Long running Manchester and Berlin based party 'Lost Control, ’' who hold a NTS residency under the same name run by Black Eyes, bring us the new label Lost Control 2097. 
 
Kicking things off with the ‘Come on Let’s Get It’ EP from Cygnus. Label Boss Matthew Jesus says - “The label itself is our new extension of the portal from the 7th dimension. Specialising in plasma house, sub-aquatic electro and cyber techno all brought back from the year 2097. The first EP is from Texan electro legend Cygnus. We don't need to explain how good he is. We just hope you enjoy the ride of cyber soul at its deadliest. There's even a tribute track to the city of Manchester where Lost Control was born. The vinyl colour is inspired by the acid blood of the xenomorphs from the Alien movies, meaning it's translucent fluorescent yellow.” 
 
 "They mostly come at night...mostly!" 
 
The record is mastered by Dutch synth genius Rude 66 and will be released on both Physical and Digital formats.

PREMIERE : Cygnus - Robotech

Andy Bell (RIDE) under his GLOK alter ego has delivered a stunning rework of the gorgeous title track taken from the second album by ambient-techno group Herrmann Kristoffersen. Andy has tapped deep into the dub at the heart of the original, with echoes of John Carpenter's soundtracks and his own extended electronic excursions under the GLOK moniker.

MÉTIER (@MetierUKRec)pull in Colorado-based musician @Stefan-Weise for their sophomore release, 'The Times': three tracks of gliding techno with a light touch, and a firm groove.

METIER002 - The Times

Stefan Weise - Initialize Dawn [MÉTIER]

He watched with careful attention, gazing out across the room and taking in those who wandered and meandered between each hallway. His third eye saw them all, it saw everything whether he chose for it or not. He could tell a thousand stories of precious, private moments thought not to be seen. He saw the secrets, the crimes, the actions, the glances and the stories behind the scenes. It was his gift yet at times it drove him crazy as he watched the world spin recklessly in full circle. 

Joey Anderson features on a new compilation from Release Sustain who have drafted in the big guns as part of their Conclave series. The record also features music from the likes of Lord of the Isles, Amir Alexander and more. This track features the notorious, moody, melancholy edge of a producer who never fails to disappoint, Joey Anderson.

Dam Swindle's Maarten Smeets, aka Wanderist, launches his Transient Nature imprint this April with four-track EP 'Think Potential' from Dukwa.
Transient Nature is a label dedicated to the world of machine funk with a sonic aesthetic of off-kilter techno and electro, and the first release sees Dukwa deliver an EP as varied as it is powerful. Transient Nature has a busy 2021 planned with releases from Detroit's Scan7, Black Cadmium and Maarten's solo project: Wanderist. The 'Think Potential' EP is deeply rooted in gritty electronics and illustrates the producer's love for hardware and vintage techniques - three of the tracks are hardware jams recorded straight to tape.

The driving Rhodes licks and fluttering percussion on 'Who Cares' gets the EP rolling before the distorted electronica and stabbing 303s fuse harmoniously on 'High Position'. Up next, 'It's U' delivers an old-school tinged electro number with its slamming drums, robotic vocals and squeaking acid lines. The EP closer, 'Eye2eye' sees Dukwa moving deeper into the electronica territory with industrial drums and dreamy piano lines working together with mesmerising effect.

With recent output ranging from Detroit house inspired MPC-driven tracks to more conceptual electronic work, Dukwa's soulful yet dynamic releases for the likes of Numbers, Don't Be Afraid and his eponymous imprint have won a wide range of support as well as picking up a coveted 'Hottest Record in The World' from the BBC's Annie Mac.

For Bajram Bili, every new record is the kick off for reinventing himself in a series of explorations and experimentations. 

After venturing through techno, Adrien Gachet opens a new page bursting with artistic possibilities and sonic freedom. His new research is founded on two cornerstones : his reassuming of the piano, the historic medium he’s left aside those past years, and the deconstruction of contemporary electronic music. The result is a flush yet tight affair condensing the broad spectrum of its ambitions in just six tracks.

 

A true mine for textures and melodies, Detuning Euphoria feels like a blinding mirage. The music conjugates cinematic composition and borrowings of the 2020’s club music, where laser synths and skeletal beats melt one another in bare and frontal feelings. It’s a total work, an exhilarating and untamed piece opening a new chapter in a maniac and turbulent discography.

The Winter Restrictions Vol. 1 sets a sign to celebrate club music. This compilation brings seven Swiss musicians from all over Switzerland together: Kombé, CCO, A-Alpha, NVST, Slow Glass, Rafael Kasma and L.D.R.. With its variety but consistency at the same time, this compilation could probably be seen as the blueprint of club music in Switzerland in the years 2020 / 2021.

After self-releasing two EPS, 'Violet' and 'Submerged', Bristol stalwart Om Unit returns with a full length album 'Acid Dub Studies' which builds on his personal, creative journey motivated by curiosity and a frustration with the rigidity of the musical world he was previously existing within. Through the use of 303 acid basslines, dub reggae influences and elements from the hazier end of dub techno and ambient, Om Unit crafts a release that seeks to part ways with categorisation and expectation, working within an honest and organic framework.

Self-styled ‘house husband, record producer’, DMX Krew, continues his effortless stretch of releases that date back to the early 90s, with a new album for Hypercolour.  

His deft melodies and mechanical, electro-tinged beats have made for some classic albums in his repertoire, from his incredible run of albums for Rephlex Records, up to 2020’s ’Ghost Bubbles’ long player for Terrestrial Funk.  And so ‘Loose Gears’ marks DMX Krew’s fourth album for British stalwarts, Hypercolour, and fans will not be disappointed.

Armed with an arsenal of hardware, and a head full of futuristic visions, ‘Loose Gears’ collects eleven tracks of the customary quality we have come to expect from DMX Krew.

From the funk laden ‘Solar Transit’ to bleepy chugger ‘Dejected Ambient Twerp’, the vibrant synths and spongy rhythms of ‘Torpedo Tube’ to the beatless wiggle of ‘Xpansion 2’, there’s much in store to be savoured on ‘Loose Gears’, as DMX Krew serves up another fine selection of electronic goodies.
