Something new to us here from Acid Warriorz, not sure if this is a collective or one person, but he / they make a killer rave meets acid racket which is right up our street, check their latest below and also check Soundcloud for more tracks
Superb track put up on Soundcloud about an hour ago (at the time of writing this) by Finders Keepers to showcase and promote the Strange Passion : Irish Post Punk release due on Finders Keepers sub label Cache Cache in July.
Produced by Major Thinkers, originally from their self titled 1983 LP on Portrait.
Cannot wait for the LP

Via Legowelt's Website : "Summer is coming so I made a little mix with my favorite 90s Memphis rap trax - one of
the greatest music genres in history especially during its golden days circa 1993-1994 -
Think over the top OMINOUS John Carpenter basslines, more tape smudge
and obscurity then all minimal wave records in history, enchanting inspiring melodies and
pure unadulterated poetry. More then 50 minutes of the most obscure best Memphis Rap songs
all mixed to perfection to play LOUD in your car cruising in your neighborhood while u laugh and smirk at all the pedestrian jock bro mediocrity moving past you"
Junior Tomlin was a name that first became known to us from the covers of numerous Kickin Records sleeves back in the early 90's. He began his career in design working on illustrations for computer game companies and this led to record sleeves and later rave flyers.
Alongside Jaz (who produced the artwork for the early Genaside II covers) Junior Tomlin is one of the most prolific and in our humble opinion talented artists to grace early hardcore and rave record sleeves.
2. In Aeternam Vale : DUB (Dust Under Brightness) LP : Minimal Wave
On the US Minimal Wave label, one of two releases this week from In Aeternam Vale. 80's dark synth wave limited to 999 copies
4. Kelan Philip Cohran & The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble LP : Honest Jon's
If we were naming the longest artist titled release this week then this would probably win hands down. Another excellent release from Honest Jon's
Last week we mentioned Radio Web Macba who had a brilliant feature and podcast with Jonny Trunk (here). Well on the RWM site is part 2 of collecting sounds with Ed Veenstra.
In reference to the work of the collector, Walter Benjamin wrote that the objects in a collection do not 'come alive in him; it is he who lives in them.'
This quote is totally applicable to Dutch collector Ed Veenstra. Suffering from asthma as a child, Veenstra spent the first years of his life virtually confined to his house. His parents, who had discovered the soothing properties of music, constantly played all types of records for him. According to him, this sealed his fate as a compulsive hunter of sound rarities. These days, Veenstra not only lives literally surrounded by his objects of desire, he also tells how he sacrificed his lifestyle and diet for years in order to acquire the more than 3,500 pieces that make up his collection. Veenstra is one of the foremost collectors of Broken Music
An astonishing hand picked selection featuring artists such as Gangpol + Mit, Laurie Anderson and Jad Fair.
You can read the PDF and listen to Collecting With Ed Veenstra on the RWM site here
Release of the day : Hackney Colliery Band : Prodigy Medley
Anything that sounds different, anything that is left of field, thats what we especially love and this 7" on Wah Wah 45's hits the spot. Funked up brass band Prodigy medley, this if dropped at the right time could be a killer in DJ sets this summer!!
New mixes on Intergalatic FM's mix holding page, all pretty much spacey / electronic / synth / cosmic / disco with plenty of rarities / oddities and all worthy of a place on your hard drive..
Release of the day : Drexciya : Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller II
Released today is the second CD compilation of essential electro from the infamous Drexciya on Holland's Clone Classic Cuts. A no brainer purchase for any electro lover and a great companion to the first CD compilation
The suns out so its time for some cosmicdiscobalearic action courtesy of Psychemagik for Mixmag. A good mix that really shows off Psychemagik's production and remix skills. Particular favorites are the opener Carnaval De Trancoso and stunning Persian Rub

Another cassette rip this time from 1991 and in the helm Colin Dale with his Abstract Dance show on Kiss FM. Anyone unfamiliar with Colin Dale, alongside Colin Favor, he spearheaded and championed early UK, European and US house and techno on his weekly Kiss FM radio show.
This will be up on Soundcloud for one week (starting 23rd May) and then taken down and then replaced by another gem from the archive..
Enjoy!!
Just seen this on a Discogs forum : Sleepy Town Manufacture : Memorabilia LP
A compilation of Russian Electronica of previously hard to find Sleepy Town Manufacture releases.
Hand numbered limited edition of 150 copies. Transparent clear 12 inch vinyl with white and grey splashes. Special folder from thin plastic pasted over with a tissue paper
Dave Skywalkerhas uploaded another 10 mixes in the past two days. He will be putting up 52 mixes this year (one for every week), currently on week 21, so if you have not downloaded previous 21 get on it.
The latest mixes can be found on Dave's web site here, they include his set at Glastonbury 2011, Slammin Vinyl from 2008 and Bang Face 40 and 36.
Promo mix for a night F+F=F is playing at in the The Netherlands. Not the longest mix, clocking in at 33 minutes of dark breaks but well worth a listen
Apart from the audio therein, the second most pleasing things about collecting vinyl is the artwork.
UK Label Audio Phreaks is one label that constantly brings flush Dubstep with a keen eye for detail on the 12" artwork. By drafting in the UK artist Mooselumps they produce some stunning eye catching artwork on each of its releases.
Mannequin is more than proud to announce the forthcoming release of Heinrich Dressel aka Valerio Lombardozzi, the italian producer and mind of one of the best techno-electro labels around, MinimalRome.
After some marvellous releases on Legowelt's Strange Life and Minimal Rome, Heinrich Dressel is finally celebrating the use of vintage synthesizers and driven electronic machines, holding elements of electro and ambient at the same time, but breaking from the genres too, deeply inspired by Heinrich Dressel, the pioneering German archeologist sent to study in the holy city in Monte Testaccio, who drew what is now a major tool for study of Roman amphorae, the "Table of Dressel.
Heinrich Dressel is placed in a sort of limbo where John Carpenter meets Drexciya, a sonorous journey through the darker side of the electro, taking the commands of the Elka Synthex, one of the most impressive polysynths in the history of music, planned and manifactured by Mario Maggi in the early 80s, as the commercial brother of the MCS70, synth that gave birth to a masterpice album like "Automat".
“Sighing Melodies Thru The Graves” musically speaking can be described as a captivating hybrid of styles, mixing the chilling-menacing mood of the 70s / 80s lo-fi funkadelic horror soundtracks to outerspace synthesised soundscapes in a pure classy vein.
This is cryptical-kosmische psychedelica with a nice electro retro touch and avant-minimalist vibes. An important contribution and a propulsive cinematic affair.
12’’ EP Version: Limited edition of 300 copies, white vinyl
Tracklisting:
A1 Sighing melodies thru the graves
A2 The black radiant sky
A3 Nestled against the Aurelian walls
B1 The fifty days of mighty lunacy
B2 Afterlife was writ in water
The LP is available for pre order now for release on 28th May. Buy from Mannequin (here)

To mark the release of Tom Middleton's debut sample loop pack for Loopmaster Artist Series AS101 which was released yesterday (18th May) @ www.loopmasters.com
Bass House, Liquatech, Post-Dubstep, Future Jungle..Complextro..seems there's a new dance music genre every season.
So where does modern Bass Music come from?
You could rewind back to late 60's-70's Jamaica, Sound System and Dancehall culture,18" Sub Woofers, King Tubby's pioneering Dub experiments etc, but I'm picking up the story just after the mid 80s' in both Miami and Chicago.
This is the story of Bass, Bleeps and Breaks between 1986 and 1992.
The evolution of a post Disco-Electro-HipHop-Industrial home produced sound that fused analogue drum machines, synthesisers, sampling, sped up funk breakbeats, MC's toasting on the mic and snippets of Reggae and Dancehall anthems.
And in particular Tom wanted to find the first record that used a Roland TR808 Kick drum melodically to play full Bass parts
The rest of the music selection should speak for itself.
Space and Bass dot joinery!
It's mostly chronological with two exceptions.
Future Sound Of London sampled the Sub Bass part in Meat Beat Manifesto's 'Radio Babylon' in their own anthem 'Papua New Guinea' - just made sense to have them in that order.
Similarly, LTJ Bukem's 'Demon's Theme' uses the snare from A Guy Called Geralds '28 Gun Badboy' (amongst other absolute classic samples…)
These are all stone cold Bass Anthems by true Electronic Music Pioneers.
I salute and thank all of the Artists for such inspirational music.

One of our fave exponents of experimental dirty electro and techno has to be Michael Forshaw, right from his early "Boyzone Make Me Wanna Smoke Crack" EP on his own Chan 'n' Mikes label up to his 2010 release on Coin Operated.
He has just put up something new, its a work in progress, but sounds interesting with that gritty familiar analogue sound but also a slight leftfield Dubstep feel
Blink and you missed it!!
The collective behind Disco Bloodbath, the long running nomadic club night that has taken place in many a sweat-filled basement across East London, have decided to expand operations with the launch of Disco Bloodbath Recordings.
The Disco Bloodbath story began back in 2007 as an infrequent party inspired by the hedonistic atmosphere of late eighties clubbing in Manhattan. The inaugural party took place at Passion, a Dalston basement club set underneath a Caribbean restaurant and soon grew by word of mouth to become one of London’s most popular unannounced parties.
This is thanks in part to the standard of guests that have manned the decks (Tim Sweeney, Justin Vandervolgen and Permanent Vacation to name but three) and also down to the accomplished DJing skills of it’s residents Damon Martin, Ben Pistor and Dan Beaumont.
While Beaumont is no longer part of Disco Bloodbath, Martin and Pistor maintain operations, and along with a busy DJing schedule the duo have been dipping their toes into production with a number of remixes in recent times which have laid down the foundations for a label, which pleasingly eschews the chance to stuff the world with yet more “disco edits” in favour of some original material.
Damon Martin is at the helm for the debut release with That Ain’t Right, a pumping slab of house music clearly indebted to the 90s US style which comes backed with remixes from Waze & Odyssey and the excellent Legendary Children.
Disco Bloodbath Recordings will release That Ain’t Right by Damon Martin on 12″ vinyl on June 18 with the digital release to follow in July.
Second release on Glasgow's Broken60, the cassette release subsidiary label of Broken20, is just around the corner and is produced by TVO (The Village Orchestra)
This release ditches the widescreen lush ambience and techno of previous releases and
delves head first into lo-fi, noisey spacial sounds with its inspirations from artists Zoviet France, Porter Ricks, Pan Sonic and above all
William S Burroughs.
Each copy of Red Night comes with a code to download the digital version of the tracks. All downloads will contain the album twice, once as individual tracks and also as it was intended to be, two long tracks of side A and side B.
A remix release of Red Night is also due featuring reworks by Law and a mysterious well established name in techno circles working under a pseudonym.
The first in an ongoing series where we will be asking DJ's past, present and up and coming eight simple questions.
First up is Endor Recordings label boss and eclectic hardcore DJ Dave Skywalker
1. Good music is relatively easy to find, but what was the last unique and truly original track you heard that really stopped you in your tracks?
The last one I heard was just a couple weeks ago, but I'll say now that tracks like that generally don't stop my in my tracks, they make me want to brock out even more, haha! Anyway, the track is "Flight Over Bat Country" by an artist from Hamilton called Jackal Queenston. In reality it's one of many pseudonyms of his and I'm not sure of his exact name, but I'd been linked to another track of his under a different name, and through various searching around came across this. The track has orchestral elements, samples from a Sega Megadrive, some dirty, DIRTY synths that are quite dubsteppy, and - what always works for me - a big 4/4 kick and some rowdy amens! I must have listened to it a hundred times in the last two or three weeks, I'm not joking. I can't think of any other track that combines such diverse elements and still works and makes you want to dance your socks off, haha!
As a close contender, there's a track released recently called "Summertime" by Smote. It's fairly minimal, just a piano and a breakbeat, but it's beautiful. I love piano music of any kind, whether it's happy hardcore or classical, and this is amazing. One definately to stop whatever you're doing, sit back, close your eyes and just listen.
2. Can you name one record (or
band / artist) that you can listen to again and again at home and one that was/
is always in your box when you DJ?
The track that will probably
end up in my record box whenever I'm playing is the classic "Incredible" by
M-Beat featuring General Levy. Pretty much everyone knows this, and it's an
anthem, but still is an amazing track. It took a few years to discover the
harder amen-rinsing remix that was only on the CD release, and it's
fierce!
3. What would you say was the
rarest record you have owned or currently own?
A few years back my wife bought me a copy of a
very early Alec Empire 12" that was released in 1993 on Force Inc. recordings.
She had to outbid another friend of mine for it, and she won't tell me how much
she paid! Aside from that, probably the rarest track in my collection
(unfortunately not on vinyl though) is a remix of Another Direction by Wax
Doctor that Grooverider (I think) created back in 1993. It's an amazing jungle
techno track - and it was never released. The only people I know to still have a
copy on dubplate is Ratty & Tango.
4. Crate digging, everyone
who has a love of vinyl records has one of those moments when they find a gem
whilst out digging, what's been your best find and where did you find
it?
You're asking me to go back a
good few years now, as - like most people - I haven't really gone crate digging
for a long time. However there used to be a few places I'd always return to.
Most people would say MVE in London, but it was so popular the likelyhood of
finding of finding a gem was next to nill unless you could visit every day.
Saying that, a friend did pick up a copy of the aforementioned Alec Empire
release from right under my nose for 50p at MVE Camden before I could get it.
Anyway, my haunts were Avid Records in Oxford and Bournemouth, and the one in
Oxford in particular was always good for nuggets of vinyl gold. Anyway, somebody
had found a batch of Essence of Aura presses (another rare-ish jungle techno
tracks) in their loft and handed them in, so I was able to pick up some amazing
dark jungle techno tracks for next to nothing. You could always get loads of
amazing stuff in there, obscure Belgian and Italian early 90's techno for dirt
cheap.
5. What record do you
cherish over everything else and why?
If I had to pick one, it's
Vibena's "Positive Energy Volume 1" on Universal Records. It's my favourite
track ever, of any genre, full-stop. Everything about it is amazing - the
pianos, the breakbeats, the stabs, and I can't fault anything about it. The guy
who created it (Tim Cant, who now works for Future Music) was a God in my eyes
at the time it came out in 1995, and I'd first heard it played by John Peel. I
had grabbed the nearest tape to me without caring what was on it, stuck some
sellotape over the hole so I could record onto it, and caught about 3 minutes
worth, which I played over and over to the guy in my local record shop until he
found it for me, and bought two copies. I could go on and on about it until the
cows come home!
6. Do you still buy vinyl, if
so what was the last record(s) you brought?
I haven't really bought vinyl
for a good 4-5 years now, and the rare times I've bought it since then is only
because I've contacted the artist and asked for a digital copy, which is not on
sale but I've suggested to them I could purchase the vinyl if they would send me
a copy digitally. Follow me? I haven't had decks set up in my house for around
4-5 years, and since I bought digital turntables at the start of 2010 I haven't
set up my CDJs either. Technology will always move on, the track is the
important bit.
7. Approx how many vinyl
records do you have in your record collection, either currently or back when
vinyl was the DJs tool of choice?
At most, I reckon I've had
about 2000 records in my collection spanning old acid house to gabber and
breakcore to commercial dance. I love dance music of all sorts, so my collection
reflected this. At the moment I'm in the process of selling my collection (some
would say this is criminal but I now have a family and we're hoping to move, I
don't have decks anymore and have re-purchased most of my collection digitally
where I can), so feel free to get in touch if there's anything you're after!
(Plug!!)
8. Who are / we're your fave
DJs both for technicality and for selection?
Most would say this, but Andy C
is a don both technically and selection-wise. DJ Hype is up there too
technically, and for selection Ratty & Tango is always up there. Much of the
technical skills in DJing (and I'm referring to vinyl here) have been lost in
the dance music scene since people went digitally, largely to be replaced by
live mashups, remixing on the fly etc. In a way this is good because DJs have to
be consistently on their toes, learning new technologies, but on the other hand
the idea of mastering a technique and retaining it is largest lost, because
something new is always coming out.
Massive thank you to Dave for taking the time to answer our questions
Another cassette rip, this time from 1993 from the short run of Sabresonic Radio shows that Andrew Weatherall hosted for Kiss FM. Classic Weatherall banter and some choice tracks.
This download will be available for only one week then its gone, so if you need it grab it while you can
The notion of a limited download kinda blows my mind, but thats what Mark Seven has done with this exclusive edit for his Parkway Rhythm label. Limited to 100 downloads and then thats it (at the time of writing it was up to 60 downloads, so 40 slots left)
EDIT : Taken the Soundcloud preview down as It appears the download limit was reached and the Mark Seven Groove Dub track has now gone...
Double joint release of the day today, first goes to Modeselektor with Thom Yorke "This" on clear yellow vinyl 7" on their German Monkeytown label. Limited to 1000 copies these should fly off the shelves!
Available from Monkeytown Records or Juno
Second release of the day is this reissue LP from Schaltkreis Wassermann with Psychotron on the German label Private Records. Originally released back in 1982, this is an astounding LP, check the sound clips below!
WARNING: Unless you like nosebleed high BPM Dutch / German / Homegrown early 90's hardcore and techno then you may do well to skip this post, if you do then carry on and enjoy...
Blast from the past this, one for the Gabber / Hardcore / Bonkers Hard Techno lovers. Back in 1993 while Colin Favor was away on holiday GTO (Lee Newman & Michael Wells) stood in for him on his Kiss FM radio show, the result is 90 minutes of madness!!
This is from a personal cassette rip so the quality varies, you can download the show from the link below, all it costs is one measly twitter tweet...
Melvin Pickles treats us to a sample heavy head nodding concoction of Ninja Tune's finest Hexstatic, blending album tunes, remixes, (audio) material from their stunning live AV shows and some from Robin Hexstatic's last outing "Trailer Trax". Originally broadcast on www.purple-radio.co.uk
