Saying somethings progressive is like telling someone they need to wait until the end.. any way, here's some progressive tracks I made in 2008 when my patience and tracks were longer...

Dolly welcomes D_Roots! The Italian producer drops 4 beautifully produced, lush, atmospheric, funky baseline oriented Detroit electro tracks. This is what we like to hear on the dance floor early in the morning when shit gets serious!

Dolly33 D_Roots - Stream Of Data EP

Dutch vinyl-only label Filament light up our lives again with another V/A concept EP that guides us gently
through an entire night. And while the inaugural release took us through the hazy daze of an open air festival,
002 takes us back to the source... The dark sweaty basement where your best friends are your dancefloor
neighbours, your dancing feet and fat speaker stack.
Three artists, one unified spirit that builds dynamically through the night: Russian bandleader Kito Jempere
ignites the night with ‘11pm’. Teaming up with LovvLovver, the bass player from his band, together they lay
down eight minutes of midtempo, hip-slinking hypnotic funk. Loose drums, full fat groove, it’s every bit the
consummate night-warmer it needs to be.
Onward we slink and writhe into the sweetest hours of the night; ‘3am’ duties are taken care of by exciting new
Aussie duo Donald’s House. Blazing off the back of their recent releases on Nick Hoppner’s Touch From A
Distance, their contribution marks the peak of this nocturnal trip. Big slap bass, epic cosmic leads and an
undulating bassline so fat it would make Moroder blush; this one works whatever hour you play it.
Finally we troop beyond the sunrise all the way to ‘6am’. Courtesy of Brazilian groovesmith Carrot Green, here
we find ourselves floating all the way home on a bed handcrafted by Mr Fingers himself. Timeless, soft-focus,
hopeful; the perfect soundtrack doesn’t just end the night... It leaves you wanting more.
Time to light up the dance...

Running Order:
Kito Jempere & LovvLovver - 11 P.M.
Donald's House - 3 A.M.
Carrot Green - 6 A.M.

Bside Incoming: Rudolf C

We’re very pleased to continue the global journey that the Bside Incoming series is taking us on, as we are welcomed into the record bag of the Berlin based Aussie - Rudolf C. 

There is no doubt that Australia has seen the rise of some of the most exciting electronic producers this decade. Rudolf C's passion for extraterrestrial electro has pushed boundaries in the genre, from producing soothing experimental floaty breaks, to pounding club ready electro. 

Here is one of our favourites;
'Wanderer' - On the B1 of his EP 'Honey Mushrooms 2'.

In 2015 Rudolf C and Shedbug created Salt Mines Record to drive the sound they aimed to push forward. Each release since has been filled with a difficult to master balance of both heavy hitting club tracks while maintaining emotion with creative pads and synths. Salt Mines has pressed records with some of the biggest producers in the electro/extraterrestrial scene; Jenson Interceptor, Roza Terenzi, Reptant, Shedbug, Escape Artist and more all contributing. 

Rudolf C, has himself released tracks on labels like X-Kalay as well as his own Salt Mines baby. The rest of the time you can find him touring across Europe and tearing up many a dance floor with his partner in crime Shedbug. Always endeavouring to put their talented colleagues in the spotlight and share their scene’s music with clubs across the continent, that’s what we love to see.

Darcey Electronics - Morgen (STW Premiere)

The two Amsterdam based producers have produced a four track EP under the guise of Darcey Electronics which is out today on the newly launched label Pleasant Life.

The release features four tracks of off centre electronics, kitsch downtempo and electro which comes off the back of independent releases from both artists for the likes of Safe Trip, Off Minor Dial, Intergraded and Voyage Direct.

As close friends the duo have been working hard in their studio in the Dutch capital but this is the first time that they have ever released music together. 

The record is available on both vinyl and digital with only a small handful of stores stocking copies such as Phonica, Public Possession and Rubadub.

PREMIERE: Darcey Electronics - Handbird [Pleasant Life]

Four Heads were joined by Bristol based DJ & producer Remotif for two hours of electronic, Dance & techno. Including bits from Tom VR, 2 Unlimited &  A.D.D.

FOUR HEADS w/  Remotif - August 2020

On the 12th of April 1961, Yuri Gagarin was launched into orbit for the first and - so they tell us - the last time. Upon returning to Earth, Yuri became a global hero, travelling the world to tell of his adventure. Secretly, he was plagued by strange hallucinations and a persistent glow around his vision; a cornucopia of colour in a constant corona. At first fearing madness, the cosmonaut came to see these apparitions as a signal, an invitation, a welcoming beacon from a distant lighthouse blinking across the cosmic void. 

Taking inspiration from early Detroit techno culture, under the moniker Tony Neptune Leeds-based producer and artist Sam Jefferies is on a mission to tell a multi-sensory story through image, sound and text. A talented DJ and part of the Dimensions DJ Directory family, Sam has become synonymous with deep diving marathon sets both as Tony Neptune and as Yuri, solo or alongside fellow Leeds stalwart Mark 'Turbo' Turner.

After working hard on his production efforts over the last few years, his debut EP Reflections on a Daring Escape is finally seeing the light of day on Twelve Comets. Both sonically and aesthetically (Sam's visual work as a painter is at the core of the release), the 4-track release journeys deep into the cosmos, touching on the more celestial, emotive elements of electro and techno.

PREMIERE: Tony Neptune: And Then There Were Stars [Twelve Comets]

Wandering through the city streets late at night he looked up at the towering buildings as the cars whizzed furiously by. He was walking towards Bang Sue Junction, a place he often visited alone to watch the world fly by. The people in their cars, those in illuminated offices miles up above, the moon as it hung heavily against a backdrop of black. There was a thick mist in the air, perhaps it was fog from the sea rolling in, that or the desolate smog of another city screwed by the smokey vehicles and reckless abandon of us. 

More Rice is a record label focussed on showcasing Asian musicians and artists, it is a label whom we have profiled previously. During lockdown they have compiled a release featuring over a dozen musicians, an eclectic, electronic affair well worth your time. This track is by Sarayu.

The synth work on 'The Free Life' is @nico-lahs at his best with a day break melody blotting out any lingering darkness from the morning sky.

Blow Your Mind

Nico Lahs - The Free Life [Metamorphic Recordings]

Son Of Sound loads the chamber and pulls the trigger on appropriation in underground music and the submissive behavior that strengthens corporate, media and government control. This one is dark, unapologetic and is talking to you! ‘Smoke’ is a 120bpm grinding ode to the underground’s gate keepers. The lyrics chide - “Now, now you wanna clean up your act but you don’t hear music that’s black. You just hear music, Is that a fact?” ‘Critical Thinking’ features the lyrical acrobatics by underground DJ and producer veteran Elbee Bad (The Prince Of Dance). Elbee’s lyrics sit on top of a soulful yet dark and twisted groove made for the early mornings of the NY underground’s past. Elbee’s hook is infectious and anchors down verses that are tailored made for those confused and abandoned masses that were fed-up long before the pandemic. Yes the tracks feature his signature twisted sound of samples, synths, jazz, funk, hip-hop and house, but this one is deﬁnitely about the message. Listen to the words.

PREMIERE : Son Of Sound - Critical Thinking (feat. Elbee Bad)
