A ridiculous release. Not a clue who or what Watkins & Almadovar are but their sound is heavy. Check this if you like Container.
This is a happy little tune. Could easily have become something that sounded too polished, but it's perfectly executed.
10 For Edge Tek by Torn Hawk is yet another quality LP for 2013, losing count already!

I do not know if I can find the time any more.
Tabernacle Records is probably the most consistently surprising, inventive and above all impressive labels around. This is a leftfield masterpiece by Paul Mitchell.
Streetwalker's Future Fusion holds up incredibly well as an LP, too easily the length and quantity of tracks could spoil the enjoyment but this just flows amazingly well, you will not get tired of this LP easily at all. Expect a lot of quirky analog sounds. RIYL FRAK.
OWL001. Delicious vocal samples and deep house groove. Mysterious.
Loopy Dutch greatness ;)
The pace and vocals on this track make it a winner, there's also a great Dapayk remix. Soundtrack techno.
112 bpm. Yum
Stanislav Tolkachev just keeps blowing me away with the quality of his music. This new one on Mike Parker's Geophone label is mindblowing.

Wonderful new tracks out of Germany and the Themes For Great Cities camp. Label boss Jan Schulte assumes his Bufiman tag for a stunning release on Verein Freier Menschen und Musik alongside Tim Schumacher with some percussive and rather quirky brilliance. Schulte then heads further into obscurity for a 10" on Edits Des Amateurs, taking a trio of funk and tribal tracks to task with heartwarming results. Enjoy these tasters of what an intriguing Dusseldorf scene currently has to offer!
aDepth Audio has just released a brilliant album by Crystal Maze entitled Enter The Maze, officially the first album i've listened to in it's entirety this year. Some really brilliant composition by Gstring and Ma Spaventi.
Mattias Fridell on Space is something to behold, airy techno with underlying intensity. Highly recommended.
Utterly addictive and uncompromising music from Mørbeck on Code Is Law.

A selection of old and new. Coppice Halifax creates some stunning work aided by only a Sega Dreamcast. Baby Ford and co with a minimal delight from 1998 as Birds. New heat on L.I.E.S. by Samo DJ and a track from last years other label of choice by many, PAN. Tommy Vicari Jnr. with some forward thinking dance music as ever. A 15-minute epic by the Acid Mercenaries (guess their genre). An absolute beauty from Gys' 2003 album Art D'echo. Re-issued cold-wave by Shoc Corridor, there's some cracking remixes on that. And to finish, some lush tech house by Avatism from a few years back.

Some sincerity and no end of year lists. Every track posted on here over the last year has been posted without bias and for of the love for it's individual sound, so a massive thanks must go to all of the fantastic musicians for their inspired sounds, past, present and no doubt future, without them this blog would never have existed. Likewise for the imagery used and it's unique and captivating qualities, a big thanks to all artists. And to you, the reader, the biggest thanks of all. I'd have given up a long time ago without you.
Historia y Violencia continues to push out some really great grooves, one of which being this by the formidable Santiago Salazar.
I've been raiding the Eevo Lute back catalogue for some time now, here's just a couple from 1991 and 2005 respectively
The mystery of lost cassette tape music gathers apace once more with the tragic love story of the late S Olbricht

Can't get enough of this by Ricardo Jefferson, with the debut release on his own Art Star label. Beautiful.
I've been pining for all Lake People material since I first heard the remix of A Forest on Musik Gewinnt Freunde. The melodies are just irresistible.
Shifted has really been putting out techno of the highest or just lately, this taken from the Sickness By Means Of Clairvoyance 12". The new release on Mote Evolver is pretty lethal as well.

Sorry for the lack of updates the past few weeks. We all get busy. Onwards with some dubby grooves, bottomless techno and euphoric twinkles.

The last Full Panda release by Yuka and Stanislav Tolkachev is some serious quality, with the prolific Tolkachev yet again managing to hypnotise like no other.
Magnificent tracks from the two Special Request EP's out earlier in the year. The raw power of the Warehouse Mix will send shivers down your spine. The intricacies of KM/MM will leave you astounded.

Ten to kick off November. Club orientated.

Get down with some brilliant old German and Japanese pop

Back in business playlist. Some euphoria on Mirau. Wistful downtempo by Cale Parks and gloomy ambience from 1991. The distingusihed voice of Jacques C. 2006 Elektronische Muskik on Traum. And crazed electro to finish. Wuzza.

Incredible electronic workouts from the late sixties to early eighties. The stories of miles and miles of tape reel are testament to the amount of effort that went into these early electronic experiments
If library music ain't your thing here's an ultra modern electro cut from Echo 106 on Lux Rec, a label with real form for this kind of stuff, check!
