Fans of Death In Vegas’ early output may find this album too static and repetitious, however anyone with a penchant for visceral techno and atmospheric electronica is likely to disagree fervently with such an appraisal. For an intense listening experience, Transmission certainly delivers.

Premiere: Lemme Kno – 1234567
We’re no short of proud to premiere the pumping closer, ‘1234567’, in full today – most certainly the track that fits Future Times cross-cut themes and jazzy dynamism like a glove here. A fertile ravey vibe doped on slashing drums and fierce snares, jump-roping bleeps and bloops taking care of the track’s melodic sublimation. Tasty as it gets.
Premiere: Marcelus – Transient
Today we’re glad to present ‘Transient’ in full stream form – a track which we feel summarises Marcelus’ dedication to forward-thinking techno – draping his deep-rolling, hard-kicking beats under flickering dubby textures.
Premiere: Lake Haze – S.M.H
Following on from releases by Mall Grab, LK and Steven Be Calm, the one year Shall Not Fade welcomes Portuguese producer Lake Haze to the family with the ‘Somewhere Between Shadows’ EP. Stream ‘S.M.H’ in full.
Head-to-Head: Mark E + Eugene Whang
With Eugene Wang and Mark E coming together to great effect under the Public Release banner, and generally being good friends, we sat back and let them take control of the questions in this head to head.
Premiere: Nathan Melja – Gold Rings
We sat down with Nathan Melja as he reflects on his new ‘No No No’ offering, discusses his Dream Real residency, club and non-club music and teases us with some exciting plans for the Winter. Meanwhile, enjoy the moony ‘Gold Rings’ in full-stream – refashioning ‘Leo Draws’ emotional pads with a raw, protuberant drum programming and enhanced balearic feel. Let the charm act.
Bugaev: Sonm
Somn feels altogether more complete – building on Bugaev’s previous work with comprehensive excursions that nestle somewhere neatly between the peaceful and the compelling.

Premiere: Formation – Pleasure (Mall Grab Remix)
Well-known for soulful lo-fi house tracks often flavoured by dreamy and cherishing vocal samples on Shall Not Fade, 1080p or Collect Call, Mall Grab presents a very personal interpretation of ’Pleasure’ for Meno Records.
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.
IORI: Cold Radiance
Cold Radiance is a series of reflections on the nature of space – from the cold to the radiant. It’s a soundtrack like work, which isn’t afraid to show two sides of an idea, the light and the dark, the living and the empty.
Album Premiere: Mattia Trani ‘The Hi-Tech Mission’
Pushmaster Discs boss Mattia Trani surfaces with his debut long-player ‘The Hi-Tech Mission’, a nine-track interplanetary epic invoking Underground Resistance’s trademark fast-breakers, mind-expanding jazzy accents and straight up bashing breaks. Stream the album within.

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.
Lucy: Self Mythology
If you are looking for anything remotely resembling a dance floor work out, this is mostly not the place. But if you fancy a lysergically drenched folkloric voyage then please come in, brace yourself, and enjoy the journey.
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.
