Parple - Sacred

Tremble - Far Wud / Troubles And Temptations - RUFFCUT007 - In store now!

Out on VINYL: March 25th, DIGITAL: April 1st
Burly, UK-styled rave tackle from Berlin’s Phon.O for Tectonic after spending the last few years exploring subsets of garage-techno on 50 Weapons. Clearly carving towards Tectonic’s ruder ‘floor criteria, he plays out the dank, shadow-boxing 2-step drums and swooping subs of Mercurial next to the aggier grime slap of U8 Phunk for the Berlin scallies, and yokes some splintered breaks into a submerged jungle-techno chassis with Bell Blender.

PHON.O - Afterglow Ep (Tectonic 092) (Snippets)

BUY VINYL: https://honeysoundsystem.bandcamp.com/album/justin-cudmore-crystal-12

As a kid growing up in Illinois' tucked-away capital of Springfield, Justin Cudmore played the drums at home and in school as a jazz percussionist. In his college days Justin dove into electronic music, workshopping new-wave influenced beats in bands and DJing parties. Currently, Justin is a fixture across Brooklyn, popping up on dance floors and behind booths, where he has spun records at his Hotmix parties along with Mike Servito and Gunnar Haslam. 

“Crystal” is Cudmore’s debut 12” single. Raw, rough and ready to rumble, “Crystal” marries snaking acid lines and bouncy grooves to a sample from cult underground film classic 'The Queen'.  On the flip is Detroit-bred and Bunker resident DJ Mike Servito’s “730 Reshape”, that gives the wiggly worm vibe harkening back to the early days of Transmat, Warp and the minimalism of Dan Bell's DBX project. L.I.E.S. mainstay Gunnar Haslam provides his “Dekalb Avenue Remix” made while living in New York, a modular synth cruise with the top down. All tracks have been mastered and EQed for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley and labels are as pink as Crystal’s lipstick.

The mountains roared as the planet crashed towards the sun amidst the harrowing sky. Grey and white flashed monstrously past as the stars distorted the clouded vision of the blackened evening. Planet Zagan had longs since been in trouble. It was only a matter of time before it finally crashed in a blurry ball of chaos with the fiery energies of the great fire. The time had come, and Zagan would cease to exist for any further forward. Zagan was gone. 

Here is the latest release from the ever rugged Clan Destine camp. No introduction required, needed or wanted. Listen to Orphan Swords 'Zagan'.

PREMIERE: Orphan Swords - Zagan [Clan Destine Records]

The tape machine crackled and popped as the system whirred into life. The hiss of electrics reverberated and an image began to flash on the screen. It was blurry, distorted and messy. It reminded him of a far more simplistic time, a time in which the tascam loop was king and this new age era of electronics was yet to exist. He missed the tascam loops.

Here is the latest release from Soundscape Versions.

PREMIERE: Kuf - Tascam Loops [Soundscape Versions]

"Papa En Roy" by @moderna and @theusmago will be released through @killthedjrecords on April 15th digitally and is already available on vinyl. More info: bit.ly/MoThePa

Moderna Y Theus Mago - Papa En Roy

The clock made barely a noise in that busy office. It was but a piece of background detail amidst the shouts, cries, phone bashing and flabbergasted employees of the Wall Street building. The crash had hit them all hard but they hadn't expected it to necessarily be as bad as it now was. Time was absolutely of the essence now, and they had to find it once again to ensure the future of the company remained upheld and afloat. Find time is never easy, but now so, it was more difficult than ever. 

Here is the latest release from the Axe On Wax sub label Axe Traxx. It sees the Australian duo Sonderr offer up three tracks as part of an interesting EP which also features a remix from Mall Grab.

PREMIERE: Sonderr - Finding Time [Axe Traxx]

The great plains of Hayal sprawled into the distance before them as they looked towards the last of the dying sunlight. The beams of gold cast a warm glow over the fields of long reeds which blew in the lazy wind. Little sound could be heard but the chirping of birds and the rustle of grass, they had found peace at last. From this day forth the tribe would live in sweet harmony with the lush countryside of Hayal, its fruits, offerings and provisions. They were home. 

Here is the latest release from the Semper Memor camp which sees them unveil a split EP from DLS and Kader Yani.

PREMIERE: Kader Yani - Hayal [Semper Memor]

Have you ever sold your soul as you danced through the darkness of the night? Have you ever lost your mind in the pitch black amidst the noise? Who knows whether it might be wrong or right? Do you even care? This is about the movement of feet and heads, the groove in hips and the feeling inside your brain. Have you sold your soul? Of course you have...
Here is the latest release from the Black Booby camp which sees them release a Special Edition four track EP. 

PREMIERE: BB feat Dave B - Sold Soul [Black Booby]

Casino Times - Carlotta

Two cult entities rejoin for today's offering. Renowned minimalist wizard, Gigi Masin, and downtempo savants, Tempelhof, are elegant music-makers in their own right. But come June 10th, they cross swords for a joint outing entitled Tsuki — arriving via Cascine in North America and Hell Yeah Records elsewhere.

The former is a living sample bank for artists as far-flung as Bjork, Main Attraktionz and Nujabes, as well as playing a crucial role in Italy's avant-garde thrust. Despite only releasing a handful of releases — one solo album (Frozen Dancers), a 12” single (Piano Piano) and another joint LP with Masin (Hoshi) — Tempelhof (Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani) weigh in with considerable gravitas among those in the know. Together, they're the perfect embodiment of career cryogenics — creatives whose artistry has received a rightful second lease of life via well-placed reissues.

Tsuki is a lesson in tasteful ambience, melding episodes of weightless wonderings with forays into percussive, softly-softly electronica. The project is pinned by the hip to each artists' respective homelands of Venice and Mantua, making for a well-travelled and emotional jaunt into minimalism. 

"Corner Song" is just that; almost otherworldly in nature, but atmospheric and deeply stirring. The perfect introduction to a project that's bound to cause souls to salivate.

Pre-Order

Tempelhof X Gigi Masin "Corner Song" - Boiler Room Debuts

Having surfaced last year from the Western Australian coastline, Good Company Records provided two of the most defining records of 2015 with Hugo Gerani aka Eleventeen Eston and Phil Stroud's debut EPs. The imprint is back on good form with yet another newcoming act going by the name of Long Body, comprised of Timo L and Deni Deni. The "Hi Vibe" EP starts up with a playful and light-hearted opener, "On A Big Trip", where analog bass, Larry Heard style piano, marimba and jungle noises interweave to create a refreshing and exotic slice of house. Out next week, this summer delicacy is best consumed in a chaise longue with a cocktail within easy reach. Tip !

PREMIERE : Long Body - On A Big Trip

Sometimes you must make a choice, define yourself, choose your state of mind, decide which way to turn. Compromise might be key to this, the best of both worlds is better than neither: grow, expand, evolve. Split the difference between your expectations and realities, distance your aspirations from the facts and move forward along the timeline. Reach the best of both worlds, here is the Ransom Note message for today. 
Cliff Lothar has remixed the latest release from DC Salas on Biologic Records. He takes on 'Best Of Both Worlds'.
