JJ&J return on 12" after knocking us sideways with last years double LP. There's true finesse (as ever) in these tempo'd productions, with fabulous synth layering throughout and some of those ravey details they lace in so well for the more expanded dancers..up and out there.

Raised in Haifa, Israel, now located in Amsterdam, this duo of sonic explorers have had acclaimed releases on a host of cult labels like Psychostasia, Underground Quality, Dekmantel & many more. Having already released the incredible 'Release The Golem Pt1' & 'Jewsex' on everyone's favourite NYC label, the pair make ready with their most claustrophobic and menacing outing yet. The original version on the A Side stays in the same tempo territory as their Dekmantel classic 'African Flower' but concocts a much more spacious and heady atmosphere, reminiscent of Mark Gage's Vapourspce project. Side B takes us directly to the dancefloor, utilising the same bubbling bass sequence but transposing it onto a devastingly propulsive rhythm track, like the angry cousin of their 'Bleached Roots' and 'Powow' classics. A formidablle force in modern dance music, at the height of their powers !

oh oh oh... this is a bit good! Full album from the astonishingly talented JuJu & Jordash. This time crossing their more psych side (Golf Channel recordings) with their proto-everything electronics. How many more tricks do they have up their sleeves? Killer! TIP

Afrikan Sciences carry the torch and grant the sight. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. On the A side, 'The New Dun Language' shows us the meaning of loose. Literally everything about this masterpiece takes its time and operates in its own space, rhythms work together but stand apart, timbres inherently laidback are made aggressively present, like the diffused attack of a shaker that’s shook with such purpose it’s no longer granular but razor sharp. The soundstage drops all around you like percussion shrapnel, splitting your attention every which way, while the string lines remind you that no matter how deep inside your head you’ve gone, there is always a nearby exit to the comforts of familiarity. Flip the record over, however, and the track 'In His Convenient Way' will even further discombobulate your sense of self. Do you have dreams you’re on a merry-go-round and with each revolution you try to hop off, but you can’t? Each time you cycle around, the tension grows and grows? Well, this is like that, menacing but not dark, a demented odyssey through an impossibly thick swamp where you swear the trees are whispering to you but can’t quite understand their language, yet still you manage to communicate. As the time passes, and you near end of the track, the impenetrable veil slowly lifts and you realize you’ve been in control all along. These two songs will two songs will help to contemplate, heal and transcend.

Afrikan Sciences hold time in one hand and space in the other. This is his first offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s 'Have It Tall' boasts the characteristics of an improvised jam session. Tipped-off in a theme of rapid-fire percussion and an innocent chord progression, each instrument ventures into its own loosely carved space, allowing squelching sporatic bursts of bassline, rhodes piano twinkles and a frenetic funky drummer pattern that haphazardly cuts in and out, to coexist without ever stepping on one another’s toes. The production is simultaneously aggressive and mesmerizing, bright cracking punctuations alternate with a fat rolling bottom end, all elements dry and present. On side B’s 'Daily Gates', things are a little slower to get rolling. Currents of swirling synth chords carry over from the previous side, but here we’re dragged across a long and thumping upright bass intro. The fabric of instrumentation casually weaves itself over a 5 minutes of liberally syncopated rimshots, hi-hats and snaps, before a guitar interjects with a triumphant and otherworldly melody, a brief shot of glowing optimism before returning us to a heavy cosmic slop. These two songs have built the end into the beginning.

After shifting through a few different monikers the last year Deepblak Rhythm Czar Afrikan Sciences returns to form. Laced always with his elastic funk forward grooves the "Res??pras?de?" EP continues to build on his legacy. One that has consistently morphed diasporic rhythms into new colors. Creating new space on the dance-floor as well inside the mind. Four independent yet intertwined tracks all meant to make you oscillate inward outward.

Peerless rhythmist and sonic explorer Afrikan Sciences makes his PAN debut with 'Circuitous,' the third full-length, freeform offering from the New York-based artist. At the nexus of Afrofuturism, science fiction, transcendental free jazz, and future hip hop, this new work from Eric Porter Douglas casts itself and its creator in a liminal zone most recognizably charted by astral traveler Sun Ra. 'Circuitous' follows from nearly a decade of releases for Deepblak -the Oakland-rooted imprint of frequent collaborator Aybee- and shares common blood with both the elevated conscious- ness of late '80s club culture and contemporary West Coast beat scene Built around Douglas' signature polyrhythms and complex melodies, the unorthodox agility demon- strated throughout the album's fourteen tracks reflect his long history of live, improvised sets combining multiple turntables, upright bass, and a command center of digital tablets and controllers. Each track maps the artist's own movements, tracing paths of flight, highway trajectories through tunnels and over bridges, and rides through rough and gated neighborhoods. If familiar on the surface, deeper or repeated listenings to 'Circuitous' reveal the dynamic multiplicity embodied within. 'Circuitous' is a free and unbound body of work-one that defies easy classification yet translates fluidly across multiple environments-compiled over double LP in order to fully realize the scope of Afrikan Science's sonic palette. The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, pressed on a double 140g vinyl & CD, featur- ing artwork by Louis Reith & Bill Kouligas. 1. Two in the Chamber 04:45 2. Reddin Off 04:32 3.

Gifted Culture reveals the last EP of the trilogy featuring three improvised jam sessions of the collective. This time the ghetto beat maker Christopher Rau joins the crew in Berlin Mitte. Christopher, Autre and Two Thou start diving into slow, detached dreamy atmospheres eventually exploding into frenetic floor killer breaks. The music recorded in the session represent the perpetual dialog between the artists, resulting in an eclectic and variegate piece of music.

Gifted Culture collective is ready to unleash the second jam session of the announced trilogy. GMI Jam Venice comes from the filth and the mug of the abandoned ex-industrial area in the outskirts of Venice. There, Autre and Two Thou invade Hawaiian Chips’ top-notch studio, where all together ride 70’s synthesizer rarities and try to domesticate the monstrous Yamaha CS 80. This jam, inspired by the post-industrial Venetian scenario, dives between the dreams of archetypal electronic music and reminiscences of psychedelic progressive bands, giving birth to two long journeys ready to gently carry the dance floor into the outer space.
