Tongue-in-cheek as usual, belleter Niklas Wandt melts up pianos, acid lines and bass heavy breaks as raw material for Die Glocke (The Bell). When the hunchback pours the lead of three decades of rave culture onto your lost souls, it’s too late for shelter. Fantastic Twins evaporates not just the bell but the whole bell tower into particles of peak time madness for the mental cases.

On the flip Bodyzeit heats up on an even more old schoolish tip with breaks that definitely win the bumper car dancefloor. Very sorry for the spilt drinks, thrown fags, popped pills, ripped shirts and funny faces trying to sing along these german vocoder phrases. Borusiade doing some serious bodywork, shifting gears down in her lowrider manner, modding this burner into a dreamish but deep wee-hour masterride.

After Los Pashminas' debut release, we put the music in the hands of these five trusted producers. While Que Sakamoto & NT raise the BPMs for high dancefloor effectiveness, Tassilo Vanhöfen adds his touch by making ‘Turtle Haze Convolution’ a heavy and dark groove bomb. Lastrack transforms the same track into a massive base-slash-dubstep number that will unleash its power on any big sound system. Anna Vs June from Athens adds a personal touch to ‘Chameleon Brain Dance’ by contributing her own voice and DJ Blech explores the world of polyrhythms and creates a trippy journey on the base of ‘Lobster Symbiotic Dialogue’.

PREMIERE : Los Pashminas - Turtle Haze Convolution (Que Sakamoto & NT Remix)

Unanswered emails piled up, unread messages clogged his inbox - he had no desire to answer their pleas or succumb to the days worth of grovelling. There was little that could be said to change the way he felt, no amount of words or showering of gifts would change things, this time he couldn't forgive and forget - even if he wanted to. Grudges had never been his thing, it was generally more effort than it was worth, but on this occasion the situation was unforgivable... 

20/20 Vision's Exit Planet Earth series began life back in 2020, just as the pandemic was beginning and lockdown was around the corner. Originally intended to provide a snapshot of how artists were feeling at this time through captivating, original music, the series soon took on a life of its own and is now reaching the ripe old age of 10. Each release features music from stalwarts and emerging names, and on this occasion involves over 25 artists from across the world. Largely concerning itself with music close to the label's heart - namely electro and techno - this 10th volume includes music from Egyptian Lover & Soul Clap, Kosh, Annie Hall, London Modular Alliance, Mr Ho and Xiaolin, among many others.

PREMIERE: Mr Ho & Xiaolin - No Change To How I Feel [20/20 Vision]

Human Endeavour Records announces its third release, ‘Comfort Zone’, from Geneva-based producer Reda Saiarh (@redasa).

Having appeared on the label’s inaugural Various Artists release, ‘Trains Of Thought’, Reda now steps up to the plate for his first solo EP on the imprint, which showcases his fresh, forward-thinking take on Belgian New Beat.

He approaches the traditions of the genre with a completely new twist that weaves elements of progressive trance, jackin’ 90s house and Italo disco into the mix, alongside his trusty bank of signature New Beat samples.

In his own words: “Comfort Zone is my space of creation, no words, only feelings and apprehensions. Each track explains a piece of my environment and experiences.”

Comfort Zone will be released in full on 14/02/23.

Artwork by Sam Bailey.

Exclusive: Credit 00 - Save The Forest!

Alexander Dorn, better known as Credit 00, returns to Uncanny Valley to release his No More Sad Trance EP, a four tracker highlighting the artist’s musical extravaganza as well as love of experimentation when it comes to own productions and therefore consists out of a conglomerate of sounds and influences reaching from Jungle, Garage over to Trance and 90s Pop and more. Save The Forest!, the last track on the EP, shows signs of Trance-typical sounds with slight 90s nuances put over a lush bass line. Wobbling chords, slight Acid bleeps and short Break-esque round off the track making one musically dive into the rain forest as the before mentioned sounds create not only the atmosphere of it but also deliver an approach for a visualization of the scenery. 

Credit 00's EP No More Sad Trance is out on Uncanny Valley.

EXCLUSIVE: Credit 00 - Save The Forest! [Uncanny Valley]

Tears began to flood his eyes and he couldn't catch his breath. He was keeled over, rolling around on the floor in fits of laughter. As soon as he'd calmed himself down just the slightest amount, he was off again in all-engulfing hysterics, the kind that shook your entire body and turned your cheeks a deep shade of red. What had even set him off in the first place? He couldn't actually remember... 'Now that's funny in itself', he thought... And off he went again...

Never one to take a straight-forward approach when it comes to music-making, Berlin-based master of everything Niklas Wandt throws all that good stuff in the mix for his new release on Warning. It's exactly what you would expect from the producer, percussionist, drummer, singer and knob twiddler - it's a mishmash of all the sounds that inspire him; there's robotic vocoder passages, ravey stabs, lush piano chords, squelchy acid lines and dusty breaks a plenty. Alongside the two originals, there's remixes from our good friend Fantastic Twins and another regular RSN collaborator Borusiade, who both put their own flips on Niklas' one of a kind creations.
