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.
Nautiluss: Reflections EP
Nautiluss makes his debut on Ghostly International’s Spectral Sound imprint. Expertly constructed, the word “solid” is not strong enough to cover it.

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.
Yves Tumor: Serpent Music
Serpent Music, the new album by Mykki Banco associate Yves Tumor, may only feature lyrics on a few of its tracks, but it somehow manages to convey a painfully vivid narrative. A diverse collage of sound that lurches from meditative to viscerally evocative.

Milton Bradley lifts the veil on The End Of All Existence
Five years after the last episode of The End Of All Existence, Milton Bradley is back with the ultimate number of the series, the soberly-titled ‘Part III’. We took the chance to discuss this particular project, the recent release of his debut LP and how Berlin shaped his vision. You can also stream the gloomy ambient cut ‘6 Minutes Before Dawn’ within.
Premiere: Asymmetrical – Banging In The Haze
Asymmetrical ‘Banging In The Haze‘ is a dusty jam brimming with raw hi-hats twirling along acidic synths. Marking the transition from a busy night to the caressing light of dawn, a celestial and smooth melody takes over darkness and deploys its wings towards welcoming lo-fi house lands; still exuding a metallic aftertaste of down-pitched breaks, muffled drums and magnetic bleeps.

Moscoman talks up ‘A Shot In The Light’
We sat back with the Israeli born, Berlin-based producer Moscoman as he talks up production modus operandi and getting outside of his comfort zone. We’re also glad to share the italo-indebted rollercoaster ‘Losing My Wedge’, a wild arpeggiated tune that shall make some heavy damage on the dancefloor.
