Blind Motive's usual melodic style has taken a backseat with their latest release, courtesy of the legendary Todd Terry and his Sound Design imprint, this is the 'Venom EP'. Lead track 'Venom' is carried by a stabbing lead part and hard hi hats, backed by classic hip hop samples and solid bass tones, making for an irresistible groove. B side 'Static Colours', however, lends itself to the boys more melodic side, with subtle modular and acid elements. All in all making for a brilliant release to to help close 2016 on! ► Subscribe: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Follow Me On Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Follow Me On Facebook: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautFB ► Follow Me On Twitter: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautTW Buy: Premiere!

Just as the chill of the northern hemisphere winter 2016 sets in, John Debo’s Mindwarp imprint awakens after a near 18 month hibernation with a bear of a release from Josh Dupont & Dan Snow aka Extended Play. Not to name drop, but their work has already featured on labels such as Bedrock, Crosstown Rebels, Fade & Prisoner of Love. Quite an impressive feat for a couple of boys from Houston, Texas. The title cut, ‘Sounds Like Glitter’, opens with a powerful bass groove, slowly evolving with soft, percussive melodies to a killer breakdown where Dan’s classical and jazz musical training shines through with his intricately interwoven guitar riffs & melodies. Not straying from the musicality of the original for a moment, Mindwarp bossman John Debo goes full steam ahead delivering both a remix and heavier dub version, already garnering early support from John Digweed on his globally syndicated Transitions radio show. Rounding out the package, ‘Sunset Strip’ pick

The next Chapter centres on label artist Javier Orduña (Moda Black, Culprit) who steps forward with a very personal work for the Erretica EP. The Spanish producer wears his heart on his sleeve, combining technical skill with an emotion and openness that he brings to bear on both originals on the package. 'Erretica' balances a dancefloor groove with tenser, contemplative synth lines while 'Theo Is The Parra' is a compelling, dark and atmospheric deep house cut which combines the soul of Detroit with jazz influences. Editions for the EP come from JEUDI label mates Bambook & Quina, and tech heavyweights Marc DePulse (Noir Music, Einmusika) and ACUMEN (Get Physical, Leena). Each offer a different shade of musical colour, ensuring the 23rd Chapter offers a full and rounded set of tracks. With his Erretica EP, Javier Orduña presents the fruit of his rich musical world and conclusively proves that sensitivity and strength can go hand in hand.ž ► Subscribe: bit.ly/Prog

SINCOPAT is a label set up in 2010 by Spanish producer AFFKT and his friend Alberto Sola. Known for its melodic sound, the label has an open minded approach to House and Techno music. Many are aware of SINCOPAT and its impressive roster of artists that have seen recent releases feature music from the likes of Gabriel Ananda, dubspeeka, Vince Watson, Eric Volta and David Keno. Making his second appearance on SINCOPAT is British artist Ten Ven who boasts previous releases on labels including 303Lovers, Eton Messy Records, Noir Music and Armada. A secretive artist, little is known about Ten Ven who likes to let his music do the talking, but with guest mixes for people like Shadow Child on Rinse FM and a sound that fuses melody with soul sometimes music speaks louder than words. "Gandia" has fluttering percussion and a filtered synth line that blossoms into a stabbing rhythm as expertly executed textures add a startling sense of drama. Epic in proportion, the track's fragmente

For a label to reach that revered 200th release landmark in an electronic music business that is so volatile and unpredictable should be greeted with the utmost respect it quite rightly deserves. Rotterdam-based DJ/Producer Paul Hazendonk has been the driving force behind Manual Music since its inception in 2005, and has established his label as a crucial platform for exciting talent, focused on sonic innovation that is always fresh and original. So, it is entirely appropriate that the label’s celebratory 200th instalment features two highly creative remix interpretations of the tracks from Paul’s MAN187 release from early summer 2016, courtesy of Hernan Cattaneo partnered with Martin Garcia, and Boss Axis, alongside a brand new original masterpiece of the highest order from the main man himself. As an exciting new chapter Manual Music’s meticulous history begins, Paul has also masterminded a fresh, new artwork theme to mark the occasion, continuing a theme he introduced p
