PREMIERE - Tunnel Signs Ft Moderna - Ultraviolet (Facets Mix) (Samo Records)

When you are on top of a building in Manhattan and a diety appears before your eyes and you are wearing a backpack with enough nuclear charge to blow up the whole city and said diety asks if you are a god...  just say no, tell them you are ½ GOTT. 
https://soundcloud.com/scannoir and https://soundcloud.com/sneakerdj have come together to cement their love of Synth Pop with a wonderful new track which evokes the title of the track 'Die Nacht' and suits us down to the ground at 44100 because we all love the night.
Uncanny Valley have been prolific this year and once again are on hand to deliver yet another killer which is more industrial than a cybernetic organism travelling back in time to invade your dancefloor and give you a hammer to dance to. This is music.

PREMIERE | ½ GOTT - Die Nacht [Uncanny Valley] 2018

There was a beautiful flower nestled at the top end of the garden, it cast a mysterious shadow in the heat of the sun. It was a pleasant summer's day and and they each sipped from a glass of cool lemonade whilst taking in the mystical beauty of the orchid. The ice trickled down the sides of each cold glass and left a damp residue on the warm wooden table as music played in the distance. This was summer and it was to be the hottest on record. Time for a flake...

From the cold land of Saint Petersburg, Calypso welcomes newcomers Radial Gaze to the label for the first time. The sun kissed label has a penchant for tropical inspired dance music, often with an intriguing twist and something special up the sleeve.

PREMIERE: Radial Gaze - Orchid Flake [Calypso Records]

PRÈMIÉRE: Jacuzzi General - IKEA  [Paradise Palms]

Höga Nord Rekords proudly presents Frak! Frak was formed in the southern coastal town of Karlskrona by Jan ”Zwarre” Svensson, Björn Isgren and Johan Sturesson in 1987.  Zwarre is also founder of the legendary experimental electro label “Börft Records” which through the years has gained both national and international recognintion.
From the beginning, Frak stood for an alternative to the hair metal hegemony of their hometown Karlskrona where they, in the early days got chased from venues by the locals. “The rednecks hated us” Isgren told Resident Advisor in an interview made some years ago. However, unlike Poison, Fraks sound is still appealing and “Ternary Fission EP”, as well as all their earlier releases has all the elements necessary for a sophisticated electronic act: dark and suggestive electro and techno!
If you need musical compositions for the stranded atomic submarine U-137, test flights of the Swedish fighter jet JAS 39-Gripen, the Soviet space programme, the first manned mission to Mars or the transition to the bunker society, Frak is a strong and valid option!

Ulises Arrieta - Androide (Velax Remix)

Sonido Moderna es un colectivo y plataforma de eventos fundada en el 2016 que busca exponer, promover y diseminar a lo que ellos llaman “electrónica de diseñador” en la limitada escena Guatemalteca. Siempre nadando contra-corriente, debido a su orientación sonora; han logrado presentarle a su público muchos exponentes e influencias de la estética que buscan. En conmemoración a este intercambio cultural y su 4to aniversario; el 02 de Noviembre del 2020 finalmente se lanzan a sacar su primer compilado de producciones originales. El compilado busca reforzar los cimientos alternativos del sonido y exponer talentos locales propios del colectivo junto a amigos y colaboradores internacionales de orígenes tan variados como Turquía, Austria, Ucrania, México y Colombia.

El track L Lounge, en palabras del propio Alf Champion: 

"L Lounge es un homenaje a un lugar en el que pase muchas horas de mi infancia… era un cuarto amplio localizado en el patio trasero de la legendaria casa de los abuelos de Mario Russell (uno de mis mejores amigos de siempre) donde pasamos horas jammeando, experimentando, creando y demás. Se vivieron varias fiestas memorables allí, era un lugar apartado de los adultos y con una vibra bastante chill; El lugar fue bautizado como “El Lounge” por Russell y como en todas las historias El Lounge eventualmente llego a su fin. Así que el único recuerdo que nos queda de ese gran lugar esta en esta canción con bajos alocados, ritmos descontrolados y voces con rastros de estupefacientes."
