Bristol badness incoming as @lurka lands on @wisdomteeth-uk with new three-track EP 'Stay Let's Together'. B2 cut 'Bodied' eases in with temperate percussive hits before collapsing into screwface territory with a seismic, warped bassline. Resonant chords then add a new dimension to the mix.

Premiere: Ivan Masa - Neon [Monaberry]

For this @darkscienceelectro premiere we at another look at @Conforce aka Versalife on @2020visionrecordings

Versalife’s second release for 20/20 Vision sees Dutch producer Boris Bunnik aka Conforce return with another slab of signature electro.

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the second track of this 4-track EP. ‘Aegis’ delivers a double dose of mechanical funk, played over atmospheric strings and auditory acid delights. This entire EP is quite the work by the veteran producer. The vinyl release will become available on October 14th.

If I am being honest, there isn't a whole lot that I know about INDEX:Records. Apparently, they are a record label that was started in 2017 and consists of artists from Manchester, Berlin, and Auckland. Self-described as "confusing af," INDEX:Records are clearly a group that doesn't take themselves too seriously. However, the level of in which they give absolutely no fucks should be commended. I honestly haven't laughed this hard researching a label in quite some time. For god's sake, their about page reads:

"The future is Cyborg Orgy. We, with machines, are penetrating and generating. We metabolise our instruments, giving them life and personifying them for our own devices. It is the conscious touch which has the ability to awaken the complexities of these mechanisms and arouse their own personalities."

How can you not fall in love with these guys? In all seriousness though, label heads Con + Mos actually release some highly original and experimental music. Their seventh record, which comes out today, features new music from Berlin producer Ike Zwanikken, simply known as "Ike." Featuring two original compositions and a remix by GOD69, the lads seem to be putting all that robot fucking they're doing to good use. A great example of this is Ike's "Kiwami Formed," which you can listen to above. Although elements of the song are quite futuristic and mechanical in nature, the tune still manages to exude a level of sexiness that's undeniably human. Take into account it's break-dancing assortment of electro wobbles and energetic drum patterns, it's only a matter of time before "Kiwami Formed" will have you up, dancing, and all hot and bothered.

INDEX:007

PREMIERE: Ike - Kiwami Formed

Correspondant return with another cosmic tonic to combat these strange and turbulent times. Four slices of smouldering, sexy, groove-toned deep disco, perfect for any lockdown or socially distanced scenario you can possibly imagine, they come courtesy of Tel Aviv's Niv Ast who's been making a name for himself in all the right places; Nein, Duro, Ombra, Relish and of course this very label with two big cameos last year remixing Fort Romeau and appearing on the 'Nume'ro 2' collection. This is his debut EP for Correspondent and arguably his biggest EP to date; 'I Remember' sets the hazy, introspective mood with purring spoken word and salubrious instrumentation before 'Ninja's Mothership' goes all-out psychedelic with sweeping guitar blasts and a slinky, writhing groove. Deeper again we hit pure uncut funk in the form of 'Hyperball Superball' before 'Poisson d'Argent' brings home the silver... A hook-up with good friend Cornelius Doctor, and easily the heaviest piece of the release, it's a chugging cosmic finale laced with layers of textures and sounds to completely lose yourself within. Strange, turbulent, smouldering, sexy; this is the perfect music to stay safe to... Correspondence is key right now. Let us know how you feel.

Poisson D'Argent

@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 : Aspetuck - Lift Point

With the official release of our SNC002 record back in march 2020, a weird time for our society and especially for our subculture started – the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting shutdown for all night clubs and festivals caused a big break and calming of our scene. We used the time off and kept ourselves busy preparing this new release, presenting you an incredibly talented newcomer for our 003 release.

Give a warm round of applause and be prepared for SALOMO, straight outta Ostdeutschland. The Leipzig based producer and DJ, already got some stunning releases on R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings and is now serving the first solo release on SNC Recs.

B2, Forma, completes the Zero Gravity EP – a genius production of Salomo with emotional arps and synth-lines which sends every listener to his personal journey.

Premiere: Laurence Guy - Dreamer [Shall Not Fade]

Liquid fell from the sky in small droplets, each raindrop was multi coloured and sweet to taste upon the tongue. Delicate and moist they were a blessing from above, fruit pastel acid which was sent from the heavens like a radiant kaleidoscope of liquid fluorescence. The night was young, his dreams were wild as he careered amidst the city streets in search of his next adventure. Who knew where he might end up come morning, perhaps by then his fears would be long gone. 

Miss Represented is set to release a new EP via Edinburgh based record label Paradise Palms. A slow moving acid tinged affair for heads down dancers.

PREMIERE: Miss Represented - Fruit Pastel Acid [Paradise Palms]

“Agitation over happenings which we are powerless to modify, either because they have not occurred, or else are occurring at an inaccessible distance from us, achieves nothing beyond the inoculation of here and now with the remote or anticipated evil that is the object of our distress.”

When Stephen Hindman (one half of synth duo The Golden Filter) wrote their new solo album under the guise of Isolating last year, they didn't know the name would take on a whole new meaning in 2020. Like their debut EP System on Optimo Music in May, their new outing was written whilst reading Aldous Huxley books, with one text in particular 'Perennial Philosophy', explicitly influencing the release in both the name and output.

The 11 tracks across Perennial, shift through gritty, dystopian sonics all underpinned by an unsettling and brooding anxiety, which mirrors the concept behind Huxley's book: tackling the perspective in spirituality that views all of the world's religions as sharing a single, metaphysical origin.

PREMIERE: Isolating - Sacrament [4GN3S]

PREMIERE : The Advent & Zein Ferreira - Defend Your Planet

Jealousy would soon become her; every waking thought seemed to revolve around his movements — where he ate, where he drank, where he "worked". She knew something had changed. Call it a sixth sense. There had been too many giveaways; minor slip ups that stuck in her mind. She would confront him, eventually, but at the moment the fear of what could come afterwards was to crippling...

Glasgow's Avoidant Records, brought to you by the minds behind Soma Records, return with a lengthy compilation that showcases the past, present and future of electro. Bringing together 17 artists, the release features electro figureheads Carl Finlow and The Advent; past Avoidant artists like Autnomous and PinballSpider; the likes of Annie Hall and DJ Frankie flying the flag for the new generation, and Detroit veterans DJ K-1, Detroit In Effect & Detroit’s Filthiest who hurtles full pelt into the distance with a driving electro cut.

PREMIERE: Detroit's Filthiest - What Lies Beneath [Avoidant]

@djfrankie63 's productions are full of attitude and energy, and 'Taking Over' ain't no different. Frankie yet again cements his spot as one electro's sickest upcoming producers.
