With acclaimed singles out on All Centre and TT, dozens of DJ and live gigs still resonating from the pre-pandemic era, and tracks frequently praised in shows by the likes of Rian Treanor or Beatrice Dillon, hmurd is one to watch. The rising London-based producer and co-founder of Cherche Encore oscillates from refined club-oriented tracks to beatless, code-leaning compositions, often drawing inspiration from computer games and their environments. Following the narrative of one of his latest self-released EPs 'The Grand Exchange', a collection of reworked themes from the cult MMORPG game RuneScape, he now presents a selection of songs from a soundtrack to a fictional game called 'Flower Knight'.

Houschyar - Lengua Universale (Mini-LP) by Houschyar 'Lengua Universale' is an attempt to transcribe the olfactory experience of walking down the busy, dark and narrow streets of Taksim in the night hours. A complex amalgam of dense, steamy aromas of soups and fresh mussels, of the rain on a hot summer evening, of the first logs of wood that have been thrown in the neighborhood's fireplaces. The construction of the entire EP contrasts with Houschyar's usual workflow. Instead of a a compressed expression extending over a small period of time, this selection of songs has been recorded over the span of 2 years (2018-2020). While all pieces have been imagined, composed and recorded in the studio in Houschyars living room in Tarlabasi, Istanbul, they reflect different moments and chapters, evoking situations from heated discussions on the dancefloor to lovesick daydreams on rainy Sunday afternoons. The title track 'Universal Language' is a ride through the green rainforest at night, with many different creatures appearing in the dark, an ode to the artist's love for language and culture, and a reminder that means of universal communication do exist. 'Umrumda Degil' is a love song recorded in 2019. It is about the feeling of being afraid of losing something precious, all the while running towards it.

Heisei No Oto: Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age, 1989-1996 (digital version) by Various Artists Music From Memory are excited to announce a special compilation that they’ve been working on for some time now; MFM053 – VA – Heisei No Oto – Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age (1989-1996).

OE005 : Free Range - Camry Horses by Free Range Free Range are back with their second outing for Osàre editions. ‘Camry Horses’ is a mesmerising dive into the brutal pop-tinged electronics of the duo, taking the mutant surrealism of their first release on the label a step further. Deliciously droning, Matt Weiner and Ernestas Sadau warp melancholic synth over a stomping-techno pulse in ‘Jet Lag is Calling.’ ‘Thunder God’ predicts transmogrifying weather patterns, while ‘Liquid Latex’ casts a touch of dominatrix energy, all powered by hypnotic dancefloor occultism.

Musical Keyboard System by MKS Sometimes in life, a certain incentive is needed to convert talent into productivity. As for the case of MKS, the enigmatic and musical disguise of Nicolas Aubard, it was a merely coincidental encounter at the end of the 80s that set the stone rolling. For Nico, it all began in his hometown of Saint-Quentin in Northern France. At a young age, he got obsessed with Japanese and American cartoon culture. Being a devoted collector of cartoon-related toys and widgets, he spent hours watching anime series on TV and creating scale models of science fiction and horror-related sceneries. Growing up in a musical household, young Nico took on stringent training in classical and jazz piano. But, frustrated with the fact of not being the technical virtuoso he wanted to be, he turned away from his training at the age of 16. “I had no choice, as I felt as if my creativity got limited by my piano. That’s when I got drawn into the world of synthesizers.” Not long after, Nico put together a home studio and started to experiment with ambience and sound-inserts. Despite years of experimentation and music making, all Nico’s productions stayed between the 4 walls of his modest home studio. Something that would change in 1988, when Nico bumped into Emmanuel “Manu” Prevost.

Wet Silk by Wet Silk EARLY HOUSE 808 PROGRAMMING   Wet Silk was a rare digression into house music by the legendary star-crossed duo of Lamar Thomas and Judy Taylor. For this sonic liaison, Thomas brought aboard his high school friend, disco impresario Patrick Adams to co-produce, and the resulting "Let Me Do You Baby" is a slow and seductive sunset soirée with champagne and caviar. The track is skillfully arranged with slippery 808 programming, serpentine guitar, and silky pads, all sliding around Thomas and Lamar’s playfully suggestive vocals. For the first 12” release of this hypnotic track, Mixed Signals have paired it with two other sumptuous Thom/Tay productions, the rare and dubby house mix of Shelly Pearse’s "If You Want My Love", and the instrumental end-of-the-nighter "I’ll Be Waiting".

Oz Echoes: DIY Cassettes and Archives 1980-1989 by Various Artists   Oz Echoes peels away another layer of Australia’s ‘80s DIY hive mind. The Oz Waves successor exposes a deeper circuit of micro-run cassettes, community radio archives and irrationally abandoned studio sessions, as Steele Bonus sequences a 10-track compendium of drone pop, psyche-electronics and agitated tape cut-ups.

MNQ 145 Caroline K - Mirrorball (Alessandro Adriani Remix) - Picture Disc by Caroline K Forever lost single track from Caroline K real name Caroline Kaye Walters - founder member of Nocturnal Emissions, one of the best UK experimental/industrial music groups in the 1980s. Conceived at her Brixton studio in 1983 during the same sessions of "Don't Believe It's Over, "Mirrorball" sounds heavily inspired by "Blue Monday" from New Order, unveiling an unexpected pop side from the British experimental artist, here with the help of Beverley Ireland at the voice

VA - and felt like... by Various Artists This is a story of friendship, about how it grows stronger through the years. But it’s just as much about fledgling togetherness and shared art in times of crisis. The result is an introspective document of contemporary music, in spirit of Eno and Hassell. A space where we embrace our differences and speak the language of collectivity together, where we reflect, adapt and value each artist's contribution equally. To witness a multitude of cultural backgrounds that speak one like-minded language. Soothing and illuminating. And felt like...Mastered by Amir Shoat and artwork by Keziah Phillips and Steele Bonus.

After such a strange year of acceleration/deceleration, it now feels the right time for On Danse Comme Des Fous (“Let’s Dance Like Crazies”), Gilb’r’s first solo album. It’s not his first outing, of course; he is the Versatile Records guru, the ghost from Château Flight alongside I-Cube, and a revenant of our Bright Future. All these past records are, in a way, also his. But ODCDF clearly is its own moment. Gilb'R - On Danse Comme Des Fous [VERLP42] by Gilb’R

Having previously celebrated the deep and colourful world of late ‘80s and early ‘80s Italian house via the popular Welcome To Paradise compilation series, Safe Trip has now turned its attention to the roots and formative years of trance music.

“Welcome Back! Now, that hopefully goes for the public & parties, life & love and most definitely for Klasse Wrecks’s mastermind Luca Lozano and Running Back. Bigger and better, rougher and tougher, „Boss Moves 2“ boldly starts, where the first part left us: somewhere in London’s record store Bermuda triangle between Black Market, Fat Cat and Release The Groove circa 1995.  Boss Moves 2: Welcome Back by Luca Lozano

A fantastically hairy, black-humoured ride through the hinterlands of acid-flecked techno/electro GC call home. On "Real Melbourne House" a distorted voice narrates the tale of a house DJ who only plays out in remote locations so he can steal revellers' cars while they're dancing. (Murdercapital M-011) GESLOTEN CIRKEL by Gesloten Cirkel

There's a thrilling physicality to Pool. Skee Mask's 808s run as hot as a laptop laid across your thighs; omnipresent dub delay gives the feeling of pushing through viscous liquid, actually swimming through the music. But even in its heaviest moments, what distinguishes Pool is not so much power as finesse. ITLP09 Skee Mask - Pool by Skee Mask

The second album on Ilian Tape comes again out of Munich city; Skee Mask delivers 12 tracks that range from the sound of a peaceful and energetic place. It’s smoky but cosy. ITLP02 Skee Mask - Shred by Skee Mask

Music beamed through Dimensional Waves by Abstract Thought. 3 unnamed Abstract Thoughts taken from the original project tapes from 2003, recorded around the same time as the well known full length album release. Sonic expressions that will need your own interpretation to lead to a reality-oriented conclusion. Abstract Thought by Abstract Thought
