Tom Carruthers
Flashback EP

Dufi introduces Nurture; a mischievous canvas for the heady sounds of its founder and beyond. Natural Selection is the label’s inaugural release, as the Galway born label head weaves together a potent mix of exploratory danceatronics.Natural Selection is a pulsing house lifter that pivots on its bumping bassline and swirling synths in pure dancefloor salvation. Deactivation circumvents an eerie admission, rolling out amongst the floating 303 clouds and zooted hedonism of its satisfying looped-up getaway.Terminus (End Mix) rolls its breaks tongue with faint percussive clarity, massaging a brooding low end into percolating M1s and gurgling acid flecks. Prewire is our closer, a patient builder that exquisitely tunes its drums and bass to progressive perfection before those Detroit-addled pads hit for pure lift-off.

Bonafide boingtastic. Release your release.

Cupula Recordings remains a guiding light in the realm of groundbreaking electronic music, consistently pushing the boundaries and supporting artists who dare to innovate.“Terror Nocturno" is a four-track masterpiece that showcases Elias Sternin's mastery of sonic storytelling. Each track unfolds like a chapter, taking listeners on a mesmerizing journey through intricate melodies, pulsating beats, and tragic atmospheres. From the mind-bending rhythms of "Bajón Químico" to the ethereal vampirism of "Trueno," this EP is a testament to Sternin's ability to push the boundaries of electronic music.

Azaad steps out with his own new label, Born 2 Be Free, for the first time here and says that the plan for it is to 'break out of the mold.' The man himself takes care of the first EP and shows the world what he is all about with a fine homage to early garage sounds but with a hint of London grit. 'Dubba Ding' is a nice chord-laced pumper with shuffling beats, 'Feel The Rhythm' is more raw and stripped back with loopy, chopped-up vocals and 'Get Da Runaround' brings warm pad swirls and some soulful vocals to a nice deep garage vibe. Three very useful tracks indeed and a great first EP from this new label.

Sushitech is back with another of its sublime vinyl-only projects and this one focuses on the work of Dexter. There will be three 12"s in all that draw together some of the producer's finest moments. He is a truly cult figure amongst those who know and he served up a fresh take on tech, acid, dub and house between 1997 and 2004 when these tracks were first made - if you can find any of those original records prepare to pay loads for them, or else dive into Past Moves I. It has a brace of slick, tightly programmed cuts underpinned by rolling pads with lovely lo-fi pads up top. Heady stuff.

2022 Repress! Pleased to present a selection of tracks from their formative years, mainly encompassing the club ready, dancefloor centred part of their discography. This reissue LP includes a mixture of sought after bangers, as well as some lesser known tracks which people may not have heard.
