Anyhow, the tune’s got style, the tune’s got grace, Rita.. oops, I almost started vogueing there. Twilight isn’t peeking, apparently. Oh, and you may well spot a little reference to Hades in the tune. Phew, it’s hot down there. And hot up here too, or would be if ‘they’ cared. Long live the Underworld, err, underground.

Gregi – Liquid Clouds (Insectorama137)
This 4 Track ep by Gregi is completely different from all other previous releases on insectorama. Yes, it’s definitely dubtechno, but the very best prime time peak dubtechno. The perfect sound for letting go completely and surrendering to the driving rhythm with its wonderful chords. The fog thickens completely and you only notice the flickering of the strobe. Dubtechno is so versatile and this ep proves it very clearly.
Tracklist:
1.From Creation
2.Liquid Clouds
3.Ocean Waves
4.Praying to the Sky

Essentia Sound & Ekodust – Atmospheric Rivers (Insectorama136)
Atmospheric Rivers is based on a series of record breaking rainfalls that swept through British Columbia in the fall of 2021 washing away homes, bridges and highways, causing landslides and loss of human and animal life. The weather system identified as an atmospheric river is a large, narrow stream of water vapour that travels through the sky. Usually originating in tropical ocean regions near the equator, these rivers bring masses of warm air and water from the ocean to land, sometimes dumping a month’s worth of rain or snow in a matter of days.
Tracklist:
1.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River One
2.Ekodust – Gentle Dawn
3.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Two
4.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Three
5.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Four
6.Ekodust – Gentle Dawn (Essentia Sound mix)
7.Ekodust – Alive
8.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – Still Alive

Ignition Coil – Timetravel (Insectorama135)
Ignition Coil is back on Insectorama. With his new 10 track album. 75 minutes of timeless dub techno that is so incredibly precise and to the point that it is a real pleasure to embark on this journey with him and the 7 other artists he brought into the studio for this masterpiece. Each track complements the previous one and expands the view of the love for detail and leaves you speechless.
Progressive house/trance/techno is on the playlist, mixed live on my MX-8000 for everyone’s listening pleasure. We start with “Yesterday’s Hopeful”, a dance-y house track from my EP “Yesterdayland”, followed by the happy and beautiful “A3”, before moving slightly into trance territory with a favorite of mine: the gorgeous “Plazma Kluster” by Tanto. We continue alternating between beautifule, emotive tunes and darker tracks (the “rebounds”). All tracks I love and play quite often: Sasha Muller’s “The Book Writer”, Roger M’s “Photon”, Micronoise Paranoic Sound’s incredible “Feromono”, Max Cavalerra’s amazing tracks and remixes… Until we get to Manu Bermejo’s exceptional “Monsieur”. Things get serious from there, as we enter the more techno-oriented part of the mix (expection made of Indi-K’s “d’Aubergine” maybe, which tends to the tech-house imho).
Play it loud, play it everywhere, and most importantly enjoy it as much as you like!
Mixed live on my Denon MX8000. No edits, just some mastering on the final result.
Most of these tracks (if not all) are available on the Internet Archive (wink wink), and a couple are from the wonderful Broque label (www.broque.de/ – major respect, dudes!)

Next up on the ever busy digital imprint that is known as Psychocandies is the “Acid Knarz EP”, the latest three track single by the somewhat mysterious producer named Knarz Maschine. Opening with “Acid Knarz 3” we see Knarz Maschine on a slightly psychedelic, tripped out Techno tip accompanied by weird, creepy soundscapes seeping through from the offset otherworld whereas the subsequent “Acid Knarz 2” pulls off a somewhat warped and wobbling, eerily shifting variation of Broken Techno both reminiscent of psycho horror and a hyperdark variation of early Knarz tracks brought forward by the (sub)genres inventor Thomas P. Heckmann before the final cut aptly named “Acid Knarz 1” brings on hounded, relentless and well whipping uptempo Techno for rave floors lit by strobes on maximum speed, sending punters to a new dimension with the addition of a whirling, ever spiralling PsychoAcid sequence which introduces the next level of intensity at its first appearance around mid-track and therefore turns this final one into our favorite cut out of the three featured on this single.

House Community Movement alive.
To break the other chain of infection.
Hope returns in cycles.
Surprisingly Sami Konzo did send a life sign, after three years. And we welcome it a lot and so we can present a different view into Sami his music making. This time we can feel a five track trip into deep tech house, that let’s us dream of nice festival events in the woods or at the sea. The perfect moment, when the crowds are together as one. The artwork and the tracks spread signs of hope, while not forgetting the shadows. It is very welcome to publish the tracks as our spring release. Have a good and hopeful time!
