I was drawn to this by the
Krause Duo remix, but the original shines above. Reverbed vocals over a dusty and deep house melody. Lovely swinging soulful stuff.
Delsin has hit a real purple patch of late. Mindblowing work from
Syrinx and
Redshape tempered with some continually impressive and cohesive sound experiments from
Morphosis.
DJ Yoav B adds to all this good music with his quite unique Love Dubs EP. Incredible music.
Friendship Connection. Sinister French techno with a decidedly German feel.

James GrahamBank Holiday weekend is just around the corner and as ever there's no shortage good things going on, if you are in London one of the highlights must be
Todd Terje's '
Remasters Of The Universe' CD launch at Fabric on 29th May where there will be no escaping the good sounds whatever your taste, from
Andrew Weatherall to
Slam to a dedicated room of Scandinavian disco hedonism. I've got a pair of tickets up for grabs courtesy of Fabric and to get your hands on them just
email me the answer this question sometime before the end of Thursday.
Q: Which iconic female famously dated He-Man Dolph Lundgren in the early-1980s?
Terje at his finest here, mixing Kraftwerk's Home Computer with bits of Strafe's Set It Off.

Ame did two remixes of this
Newworldaquarium song, I really do have a hard time choosing which I prefer. Love.
Absolutely not sounding out of place in the Berghain amongst Ben Klock etc would be the sounds of
Skudge, techno rhythms with an old house vibe afforded by the vocals.
Skudge is a new label out of Stockholm, and very promising it is too.
Grab the vinyl before it's gone.
Ken Hayakawa is making some really great music just now. This was out on
Tjumy earlier in the year and he's also got a new release out on Kina (see below).
Thank You For Listening is a peak time house belter, love it.
Kina was until recently a digital only label run out of Venice by
Cosmic Cowboys. Their first physical release
Gentle Velvet showcases what the label is about. Previously though
Nhar released this sensational piece on the label, so nice.

Quite excited by
Erdbeerschnitzel. His
4 Months EP on
3rd Strike set out stall as deep and slow house with a very catchy disco edge. It was the remixes on the EP that caught my attention, both blinders, a 110bpm space chugger from
Mark E and an uptempo Burkina Faso special from
Arto Mwambe. But the follow up to 4 Months further enhances
Erdbeerschnitzel's own production credentials. Below is the hilariously captioned video to his new track '
Cotton' that is sure to have all
Tensnake fans satisfied by it's glorious melody.
Deceptively simple, massively effective. This is a killer house track from Dutch producer
Makam. Put out by
Lauhaus' Soweso label.
Veering off down a progressive minimal track is this gem from
Robsounds.

LiveJam Records presents the new
Through Dimensions Of Sound. Live recordings pressed to vinyl delivering something special, something raw.
Taken from
Morning Factory's Forgotten Moments release on
Andy Vaz's
Yore Records. Essential house music from this talented Dutch duo. Excited to hear more!
This is superb,
Greymatter loops a bit of Rose Royce and turns it into a dizzying slow house masterpiece. Put out by the excellent
Wolf Music.
I'm going to see
Forest Swords play next week and i'm really excited. This chap's music is exhilirating.

Laid back dreamy space funk from the hotly tipped
Space Dimension Controller.
Tokyo based Techno producer
Mutron works magic on this
Beroshima track.
