Ten years is a long time in dance music and sticking to their guns when it comes to the high quality of their bookings and undeniable top calibre of their musical output is Chicago outfit Tied. Launching way back in 2012 with slew of parties in the Windy City that at that time was not a well-travelled road that soon included appearances from the likes of Cesare & Disorder, D’Julz, Topper, San Soda and DeWalta. This quickly grew to envelope a range of sounds that included deep house, tech house, and of course minimal.

Premiere: B1 - Innershades - The After Hours Club [ALT004]

Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

A progressive heavy roller, first self-released track of Stein Ego. This track came out by sitting on summer evenings, flipping and sampling unlighted sounds of Tibet, which are the main drive of the tune. Old sounds of dung chen are combined with muddy laser synths, merging it with Lithuanian exotic dance elements.

FINNEST brings us a new release, "ITS TOO LATE" by Mesquitas & Danny (AT), in its third reference, second of its "Underground Series" division, it is an original cut accompanied by a remix by the talented Philipp Lichtblau. The Original cut is an obvious example of the quality that Rafa and Danny have accustomed us to, very elegant deep house with a super sensual vocal and a subtle rhythm perfect for heating up the club floor at the beginning of the night. In the remix we have Philipp, who after having signed on labels like HedZup or Rendr presents us with a more minimalist version of It's Too Late, with a deeper bassline, a more extended dynamic and a happy groove that makes you move your foot uncontrollably and inevitably. Without a doubt, this maxi is a piece worthy of collecting. 

ENJOY IT!

The leaves of the trees formed a canopy that stretched far across the woods, allowing for small slivers of sunlight to cascade on the floor. The intricate shadows were reminiscent of doilies, beautiful patterns flickering upon the thick grass. This was the perfect place to embark on her first trip, the surroundings were calm and quiet, it was a feast for the senses. The hands of her watch clicked loudly, she watched intensely as each second passed by. It had been almost an hour since she'd taken it. As she averted her gaze to the sky, watching the leaves above dance in unison, her body began to feel fuzzy. What adventures lay before her she could not begin to comprehend...

Straight out of Offenbach, a suburb on the fringes of Frankfurt, DJ Slyngshot and DJ Neewt run their label Yappin'. We've not heard much from the former in a while, but it turns out he's been hard at work in the studio making music under his new moniker Deesigner. A departure from his previous releases, his new EP CY-309 sees Slyngshot opt for a sludgier tripped-out approach working with deep low frequencies and acid synth lines.
