The legendary Music Man continues to put out quality with this killer piece of old school techno courtesy of Spanish producer Humano. Progressive and acidic.
Not an everyday occurrence around here, an exclusive guest mix. It comes courtesy of Liverpool based DJ James Rand who continues his Rabenmutter series for us here. Gorge yourselves on this feast of electronic goodness, there are bits of minimal, bits of house and lots of techno strung together into a seamless treat.

Zachary is a resident at the Robert Johnson and he was new blood for the ever impressive Brontosaurus label with his In Control EP last year. As a label with a definite sound aesthetic, Zachary certainly fits in well alongside the likes of Arto Mwambe and The Exile Missile. Richie Lion is a crafty throbbing house edit of the first few seconds of Lionel Richie's All Night Long.
Sticking to edits with attitude, here is a track from a Moxie release that samples one of Cerrone's soundtracks from 1978. I like this, it's pretty raw and sleazy.
Taken from Juju & Jordash's self-titled LP of last year. The LP really highlights J&J's broad range of influence from Detroit to jazz. It's a winner for sure and has drawn a following from a wide scope of dj's. They will be playing at what in my opinion is one of the best UK festival line-ups of it's kind this summer, that is Freerotation. Also playing will be Tom Demac who put out this monster on Liebe*Detail as a split with producer of the moment Kink's oh so beautiful Bitter Sweet.

Ogris Debris are an Austrian duo with a penchant for twisted tech house. I guess their style kind of reminds me a bit of Ost & Kjex but maybe that's the obvious comparison to draw. It's good stuff nonetheless. Salty Womb is their latest output and this track is previous to that taken from the Compost Black Label series.
Little known about this superb vinyl release on Giegling. Chord heavy, driving dub techno that doesn't drag out too long, we've become used to listening to epic length dub techno. These 4 tracks range from 2-5mins and all work marvellously well. Traditional techno with a very fresh twist.
You may also have heard something by Cascandy in these parts before. This mysterious poultry loving artist has just released their fifth release with a sixth soon to follow. This here is the soothing tech-house b-side of number 4.
New on Kalk Pets is Thisisthat by The VSQ. Hypnotic tech-house crafted with delightful pop precision. Efdemin also serves up a 9minute flute laden remix that is certainly the one for the dancefloor. Really nice.
Taken from the superb Balkan Vinyl series Red is this from Mark Archer. Head over to Balkan Vinyl to see what they are about, it's really cool with some top looking releases still to come on their Colours Series, excited for Plaid, Secondo and Marco Passarani (half of Tiger & Woods).
