Broshuda: Ooze Vector

Just as he does toy with shapes and structures through retro-laced, post-pop and graffiti-imbued collages, Broshuda has developed a sound that is steadily mutating from a certain ‘figuration’ to increasingly abstract forms. Moving from more calibrated formats to anti-normative fields of experimentation, ‘Ooze Vector’ is a striking example of this substantial evolution.

Shifted: Appropriation Stories

Appropriation Stories is one of the top Shifted works to date – providing everything fans and new listeners could want out of a techno album, while not trying to vacillate between the dancefloor and a headphone listen. It has terrific balance, exudes confidence and packs a mean punch with silk sheets surrounding it.

Les Graciés: Low Doses

Veiled under the name of Les Graciés, Paris-based sound artist Gaël Segalen and half of the Deepblak core Afrikan Sciences break down cultural barriers to pull an unique and cohesive output off their own singular heritages. After honing their skills for four years the pair is eventually taking the leap of releasing their longed-for debut joint effort ‘Low Doses‘, due out on Lindsay Todd’s Firecracker Recordings on 25th October.

Various Artists: A Fiction Universe (EP Stream)

On 4th November Dutch imprint Taped Artifact will inaugurate their debut VA compilation, which we’re no short of excited to share with you in full. The four-track ‘A Fiction Universe‘ gathers contributions from Allergy Season’s Physical Therapy, Italian duo Hiver, Arnemann and Elmer – the techno project of Bepotel members Sagat and Walrus.

Call Super: New Life Tones

Call Super’s “New Life Tones” demonstrates Seaton’s lessons learnt in (de)constructing his album and ability to piece together the disparate influences of techno into new forms.

Skudge: Balancing Point

With Elias Landberg and Gustaf Wallnerstrom fine techno output over the years, expectations have been set high for Skudge’s follow up to their debut album ‘Phantom’. Executed with clinical precision, ‘Balancing Point’ feels almost effortless in its excellence.

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.
