OK. Back to the Limited Series for the 8th edition. Disclaimer: Do not dance in high heels. Banoffee Pies Records welcome another collection of talent with this 4 track drum exploration on BPLS008.

Jad & The joins the label on the A1 with a slow mo meditation full of warm pads and a string of broken beats on “X-Treme Drum”. The A2 comes from Lehults head chef, Lucky Charmz, with a 150bpm drum and bass inspired electro cut. Rolling low subs with a UK feel. Something different.

The B side invites Sid Quirk, who recently featured on BP009 under other alias Keppel, this time with his 88bpm haunting original vocals, packed between dark percussions and twisted soundscapes on “B_F L_R”, on the Hessle feel. Closing up the release, the B2 welcomes back Filip Szostak to the fold, this time bringing a drum heavy breakbeat DJ Tool that closes proceedings with energy and a suited transition for shifting moods on the dance floor.

PREMIERE: Lucky Charmz - Test Tubes

There was a strange, mysterious object which floated in the dense night sky. It flashed an electric green, illuminous and weird amidst a backdrop of delicate stars. It left a lot to the imagination - what was inside? Who was in flight? Were these creatures from the great beyond? It had been a long time since they'd last seen a UFO around these parts, not since the hot and heavy summer nights of the sixties. Then again, who knew what they'd seen way back then in the days of old. It was but a blur to him, a psychedelic haven of rage and madness.

A little while back we featured a mix from the ever playful musician and producer Your Planet Is Next. A Scandinavian superhero of sorts who has come to save the day from snobby enthusiasts and those who take life too seriously. He appears on a new split EP for Warning Records with a track called "UFO".

PREMIERE: Your Planet Is Next - U.F.O. [Warning]

Walking towards the podium his hands began to sweat with nervous anticipation, this was to be a prolific moment and he wished to capture every bitter second. Sirens roared in the air and crowds cheered with might and eager joy - they wanted to celebrate their newly crowned hero. In the distance he could hear the sound of helicopters hovering, security was tight around these parts. There was a lot to protect... Finally as he reached the stairs he began to truly appreciate the significance of this moment and all that it meant - he was the best. 

Conrad Pack is set to self release a new EP... Just when you thought dance music had little soul left and that business techno was all that remained. This one bangs and remains comfortably about as real as it gets. 

Lock in, tune out.

PREMIERE: Conrad Pack - The Best

A1: Jor-El aka @joel-alter – Human Matrix
A2: @karimakarima – Flaccid House
B1: @basic-soul-unit – Grotto Bounce
B2: @christopher-rau – Paradijs

After PINK and RED comes ORANGE. It’s the third out of seven records for the celebrations of the 50th Uncanny Valley release. And it’s tailor-made for pure dance floor delight.

Sweden’s Jor-El aka Joel Alter spells out house music on HUMAN MATRIX with great effect. You can't resist being dragged along by a track that is well composed down to the last tiny little detail, but always comes across light and easy. Synth stabs for the masses. Uncanny Valley-Newcomer Karima F from Oslo delivers FLACCID HOUSE, a track that feels like the perfect way to make ravers resurrect. The track is based on few, but effectively used ingredients like a hammering broken beat and those odd vocal bits. Thus, it gets to the point without detours.

Being a scene-legend himself, Toronto's Basic Soul Unit contributes GROTTO BOUNCE, a raw but precise nod to classic Detroit and Acid tunes. Finally, former Hamburger and now Berliner Christopher Rau is in full play mode and turns on all the equipment in the studio for PARADIJS, a wonky house track that gives you goose bumps even though he may be throwing you out of step.

On paper '10YRS RMX EP2' is a heavyweight release - four reworks executed with utmost dexterity and diligence. Our pick - Aubrey's take on Luke Hess 'TDY' - is a melting kaleidoscope of sound, sitting somewhere between acid and jazz. Out soon on @jauntmusic.

five propulsive, space jams. Dropping 18th October, Otherworlds EP is cosmic Techno from the Montreal-based artist that will have you hooked! 

A3 offers broken-beats, bleeps and bloops - ‘Overstatement (Space Edit)’ is a dizzying brain-tickler. On the flip, B1’s ‘Social Compost’, is a tripped out, warehouse wobbler. Rounding out the EP with a final acid cut, ‘Thalassa’ (B2), nods to early Detroit machine music with extraterrestrial influence. A tip for digi buyers, you’ll find ‘Sentiment Analysis’ (B3), stripped back yet pacey, frantic machine music. 

Enter softcoresoft, the DJ, producer and cultural organiser has been whipping dancers up into a rave frenzy on the floor, and tickling our buds for some time now. The Discwoman affiliate co founded Humidex records, and has already featured on Truants, Boiler Room, and recently took part in 2019 RBMA Bass Camp in Calgary. One of the leaders of the Montreal underground, the Music Director of Never Apart, champions gender representation in music whilst hosting monthly show, Ravelength on Montréal-based radio station, n10.as. Traversing through acid, techno, electro, breaks and trance in DJ sets and live shows, Otherworlds EP is a beautifully crafted release that demonstrates her discerning ear for all that’s transcendental.

PREMIERE: Softcoresoft - Overstatement (Space Edit)
