Ukranian house producer
Vakula continues to show his talent this time with a track for
The Helping Hand sampler for House Is The Cure. Sits perfectly alongside
Alex Agore and co.
This is the title track off
Conforce's EP on
Modelisme, such a solid release with remix from KiNK & Neville Watson and a super old school house vibe on the b-side.
You might have heard
Vril on here before. Well
Rau is the follow up on
Giegling. More really great dubby techno.
On a similar tip is this by MRSK. Swedish dub techno keeps getting better.
To finish a few bits of techno with their sounds firmly rooted in the past.

Been recovering from the weekend with the aid of the excellent
Synoptics (A Reflective Compilation) from 1994. Lovely, lovely stuff.

The Dutch son of Detroit
Orlando Voorn serves up this aptly titled beauty.
Brilliant remix by
Perc taken from
Tsuba Rarities.

Show-B put this track in his compilation that made
Compost Black Label Series Vol.4. It's a really strong compilation with other great tracks from Jay Shepheard, Roland Appel and Pilooski to name a few.
A dazzling debut by
Laolu. Haunting tech house with that South American/Latin vocal thing going on. Really good. Reminds me a bit of
Kadebostan which is funny because I think it actually might be Kadebostan?

Irish producer
Automatic Tasty has just put out a super
new 12" on Lunardisko, really recommended for fans of that
Clone-centric electro-house sound.
Taken from
Strength Music's delightful
Semesters II. There's just something about this that makes me go all funny, beautiful.
Back to Ireland and
TR-One's EP out on
POGO. Really lush and emotive music that goes from sounding like BoC to slow house jazziness without ever feeling out of place.

Sensational music for the setting summer sun. This is a beautifully paced woozy house track by the talented Danish producer Nick Eriksen.
Taragana Pyjarama is a new project for Eriksen who has also been getting a lot of positive attention for his work as
Eim Ick. I'm really excited to hear more! A worthy addition to Denmark's exciting electronic movement.
Eim Ick will have a 12" out shortly on the impeccable
Hivern Discs, the label has also just released
Hivern A Lestiu Vol II a compilation celebrating two years of existence, you can read more about it
on their blog.

Here's a few highly recommended bits. Experimental, psychedelic, dubby, deep and just plain GOOD.
Going to make a go of posting more regular.
1 August 2010
youANDme's second release on the
CUTZ.ME label. This is pretty essential. The vocals come from
Moodymann's interview at the Red Bull Music Academy earlier this year, top stuff.
Warped bass and melodramatic synths make this a winner. Lovely work from the Colombian's
Karraskilla and
Biatch Corp.I love the city of Krakow and surely it can only be made better still when you have musicians of the calibre and variety on offer at
Unsound Festival this October. Seriously,
check out the line up, and consider booking yourself a cheap flight.
