East Kilbride’s Scott Fraser finally comes good on a 25 year promise to his younger self with his debut solo album on his own label DX Recordings out of London. This record represents the closing of this chapter and the opening of a new one.

A truly international and collaborative project pulling together the help and talent of friends around the world with mastering by Radioactive man Keith Tenniswood, cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery and world class US visual art and design legends, Tim Saccenti and Nick Martin on photography, artwork and design.

Limited to 300 solid red heavyweight vinyl copies, brown kraft sleeves; individually hand stencilled and numbered by the artist, printed inserts feature a collection of moments and images from the last 25 years - the studio, the equipment, the people and the places that came together to make this release. Japanese rice paper inner sleeves.

Limited edition hand printed screen print by Niall Greaves at Newbridge Print Studios in Newcastle on the first 30 copies exclusively available via the DX Recordings Bandcamp page.

Musically diverse, crossing styles, flavours and moods, threaded meticulously with razor sharp Roland TR606 programming and glued together with a Space Echo, Expanded opens with the sub aquatic funk of ‘Eden And After’. Side one takes you through banging electro on ‘Energy In Constitution’, the dark dub techno of ‘To The Letter Of My Oath’, leaves you disappearing through a black hole on ‘The Path Of Helium Rain’ and the sound of aliens talking through FM synthesis on ‘Collected Stills’. On side two: a slice of dark, heavy instrumental hip hop gets things started with ‘Where Is That Perception? ‘. Next we get into some straight 4/4 club techno with cut up drums and bumping baseline in ‘Mi Dominante’ before moving through some blissed out Detroit vibes on ‘Earth Looking Inwards’, a rough as you like TR606 driven experimental electro groover ‘Object of Life’ and finally closing out with the Ectomorph inspired stark electro of ‘Steel (NB_BLOOD cut)’.

[T U N N E L] returns on Etichetta Nera with a terse, broken beat anthem asking the question, "How many of you out there...have ever been...part of a RITUAL?". With cross-Atlantic deep treatments by Victor Martinez (Psycho Skunk, Calahorra), Corbin Davis (Blank Code, Detroit), and Darren Quail (Animal Farm, Glasgow), The Ritual ep crosses datelines and sonic boundaries with one purpose: to get deep on the dancefloor.

Visual Techno. Electronic Meditation. Crowd Synergy. Passionate about techno music as a shamanistic medium, TUNNEL is an electronic music group focused solely on evoking an inward journey through inspired, sonically complex electronic music. Vivid, poly-rhythmic techno becomes the medium through which TUNNEL unfold their vision of self, unity, and possibility. The ENTER ep marks their debut. With their A-side, Moment of Introspection and Through the Noise Field, TUNNEL creates two peak hour Berghain-inspired techno tracks built around layered synths, tense builds, and driving rhythms. With thoughtful breaks and sonic twists, they combine a sensitivity to the needs of the DJ to inspire a moment. The intensity of the tracks derives from TUNNEL's signature sound, sustained atmospheric builds derived from singing bowls and other instruments used in world meditation practice. The result is a hard-edged drive towards a mind-altering dancefloor experience. The B-side includes two remixes of Through the Noise Field by veteran producers Steve Stoll (Proper NYC) and Chance McDermott. Steve Stoll's remix hooks the listener with its driving, thick percussion and melodic loop from the original. It sits perfectly in a peak-hour techno set. Chance McDermott's message to the masses, DANCE!. His playful, club-friendly workout inspires the wall-flowers to get on the floor with catchy electro-inspired melodic hooks and Detroit-focused synth bass.

Another great release on etichetta nera, this time is the Toronto master greg gow. Already on top labels such as Transmat and his own Restructured greg give us a track that came from the idea of blending detroit sounds with house and giving the track a good warm feeling with a nice groove. On the remixes Francesco Bonora & Mirko remodel the track in their techno mood while Corrugated Tunnel version is more detroitish house. Edwin was an instant fan of the original so he want to his remix a brand new feel with a laid back summer feel
