Given the quality, depth and melodiousness of her productions, we always felt that Shanti Celeste would be capable of producing a great debut album. As "Tangerine" defiantly proves, we were right. Rooted in her dreamy but driving club sound but peppered with delicious downtempo diversions - see the Japanese-influenced new age minimalism of "Natura", the drowsy ambient bliss of "Sun Notification" and "Selected Ambient Works" style opaque fluidity of "Slow Wave" - "Tangerine" is a brilliant showcase for the Peach Discs founder's inimitable talents. There's a pleasant amount of variation amongst the killer club cuts too, with highlights including the intergalactic techno bounce of "Aqua Block", the mangled drum and bass mysticism of "Voz", the retro-futurist breakbeat garage bustle of "Want" and the dream house skip of "Sesame"

Your favourite lez-loonatics Roza & D. Tiff are back at it with the 'Tapestry Of Sound' Reloaded - revamped and ready to rock your local dancefloor. With three freaky sleek OG cuts from the dynamic duo, and a deliciously danceable remix from the progressive prince Olsvanger, you'd be a stupid boy to miss out on this one. Expect all the classique Step Ball Chain-isms & more; tongue-in-cheek techno; percussive paradise; and bass heavy bombs, with a few naughty noughties references for the 'true heads'.

Always a charm when the machine operators of our favourite labels help themselves to their own slice of the pie. Berlin banger bringer and Klasse Wrecks co-boss Mr. Ho distils the restless, genre-fluid instincts that have defined both his DJ sets and his label output, having always served a bridge between Hong Kong and European underground scenes. Here the sense is of new, buzzing frontiers: 'Tight' and 'Unfazed' move stripped and kinetic, with melodic, avian, high-register synths and playful clave taps. Psy energies come checked off on 'Maybe Not' and 'Take Flight' meanwhile, the latter closing out somewhere between goa, EBM, and acid.

Compiled by Dubby & Antal, Techno Kayo Volume One is a dancefloor-friendly selection focusing on Japanese proto-techno, electro-pop, and synthpop from the 1980s. Pressed at 45RPM. Comes with OBI and insert with liner notes. Note: This release is only available on physical format (Vinyl & CD) / no downloads will be available. In late-1970s Japan, a new and unique “genre” called techno kayo emerged, blending catchy pop melodies with the futuristic sounds of synthesizers and drum machines. Rooted in the older kayokyoku style, it was influenced by European electronic acts like Kraftwerk, but had a distinctly Japanese flair. Artists such as Yellow Magic Orchestra pioneered this retro-futuristic sound, creating music that felt both nostalgic and ahead of its time. Dubby, owner of the legendary record shop Ondas in Tokyo, was one of the first to make Japanese music available to the outside world. He has teamed up with Antal, co-founder of the Amsterdam-based, Rush Hour Records, to release the first in a series of compilations. Artwork from Johann Kauth (Stenze Quo)
