Crisp, brown leaves covered the ground throughout the woods; a beautiful autumnal carpet that would soon be swept away by the cold temperatures. There was something about this time of year that comforted them. Perhaps it was the freshness of the air that filled their lungs, or the beautiful tones of the bare oak trees that navigated their path home. Whatever it was, in these moments, the world felt peaceful and undisturbed.

For their sophomore release, International Extraterrestrial Music welcome Torom to the label for a five-track EP centred around organic rhythms. Limited to just 200 copies, the release —which follows the label's inaugural outing last year from Herb LF— blends earthy, wooden textures with fourth world atmospheres, layered over a sturdy foundation of rolling drums.

PREMIERE: Torom - Oak Tones [International Extraterrestrial Music]

There were glimmering colours and flickering lights which danced and bounced between the four walls of the grand old hall. Inside it revellers moved in a euphoric trance, engulfed by the saidas touch, a hypnotic force which bound them together and kept them moving in ignorant unison. It was a beautiful, magnificent thing - strangely fascinating to watch as each dancer moved simultaneously in time with the rumble and banging of drums as a myriad of colours exploded and flashed. 

Dj Willie Oboe is back and when I say that it will likely mean very little. However, if I were to tell you that it's a magical new moniker for one of the members of the infamous hardware inspired duo Frak you might be more excited. They are set to release a new EP on Lost Control, a somewhat more house focussed affair than their usual. However, it still carries that rough and ready, signature Frak sound.

PREMIERE: Dj Willie Oboe - Saidas Touch (Channelling EJ - ESP)[Lost Control]

Luca Lozano spent the 2020 lockdown sharpening his tools, using the time off from traveling and DJing to re-center and re-vise. As the pace of life slowed, so did the BPMs and the Klasse Wrecks boss sought refuge in the distraction that the studio and the creative practice can offer. 'Lozano 2.0' may sound like the producer shifting down a gear, but probably only with the goal of preserving his energy until the world is ready to spin again.

Butter Sessions tees up a flawless duo, Naarm (Melbourne) based artists Mousse(Simon Barry) and Trevor(James Vinciguerra) for a split 7" release with a screen-printed sleeve. Both artists add the release to their highly-regarded archives. On the A-Side, Mousse submits Northstar. This is his second contribution to Butter Sessions; a robust follow up to his funky explorations showcased on the Bungalow Classics12". On the flipside, Trevor follows up his 2019Becoming a Bed LP(Alter)with the astute Darron.


As one can expect, Mousse's Northstar is soaked in infectious house sequencing and sci-fi hypnobeat, while laced with dialogue extracted from the 1986 anime film Fist of the Northstar. The B-Side track Darron sees visual artist Trevor jumping from his contribution to the record sleeve into the record itself. The piece emits glitchy electro bound in coarse breaks but with just the right amount of room to breathe. As two punchy aligned compositions, this split release introduces a powerful pairing.

We’re Going Deep is a new label run by an old head – Paul Wise aka Placid, born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of deep electronic music and a thirst for collecting records since 1989.

Rather than staying too hung up on the past, the label’s mission is to release new music for the dance floor, your front room or even just your headphones. If you’ve come across the We're Going Deep forum – you’ll know all about the journey and the collective digging that goes deep into Acid, Electro, Techno, Deep House and even the odd foray into downtempo territory.

The environment around them was ever changing, for as much as it was bright and light there were also moments of bleak, bitter darkness. They lurked around the corner. The planet was as much a living organism as they were, a bubbling ball of fertile unrest and unpredictable consequences. As the clouds rolled by slowly overhead he listened to their rumbling - it was ominous and yet weighted with such promise. A living dub, a noise and a drone in the distant skies above. 

Max In The World is a New York based producer and label boss. He runs Bliss Point - a promising imprint with a penchant for deep, ethereal electronics, dub and beyond. Max himself is set to release a new EP at the start of this year. It features an all guns blazing remix from Lyon dj and producer Sentiments.

PREMIERE: Max In The World - The Living Dub (Sentiments' D-More Mix)[Bliss Point]

Travelling through this underwater world he wondered whether he might ever reach the surface and see the daylight again. There was nothing but a deep radiant ocean of blue all around him and as he looked onwards as to where he would swim there was little sign that he might ever reach the shore. Bubbles and ripples moved all around him and as he swam across the ocean floor he stroked his fingers through the grains of sand which solidified the bottom of the sea. It was vast and ever present, the deep blue. 

MSRG features on a new split EP alongside Aquatronics for Analog Concept. The record features a stunning assortment of abstract electro and fast paced beats for pondering thought. It also comes with artwork designed by Detroit artist and UR affiliate Abdul Qadim Haqq.
