As it trundled into town the crowd began to get excited, they cheered and chanted in celebration at the arrival of the wonderful old machine. They'd been here before, not that they might ever remember it. Each fad and phase had come and gone with more desperate hype and overly zealous excitement than the last only to be washed up and replaced by something else the next week. This was the tale of the bandwagon, a never ending story for posers and eccentrics who pretended that they were something more, something first, something original. They were not. 

art-aud is a record label on which we keep a close eye, the Italian imprint has released a fine catalogue of material over the years and has featured the likes of Loraine James, The Horn, Mark Archer, Wedding Acid Group and more. 

The next release comes from Dj Archaea, an emerging producer from Tampa. The record is rounded off by two remixes, one of which is by Facta who delivers a dubbed our rework of 'Bandwagon Esq'.

PREMIERE: Dj Archaea - Bandwagon Esq (Facta Remix)[art-aud]

On this occasion Soos and NetterSystem deliver us a five song EP full of mist and 90s vibes. From the beginning this work takes us back to a party set decades ago in which breakbeat, techno and the jungle converge generating a series of sensations that are extrapolated. Digital and analog elements are mixed in the same timeline that in the end they reach the same conclusion: move the body.

As the tracks progress, the haze and white noise fill the imaginary space of our mind. Elements of bands like Spiritualized and many vocal samples fill the atmosphere throughout the tracks creating a well-being and at the same time an explosion of energy that causes you to move your body.
On the other hand, it is worth noting the maturity and the way in which sounds are handled in this work. In some parts it feels like being in the lobby of a European hotel: melancholic sounds that take time to mature in a very short amount of time. It's super enriching to hear layers and layers of sound that fall perfectly into place. In some parts the same melancholy takes us back to that time when the city of Leeds and Nightmares on Wax dominated the slopes. On the other hand, Latin America feels very present in the core of this EP.
Without a doubt, a work full of surprises and sounds that are not easily found.

Australian imprint @startlocalrecords next EP arrives courtesy of Sydney newcomer @slow83, delivering Junglist musings, percussive heaters and dreamy melodies on his ‘Angophora’ EP.

Angophora

Slow83 - Angophora [Start Local Records]

For Dyslecta's debut on vinyl, and follow up to his contribution to Out of Sorts' inaugural VA, he serves up four slabs of rugged, UK techno, with influences from the early swamp sound, 2000s hard groove and classic tech house. The influences of the early 2000's early tech house scene are clear in Left on Para, a tasteful hypnotic roller which combines dubbed out vocals with a lurching bassline. Full release is dropping on 19th August, with only 100 records available worldwide, via the Out of Sorts bandcamp.'

PREMIERE : Dyslecta - Left On Para

Following a debut EP release on Brazilian record label Yellow Island Records and a hypno-house debut album on colourful L.A imprint 100% Silk, California producer Etari readies four air-fresh cuts of club melodia designed for those deep moments in the dance on Running Out Of Steam.

Aesthetics of both artist and label are a heaven-made match; favouring melodic grooves and broken-beats that trigger blissed-out experiences both spiritual and physical. ‘Chemistry’ makes use of broken Baltimore rhythms and blends them with warped, supernatural vocals, feeding into both worlds of melancholy and paradise. 

‘Cinnamon Spice’ maintains the tempo with a fairy-light cut of footwork-electro – a sequence that begs to be lost in, angelic strobes of light beaming onto a looping trip cinematic sound – before the lo-fi house rhythms of ‘Lavender Luv’ cast our minds back to a simpler time when the sun was setting and the sand was still warm between our toes. 

‘Sweet Pea’ completes the release with a wubby piece of blissful Balearic; no sudden movements, swaying in the turquoise vibe as teardrops roll into the ocean.

Undefinably pushing the boundaries of traditional electronic music once more, Typeless taps into the advanced and developed sound of Yerevan based electronic producer, Dave N.A. with the release of ‘Solo Move’.

Aligning with the label's recognisable mixture of both experimental and broken-beat sounds, Dave N.A. not only powerfully brings together both elements, but flaunts melodic ambient overtones – focusing this release on both the listener and the club.

PREMIERE: Dave N.A. - Solo Move

With his debut EP for @ofparadiserecords, entitled ‘Negative Space’, @pugilistmusic pushes his sound even further, serving up a masterclass in atmospheric club chemistry, purpose-built for a post-apocalyptic world.

Featuring four deeply effective cuts caught somewhere between offbeat techno, lucid breaks, and swaggering bass, ‘Negative Space’ is a four-track vortex born out of heat-soaked landscapes and executed with cold vein precision.

PREMIÈRE: Pugilist - Micro Dose

Paula looked into the mirror, when logic and proportion have fallen apart, white fog lifting and falling, glimpsed thru mullioned glass, crawling around her face like a thousand micrograms of bleeps, far above the moon.
Is it real or an illusion?
