Acapulco Heat
Intellectuelle EP

Confusing times need straight answers - and there is Mr. Rupprecht with his first solo EP on the new Vienna based Label Connecting People.The music appears within the post-revival of brisk jagged electronics – mostly up-lifting sometimes mysterious computational rhythm arrangements, simply pragmat-ic tools to communicate to those not seeking the exuberant. Enjoy!

The 10th release from Ute is crafted by none other than Felix Benedikt aka Alpha Tracks. Delivering the hard task of producing hard-hitting, functional and club ready tracks with the storytelling and emotion of early 90s trance-music. Expect mind-drilling 303s, ethereal pads and larger than life melodies packaged for the modern dancefloor

After recent resurrection from the early 90s on labels Mirror Zone, Animals on Psychedelics and Klasse Wrecks, Memphis returns with the Essences EP brought to you from timezones past and present.Staring at the eye peering from the centre of Side A you’ll find yourself aboard an Obsidian Submarine roaming through an alien world’s vast oceans battered by clanking synths, drenched by foaming acid and awash in tense pads.Coming ashore the buzzing tribal rhythms and floating ambience of Essences provide an immersive hyper-real landscape to consider the fundamentals of where we’ve been and what we’ve seen.Moving over to Side B, where the eye seems to have melted into a distant nebula, On Stranger Tides conjures a liana-covered lost temple built from ancient rock kickdrums and bone-dry hihats permeated with stuttering chants and a plaintive call into the night.Finally we head back to 1994 to rediscover an old prog house gem dug up from the Beneath a Different Sun EP, omitted due to time constraints from the Mirror Zone 2018 re-release, and now given a chance to breathe again.Thanks to Jeremy Hegge for his beautiful field recordings and Snoozy of Rat Face Records for all his sonic guidance.

After 6 years, label boss Ewan Jansen circles back to Red Ember’s main with a new EP.A concept journey equally for the mind and the dancefloor that strays from his house roots with themes of mysticism pushing wider rhythm palettes and creative synthesis.The opener ‘Solanoid’ marches over the horizon; a solid progression of sun-scorched chords, goaded by some distinctive chanting synths and driving bass.‘Caravania’ answers as a stomping IDM-esque fable, joined by bubbling rhythms on the ground and a central writhing serpentine synth guided from high above by voices unknown. The flip side quickly de-camps from the physical, with the organic ‘Mistik’ seeing elements of rave and tribal electronica driven by tuned kicks, sub-bass and resonant rhythms.Lastly, a stoic tome of stone and water is left with ‘Gecko’ – a skittish chunky groove, with isolated melancholic tones that find harmony in the end.

It was maybe only a matter of time before DJs Luca Lozano and Dawl collaborated on a record, the two artists have been circling each other in orbit for years now. 'Cybernetik Synergy' plays on the virtual space created between the two producers while working online, the tracks on the EP were sketched out, passed back and forth in folders until they were finished...meaning the artists never actually met in person. The result is both bleepy and breaky, its a rave record that takes in the duo's influences and love of old classic dance hits.

Loud Enough proudly presents its second release (LE002), kicking off a 3-EP series dedicated to the Roman Pigna Records, a dancefloor-oriented sister label of Nature Records. Each EP will feature classic tracks alongside exciting new compositions from key artists of the label.Leading the way is label head Marco Passarani, with two timeless cuts from his renowned Analog Fingerprints alias, alongside two new ones.As always, expect pulsating rhythms and infectious grooves that are primed to ignite the dance floors. Join us as we embark on a sonic journey that bridges the past and the future.
