Moonwalk – Power Of Universe [Siona] Miss Monique's Siona Records label rolls out another stylish new EP here, this time in the form of Moonwalk's excellent two tracker Power of Universe. The title track goes first and has widescreen and warm progressive house drums setting the groove. It is embellished with sci-fi motifs and warm solar pads that all get your head amongst the stars as you head off on a mind expanding melodic trip with brooding bass. Welcome To The Future then lifts energy levels with bright, trance-tinged chord arps that rise up and down the scale over a slinky, tech-house tinged drum line. These are suitably epic and melancholic tunes from this always standout label.

Henri Bergmann & Wennink – Simulacrum [Automatik] Following up the indie dance future classic Mind Control, Henri Bergmann & Wennink return with a heavier club-ready dancefloor bomb. Big polyphonic bass synths, gliding melodic arps and Wennink's trademark emotive vocal drive the track relentlessly towards an epic breakdown. We wanna know the secrets you hide! Early club support from Tale of Us tells its own story, while the remixes take Simulacrum in completely different directions. Betical gives it the breakbeat treatment reminiscent of Bicep's take on modern dance breaks, The Element imprints his trademark brand of underground deep melodic techno, Murat Uncuoğlu delivers a hypnotic synth-driven version that locks into a twisted groove, while Oibaf&Wallen take a funkier acid approach that builds into dancefloor destruction.

Ameli Paul – Encore (Ruede Hagelstein Remix) [MEIOSIS] Due for release in November, Echoes of Memoria is the eagerly anticipated debut long player from Ameli Paul. A strikingly artistic project that sits somewhere in between electronica, alternative synthpop, breakbeat and even operatic excursions, the Berlin-based outfit has created a truly personal and contemporary work of art that breaks away from normative convention. The album was created over the past five years, with each track on the album representing a period in Ameli Paul's turbulent life. With an early Voice message [2016-08-21] (one of the tracks from the album), Ameli inspired Paul into making music together and a love romance between two people was born. The melting pot of a trained singer and awarded jazz musician with a successful electronic music producer, the common experiences, impressions, smells, emotions and encounters processed by both Ameli and Paul over the past seven years have shaped their unique musical signature. Overall Echoes of Memoria is a musical d Read More

SKALA – Tout Le Monde [Stil Vor Talent] A few months on since the release of her long-awaited debut solo release for the label, "Liquid Gold", SKALA returns to SvT with "Beide Alleine" to round off what's been a busy and decisive year in her irresistible rise. Carving out its own singular lane at the confines of stripped-back pop melancholy and more tribal-oriented electro/techno dynamics, SKALA's sound finds its most strikingly vivid and understatedly poignant incarnation on the title-track - here presented in both extended version and radio edit, never quite picking a side between club-readiness and abstract-leaning digressions. A compelling mix of bass-driven forge-ahead girting a heart-wrenching core of strings and acoustic piano felicity, where SKALA's voice blooms to further impressively genuine, emotional fruition. Low-key house number "Tout Le Monde" weaves a distinct kind of headspace for your hazy mind to wander in, just as immersive in essence as its counterpart. Repurposing the piano to sustained use throu Read More

EarthLife – Dascia [Poesie Musik] EarthLife is next up on Poesie Musik with a brilliantly moody two tracker. Dascia has a shadowy tech feel with crispy hits and brooding bass. The chords are subtle and the keys that rain down bring that cosmic feel. It's an epic prog track that will take the dance floor to the next level. Valasca has more pained chords draped over sombre beats. It's an insular affair that will lock you into a trance as the drums roll on. Two stylish cuts here once more from EarthLife.

Nicolas Masseyeff – Present feat. Kittin (Marc Romboy Remix) [Systematic] French DJ and producer Nicolas Masseyeff collaborates with emblematic DJ, singer, and songwriter Kittin. Following a slew of joint releases on Systematic and Mobilee, the pair present a sultry, slow-burning number on Marc Romboy’s imprint. Present is a track from Nicolas’ long-awaited album, with remixes supplied by the label’s founder and Avision. Present opens a low-slung bassline and ascending keys, with Kittin's sultry and seductive vocals shaping the mood of the track. It carries a late-night, candlelit atmosphere, offering an enticing glimpse into Nicolas' upcoming album. On Marc Romboy's remix, the seminal artist mutates the stems to serve a straight-up, club-driven banger, with a prog-tinged synthline snaking through the soundscape. On Present feat. Kittin (Avision Remix), the New Yorker leaves a dark tint on the track. Pummelling drums and a smattering of percussion whip up the pace, as Kittin's chopped-up vocals add a sense of urgency. One for the techno heads. R Read More
Matador & Gaiser – Jiggleho [RUKUS] Two techno legends Matador and Gaiser come together for a pair of new tunes on the former's mighty RUKUS label. Matador is a new school hero who has made his own label into a bastion of techno quality, while Gaiser has been known for many outstanding releases and remixes on the industry's top labels such as Minus and Cocoon. They are both full of invention and studio trickery which is what makes this collaboration so enticing. Impressions is first and is driven by booming kicks. Squirming synths wriggling about the mix with dry hits and a haunting vocal bringing the darkness. It's an all consuming and powerful tune that will make a big impact in any club. Jiggleho then gets more m anic and textured, with frazzled synths and chattery claps building the intensity over loopy drums. Some lush melodic sequences mark take off as this one hooks you in for a trippy ride. These are two super tracks from a pair of techno titans.
