Green Door Studio co-owner and engineer, Stuart Evans, resurfaces his Sordid Sound System moniker for another belter of an EP via Glasgow based Invisible Inc. ‘Fear Eats the Soul’ takes us on a global trip as a concept EP made of “four imaginary bands from Detroit, New York, Paris and Munich”. And the results are as rich in history as they are a satisfying listen.

Ricardo Tobar: Red Sea
Ricardo Tobar takes the chance away from the more listening angled album format to roll out a title track with main room aspirations; yet, while ‘Red Sea’ is the obvious headliner, it is the supporting cast that steal a march. The most earnest welcome back for Tobar, here’s looking forward to more and with the hope of remaining free from the clutches of the torrent scene.

SPACEROCKS: Space Rocks
Glaswegian experimental psych / electronic label Invisible.Inc get proper kosmiche on us with a wigged out 6 tracker from Higamos Hogomos’ Steve Webster. Containing a mixed bag of influences, SPACEROCKS skirts all manner of electronic tropes.
Mixtape: Montezumas Rache & Dominik Von Senger
Montezumas Rache and Dominik Von Senger’s soberly-titled ‘EP’ has a lot to offer with its mind-bending elixir of eerie funk, ambientish tropes and drawn bars of mesmeric kraut grooves. We sat back with the triplet to find out more about their one-off studio session, MZR’s raison d’être and asked them to select some of their most influential cuts.
MR TC
MR TC’s mix gives you a proper taste of the ferocious trancey experience at work in his Night Of The Jaguar residency at Glasgow’s School of Art. You’ve been warned.
Mr TC: Surf & Destroy EP
If C. R. Stecyk, III once contributed the Dogtown legend by sanctifying the now concrete-cast ‘Skate and destroy’ phrase in his famous article for Thrasher magazine, Glaswegian talent Thomas Lea Clarke aka Mr TC opted for aquatic obliteration with his second instalment for JD Twitch’s Optimo Music.

We caught up with Juan, Guido and Kyle as they discuss the album’s creation and raison d’être, studio battle-gear and all-time Kraut and Kosmische classics. We’re also proud to present the LP opener ‘Alpha Moon’ in full stream – a far-stretching mesmeric scud fueled on stellar synth motifs and a relentless bass comber. Lock in!
Sordid Sound System: Lux Exterior
Mixing dub with the kind of cosmic dance floor work outs you might hear at Sean Johnston and Andy Weatherall’s ‘A Love from Outer Space’, each track features a seemingly effortless piecing together of myriad ideas.
Premiere: Sordid Sound System ‘The Baron’
Sordid Sound System ‘The Baron’ is a volatile love potion conjuring strains of Klaus Schulze’y synth lines with an Afro-futuristic lean, laying down some highly sensuous xylophone rides over a malevolent outer-space vibe. Implacable.
Premiere: Bool – Raum Zwei (Alex Ketzer’s Trance Mix)
Today, we’re glad to present you the exclusive premiere of Book – Raum Zwei (Alex Ketzer’s Trance Mix). A track rushing the suspended late-night inertia into a trance-inducing maelstrom of stretchy loops and voltes, of which even an onslaught of hard-knocking percussions could not disquiet the zenithal synth lift. Deep stuff!
