Turn on the strobe lights and the fog machine. shtum returns with its second record, this time by Dresden's very own Kryptic Universe. His EP comes with five cuts full of dark and gritty Future Jazz. His Techno Funk is playful as it is evocative. Just listen to the bass line in "A Light In The Box" and the appropriately titled "Critters Funk". Not to mention the crazy piano in the title song and the rather hard-hitting "Dark Sky". On top we got the mighty XDB on remix duties and his take on "Signals". Again, the illustration on the B-side label is by Aram Haydeyan.

Wolfskuil Ltd returns after a hiatus of a year with a heavy hitter from Italian sound designer Edanticonf. This vinyl only release is a very personal statement from an artist known for his deep, dreamy and dare we say trancey take on electronic music. He made his mark in the music scene through pivotal releases on Silent Season and M_Rec Ltd. His profile fits perfectly as Wolfskuil’s Limited sublabel is dedicated to left of centre releases aimed at leftfield dancefloors. 1989.1 is a perfect setbuilder or afterhour anthem with it’s lush string arrangements and offbeat groove. It’s counterpart 1989.2 is more meaty especially in the sub domain and could offer a brilliant peaktime relieve for more experienced floors.
