T|M|B|T|S - Spacebirds (buy)



Automatik-Datamatik is a Dortmund based label running super limited releases of luxuriant electro music. T|M|B|T|S 'Galactic Evening' has a run of 99 vinyl (22 black and 77 blue).



Pelon - No Stunts (Edit) (buy)



Running Back going strong of late with re-issues of older often overlooked works. This here is a reworking of a 1996 track by Pelon. Since this, Running Back have also put out tracks from Sex Tags first release by Hammon Decks and a stupidly obscure 1984 cassette track by Son Of Sam, complete with modern touching up by Ame. So good.



Acid Pauli - Den Mahlstrom Rauf (buy)



This is taken from Smaul 09 by Acid Pauli. Such a brilliant producer. Smaul 11 is just out now and is every bit as good as this, with more of an instant groove as opposed to the 6 minute build up here ;) Oh yeah, don't forget THAT Marvin Gaye track too, classic!


The latest FACT mix comes courtesy of the Endless House Foundation and it is amazing.

This is a brief mix I made with the emphasis very much on ambient, drone and experimental sound, something i'd been meaning to do for a while.

Baz Reznik - Station HS (buy)


You'll hear this Baz Reznik track in the mix. Taken from a terrific Syncom Data release last year.


Onto a couple of spot on dance tracks. Sarp Yilmaz takes a subtle approach with a groove that gets to you without you realising. Andre Kraml on the other hand goes big room with Black Water out on Trapez, massive.


Sarp Yilmaz -The Way You Move (buy)


Andre Kraml - Black Water (buy)

Inigo Kennedy - Obsidian (buy)


Moody brilliance from the prolific Inigo Kennedy on Token Records. Intelligent techno.



The Rah Band - Messages From The Stars (Atjazz Remix) (buy)


Superb remix work as usual from Atjazz who injects new life into this 1983 synth-funk gem.



La Fleur - Flowerhead (buy)


One of my favourite tracks of last year from La Fleur on Power Plant, beautiful house music that is certain to bury it's way into your head and make it a better place. La Fleur also has a remix out for Stuffa on Trunkfunk alongside Wolf + Lamb and FCL remixes.



Minimal Man - Consexual (buy)


Classic techno from 1993. The Minimal Man EP stands up better than a lot of similar music from that era, really solid stuff from the late Ian Loveday and Baby Ford.

BNJMN - Blocks


BNJMN - Traditions


These two tracks are taken from an upcoming release on Rush Hour's Direct Current series by talented young UK producer BNJMN. Influenced by anything from old folk music through to Detroit Techno the sound he creates is unique and utterly compelling. Plastic World is varied in a way that any EDM leaning LP needs to be to succeed as a whole, but not too much the other way so as to lose the listener. Pre-order here.



Dollar Mambo - Lightness (buy)


A lengthy cut off the latest Mental Groove Records compilation. Dollar Mambo serves an uplifting epic. Really, really nice.
