Andy Toth casts a long shadow in the Detroit scene. From being co-founder of the Detroit Grand Pubahs to working as an engineer and mixer, he’s worked on so many records that you know but in his egoless way, didn’t know he was part of. Being the co-author of “Sandwiches” took him around the world, but more importantly it was the hold music for Mudgie’s, a legendary Detroit Deli run by another long standing denizen of the Detroit underground, Greg Mudge. Greg Mudge was a true pillar of our techno community in Detroit, from showing us the venue for the first leaky roof No Way Back, to throwing his own events and supporting great people. One of those people was Andy Toth, who he was constantly pressuring to release his music, and this became a major theme of Greg Mudge’s memorial.  When Greg suddenly passed last September, some friends came in to DJ his memorial like Derek Plaslaiko. When it was Andy Toth’s turn he played only his own productions and we were all just so blown away. Mudgie was always asking Andy “what’s up with those tracks?” And this record is the answer,  a testament to that thought, and to the deeply layered and detailed work of Andy Toth. Andy has created a uniquely dense Detroit Sci Fi trip through sound, with elements of acid, electro, techno that result in an advanced and mature adventure in sound, reflecting his roots in the Detroit scene, but pushing it into new hypnotic futures, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Seasoned heads may already be aware of dynArec. The project of one Chris Kalera, dynArec has been a force in the electro underground for more than two decades at this point, releasing numerous records and helming the Vaporwave label to boot. He has marked himself out as a purveyor of top-quality machine-funk during his career, a producer who runs with the spirit of Detroit to craft club traxx of wicked intensity.

After a period of relative quiet in the late 2010s, Kalera has roared back into action recently, with a run of releases emerging in 2021 and 2022 across labels including Cultivated Electronics, Superluminal and Umwelt’s New Flesh. Now the Vaporwave Records founder takes his Central Processing Unit bow with the Force In The Sum EP, and his hard-hitting electro style is immediately at home on the Sheffield imprint.

Force In The Sum commences with ‘A Dispatching Role’, a track where eerie vocal snippets and delay-drenched anti-melodies cluster around a volatile low-end wobble and crisp 808 snap. It’s equal-parts ominous and invigorating, kind of like the Thom Yorke of ‘Kid A’ times if he’d been granted an audience with Gerald Donald. ‘A Dispatching Role’ is prime slalom music, and the mood carries through to following cut ‘Stabilized’. After a stentorian opening of unerring kick drums and fizzing keys, ‘Stabilized’ soon blooms into a retro-futurist robo-electro joint which comes off like a more textured iteration of Unit Moebius.

Things open up a little more on first B-side ‘Canonical Form’ - at least, they do before the track’s pretty opening flushes are interrupted by a vicious blurting bassline reminiscent of, say, Jensen Interceptor. There are no broken beats here, the track’s unyielding four-on-the-floor thud pushing the joint a little more towards techno mode than the A-side jams. This straight beat remains on Force In The Sum closer ‘Classification Of Elements’, with sputtering hi-hats playing off the groovy pings of the synths to devilishly danceable effect. Slip-sliding saw sounds and spine-tingling, almost ‘X-Files’-esque lead lines enter to up the ante, but the mood shifts after dynArec starts to lace lush chordal stabs and delay-drenched modular runs through the track. All the while, a voice repeats the mantra “what matters is the sound” - and who could deny the truth in this statement?

dynArec’s prolific recent run continues with the four track Central Processing Unit debut Force In The Sum. Tense, expansive and worldbuilding, this is wickedly danceable electro done right. Truly, what matters is the sound.

Plant43 - Remote Signals [Plant43 Recordings // PLANT43 009]

Plant43 announces new EP, Remote Signals

Anyone who has had even half an eye on the electro scene over the past decade will already
be familiar with Emile Facey aka Plant43’s unique sound, mixing an uncompromising approach
to off-kilter rhythms and machine-led funk with an emotive and powerful use of melody. Remote
Signals features a trio of ultra fresh tracks, penned for recent live shows in The Hague (The Crave
Festival) and a coveted slot on the Globus stage at Tresor in Berlin, and are brimming with the
energy and excitement he felt on his return to the live circuit after the pandemic.

This EP, the ninth release on Facey’s Plant43 Recordings label, is led by a booming kick drum
heavy enough to move any audience, with Facey weaving ever more complex webs of melody
around it. ‘Searching The Skies’ builds a mysterious atmosphere based around a call and
response between characterful melodic elements while ‘Constantly Morphing Entity’ closes the
EP with a flourish of driving beats and an SH101 bassline designed to move the dancefloor.

“After more than two years away from playing live, hearing from The Crave Festival and Tresor
in early summer ’22 was like a light appearing at the end of the tunnel. I jumped at the chance
and began rapidly writing new material. There’s often a long gap between writing and releasing
new music and so I put Remote Signals right to the top of the Plant43 Recordings release
schedule to capture the spontaneity and excitement of the unforgettable experience of
performing my music to an audience again.” – Plant43

Paula took a trip. And as she was walking on clouds,
beautiful clouds, hovering through kaleidoscopic
forests and gliding through multicolored reefs, she
couldn’t help but cry. In glee, in absolute
enchantment. And when she had to leave, all that was
left were Shades of Acid. And dry tears, tears of joy.

"Silver Streams is the third fully ambient full-length from Emile Facey under the Plant43 moniker. Better known for his electro output, the UK producer has been writing and storing up atmospheric synthesiser experiments alongside his dancefloor oriented output since his last ambient LP ‘The Countless Stones’ released on Bandcamp in 2020. This meditative, evocative eight track journey is typical of Facey’s beautifully rendered emotional output and is a perfect match for the stunningly atmospheric artwork, also by Facey, which accompanies the album."

Release Info :

Versalife - Chronoception [20/20 Vision // VIS334]

Boris Bunnik is a prolific producer based in The Netherlands who has consistently created incredible electronic music across multiple styles as Versalife, Conforce, Severnaya and Vernon Felicity building a wide fan base and widely regarded as a master of the trade with records produced for highly respected labels including Rush Hour, Delsin, Frustrated Funk, Clone and Further Electronic. Following the magnificence of his debut album ‘Manifold’ on 20/20 Vision he now returns with his second full length album ‘Chronoception’.

Bunnik always manages to elicit emotions from the machines with an extraordinary amount of feeling poured into the circuits until each song tells a story from the melancholy of Equilibrium to the future worlds of Clairvoyance.

Boris Bunnik has stood silently in the shadows for many years making a myriad of beats that have rocked the most discerning global dance-floors, Chronoception heralds his remarkable talent and cements his place as a master craftsman.
