moments. In a progressive evolution for the construction of the tracks, the work opened up the artist's new possible worlds, from the base of its more sober rhythmic composition to the meeting of fractured and futuristic drums. Tha_guts modern and dense, sometimes linear or equally cerebral, delivers a work in total synergy with the label that embraces it."

PREMIERE : Tha_Guts - Elephant (Vocal Mix)

Embarking the train to her destination she felt a pang of nerves, her belly churned frantically. After months of virtual back and forth, she'd built this face to face meeting up in her head, playing out all possible scenarios over and over. In her mind everything depended on this going well, she'd already decided this was her last chance.

Eltron's Dom Trojga imprint shares a sentiment about this year that will ring true with many: "despite it all, it was music that kept us going, that held us together while we were apart, that lit our hope, that coloured our days." In that spirit, for their fifth release they've brought together some friends and label artists, past, present and future, for their second V/A in the Domownicy Różnoracy series. Eltron's fellow Seltron 400 member SLG is back again for volume 2, and this time he's joined by several other talents from Poland's electronic music scene; jamaszka_FT, Evius, Botanica, and two debuts on the label from We Are Radar co-founder Olivia and Szum boss Charlie.

PREMIERE: Charlie - Picky Picnic [Dom Trojga]

Spazio's eight release takes quite a different musical route than earlier releases, without leaving the main idea of the label.

The LP contains four tracks of the Malmö based band Toi Let. The tracks spans from more classical rock to a more experimental and instrumental sound.

On the B-side you find three remixes of the track Leatherman. It's a more dance oriented sound. B1 is an acidic affair produced by tOWLIE, the boss of the infamous Stockholm label kÄFTEN. B2 is produced by our own Behrang Mohammadi, adding some quirkyness to the B-side. While B3 takes another direction, and is produced by Döden, which is a solo project of one of the members of Toi Let.

PREMIERE : Toi Let - Leatherman (tOWLIE RemiX)

His finger hovered over the button hesitantly, his willingness to press it coming and going in waves. Once he hit it that was it, there was no going back, no beta mode to save him. The risk seemed to outweigh the return, and it would be on his shoulders, and his only, if there were any glitches. He knew he'd have to bite the bullet soon enough, but until then he'd let the anxiety gnaw away a little longer...

Our good friend Timothy Clerkin is back with another batch of acid-tinged bangers on his Insult To Injury imprint, run with our good selves, this time courtesy of Manchester-based producers Buran, with two remixes from Kincaid and Earth Trax. Spawned from several live jams, which have barely been edited before going to press, in typical ITI fashion the two originals pack a punch from the off, bringing together acid bass lines, rumbling low end and thumping kicks.

Chicago Jack tracks and subterranean electro flow through the newest Rough Cuts 03 like smooth sine waves by Konerytmi. What makes this Kalevala EP so pumping is the Finland-based producer aka Kirill Junolainen ability to blend these familiar regions of Detroit electro and Chicago house into reimagined worlds of futuristic club bangers. As the founder of multiple labels (Lasergum Records, Dvatri Records ), Konerytmi flexes his experience and versatility with style and depth across this 6-track diaspora for the Berlin-based label Too Rough 4 Radio.

PREMIERE : Konerytmi - Bitti

Words were failing him today; he kept stuttering and stumbling over each sentence, his brain a jumble of phrases and expressions that seemed to have no meaning. He whispered and mumbled his way through, addressing the faces before him who looked increasingly more perplexed than before he'd began. An hour of nonsense had exited his mouth, he wanted the earth to swallow him whole...

Viscera are transmitting down from the cosmos once again with another helping of interstellar goodness for your ears and your feet. Bringing together space travellers, both veterans and fresh faces, the compilation's 16 tracks traverse the realms of cosmic dance music. Like its predecessor Galactic Service Broadcasting Vol. 2's mission is to raise funds for vital humanitarian services and organisations; this time all profits will be going to Shelter, the leading charity for homelessness in the UK.

PREMIERE: The He-Men - Nonsense [Viscera]

Label head Random Alias shapes the first release “Innerchild”. A dancefloor killer A Side! Sawl's crispy bass waves create a
dense acid feeling and sets the ground for Hibiscus to impact with its futuristic electro patterns and aggressive sharp drums. On the flip side Basilisk runs fast, with glitchy fills and metallic percussions in an almost ethereal atmosphere. Innerchild closes the record with a deep melodic journey modeled across euphoric sequences of notes, leaving a warm and wistful feeling...almost like coming back home.
