Venturing yourself from the A(i)den garden to the depth of the Cosmic (g)round. Passing through the portable r(h)ythm machine and looking for the sonic Han(n)d of the trance goddess, you have no choice but to trust your natural instinc(t)s or fall into the infinite dream(s) oblivion losing all chances to find the missing letters of your spiritual crossword.The delicious Hannd & Cosmic G partnership is starting the maxi 39PACK series with four tech-to-trance mixed cuts, including an Aiden Francis sexy and thic(k)y reshape of the EP’s eponymous track

The 90’s San Francisco underground electronic scene always commanded a great deal of love and respect here at OCD. It played an important role not only in the development of the global electronic music scene, but also in our personal, never-ending journey of discovery. Back in 1996, between the early releases of one of the SF’s scene most important and pioneering record labels, Sunburn Records, an EP titled “Plum Pudding EP” by an artist called “Trailmix” appeared. It featured 4 tracks spanning between early hours progressive-house and more gentle, mellow breaks with a hint of electronica. For many years it has been one of our most favourite record from that scene and era.27 years later, we’re beyond stoked to have being able to successfully track down that gentleman by the name of Alan Aronoff (Trailmix) who, with no hesitation, allowed us to reissue that special EP on The Secret Sun.

John Dimas brings his SYNQ imprint back into focus with the next installment of some top shelf VA action. Spotlighting DJ GUS, Lis Sarroca, Voodoos & Taboos and Cosmic JD it's a welcome return to the fold.

Los Primos joins Lapse Records with their debut EP - “Under Stompin’”. The novel project consists of Toronto’s Cosmic JD and Aaron Santos, members of the Hypnotic Mindscapes label and party collective.Created in an extended after-hour production session at the mythical Payphone studios on Queen Street West, the duo present a 4 track collection of emotionally stripped mood stretching club tracks, encapsulating raw harmonics and modular electronics.Acid infused analogue tech-house opens the A side with playful positivity in “What We’re On”, followed by a darker minimalist exploration in “Primitive Holiday '', a collaboration with Japanese artist and fellow local, Masayuki Tomita, tensioned by hypnotic arpeggios and creeping minor pads, setting the tone for a spooky flip.B1 “Vicky’s Out 4 Blud”, centres raw retro techno energy sampling 90’s vocal chops from Nic Cage’s “Vampire Kiss”, before the vocoder-led electro twist of B2 “The TS Chronicles” closes the transmission resonating Darwinian ideas in the manner of “Natural selections acts by competition”.
