ÈBONY - Shades of Meridian [Turbo 251]
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/ShadesofMeridian

In the wake of their widely-acclaimed album Union, JUNO-nominated duo Èbony rematerialize on the dancefloor with the otherworldly Shades of Meridian EP, projecting a waking futurist dream haunted by echoes of Detroit techno, Chicago house, South African melodies, and the rich mythology of Ancient Toronto. 

Opener “Break My Skin explores a hidden pocket of after-hours techno space-time with an ethereal vocal by James Baley, leading into the tense, disembodied jack of “Forever.” Next, “Dull Side First” rides a spectral break through a sepulchral warehouse trip, “RIFT” invokes peak-time witchcraft, and closer “My Daylight” entrances even the most self-possessed sound-and-lighting guys to spam the smoke machine until reality itself is occluded. 

And to those who say that working with JUNO-nominated artists proves that Turbo is just a cog in the CanCon cabal, we would like to familiarize you with the facts: Canadian Tire refused to carry our 2023 Bryan Adams remix LP and we have rejected five separate demos from Justin Trudeau’s tech-house alias “Arabian Nights.” It’s called integrity — try looking it up sometime.

Dull Side First

A debut label outing from Ambient Babestation Meltdown & Borai, the production pairing whose musical partnership has birthed a string of releases on Optimo Music, Me Me Me and Ritual Poison.

Known for their excursions into scuzzy, cyberpunk and EBM electronics, they join forces once again for ‘Why The Tiger And The Monkey Are Sworn Enemies’; a three-track EP chronicles the pair’s ventures into chugging grooves, wormhole acid and early 00s tech house à la Playhouse and Rework.

The latest release from Berlin-based label PÚCA sounds is a double side fully equipped for the dancefloor, leaving room to explore across both tracks. Cola Ren’s remix of title track King Puck comes smooth and dubby into the chug, swelling with harmony between original percussions spun with Cola’s unmistakable touch.

Bleating is pushed through a late 90s/00s hall of mirrors, rolling with high energy glimmer in the hands of Tornado Wallace. Some ways towards spacey and ultra-danceable, this is a liquid gem of a B-side made to measure as it complements both tracks.

Tracklist:

A1 Murrin - King Puck (COLA REN Remix)
B1 Murrin - Bleating ( Tornado Wallace Remix)

PREMIERE: Murrin - Bleating (Tornado Wallace Remix) [Púca Sounds]

The A-side opens with the title track: spacious arpeggios and dreamy textures create a soundscape that invites you to get lost in the music, a tribute to the carefree spirit of the ’90s. "Techla" follows with a more minimal, introspective vibe. Its hypnotic bassline feels like a journey into the unknown.

The B-side starts with "Somo", a bright and catchy track full of sunny melodies and feel-good energy, evoking Italo disco moods. Finally, "Flusso Libero" closes the EP with elegance and depth. It features a unique vocal sample that stands out in Feel Fly’s style, tying everything together with a nod to ’90s nostalgia.

Seoul-based DJ Botermelk inaugurates his new label Venn with a four-track EP built for the floor. 'Rubber Glover' opens with a skewed stomp, its looping vocal fragments and bubbling FX locking into a hypnotic groove. 'Milwaukee' cools the pace into a dubby minimal stride, its soft synth swells and clipped percussion suggesting a sly after-hours mood. On the flip, 'Rearview' toughens up with a low-end rumble and menacing vocal snatches, a darker workout that contrasts neatly with what follows. Bristol's Boulderhead steps in to remix 'Rubber Glover', sharpening the drums and adding elastic drones for a buoyant, peak-time push. Across the set, Botermelk balances eccentricity with functionality - the kind of left-of-centre tools that signal both a strong label debut and a producer hitting his stride.

Jon Dixon has been a student of classical music since his teenage years, and brings a jazz sensibility to his techno. He is an Underground Resistance affiliate who has released music on cult labels like Planet E and is one of Detroit's most sought-after musicians, having performed with greats such as Amp Fiddler, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks, and Derrick May. His hi-tech sound is informed by time spent working with the late jazz icon Marcus Belgrave and comes on his own 4evr 4wrd as well as the likes of Nervous.

Sublime opener 'Layers To This' is perfectly indicative of his ageless fusion of jazz, techno, and Motor City magic. It's a mid-tempo cut with deep drums and busy synth lines that bring futuristic soul. As the drums march on, the percussion ramps up, and the drums become increasingly hypnotic, while the evolving synth work shines. 'Bridgehouse' is a brighter cut with nimble piano chord dancing over the tightly programmed but live-sounding drums. It's a life-affirming celebration with jazz energy and joyous melodies combining perfectly with the restless movement of the drums.

First remixers LA Synthesis, aka Carl Grant and Tony Gallagher, formed in South London in 1992 and became vital voices in the evolving techno sound of the time, in no small part thanks to their near-perfect debut album ‘Matrix Surfer’. They turn up the melodic brightness on 'Layers To This' with jittery broken beats and twitchy acid sounds all firing your synapses during a most interplanetary deep techno trip.

El Prevost heads up No Speakers - and the party of the same name - after more than 20 years in the underground, releasing across the house and techno spectrum and paving the way for the grime and garage crossover with his cult Linx Recordings label. Here, he transforms 'Bridgehouse' into a darker sound with tense synths twanging behind scattered chords. The push and pull between the two make for an alluring dance floor tension.

PREMIERE : Jon Dixon - Layers To This

Physical: geographic-north.com/vinyl/lifetime-of-love/
Digital: geographicnorth.bandcamp.com/album/lifetime-of-love
Catalog #: GN41
Limited to 300 double-LPs on pink and yellow vinyl
Mastered by Heba Kadry at Timeless Mastering

'Lifetime of Love' is the debut album by Moon Diagrams, the solo recording project of Deerhunter co-founder and drummer Moses John Archuleta. Recorded in Georgia (Atlanta and Athens) and Manhattan (East Village) over a 10-year period, 'Lifetime of Love' finds Archuleta processing various stages of love, loss, and regeneration via forlorn outsider pop, minimal techno, and warm, weightless experimentation.
 
Archuleta follows sudden fits of inspiration or moments of chance, letting the unknown happen naturally while still confining himself to a specific set of boundaries. Samples were often taken from thrift store-sourced LPs, removed from their sleeves and chosen at random to find loops and textures. Elsewhere, Archuleta would anonymize digital songs and sound files, erasing track names, and re-recording new versions of the randomized mixes.

'Lifetime of Love' is the result of three extended fugue states, each marked by specific moments of catharsis. In 2007, between the release of Deerhunter’s breakout LP Cryptograms and 2008 LP Microcastle, Archuleta began his earliest solo experiments. The nascent exploration was enough to free himself and create sounds without inhibition. “Bodymaker” and “Nightmoves” are products of Archuleta’s earliest solo recordings, capturing his willingness to venture outside of the taut, mesmerizing drone rock of his main band. The chilling, ambient techno of “Nightmoves” perfectly foils and compliments the broodingly sullen but sincerely beautiful shuffle into the dark.
 
Between 2012 and 2015, Archuleta experienced a reset of sorts, including the collapse of his marriage (a 10-year long relationship), touring support for Ariel Pink and James Ferraro, and a rekindled interest in his solo material. He began actively cutting himself off from a number of personal relationships and experimented with various drugs to begin recording again. Locking himself in his practice space, Archuleta would use only the spare instruments he found laying around in recording sessions. This period yielded a disparate mix of sonic sketches, from eerily bucolic choir recordings (“Playground”), dusty art-pop (“Moon Diagrams”), and infectiously jubilant dance pop (“End of Heartache”).
 
For the final period, Archuleta found inspiration following an extended stint in Berlin, when he had flown out of the US on Christmas day, largely estranging himself from his friends and family. While holed up in the Michelberger Hotel, Archuleta fully intended to finish his debut LP. Instead, he remained in a state of relative isolation, haunting the hotel and taking in the city’s dark energy. After three weeks, Archuleta returned home in Atlanta, without having made much headway on the album. Feeling unproductive, depressed, and marred by jetlag, Archuleta resolved to finish the LP, working in a three-day fury of productivity that resulted in “Blue Ring,” “Ghost and the Host,” “Magic Killer,” and the final edits of 'Lifetime of Love.'
 
Subtly grandiose and quietly epic, the album explores a hopeful and curious beginning, a morose middle, and a bittersweet, optimistic end.

Moon Diagrams - Bodymaker

Following his debut solo album 'Lifetime of Love' which came out earlier this year after a ten-year gestation period, Moon Diagrams (aka Deerhunter drummer Moses John Archuleta) will be releasing a special pink vinyl remix 7" featuring two artists from Glasgow's underground dance scene - Happy Meals and Komodo Kolektif.

Happy Meals and Moon Diagrams are also playing a special double-header show at Corsica Studios on 20th November. That's the place to be if you wanna grab an advance copy of the 7" - it'll also be available at Sonic Cathedral's stall at the Independent Label Market on 25th Nov, and then after that you can get it on their website.

We're premiering Happy Meals' remix of 'End of Heartache', in which the synth pop duo recast Moon Diagrams' original as a lush slice of '80s electro.
