Introducing the first Steel City Compact Disc!

For the inaugural SC-CD001, the Steel City Dance Laboratory has identified 4 infectious Techno microbes from the coast with the most, @x-coast

Unfettered by the laws of the past, the Brooklyn-based Serbian rave export harnesses classic House and Techno traits, building upon the sound genetics of the genres with new science. The result is Riviera Techno – a vigorous tropical bounce mutation.

⚠ Dispose of this release safely, with the volume up.

He watched  suspiciously from his window; this new area of town was unfamiliar to him, and far too quiet. He'd become accustomed to this secretive and nomadic life now; moving from place to place, changing his name, face and where he'd been before. Nobody asked questions, but he still felt that pang in his stomach when he touched down in a new place. After all there was unfinished business at hand...

Scan 7 have been a pioneering force in Detroit techno since the early 90s, working with renowned imprints like Underground Resistance, Tresor and DETROIT UNDERGROUND. Having also taken their raw musings to Dam Swindle's Heist imprint last year, Scan 7 strengthen that relationship further with one half of the Amsterdam outfit Maarten Smeets AKA Wanderist, with a new four-tracker for his Transient Nature label. 'Out Of Nowhere' is a timeless slice of electro, flaunting machine funk rhythms, murky grooves, acid stabs and frantic 303s.

Artist: Fio Fa
Title: U Drink, U Pay EP 
Label: Pear
Cat No: PEAR009
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. U Drink, U Pay
B1. Turizmo
B2. Gateway To A 50 Bag

Fio Fa returns to his Pear imprint for U Drink, U Pay; his euphoric new EP of Prog-’e’ thumpers and Garage-y shufflers, all in his inimitable style.

U Drink, U Pay is Fio’s most ambitious track yet; patiently layering the prog with a steady finesse until its unbridled giddiness can’t contain itself. Inevitable climactic bliss ensues, before bringing us right back to do it to us all over again. The euphoria is firmly on tap, and it’s simply irresistible.

On the flip, Turizmo speeds ahead in a surprising 2-Step turn. Bright organ chords, a chunky bassline and hefty doses of swing amount to a sunny UKG belter in pure Fa style. Gateway To A 50 Bag then sees us out, a subversive rave-y skanker fit with killer melodies and sweeping synths before a delightful switch-up recalibrates its course in brilliant manner. A thrilling end to another knockout release from the boss-man.

Cat. Number: SN012
LP Title: Out Of A Change (Part 1)
Release Date: August 6th, 2021
Support it: https://fanlink.to/SN012PI

Having established himself as one of house and minimal’s most consistent and exciting names, Salty Nuts founder Fabe continues to showcase his talents as a multifaceted artist at the forefront of the scene. A regular across FUSE and INFUSE, with stand-out appearances on Cocoon, Up The Stuss, and Eastenderz to name a few, the Mannheim DJ, producer, and label boss continues to develop his unique and inimitable sound while showcasing his innate talent within both the studio and the booth. Having dropped his 2020 LP ‘Four Point Island’ on FUSE, late-Summer welcomes a long-awaited return to his own label Salty Nuts as he reveals his latest LP ‘Out Of A Change’ – a thirteen track project created across the past twelve months showcasing all nuances of his rich and diverse sound, set to drop in three parts on the bubbling imprint. The trio of releases will also be accompanied by three limited t-shirt drops, with each shirt offering an exclusive track via QR code in addition to the album’s thirteen core tracks.

Part 1 welcomes a bundle of bright, skipping productions perfect for late summer evenings and sun-soaked early hours as the Mannheim favourite quickly sets his stall. Welcoming the bubbling stabs and rolling bass of opener ‘161’, the four-track offering showcases a medley of infectious grooves throughout ‘No End In Sight’, hazy, winding melodies with ‘All You’, and classy house-tinged sonics via ‘Right Now & Always’.
