Synthesized trips have allowed us, the younger generation, to stand up and recognise the importance of Amethist beauty. Rustling echoes, environmental deepening, minerals and stems punch us in the eardrum. It’s a Match between forces. The Box is watching. Shall we dance together? After Rain comes sun. Check out the desert, run away and download a DR From Space. Say hello to them. It’s all about that Mutation Gamble. Modular fluids form a gentle outline of what we must call Fluïdium. The sound speaks for itself and before long, we shall all be entangled in a Kafkaesque enterprise. This is all an acidic ode to the peoples. You may now enter. @matchbox1

Match Box - Fluidum

There were glimmering colours and flickering lights which danced and bounced between the four walls of the grand old hall. Inside it revellers moved in a euphoric trance, engulfed by the saidas touch, a hypnotic force which bound them together and kept them moving in ignorant unison. It was a beautiful, magnificent thing - strangely fascinating to watch as each dancer moved simultaneously in time with the rumble and banging of drums as a myriad of colours exploded and flashed. 

Dj Willie Oboe is back and when I say that it will likely mean very little. However, if I were to tell you that it's a magical new moniker for one of the members of the infamous hardware inspired duo Frak you might be more excited. They are set to release a new EP on Lost Control, a somewhat more house focussed affair than their usual. However, it still carries that rough and ready, signature Frak sound.

PREMIERE: Dj Willie Oboe - Saidas Touch (Channelling EJ - ESP)[Lost Control]

When referring to Scape One, its obligatory to recognize that his work is wholeheartedly visionary. Ominous bass lines, warped bleeps, and hiccup like high hats combined with perfectly harmonized chords and melodies form a groundbreaking type of electro sound very atypical to the trends. Believe In Records as a division of MixCult Records features second release with an experimental assertion full of retro influences coalesced with the sounds of the future, seemingly responding to one another's frequencies in perfect congruence.

The high demanding collectors cannot miss this release.

PREMIERE : Scape One - Glide In Syncopation

Conflict had never been his thing, he shied away from any form of confrontation, that said he somewhat enjoyed being a spectator. Casually pausing his music to listen into a heated argument on the train; watching from a distance as a friend challenged a drunken stranger getting in her space — as soon as it came to matters of his own though, he froze and retreated. On the fringes was where he'd always choose to remain.

It's been five years since Bintus unleashed anything into the world. Lucky for us he's back to 'cause a right old stink' with a new two-tracker on his own Power Vacuum imprint. It's a gutsy return that, in typical Bintus fashion, hits you smack bang in the face with a dose of acid, electro and rave sonics, from the squelchy staccato punches of title track 'Rag It!' to the acid-driven ride that is 'Millennium Speaker Stand'.

Rag It!

PREMIERE: Bintus - Millennium Speaker Stand [Power Vacuum]

The city was tired – it had been standing for too long. It was only a matter of time before the wheels came off and the industry which once was here retreated into the nothingness of empty warehouses and abandoned complexes. This was not how it had been supposed to end…

As the clouds passed over the sprawling metropolis, it were as if they too were leaving this place one by one. They came and went, much in the same way as the investment had done. All that was left here now were good people, kind spirits and the remainder of a once great empire which had stood tall and proud, built upon its machines.

Mark Hand & Neil Iceton channel influences from Detroit on this brilliant new EP for Innate. These tracks could have been recorded in the Motor City way back for all we know. Beautiful, wild, sprawling melodies are paired with fast paced drums and percussion which is built for dancing. This one comes highly recommended with a gold seal of approval.
