More than often, musicians feel that releasing music is giving birth to a baby but no one knows better than women. Stefny Winter realizes a dream by putting out a collection of meaningful tracks, all made in various important moments of her life. More so, some of the tracks were made while she was pregnant, making this project even more special to her. Coming from the 90's as a DJ who would juggle between styles, Stefny explores with no compromises or time stamp, her various tastes through time. "Wind Walker" becomes a savory collage of music that won't really stick to standard styles but will become familiar to any ears.

After releasing the excellent 'Wormhole' on Japan Excursion Joint 3, the most talented Stefny gives us her debut solo Archipel 12", "Echinodon", featuring remixes from Bruno Pronsato, Isomer Transition and a newly birthed project of Somfay's called Flourish. This package, by all means, is set to infinitely clutch and grab ahold of many a mind. "Echninodon" is wonderfully fanged, each maxilla locked and loaded, ready to capture the entirety of the mind's resources and set it into intricate motion. It possesses a hypnotic prowess of such a level which makes it difficult if not impossible to shift one's attention away from it. If lucid dreaming is possible while one is awake, waking dreams within wakefulness, this is sure to cause just such a condition to arise, leading to deliciously formed headscapes where every scene is endlessly novel and created out of the finest of mental interior brushstrokes and every individual shade and colour is endless in its depth. "Silofai" is a part of this continuum, this waking dream during wakefulness, and it has just as many details to show for it. It's scenery is subtly tinted with just the right balance of funkiness and steamed, warm, darkness while its patterning winds around itself like a fractal, coiling, technicolour serpent. Isomer Transition's remix of Echninodon takes the original and strips it down to a darkly tinted scape of low Hz funk which is set to broadcast its seed throughout plenty a cortex where its staccato, anodyne, roots will infinitely branch off. Bruno Pronsato brings us two versions of Echinodon, one exclusively digital and one for the vinyl. His versions wrap the original in spirals of darkly jazzed percussion with mind encompassing, breathy yet heavy, girth, and spread open the doors of hypnosis as far as they can open until they have no other option but to unhinge, to detach and enter the labyrinth. Flourish takes Echinodon and modifies it into a downtuned chamber of spitting ophidian darkness where original elements are folded in on themselves and inflated into new forms More

Oliver Dodd(Acacja/Xylophone Jones) first appeared on ADDON06 and returns with a timely EP of analog rhythms and head tripping movements. Hailing from Nashville Dodd creates a sound all his own between the influences of Detroit techno and Euro minimal shifts. Stark, deep and pulsing best describe this 4 track EP. 'Elevators and Escalators' is the title cut which will flip you up and down. A sure cut that is already in the
hands of Hawtin, drives with 808 beats, falling synths and rising plucks. An epic DJ tool if there ever was. Let it ride and play tricks. The rest of the EP is rounded out with dance floor cuts for mind and body. Enjoy.

Artist series Compilation Part Two features all new artists to the label. Chicago techno icon Frankie Vega reappears on vinyl with a sonic journey that has minimal appeal yet some banging edges. Addon head Dietrich Schoenemann finally arrives on a release offering 'Age(less)' ,a slightly retro deep cut with tribal influences and early morning NYC imagery. Nashville's Oliver Dodd selection is a hypnotic and bouncing minimal type track. 'The Calling' builds before the great fall of a chilling synth pad and filtering synth stabs. Rounding out the record is a very off center track from Tony Rohr and Schoenemann. Grunged beats, inverted vocals and chopped sequences is only one way to describe this inner cut. More
