Wrapping stealthy, predator-like bass moves, hissy hi-hats and granular claps around a psychedelic synth melody, ‘Jungle TV’ is an understated wonky melter. We got to discuss studio matters with Oleg and asked him about his hip-hop backdrop and further plans for the Summer.

Premiere: Daniël Jacques “When U Are”
Today we are glad to premiere ‘When U Are’, a languid composition of down pitched beat making, delayed hip-hop vocals, random soft trumpet chords and stroking hi-hats, bringing the listener to feel alienated for few minutes from every-day humdrum.
Mori Ra: Oriental Forest
Mori Ra’s ‘Oriental Forest’ is a memorable journey into the lushest recesses of the Asian continent ; mapping the melodic richness of centennial harmonics, endemic tropes and contemporary alterations with equal composure.
Premiere: Buttechno – Strainn
Moscow-based producer Buttechno returns with ‘Tepliy Stan EP’ for French imprint Public System Recordings, a five-tracker melding the best of his ferocious break-charged techno and featuring a remix from Berceuse Heroique regular Ekman, scheduled for release early June 2016.
Premiere: Wav Fuzz – Way Down To Psili Ammos
We are proud to present the kosmische-infused ‘Way Down To Psili Ammos’ in full, exclusive stream. A subtle drumwork pulses a brittle beat whilst vibey pads and fizzy synth accents expel their prismatic beauty in full effect, giving off the kind of entrancing vibe that would resuscitate the most bushed of all party animals. Better wear your sunglasses at night.
In Perspective: Mosca
With a fresh new platter set to hit the shelves shortly, the sweet-scented ‘Cedar Wood State‘ EP, it was time to check what Mosca’s been up to. The Londoner sheds light on the creation of Not So Much, talks artistic control, boring techno and internet boom.
Nuel: Unveiled
Rich of a multiplicity of listening levels and quite unfathomable deepness, Nuel’s music is creating a unique, alienated intimacy with its listener. For they are so unfettered and carefully textured, it’s fair to say these tracks haven’t finished to drip-feed their penetrating fragrance.
Introducing: Third Try Records
With the newborn Parisian imprint Third Try Records ready to drop their debut instalment, ‘Moon Dancer EP’, courtesy of Studio Barnhus co-founder and Pampa regular Axel Boman, we caught up with label head Victor Willaert to lift the veil on a very special assortment of audiophile-dedicated items.
Premiere: Eduardo De La Calle – Red (El_Txef_A’s Black Blood Mix)
Today we’re proud to present El_Txef_A’s feverish rework of the opening ‘Red’ cut. Stripping it of its balmy piano stabs and halftone singularity, the Forbidden Colours top dog bathes the original into a filthy pool of cold, static-drowned vocals, acidic bass and hissy, dysfunctional mechanics. Take a deep breath.
Central talks up “Political Dance”
With a debut outing set to drop via the ever-reliable Dekmantel imprint and a first appearance at the Dutch festival this Summer, Danish producer Central is about to explode onto the international scene. We took the chance to find out more about his musical heritage, the process behind ‘Political Dance’ and his expectations for the times to come.
Video Premiere: Benedikt Frey ‘Lights’ – Directed by Moskalus
Known for championing the lo-fi aesthetic via slick FX-drowned visual pieces for some of the dust-and-hiss scene’s hottest producers, Moskalus frames Benedikt Frey’s ‘Lights‘ into a murky superimposition of chopped-and-screwed B-grade horror movie sequences gone shapeless.
Download ‘Zozi Theme’ off DJ Zozi’s new EP for 1080p
Better known as D. Tiffany, Vancouver artist Sophie Sweetland is making a comeback with her third appearance on Richard MacFarlane’s 1080p as DJ Zozi, stream and download the stellar, old-school vibey ‘Zozi Theme’ in full now.
Premiere: Isorinne ‘Closing Window To The East’
After closing out Field Records excellent trilogy of EPs at the beginning of the year, D.Å.R.F.D.H.S. member Michel Isorinne makes a debut appearance on Armenian label Yerevan Tapes. Stream his new track ‘Closing Window To The East’.
HOLOVR: Trace Realm EP
Jimmy Billingham’s new effort ‘Trace Realm‘ is just as much of an introspective journey as it offers more expressive, outgoing combinations. Brushing a vibrant mosaic brimming with chopped-up keyboard chords and volatile acid-drenched arpeggios, the Rephlex vibe is here and banging, summoning the ghosts of Bochum Welt and Dave Monolith without striking the old-school-savvy pose.
Premiere: Nebraska – It Won’t Be Long
Boosting the track’s shine with a snaky arpeggio, totemic percussions, feeling vocals and a flight of gut-wrenching strings, Nebraska manages to reinforce the tear-jerking force of the cut with a few tastefully-dusted piano stabs. A taste of sublime.
Machine Woman talks up “Genau House” + premieres Kassem Mosse remix
Ahead of the release of her third effort ‘I Can Mend Your Broken Heart’ on Where To Now?, we caught up with Russian producer Machine Woman to talk musical background, production sidelights and Berlin surroundings. Stream Kassem Mosse slow-burning revamp within.
