Deep, dark techno (the good kind) from the mystic Morphosis, there's something really captivating about their music.
Two great producers teaming up for a release on one of my favourite labels. Challenge is the work of Tim Paris and Pete Herbert of Reverso 68, L.S.B. Optimo and more. Together they craft some 80s influenced minimal tech house with Zimmer out on Kompakt's sub label K2.
Aliases are commonplace within the electronic music scene, without Discogs I think most people would be at a loss as to who's who. These two tracks are taken from Spectral Sound Volume 2 - a compilation of 50 of Spectral Sound's finest tracks to date, essential listening! 2 AM/FM are the duo of D'Marc Cantu and Tadd Mullinix, in turn Mullinix is also James T. Cotton, and you may also know him as the darling of Ghostly International, Dabrye.
Bang up to date now with some new Jepser Dahlback and his Cables & Things EP out on Turbo. You're always guaranteed a good release on Turbo and Dahlback here delivers just that with a couple of acidic dancefloor killers, remixing comes courtesy of new French wonder - Noob. Get the EP here.

Deeper and darker than the North Sea at midnight! Unit Black Flight and the Where Is Carlos? EP. Remixes come from Legowelt who gives the Italian pastmaster film scorers a run for their money, cracking analog action.
And now for some world music, i've not posted anything like this for some time now. It's worth checking the story behind Mongolia Expedisound, there's a YouTube video here which explains it all, it's really quite lovely! Now for the sounds of Ulan Bator.

A trio of longer tracks here. One from The Mole and his latest release on Full Pupp sub label Internasjonal, For The Lost employs delay loops that create a hypnotic swathe of sound filled out with a host of other clicks and cuts, really nice. Boomkat say the phrase "Killer twelve" a lot! They mean it with the new release on the dark and mysterious Thriller imprint, producers unknown both tracks serve up atmosphere in abundance. Sumptuous dub techno. And third up is the delightful Kontext and a track taken of ~Scape's latest Round Black Ghosts compilation, enchanting stuff.
This is a wonderful mix offered up to us by Greg from Acid Girls. Such a refreshing tracklisting, perfect to soundtrack that mid-afternoon slumber we yearn for from time to time, recommended listening.

I fancy a bit of Bernard Szajner to finish, a couple of solo tracks and one from his work in Proroky and The (Hypothetical) Prophets. Interesting Szajner fact: He invented the laser harp, much used in Jean-Michel Jarre's live shows.

Here's a couple of edits from the Swedish duo of St Goran and Tiedye from IDIB. They go under the tongue twisting guise of Vastkustska Ryggdunkarsallskapet. Vansbro Boogie is an edit of a Bjorn Skifs track and Don't Dub Around Here No More is based on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 1985 track Don't Come Around Here No More.

Further edits now from Soft Rocks, taken from their brilliant Disco Powerplay III.
Taken from the legendary Beppe Loda's compilation Typhoon: Portrait Of The Electronic Years out on Sythonic this is a superb track from Duncan Mackay, originally a 7" single back in 1978. Nice.
And to finish, a bit of Michael Jackson - T&T style. T&T are the transcendent duo of Tim Sweeney and Tim Goldsworthy, not much more needs to be said really other than grab a copy HERE, the b-side also features an edit of Superstition.
Also, check out Dropular, it's very similar to Ffffound but you can also bookmark videos and whole websites, think of it as a hybrid between Delicious and Ffffound. It's proper good, like. I've got a couple of beta invites going so mail me if you'd like in.

Tiger & Woods, this mysterious duo have recently released their debut EP Hole In One. The b-side here samples a 1982 track by Evelyn King and is an 8-minute slow burner, it's really won me over.
Been meaning to post these for a while. Taken from Dave Aju's critically acclaimed LP Open Wide. Two diverse electronic tracks, both really good.

Glaswegian duo Slam absolutely kill it with their latest release Hot Knives, out on their own Paragraph imprint, full of frenetic breakdowns and some cutting acid synth.
More incredible work from Ryan Davis on his latest release Posters & Cakes out digitally on Back Home. I'm in love with everything this guy does at the moment.

It takes a minute to get going, but once it does it's just so good. Euphoric house. Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt taken from the Someone Told Me, released on Permanent Vacation.
Love this so much, to finish the superb new release from Italian's Do It Better. Bottin and the delightful No Static.
