San Francisco DJ/producer Matrixxman has almost sprung out of nowhere recently. Although he's been on our radar for a year or so now, his output of late has been getting better, bigger and a lot more frequent.

Having released via Unknown To The Unknown, Classicworks and Fifth Wall Records, Matrixxman now makes his debut on Spectral Sound, the off-shoot of Matthew Dear's Ghostly International.

The four-track 'Amulet' EP features the trademark sounds that have helped to establish the US producer as a name to watch.

We have the premiere of 'The Caravan' and the track hits hard from start-to-finish. It's a dark, techno-focused roller that screams out to be played at 4am in a dingy room. Check it.

Burning Man 2013 Disco Knights

International he-man Seth Troxler has had a real flurry of label launches this year. With Tuskagee Music – a vinyl-only collaboration with the Martinez Brothers – well under way, and forthcoming releases on his new disco and indie-focussed imprint Soft Touch in the pipeline, it’s music to our ears that we’re getting even more material on Play It, Say It, Seth’s floor-centric outpost that launched back in April.

Play It, Say It’s second offering comes in the form of a tripping techno roller from Montreal’s Clarian, together with ‘extra bonus features’ from Paul Ritch on remix duties. Stream it here, in all its fullness.

Clarian 'Dinosaurs In Space' - Boiler Room Debuts

It's been some months since the last Gold release but only David Phillips' two bangers 'Doogiehouser' and 'Daaance Daance' had the golden touch to deserve the expensive metal. And being played by Gold Rcrds boss Rainer Weichhold for a long time he knew exactely how to make his own version together with greek Kling Klong artist Vangelis Kostoxenakis. As Enzo Siffredi's last Keno Records release became such a big track in Rainer's dj set he was very glad that Enzo agreed for his remix of 'Doogiehouser'. Beware of the doogie.

SoHaSo’s saga continues with a sound selection of singlets. Singular recordings from separate artists, bound together through Nuno Dos Santos’ spellbinding powers of creation and combination. The results are SOMEWHERE I and II: two compilations to be released digitally this summer, starting right here with part 1.	

Turning towards their inner selves, their deepest thoughts, their most hidden feelings, it seems that every single artist that was invited for SOMEWHERE I isn’t just delivering a track, no, they’re sharing a piece of themselves, showing a part that’s rarely seen or heard. From the ever evolving grooves of Love Over Entropy to the almost indie-electronica vibe of Polynation. From Sigward’s Moonfaced Oracle, chanting towards the stars, to Nuno dos Santos’ own Wibaut127, made as a last tribute to that one legendary club in Amsterdam that once was but now is no more. This and much more stories can be found when listening between the lines of every track.

The SOMEWHERE series feels like a sound based confessional. Telling unheard stories, exposing unseen surfaces and unheard sounds. A compilation to cherish, and one of which there’s another part on it’s way. SOMEWHERE II will be released later this summer, with both parts being made available on CD in very limited quantities.

An intriguing combination of names known and unknown, it’s once again testament that there’s so much happening, somewhere, all the time. And remember: this is only the first part.

Kiani & His Legion - At The Violet Hour (SOMEWHERE01)

http://www.mixmag.net/read/davide-squillace-premieres

'Social Glue' is more eerie than you'd expect from Davide. He uses mystical synths to kick things off before a menacing and rugged bassline comes storming in. 

Add in some energetic hi-hats, enigmatic builds and wall-shaking drops and you're left with a track that will do as damage in your living room as it would the White Isle.

The last couple of years have been huge for Pomo, going from a relatively obscure Canadian producer to releasing his debut EP on HW&W, remixing for the likes of Janet Jackson and Mark Ronson, producing “Am I Wrong?” on Anderson Paak’s debt album and touring the globe with Disclosure as their opening act. 

Bastard Jazz has commissioned Pomo to be next in line for the fourth volume of their "Tempo Dreams" compilation series, following on the heels of the acclaimed Soul Clap compiled Vol. 3. As with other Tempo Dreams records, Pomo has curated a slick and well polished album full of exclusive tracks from friends and collaborators such as Lindsay Lowend, Aloka, Exmag, Syre, Daniel Crawford, FVLCRVM and more.  Touching on the shimmering nudisco sound, plodding deep electronic vibes, funky instrumental hip-hop, and even a hint of drum’n’bass, Tempo Dreams Vol. 4 takes it’s rightful place in the series as one of the most forward thinking compilations showcasing emerging young talent.

Arp Madness (Ab Initio)

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
