Architectural returns to Wolfskuil Limited with four exceptional cuts on his Beautiful Life After Death 12-inch. Complex sound design and a warm and open atmosphere go hand-in-hand with the Spanish studio wizard's sonic world. From lush ambient in the title track, the addictive groove in "Piedras" to wobbly modular bass excursions in "Luminous Path" and moody textures from the abyss in "Gris". Architectural covers a lot of ground in just four tracks. Diverse and coherent at the same time, few artists have such a recognizable sound signature as the Barcelona artist.

After DJ Red's successful Raw Cacao EP (WLTD 030EP, 2016), Darko Esser's Wolfskuil Limited now present a solid four-tracker from the Dutch newcomer Circular Vector Patterns. "Be" starts with a mellow opening, gradually evolving to a more upbeat club pulse, a dynamic combination, followed on by "Dawn", a track which delivers rhythmic beats, balanced with a placid sensation. "Eclipse" reveals its mysterious morphing pads, reflecting the artist's spaced-out facet. A very promising debut from Circular Vector Patterns, who combines moody atmospheres and flawless production throughout the EP.

Since the debut of Shlømo on Wolfskuil Limited in 2015, Avadon EP (WLTD 027EP), the young DJ and producer has taken off touring the world alongside techno heavy-weights and managed to put out a slew of twelve-inches. Vanished Breath is the Frenchman's sophomore release on Darko Esser's Wolfskuil Limited series. "Vanished Breath" opens with a beautiful introduction, smooth atmospheric pads transcend before the break beat inspired percussion of "The Ritual". On the flip-side, Shlømo brings the heat with "Obsession", a proper club stomper with its resounding bass kick and climaxing hi-hats, while "M.U.M." delivers a synth-heavy travel through space a time.

Bas Amro can be quite the chameleon, having acquired a mastery of various sub-genres of electronic music. Already a veteran of Wolfskuil Limited, Bas Amro returns for his sophomore EP on the label, Imposter Persona. His sound is deep, profound, and delicately crafted, with a serious groove always residing in the underlying pulsating bass. "Imposter Persona" opens the EP with melancholic energy and a jumpy bassline before "Dissociation" unfolds gently, building slowly into quivering dub-inspired chords, while the rhythmic pads of "Defensive" radiate vampy undertones that toy with house percussion.

Paris-based Taapion Records co-owner Shlømo presents his Wolfskuil Limited debut. The complex rhythms of "Avadon (Part 1)" combine soft, atmospheric textures with heavy, pulsating bass and driving techno essentials. On "Avadon (Part 2)," similar elements translate through more erratic percussion for a cathartic spatial effervescence. Paris-based producer Antigone, also part of the Taapion family, flips "Avadon (Part 1)" upside down with his remix, making the key components more sensitive and emotional for a lasting impression.

Vinyl-only heavy hitter from Italian sound designer Edanticonf. A very personal statement from an artist known for his deep, dreamy, and -- dare we say -- trancey take on electronic music. He made his mark in the music scene through pivotal releases on Silent Season and M_REC LTD. His profile perfectly fits Wolfskuil Limited's dedication to left-of-center releases aimed at leftfield dancefloors. "1989.1" is a perfect set-builder or after-hours anthem with its lush string arrangements and offbeat groove. Its counterpart, "1989.2," is more meaty, especially in the sub domain, and could offer a brilliant peak-time moment for more experienced floors.

Wolfskuil label boss Darko Esser releases a conceptual EP, Out of Context. We all can relate to the feeling of being out of touch with our environment and the people around us. Darko translated these abstract feelings into a soundtrack in three parts ("Space," "Time," "Translation"), and the result is a soundtrack that is quite moody, hypnotic and multi-layered. It's dub and Detroit-techno, Esser style. These are melodies wrapped in abstract sound design, with both a happy and sad atmosphere.

Holland's Sandrien brings her first release on the Wolfskuil Limited label. "Haters" is a left field gem that falls neatly between techno, electronic, and house. Berghain resident and Ostgut Ton recording artist Marcel Fengler handles the rework, skipping the typical 4x4 groove and giving the bass-line and melancholic washes of strings endless space to take control. He manages to do this without losing any danceability or impact.

Pitto's deep house smash "Richklap" has been on the shelves for about four years. Just like with good wine, some tracks need time to grow and develop before they reach their peak. "Richklap" is now fully developed and best enjoyed in 2012 and beyond. "Dusty" and the Viola mix of "Richklap" are more upbeat; they're jazzed up disco and house influenced tracks. Also includes a remix by Jackmate.

This is the debut release from Nijmegen's underground house & techno collective, ESHU (Roger Gerressen, Jocelyn Abell, Ivano Tetelepta and Daan Anders), who have gained quite the following on SoundCloud for their relentless output. It's deep, it's slow, it's really dirty and it's to put your finger on. "Naturally Divine" is a 14-minute electronic monster-trip with curious, offbeat rhythms and detailed sound design. "Monrovia" is a nice contrast, standing out through its unique choice of sounds, synths and layers.

The Netherlands' Bas Amro has been DJing and making music since the age of 14 and has an extremely talented ear. The title track is a classic example of his talent. A meeting of Jimpster and Pépé Bradock with organs, a disco-esque bass line and a solid house groove. Pitto reinterprets this tune, giving the original moody vibe a dark little twist. "Sunday Rut" is a no-nonsense tech-house roller with a melodic surprise in the break.

"Langkawi" sounds as warm and exotic as the island it's named after, and "Mother's Son" is a very catchy nu disco track with vocals and guitars paving the way for a summer smash. "Séance" is the deepest one of the bunch, built around a vocal sample and percussion that sounds like it's recorded in another realm. On otherworldly ghost cloud-colored vinyl.

The title track is a deep, freaked-out techno masterpiece combining old school sounds with a new school approach. Unbelievably heavy, without losing warmth or dynamics. "Gulp" takes the title track's deepness to big-room proportions as synth patterns swirl out of control. Big breaks, big climaxes, big sound. On volcanic ash cloud-colored vinyl.

On transparent green-colored vinyl. "We are proud to present the up-and-coming Dutch producers of Loops on Wolfskuil Ltd. These young talented producers from Amersfoort are turning heads as we speak. Their debut EP on the infamous Outland Records from Amsterdam gained massive support worldwide and we expect exactly the same with their sun and fun filled EP on Wolfskuil Ltd. They are taking their music to melodical regions with this release and with the summer season ahead, filled with festival and Ibiza-styled clubbing experiences, this is a perfect soundtrack. The moody, string-based title track is making some serious damage whenever played live and BHB shows some serious jazz-influenced chord craftsmanship! Closing the ranks is the nice techhouse groover 'Benchsittin'.' Summervibes all over this EP, so all you happy campers: don't miss it."
