So last autumn Gestalt Records had 10 demo tick in and from the onset it was pretty apparent that we were going to put some of them out. They tried picking out 4-5 but to no avail, as the 10 tracks were inseperable. Anyhow they ended up taking on the whole lot on, to be released as a double album split into 2 installments.'Pt. I'  is an effortless blend of breaks, bass and ambient, drawing heavily on artists such as Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Pluxus. This is (in our opinion) a pretty valiant release and a bit 'outside the box', but definitely something that warrants a physical manifestation.

PREMIERE: Bobo - I (Pt. I)

From corner to corner thousands of bodies were packed into the stands, rip roaring whoops and cheers were joined by choruses of chants that echoed through the air. Suddenly the whistle sounded and the mood changed. Jeers and sighs rung out from one end, enveloped by the energetic noise from the other side. As the player made his way to the penalty spot the tension in the stadium became palpable, a deafly silence spreading quickly through the stands as onlookers held their breath. This final kick of the game could change everything. 

Much like music brings people together, so does football, regardless of where you're from. So is the case for a group of DJs and musicians based in Berlin but with roots all over the world who, for six years, have been playing at a small pitch in Kreuzberg 61. Together they've produced 11 tracks (of course), with each one dedicated to the producer's football hero, compiled by coach Tristan Jong AKA Gratts and brought to life by Markus Lindner AKA Delfonic. Titled Una Vida De Barrio, after the graffiti scrawled on the wall of their football cage, the release touches on all corners of the musical pitch, from techno, deep house, disco and broken beats, created by artists like Trujillo, Harry Baldi and Nemorna. Our pick comes from the pairing of The Checkup & Project89; the track title a tip of the hat to The Flying Dutchman AKA eternal number 14 Johann Cruijff.

With Solar Return EP, Bristol-based artist, Jon Chmielewski, who goes by the alias Zobol, continues to refine his space age-y, sci-fi leaning approach to dance music. Across three sprawling tracks, Zobol takes listeners on a voyage through distant, expansive, awe-inspiring soundscapes. 
	Opening track, “Rings of Saturn (Fading),” is a sonic portal into another dimension, one seemingly unbothered by the ordinary rules and logic of space and time. The track illustrates what it might feel like for one’s body, or a substance of some kind, to undergo a form of transmutation. Beginning with a skeletal kick-drum pattern, it quickly evolves with glistening synth arpeggios, atmospheric, reverberating keys, undulating bass, and squelchy acid hits. It’s almost as if the track takes on a life of its own as it continues mutating into a surprisingly graceful, multi-tiered organism with every new break. 
	Dropping on July 31st via Birmingham-based Erbium Records, this track is refreshingly organic and tuneful, while still retaining a mechanized, heady approach. While Zobol’s work here might not be exactly humanist, it certainly has a mercurial, exploratory quality to it that feels very much the work of someone who is tirelessly searching for new, inventive ways of synthesizing machine-made sounds for the dancefloor.

"Written and recorded remotely in the fall of 2020, Adam O and MALT present "CODEC", a five-track EP in the formats of a 3” pocket CD and digital. Drawing from the themes of the virtual systems, isolation, and a distorted perception of time, "CODEC" reminisces experiences of the warehouse reaching through the smoking area with organically driven acid, pulsating techno, and mysterious breaks."
