Tiger Stripes returns to Audiomatique with a funky little number. Going by the name of Glorified, this return to the dancefloor is cutting-edge tech-house and techno. "Glorified' opens with a tight, swinging groove. As we are quickly drawn into the snaking arrangement, an uplifting speech arrives from a preacher from the House of Jack. Rodriguez Junior lends his hand on the remix, drawing out the introduction and adding tension. Pushing drums lead a pitching, super-stereo chord pattern, evolving into an early morning anthem.

Audiomatique welcomes Brazilian producer Wehbba to their roster. The groovy, sample-laden beats of "3Days" are a tribute to that very special '60s festival of fun and music. Mihalis Safras engineers a crafty remix on the flip-side, strengthening the groove further with dramatic snare shots and heavy bass surges. "Balance" shimmers and shakes across the audio spectrum. Smooth, immediate and functional, its spacey beats fuse with classic Rhodes chords in a modern deep house jam.

One of the leading figures in the modern house and techno movement, Patrick Chardronnet returns to Audiomatique. "Pleasant Day" is a dark, funky and freaky tune that carries many trademarks of the Audiomatique sound. Liquid synths and acidic bass fused with modern drums are all precision-engineered to the super high-quality level you'd expect from Chardronnet. The divinely deep "Aim" takes you further with fluttering, tropical moods that soar through colorful layers of dubbed synth textures and strong, surging bass.

Dutch producer Piet van Dongen arrives back on Audiomatique with his tough, refined and urgent electronic stylings. "Vulcanic Ass" gets straight to the point with a gyrating, cyclic attitude that cannot be ignored. Bouncing bass, sharp drums and an anthemic, pitching synth theme provide a blissful yet party-assured climax! Audiofly hand in a dynamic remix that fuses live drum loops with drier moments than the original. Carefully engineered and executed, it's a modern incarnation of the duo's earlier tech-house sound.

Maetrik presents a three-track arsenal of audio mind-games with the Gliding Blind EP. "Marinda," featuring Sabb, boasts the full-spectrum clarity one can always expect from Maetrik -- a versatile track that melts deep house, techno and Chicago booty action into one smooth ride. "Kemik" chugs along with sub-sonic freakiness and more classically-rooted house references. "Glider" seals the deal with rubbery bass energy and super-funky grooves forming from a shifting, shimmering, tougher house pump.

Tigerskin aka Alex Kruger presents one for Audiomatique which supports the techier, more intense end of his eclectic love of house and techno. "Everybody Likes Ollie" whirls and skips across a liquid platinum backdrop of silky-smooth grace and wonder. Part pumping house, part disco, part future-techno, it's a mind-blowing, anthemic track. "Carlswood" comes on strong like a techno classic with off-kilter FX, building slowly as momentous synths mark its incline -- a monster of the highest order.

Maetrik heads up this Audiomatique 12'' with the stunning Underrate Dis EP. Filling up the A-side, "Relax" actually makes you do the opposite. Brooding, slow-building, and stone-cold cool, the on-going narrative and freaky vocals get inside your consciousness. "Purr Baby" is a real mind-melting slab of funk with tripped-out synth warbles, intricate grooves, and dramatic builds. Finally, "Herb House" completes the package with heavy beats, deep synths and a hook constructed of sensual vocals and rasping horns. Another prime-time excursion.

Adultnapper turns in a freaky two-tracker using a timeless electronic sound palette. "Almost Nothing" is a reduced spacer that features endless, tweaked-out studio trickery. Haunting smatterings of melody, synths and funky vocals drop in and out as this deep, acidic groover charms you from the inside-out. Patrick Chardronnet's remix also begins on a reduced, textural tip, yet builds into an organ-led climax. "White Fingers Black Hair" features a meandering groove, jacked-up with dirty hats and a playful synth theme.

Stimming presents the wonderful Buxton Pipes EP for Audiomatique. The lead track is a beautifully-reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting, filtered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design. Dainty, pretty, and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, it's a genuine slice of ultra-modern micro-post-minimal-house. "Kakusei" arrives with an array of softened percussion and carefully-extended, spooky breakdowns. "Seepferdchen" throws a spanner into otherwise smooth grooves with delicately-jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bass-line throwdowns. Simply superb work.
