buy Discogstry Willie Burns aka Grackle and Galaxy Toobin' Gang, among others, does the business with four tracks of Deeper, synth'd-out House for the infamous Creme Organization ahead of his NNF release. With a head for trippy House hypnotism, Willie sashays from early '90s New York vibes on 'I'm Gonna Get You' thru the psychoactivating rhythmelodic moire of 'Windows Down', onto the ruder aerobic jacker 'Waste Of Time' and the glamourous counterpoint of 'Another Night'. Aces all round, recommended to fans of Ital, Magic Touch, Legowelt, all o' that!

Tracklist
A1. Income Tax Refund Dance A2. The White Castle Song B1. Untitled (Produced By Patrik Sjeren) B2. 3c 273 (Produced And Mixed By A.O.S)
buytry Three tracks of esoteric and functional 313 House from the AOS, plus an untitled banger from Patrik Sjeren. We're really feeling the haunting piano loops and rugged swing of Omar's 'Income Tax Refund Dance' and especially the offset craftiness of '3C 273' - a rare occurrence of your boy stepping off the 4/4 kicks to killer, shifty effect for the dancers. For measure, there's also a distorted but funky banger from Patrik Sjeren.

Ode to Detroit Vinyl Mix by Mr Lush
A mix of Underground Resistance tracks including Robert Hood and Jeff Mills.
One of the two The Other People Place releases (the Warp full length and this 12). Drexciyan involvement in this classic release is obvious. One of the deepest and intense tracks with such a warm positive vibe. Flipside contains a track by Mystic Tribe. (not very mystical of course for those who know the history of Detroit techno. Unique track from a unique project... and there are not many projects with Tribe in its name. Their release on Retroactive is one Detroit techno collector items). One of those records that get you through the day. Classic!!! buytry
ACTRESS - SHOCKTHERAPY101Wolverhampton’s finest wanderer drops another shard through the data haze.
In a recent interview for Dazed And Confused Darren Cunningham discussed the music he made as Actress, musing about early computer programming as: “a really naïve idea of typing down what someone has given you and seeing what the computer spits out and then it becomes language, language data. And you can kind of make sense of it.”
‘R.I.P’, The most recent album of this remarkable London producer can be seen as a process of understanding this fact – that the upshot of the digital age is that our language and our stories have become data. His practice of releasing music outside through Twitter and disappearing Soundclouds has been discussed in depth elsewhere on Dummy, and here is the latest, ShockTherapy101,released into Twitter’s ether yesterday like a whisper, or an inert gas, or a nerve agent. If Actress’s albums are about the process of our myths and souls becoming part of the cloud, these split releases are as important, if not more so. Suggesting Detroit techno and Turner’s clouds, it’s majestically unformed. Even though this was released in an instant, it’s a fluent expression of where Actress’s mind is, transported through the net for us all to hear.
Kangding Ray’s Monad XI is a fierce exploration of points of origin. With track titles referring to a circle, a stork, a river and a desert, the compositions are filled with abstract references to the four elements. These tropes emerge in the form of dizzying aqueous loops, arid beats, punishingly dark pads, and splintering top lines. This is music which emerges from a sound design process where spontaneity is just as prised as structure. With one ear always attuned to the coincidental.
Second in a series of releases based on capturing the energy and culture of UK pirate radio but going way beyond that as the project unwinds. Limited press. The producer is known for releases on hotflush, planet e among others (Paul woodford/psycatron we guess ;) Killer two-tracker.
The Netherlands' Incubate Festival gathered an impressive lineup of forward-thinking artists and producers for its seven-day event last fall, which included three nights of parties curated by XLR8R. As part of the festivities, Los Angeles sample-maestroDaedelus was featured as an "artist in residence," working with and sampling students at Fontys Rock Academy and the Conservatory in Tilburg in order to create a new piece of original music every day for four days. Now, the resulting compositions have been made available to download for free. In order to grasp the full scope of the project, the good folks at Incubate provided a brief video which documents Daedelus' process and finds him waxing philosophical about his production approach and the challenges a task of this nature holds. You'll find that video, along with the four festival-commissioned productions, below. xlr8r
