BREAD HEAD DEAD HEART

In 2017, Lauren Lo Sung had one of the best years of her career as she propelled into the spotlight more so than ever. 

After the amazing 'Tresor' EP via House Puff, she heads over to DJ Steaw's main imprint 'Rutilance' for another super hyped record. 

Lead track 'Worthless' has already been doing the rounds but now it's time for 'All Fuzzy', a sultry, bumping house track that's all killer and no filler.

The 'Worthless' EP will drop via Rutilance

Info

Steve Bug - Different In Detroit

ARTIST: VARIOUS ARTISTS
TITLE: ONDERWERELD EP
LABEL: CULTIVATED ELECTRONICS LTD
CATALOGUE NO: CELTD003
FORMAT: VINYL
RELEASED: 03 AUGUST 2020

TRACK LISTING:
A1. COSMOX – ELECTROSTRESS
A2. 543FF – EASY
B1. STAR-KID, GAMMA INTEL & 543FF – THREE CITY FIRM
B2. STAR-KID, GAMMA INTEL & 543FF – THREE CITY FIRM (543FF REMIX)

Coming next on Cultivated Electronics Ltd (CE’s limited vinyl offshoot) is a V/A EP entitled ‘Onderwereld’ which takes its name from a former atomic bunker based in The Hague (Netherlands) that housed music studios, offices and the Intergalactic FM station, Onderwereld Radio.  The building had to be vacated last year, but the amalgamation of some of those artists and their creative resources lives on.  Together, they encapsulate the new underground sound of The Hague.

Opening the A-side is a track by Crave Festival organiser, Cosmox who delivers tough staccato Electro-funk on ‘Electrostress’, before 543ff (a regular player on the Dutch Electro scene who’s released on ÆX and has a forthcoming album on Diffuse Reality) brings stripped-back beats and layers of melody on ‘Easy’.

Keeping the Onderwereld collaborative ethos alive, 543ff joins forces with Star-kid (Bunker Records) and Gamma Intel (Brokntoys / Pinkman) on the B-side, for ‘Three City Firm’.  Their original version is dark and bristling, while 543ff’s remix takes the track on a galactic ride.

The enclosure of night promises freedom of another kind. Subterranean fantasies are consecrated in flesh. The voice calls and is answered by a beating pulse. They swell and break in rapturous cycles. On Sombras, Dosis (ZDBT & NAP) operates from this intimate space, conjuring electroid visions rooted in techno, zynth-pop and nuova-beat.

Jungle flavours run rampant through CKNOWEP26. This time Frey (aka the prolific Benedikt Frey) joins us to lay down 3 jungle infused rhythms. Title track 'Shadow' and 'D.Y.S.' expertly blend complex drums and morphing synthesis with the haunting and recondite vocals of Nadia D'Alo on the A-side. PI rounds off the record with a more familiar jungle outing but is by all means as unique as the rest of the record. One for the heads, inside! Available 10 August 2020.

Full digital release to follow in September

BNJMN - Hypnagogia Remixed - Delsin Records (131dsr-rmx)
Tracklist 12"
   a1. Hypnagogia Part 2 (Efdemin Remix) @efdemin
   a2. Indub (Luigi Tozzi Remix) @luigitozzi
   b1. Atoms Speak (rRoxymore Remix) @rroxymore
   b2. Moth Lines (Mattheis Remix) @mattheis

BNJMN's (@bnjmnnn) album Hypnagogia gets the remix treatment. The Berlin based Brit is a common name seen on Delsin since 2014. With his adventurous techno ambient sounds he released several EPs and his latest full length back in 2018 on the Amsterdam imprint. Here he invites four of his favourite producers to give their twist to his latest album.

Up first, Efdemin turns one of the title tracks into a driving and fierce techno twister where Italian producer Luigi Tozzi eases out the bounciness of Indub's original into an atmospheric dub-techno floater. On the flip rRoxymore does her magic with squeaky percussion riffs and playful melodies turning the original ambient jam into a vivid dance floor roller. Finalizing the pack is Nous'klaer mainstay Mattheis using his instinctive feeling for melodies to create a hypnotizing yet gentle version of Moth Lines.

The rain was coming down thick and fast, providing some respite from the scorching sun that had commandeered weather reports for the last month. Thunderous rumblings from overhead had never been so welcome, it felt wonderful listening to the heavens open from the comfort of their four walls. For now at least, but it wouldn't be long before they'd be willing the sun to return once more...

Censor Records call on the talents of London Modular Alliance for their next release, a four track EP from core member Phil Ventre, backed up by a remix from label boss Alex Jann. Ventre's background co-running synth shop London Modular plays into his innate ability for crafting meticulous rhythms and singular sound palettes, with his Glass Cannon EP bringing wigged-out mechanics, synth stabs and lo-slung shuffling drum patterns in abundance.
