Lilith releases Le Chat Noir next month on the ever-reliable Diametral Network. The original mix is another of those warm dub techno tunes, with shades of deep house in which Diamtral seem to specialise. The synths are warm and comforting and the dubbiness has a crystaline quality. Lovely combination. There are mixes by Hakan Lido, Signal Deluxe and M Spriner. But, frankly, none of these are essential and improve on the original mix. Minimix of EP here: Blurb: One of the most interesting newcomers in deep house and techno of the [...]

More free stuff from Diametral. And back to Dub techno - the warm version rather than the colder digital version. Matthias Springer (Diametral Records owner) did the first release on his label a couple of months ago. It's not an EP that announces the label with a big bang. It's more laid back than that. Fields of Nowhere strolls around the dub techno / deep house border, occasionally wandering into ambient territory. Lovely to wriggle your toes in your slippers (plaid) and nod your head whilst you reload your meerschaum. Return of the Aciddub [...]

Whilst searching around the Diametral releases I found this free EP which I thought you might like. Not techno this time but downtempo dnb. Static Chaser is funky dnb but doesn't quite know where it's going. Solaris II is more ambient dnb, with a very spacey feel. Best track here. Falling starts dark but then resurfaces into a more jazzy place. Listen to Static Chaser and Falling . Download Solaris II . Blurb: After the big first release on Diametral Network [...]

Dub techno from Robin Jacobs & Guba on Diametral Records. Free download. Childcare responsibilities mean I need to keep this post short. A bumper pack of original and five mixes. All of the remixes groove away in a very Germanic dub techno manner. Unusually, the vinyl of this is out now. For the digital release you'll have to wait until next month. But in the meantime, the whole thing's been mixed down into a 35 min free download that works really well in its own right. Rather fine. Blurb: After Sascha Walter's [...]

Moody techno alert. And that's good thing. Listen or buy. The new EP from Fallhead is one of those too cool for school ones where there are no track names, just numbers. But that's ok. This is minimal, dark techno all the way. Put on a grimace, turn off the lights and dance like The Long March. Maoist techno anyone? Blurb: CROMOSOM is an organized structure of electronic music and people found on the dancefloor. It is a multiple piece of coiled music containing many percussive elements, different technologic sounds and unique [...]
After all the dnb, some classic techno from Matthias Springer from his forthcoming release 15 Miles To Moscow out next week. The Bendan Moeller Dub is the one to go for. It is a beautiful piece of dub techno, with a warm, relaxed and generous feel. Home listening for this one. The original is a bit more austere, a bit more acid, a bit more tech. Good but not as good as the dub. M.Springer - 15 Miles to Moscow (Brendon Moeller Dub) m.Springer - 15 Miles To Moscow [...]
