After shifting clandestinely between second hand crates as a bootleg vinyl for the last 25 years, Eddie Fowlkes’ Deepcover finally gets a proper pressing and 2 remixes by one of today’s most dedicated students of electro funk, OCB (Driss Bennis). Originally released on the Magic Tracks compilation CD by Juan Atkins, featuring tracks by artists like James Stinson and Keith Tucker, the track has all the elements of early techno soul straight from the hands of its inventor. Indescribable sounds combine in unexpected ways that just fit, pushing and pulling in all the right directions.

Rubisco frontman Nick Beringer is teaming up with Sota to deliver the label’s first long-player titled Cloud Management LP. A string of lockdowns provided the perfect opportunity to spend countless hours in the studio exploring new sonic territories, resulting in an eclectic compilation that showcases a more experimental side of their musical craft whilst staying true to their signature stripped back sound.

Triangulating a slinky signal to a square mile off the Swan River, Glowing Pin bring us ‘Pentagon Palette’, a master blast of frequency adjusted house, swamp stomp and chakra charmers from Australian newcomer Jonus Eric.

Sticky Plastik’s first release combines French and UK artists to create a gritty, punchy V.A with a slight twist of electro. The A-side has 2 tracks from Marseille based Lamalice, who has released on labels such as Sentaku and Shotgun. Minimal tech-house roller blended with melodic and groovy textures. The first track on the B-Side, ‘Motivation’, is the first track to be released by Marcelina Wick, the founder of Sticky Plastik. Silverlining is on remix duties to finish off an energising, refreshing V.A.

For its sixth release, Anetha invited outstanding DJ and producer Ryan James Ford on MTY-005 'Rules are meant to be broken', a 5 rule-breaking tracks EP. But for now, the question remains: who will dare?
