Nicolas Bougaïeff - Recursive 4

Everyday felt the same, there was little variation in the tasks and activities that filled their time. Spontaneity was a non-existent idea - repetition ruled their every move. It had become such a normal way of living that now they didn't know any different, any alternate options or changes to their routine through everything into disarray. They'd given up fighting it, repeating patterns would forever be their reality.

Having made a mark with his debut LP last year on Kneaded Pains, Fossil Archive now returns to his own eponymous label for a new solo EP, Pattern Repeat. Made up of four tracks of celestial acid, emotive techno and hypnotic trips for the dance floor, the release is a taster of all the things Fossil Archive does best.

For the title track he teams up with Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa who provides ethereal vocals that lift the track into the heavens. This isn't the first time the pair have joined forces with Fossil Archive and Sub Club's Stevie Cox bringing the singer, producer and DJ on board for their recent collaborative EP for Hammer's Remmah imprint.

After some time, A Thousand Details is back on ANAØH.
'Forced Inflation' is the result of the hard work that this Portuguese artist has been doing for years, who enjoys enormous prestige as a synthesizer and specialist in machines.
Strong rhythms, high speeds, deep synth lines, but with that classic Detroit touch that we like so much.
Unexpected cartwheels and powerful percussion give presence and personality to each of the tracks that make up this release.

Dogstarr – Dance Mrwebi Dance EP (TOYTOY Music)
The debut release on TOYTOY’s label comes from resident Dogstarr, who channels the spirit of
Johannesburg’s underground into a five-track EP, plus a hypnotic remix from CraigPlacid. Dance
Mrwebi Dance moves through deep, driving, and euphoric spaces — a record that mirrors the diverse
energy of TOYTOY’s dance floor.

1 ) Dance Mrwebi Dance
The title track locks into a pulse, its hypnotic percussion and rolling low-end creating a meditative
groove that feels equal parts ritual and release.

2) Moonlight
Sharp, urgent, and atmospheric, Moonlight moves with a restless drive. Metallic textures and layered
rhythms give it a shadowy tension that pulls dancers deeper into the floor.

3) Left the Building (Apartment Version)
This cut slows things down and stretches out the space. With its stripped, dub-infused feel, it’s a heady,
introspective moment on the EP, perfect for deeper hours.

4) Get Off Your Block( Extended Version)
The updated version of this track is faster, darker, and more intense — a peak-time weapon built for
strobe-lit rooms. Its relentless percussion and raw energy capture Dogstarr’s harder edge.

5) Sunrise Over Gwi Gwi (CraigPlacid Remix)
CraigPlacid closes the EP with a widescreen rework, morphing the original into a hypnotic sunrise
anthem. Expansive and deep, it feels like the perfect come-up after the storm.

Tensal – Extra Inertia EP
KYN006

Mastered by Neel @ EnissLab Studios, Rome
Release date: 24/03/17, vinyl + digital
Artwork by Christopher Honeywell
Distributed by N.E.W.S.

New versions of Tensal’s ‘Opposite Inertia’ EP, with a remake of his own and contributions from Mike Parker and Pangaea. 

One the most distinctive artists in techno, Mike Parker, combines his signature, modulated bassline and sharp claps with the off-kilter rhythm of ‘Inertia 1’. Tensal’s remake of ‘Inertia 2’ is direct, peak-time gear. The synth line is kept front and centre, the beat is heavy and expertly arranged. Pangaea, of Hessle Audio, switches up the broken rhythm of ‘Inertia 3’ and adds the kind of unusual touches that make his records stand out.

Mastered by Giuseppe Tillieci aka Neel @ EnissLab Studio, Rome. Pressed at at Optimal Media. Packaged in a house sleeve. All artwork designed by Christopher Honeywell.
