In an effort to blog more new releases closer to the actual date they are released, thereby giving people a greater chance of actually purchasing them; here is a track that previously appeared on the Planet Delsin sampler. Whilst that particular release has become very sought after and consequently quite hard to find at a reasonable price, this is a welcome re-pressing on vinyl for Floatation Tank. Don’t hesitate too long to decide whether to click ‘Buy’ though; as with all pressings today, one thing you can be sure of is that the runs they do at the pressing plants are very small compared to say, a decade earlier. This is a fine piece of polished techno that’s fittingly titled, I doubt it’s piped into any real floatation tanks but it’s a testament to it’s smoothness that despite the techno tempo, it probably wouldn’t sound that out of place. A release by John Harvey that is up to the consistent high standard of his other productions.

Excited by the promise of this new label so I’ve decided to disseminate a track from each of the first two releases as any label that continues to push vinyl deserves the support. The first is the ‘broken techno’ of Tropic Of Capricorn followed by the gentle harp-infused jazz-influenced South Central; I also played a couple more of the tracks on last weekend’s EstimuloShow. With a polished website that indicates that they have artists like Kirk DeGiorgio and Vince Watson on board, a promising schedule of future releases beckons. Albeit one that seems to have slipped with the next two releases (IA1.2 & IA2.2) due to have been released in August; the samples on their webpage (currently not working) sounded very encouraging.

Must be about time for another acid techno track, crank up the hifi and shake off a few cobwebs whilst being reminded of darkened semi-legal parties in unusual areas of London back in the mid-nineties. One of many tracks from the acidic partnership of Damon Wild and Tim Taylor but probably the most popular and well known. A stomping beat for the feet and 303 b-lines for the head.

If you’re not familiar with the work of Vince Watson then this is an excellent place to start. A live set that collated most of his then recent productions and remixes and as such an ideal introduction to his crisp techno ‘flava’. Just short of an hour long, it avoids getting too relentless with the beats and has plenty of lush sounds to keep you interested; hell, it would make a good workout mix if you’re that way inclined!

Timeless Detroit techno, released in 1993 but still sounds as relevant now amongst contemporary techno releases today. It’s has an enduring simplicity; the relentless techno 4/4 beat, the hypnotic phasing of the main keyboard sound, the expertly arranged percussion. The comments on the release in discogs are a testament to the influence this record has had although the A side, ‘Cosmic Dancer’ passes me by, it’s all about the B side in my book.
