Long running Manchester and Berlin based party 'Lost Control, ’' who hold a NTS residency under the same name run by Black Eyes, bring us the new label Lost Control 2097. 
 
Kicking things off with the ‘Come on Let’s Get It’ EP from Cygnus. Label Boss Matthew Jesus says - “The label itself is our new extension of the portal from the 7th dimension. Specialising in plasma house, sub-aquatic electro and cyber techno all brought back from the year 2097. The first EP is from Texan electro legend Cygnus. We don't need to explain how good he is. We just hope you enjoy the ride of cyber soul at its deadliest. There's even a tribute track to the city of Manchester where Lost Control was born. The vinyl colour is inspired by the acid blood of the xenomorphs from the Alien movies, meaning it's translucent fluorescent yellow.” 
 
 "They mostly come at night...mostly!" 
 
The record is mastered by Dutch synth genius Rude 66 and will be released on both Physical and Digital formats.

Dam Swindle's Maarten Smeets, aka Wanderist, launches his Transient Nature imprint this April with four-track EP 'Think Potential' from Dukwa.
Transient Nature is a label dedicated to the world of machine funk with a sonic aesthetic of off-kilter techno and electro, and the first release sees Dukwa deliver an EP as varied as it is powerful. Transient Nature has a busy 2021 planned with releases from Detroit's Scan7, Black Cadmium and Maarten's solo project: Wanderist. The 'Think Potential' EP is deeply rooted in gritty electronics and illustrates the producer's love for hardware and vintage techniques - three of the tracks are hardware jams recorded straight to tape.

The driving Rhodes licks and fluttering percussion on 'Who Cares' gets the EP rolling before the distorted electronica and stabbing 303s fuse harmoniously on 'High Position'. Up next, 'It's U' delivers an old-school tinged electro number with its slamming drums, robotic vocals and squeaking acid lines. The EP closer, 'Eye2eye' sees Dukwa moving deeper into the electronica territory with industrial drums and dreamy piano lines working together with mesmerising effect.

With recent output ranging from Detroit house inspired MPC-driven tracks to more conceptual electronic work, Dukwa's soulful yet dynamic releases for the likes of Numbers, Don't Be Afraid and his eponymous imprint have won a wide range of support as well as picking up a coveted 'Hottest Record in The World' from the BBC's Annie Mac.

PREMIERE | Cepren Synth - Qu'elle Est Bonne [undo seat belts] 2021

He awoke in the dead of night, panting, sweat pouring profusely from his brow. He was shaken and unaware of his surroundings; he couldn't get a handle on what was reality. Shadows seemed to dance across the walls in strange shapes and the winds outside spoke to him in a whispered tones — were his nightmares making their way into physical existence?

Zurich-based producer Walid is one of the minds behind Les Points who, along with its sub-labels Infoline and Gentrified Undeground, have released a healthy catalogue of electro, wave and industrial-laced trips, coming from artists like Savage Grounds, Cygnus and Neu Verboten. In keeping with these musical flavours, Walid has been cooking up his own 80s-indebted sonics under the guise of Child Of The Waves, which are finding a home on Belgian imprint Basic Moves. Consisting of seven tracks, the release uses cinematic samples, rumbling bass lines, icy synths and haunting FX to craft a journey that could soundtrack an 80s thriller.

She squinted up at the sun through her fingers; it had been a lifetime since she'd felt the heat on her face. It changed everything; her mood, her conversations, even her willingness to get out of bed in the morning. Scrolling through the week's forecast, sun and blue skies filled each day; giving her assurance that her mind and body would thrive.

Bristol-based sound artist and producer Delay Grounds is "compelled to work with abstraction", an approach he channels wholeheartedly on his newest release 'Upcycling'. Working alongside artist Liz Naden, the pair have created an audio-visual concept using rubbish found in skips; Delay Ground producing organic electronic sounds, while Naden crafted unique sculptures. A forward-thinking project that 'upcycles' the regular artistic mediums, encouraging a narrative and an understanding between the pair, in Delay Grounds words it "enabled us both to explore our own creative potential and create a work with layers of depth which we were not initially aware of before.”

The Sound of Hope Played Backwards EP (Pleasant Life)

The roads were clear tonight. Just as well, they'd had a foot on the accelerator as soon as they hit the motorway. It wouldn't be long before they turned off into rural country roads and made their way through the forest, guided not by street lights but by the distant throb of music, leading them to a utopia within the trees. At least for the next 15 hours, thoughts of the working week would be left behind...

For their next release, Moscow's Ida Sound (ИДА) keep it in the family, welcoming the talents of long-time friend, collaborator and remixer Panorama Channel for his first solo EP on the label. Made up of two original cuts, backed by remixes from Malka Tuti affiliate Linja and NYC-Berlin duo Ma Sha Ru, 'Dybenko Meltdown' is one for the floor; fuelled by mysterious melodies, crisp breaks, rumbling bass lines and bags full of rave energy.

Slowly he counted, the numbers stacked up with a weighty presence. The 1,000 was in the distance but he wasn't quite there yet. Walking through the city streets he knew he had to hustle to make it out of this place, the grit and the grime of the landscape was getting him down, this wasn't supposed to be home. He was only ten away from calling it a day then boom, his luck was in. A handshake, a conversation, a smile. The 990 was transformed into something more suitable...

Circulation is back. A celebrated powerhouse of electronic music has resurfaced and with him comes brand new music which he describes as follows:

"After writing over forty-five 12 inch releases and two albums under the Circulation name from 1997 to 2007, and after stopping for ten years, I recently started writing again under the Circulation moniker. It feels great to be back producing and recirculating with a project that has meant so much to me over the years.“
