NEW RELEASES:
Function / Silent Servant / Regis – Sampler Single One [clear vinyl] (Sandwell District) 8.50
As Sandwell District prepares to release it's first full length album this Fall, the ever enigmatic, 'art brut' collective teases us with two various artist, pre-album, sampler 12"s featuring original tracks and edits from Function, Silent Servant, Regis and Female. And the result, as you would expect, is some of the most beautiful, forward thinking techno to surface in years. With no track titles on offer, this first 12", lovingly pressed on clear vinyl, opens with "Intro", a collaboration between Regis and Function that sets the tone for both records with a sonic, industrial landscape which explores the depths of Sumner's classic SH-101 analog bass tones mixed with the perfect, subtle balance of O'Connor's expert noise treatments. Next up, Function delivers another one of his modern, yet ancient gems. This arpeggiated, cosmic masterpiece encapsulates timeless techno with its stringy, otherworldly demeanor, investigating time and space in the same vein you would expect from early Red Planet and R&S. On to the B-side, Regis delivers a mind blowing, dub-step tinged edit of Silent Servant, utilizing Mendez's lush, Kraftwerkian strings combined with Master Regis' thunderous undercurrent, this forms the perfect counterpart for Sumner's contribution and hones in the dreamlike quality found on both of these 12"s. Finally, the B2 track is a hidden, uncredited one minute experimental bass track, with an almost John Carpenter type feel that no one has claimed responsibility for.....

Female / Silent Servant / Regis – Sampler Single Two [blue vinyl] (Sandwell District) 8.50
The second and final installment in Sandwell District's pre-album sampler series (this time pressed on translucent blue vinyl), opens with Silent Servant's unedited original which picks up where his massive "Discipline" left off. This monstrous slab of warehouse techno slowly builds, stops for a moment to breath, and then unleashes an epic release, only then to wind down into a impressive outro reminiscent of Kraftwerk's best work, further capturing the illusory sound put across in these two 12"s. This is then followed by a stunning ambient piece by Female AKA Peter Sutton, which is a live extract taken from a studio session recorded in a lighthouse on the North Sea of England. On the B-side, Silent Servant delivers another proper slab of dancefloor hypnotica, this time exploring more tonal frequencies which include a sonar-eque pulse and eventually breaks into classic 'Silent Servant' melancholic chords. And finally, the last contribution is Female again by way of a Regis edit. This comes in the form of a visionary dubstep / techno hybrid which casts a spell and captivates the listener with its dark, trance-inducing mantra. Join the cult...if you already haven't...

Kero & Function - Function Kero EP (Detroit Underground) 10.99
Detroit Underground introduces the thirteenth installment to their formidable series. Function Kero ep maintains the same complex connection to abstraction as it's antecedents. Three remixes from the most surreptitious circles fracture and fuse musical styles from, Detroit techno, Dubstep, Minimal to popping Tech-House, all keeping with Det.Und's signature IDM/glitch sound. Much like a puzzle piece or a clue Vol.13 brings you closer to the core of the 313.

Damon Wild / 65D Mavericks / Screed – Side Remix (Synthetic Catalogue) 8.50
Screed is the new Acid Techno orientated project from label owner and artist Guilty Gramatics and a 'special friend'. The sound of Screed is dedicated to the underground techno scene's dancefloors and clubs and sets the norm for future artists to be released this year like Cane aka Funckarma (Warp, Ad Noiseam etc.) alongside appearances by Paul Bailey aka Paul Damage. New York techno artist Damon Wild from Synewave supports this first release with a deep dancefloor remix bomb and label friend Nick Dunton aka The 65D Mavericks from Surface Records also comes round with a great modern remix of the original track.

Unknown Artist – Lost Trax 2 (SCSI AV) 8.50
As the second part of the Lost Trax series; expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and Carl Craig-esque sounding strings. The production on both sides of this record is amazing showing the digital generation that analogue kit still sounds supreme. The Lost Trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we don't believe it's necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artist's reputation.

Robert Bosco – Biosphere EP (Minimal Soul) 8.50
Roberto Bosco is becoming an increasingly well-known name in techno today. He burst on to the scene with a remix of Juan Atkins’ classic "Game One" in 2007 on Orlando Voorn's NightVision Records. Since then, he's gone on to get praise from François K, who has regarded Roberto's music as "having an effortless quality; an almost dazzling sense of ease that masks a very strong foundation; a depth and musical maturity that belies his young age”. This lead him to his 'My Universe' EP release on Wave Music earlier this year. Now, Mr. Bosco has outdone himself with this 2 tracker EP release for Minimalsoul Recordings. 'Biosphere EP' is a 'diamond in the rough' and a standout addition to 2010’s techno releases.

Ceephax Acid Crew – Wild Westie / Romantic Gestures (Kitchen Dweller) 8.99
A mushroom and coriander curry is the recipe you get free with the latest Ceephax 12", a split with Acid Quiff called 'Romantic Gestures'. 'Tis the 3rd release on Kitchen Dweller and is a right old, crackerjack lo-fi wibbly mess on blue vinyl. The 3 Ceephax tracks are like Jenkinson Jr's take on Chaos AD - his brother’s DIY one off mad fest on Rephlex – but much more silly, random and sketchy, not without some mental Universal Indicator style 303 insanity in parts. Proper gibbering toytown stuff. Acid Quiff side is pretty darn fine too - just dark, scratchy underground experimental acid, staggering around with old skool electro beats starting fights with warped slow rave stabs and some fine samples. For fans of Michael Forshaw, Deeviem, DIN-ST, and generally mangled rave gear, renegade acid bad trip stuff. http://veto.co.uk/music/playlists/kd_003_playlist.m3u

Kanji Kinetic / Spaceface / Michael Forshaw / Mr.Sly – Assorted Nan-Bangers (Coin Operated) 8.50

Cynthia Stern – Follow remixes (Input Output) 8.99
On display here are some brilliant mixes of Cynthia's original 're-take' on a no-fakin' hip-hop classic. Real variety is the order of the day here (as any Input Output fan would hope for) from the bleeped out tones of Smashback to the dub sensibilities of the UK's finest Warlock. The one and only Paul Birken also turns in one of his much loved mid tempo mong-out affairs alongside Wee DJ's and Faceless Mind, also on classic form - make your record box a happy place....
