VA	Tresor 30	12X12" BOX	TRESOR	TRESOR 330LP
$230.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/15/2021 Since 1991, Tresor has provided a home for artists to germinate their ideas for advanced new sounds and broadcast them to the world. The pioneers that first traversed the Detroit-Berlin connection and were at the forefront of a new cultural movement gave to Tresor its original and continuing mission: community, resistance and reshaping the world to come. The Tresor 30 compilation represents a major landmark in this continuing history of electronic music. This unique collection of music profiles some of the artists that gave the previous three decades of Tresor its sound and foundation, but it also casts its gaze forward. Writing new postcards from the future, this collection brings new artists who maintain a connection to that original mission to the fore, charting ways in which this ethos can continue to build bridges and break walls in the next 30 years. Bringing together 52 essential tracks -- both classics and exclusive commissions -- each of the 12 records in this box-set charts a unique line of flight from those artists that helped define the shape of this new music to those who continue to pattern its landscape further. The future is bright and it's now. Limited edition boxset, 12x12" 180 gram vinyl; silver pantone + foil on ultra-black board; includes 16-page booklet, download card, and poster double-sided 90x60.

TRANSCENDENCE ORCHESTRA, THE	All Skies Have Sounded	2LP	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 304LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/1/2021 Double LP version. "Gonzen, uminari or retumbos. Perhaps you've heard these sounds? They're known to occur all over the world and, as one might expect, humans have strained to offer various explanations for these unsettling emissions that materialize unbidden from the sky. We like to say that we've understood what's happening so that we can move on. Tidy up the loose ends and don't scare the horses. Nothing wrong with that in good measure, but there's something to be said for the Haudenosaunee peoples' explanation. They pointed out that the Great Spirit hasn't finished their work of shaping the earth and is making a fair bit of noise while they're at it. If you accept that many questions never truly get answered, in fact can or should never truly be answered, you may be able to tune your mind to this collection of lingering sonic detonations. If you accept that the work is ongoing, our labors seldom done, that there's not much point talking about the end of anything, you may be ready to join us. It's not our task to finish it, nor are we free to desist." Written and produced by Anthony Child and Daniel Bean. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu at Schwebung Mastering, February 2021. Cut by Andreas Kauffelt at Schnittstelle, Berlin, April 2021.

MYST MILANO	Shapeshyfter	LP	HALOCLINE TRANCE	HTRA 023LP
$19.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/1/2021 Myst Milano creates a world all their own on Shapeshyfter, the genre-bending debut album out on Halocline Trance. The tracks are brazen and intentional -- a swirl of frustration, guile, inwardness and ecstasy. Completely self-written, the production and flows draw from a wide scope of influences -- a charismatic pastiche of sound and personality from a crucial new talent in Canadian music. Myst offers a masterful distillation of the ultimate undistillable moment. The atmosphere alternates between masturbatory + paranoid; bullish + insecure; juvenile + sage. Moments of pin-drop honesty punctuated by horny bozo energy. Shapeshyfter promises only one thing: to guide you places you'd never expect. The tense confessional energy of "All Filler" lapses into a complex vulnerability in "Oh Boy". The amped up speaker bruiser energy of "Sewn Up" is contentiousness at its most impulsive. Energized by its unpredictability and spirit, Shapeshyfter will leave you wondering: is it victory or survival at all costs... All songs written and produced by Myst Milano. Additional production by David Psutka. Additional vocals on "No Shade" by James Baley. Mastered by Kevin McPhee at East End Mastering. Cover photo shot by Jorian Charlton, with assistance from Joshua Chase.

ASTRO, GLENN	Purple	12"	TARTELET	TART 050EP
$14.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/10/2021 Glenn Astro returns to Tartelet Records with Purple, a four-tracker of minimal slow burners and futuristic dance music, marking the label's 50th 12" release. Since releasing his second album Homespun in late 2020, Glenn Astro has been quietly channeling his funky instincts towards new production approaches. Purple, a four-piece compilation of mutant future-boogie daubed in Rogers-Nelson hues, comes through with emotional heft. "Following up on Homespun, I wanted to try out some more dancefloor-oriented tracks again," says Glenn Astro. "Keeping it simple and practical, while not being too predictable. I incorporated a lot of modular synth bits and experiments, with 'Flux' being an almost exclusively modular-based jam." Incorporating tricky sound design and fluid structures, Astro's new lines of enquiry never come at the expense of the groove. From the opening thump of "Penduloop" onwards it's apparent that his rugged rhythmic kinks are present and correct to hook in the dancers, while the melodic drops later in the track edge in a little melancholic flavor to take the mind somewhere else entirely. On this opening track, the artist explores new territory with his version of early naughties minimal house -- a welcome slow burner. The EP title track "Purple" slaps with purpose, not least in the Linn-esque drums and melodic bassline, but it's a positively dreamy piece which skips on crooked beat formations and floats upwards via a multi-timbral tapestry of yearning synth shapes and robotic vocals. On "Out Of Office" Glenn Astro provides a generous dose of electro nostalgia when he amp sup the heavy-hearted feeling with aching string pads and electro-informed machine logic. The track becomes alive with its deep un-synced rhythms and dark bass notes, pushing further into the abyss. "Flux", with its tool-y feel, takes the electronic mantra further and sheds light on the source of much of Astro's new sound palette. Crucially, even in its techiest moments, an irrepressible humanity shines through across Purple. Glenn Astro's soul is the binding agent which links his early, sample-heavy house to his more explorative new angles, and it comes through in abundance on this fully-formed release. For fans of Steven Julien, Funkin Even, Floating Points, Aphex Twin, Palms Trax.

$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2021 A repress of the much sought-after EP from DMX Krew, aka Edward Upton, which begins with a tribute from the artist to his father, whose voice is sampled on the track.

Five tracks of melodic electro-grooves, with "Slam Your Body" providing the most dancefloor-friendly offering.

AFFKT	The Big Picture	2LP	MOBILEE	MOBILEE 034LP
$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2021 "The title The Big Picture is about seeing things from a positive perspective, the album wants to be an optimistic pill although a big reflection of what I have been, what I lived and what I have become at this very moment. I feel in an age where I feel fine looking at the pastas much as looking forward to the future." --AFFKT Inspiration strikes in a myriad of waves. AFFKT's new album brings together all the best feelings and elements of the Spanish producer's creativity into one cohesive release. New concepts and styles that deliver the energy needed to be released after a forced pause. Sonically speaking The Big Picture is probably his most expansive and multifaceted electronic-driven album to date. AFFKT's carefully constructed retro-futuristic electronica definitely suggests the quaint and unique forms of body music bringing ties with rock, pop and certainly more organic sounds. The musician is creating a new path, anew future by travelling to the past. This new LP is redefining its own new genre somewhere between techno, indie dance, industrial and new wave inspirations. That said the songs of the new album hide unforgettable moments in the artist's life. Unlike when composing an EP, AFFKT likes to build his albums in a cinematic way. By taking a sonic approach to telling stories. The artist is looking for a deeper, more descriptive way of working and describe feelings, moods, by using a different language. The Big Picture can be enjoyed while dancing, as well as serving as emotional therapy. The album will be released exactly four years after the previous ground-breaking LP Son of a Thousand Sounds on Sincopat. Features E11e, Sutja Gutierrez, and Piek. Splatter vinyl.

SOLYST	Spring	CD	BUREAU B	BB 384CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2021 Spring is Thomas Klein's fourth Sølyst release on Bureau B, gleaned from material spanning the past three years. The time he has spent with these pieces has been time well spent. In revisiting them, he has posed new questions, rearranged and reworked some elements, dismissed or discarded others. The process of reappraisal has seen certain passages expanded upon, others pared away or refined. In the beginning, a sequencer and a sequence; rumbling along, not too fast, deeper tones and minor keys. Swathed in drum patterns and percussion, a mesh of metal and the occasional, unannounced crash of drums, as on the shimmering "Flex" or "Hold". Echoes and echo chambers, phasers and flangers used as glue: Spring, the (S)piral, a flexible, coiled spring, stretched, bent, twisted to fit the signal flow. Isolated sounds and vertical planes are added to the hypnotic, rhythmic framework, melodies are revealed on a nano level in transitions between nuanced layers and allusions. With all these elements in play, Klein creates a cinematic atmosphere for the big or the small screen, heavily laden in subliminal darkness, more spectral than aggressively threatening. A sense of foreboding, perhaps -- or the nervous excitement of seeing a storm gather on the horizon as one eagerly awaits the spectacle of thunder and lightning. Photophobic dancers, tar on their shoes, flashes of light, monochrome is our only color. Spring is the soundtrack to a night such as this, plotting its course through to the late morning: take "Sheroes" and play it between Martin Rev and Chris & Cosey, take "Atlas" and play it, if you will, after Tolouse Low Trax. And before the doors reopen, take "Spiral". The most seductive moments in all of these pieces are those in which Klein lets go of functionality, unleashes the groove and the space opens up, wider and wider, floating atmospherically into the late hours of the morning. Spring slots into the genealogy of the three preceding albums -- Sølyst (2011), Lead (2013), The Steam Age (2016). Not that there is anything wrong with that, and yet Spring reveals Klein at his most confident, opening up his field of vision to explore the margins of the structure he established on Sølyst. Each track on Spring hints at a fresh start. This is where Sølyst truly begins.

APPLEBLIM/DEADBEAT/SHACKLETON	Dub Conference Vol. 1	2LP	BLKRTZ	BLKRTZ 037LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/20/2021 Great collaboration by Appleblim, Deadbeat and Shackleton. For anyone with a penchant for dub-wise low-end sonics and bleeding edge beat science over the last two decades seeing any one of these names on their own on a record would make it something well worth having a listen to. Having all three together on the same record however very easily launches it into the realm of "buy on sight". Comprised of four side-long tracks previously only available via the BLKRTZ Bandcamp page, Dub Conference Vol 1 sees these three masters of bass weight meditations exploring some of the most low-slung and psychedelic corners of their respective catalogues. Vinyl-only and strictly limited edition, this is a meeting of the minds not to me missed.

$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/20/2021 Public Possession share with you the debut album from Nice Girl titled Ipsum. As a natural progression from her prior singles on Public Possession, the music has a very capturing energy; although essentially machine music every single sound on the record seems connected with mother Earth. It's rooted in the common ground that is home to all of us: the soil that nurtures flora and fauna, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the sun and moon that shine upon our bodies. One tribe, a million rituals, a common ground: the dance (the beat). Repetitive rhythms creating a sense of community and togetherness. Features Eden Burns.

COLORAY	Future Static	2LP	ATOMNATION	ATMV 091LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 Multidisciplinary producer, designer, and 3D artist Raynor de Groot serves up Future Static, his debut full-length on Atomnation as Coloray. More than simply a collection of music, the record will be presented in an all-new virtual space where each track is a portal to a different world. Dutchman de Groot has proven himself as an accomplished conceptual artist who draws together many different creative fields. He has released everything from lush synth-pop to deep techno, and has real songwriting ability. 2019's "Can't Stop" in collaboration with Eagles & Butterflies proved that as it crossed over multiple scenes and became one of 2019's standout tracks thanks to support from heavy hitters as diverse as Hunee and Four Tet. Âme & Dixon have also regularly supported Coloray's music and asked him to release "Gazing Eyes" on their Innervisions label. Two years after his Real Life Cinema EP on Atomnation, Future Static finds de Groot opening a new chapter that explores a more conceptual sound. The album "translates the concept of man and computer creating a new reality where logic and emotion seems to be at odds with one another." Its 12 tracks have club-ready grooves, but also exquisite synth designs that are edgy and up-tempo. They will be translated to a live show and interactive music experience in VR, on your phone and desktop. In the show, online visitors will be able to get lost inside the mind of an AI and watch and interact with a Coloray performance. Presented with an artfully designed gatefold sleeve, Future Static is a groundbreaking project from Coloray that pushes creative boundaries while offering an immersive listening experience.

JAAR, NICOLAS	Space Is Only Noise (Ten Year Edition)	2LP	CIRCUS COMPANY	CCS 116LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 It has been ten years since Nicolas Jaar released his celebrated debut album, Space Is Only Noise here on Circus Company (2011). With countless accolades, forays, and dips into other waters both preceding its arrival one decade ago and since with many musical ventures this LP still stands as not only a unique and verified-classic release in the artist's own expansive catalog as well as the label's, but also amongst the general pantheon of electronic music of the 21st century on the whole. What better way to celebrate this milestone than with an immaculate must-have re-release package, with the music now spread out over double discs and cut at 45rpm on crystal clear vinyl to let the glacial top-end soar as originally intended, and the air of the general proceedings expand, once again, into the ears and consciousness of electronic music lovers the world over. Along with this technical upgrade recut, the distinct artwork has also received a facelift fit for the occasion, and will now be found adorning a full gatefold cover, inked lovingly in reverse on inside-out heavyweight paper including printed inner sleeves for a total collector's gem front-to-back. While Nicolas Jaar's own recent online musings of the origin of the album title and lead track has us imagining playful plexiglass-letterings and a fresh sense of abstract calm before soon-to-be career storms, the music itself feels to have not aged a day past its prime of creation. From the unanimous crowd pleaser "Colomb" to "Keep Me There" indeed doing just that, with Jaar keeping us right where he left us last go-round, to the luminous titular track "Space Is Only Noise If You Can See" and omni-prophesy of "Specters Of The Future" -- please join in a warm welcoming return to this universally acclaimed classic LP, which garnered coveted spots in both RA's Album Of The Year and Pitchfork's Top 20 in 2011, now in its unmissable pristine new vinyl form, sounding as fresh as ever, a solid 10 years later.

LACK	Make It Circular EP	12"	LIVITY SOUND RECORDINGS	LIVITY 048EP
$14.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 Following on from the success of 2020's Inside EP on Livity Sound and previous releases on UK labels Cong Burn and Blank Mind, Manchester's Lack returns to Livity Sound with a brand-new EP of hybridized and dubbed techno cuts. "I wanted to try and create a sense of space or calm within the tracks, even if only subtle. I suppose it was a reflection on the crazy state of the world and needing to find space within myself to stay grounded and get through it." From the deep bass and irresistible skank of "Grapefruit" to the rapid yet ice cool propulsion of "Microshift" and the spacious yet energized rhythms of "Make It Circular" and "Constant", this new record further explores Lack's fractured techno aesthetic, skillfully joining the dots between broken dub techno and vintage dubstep.

BJORKE, KASPER	Sprinkles	LP	HFN	HFN 128LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 Sprinkles sounds like a utopian postcard -- sent from the past and with hopes for the future. Recorded and produced on his laptop, while spending extensive periods of time in a cabin by the beach in a remote part of Denmark, Kasper Bjørke draws on what currently feels like distant memories; experiences of energy and euphoria from club the countless DJ gigs around the world, during his career which spans over two decades. Rooted in a colorful sound -- filled with light and warmth -- the Balearic vibes and dream house grooves merge with synth choirs, guitars, fretless and acid bass lines and intertwine playfully into a sonic stream of consciousness; a mirage of the past and what will be. Visual artist Luca Bjørnsten's mesmerizing work "Sprinkles", picturing an empty, lush and colorful garden with a large, romantic fountain perfectly embodies the surreal scenario that we have all become much too familiar with. The 13-track instrumental album follows a string of singles this spring and summer and is as a breath of fresh air and a much needed, warm ray of sunshine. Includes download code.

SANGER, LUKE	Languid Gongue	LP	BALMAT	BALMAT 001LP
$25.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 Balmat's first release comes from Luke Sanger, a Norwich, UK-based artist whose two decades of electronic music-making have encompassed a range of tools and techniques, from MaxMSP to modular synthesis. Along the way he has built an extensive catalog encompassing ambient atmospheres, abstract soundscaping, and more. With Languid Gongue, he puts multiple approaches into play. Experiments in microtonal composition balance out pieces in standard tunings, while esoteric electronic machines merge with familiar acoustic treatments and microphone techniques. The result is a constellation of his signature sounds: freeform new-age fantasia; spring-loaded toytronic arpeggios; quartz-driven braindance clockworks. Drifting between consonant, almost lyrical compositions and shape-shifting textural sketches, the album drifts with the nonchalance of a sky-high cirrus cloud, and it glows as if illuminated from within. When the label heard the material, they knew that it was the perfect choice to launch the label. To Balmat, it sounds like a roadmap for points unknown. Balmat is a new label with a cloudy outline. Jointly shepherded by Philip Sherburne and Albert Salinas, two friends living in Cardedeu, Catalonia, and on the Balearic island of Menorca, Balmat grew out of Lapsus Radio, a weekly show on Spain's Radio 3. Balmat's mission is simple: to foster new ideas, expand upon personal obsessions, and put enveloping sounds out into the world. "Balmat" means "empty" or "void" in Catalan. But quite apart from any negative connotations, the label prefer to think of it in terms of possibility: a space waiting to be filled.

RONNY & DJ SOTOFETT, REX	Epidermis	12"	FULL PUPP	FP 075EP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/13/2021 Eight years after DJ Sotofett's last visit to Full Pupp, the label received some tracks perfectly timed and perfectly primed for that elusive number 75 release. This time teaming up with Rex Ronny, the label are stoked to have him back and even more stoked about the music engraved in these grooves. DJ Sotofett and Rex Ronny embodies a solid seven-track EP for Full Pupp with a strong Sci-Fi pallet of cosmic-Italo racers. Epidermis is not another conjectural nu-disco record but a strong disco-dub infused travel in rhythm and melody. The entirety of the EP is bound together by four galactic synth tracks and three driving disco cuts, all with an individual approach. It's a solid nod to the excellence producers of Italian disco and UK left-of-center dance music has taught us since the late '70s. Rex Ronny (aka Ronny Nyheim from PsyPal fame) was challenged by DJ Sotofett to play all synth parts live in the studio, for Sotofett to mix the material in his new studio set up for ultimate cosmic, dance, and dub sonics. To perfect the rhythm suction, congas by Stiletti-Ana (from Jesse) was added in the mix, and LNS contributed with a harmony-bridge for maximum pathos.

DR. PACKER	Operation Disco	2CD	Z RECORDS	ZEDD 054CD
$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/6/2021 The forthcoming full-length album Operation Disco that Greg "Dr" Packer has put together for Z Records. On an unstoppable run recently, the quality shows no sign of slowing down as Packer showcases his talent for splicing and dicing tracks. On the bonus second CD he supplies a continuous mix live from his operating theater, packed to the absolute brim with Packer and other Z Records back catalog favorites of his. "It has been a huge honor working on the operation disco album compilation for Z Records which has been on my radar for three decades now and is possibly my favorite house and disco label. Dave Lee is a big inspiration to me as his 1991 Single 'Do What You Feel' was one of the first records to appear in my DJ sets in my earliest days as a working DJ 30 years ago. In 2013 I started to produce music under the 'Dr Packer' name and when I began doing the occasional remix for Z Records, I never imagined it would end up resulting in an album project. To be able to work on cover versions of some of my all-time favorite soul and disco songs such as 'You Can't Run From My Love' and some of my all-time favorite vocalists such as Leroy Burgess it is really a dream come true. Dave Lee is an easy guy to work with and is always open to my suggestions which resulted in me remixing one of my all-time favorite tracks of his 'Love Fantasy' which is also now three decades old. Not to mention possibly my favorite single from his Destination Boogie compilation, the '80s underground classic Colors' "Am I Gonna Be The One' plus two brand new mixes of The Sunburst Band. Making this a very exciting album project with plenty of exclusives and re-masters of my older releases, not to mention my favorite gems from the amazing Z Records back catalog." --Greg Packer. Also features Jayenne, Mistura, The Love Symphony Orchestra, Samson & Delilah, Raw Essence, Lisa Hill, Doug Willis, Magnum Force, Opolopo, Joey Remix, Patrice Rushen, JN, Crackazat, Foreal People, Horse Meat Disco, Angela Johnson, JKriv, Adeline, Antonello Ferrari, and Jennifer Wallace.

ELECTRIBE 101	Heading For The Night - The Frankie Knuckles Mixes	12"	ELECTRIBAL RECORDS	TRIBE 001EP
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/6/2021 30 years since their creation, the unreleased Frankie Knuckles remixes of Electribe 101's deep cut "Heading For The Night" are finally unvaulted, available on 12" vinyl. UK based electronic group Electribe 101 and their one album, Electribal Memories, hold a legendary place in the annals of house and dance music. The band had also found ardent fans in the US, with chart-topping success on the US club charts and mixes from some of the most in-demand remixers of the day, including Chicago house doyennes Frankie Knuckles and Larry Heard. "Frankie had already done such an incredible job with 'Talking With Myself' and he was smitten with 'Heading For The Night", recalls Billie. "He enjoyed mixing it so much that he did six mixes, each one brilliant and soulful in its own way. His effortless and perfect vocal production while creating a more danceable version makes this another Knuckles masterpiece." While "Heading For The Night" had been considered for single release, these legendary remixes never saw the light of day. Finally, Frankie's work on this song finds its rightful place in both his and Electribe 101's legacy.

MILLS AND THE ZANZA 21, JEFF	When The Time Is Right	12"	AXIS	AX 102EP
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/6/2021 Jeff Mills and the Zanza 21 project is a new forthcoming creation that's been self-constructing for quite some time. Not out in the open and easy to see, but it's been evolving more in recent months through the imprint Millsart album releases and as an accumulation of ideas that are influences of Mills' affection for jazz music as well as his constant appetite to creatively explore. The idea behind Zanza 21 is based on an old theory that "Music is most useful at the point when it touches the soul of the listener, until then, its just sound." So, the main layer in the foundation starts there. To begin, this is music in which one can live with. It's "everyday" music. The more you listen, the more you connect to it. It's music for anytime, anywhere and for any reason. A large part of this connection is based on comfort and how easy it is to understand so for this, the music had to have a certain level of clarity and organization. Second, playing instruments can have "human connection" qualities that are often misunderstood and overlooked, so the basis of Zanza 21 was to create music in a soloist mindset to demonstrate intent, not as a matter of coincidence. These are melodies and rhythms from the mind of the composer, not the machine. And third and most importantly, this music was created with the design in mind that it should connect to those who love music unconditionally. In these first releases, all acoustic and electronic instruments are programmed and played by Jeff Mills, but an aspect of this project is that Zanza 21 is actually the initial vision for the creation of a live performance band. As this project evolves, so will the step process to materialize such an effort to its full potential. Starting with this first debut 12" EP release of "When The Time Is Right" b/w "Something Like That", please consider there is already a large body of existing compositions waiting to be dispensed.

BIGENERIC	Helva	2CD	INZEC RECORDS	INZEC 031CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/30/2021 In the fall of 2016, having overcome serious health issues, Marco Repetto -- Bigeneric -- begins to weave new delicate soundscapes from a place of stillness, unaware of his emerging role in the fabled magic web of the fairy queen Helva. Inspired by an encounter with the storyteller Andreas Sommer and the legend of Helva, the fairy queen who lives on the Gantrisch mountain, and another gentle message from the universe, Marco Repetto merges his electronic strands of magical sounds into a tender and mystical composition he names Helva. Helva is a cinematic work of sound with long, hypnotically mesmeric tonal progressions and subtle ambient colors, combining influences from the electronic avant-garde and the futuristic spectrum of contemporary electronic music. This is the spiritual soundtrack of the Heart Rebels Gang who ceaselessly radiate into the world a powerful and profound force of beauty.

LNS & DJ SOTOFETT	Sputters	2LP	TRESOR	TRESOR 323LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/30/2021 DJ Sotofett and LNS have teamed up with Tresor Records for Sputters. The double-vinyl album with 15 cuts spans a hybrid of warped electro and psychedelic hypnosis, all the while remaining fixed in an unmistakable dance release. Recorded between 2017-2020, and bookmarked throughout by intros and interludes dug out from archival material, it's a deconstructed yet classic compound of techno-sonics. LNS from Calgary, Canada, is rooted in braindance, electro and acid. DJ Sotofett, hailing from Moss, Norway, is among a myriad of things commonly known for the extended work of his Sex Tags Mania and Wania labels. Together both artists give space to a guest appearance by E-GZR, a fellow Wania artist, to open the Sputters journey. The sinus bending drum stutter of "K.O." by E-GZR collisions flanging basses and chronic-inducing synth pads to blueprint the technoid atmosphere to come. LNS and DJ Sotofett take control with "El Dubbing", evoking an effect-heavy demeanor, rubbing up against solid electrified rhythms. The hypnotic moods carry over to the deep delays of "Dúnn Dubbing", freely running over a surprisingly minimal skeleton retaining a solid direction. Crafting a warmly emotive end of Side A with sparse rhythms to perfection. A meaner turn introduces Side B. Hints of electro are scattered everywhere, fat basslines, ricocheting drums and synths that mourn and drift in and out of harmony. "Vitri-Oil" exposes a tumbling sound design, fog-lit chords of material fragility and nosedives. The side closes with "Shim", a classic drift between house and techno releasing sensual euphoria with the albums first big surprise -- grand strings. Side-C proves the artists to be some of the most singular producers around with album centerpiece The 606. Clocking in over ten minutes, it kicks off as a driving techno banger, chugging bass and big chords. Midway through everything falls away, and out of the void enter scattered drums and improv piano lines emerge, while twisted dubs lead us back in an enduringly warm groove. Side D sets the clock back to the original electroid foundation of the album, casting fires with alien vibrations. "Synchronic Bass Blort" is a hard-hitting electro track, steaming sonics and thrills, its melodic hook diving in subterranean motions. On "Sputtering" the duo raspily beams into outer space, with fizzy motives that disfigure and dazzle while the harmonies of the closing track is for yourself to experience. DJ Sotofett and LNS deliver an album inhabiting a world full of sci-fi sonics and fierce groove. 180 gram vinyl; includes download.

PYE CORNER AUDIO	Black Mill Tapes Volume 5: The Lost Tapes	LP	LAPSUS RECORDS	LAPSUS 027LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/30/2021 "In the beginning, there was just a box of tapes and 'Fate's Gentle Hand.' It was the autumn of 2010, and an anonymous figure known only as the Head Technician, an employee of Pye Corner Audio Transcription Services, found himself at an auction in the village of Coldred, pop. 110. He was on the hunt for tobacco pipes when he chanced across a trio of boxes listed in the auction catalog, which described their contents only as 'archived magnetic recordings.' The sole bidder, he won the lot, and upon receipt of his purchase took possession of an unspecified number of moldering cassettes and ¼" reel-to-reel tapes. The collection contained no identifying information save for a single phrase scrawled on each box: Black Mill Sessions. And so, armed with razors, eyedroppers, and a bevy of solid-state circuitry, the Head Technician sat down at his machines and got to work . . . Some of the tapes displayed an unusual amount of degradation and ... an unsettling amount of background noise, whether electrical in nature, or otherwise,' wrote the Head Technician . . . It was a good yarn, and the music was better still. Like his contemporaries Demdike Stare and Ghost Box, Pye Corner Audio seemed to be tapping into some hidden energy current, channeling spirits via electrical means. The pioneering transmissions of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop could be detected lurking within the music's staticky swirl; so could the ominous throb of John Carpenter's film soundtracks. Drones and flutes commingled with chugging machine beats; miasmic clouds of haunted tone alternated with death disco. It all sounded eerie, otherworldly, possibly occult -- yet also, in tracks like the glimmering 'We Have Visitors,' accented with a hint of mischief. Over the next few years, Martin Jenkins -- for that, after all, was the Head Technician's name -- would go on to release three more volumes of Black Mills Tapes. Among the dozens of releases he has put out since 2010, they remain among the most beloved in his catalog. Now, ten years after Avant Shards first appeared, Lapsus is pleased to present Black Mill Tapes Volume 5: The Lost Tapes. The musical landscape has changed considerably in the past decade, but what is remarkable about the Black Mills Tapes material is that it hasn't aged a day; its retro-futurist transmissions sound just as mysteriously compelling as they did the first time around. While they purport to faithfully transcribe the sound of yesterday's technology, they end up being something more: a record of what we wish the past sounded like -- a rickety tape transfer of desire itself, spooled and boxed, just awaiting discovery." --Philip Sherburne
