Peggy Gou talks up ‘Seek For Maktoop’
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.
Baleine 3000: The Nap
This EP – or whatever you want to call it – is indicative of Vlek’s deconstructive/reconstructive spirit. The Nap is a product fusing just about every beloved vinyl-based format: Its 7 tracks gives the sense of an LP, the 20-minute duration suggests otherwise, and an 8-minute track on the entirety of the B side whiffs strongly of a 12” single.
Premiere: Grandbrothers – Neon (Portable Sunsets Remix)
Portable Sunset’s remix of Grandbrother’s ‘Neon’, adds caressing vocals samples with floating synth chords and reshapes the original track into a breezy house jam. Warm and uplifting sounds to make us feel mournful about summers ending.

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: Etienne Jaumet – Rebound
Founded in 2012 by Molecule in Paris, Mille Feuilles has made a name for itself by welding the richness of a many-sided palette of sounds with the sophistication of carefully

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.
Population One returns to Rush Hour with ‘The Move’
Following on from his album ‘Theater Of A Confused Mind‘ released on Rush Hour two years ago, Detroit legend Terrence Dixon returns as Population One with ‘The Move‘, a new

Premiere: Portable – This Frozen Lake feat. Kinoo (Bodycode Remix)
Following on from the release of his seventh long player as Portable, the very intimate ‘Alan Abrahams’ released via !K7 earlier in the summer, Alan returns with a three-track remix platter featuring the lead track ‘This Frozen Lake’ plus a pair of reworks from dubstep legend Shackleton and another one from his own hand.
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.
