Absolutely loving this track out on the
FrequeNC label, it dates back to 2005 and is taken from the
La Resistance C'est Homegrown 12". It's a lo-fi/experimental house track that samples Talking Heads track Listening Wind... love Byrne's vocals work so much.
Heavens & Angels by
Chicago Skyway is a super deep house track out on Dutch label M>O>S Recordings, a label that's also released stuff by Legowelt and personal fave
Morphosis. Remix work comes from label founder
Aroy Dee who busts out the acid. Tops.
How someone can release so much music is beyond me.
Kaliber is another recording alias of
John Dahlback and this is his 21st release as Kaliber in just 3 years. Add that to all his other work and well, it's just a bit ridiculous. Kaliber 21 is a fine example of how to produce deep and involving minimal tech-house.
I've also been collecting John Dahlback's work with his cousin Jesper as
Hugg & Pepp, there's like a stupid amount of that too.
Sweet Rosie is just out and it's amazing, but here's a couple of their older tracks.

Super stuff from
The Chain, a UK based tech-house duo whose 12" on Belgian label R&S is hitting all the right spots.
LA producer
Computer Jay offering up some killer wonky hip-hop style electronica with 8-bit and dubstep influence. Out on
Ramp Recordings.

Super minimal stuff evocative of Huntemann, produced by
Marc DePulse, his Peter & Jane EP also features a remix from the label Minus' Brazilian duo
Click Box, who on their own productions have really been impressing... kind of like a less harsh Marc Houle.
I won't lie, I got this act confused with the abhorrent chart topper at first. But Cascandy's follow up 12" is a super slice minimal tech/house. The chopped and looped vocals work so well.
Right, i'm off to Pukkelpop, I shall leave you with a slice of funk in the shape of Watch Tv & The Lovemonk All Stars, can't decide if I love or hate the name but the sound is great. Toodles.

Kemp FoldsMinimal / Tech-house - no nonsense. Just a few heavier tracks that i've really enjoyed playing recently.
Now I know the above is not to everyones taste, so this might interest you. An absorbing 11 minute piece of deep techno from
Kassem Mosse.
And to help you slink down into a horizontal position is this from
Brock Van Wey aka Bvdub. His epic release,
White Clouds Drift On And On is full of some quite beautiful music. Highly recommended if you like Jesse Somfay's A Catch In The Voice (album of the year for me by far).

One of my favourite and most fun tracks of the month. A fist pumping rock anthem from Dutch italo-disco master,
Alden Tyrell.
A release that was always sure to benefit with
The Revenge being on side for a remix,
Zepp 001's Don't Sleep, out on
Delusions Of Grandeur. Brooding, bass heavy minimal disco with some really amazing strings.
The Impatient Man is such a lovely tune, slow mo cosmic stuff with whimsical vocodered vocals.
I will post some heavier sounds soon.

Dating back to 2006 this a killer slice of electronic music by
Muskat Nuss. After hearing this track it will come as no surprise to learn that this is a staple in the sets of James Holden.
A sensational remix of
Extrawelt by
Max Cooper that you might have heard in a mix I posted up ages ago. Again for fans of the Border Community sound.
'Take me to the next phase baby.' Killer minimal synth groove from 1982.
Originally released as a 12" in 2006, this wonderfully deep space disco gem from Sweden's
Beatfanatic is now featured on the
Eternal Darkness EP. Definitely one for fans of Tensnake or Aeroplane.
To finish, some super disco nuggets.
