Almost 10 years after he announced himself with that ​livewire remix of The Gossip's 'Standing In The Way Of Control', Tronik Youth is releasing his debut album this summer. 

Neil Parnell's got a shed load of frantic productions in his back catalogue, with tracks like 'We Are' on Back Yard Recordings a prime example of his electro credentials back in 2006, and last year's 'Edible Thoughts' providing a taste of his disco leanings nowadays. 

The Nein Records boss introduced his forthcoming album with the cosmic ruggedness of 'Splinter Of A Mind's Eye' earlier this year, and it's time for the follow-up, 'The Healer, with remixes from Emperor Machine, Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca, Chris Massey and Max Jones.

Premiere: Tronik Youth 'The Healer'

A release by Love In The Endz and Matraca

[untitled] Perú: Adentro es la segunda presentación de la colaboración curatorial entre los sellos Love in the Endz (UK) & Matraca (PE) enfocada en presentar al mundo talento del país Inca. En este volumen reunimos artistas peruanxs de distintas generaciones que trabajan desde dentro del país en un sonido único, cada cual a su manera, con artistas como: ARK, Carly Core, Cybernovia, Dr.100, Fer Lerant, Hatajo Som, Hanuna, Irazema, Khromatik, Pira Lemu, Shushupe, Vudufa, entre otros.

El Perú, al día de hoy, finales del 2025, atraviesa la crisis política y social más grave de su historia republicana con más de 8 presidentes en los últimos 10 años y los índices de violencia más altos de todos los tiempos. El congreso cooptado por el crimen organizado impone con leyes pro mafia y balas un régimen dictatorial y violento. Los militares apoyan esto así como el gobierno de USA que avanza en su intervención en el continente.

Mientras tanto en las calles el sicariato domina extorsionando a diario hasta a los más humildes trabajadorxs. Los músicos populares, por su parte, han comenzado a usar chalecos antibala en sus presentaciones ya que ya han asesinado a varios y herido a otros de bala en el escenario recientemente. Algunos, como la gran mayoría de jóvenes en el país desea, han optado por la migración como dejamos constancia en [untitled] Perú: Afuera.

La policía, por su parte, en vez de proteger a la ciudadanía se dedica a asesinar artistas (como TRVKO) e inocentes que reclaman por derechos, así como a reprimir la cultura y la libertad política. La Policía como el Estado y sus agentes han perdido ya total credibilidad.

La comunidad musical, frente a este panorama distópico y desolador, resiste firme creando con mayor ternura, o violencia, en sus ritmos y sonidos. De esta manera este álbum deja constancia de una diversidad que da cuenta de la riqueza cultural milenaria del Perú y una comunidad que exige Justicia y Dignidad para todxs lxs peruanxs.

Hanuna - Cleansing the Mind

"Shake That!" is a song by German band Scooter.  Shake the Mind however is a far superior track by Matt Walsh. It is by all accounts a bit of a belter. 

Matt Walsh has been lurking in our ears for many a year now. We're massive fans of his consistently and increasingly excellent Clouded Vision label. So much so he was one of our early Label Love-ees. With this new release though we think he's really hit on something rather special. 

Mr Daniel Avery has turned in a remix on the flip of this double A-Side but our vote sits firmly in the Original camp on this one... good job he's been so kind as to premiere it really isn't it? 

Ears open... go!

BBQ Techno 5

Sam n' Max

(en) French soundsmith Sebastien Bouchet has a well-documented knack for deep, eccentric techno and house – as well as a reputation for keeping his solo releases few and far between. Seeing him return to Kompakt under new monicker SEBASTOPOL is a pretty special treat, then – his last contribution to the Kompakt label family dates back to the year 2014, when he dropped the much-acclaimed Speicher 77 (KOMPAKT EXTRA 77). Naturally, expectations are high, and his latest offering GAHALOWOOD does not disappoint, seamlessly merging Bouchet’s leftfield sensibilities and unlikely riffs with a strong dance floor drive. 

Opener and title track GAHALOWOOD gets things off the launch pad quickly, thanks to its stoic kickdrum and surging synths – but it’s those vocals that really pull you in, evolving from atmospheric swabs of texture to full-blown mumblecore imbued with all the deadpan romanticism of an early 80s New Wave act. B side follow-up FLASH POOL seems equally committed to the human voice, deploying its intimate groove whispering upfront, but takes an unexpected turn into psychedelic cowbell territory where feral bleeps roam the lands and hooklines grow in the weirdest of places. Closing cut HEAVEN presents a comparatively straightforward house arc - while still sniffing out some trippy goodness that’ll leave your thirst of sonic adventure wholly satisfied.

FLASH POOL

It’s been two years since Stefan Z last released on this label, but the three tracks he serves up prove the wait has been more than worth it.

The Berlin based Canadian is the boss of the Rhombus label and is a top electronic production talent. He makes his sounds stand out with slick vocals or moving melodic elements, most likely because of his formally trained piano and trumpet playing skills. He’s had support from the likes of Sasha, Solomun and Adriatique, and his label parties in Vancouver were key in developing the city’s underground scene.

The super title track goes first and is a freaky number with spacecraft circling the groove, building tension in the melodic riffs and futurism in the drums. It’s a dramatic track with heavy, lumpy kicks and one to jolt the floor into action.

‘Borni’ is another long and involving tune, this time with more mystery and suspense in the way it builds. The drums get you marching as synths and ghoulish motifs pan about to creepy effect. It’s a real set building track that keeps you on edge.

Lastly, ‘Cipe’ is the toughest of the lot, with stiff hits and withering cosmic chords speaking of an intergalactic war. Underpinned by warm bass, it’s a widescreen cinematic affair with real beauty in the pads that eventually take over the show.

All three tracks here are mini epics that really take you on a trip.
