Federico Leocata’s latest experiment on Abstract Forms is stunning. Drawing inspiration from the experimental style and themes of recurrence in Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” (1883-1885), Leocata’s EP is hypnotic and seductive. The EP harks to the work of the legendary Gerald Donald in guises such as Heinrich Mueller, Der Zyklus and Japanese Telecom – awesome and unmistakably futuristic sounds with natural funk and a sense of wonder and enlightenment.

Collaboration project between Jauzas the Shining & Victoria Lukas featuring Ekman and Orgue Electronique. Lukas, drawing upon personal sensations, melds diary-like lyrics into dreamlike ambiance and textures, beautifully fusing with the infectious electro-pop grooves of Jauzas the Shining. Songs encapsulating lost love and longings for sensation, emotional stimulation and experiencing feelings through those of another are conveyed via vocal pieces, ‘Cold Sweat’ and ‘Coral Eyes’. Ekman contributes a driving, acidic groove version of ‘Cold Sweat’ more apt for the dancefloor, while Orgue Electronique pushes the electronic pop vibes into house territory. ‘Shadows’ written, recorded and produced by Jauzas the Shining & Victoria Lukas for Last Known Trajectory 2014

Following the release of the Visonia collaboration with the mighty Dopplereffekt that delivered ‘Die Reisen’ on vinyl and digital formats earlier this year, Visonia returns with the anticipated debut album release entitled, ‘Impossible Romance’. Commencing with ‘Juana de Arco’, which edges finely the fragile border between expectant angst and hopeful optimism, this opening piece pretty much sets the tone for the album. Undulating between the highs and lows of human emotion which beautifully encompasses Visonia’s own conception of art – to hold hands and contribute to humanity; to give beauty, wisdom, or to simply open the listener’s mind in order to reflect and ask questions of one’s own self, one’s own existence; what we have here is at times a poetic soundscape of emotions, feelings, fears and positive expression. The album, in its double vinyl format includes the previously available collaboration with Dopplereffekt, namely ‘Die Reisen’, alongside an equally striking collab with New Wave/Synth Pop artist, Mad Moizel in the form of ‘Beat Frequencies’ and late addition to the album – the sleek, driving vision of ‘Between Lies and Real Looks’.

Presenting the evolution of IN SYNC’s undisputed UK techno classic, namely ‘Storm’. IN SYNC is of course Lee Purkis, co-founder of the legendary Fat Cat record store in London and a highly-respected figure among the early underground scene. Here, lovingly reinvented by who both In Sync and Last Known Trajectory consider to be some of the finest, and in some instances perhaps most understated artists in the business of true electronic music, LKT proudly presents reinterpretations of this legendary track, alongside new versions of accompanying tracks, ‘Warm’ and ‘Subway Route’. Split over two separately available twelve inch EPs, on this, part two of two, we have stunning reinventions from Terrace (Evo-Lute Muzik) and a bass-rich, subterranean trip-of-a-lifetime from cv313 (echospace [detroit]).

An explosive caustic acid concoction awaits from within the grooves of this gargantuan twelve inch from Chicago heavyweight, Hieroglyphic Being. ‘Free the Energy (No Vocal Energy)’ is highly volatile, with severely unforgiving and distorted drum programming, this violently radioactive adventure is nothing short of brutal and certainly not for the squeamish. Title cut, ‘Acid Rain Under the Stars’ paints a dreamy landscape, while the acidic protons and neutrons busily rebound in the background on this elongated, hypnosis-inducing and beautifully mind-distorting headtrip. Straight outta nowhere like an atom bomb!

Astounding new material beamed via Shemale’s Atomic Allotment, concealed in an outermost shadowy recess of darkest Hyperborea. The musical paintbrush creates a harsh, barren landscape for ‘Hell Transformation Screens’, as deeply brooding electro and dramatic synthesisers propel each musical journey in its own unique style. There is an indescribable and mystifying tension which builds within the work of Shemale, the opening cut, ‘Dead City Photographs’ being a prime example. The soundbite here simply cannot pay justice to this tack as a whole, as the intro (which incidentally cannot be heard in the sample) is quite simply outstanding, with deadly, steely synths preparing the listener for an unmistakable and impending doom, which is ultimately realized in the dense, desolate sense of desperation interpreted in the final ambient-drones of ‘Tomb’. Converted followers of the atmospherically articulate Shemale will need no further persuasion, as this will undoubtedly be a compulsive steal, but for those with an appetite for the darker side of twenty-first century electro, then there has never been a better moment to plunge into the shadows of Atomic Allotment…Special limited edition pack includes matte postcard insert

The first phase in the breath-taking new musical project from Hadamard, who of course we know from earlier projects via Bunker, Transient Force, Mighty Robot and more recently featuring on compilations via our friends at Solar One Music. As we enter Hadamard’s universe of ‘The Jupiter Cycle’, we hear a synthesis of straight-up electro coalesce with spellbinding ambient and experimental futurism, to create an overall Bladerunner-esque environment. From the offset of our journey, ‘Approach’, dramatically defining the musical landscape with its soundtrack-like and impending atmospherics; ‘Entry Point’, a stealthy, sneering electro fiend ñ expect no mercy here; ‘Magnetodisk’ ñ is unpretentious, energized electro, providing a slightly more upbeat pause between the more serious overtones of ‘Offerings from Io’ ñ electro straight from the core of Jupiter’s volcanic moon; whilst ‘Outpost Jupiter’ and ‘Transition to Chaos’ are most definitely someplace far, far in the future, as this piece can only leave the listener possessing a sense of introspection regarding the technological evolution of our generation. A stunning variety of styles on this limited edition vinyl project for Last Known Trajectory.

‘Emergent Behaviour’ is what one might determine the calm before the storm, as we dive into the second instalment of ‘The Jupiter Cycle’, as the drifting ambience and somewhat ominous synths proceed ‘Abstract Thought’, itself a stubborn barrage of hardened electro beats, rigid stabs, crystalizing and melding into an explosive mayhem and of course, ‘The Ghost in the Machine’, if anything a more traditional styled, yet irresistible electro hit. ‘The Deep’ showcases Hadamard in a distinctly experimental mode, where all the fine details are tuned to perfection for maximum atmosphere. Finally, drifting into ‘The Collective’ and ‘Satellite Swarm’, both gliding onwards and ever deeper into pure ambience, the latter closing piece eloquently preparing the audio stratosphere for the next chapter in The Jupiter Cycle…Special limited edition pack includes the second in a series of collectable posters.
