With previous releases on French Press Lounge and Third Try Records, Caffeine Worldwide… Continue reading Caffeine Worldwide – Park FX [Human Concrete Block]

Frits Wentink – Theme 11 [WOLF Music]
The Dutch house aficionado Frits Wentink has been a busy man this year, touring three continents and releasing a couple of saucy EPs along the way. His partnership with lo-fi don DJ Boring resulted in a wonky breaks-influenced (and cheekily-named) ‘Wasted Years of Pumping Iron‘ EP, released on his own Bobby Donny imprint in May.… Continue reading Frits Wentink – Theme 11 [WOLF Music]
Andy Hart – Neutron Capture [VOYAGE RECORDINGS]
Melbourne man turned Berliner Andy Hart‘s Voyage Recordings started as a platform for cosmically-inspired dusty deep house jams. As the producer’s sound has maneuvered towards tougher, electro-inspired sounds, so has the label’s direction. The label’s new VYGR series capitulates this gradual transition, with Andy helming a 12″ holding two heavy, spacey tracks. The A-Side, “Neutron Capture” is… Continue reading Andy Hart – Neutron Capture [VOYAGE RECORDINGS]

LUZ1E – 4 5 20 18 15 9 20 [Lobster Theremin]

[soundcloud url=”https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/premiere-channel-tres-top-down” /]After a strong initial… Continue reading LUZ1E – 4 5 20 18 15 9 20 [Lobster Theremin]
