Globe trotting crate digger Daniel T, exploded on to the scene with a string of releases after his amazing debut Tetrachromat on Young Adults a couple of years back. Daniel has been growing some serious gems in his laboratory. Two gems that have come to maturity and have been plucked for the Fahrenheit/Celsius EP on Cosmic Pint Glass records.Daniel has crafted something special in these two cuts. Beautiful, bouncy and positive tracks that work as well on the dance floor as in the soundtrack to a road trip. After hearing them, CPG called in their top men Lauer and Jack Pattern for remix duties.

PREMIERE : Daniel T - Celsius

The dancing had begun in the depths of the cave. The music whirled and echoed around the chamber as the fire began to blaze. This was nothing like he had ever imagined or foreseen. The place was packed to the rafters and the warwhoops of a nation would be heard all throughout the night. This was animalistic, primal by nature and as the time went on the chaos descended into a carpathian rave of monstrous proportions. Away they went, on and on. 

Youngg P steps up to release a jacking primal house come techno EP for the infamous up and coming Private Persons record label. This one is packed with drive and precision.

5ive, Samo DJ & Powder – Drunkenstein

The voyage would take quite some time. The journey would be long but in the end it would all be worth it. As they left their little island they wondered what lay beyond the wild seas. Just like their forefathers who had come before they would travel to unchartered lands, seeking out prosperity, hope and wonder. As the sun set behind them upon their old home they did not look back, for there was to be no reflection on the past and time was of the essence.

Janeret is just one of an array of artists who are set to appear on a brand new compilation being presented by Illusion Recordings. Norm Talley, Keith Worthy and many more also feature.

Illusion Recordings Presents Connections Vol.1

PREMIERE: Janeret - Traveller [Illusion Recordings]

The multi faceted functionality of the human spirit was a remarkable feat. The machines watched with fascination as they looked out upon the condition of those living amongst the sand. In the midst of the desert lay their spectacularly mirrored space ship, an entity in its own right and a strange spectacle to behold amidst the Middle Eastern backdrop. They pondered relentlessly the nature of such interaction between body and mind, yet they could not comprehend or decipher the orchestration of actions and which was a result of the other. 

Lockyear has received far reaching support around this release. The latest edition to the OTB catalogue sees him deliver three inspired cuts which sit somewhere between techno and progressive house. This one is good.

Wave Knowledge

PREMIERE: Lockyear - Bodymind [OTB]

The green grass blew softly in the wind and the woods loomed eerily in the distance. The sun set down by the wall as the last of the summer daylight crashed ominously from above. In the depth of the night this place would become a temple, a prism of chaos and the beginning of the end. A warehouse could be heard closing up for the night in the distance. The clatter of shutters rattled in the air as the lights flickered in the street outside. This was to be the location they had dreamt of. Here in the garden they were safe. 

roadman kicks off the new year with a release on Tact Recordings. He delivers two moody house cuts with rough edged groove and allure.

The Wall EP

PREMIERE: roadman - The Wall [Tact]

Sleep was but a dream for now. She lay upon the sheets wondering when her eyelids might fall hazily shut. It had been weeks since she had last been able to drift off in peace, her mind continued to race and play melodic tricks upon her every blink. The scenario had become repetitive and boring yet still it continued to plague her ever evening. She had always pondered the nature of life as an insomniac but had never imagined she might find herself in such a position. Whilst the world lay still, she was wide awake .

PREMIERE: Felix Leifur - Eyelids [Dirt Crew]

The stakes had been raised so damn high that his legs had begun to shake. As he watched the wheel spin he continued to count the rotations of the spin, praying and wishing that the star might land where his marker was at. The room had gone eerily quiet, or at least it seemed that way to him. He held tightly onto the green felt of the table beneath his fingertips trying not to blink. Soon the marker would drop and his night would end in one of two ways. 

Gary Gritness returns with a second edition of "The Sugar Cane Chronicles" for Hyperdub. He brings with him four heavy hitting funk cuts in his own peculiar fashion.

The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol 2

PREMIERE: Gary Gritness - Countin' Up With Starr [Hypercolour]

The temperature was ferociously hot in the dark basement. Outside the sun was at its highest peak and the concrete was smouldering under the blistering rays. Underground, it was much the same bar the lack of light. This was by choice and not an accident. Nobody liked to dance in the eye of others judgement, hence the shadows were best for such fun. As the room begin to fill it was remarkable to watch the people shed their clothes, layer by layer they became more free. The sweat dripped from above. 

Daniel T steps up with two tracks for the fun loving Cosmic Pint Glass label. He is accompanied by Lauer and Jack Pattern who offer a set of spectacular alternatives to his own arrangements

CPG007

PREMIERE: Daniel T - Celsius (Lauer Remix) [Cosmic Pint Glass]

The glow of the dying sun cast a radiant warmth across the golden sand. In the distance she watched as the outline of a boat moved against the skyline, its sunset shadows hung heavily upon the deep blue sea. The ocean was still this evening, peaceful and calm, it always was following a storm of such stature. Damage was all around. It would take some time before the little village would recover, for now they simply sat by the shore, looking out and waiting.

Dr Banana are a mysterious collective associated with Banoffee Pies, most commonly known for selling clothes, from time to time they emerge to release a sporadic assortment of music. The second edition to be released by the label features an array of well crafted jungle.
