Te Puke Thunder is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most sought after cannabis strains. 

Hailing from the volcanic regions of New Zealand, Te Puke Thunder is prized for its larger buds and higher potency. Gaining popularity in the 70s, the polyploid plant succeeded in becoming a well renowned strain and was notably displayed in a number of Amsterdam coffee shops.

New Zealand authorities believe they have successfully wiped out the majority, if not all, possible trails for the whereabouts of the venerable strain. Some believe there may not be a single seed left with the unmatched genetics of the original Te Puke Thunder strain. 

If any old timers are still growing it, please contact idwtrecordings@gmail.com - we would love to talk.

For now, the hunt for the elusive strain lives on…

Polarized

PREMIERE: The Dude Of Stratosphear - Polarized [Sphearic Records]

Boredom had set in, she'd been on the end of the line for what felt like eternity. Her fingers felt course from drumming on the table for so long; willing the time away so she could begin her life again. The music chirped loudly in her ear, the same snippet played on loop over and over and over again. Would she lose her mind waiting for an answer?

Set up to highlight the sounds coming out of their home of Los Angeles, Let's Play House's Nik Mercer and a fellow LA native have launched Zen 2000, an imprint that will platform friends and family who bear a deep connection to the Californian city. First up is a two tracker from House Of Ho, that sits somewhere between Hong Kong and the City of Angels, both sonically and in its origin, having been written, recorded and produced between the two locations.

Voltags arises from the fusion between the performer Volatille with the German producer Gats. Synthesized songs, distorted guitars. Cyber post-punk accompanied by Vola's aggressive, mocking
and sexual voice.

Chaos Center, the duo's debut EP, carries a cellular atmosphere of telemarketing, transmedia calls that cross and intersect in a zeitgeist Cold Turkey of the current anti-virtual pandemusic.

The album is also an exhibition of photographs by Brazilian visual artist and performer Nube Abe.

Black Flamingo Disco Driver & Marzian present Arp Battery, their first collaboration EP forging an electronic alliance that explores the most intimate paths of psychedelia and uplifting beats of the future. Berlin label ODD Pleasures continues to consolidate itself as a reference label and presents in this release 2 originals and 4 powerful remixes by artists such as Freudenthal, Adrian Marth, Disco Mortale and Random Atlas.

Arp Battery is a track designed for the rush hour of the night, characterized by a powerful bass chained to infectious rhythms and luminous leads that take the dancer to an unknown state of mind. Yarara is the second original of this work, in which the artists expose a dark vision and a dystopian atmosphere at a low revolution bpm.

In charge of the remixes, the artists invited to this sonic delight have contributed tracks that are true gold. Freudenthal makes Arp Battery a very atmospheric track in which he transforms the original into a progressive sonic journey ideal for a sunset. Adrian Marth, the current king of Italo disco, brings out all his heavy artillery and collection of lush synthesizers in the form of a new beat banger, which transports us to the best of the 80's sounds driven by massive electro beats and obscure synths. Disco Mortale presents his demonic and thuggish side to create a killer bomb, straight to explode a dance floor with its frenetic rhythm. Rounding up the release, ODD Pleasures’s bosses, Random Atlas join this board of specialists with their own vision of Yarara, presenting a lisergic trip, an organic journey of haunted melodies and textures. A blend of exotic twisted vibes with an elegant powerful presentation.

The Answer

Born from a mutual admiration of the groove ethic of 90s house music, Primitive Needs is the collaborative project of Melbourne locals Matt Stringfellow and Jackson Gray. Whilst staying true to their formative influences, the new project channels a natural progression towards late night club ready sounds, aided and abetted by an influx of new hardware and time in isolation. The dj and production duo step up with their debut "Phase Unity" for DAD008 displaying an array of house & breakbeat across the board with fellow Melbournian lads DJ Life, and Escape Artist on remix duties!

Marie Touchet - Collège infernal (House Paradise version) (STW Premiere)

Origins" is a collection of 6 pillars in exploratory electronic music from 6 different uprising producers and sound artists. A varied, yet cohesive collection of bright, meditative, and pulsating atmospheres.

The opening track, "Hornet", from Florida's Alien House uncovers otherworldly landscapes as they traverse through a haze of deep-space electro. Fluttering synths fill barren craters where shadow figures lurk in and out of light. Rising and rising with a strange, euphoric tension.

The elusive Joe Gigs follows suit with "Time Slip", a slow-rolling house arrangement that stutters underneath a chord phrase built for an endless sunrise. Faint vocals echo out as an introspective flute pattern comes into view. Finally met with a warm, slinky bass-line that tingles the spine.

Continuing on with the house grooves, Portland's Well Being gives us "Soft Mood", which is just that. Shiny, crisp percussive elements ride a groove that peaks and valleys in all the right ways. Gentle acid bass echoes out in radar ping patterns while swells of smooth synth and indistinct vocal chops fill the room.

Starting on the flipside we have a choice cut from Austin, TX stalwart, Corduroi. Deep, lush synths become the lifeblood of "Planet Cool" while a break-ish rhythm catapults us into orbit. Acid bass sequences drip like honey as the synths gain energy and form. Suddenly we find ourselves four on the floor as every element seamlessly lives as one.

Nestled in the middle of side B features "Cloud Mirror" from Akasha System. Hushed out toms and broken snares meet breathy, misty synths before the sub bass guides us into the next realm. Suddenly a hazy bell phrase comes into view followed by mysterious clicks and clacks. And of course, what A.S. song would be complete without a dreamy mallet section?

Couldn't think of a better finale than this epic journey of a track from LA's Pkacarl. "Holding Together" starts us off with an end-of-the-world piano scenario before being joined by what can only be described as an electric guitar oozing through the portals of an entire galaxy of synths and pedals. What really makes this song is the mind-crushing bass-line with an invincible spirit that may keep you dancing infinitely.
