Premiere: Matrefakt - Short Cut To Nowhere [Abandon Silence]

When porcelain hits the floor it is seen as a promise for a brighter 
time. A time in that we calm down and reconnect to a higher grace 
in order to find contentment in the imperfections and 
impermanence of our human experience.  Kinsuby reassembles fragments of legendary music from Kraut to  Disco. Just like Japanese artists recompose wonky pottery with  gold. This can also be seen as a metaphor for life. Here our fractures are the actual gold veins and a portal to growth, creativity, knowledge and bliss.
The 8th Release is a remix for Wasuremono by berlin based artist 
Maltitz.  Through the super high BPM Maltitz puts all the craziness of the last months in this remix. The German Vocals don’t make a lot of 
sense and are quite funny – a reminder for not forgetting to laugh 
and be silly.

PREMIERE : Kinsuby - Wasuremono (Maltitz Remix)

Positive Not Happy’s next release is another one from the label bosses. The Lumens serve up two evanescent tracks on ‘Caraibi’ alongside a remix from Milano native Man.E. It’s the remix that’s our pick, a straightforward driving cut with a cheeky lick of guitar and positivity in ample supply.

Caraibi

PREMIERE: Low Tape - Super 80's [TAKT]

Third compilations released on 30th of May bringing together the Rennes electro and house music scene. All funds collected are donated to the Utopia 56 association, helping migrants and homeless people.

PREMIERE : Baptou - Wake Up In Space

'Barcelona 92' is the second EP from Madrid 79 in fuego en casa after 'Aciday'. Four tracks of old Electro-Techno. While 'Aciday' depicted a day in an imaginary Madrid in the 80s, 'Barcelona92' talks 30 years after the olympic games about an alternative reality past of Barcelona where robots did sport and dance while the original town was destroyed for something more modern.

Made up live with analogue synths basslines and acid bleeps, the four tracks of the EP develop techno electro beats for the dancefloor.

It starts with Barcelona 99 with heavy 909 routines and plenty of optimism about the future. Continues with Barcelona 95 developing the electro synths when the city is built and the robotic athletes are in. Continues with the happy acid of Barcelona 98 in the B side and the EP finalises with a whole bleep acid experience : the party is over and the city as well.

PREMIERE : Madrid 79 - Barcelona 99

Fresh from DOTT’s “Puppy Luv EP” and Rudoh’s “Vinland In Space EP”, Jugaar Records is back and this time with a full-length, double-pack vinyl, and digital compilation bringing together friends from Asia and Europe. The record is testament to the healthy place the Asian electronic music landscape finds itself in and those intrepid producers who are willing to explore new scenes and sounds.
It's energy-crew from the off - with UK beatmaker Joe Koshin’s “Astro Wax”, a techy electro work-out that conjures images of futuristic cityscapes and dense urban mazes. Up next, Pakistan-born and label co-boss Rudoh maintains the electro vibe with cut-up hip-hop vocals sprinkled on top of a pulsating bassline in his “KOF”. His records are being picked up by global tastemakers from Emerald to Roza Terenzi to DJ Masda. Don’t sleep!
Moving to the B-side, German-born, London mainstay Voigtmann shuffles and deals a steppy drum pattern and intricate synth-work, with a bassline drenched in that particular brand of funk to get the party going even at the most ungodly hour. Observatory resident Nic Ford closes this disk with an ambient excursion that summons spiritual rave voices from the deep laid atop a lilting synth loop. It’s typical of his ambient performances which have gained much notoriety in Vietnam of late.
Opening the second record is Egyptian gem Hassan Abou Alam whose recent outings on Naïve and Banoffee Pies have gained him much and well-deserved attention. Here, his “Gloom” combines twinkling IDM modes with heavy sub-bass experiments primed to stop the most idiosyncratic dancefloors in their tracks.
Up on C2, the Version, 3024 and Phonica Records graduate Yak adds breaks to the equation. His “Disk Full” brings together a haunting gated synth and razor-sharp beat programming to devastating effect. Melbourne based, Salt Mines Records honcho Shedbug concludes this side with his hopeful “A Lil Piece” whose soaring synth line will hit all the right emotional chords at all the right times.
On the final side Bangkokian Chalo reminds us why he is one of the masters of this increasingly fully formed scene. His Depth Charge is a muggy dub-laden, electro jam capable of rattling the weightiest sound systems in some of the most twisted raves at the end of some of the darkest Sois.
The record is completed by New Delhi linchpin and Boxout.fm resident Monophonik, whose techno/electro “Tumbi” journeys out of the night into a euphoric sunrise moment that will be setting the dancefloors.

PREMIERE | Shedbug - A Lil Piece [Jugaar Records] 2023

Following up on the first single release for the upcoming album, Mens Aperta's new single "Sentinel" is a deep and trippy techno/house groove. Dragging drones, a deep evolving bass pattern and rhythms that keep the groove steady to keep the rave in movement.
While the first single release (Nobium) from the upcoming album was more exploring the electro influences from the artist. This single is exploring more the ravey side of the artist, mainly focusing on groove. Both tracks demonstrate just how versatile this dutch producer
and the new album are.

Keep Rugged Society Records in check for new updates on the project and similar music.

Single release date: March 16th
Pre-order is available on Bandcamp now

Sentinel

Mens Aperta - Sentinel

Dark, cinematic deep and minimal techno with ambient textures, hypnotic synth arpeggios, deep sub-bass, and subtle piano and clarinet layers, unfolding like a strategic, danceable club journey.

Gambit

Limora - Dont worry

Random Fact - Rooted (BDTOM Rmx) [Superordinate Dub Waves]

B2. Leekd - Harukai (Rumanians Remix)

Jerome is God. Jerome is Female. Jerome is Male. Jerome is You. Jerome is Me. Jerome is Inside but also Outside.

What began as a spontaneous, improvisational escape for London-based duo Jerome evolved into a tension-inducing and magical debut LP 'Moods'. Formed of 9 dark electronic musings, the pairing of Annalisa Lembo and Stella Mathioudakis set out to work in opposition to their classically trained backgrounds, instead approaching 'sessions' as a way to form songs.

Technoid mutations and chaotic, shifting structures become danceable industrial rhythms - one of which gets the remix treatment from techno-punk outfit Scalping's bass and production don James Rushforth AKA Exit Lights.
