Nicodemo gets back to his own imprint with his italo touch, balearic infused; a hypnotic and effective track that jacks your body with plenty of hands-in-the-air synths, a pumping bassline, and rhythmic elements rising to a harmonic crescendo.

After the nuclear arms test that was the 'Brain Poacher' black label, Canary Islands resident Gilmer Galibard returns to the Lobster family via lucid, murky sub-label Mörk. 

Taking a much more languid and contemplative approach to his followup, 'Lost Tapes' finds itself washed ashore on a waves of warm, translucent, salt-infused techno and house. 

'Stoner's Paradise' is set deep in the Valencian rave, a '92 ode to the everlasting summer of love with a crunchy bedroom-produced edge. 'Frame Drag' segues into life through a refrain of slow dragging techno, somehow detached from it's own momentum, a hallucinogenic car ride in he early morn and a lone journey into the heart of the sun. 

On the flip, more eerie ghosts of the early Spanish warehouse parties emerge through the shuffling rhythms of 'Lost Tapes', possibly Gilmer's finest piece of techno to date , all hammering toms, rides on the 2, and Hague-style dream-pads. 

'Clickers' throbs into it's uptempo mono-droning life with a thumping, carpet-coated lesson in proper drum machine techno. A dubbed-out workout scraped from the depths of the DAT.

MÖRK009 // Gilmer Galibard - Lost Tapes

Crisp white snow covered the ground, burying all plant life that had once decorated the surface below. Icy branches lay bare, creating beautiful silhouettes against the murky sky. For months now the days had been long and dark, perpetually blending into the nights. The inhabitants of the city wandered the streets like lost souls, nomads of the world trying to find a place where they could belong. Something had to change soon, they had grown tired of this existence. 

Russian producer Module One is next up on Anna Wall's label, The Bricks. Following the last release from Sunrom, over three tracks Module One dives head first into deep atmospheric house, plus Chicago producer Tyree Cooper puts his own spin on the lead track.

PREMIERE: Module One - The One I Believe [The Bricks]

The lights flashed on suddenly inside the small basement, leaving dancers squinting underneath their glare. Signalling the end of the night, bodies swarmed towards the exit, making their way out into the street and into the early morning light. Huddling together, in hushed tones they began discussing their next movements, the night wouldn't be ending here. 

Warsaw-based label Ziema, the Polish for Earth, began life in March last year with an EP from label bosses Bartosz Kruczyñski (Earth Trax), Adam Brocki and Jan Wójcicki (Private Press). A natural extension of their studio in the heart of the Polish capital, the label focuses on positioning itself between the ethereal and the club, with an Eastern European touch. For release number two, the three of them come together once again, capturing different flavours of the club, from raw DJ tools to deeper, ethereal grooves and uplifting pads layered over TR-808 drums.

PREMIERE: Earth Trax & Newborn Jr. - Untitled B2 [Ziema]
