Once referred to as "one of the best producers you haven't heard of yet" and championed by Gilles Peterson on his radio show many times, Toronto stalwart Jesse Futerman is a producer on the rise. With tracks out on fine labels such as Church (One For Falafel King) and Local Talk's OneOffs (Life Is A Gamble)
Mr Futerman is making his debut on Omena. First up on this release is the title track - You Are Never Alone, a track filled with soulful loop hooks, disco strings and an added thump on the rhythm. This shimmering track is followed by Blinding Lights, an end of the night anthem. Can it really be you say? Yes, this one is every bit as blissful as you'd expect. Finally, the remix of You Are Never Alone by Guraimu is as close to a Todd Terje remix you can come without Terje remixing. It's a monstrous party cut of delightfully juicy proportions. What we got here ladies and gentlemen, is nothing short of brilliance. .

Julio Victoria is a name that needs no introduction in Colombia's electronic music scene. One of the most influential DJs to emerge from South America over the last decade, Julionow presents Astrolabe, his new EP and first vinyl release. It is also his debut for South East London based label, Church.
The vinyl, composed of three portentous tracks, found its inspiration in an elaborate old fashioned instrument, historically used by astronomers and navigators to identify new stars and planets. Perhaps that's the reason why "Astrolabe" immerses the listener into a celestial state of relaxation and contemplation. A dance ritual that never ends. "Evasión" introduces a more percussive lead groove that carries hypnotic top lines of fuzzy synth patterns that ease across the duration of the track. "Tres" closes the collection with groove inducing hats and a pulsing bass line that partners perfectly with more reverb-soaked swells of filtered chords and showers of twinkling & expanding melodies.
Astrolabe will have a solid run of launch events across Colombia, as well as in Asia and Europe, which will include Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Zurich and Dublin.

Mancunian Hidden Spheres has showcased himself as one of the most innovative producers out there, releasing across the likes of Lobster Theremin, Rhythm Section International and his own imprint Fruit Merchant, all of which have been the perfect outlets for his inspiring blend of house and jazz. Church now features as the latest addition, who continue their stellar discography with 'Words Can't Explain', a collaborative EP which sees Hidden Spheres alongside singer-songwriter and guitarist, Oscar Jerome.
The collection begins with the original mix, lowering you into slick jazz guitar licks and echoing vocals, before Hidden Spheres provides a tight groove to lock around the melodies in fine form. The hybrid creation of jazz meets house binds perfectly as warm keys hang effortlessly in the air and popping guitar lines carry you onwards, supporting the sublime vocal from Oscar.
The dub version opens up room for the guitar licks and synth top lines to take centre stage, a real opportunity to marvel at the arrangement here.
On the flip is Yu Su's rework who ups the tempo and dims the lights for a punchier rework.. The half way point welcomes a percussive led break before the hats return and pick up the groove once again, closing the 'Words Can't Explain' EP in style.

The Detached Observation EP kicks off with Paradise Crane - a deep and dreamy production carried by soaring synths that echo throughout. Valentino Mora builds upon the soundscape left by Rai, remixing with fine affect as he introduces a simplistic yet highly effective tech groove to complement her work well.
The B side sees Rai offer up a balearic feel with rich horn lines dancing around a haze of muffled bass line and soft kicks. The EP comes to close with more delightful reverb soaked chords which are carried by liquid smooth hats from start to finish coming together in fine form for the title track.

Following the debut 12? from young blood Happa, fledging London label Church break into the year with their second official release from up and comer Rumah. Following his debut collaborative 12? on Nineteen89, the double A-side release exhibits a maturing of the producers sound and cements his allegiance to affront, dance floor ready Techno. Both tracks centre around infectious spoken word samples, mercilessly spliced for the benefit of Hughes' exceptionally powerful use of rhythm. 'Stutter' combines bouncy kicks with glitchy percussion, whilst 'Murmur' melds heavyweight grooves with mesmerising, dark acid bass lines and cutting snares. Church founders Apes & Seb Wildblood's spin on 'Stutter' slows down the tempo into Deep House/Techno territory, with simmering reverbed stabs and atmospheric vocals, this re-imagined cut is tailor made to be used as a solid club tool. James Fox on the other hand provides a slinky interpretation of 'Murmur', Stretching out the samples taken from Rumah's originals and manipulating the evocative, soulful vocals he is best known for. The release marks an integral step into the early foundations of the promising label, Rumah is showing himself as a definite one to watch. Early support for the release comes from; Bicep, Dark Sky, Ben Pearce, South London Ordnance and Paleman.
