The collective mind of SIKU returns with its fourth outing of club-igniting material.

Loud Enough is back with the second instalment off our 3-EP series dedicated to the Roman Pigna Records, the dancefloor-oriented sister label of Nature Records. Each EP features classic tracks alongside exciting new compositions from key artists of the label."Funk Series Part 3" comes courtesy of Raiders of the lost Arp aka Mario Pierro.Originally recorded in Pigna studios, Rome, Italy, sometime between 2004-2008. Remixed and retouched in Hospitalet studio, Uppsala, Sweden, 2023.

OCP keeps expanding its repertoire by slowing things down a notch for the new QCP label. Soundscapes resembling zips are intertwined with abstract beats and microsamples. Alongside the ever soldering Ramone the studio was transformed into a lab for experimenting with dub techniques. Dim the lights, kick back and zone out.

Four killer tracks of high grade electronic soul from James Baker AKA REKAB. A fantastic EP showing both breadth of style and respect for the roots and traditions of the music from this artist.The first, Locked on Dodge, is a driving deep Detroit techno track with a hypnotic arpeggiated lead and filtered atmospherics to lose yourself inside. Don’t get too comfortable though, it’s capped with a surprise electro switch in the breakdown to keep the floor on their toes!The second track, We Need to Care, delivers a cool clear synth sound design over Chicago influenced house tempo beats and lush pads. Simultaneously groovy and comforting, this is a track for those special moments. Jacking with your eyes closed and a big grin on your face.Third we have a clear tribute to Drexciya with In Search of the Deep Sea Dweller. Tough 808 beats and laser zaps punch through a bed of evocative strings whilst a filtered single note loop rises and falls like the tide. An abstract robotic voice presides over the track, adding atmosphere whilst giving it a sense of mysterious machine driven intelligence.Lastly, Too Much Time gets its space boogie on. Electro funk beats jump round staccato synth chords and a simple but effective Moog-like bass line. Once the scene is set, a writhing 303 joins the proceedings accompanied soaring pads and beautiful melodic leads that make you feel like you’re being lifted into the cosmos.

After the EP by Franco Falsini, Baffling Noise (seekers sublabel) is coming back with another 4 tracks EP this time by Italian Producer Deyayu
