New Release: Waveform – 'Crossroads'

We all come to them at some point in life, sometimes more than once. We’re talking about crossroads. And Waveform has a great 4-tracker that makes for a very appropriate soundtrack for when you do reach that point…and we mean that in a good way. Deep, moody and thought-provoking, ‘Crossroads’ is one release that will definitely get you in a zone. Waveform has a great knack for creating emotive music that makes you not want to sit still, and this release is no exception. So load it up, and turn it up!

New Release: Jemset – 'Untitled EP'

The weather around here is warming up, and so will your speakers after you play this new release. French Techno maestro Jemset presents us with his ‘Untitled EP’. But these beats are so good, the release really doesn’t even need a name. ‘Invitation’ is appropriately the first track, and gets things pumped up with its pulsing groove. Then it’s time to have a seat (or not) for the ‘Galactic Dinner’. Thick and meaty, this tasty track will definitely feed your head and your feet. Jemset definitely brings his own style to the Techno table, and we’re sure you will all agree that it’s a style worth listening to. Enjoy!

New Releases from Vadz and AEOD


We’ve got a double-header today folks! Two strong releases from some real Techno powerhouses. First up we have a 4-tracker from the Russian secret weapon, Vadz. ‘Abstraction EP’ is an intense sonic journey that’s full of powerful synths and sharp percussion. Rubetz also joins in the fun with a remix of the title track. Definitely a release not to miss.

These guys always bring the force and funk, and ‘Killers Of 20′ is no exception. So feed the ones and zeros from both of these releases to your speakers at once!

'Freedom' DJ mix by Marcus Watkins

Freedom

Marcus Watkins from Random Access Recordings has put something really special for you all to help celebrate Martin Luther King Day. We proudly present to you ‘Freedom’, a DJ mix of tracks from the DoBox compilation ‘Resurgence’. Here’s what Marcus himself has to say about it…

In today’s world, freedom is taken for granted. And with so much conflict and not much
resolution, it is important that we find common ground. Music is that common ground. It is a
universal language spoken and understood by all. What is so great about our music is that it unites us as “one nation.” “One Nation” underground, that is. We come together to celebrate, dance, rejoice and express ourselves, and don’t care about what no one thinks. In my opinion, if Dr. Martin Luther King wasalive, he would need to look no further than electronic music to get a glimpse of his dream. This DJ mix is dedicated to a never forgotten hero, Dr. Martin Luther King on his birthday and to all of the freedom fighters worldwide. Keep hope alive!!!

-Marcus Watkins

Peace and power to the people!
