From Far Out Recordings’ in-house producer, Daniel Maunick’s debut solo album Macumba Quebrada conjures scenes of collective hedonism from start to finish. Spanning Afro-Brazilian spiritual dance ceremonies, late-eighties Detroit techno parties and jungle and broken beat raves in nineties London, Maunick celebrates our instinctive, age-old desire to come together and lose our sense of self.

"Somewhere" is the new album by the Russian-based electronic artist Andrey Korotkov (Melodic Mode).

Deep cavernous sounds from Copenhagen. "Specular" is the new album by the Danish based-artist Zoran Todorovic (Xoki).

Robag Wruhme is a producer who likes to take his time over his LPs - Venq Tolep comes a full eight years after his previous album Thora Vukk (also out through Pampa). When you listen to this thing the care that Wruhme has put into his craft is most evident. The cornerstone of Venq Tolep is a pretty, minimal tech-house style similar to DJ Koze, and the tracks in this mode (‘Venq Tolep’, ‘Komalh’) contain carefully-crafted synth tones and crisp drum programming. Ambient music and contemporary classical composition are also in play on Venq Tolep, styles which only add to the record’s sweet vibe.

Jeff Mills really loves the Moon, and once again here he returns to the subject in order to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Moon landing. Moon - The Area Of Influence is quality Mills material in that style we know and love, worthy of delivering on the grand cosmic dreams of the Moon concept. Shifting between spaced-out synth endeavors and cosmic techno workouts, this is one of the legendary Techno missionary's finest and most focused LP's.

Floating Seeds Remixed is a remix album by British band Ozric Tentacles. It was released in 1999 on Snapper Music. The album includes a variety of mixes, including Eat Static and System 7.

Love Sensuality Devotion: The Remix Collection is a 2001 remix album of remixed songs made by Enigma. All of the remixes on the album were taken from previously released singles. LSD: Love, Sensuality and Devotion gathers over a decade's worth of Enigma's definitive tracks, including the song that started it all, "Sadeness, Pt. 1." "Return to Innocence," "Beyond the Invisible," and "Cross of Changes" are all featured as well, and though the collection ranges from the rock-tinged "I'll Love You…I'll Kill You" to atmospheric, electronic fare like "Shadows in Silence," since it's all essentially Michael Crétu's vision, it flows surprisingly well. Since Enigma's sound has varied fairly drastically over the years, LSD: Love, Sensuality and Devotion is the perfect starting point for anyone curious about Crétu's music, and the only Enigma album that casual fans might need.

The back liner photo gives the impression of a grungy Midwestern garage band, but no, that doesn't describe this sophisticated jazz-rock quartet, which was simultaneously breaking into mass-market acceptance and away from the contemplative ECM stereotype. The arrangements are more structured, the playing often more intense and searching, with a more pronounced rock influence.
