Elevating the paradigms of electronic music, Chapelle XIV Music unveils “The First Android Church Of Claude Shannon,” an immersive LP from Yoyaku household Roger Gerressen. Bathed in the aesthetic allure of retro-futurism and the imaginative dimensions of classic sci-fi cinema, this opus synthesizes the arcane with the avant-garde in a masterful tapestry of sound.

Comprising six intricately crafted tracks, the album serves as an auditory odyssey that transcends the borders of genre. Whether enveloped in the nebulous ambience of a discerning DJ set or fueling introspective home listening marathons, these compositions resonate with an arresting quality that’s evocative yet profoundly innovative.

Within the multi-dimensional soundscapes of this album, listeners find a harmonious blend of homage and innovation. Drawing inspiration from Claude Shannon—the mathematical genius and pioneering mind behind modern digital circuit design theory—”The First Android Church Of Claude Shannon” stands as a testament to the synthesis of past and future. With Roger Gerressen at the helm, the boundaries of electronic music are redefined, creating an aural experience that is both cerebral and soul-stirring, beckoning the listener into an uncharted territory of sonic exploration.

Having provided a remix for the label back in 2010 Ethyl & Flori now release their first full ep for the label, ‘The Last Ninja’ kicks things off with an unmistakable old school tech-house feel which to us at FOF recalled the classic ‘Architecture’ dj mix by Terry Francis with it’s punchy kick, sharp percussion and imbued uplifting warmth. ‘Fornjot’ by Flori on the flip is a different proposition, although still deeply entrenched in a throwback to yesterdays production stylings, this is a much more techno orientated groove with the tracks repeated metallic bass riff anchoring the track in a gloriously hypnotic yet fresh way.

Fear of Flying delve once more into the world of long players with Leif, someone who has been a feature of the label since the labels inception, having contributed seven releases on their combined journey together. 'Dinas Oleu' is the culmination of that journey; a sonically refined trip through hazy deep house and tripped out ambient skits More

Ivano Tetelepta returns to duty on FOF after his well received 'True Colours' LP with a veritable potpourri of tracks in collaboration with various cohorts. First up Ivano's collaboration with Steve Siwalette twists and turns with a steppas' beat whilst melodic licks build the track up to it's anthemic break. 'Give Me Something So I Can Dance' w/Alex Jansen roughs things up with a low-slung dirty groove whist Ben Buiendijk injects an acidic flavour into his collaboration before Ivano & Bas Amro delve deeper with the sweetly melancholic tones of 'Manolia'.

Rather large remix package from Fear of Flying featuring interpretations by Soul Capsule and Steve O'Sullivan's 'bluetrain' alias which kick like a mule.

Nail provides the lead track for FOF's latest vinyl only excursion - originally produced in the same time period as the classic tracks on the 'Ode Rammel' reissue ep earlier in the year, 'Glazed' lay dormant on one of Nail's DAT for many years before being rediscovered and given it's first airing now on FOF. Chunky roughed up house beats are the order of the day here, a real peak time groove. New talent 'Harry McCanna', resident at London's infamous 'Undersound' nights, debuts with 'Act 1', a beautifully subtle bassline driven groove that rises above the pack with it's super warm pad lending the track a warm and fuzzy hypnotic edge. Romanian talent 'Zece' kicks off the flipside with the most contemporary offering; a breakbeat laden groove with a fx laden vocal snatch underpinned by that all important b-line. 'Sonodab' rounds things off with a beautifully deep and melodic slice of electro on 'Brown Study', the percussive elements giving rise to a hazy melodic pattern for those early hour excursions. More

Roundtree could be the alias of a very well known (perhaps legendary) producer who might want to remain anonymous. We're not saying, or perhaps we just did, I'm not sure. Anyhow, two rather crisp housers on offer here, 'G-String Diva' with it's sharp as nails percussion and female spoken vocal which lends the track a nicely sleazy edge and 'No Need For the V' with it's prominent baseline driven grove. Enjoy! More

The first of two remix discs of Ivano's excellent LP. Up first are Bristol residents 'Outboxx' who bring a slick electro vibe to '113'; Chilled and melodic with a classic sounding b-line, this is one of the best remixes to feature on the label to date. Flip for two remixes by Roger Gerressen, a member of the ESHU collective along with Mr Tetelepta. His '117' remix is a slick house affair again with the b-line very much in the fore. His take on '119' is a much deeper affair, dubbed in it's outlook with the melancholic piano stabs of the original a main feature.

Fear of Flying delve into 2013 with a look back to the past with this solid 4 tracker of tracks from Nottingham's Nail. Originally released on the UK's revered DIY Discs imprint all the tracks on this ep have proven hard to get hold of over the preceding years with nary a copy available on Discogs for anything less than a King's Ransom. 'Clear My Mind' was recently featured on Dyed Soundorom's DJ Mag covermount mix whilst 'Try' was included on Andrew Weatherall's early 'Essential' mixes and 'Til The Feelings Gone' was a standout on the recent Fabric compilation by Zip. With a pedigree like that its an easy choice to make, especially with the bonus cut 'Optimus' which proves to be the tougher of the 4 tracks giving a nice rounded edge to the ep.

For the next instalment on their vinyl only imprint, Fear of Flying look to producers old & new for the second volume of their various artist ep. Two distinct flavours are packed on the vinyl with the A side being the housier of the two; Schatrax provides 'Just For Fun' - following on perfectly from his crossover hit 'Get it Right' with the same deeply phunked up sample based vibe. Ivano Tetelepta continues his hot streak on the label with 'Lot', very classic sounding in it's approach with a real blissed out & sunkissed groove for the forthcoming hot summer months. Techno is the main staple of the flip side; The Analogue Cops offer up 'Introduction' under their OCP guise. As you'd expect from these analogue warriors the groove is raw, the samples peaking and the beats intense. New artist Ste Roberts rounds things off with 'Booze' which takes its cue from Studio 1 records of old but ups the ante with tripped out noises and a tougher edge.

Ah, Romanians. Doncha' just love 'em. Well, it appears that, yes, we very much do here at FOF as over the years we seem to have nurtured our fair share of talent haling from those shores and here we are yet again with another bright young thing in the shape of Nu Zau. 'Pason' is a dark and trippy early morning ride, haunting pads and vocal snatches really bringing home the heady vibe over the course of its 10 minute running length. 'De Ja Vu' on the flip acts as a nice counterpoint with its more optimistic outlook - a frisky tech house groover reminiscent of productions from the early days of London's Tech House scene, still with an underlying sense of trippiness but one more associated with hot shimmering days spent outdoors than Pason's sweatier dark room feel.

So, here he is again with 'Mists' a track previously unreleased but unmistakably Schatrax. Submerged beats, a skippy groove and a simple effective riff are the essence of the track while 'Keep On Loving' injects a glorious uplifting feel with a bouncing b-line and classic piano riff. Flipsides 'The Almighty' keeps things deep whilst 'Aliena's Groove' is one of Schatrax's signature tracks with it's haunting melancholic riff keeping the emotions high. More

Next up on Fear of Flying's vinyl offshoot label regular Cally joins up with good pal Andi to provide a 3 tracker of stripped down tools. 'Smelt' kicks things off with it's cavernous bass stabs and solid beats whilst 'Druma' on the flip offers up similar stripped back vibes but injects more of a groove. 'Etajul 13' is the more dancefloor friendly track on the ep with tougher beats and a driving b-line
