And in other news:

Sasha‘s current record label Last Night On Earth is getting some serious props in the game, firing on all 8 cylinders like they have been. The latest release is by a new signing, Thermalbear. His track ‘U Love’ has all the haunting synths and a nice broken house beat (watch the video) but the Sasha remix is the big winner. A thick and rich track at 126 to warm it up early. I’m sure he played this at Plush, hear for yourself…

VCMG, which is the techno project by Vince Clarke of Erasure and Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, have a new single out from their album ‘Ssss”: ‘EP3 – Aftermaths’ is a featured single this week on Beatport and hopefully, a 12″ will follow. The remix by LFO is 2 legit 2 quit but the Vince Clarke rerub is just plain euphoric.

Finally, I gotta mention one of the finest techno labels in the world today, Harthouse is on fire this month again (and has actually been around longer now than in it’s classic 90s incarnation). A driving four-track EP by Kontra called ‘Translate‘, the ever-trippy Mike S. with ‘Noah‘ and it’s top artist Boris Brejcha returns with ‘Der Mensch Wird Zur Maschine‘. You have now reached the big time. This is not your half-baked house, Jax.
