After the success of Casey's first chapter on For Those That Knoe, he returns with three more liquid techno tracks, unearthed from his 90s archive. Two unreleased pieces are pressed alongside an absolutely rare deep gem from the Fine Balance vaults. 

Following on from BST on Knoe 2/1, Tanita is bright and melancholic; bringing its phased soaring pads and slippery acid funk to grace the A-side of Knoe 2/1. Yet again Casey delivers a unique take on Techno, shattering those preconceptions of the genre's dark and moody melodies with warmth, swing and harmony. 

The flip sees Stratosphere, a stand out track from FINE 002 moves to the outside of the B-side. From the highs of Tanita, Casey drops the EP down into the abyss with a haunting lead, moody pads and a squelchy arpeggiated synth. The track speaks through the pure emotion of the harmonies Casey creates; able to tell a number of stories through his melody, Casey yet again surprises with his aptitude for creating something so simple and classic yet utterly fresh and new.

The B2 plays host to a perhaps more stereotypical 90s style tech house track. Up in the skies with the likes of BST and Tanita, the chord stabs and intrinsic delay patterns of Secret Desires breathe funk over swinging rimshots and sizzling hi hats. The track sets itself apart from most 90s tracks with clever arrangements, an unpredictable but bumping bass line and some fine live work on the synths and groove boxes.

PREMIERE : Your Planet Is Next - Ghosty Is My Dog

The group was a tight knit collective, a merry band of brothers. Togetherness was everything to the gang, nestled within the woods they marched prominently amongst the golden, crispy leaves. The autumn evening was surprisingly warm and the trees cast long shadows outwards over the lakeside. Sparking the fire they grouped together by the water and watched as the stars appeared one by one, speckled across the midnight twilight. It was beautiful. 

Violet has launched a new label in the form of Naive. It follows on from an array of releases on the likes of One Eyed Jacks, Snuff Trax and Cómeme.

The German-based imprint Blaq Numbers, who have played a pivotal role in exposing the world to the sounds of producers such as Jesse Bru, Explorer of the Humankind, and DJ Psychiatre, are gearing up to release music from yet another talented musician. This time, it is London artist Last Nubian, who has only been on soundcloud for about a year now. Having grown up being inspired by the likes of Flying Lotus, Mndsgn, Theo Parrish, Last Nubian is making a name for himself by crafting rhythms and beats that often feel nostalgically familiar but manage to take the best from the worlds of hip-hop and house. A crate digger through and through, Last Nubian showcases his diverse musical background on his forthcoming EP Reunion by delivering catchy dance floor melodies that will appease the crowd while satisfying the palettes of heads alike.

In total, this record will feature 7 brand-new originals from Last Nubian as well as 2 remixes. The edit that we are premiering for you today comes from our favorite brotherly duo 2XM and is of the record's lead track "Reunion." Compared to the original, this remix sets out to make it easier for club room consumption; upping the tempo ever so slightly and adding in an assortment of synth and percussive elements that give the tune a little bit more punch while staying true to its spacey, afro-futurist vibe.

To get your hands on this EP, as well as a remix from Paso, make sure to pre-order your copy! Reunion is set to come out on January 8th of next year!
