Lucy & Silent Servant - "History Survivors" EP

Producers Luca Mortellaro and Juan Mendez (aka Lucy and Silent servant) hit the studio to collaborate on the "History Survivors" EP, which released on Mote Evolver. The A-Side "Dormancy Survivors" is euphoric track with elements industrial techno, whereas the B-Side "Victors History" leans on more of  an ambient techno sound. All in all, this EP more than a fleeting techno project as the collaboration amounts to more than the sum of its parts and we're hoping there's more to come. Listen below to preview the tracks:

Preview: Petre Inspirescu - "Un Livret De Duminica" EP

In control of both his music and graphic art, Romanian artist Petre Inspirescu delivers an impressive vinyl-only debut EP entitled "Un Livret De Duminica". After a succesful series of podcasts, Petre puts on his producer hat resulting in a funky techno minimal sound that is especially succeful on the title track, that also features an interesting melodic underbelly.  The more abstract B-side with its bubbles and snaps shouldn't be overlooked either.

Stream: Scuba - Personality LP

Hotflush labelhead and dubstep/techno multi-genrelist Scuba is generous in his streamaways.  Possibly encouraged by how good this record is and confident that people will rush to buy it once they've heard it (we sure did)  Scuba has offered up a full- stream of his third LP "Personality".  A relatively optimistic and feel-good affair this LP is a necessary positive note in troubled times. Listen to it below in its entirety:

Lone - "Crystal Caverns 1991"

Lone's "Crystal Caverns 1991" constitutes another new direction in the ever-morphing sound of the R&S artist.  While recent releases and his DJ sets have been hinting at a newfound love for an old school rave anthem aesthetic and his previous LP "Emerald City Tracks" had such element peaking under the thick gauze of technicolor BoCeqsue atmospheres, this track off his upcoming LP "Galaxy Garden" (on the 5th of July on R&S) doesn't hold back on this theme in the least.  Essentially, this is an old school rave track made with modern production tools and a contemporary feel for tempo and composition.  Listen to the explosive "Crystal Caverns 1991" below:
