After the success of its first mission, Shin’uchū is ready to launch again with Tansei and its crew of groovy space wanderers. Equipped with the latest cyberacoustic technology, the light blue spaceship is set to uncover the deepest notes of our mysterious universe. Captain Dandeloo has called upon some of the best cosmic producers to join him on this voyage into the dark zone: tempo master Vitess in charge of navigation, the effervescent Muten on maintaining power generation, and cryptanalyst Lamalice for deciphering even the most intricate of detected pulses. Whatever challenges come bouncing their way, the team will face them head on as they continue to push the limits of interstellar travel through the rhythms of the heavens.

Even if Ancient Greek isn’t part of general knowledge anymore, the word mega is. Hence, you might admire our modesty to say that Roman Flügel’s first outing on Running Back in 2022 is perfectly headed. Greta, large, mighty and somewhat the love- or brainchild of his earlier Garden Party and the previous D.I.S.C.O., Mega pulls out all the stops: hi-nrg melodies, circus bells, cowboy funk and honey hooks at 140 beats per minute. While it is nearly impossible not to take this bait or decorate it with the Bobby-O medal of honor, Roman proves one more that you can be catchy and classy at the same time.

OYSTER28 - NE - 2020Kalahari Oyster Cult welcomes another from down under, Furious Frank with his very own Trip 2 Fantasy via OYSTER28.

The journey develops to include dystopian stuttered vocals, glistening bells and pads to form a melancholic driver.Continue the mood, elastic processed rhythms roll and dip for the A2 Artificial Simulation, robotic mechanism holding hands with the heavenly, dream state timbre, fluttered and full of melodic resonance.The title track on the B2 Trip 2 Fantasy opens bold and brave, a punishing bass line and commanding claps, hot syncopation aimed for bodies moving. Thundering toms run stealthily underneath an ascending motif of delicate synthesis. “Join Me in my Dreams, My Trip to Fantasy” echoing out in seductive bliss over the driving undergrowth.The record is rounded off with an even deeper, throbbing rejig of the former from none other than Ludwig A.F. The “Floor destruction” mix isn’t coy about its intentions, risers, diced vocals and anticipation through the roof.A record ready to explode, whenever and wherever that may be.
