Playing with Kris always reminds me of doing expeditions in a lake. Some kind of under water sound fiction observing sonic creatures. This album is a live recording (28-01-2012, Kunstencentrum Belgie, Hasselt, Belgium) which to me always felt like one of the best concerts we did. As with our previous album 'Arrêt au Lac Chimère' Vincent de Roguin put his heart in editing and mixing the recordings, extending the dimensions of exploration to the deep bottom of the lake.

Sasu Ripatti presents the third volume in his "Dancefloor Classics" series with five 10" releases coming throughout 2023. Music for imaginary dancefloors, released on Ripatti's own label "Rajaton". ”Look up, into the light” she said, while the camera shutter clicked. ”Like this? Does it look holy?” His neck felt stiff. Her reply: ”Yes, just like that. What do you mean holy? Like religious? ”No, more like trying to look very far, somewhere beyond what we can see.” ”Okay, stand still, I’m going to come close to you now. The light hits your face great.” *click, click, click. He noticed her fingernails. They were not polished. Natural. Even somewhat rugged, as if something wore out the fingers slightly. What had these hands held besides the camera? What made the edges of her fingernails drift off? He thought it’s weird to look straight into the camera. The photographer had closed her left eye, the one not looking into the lens. Then it opened, she looked up, perusing the surroundings, then she closed her eye again, then looked up, closed, looking up, very quickly. It all seemed very professional. Maybe she calculated the light, making sure it’s close to perfect. ”What will these photos look like?” – the thought popped into his head briefly. It was liberating to think it wouldn’t matter. ”What’s that song playing?” he asked. ”Wait a sec, Ol’ Dirty Bastard?” she replied. ”Oh yeah, right. But the sample?” ”Hey, could you look up again, like that. No, lower.” New directions: ”Look out from the window, turn left.” ”My left or yours?” ”Yours, I always try to think from the direction of my model.” How professional! This is a good shoot, so natural. Should I worry about how the photos look like? No, I don’t want to. His thoughts bounced around. What would the story be like? It’s a big newspaper, everyone will read it. Maybe someone drinks coffee and eats a stroopwafel while they do it. Will they place the waffle on top of the mug for a brief while, so that it gets hot and the syrup melts a little? Then it feels wet, and you can bend the cookie. She broke his train of thought off midway through: ”Now turn right, but look left, and slightly up, but don’t turn your face right.” ”Umm, like this? Sounds like a set of pilates instructions.” [she laughed] ”You do pilates?” ”Yeah, it’s hard sometimes. Have you tried?” ”No”, she said. ”I’m not good for sports that are done in groups.” ”Yeah, but in pilates you can just be inside your mind, drowning in your private thoughts.” ”What are you thinking in pilates?” she asked, taking more photos. ”Well, mostly just which way is right. And which left.”

MGUN carries the flame for Motor City techno soul in a class 3rd album, launched on his and Ryan Spencer’s newly minted label, Hold Me Recordings - tipped if yr into 2Lanes, Suburban Knight, Carl Craig, Rob Hood, Ultradyne. Since debuting on TTT with ‘The Near Future’ and its enduring electro ace ‘The Race’ in 2012, Manuel Gonzales has a fine line of deeply rugged machine music for the likes of Kyle Hall’s Wild Oats and Semtek’s DBA. ‘From Time to Time’ checks in as his 3rd album with 8 eyes-down sluggers that set the parameters for Hold Me Recordings, which aims to provide a vent for new Detroit dance music. Anyone who has followed MGUN’s work thus far will not be disappointed at its breadth of variation within a theme, revving from heavyweight 313 warehouse techno to Ultradyne-esque electro and bezonked abstraction that could really only come from those quarters. He captures that tongue-tip thizz of the best Detroit techno in the atmospheric drive of ‘Mid Sentence’, and steps up a gear with the thrumming pulse and mottled dub chords of ‘Favours’. The squashed gunk and hazed pads of ’Slither’ hail one of its super deep cuts beside ‘Xenil’, which sounds like a loved-up echo of Ultradyne’s raw as fuck improv styles, and the DJ Dez-like beatdown of ‘Pimps Up’, while the wiry shock of ‘Timber’ hails Hood-style minimal tactics, and ‘Hold That Thought’ rubs the sound to an abstract nub like Ross154’s impressionistic slant on classic Detroit fundamentals.

In this latest installment Dragatto taps into a much darker mood, a space that can only be described as noir. "Shadows" is the theme one hears while walking through the streets late at night as their mind projects images and figures on the pavement below. Are they really there? An ominous vibraphone melody introduces the track only to give way to a neck breaking drum fill, pushing the listener into a startled state of awareness. From here on the senses are treated to dreamy harp lines, Axelrod-esque guitar and bass, and sweeping horn passages.
