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.
Premiere: Melly – Skip Fire (Lumigraph Remix)
After debuting on Where To Now? last year, Melly makes his return to the Brighton-via-London label with ‘Flying Ducks’. Today we’re proud to present Lumigraph’s remix of ‘Skip Fire’ – rolling out a shamanic invocation over a prophetic four-note melody, all driven by a deep low-end groove.
Facta talks up his Bloc debut ‘Alsatian / Scotch Mist EP’
Bristol based producer Facta discusses his debut release on Bloc and his involvement with the label, plus his affiliation with Bristol’s vibrant music scene and what he has planned next.
Nathan Melja joins Technicolour with ‘No No No’ EP
True to his signature blend of breezy tape-saturated house and dynamic floor-magnets, Melja aligns yet another compelling collection of strictly club-aimed weapons.
Premiere: Africaine 808 – Everybody Wants To (feat Blind D.D.)
Grinding disco-savvy grooves, soulful vocodized vocals and earthy rhythms into a jagged funky strut, Leyers and Nomad serve up an infectious treat dedicated to sunlit outdoor celebrations and ecstatic nature communing.
Suzanne Kraft: DJ Safety Track
Be it through soothing atmospheric panoramas or tight-strapped floor-apt beats, the inch-perfect adroitness of Herrera in both the arrangement layering and textural carving will sure leave a memorable mark.
Jun Kamoda: The Clay EP
This is by no means a shy debut and Kamoda has clearly sought to embody the friendly, funky and hedonistic fervour of a Mister Saturday/Sunday party with three full on bangers all at peak time tempos.
