Peggy Gou’s new EP on Technicolour shows off a sharp Detroit house charisma through straight-up sensuous house rollers, and should winningly validate the seriousness of Peggy’s endeavour. We caught up between two flights and tried to find out more about her impressive rise to prominence.

Premiere: Glass Figure – Nowhere
Vocoder blazing and synth arpeggios glancing off, the Drexciyan title-track whizzes at mega light speed like a space-traveling vessel flashes across fields of asteroids, in search for a new planet to colonise. You’re in for a treat.

With a stunning self-titled debut from on-the-rise local producer DJ Après Ski on the horizon, Barry steps up with a polyamorous combine of ganjah-flavoured grooves, Afro-folk polyrhythms and fruity disco nectars. Lock in!
Premiere: SMD – Far Away From A Distance (Lena Willikens Remix)
Lena Willikens version of ‘Far Away From A Distance’ is as bold as it is fidgety. Driven by a restless bumpy arpeggio – or is it the sound of a bottle pouring its intoxicating liquid to the top edge? – the track takes off for an harum-scarum flight across murky post-industrial lowlands as thwacking claps beat their binary pulse at industrial pace.

Mind Lotion: Altitude Attitudes
As Fantastic Man, Superconscious Records boss Mic Newman got us used to hi-NRG blends of organic, exotica-infused boogie and straight-up jacking rhythms. Under his Mind Lotion moniker, it’s a feast of chimey inflections and vaporous flute lines that unfurls, matching the intoxicating feel of the summits with the horizontal quietness of a shimmering seaway.
