As the sky began to turn an orange hue, she pulled out of her drive and into the empty street. Reaching the motorway she pushed her foot down hard on the accelerator, feeling the cool evening breeze drifting through the open windows. She loved driving at night. The roads were quiet, peaceful and gave her room to process her thoughts and feelings. It had become a nightly ritual and her purest form of escapism...

French duo, music platform and label Les Yeux Orange embark on the first instalment of their new Driving Blind compilation series. Following solo releases from the likes of M.S.L., Earth Trax & Newborn Jr. and Mytron & Ofofo, LYO cast their net far and wide for a lovingly curated compilation of boundary-pushing electronics from artists across the globe, including contributions from Cardopusher, Errortica, Timothy J. Fairplay, The Populists and Tecwaa.

PREMIERE: Tecwaa - Nîpan [Les Yeux Orange]

"To his debut on Massa Records, the producer and multi-instrumentalist, Tha_guts, introduces the single Elephant, which brings three versions: Original, Vocal Mix and the remix signed by Tessuto, from Carlos Capslock. Revealing disruptive versatility, the producer seeks to tense his aesthetic approach, bringing a cut directed to climax moments. In a progressive evolution for the construction of the tracks, the work opened up the artist's new possible worlds, from the base of its more sober rhythmic composition to the meeting of fractured and futuristic drums. Tha_guts modern and dense, sometimes linear or equally cerebral, delivers a work in total synergy with the label that embraces it."

PREMIERE #1188 | Namesis - Acid Mud [MOIL] 2020

We're back again with another gathering of old companions and new faces, representing our bandwidth from intergalactic funk, mellow hip hop, bone dry warehouse stompers & all kinds of spaced out jams.

PREMIERE : Native Cruise - Distant Planes

The full moon lit up the road, casting a brighter glow than the dim street lamps that bordered each side. It was her nightly ritual, watching the comings and goings from her window, hoping to catch wind of a neighbourhood drama or some strange activity only carried out during the nocturnal hours. But nothing stirred, not even the rumble of a car ignition or a stray cat sniffing out its next meal. Everything was quiet, peaceful. Too peaceful... 

Next up on Massimiliano Pagliara's Funnovojere Records, lovingly named after a small beach in southern Puglia, is an instalment from London-based producer Harsh Puri under his Reformed Society alias. Joining the likes of Rotciv, Armonics and James Booth on the label, Reformed Society brings a collection of raw, harmonic synth cuts that blur the boundaries between techno and house. With the first drafts getting the seal of approval from the Guv'nor himself, the late Andrew Weatherall, you can be assured Cosmic Perspective's celestial synth melodies will have you beguiled from lift off to touch down.

PREMIERE: Reformed Society - Sci-Fi Love Story [Funnovojere]

From the magical mountains of Sydney Barney In The Tunnel (Barney Kato and Tunnel Signs) spew forth an EP of day to dark dancefloor moods over 4 luxurious tracks drawing from the friendship of the party, the synthesizer, the shroom, the drum machine and the science of fiction.

Pre-order

PRÉMIÈRE: Barney In The Tunnel - Grumpy [Cashminus Music]

The doors were closed, the locks tightly bolted. He checked his watch, "8:55", he knew he'd made it here in good time, why had he been left out? He could smell foul play. There were several people vying for this opportunity, and he wouldn't put it past a couple of them to sabotage others to make sure it was theirs. But two could play that game he thought to himself, as he happened upon an open window round the corner...

Motek welcome close friend and Inside Out Records regular Stevie R back to the label following his ATOMS release in 2018. This time he teams up with frequent collaborator Parisinos for a collection of breakbeat and electro cuts laced with their signature Anatolian touch. Backed up by remixes from electro pioneer Carl Finlow and Motek’s own DelFin, the original track matches live instrumentation and electronic production, luring you in with its mysterious vocal chants, crunchy guitar and crisp percussion, wrapped up in a reverb.

PREMIERE: Stevie R & Parisinos - Posh Sabo [Motek]

A draught swept through the church, up their trouser legs and under their skin, forcing a shiver as though someone had walked over their grave. Thus far the rehearsal had gone to plan: nobody had been late, everybody remembered their lines, they all knew their places. But she could't help worrying that this was the time to get the mistakes out of the way — tomorrow had to be perfect.

Providing a sonic escape from the restraints and confinement of Covid lockdown, London-based duo In Fields return to Swedish mainstay Höga Nord, this time for their first solo effort. Like their first label outing alongside regulars Golden Bug last year, this LP brings dynamic electronics but turns its focus to more atmospheric, ambient tones. A rapidly evolving and surprising release, the 8 tracks juxtapose contrasting tones and sounds, matching airy synths with dark, deep tones.

PREMIERE: In Fields - Rehearsal One [Höga Nord]
