Estonian pioneer Raul Saaramets exists in many parallel musical universes and this is reflected in his stellar output as Ajukaja, mining a rich furrow of stand out, oddball yet eminently danceable, groovy house and beat experiments. As the program co-director for Estonia's national radio station Raadio 2, he's given his country unprecedented access to some of the hottest music on this planet. He's also made some of the finest underground dance records over the last few years including 'Stranger', 'Benga Benga' and "Rare Birds' (made with long time production partner Andrevski) which were hammered by the scenes elite. His Bergerac debut has been a long time coming but well worth the wait. Mhmhmh is a super vibey late night burner which quite obviously gets its title from the faintly Germanic, sleazy vocal sample which goes 'um hum um hum'. Sklad trips you out even more with a mangled, ecstasy tinged fading in(tro) which gives you 'that' feeling. Ajukajal puts his disco hat on for side 2 with Ekleeer. A super danceable disco cut rolls out until the vocals drop in and you realise that David Lynch is on the remix. Walk previously saw light as a tape only track but it's playful scuffed up jiggery pokery cried out for a vinyl release so here it is..

Porridge Bullet connects with Rio De Janeiro don Gabriel Guerra aka Guerrinha, who clearly has patent on the deeper side of all things funky, jazzy & housey. “Prédio Avenida Central” is free flowing & instantly gripping equipment as you’d expect, full of expertly layed down instrumentation & arresting atmospheres – muy perfecto for hypnotizing the dancefloor. The title pays homage to the Avenida Central building in Rio’s rustling & bustling downtown, where Guerrinha is a frequent visitor to buy his much needed electronica.”

Porridge Bullet’s “Sunda School” series takes a shot at the world famous club format: 12” vinyl. This is part three & LLL provide the goods. Hi–jinx gritty schmitty ghetto–house flavoured business “Friday Rituals” meets hazy & drunken dub paranoia “92” on the A side. The flip starts off with acidic “Yyyeah Exactly”. Microphone’s switched on again, la–di–daaa. The squelching sequence goes ta–ta–ta–ta–tataa. You can hear the fun & should mind the cowbell. Rugged & raw “Sunda School” edition for the club kids.

Repress!

First time vinyl pressing of an amazing track from the man who invented it all together with Alan Vega in world conquering Suicide.

„Gutter Rock” is an undisputed gem from Martin Rev, dark-happy hypno-lounge from New York, recorded in 2003.

This stimulating piece of music for walking, driving and dancing is backed by two other cuts from the same year.

Limited pressing.

As PB headmaster Ajukaja before them for the first chapter of “Sunda School”, Tapes & Nikolaienko get comfortable behind an organ. These two manage to sneak along some shit of their own though – a bag of sharp rocks to cut perfect tape loops & round ones to play the keys with.

The four vignettes on this 7” paint a picture both blissful & threatening. Take “Countryside Emergency” with its loosely galloping rhythm-loop & alarming arpeggiated keys. All this might end with someone getting thrown into a fire. If it wasn't for “Jaaksoni Tamm” to smooth the situation with an inviting dreamy atmosphere. Bright & fluttery. Might be a trap though.

Dub informed free flowing goods, as you'd expect from sonic explorer Jackson Bailey & the boss of beautiful Muscut label Dmytro Nikolaienko.

“Sunda School” is a series now. Part three sooner than later!

Mastered by The Bastard.

Limited white label release.

Neuronphase is back in business with eight new tracks. As if he ever left. Aiming straight in the middle of the dancefloor, “Lon” hits the bullseye for lovers of true deepness.

“Here We Go Again” as one of the track titles suggests.

The accomplished and uniquely characteristic world-builder Mart Avi delivers his most complete body of work yet with Vega Never Sets. His fifth full-length solo release, a record of abstract soul and spectral electronic textures finds him evolving further into a state of hyperkinetism and timeless grandeur. Like the great storyteller, Mart Avi blends the familiar and comforting with the new and the unpalatable, to seduce the unawares with a bold new record that veers between folkloristic tech-noir and melodic, post-digital ballads; a movement of electronic pulses, gently held together by his finely composed worlds. Pulling at deeper contexts, he expresses an unstrained defiance of gravity through his playful character — one that is smartly dressed, charming and full of boyish anarchism. As The Quietus wrote, Avi is “like a David Foster Wallace of pop”, cerebral and hot-blooded, with plenty of fervour and a lust for living.

So what is it exactly that has locked me into this? Which one is that magnetic hook? How many grooves are in this? Simple questions, but those always lurk on our minds when we are alone with these four bombs on this EP. Thousands of noises, peeps, beats, strums do also make us delirious. And think – the mind behind this music tries to imagine a world before house and techno, while being actually well informed about those nasty styles. These exceptional works come from Jimmy Winkles Slater, a guy running our favourite radio-show on this side of Milky Way – Greta Cottage Workshop with Onlyz World is much happier place now
