B2 - Latency

Electronic music pioneer Mijk van Dijk revisits a cult underground moment with the release of Pneu, produced under his Toneking alias. Reflecting on the track’s journey, van Dijk explains:
“I was completely surprised when I learned that a minimalist underground track I'd made under a pseudonym, just to try something completely different from the ‘Mijk van Dijk sound,’ had suddenly become so popular, especially in the Benelux countries, that a Belgian label licensed it in 2000 and commissioned remixes. I've always loved the Housetrap remix in particular, which is why it's featured here as the lead track.”

This new edition of Pneu brings together the original version alongside a carefully curated selection of remixes that capture the raw, forward-thinking energy of early 2000s European techno and house. The release includes reworks from Housetrap, Insider, Marco Bailey vs. Redhead and Zzino vs. Accelerator, each offering a distinct perspective while preserving the track’s minimalist core.

Mijk van Dijk - Pneu (Housetrap Remix)

Illusions of Power is about political corruption, the collapse and seizure of control, sparring nations, war, drugs, gangs and the fraudulent, media systems that spin it all into rolling, fear-mongering 24 hour loops. Illusions of Power is about the horrors of the modern world and a humanity haunted by its bloodied past. But as every long dark tunnel comes to an end, Illusions of Power too has its glimmers of hope.

Written with an arsenal of hardware gear from the Londoner’s studio in Berlin, Dax J’s Electric Deluxe debut is a militant, yet atmospherical dancefloor assault. As he has proven over a slew of EPs for EarToGround Records and labels like LDNWHT, Deeply Rooted, Clergy and his own Monnom Black label, his sound is a compelling and thoroughly contemporary one. Dax J’s productions are typically mercurial, informed by the past and fortified with a wide range of influences from acid and ambient, to jungle and drum & bass. His EPs are rich, kaleidoscopic ventures involving an array of tempos and moods, and Illusions of Power is no different.

In “Reign Of Terror” and “Harry The Hatchet” on the A-side, and “Zulu Nation” and “The Quest” on the flip, Dax J flexes sinewy techno muscle in his rave-inciting idiom where the new and the oldschool collide. Then in the angst-ridden “Cartagena Square” (built around field recordings from Cartagena in South America) and dreamy breakbeats of “Breaking Visions” Illusions of Power present two very different diversions from the dance. In one there is light and a sense of relief; in the other, shadowy omens of the world are massing. The future is full of promise, but be on your guard.

The tenth instalment of Clergy sees host to the second collaborative project between lifelong friends Jorden Hodgetts and Sam Coates (Cleric and Setaoc Mass) split over two discs. The first disc presents three driving rhythmic orientated tools, 'Odyssey', 'Isolation' and 'Centre of the Cyclone', which are sculpted flawlessly for the dance-floor. You can see a continuous theme surrounding the release, the exploration of escapism is perfectly introduced by a foreboding message courtesy of John C. Lily: "Be in the present..."

The second disc progresses as a means to go on, with the sonic emphasis moving more towards tone and melody. The sweeping pads of 'Madame Butterfly' and the sinister strings of 'subconscious life' give the songs a feeling of satisfying unease, while the electro-twinged melody of '188' evokes emotion from start to finish. Last on the EP is 'Exploration X', an ambient voyage which beautifully rounds off the record. CRG010 will also end the second series of releases on Clergy, starting a new look and bringing in a new photographer for the next series.

@setaoc_mass - Surface For Air EP
(Soma536)

1. Forgotten Words
2. To not Exist
3. Pace
4. Until

Soma welcome Manchester born - Berlin based Setaoc Mass for his label debut with the Surface For Air EP. A longtime favourite of the Soma camp, Sam’s high energy Techno and creative style has been sought after for some time. With some huge releases on his own SK11 imprint, Sam delivers four devastating, club ready weapons.

Sam’s driving style is prevalent on all 4 tracks yet he still injects a dose of emotion in each as twisted sequences and ambient, ethereal soundscapes are peppered throughout giving each one a unique, distinctive sound.
