Die Orakel presents three spaced out excursions by Koehler.

Verscheibung by Roman Flugel arrives for the rather fine Die Orakel label overseen by LARJ's Oliver Hafenbauer. The four tracks are split between stripped-back techno and druggy, off-piste ambient (the bubbly, post-party weirdness of closer "Track 4"). The most obviously floor-friendly cut opens the EP, with Flugel layering wonky, minor key melody lines over a dense but minimalist groove. Elsewhere, check the Villalobos-ish strangeness of "Track 3", and the druggy, pitched-down experimental throb of "Track 2".

Studio Carbonell is a new label and party series from the seekers collective. For the first release Italian Filippo Bologna takes charge of the Studio Carbonell control room.

Modern atmospheric jungle music by Bristol based producer and multi-instrumentalist.

Tim ‘Nev’ Prezzano was born in June, 1969. A lifelong resident of New York, he studied Photography, Philosophy and American Art, before turning his attention to early computer language and music theory, and how it related to Human Psychology.Nev was relatively unknown until a string of mysterious releases appeared on the UK based GPR, specialising in Techno and Electronic music from the early 90’s. They were 6 track mini-LPs; musical odysseys that had shades of early IDM, techno, electro and house. Nev’s musical philosophy was to extract the soul from the machines he worked with - he didn’t believe in artificial intelligence, but ‘software touched with life’. As quoted from a review on Discogs for one of Nev’s releases, ‘no amount of digital trickery can replace an artist with some synths, a sampler and a few good ideas’.For Nev’s ‘Deep Beep’ EP, this observation is particularly accurate. Originally released in 1991 on the New York based label Metamerism, it came at a time when artists were experimenting with instruments and machines, blurring the lines between genre or style to get to the soul beneath their fingertips. The Frankenstein-esque nature of this sound can be heard across this sprawling 3 tracker, and the EP has garnered cult status online, with the few copies available reaching up to £100.Sadly, Tim is no longer with us, following his passing in June 2018 from Type 1 diabetes.For this release, we are donating the proceeds from sales to the JDRF, a charity researching and preventing the effects of Type 1 diabetes. We are grateful to give you this opportunity to enter the mysterious world of Tim ‘Nev’ Prezanno, all in good time.

We are proud to present a hidden gem producer from Los Angeles, California scene. A talent that raises his hand in a forceful way with this release. Orlando Valencia aka Volen who has brought his highly energetic, raw and intergalactic sounds to the label and for the first time releasing his music on wax. Volen explores the intersection between house, breaks, techno and electro with a real futuristic and mature sound, all the tracks are very attached to the ideology of the label, without a doubt a release that will make a lot of noise on our favorite planet called earth.
