Sonic Router has launched a record label “after receiving the sort of demo that makes you want to start a record label”, and here we have a taster of the label’s first release. SRR001 is a 6-track EP from 18 year old Dutch beat-maker Torus – fans of Shlohmo, Shigeto, Lapalux etc are sure to dig this collection of spaced out, “hazy, crackly hangover music’.
The Torus EP will be released in March on limited edition cassette tape, as well as a digital release with Dynoo and Slugabed on remix duties. If you like what you hear, make sure you catch the kid’s UK debut in Brighton where he’s supporting Shlohmo and Salva on their European tour (details here).
Thought of by many as a lost grime classic ‘Mind The Gap’ was originally supposed to come out on the mighty A.R.M.Y imprint back in the day but fate consigned it to a dusty archive, until now that is that the fab Senseless label have stepped up and given it a full proper release featuring a leviathan array of remixes from the likes of Spooky, Sarantis and more! Check out the mini mix below and buy yourself a copy come February 20th.
This Thursday Short Back & Sides returns to The Nest in Dalston for its first night of the New Year. Aswell as one of our DJs, Richard Aki, there is a varied line up including DJ’s from blog BNTL, Livin’ Proof’s DJ Khalil, and also SBAS residents; bringing you everything from house, funky and garage to hip hop, grime and dubstep.

Dope upfront 808 bizness from Mike G. This is due out next week on the insanely prolific and always on point Car Crash Set label. ‘Throw Back‘ is the one!
A date has finally been confirmed for the next Boddika & Joy O release. ‘Froth/Mercy’ is set to be the first issue of the collaborative series on the pair’s new label ‘Sunklowun,’ and will be available on vinyl from February 21 (preorder here). If the two mixes of ‘Swims’ on Swamp81, and these two tracks are anything to go by, 2012 will see Sunklowun continue to release some of the UK’s best deep yet heavy-hitting techno. Stream the two tracks below.
The ever-impeccable Magic Wire imprint returns with another great release from Neon Jung. The original is a kaleidoscopic slice of rave-kissed bumpin’ brilliance, while on the flip the label tap up Nathan Fake for a remix who turns in a dope otherworldly take on the original laying out the loose 2-step rhythm in a dense fog of hazy synths. Pick it up on vinyl and digital from 20th Feb.

Here we have a forthcoming release by Italian DJ and producer Simoncino AKA Nick Anthony Simoncino on one of Athens’ primary electronic imprints, Echovolt Records. Having released for labels such as Mathematics out of Chicago and the UK’s Quintessentials, Simoncino delivers a dazzling EP set to become the 5th release on the ancient city’s impressive Echovolt imprint. ‘Chicago’ and ‘Ocean’ are dreamy neo-Chicago House workouts, which have become typical of the label’s aesthetic, but it’s the flip that provides the EP’s standout moments in the dual incarnations of ‘WereHouse’, both the original and the excellent Legowelt interpretation. Legowelt’s take on the track in particular transforms the soothing original into a moody, bass-heavy yet still soulful six minute session. Get some!

Murder In The Streets by aldothefox_
Murder in the streets
They heard you calling
The deepest shade of orange
Lifted your face
Welcome the heavens
The night comes as slow as your own perception
There is no race to the end because everything ends
Your move creep
Creep slow, falling low
Slain by the eternal weapon
Sometimes I feel like it’s just us, you and I, me and you
Together as one
Against a giant LED screen projecting your apparition
You will always remain eternal, forever you
Deep within lies the answer to your existence
What would we do if we only knew
Would we destroy ourselves, others
Would we make love with everything and everyone
Could we enjoy every single second
Should we slow down life to a single waking moment
Would we embrace the dark sky above
So massive that nothing escapes
Would we march to our own theme
Stop, don’t think
Cherish your last breath
This is it
Forgotten by history
Your name was never written in the wind
Is that breeze real?
After all, we’re merely projections of the minds eye
A pixelated haze of questions with no answers
An end with no beginning
Are you the creator? The devastating creator?
Murder in the streets
