Cubik consist of Michael Sweeney, Clark 'Pav' Davison & Jo Howard (Bird Of Paradise), North East likely lads who have been running parties since 2012, supporting the likes of Daniel Avery, Todd Terje, Man Power and John Talabot. On their debut production for Nein, they show a raw and stripped back slo- techmo: sub-bass kicks, glitchy percussion, crashing cymbals and a bassline which echoes Aphex Twin. Darkroom business, with glimpses of the bright lights just out of reach.

The San Francisco-England rave connection has always been strong from the early days when several English rave crews moved to and influenced the US city with an already strong history of dance music. The new offering from Roam Recordings carries on that tradition by bringing together English producers Heretic (aka Timothy Clerkin whose dark and rugged stylings can be heard on labels such as Nein, Porn Wax, and Throne of Blood) + Buran (the more dance floor focused project from the former Big Mister Doom aka Ian Scott and Joe Wretham) with San Francisco’s finest Jason Kendig of Honey Soundsystem and the acid duo and Chicago transplants Secret Studio (Tyrell Williams and Bryan Balli). The result is a beast of underground acid house bangers. The title track ‘Revile’ comes in three versions - Original, Kendig remix, and Secret Studios remix - all dark and eerie with punch and grit. The unremixed Fractal rounds out this EP with a bit of smoothness but continues to keep the warehouse/dark club vibe that resonates through this EP. This EP is strictly underground and strictly vinyl (300 limited).

After a hiatus of 11 years it appears "Monkeyshop", aka Gothenburg electro kings Luke Eargoggle & Rutherford, are using the "Vivod" portal for their current works, this being their second ep for Ali Renault's imprint. Title track "Island of Love" is a melodious sprawling opus perfect for keeping the summer vibes going all year round and takes the whole of side A. Side B has two more cuts. "Heartbreak" is another disco pulser and the final track premiered here is "Island of Love" given a brilliant rework treatment from fellow Swede electroist "Obergman". Monkeyshop are back and they mean business ! Usual deal, limited to 300 copies with full screen print and Vivod sticker.

PREMIERE : Heinrich Dressel -  Space Wave Shaft

The empty space lay abandoned and bare. In the middle of the warehouse there was nothing which demonstrated that an enterprise had ever existed here. The brick walls lay bare and cold, the metal pillars loomed hauntingly. This was now a place which would soon be forgotten, one of the many buildings lost to the grunge and despair of a city in a state of alert. All around this place businesses had begun to leave, they had been bought out, priced out and as a result their ability to produce had collapsed. Cavitation was all that existed, all around. The shells of a life now vanished. 

Raccoglimento Parziale releases on Oltrarno Recordings as he unveils his new body of work titled "Observing Organic Structures".

Observing Organic Structures

PREMIERE: Raccoglimento Parziale - Cavitation [Oltrarno Recordings]

Utterly bent and disturbing in unequal measures, Messrs Smagghe and Cross take Mugwump’s Factory paean and provide a new beat. Mangled with anxious bass, reverse white noise, sub earth oscillations and Stuka riffs, it’s the perfect thing to open the door to small kids with this week. That’ll learn ‘em.

PREMIERE: Mugwump - Breakdown (Smagghe & Cross Version)[Subfield]

The voice echoed down the corridor. He could hear it from a mile away. In all honesty, now he came to think of it he could probably hear it from a hundred thousand miles away. He might as well be on another continent, the nagging would still somehow find a way to penetrate and torment his brain. He had heard about the trouble the noise had caused for others. They had been haunted, some had even gone mad they said. He had always hoped it would never be this bad but right now it was unbareable. 

Mike Simonetti & Ryan Parks have recently compiled a release called 'Harsh Riddims' which is set to be released by 2MR on Friday this week.

PREMIERE: Love Letters - Nag (TWIN'S 'can we?' Mix)[2MR]

The sun cast a dreamy glow over the sand dunes. Night was about to fall across the Gobi Desert and not a sound could be heard. The blue light faded into the distance and all that was left but darkness. You could smell the heat in the night's air, it clung to you like a warm embrace. Many people had longed to walk across this beautiful landscape but few had ever been brave enough to take the risk. The possibility that one might die in the middle of nowhere was too haunting for many, no matter how stunning the burial. 

Peur Bleue return with yet more charm and lush sounds as they are set to release a new EP from Benoit B. His new EP, titled 'Tropico Timelexia', sees an enchanting take on house and soundscapes.

PREMIERE: Benoit B - A Night In Gobi Desert [Peur Bleue]

Something had happened. But our minds were too nebulized, our visions to blurry to remember what it was. When we stopped searching for our inner and outer selves in past tenses we eventually fully realized it was the future we had to sharpen our senses for. In the things that lay upon us, things that were bound to happen, we would find shelter. That universally necessitated shelter, which we could rely on, would give us possibilities to conquer unseen grounds to walk on. Only then we would find out it was not us envisioning this new land, but the land that envisioned us, that saw us firmly walking on its unspeakable grounds, allowing us to go wherever we could imagine ourselves to go to. We fly toward grace.

Rhytch is an artist based in Berlin. When we were originally approached by the label about featuring a track from his forthcoming LP 'Baba Ganoush' it was through a friend. It was quite the introduction and the record is an exciting prospect. Ancient Future Now, a label from Cologne, are set to release it.

Jex Opolis Presents: "In The Nite", a versatile new EP featuring three cosmic cuts from the NYC-based musician and producer. The new music also features the help of Ian D. Knight, a St. Louis-based performance artist. After a chance meeting at a Knight performance in Chelsea last winter, the pair decamped to Jex’s NY-based rooftop greenhouse/studio for a two-week session of music and vaping. With Knight on-hand mostly for spiritual guidance and janitorial duties, the tracks flowed like organic wine and the wine flowed like really smooth music. Knight features most prominently on the Compass Point-tinged “Look At My Car!,” a Paean to the joys of both consumerism and rampant motorism. Meanwhile, Jex whips out the Strat for some Chic-inspired licks on the chugging “Guitar Sands" here premiered. And on the flip, “Rimini Nites” is a straight-ahead 120 BPM Italo stomper. One for the heads!

Lord RAJA - Fox Den

global grief hangs heavy as summer heat
drenched in rage and crying for relief 
and i'm sweating 

and all the times that I ignored my scream
a defensive action that preserves my humanity 
but still, i'm sweating 

and I can't cry another lullaby for a baby that's watched its father die 
and I can't sigh another angry sigh for an insecure man that's telling lies
and I can't change the mind of a lonely guy who won't let my friend go rightfully inside

i'm sweating
