Whoever is behind this wants to keep it a mystery for now - although we're assured it's not the similarly named drum & bass producer - so to the music we go: there sure is an appropriate sense of futurism in these new breakbeats from DJ Blade Runner. Opener 'Jina' is run through with far-sighted chords that bring to mind the glowing metropolis of the Ridley Scott film the producer is named after. It even feels like there is rain falling in the tune as well as subtle celestial vocals, deep driving bass and spoken word samples to add that cinematic ambiance. 'Jina (Mahsa)' is a more soulful version and then 'Nika' rides on a much more rubbery and lumpy beat with molten synth melodies and a darker energy. It's a stylish EP, no doubt.

Second release from Andrew Renew on his own label, made of 2 electro cuts.

French producer, DJ and RDV (Recit de Voyage) label owner returns to the label this April with her ‘Thoughts Of Day’ EP, accompanied by remixes from Giegling’s Koreander and Fred P. Since launching the RDV Music imprint in 2017, Molly has welcomed an array of up-and-coming talent and long-time respected figures in the contemporary house and techno scene onto the imprint, such as Dana Ruh, Cosmin TRG, Wbeeza, Aybee, Orion and many more. Here though, Molly steps into the spotlight herself with a new full-length EP for the label, the vinyl version features two originals and two remixes, while a further two originals will surface as bonus cuts on the digital release. First up on the EP is the original mix of ‘ It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’, encapsulating Molly’s signature deep aesthetic via hazy atmospherics and swirling dub textures, floating atop a bouncy sub bass groove and swinging, organic drums. Kettenkarussel member Koreander’s ‘Final Relief Remix’ of ‘It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’ follows, offering an ambient twist on the original version, taking the hypnotic elements, and reshaping them into a murky, subtly unfurling six and a half minute beatless interpretation. Next up on the flip side, Fred P reworks ‘Sweet Afternoon’, delivering a typically classy deep house cut driven by a choppy bass line, bright string stabs and crisp, bumpy drums. Molly’s ‘Mercure’ then completes the package, embracing a more groove driven feel as plucked bass notes, swelling subs, mesmerising synth flutters, and swinging drums develop in a subtly nuanced fashion throughout.
