I knew this was gonna be good when I just heard the first few drops of rain. Beaut m8 <3

There hadn’t been a winter like this in decades; everything and everyone had ground to a complete halt. It was the kind of cold you could feel in your bones, the kind that took your breath away as soon as you stepped outside. People daren’t leave their houses in fear of losing fingers and toes to frostbite, or worse still, freezing over completely. It left the streets and shops eerily empty, as though some strange spirit had swept through and claimed all that was living for themselves.

The brainchild of producer and musician F.M., the Froid Dub project originally came to life during the first lockdown, but it wasn’t until it became a joint effort that it took its final form. Enlisting the help of fellow musician Fa_Fane, with whom he also runs the DELODIO imprint, the pair set about marrying synthetic and organic textures; the results of which make up their new release ‘DUBS & BEATS…’. The EP riffs off their debut EP, ‘An Iceberg Cruising the Jamaican Coastline’, collecting eight new dub versions and bonus beats that take the original icy cuts and rhythmic collages into new realms.

OS Premiere: Mary Lake - Passerine [Oddysee]

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

The music by Yan Kruau & Michele Ottini was first released in 2017 on 60 tapes only. Subject To Restrictions Discs makes them available on vinyl for the first time. Very raw, somewhere between darkwave and electro with soundtrack elements, the 6 tracks on “L'ultimo Di Noi” explore a yet not so common musical world. This release is limited to 200 copies

L'ultimo Di Noi EP

PREMIERE : Yan Kruau & Michele Ottini - Una Via D'uscita

Wandering amongst the city streets he was reminded of memories of the past when he used to run wild. Perhaps he'd been reckless and careless back then but at least he'd been free.

The man of the present was not afforded the same luxuries, instead he was trapped by the pressure of a systemic regime which had left him tired from work with little notion left for play.

Those memories were pleasant though - filled with happy go lucky sentiment from a simpler, easier, more peaceful time. Not like now...

Matheson appears on a new compilation from Belfast based record label Extended Play. The compilation see's them veer off piste - moving away from club focussed material to curate an assortment of leftfield electronics from rising stars and producers with promise.

PREMIERE: Matheson - Systemic [Extended Play]

Everything ground to a holt that morning. This seemingly well-oiled machine was not all it was cracked up to be; people had already left in their droves, only a few remained in the hope that they'd be rewarded for their commitment, but they'd be waiting a long time. Nobody knew the root cause of this breakdown but it had been a longtime coming, there was only so much those who wielded power could get away with before a mass exodus would ensue.

Newly born label Terra Magica are kicking off proceedings with a release from the two head honchos: Munich-based producers and DJs Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger. Under their Hektisch Sprengen guise, which in German means to blow up things in a very hectic manner, the pair are doing just the opposite sound-wise - the two tracks are slow analog jams that draw from an array of genres and places. The pair have invited four artists to remix the tracks too including our pick from Aussie producer DJ Chrysalis who puts a UK-G influenced spin on 'Dancing Dust'.

Rome’s Leone510 readies ‘It’s Our Time EP’ for Lorenzo Dada’s Electronic Music Division this February.
Run by Lorenzo Dada, Electronic Music Division is the record label of Centro Studi Musical Roma, a music academy in Rome founded in 1983. Having debuted in 2018 with ‘Today’ EP on his Vonsail label, the Rome-based Leone510, aka Giordano Leone, draws upon an emotive and rich palette of sounds for his first release on Dada’s imprint, the three-track ‘It’s Our Time EP’.
Leading the release, title cut ‘It’s Our Time’ sees melancholic melodies and atmospheric pads swirl together over sharp, propulsive drums, making for an engaging and moving piece. ‘Kiss The Rain’ follows, with floating arpeggios drifting across a full-bodied low end as injections of sampled noise puncture through the mix.
Rounding out the release is ‘Labyrinth’, a deep drum & bass inspired jam. Dulcet bass tones, jazzy chords, and rattling breakbeats combine for a psychedelic-tinged experience, closing out the EP in refined style.
