October sees Dutch record label Indigo Aera celebrate their fifth birthday with a huge five disc box set. Our pick ‘Sweet Nightmare‘ from San Proper and Antal of Rush Hour fame is an easy pick for a highlight, its arcing bassline and emotive strings swap positions with heads down tribalism over the course of the track.

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.

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.

Premiere: rkss ‘Load’
“Cutoff EP” presents perhaps the warmest, most direct sounds yet heard from the London based artist. Its combination of glowing reverb soaked pads, housey kicks and twisted electronic detritus coming across like Wolfgang Voigt played through a futurist filter.

Premiere: Asymmetrical – Banging In The Haze
Asymmetrical ‘Banging In The Haze‘ is a dusty jam brimming with raw hi-hats twirling along acidic synths. Marking the transition from a busy night to the caressing light of dawn, a celestial and smooth melody takes over darkness and deploys its wings towards welcoming lo-fi house lands; still exuding a metallic aftertaste of down-pitched breaks, muffled drums and magnetic bleeps.

Premiere: Mono-Enzyme 307 – Inner Skill
Effusive acid heater ‘Inner Skill’ roots deep into off-kilter psychotropic grounds. Interlocking helter-skelter 303 lines with screeching keyboards gone astray, it’s a frantic safari ride across a lost mystic jungle ; colours and shapes flickering dangerously as the rhythm revs up and totemic percussions hammer out a fierce archaic pulse. Savage.
