Ranging from cheerful house to banging techno, each of the 8 artists featured in the first ''Time Machine'' compilation had a very personal interpretation of what a ''Fast Lane'' track would sound like.
In ''Tergicristalli'', Aghamar plays with retro arps, chords and synth bass which combine to build up to a nostalgic yet punchy & optimistic atmosphere.

Lisbon veteran and scene agitator Citizen:Kane has been reverently experimenting with the limits of electronic music in the past few years, bringing a much-needed generosity and curiosity to the artistic practice in the community.

Paraíso are lucky enough to have his new album on Rave Tuga. Titled 'The Last Whistle', it concisely and soulfully encapsulates his signature sound-spirit, one where synths can sing and drum machines laugh and cry. Cinematic drones and sci-fi bleeps invite us to an otherworldly realm on the opener, 'Cujo Fujo'.

Dark, energetic arpeggiated basslines continue to haunt us perfectly as we step into the B side, with echoes of EBM and industrial creating the otherwise swingy techno heavy-hitter that is 'The Mad Parade'. Things get headier and trippier as we dive deeper into the album, with ambient and slow jams that manage to marry the celestial and the austere.

A label that has pathed careers for the likes of Nightwave, Hodge, Special Request/Paul Woolford and many more, DEXT Recordings announce 'Blizzard'; a fresh 12" from the enigmatic Russian techno-head, Dawn Razor.
Following releases on A R T S, Scuffed and Holding Hands to name but a few, he is best known for both his live performances and DJ sets of broken beat techno, electro, mutated bass, post-trance and everything in between.
On remix duties enters Desert Sound Colony (Holding Hands/Dr Banana), portraying his own inimitable two-step spin on 'Blizzard'. Utilising the pads to create a unique air that sits around a playful and warm bassline, the choice of remixer truly sits perfectly with the overall palate of the record.

PREMIERE | Dawn Razor - Vacant Crew [Dext Recordings] 2021

Once upon a time, far away in the lands of the furthest west known to mankind, a Goddess sits all alone in their humble dwelling surrounded by the dustiest, mouldiest of old analog music making technology.
You may ask “How do we know such individual be but a Goddess?”
Well, each bleep and bloop heard from their habitat could have only come from the greatest of heavens above. Duh!

The mysterious visionary that be the Westcoast Goddess brings forth 3 sublime house tracks to lift you out of the sludge that we now know as modern life.
Released via https://soundcloud.com/iambillmango 's rather fresh imprint Mango, cast upon a limited number of Holy 12 inch wax discs lays music that oozes droplets of nostalgia from years yonder, when we could actually lick each others armpits without fear of great illness occurring.

If 3 house tunes from an actual Goddess is not enough, don’t sweat. Mango HQ is one step ahead of you, deploying the illusive hero of all hedonists to add something loud and abrasive to the equation.
Roy of the Ravers delivers a hard hitting, adrenaline pumping remix of main stay Seabreeze for all you techno loving freaks.

No doubt this record has something for every respectable disc jockeying veteran to pump to the masses… or perhaps just in their bedrooms.

PREMIERE : Westcoast Goddess - Seabreeze (Roy Of The Ravers Remix)

Italian artist BLAKE is back on his TRITON RECORDS imprint this September with his ‘Chapter II: Black Panther’, including a remix from Orlando Voorn and a track featuring with Juan Atkins’ daughter Milan Ariel Atkins. BLAKE has released his works on labels such as the Chicago cult TRAX Records and Rebirth Records, among the most recent. BLAKE emphasises warm sonics emanating from his tapes, samplers, drum machines, and analogue synthesisers as a producer. In 2019, he launched his label TRITON RECORDS, reflecting his in-depth knowledge of the Detroit techno scene and his mission to reinterpret that original sound while sticking to its spirit and soul.  “This EP was conceived during the pandemic lockdown and it reflects some contradictory feelings of that period; the eagerness to return to clubs and social life together with the urgency of being more isolated and introspective while being fully immersed in the studio sessions. The result is an EP composed of different feelings and forms; a trip to Detroit’s essence with its electro, techno and piano melodies. It invites to stop and listen; it’s a call to arms of the musicians’ army for A REVOLUTIONARY ACT” - BLAKE ‘Consciousness Of The Masses’ gets the EP moving with glistening 808s, electro-tinged rhythms and acid elements spiralling above. Before ‘Black Panther’ lays down low-slung grooves, inviting piano melodies and Detroit-based singer, songwriter, and performer, Milan Ariel Atikins’ irresistible vocals. Up next, ‘Destroy The DJ’ pays homage to the Motor City as spacey modulations balance harmoniously with the dreamy synths and floaty fx that keep you enticed throughout. To round off proceedings, legendary Dutch artist Orlando Voorn’s remix with his signature soulful style as the shimmering drums bounce elegantly with the spirited undulations and uplifting atmospheres.
