Solaris Eremit was released at the beginning of 2008 on Morphine Records, really solid jazz infused deep house with a lot of experimental touches. Ra.H (who is in Upperground Orchestra and records as Morphosis too) tweaks the title track for slightly more punch. Stumbled across it when I was going through the Morphosis releases on Morphine and M>O>S. Looking forward to a full-length coming up!
Incredible work by Rolando taken from the latest Ostgut Ton release. Superb video by the29nov, a duo making some really interesting videos to a lot of underground techno and house tracks. Perfect.
This is the first of 13 two track singles from Tom Trago and Awanto3 performing as Alfabet. With both artists abililty to craft infectious house music the future of this partnership is very exciting indeed!
Taken from Baud's second release an atmospheric techno masterclass from Manchester's Tom Dicicco. Baud will it's fourth 12" on Monday with Tokyo techno favourite Ryo Murakami bringing a Japanese touch to this super German label.
An unapologetic techno banger complete with multiple breakdowns. Laufmasche has been turning out some really great peaktime tracks and more subtle remixes lately on Snork Enterprises and it's Relax 2000 sublabel. Will be keeping an ear out.

A killer piece of modern acid house taken from 030303's first release back in 2009. The label recently put out EOD's Utrecht EP, highly recommended not least for the brilliant artwork.

The Jon McMillion LP remixes might get the attention for San Proper and Vakula's take on McMillion's elegant work, but Lioncub's 12 minute journey of absolute discord into an eventual R&B breakdown is really quite something!
A label to always look to for inspiration and interesting sounds is Archipel. In 2010 they celebrated 5 years of superb quality releases with a compilation from which this Flourish track is taken, experimental techno at it's very best. Congratulations Archipel.
Taken from Hypercolour's Lost Files a very dark Mike Shannon remix, stunning stuff. Also well worth checking out on the same release Minilogue's 15 minute take on one of my fave songs of last year El_Txef_A's She Kissed Me First. Still got it.
