He was caught in the crossfire, a throng of shrill voices echoed out from all angles, and he wished to play no part in it. It had come to an apex after hours of back and forth; accusations had been thrown about, revelations were made, truces agreed — though not for long. He preferred to remain a spectator, to sit back and watch the madness unfold, to float in the flood...

Following Abul Mogard's reiterations of Tapan's Europa release in February, Berlin's Malka Tuti ready their next release, a solo debut from one half of Red Axes, Niv Arzi, under a new moniker: Nic Arizona. Ahead of the full album, 'Shavua Tov', which is set for release later this year, the label are teasing a couple of tracks for your listening (and dancing) pleasure — a 12" dance version and a remix from Salon Des Amateurs resident Lena Willikens.

PREMIERE: Nic Arizona - Floating The Flood (12" Version) [Malka Tuti]

/!\ Release only available through Top Cat Membership

"Whispers, moans, sweaty walls, silhouettes & sex toys. 
Welcome to the sex dungeon, you are first greeted by Maxi whole likes the whip and will want you to spank her, then by a masked figure who will finish you off, then experience dirty phone sex.
As you go deeper into the dungeon, things start to get stranger, girls ask you to put your rhino in their asses. And finally, you are greeted by the deepest and most sensual male for some outdoor sex on the balcony. The last step of the experience is a virtual reality trip going deep into the mind to blossom sexual inner emotions."

You get the gist, everyone is now hornier than ever without physical contact due to the pandemic. RFX dug deep in his record collection to pull out 6 sexually filled reworks to show you that there is a fine line between porno and music sometimes. 
Some of the lyrics even had to be censured... yeah we know it doesn't sound like it, but fuck it, sex is way too taboo already. Let your inner sexual beast out.

I'm Gonna Make You Cum (RFX Dark Edit) • [Top Cat Exclusive]

Melbourne based artist Dashiell debuts on Felt Sense Records with five hazy cuts, including a remix from Salt Mines co-founder Rudolf C. Dashiell is a Melbourne born and raised DJ & Producer and a member of production group Menage alongside Sam Brickel, who released a track on Kia's Animalia imprint back in June 2020. Dashiell is a devotee to glitch & minimal musical styles, which shine through in his 'Going Nowhere Fast' EP on Melbourne label Felt Sense Records. The EP features a collection of tracks recorded over several years in some of Dash's ever-evolving bootleg studio setups like laundry spaces, and leaky tin sheds. The EP opener 'Aspect' sees Dashiell invite Steeplejack artist Sam Brickell to feature. The track offers fluttering grooves, hypnotic pads and spacey, humming low frequencies before 'Going Nowhere Fast' lays down breaky rhythms, tripped-out fx and twinkling synths underneath. Up next, 'Oxy' takes things into minimal territories as the shimmering bassline fuse delicately with moody textures and dubbed-out vibrations whilst 'Scratching The Surface' features ambient atmospheres, breezy soundscapes and glistening melodies. To finish, Berlin-based Australian producer and Co-Founder of the Salt Mines label rolls out a loopy remix of 'Going Nowhere Fast' as he blends trippy electronics and murky tonality.

Captain Mustache - Floorwax feat. Foremost Poets [Return To Disorder]

Artist: Various Artists
Title:  Freerange 200 PartB
Release Date:  23rd March (Vinyl) 30th March (Digital)
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR200B & FRD200B

It’s with great pride (and a certain sense of defiance!) that Tom and I present
you with the 200th Freerange release. Despite the best efforts of three bankrupt
distributors, an arsonist (who set the Sony warehouse ablaze back in 2012) and a
volatile market, we retained the fire in our bellies, a stiff upper lip, and most
importantly an unrelenting passion for electronic music, we soldiered on and here
we are at Freerange 200!
To mark the occasion we wanted to put together a compilation of exclusive new
tracks from both long-standing Freerange regulars as well as some fresh artists
to the label whose music we’ve been loving.  Being committed to vinyl we figured
the best way would be to do a two part release with four-tracks on each part.

Turning to Part B we open with a brilliant track with almost as good a title;
Hamburglar from Luv Jam.  This guy has been responsible for killer cuts on
esteemed labels such as We Play House, Tsuba and Phonica White so we wanted in on
the action and thankfully he indulged us.  We absolutely love the raw simplicity
of this track which bumps along just perfectly with not much more than a kick,
clap and single note bass line to keep you grooving. Apart from the repeating
piano stab hooking you in and sending people nuts when everything drops out in
the break that is.
Esa & Mervin Granger come next with the sublime deepness of Goema Heat.  Esa’s
proudly wearing his Cape Town roots on his sleeves on this one and as the title
suggests, has come up with the perfect track to warm up any party worth it’s
salts. We’re talking heavy on the percussion and tantalizing synth FX and a
lovely tension which builds subtly before taking things up a gear after the
breakdown when the bouncing bassline comes to the fore.
It’s fare to say a Freerange release such as this wouldn’t be complete without a
Manuel Tur contribution, so while we’ve been busy putting together his
forthcoming Remix Retrospective LP we’re happy to say Manuel found the time to
put together this gem entitled Laguenesie.
And last but not least we have Kito Jempere with his track This Is Why We Do This
featuring Detroit luminary Jerry The Cat.  St. Petersburg native Kito drops
serious heat on this raw and dubby club jam which we feel is probably as close to
an ‘archetypal’ Freerange track as it’s possible to get so sums up this special
release perfectly.
