MOS 025EP

M>O>S Recordings kick off 2019 with Better Dead Than Alien, a new EP from ASOK. The Liverpool, UK artist releases his first on the label since 2015. The title track is a twitchy and futuristic bit of house with glistening and distorted textures, "Find A Way: has a rubbery bassline and old school rave breaks, and "Many Locations" is a bumping bit of deep Detroit house with a real sense of serenity. Closer "Baal" ends in the heavens, with celestial ambiance, spinning hi-hats, and broken beats all sounding delicate yet dynamic as rasping bass ties everything together.

Stephen Lopkin now steps up to M>O>S with a 2x12" release entitled Clyde Built, recorded in his home town Thornliebank. The Scottish artist has been making prickly house and techno for almost a decade. His style is serene and slick, and across the ten tracks here he manages to conjure tracks that work in the club but that come with plenty of cerebral qualities. He never made it a secret that he takes a lot of influence from early Detroit techno, even several track titles pay direct homage to his musical heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, and also the track "New Euro Politique" is made in memory of the late UK producer Matt Cogger, aka Neuropolitique. "Welcome To Nowhere" kicks thing off with languid house grooves and jittery percussion, "Matrix 1000" is awash with swirling pads and astral grooves and "New Euro Politique" is a blizzard of kicks, panning percussion, and arpeggiated synths that glows bright. There are darker, driving cuts like "Fridays At Pure", trippy offerings like the title track and more thoughtful and pensive jams such as "Qinosen". The final three tracks are busy, electrifying pieces that fire every synapse with their sci-fi fx, crisp drums, and cinematic atmospheres. The whole album is wrapped up in majestic synth work and every track reveals more layers with each listen. Offering a sublimely complex house and techno sound, these tracks look back to go forwards and do so with a real timelessness.

The R-A-G trio, aka Dutch producers Ma Spaventi, G-String, and Aroy Dee deliver three raw acid-jams with Aroy on the couch working the mic. The lyrics of "Dreadfully Nervous" are based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. "Dreadfully Nervous (Aryd's Acid Mix)" is a gurgling brew of squelchy acid with dark vocals and pinging cowbells pulling you in all directions. "Dreadfully Stoned" is more stripped back, with a rubbery arpeggiated synth the main hook over subtle, supple drums. The bright and glistening "No Soul" has metal hits and claps and prickly acid, all bursting out of dusty Chicago drums.

Amsterdam based Italian Marco Antonio Spaventi is back with Isola Sommersa, a fine full length statement. Landing on M>O>S Recordings, it follows up after many great EPs from the label. Using hardware tools like a natural extension of his body, he cooks up rugged grooves, nostalgic moods and smoky atmospheres that cocoon the listener in a sound of its own. As well as releasing on other labels like Slow Motion, Secretsundaze, Pizzico Records and Cos_Mos, he is also an acclaimed production wizard and runs his own professional studio. Spaventi dips his toes into various waters with equal success. There are spaced out and invitingly warm grooves such as the rubbery "Tape Noodles", blissful ambient interludes like "Undisclosed" and serene synth passages filled with retro future beauty such as the closer "Titanic Moments". Cuts like "Simple Mind" prove Spaventi can conjure up genuine feelings of internal reflection as well as raw physical drum lines and "Best Regards" is a tantalizingly slow bit of cosmic house that erupts into a fluid acid track. Though Chicago and Detroit are obvious reference points, Spaventi always develops his own ideas with a refreshing vibe. Spaventi has a passion for old school house but always brings it up to date. Isola Sommersa is an album that is house at its heart, but also one that is ambitious, absorbing and widescreen in the way it is executed.

R-A-G's The Tales Of... Pt. 1 opens with "The Visitors (feat. Fat Nancy & Flappy)," with spooky deep-space synths slowly unfolding around distant vocal whispers. The heavy pads and icy ticks of the beatless, moody "The Conversation" suspend the listener in an unsettling darkness before "We Are Not Alone" totally flips the script with kinetic machine-gun lasers, coarse claps, elastic acid lines, and lots of dancefloor clout. "Medical Condition (feat. Fat Nancy & Flappy)," with its harsh claps, gurgling synths, and gloopy pads, is sure to make for some freaky, weird moments on the dancefloor in the dead of night.

Romanian DJ and producer Andrew Red Hand, who has been called "the Romanian Underground Resistance," has a long history of making Detroit-inspired techno and electro. "My Guardian Angel" features cowbells and coarse claps offset with rich, heartwarming chords and teary-eyed strings. "Never Be the Same" is a busy cut stuffed with arpeggiated bass, bright melodies, glassy chords, and plenty of reflective surfaces. "Shattered Soul" is awash with trilling glassy sounds, echoing melodies, and oodles of atmospheric texture over hurried techno drums. The somber "Mourning My Mother" features classic Chi-town percussion and drums weighted down by long-tailed pads and poignant chords.

Liverpool producer Stu Robinson aka Asok follows EPs on M>O>S Recordings (Poltergeist, MOSDEEP 018EP, 2014) and his own Scenery label with the Future Wars EP. The beautiful, melancholic "Future Wars" features its doleful pads, paddy drums, and generous sense of space. Then comes the pricklier "Final Battle," with its spinning hi-hats, daubs of acid, and lingering pads. "Interaction" is a cleaner, clearer track focused on a squelchy lead synth-line. It's nicely mechanical and perfectly offsets the swirling soft-focus pads. "Abandoned Places" is a slo-jack track with skittish, broken-sounding hits and drums, more flecks of acid, and vivid, rusted textures.

Stand, Chilean producer Massiande's first release since a 2013 EP on Housewax, explores cloudy, atmospheric house with plenty of panache and flair. "Stand" is a raw house kicker with rubbery basslines, frazzled machine-lines, and muted voices in a spaced-out and slightly acid vibe. "The Future (Is Now)" is another mid-tempo cut, this time with loud, dramatic chords and strings dominating a Chicago-referencing bottom end. "That Feeling" features rolling bass, icy hi-hats, and subtle Larry Heard-style melodies. The far-gazing pads and airy percussion of "Get House" accompany the sorts of drums that make you want to shake your limbs.

No one knows yet who Gerstaffelen is, but with this release the producer becomes a regular on the M>O>S Deep label and is now back with four more of the rawest cuts you could imagine. "Bombara" is a frazzled and gauzy deep techno cut with muffled voices, beams of melodic light and lots of percussive hustle. "Invisible Ghosts" is an equally monstrous track with dark, groaning bass, prickly hi-hat patterns and frenzied synth lines. "Night Flowing North" features celestial and heartfelt melodies darting about between ping-ponging drums and percussive hits before "Night Flowing South" comes over like a classic jack track from Chicago.

M>O>S Recordings is proud to present its next album project, namely a debut solo full-length from Chicago's Ike Release. Ike is an accomplished solo producer as well as being one-half of acclaimed duo Innerspace Halflife with Hakim Murphy, and has a long and fruitful relationship with M>O>S Recordings. For the last five years or so, Ike has been releasing a mind-expanding brand of analog-rich music that continues in his native Chicago's fine traditions without resting on the usual tired tropes. Labels like M>O>S, Machining Dreams and his own Episodes have released it to date and now this full-length, Noir, comes as a fully-formed artistic statement that lays out his sound in all its glory. Across ten tracks, Ike unleashes his array of machines (Microkorgs, a machinedrum, MPCs, iPad Apps, cracked soft synths, borrowed Nord Leads, field recordings) and explores deep, textural house, ramshackle percussive grooves, the darkest corners of the galaxy, and lots more besides. Opener "Lost Cities" is an underwater rhythm with gloopy synths and stiff drum hits that eases you into the ride. From there, there's the raw, deep jack of "Precipiate" with its soft acid line, the disheveled house of "Vapor" and the gluey synth layers and dreamy pads of "Solace." "Faded" is a more subliminal and ambient interlude but then the second half of the album kicks again with the celestial soundscapes of the title-track, which manges to sound both heavenly and yet aggressive at the same time. Always managing to coax maximum feeling and atmosphere out of his tools, Noir is a true journey into the deep that will leave you feeling somewhere altogether different.

After more than a decade of releasing raw and emotional house music, Dutch producer and architect Aroy Dee drops his debut album on his own M>O>S label. Limited edition of 300 with a sketch book. Sketches has been made for home-listening, thereby resisting the ever-changing trends of the dancefloor. The album sets a continuous mood that slowly intensifies, evolves and unfolds, taking you through new sounds and scenes in coherent and considered ways. Opening with the blissful ambiance of "Night Sky," it slowly roams through stretched-out, atmospheric deep house on "Pure," lazy electro on "Decay" and sombre future city 'scapes on "Descent." "City of Others" begins to jack and whip around more energetically but retains a serene sense of soul thanks to the smooth and seductive synths. The second half of the album picks up the pace a little, with icy hi-hats, prickly bass lines and careful percussive cacophonies jamming around the ever-present synth patterns Dee so expertly paints. A self-contained work that combines that distinct Aroy Dee sound we know and love with the proper narrative arc any good album requires, Sketches has been a long time coming but proves most certainly worth the wait.

Stu Robinson aka ASOK is the man behind house and techno label Scenery Records. Opening up his Poltergeist EP is "Project Poltergeist," a fizzing brew of incessant hi-hats and prominent acid lines that duck and dive between nicely roughshod claps. "Smash Dimensions" places lots of focus on a lively acid wiggle, but this time dealing in a more serene sense of mood that loosely chucks open and closed hi-hats into a grainy arrangement that gently jacks throughout. "Walker" takes us on a cerebral voyage through melodic droplets and "Captain Blood" pairs a dirty, gnarly bass line with crisp cowbell tinkles and more nicely frayed percussion.

The Baiyun Mountain EP is John Heckle's debut appearance on M>O>S Recordings. Heckle has more than established himself as a lone sonic explorer thanks to releases on labels like Mathematics and Creme Organization. Across these three tracks, he lays out his dense and textured vision of house music once more. "Cactus Jack" is a writhing thing with coarse snares, wild acid gurgles and plenty of paranoid synth lines. "Birds with Vertigo" is another gauzy affair where every bit of sound is filled with fuzz, analog rawness or splintered percussion. "Baiyun Mountain" features springy metallic synths, ticking percussion and a supple bass line all wrapping around each other.

Boris Bunnik is back, this time as Vernon Felicity, with a 4-track EP for M>O>S Recordings. "Dawning" is slow and purposeful, with acid pricks and twitches peppering a churning groove. "Breaking Silence" is more kinetic, with claps, hits and squiggly melodies as pronounced bass lines strike a melancholic note. "Wrong Notion" boasts eco-systems of analog lines and acid belches, all weaving their way around each other. Finally, "3" explores wide-open cosmic synth spaces with lingering pads, mournful Blade Runner-style synths, and gently churning rhythms.

"Return to Seriphos" is another dense soundscape, but one with classy Chicago vibes. "Stranger Shores" is more reflective with bright melodic chords and warbling, swollen subs.

M>O>S Recordings presents an EP from Italians Ksoul and Muteoscillator. "Criminology" comes in two parts on the A-side: the first is a fizzing, almost impenetrable network of analog lines with acid buried deep below sharp percussion and the second version is brighter with twists and turns. "Aphrology" comes in an Aroy Dee version which squeals through a world of ticking machines, squirming synths, and jangling percussive rhythms. The original version features tumbling drums, bleeding acid and a steppers rhythm.

Hakim Murphy and Ike Release are two Chicago house addicts who produce solo and as a duo under the name Innerspace Halflife. Here, they turn up on one of Europe's finest deep house labels. "Wind" is a main room house banger with icy hi-hats dangling above a forceful acid bass line. Ike Release goes solo with "Phazzled," a much more laid-back deep house jaunt with long-legged, rubbery kicks and all sorts of busy sci-fi FX filling in the gaps.

Not long after his debut full-length, Michigan resident D'Marc Cantu serves up his next album on M>O>S Recordings. Though essentially a house and techno producer, Cantu often goes further than most, calling on a world of influences to ensure his jacking productions are as far away from standard as possible, yet still do damage on the right dancefloors as have previous EPs on this label, Nation and Crème Organization. A New World aims to capture, detail and relay many different stories from within the re-born city of Detroit. Across the course of eight tracks, many different moods and styles are explored -- from dark and abstract to more synth-led and serene. There are plenty of squelchy acid lines and frantic percussive workouts, but there are also pockets of slower, deeper, dubbier introspection that speak of mystery and intrigue as does the city of Detroit itself. Says D'Marc of the album, "Detroit, MI has a rich history and is filled with amazing people and I wanted to capture what I feel every time I go there. With every song there's an evolution that leads you to a new yet familiar place. These songs all have a story and each revolves around the concept of growth, community and rebuilding. 'Spirit Form,' 'The First Planet' and 'Genetic Script' all drive the idea of rebirth, utilizing dreamy pads and primal rhythms as they dig at the soul, while 'Good''s levity reaches at the heart of what I love about living in Ann Arbor, Michigan." Despite all these conceptual ideals, the album will not disappoint existing fans, as so, too, does the album deal in the sort of thing that people have come to expect of this considered producer. Tracks like "Green Bike Seat" and "Mobile Communication" aim to encapsulate the honesty and decaying beauty of urban life. A true journey of investigation, realization and re-discovery, A New World is far more than just another house album, but instead demands and rewards the close attention of anyone listening.

Aroy Dee and San Proper crafted a beautiful four-track EP entitled Perfume. It kicks off with the swirling pads and soft shakers of the title track, which immediately sink you into some deep space atmosphere. The "reprise" version is even more hollowed-out, with less beats, greater echo and a sense of looming melancholia. Proper's Groove mix of "Usher" is a mobile wedge of deep house. Aroy steps up to provide his melancholy mix of "Usher," which hangs its head more than the Proper version.
