Dreams

The computer screens flickered, omitting a bright glow that lit the small dark room. Shoulder to shoulder smartly dressed men sat hovered over the screens, intently watching the information that shot across the screen in a rapid bursts. Illegible code and indecipherable numbers; blink and you'd miss it. From the outside, little was known about the operations taking place in this building. Many speculated but all were too afraid to ask...

Under his Pleasure Model alias, Bristol born producer and film composer Antoni Maiovvi explores his love of wave, synth and Italo disco. Having previously released an EP and two albums for Budapest's Dalmata Daniel, he now makes a return to the label ahead of his new LP on 100% Silk, delivering a four tracker titled Update 2.1. Written during a period spent living in The Hague, the release is a batch of freaky Italo jams, complete with weighty drums and soaring synths.

Artist: Will Flisk

When the official purveyors of Glasgow’s night(lyf) culture prematurely pull the plug on your not so subtle come-up, one question persists - where are the afters? A magic card and a jaded cabbie later, you have the answer - Lunacy. Step inside the place. An experience, an institute, a myth, and at last - a label. It goes without saying that the tunes are on a level, a 17 track tour-de-force from Gower Street with love. Lunacy's debut is a long time coming with five years of never-ending after parties on the clock.
From scheme dreams to young teams and that coming of age tenner bit. VA:101 DIA // ASKR breaches the boundaries of something more meaningful altogether. The micro history of the macro sesh in Glasgow's best worst kept secret - think the Hermetic Order;cultic hazing and rites-des-passage featuring smoke machines, strangers on E and Wully Dee, with a heavy hit of local lore and galactic luminaries. Motorway mythology, no smoking outside - it was unforgettable, if, of course you remember.
This one is out to the city beneath, just out of sight but always in mind.

"We all need a little side hustle. Sometimes diva, sometimes dancer, sometimes sex worker. In a mass famous state we're all cam girls darling. Are you going to turn down a pxssy like this? I don't think so. Big red blow job lips. Tiny nipples. Thigh high pointy shxt kicker boots. Bend over and zip them up slow."

Tonight she'd been left in the house alone; everybody else seemingly had prior engagements all on the same evening. Since moving in this was a situation she'd tried her utmost to avoid — it was the house's sheer vastness; its creaking floorboards and draughty windows; and its doorways that rattled vigourously on blustery nights. Of which, coincidentally, this evening was... 

Electronic duo Echaskech return to their own imprint VLSI for their first long player, Invisible City. Marking their fourth album, with the other three coming via their regular home Just Music, the 8 tracks across it are composed of a series of recent live performances which have been tweaked, polished and improvised. Sonically it's their most dance-floor focused release yet, merging pounding atmospheric techno with elements of electro, rave, acid and DnB.

U-TRAX proudly presents its first-ever compilation album, featuring a mix of tracks from its 90s roots, as well as new, never before released music compiled by Detroit producer Qmoog a.k.a. Roy Parker. R U There Yet? U-TRAX 20/20 Vision is the culmination of years of electronic artistry into one mixtape by an international collective of producers for the electronic music Utrecht based label U‑TRAX. The collection features artists from across the spectrum of modern music. In the tradition of mixtapes, it showcases a track by each artist that is uniquely different from the other, offering a blueprint for the future of electronic music collaborations. From the moment the quirky label re-emerged in 2018, label boss DJ White Delight has been in touch with many of his old heroes, including Detroit producer Roy ‘Green’ Parker, a.k.a. Qmoog. Parker is best known by techno connoisseurs for his leftfield releases on Rhythm-Tech and SSR, blending jazz and techno with ethereal vocals into unique soundscapes for the discerning listener. When played a few of the forthcoming U-TRAX albums, Parker got enthusiastic about the new direction of the label, recognizing that the crossing of boundaries will be the future of electronic music. That’s when he suggested to create a ‘mixtape’ and eventually wound up curating it. The compilation features eight tracks from the U-TRAX 90s archive by techno favorites like The Connection Machine, Tick Trax and Sonar Base, two tracks from last year (by Sp@sms and P.A. Presents) and four brand new tracks from forthcoming U-TRAX albums. One of which is made by Parker himself, a sensual tech-house hybrid that reminds one of Parker’s fellow Techno City producer Blake Baxter. The mixtape also features an instrumental hip-hop track by New York rapper/producer Thavius Beck, the 80 BPM electro chill-out opener by Los Angeles producer Nuklear Prophet and an upbeat, bordering on poppy remix Dutch electro producer w1b0 made for the band Mr Joe Abe. All tracks received a fresh new mastering treatment by Thee J Johanz of Bally Hoo Studios for this release.
