The project started in 2005 as a DJ and visual collective, when British and American expats Matt and Brian started organizing club events in Osaka and Tokyo with a local resident DJ Am Rhein. Five years later, Diskotopia founders decided to expand their activities and established a record label. A Taut Line shares an art-direction responsibility at the label with a fellow design studio Neithercorp.

A Taut Line - Luna 99 (BD1982 Remix) (5:09) 24Bit We are very proud to announce that our first release on the new Diskotopia label will be Unwoken, an EP by A Taut Line & Hong Kong In the 60s, featuring remixes by Dominatrix, Royalty, BD1982, LDFD and more. Unwoken is the first solo release by the Tokyo-based/Cambridge-bred producer and DJ Matt Lyne, aka A Taut Line. The EP follows remixes for the likes of Darling Farah, Luke Abbott, Drums Of Death and Starlings, and releases on Japanese labels such as Klee, Kidz Rec and Horizon. Matt has been living in Japan for over 5 years, and his music is infused with a sense of dislocation and slight melancholy familiar to anyone who has been away from their native country for a long time. However, he has also kept up to date with developments in international dance music through running the Diskotopia club nights - and DJing alongside people like James Murphy, M.I.A, Hudson Mohawke, Mary Anne Hobbs, Optimo, Ivan Smagghe, Goth-Trad and many more– and this has also fed into his production. Matt’s influences stretch from cutting-edge bass music to classic house and disco, taking in the ‘80s film soundtracks he grew up with, and the mesmeric tuned percussion he picked up from his classical training, studying composers such as Steve Reich, on top of his long-term love for Chicago post-rock artists such as Tortoise. Unwoken features an exclusive new collaboration with the band Hong Kong In The 60s, who formed in London in 2007, and since then have released two acclaimed EPs of bittersweet radiophonic pop, and have featured on numerous international compilations. In 2010, the band’s collaboration with The Advisory Circle formed part of the Ghost Box label’s Study Series, slotting in alongside contributions by Broadcast, Mordant Music, Belbury Poly and Moon Wiring Club. Hong Kong In The 60s‘ collaboration with A Taut Line takes their signature dream-like sound on to the dance-floor, without sacrificing any of the intoxicating atmospherics that the band specialises in. Don’t Wake Me filters the band’s plaintive electro-lullaby through the phantasmic narco-disco of the Italians Do It Better label and the unearthly dubscapes of Lee “Scratch” Perry and Augustus Pablo. To this mix, A Taut Line adds his own freewheeling percussive attack and a dash of The Aztec Mystic’s hypnotic Detroit sound. The second track Unwoken, co-written by Chris Greenberg from Hong Kong In The 60s, takes the classic house sound of Mr. Fingers and Fallout into a sub-aquatic realm of hypnagogic delirium. She Swims immerses the ‘90s Gallic disco-house of Cassius and Étienne de Crécy’s Super Discount in waves of trance-inducing cosmic synth and zero-gravity euphoria. The early 90s house homage Luna 99’s combination of roof-raising tribal percussion and haunting minimalist atmosphere betrays the influence of such artists as The Ethics, The Goodmen, Nightcrawlers, The Bucketheads, and too many childhood nights spent falling asleep to Pete Tong’s Essential Selection. An all-star cast of remixers has been assembled for the Unwoken EP, headed by the legendary electro and post-punk pioneer Stuart Argabright in his Dominatrix guise. Further reworkings come from: nu-skool electro/boogie combo Royalty aka Chesca & Elliot Yorke (of UK hip-hop leading lights Foreign Beggars), whose track Twilight Fades was a standout moment on Dâm-Funk‘s Future Of Modern Funk mix for Mary Anne Hobbs last year; A Taut Line’s fellow Tokyo-based expat BD1982, whose uniquely skewed and squelchy take on modern bass ‘n’ beats has taken in numerous releases on Philly kingpins Starkey and Dev 79’s Seclusiasis label; and 19-year old Dallas producer LDFD, whose impressive jazz-schooled production chops surely promise a big future for him in the world of wonky beats and bass. foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 39:55 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: digital booklet Tracklist: 01.

BD1982 - Utukku (A Taut Line Remix) (4:04) 24Bit VHS Nite is American producer and DJ BD1982’s first release on the new Diskotopia label. This EP follows on from his album, Let’s Talk Math, and its accompanying EP, Trails, both released in 2010 on the Seclusiasis label run by Starkey and Dev79. Now based in Yokohama, Japan, BD1982, aka Brian Durr, has previously lived in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Queens and Kyoto. His sound draws on a constantly evolving palette of influences, ranging from Jamaican dancehall and UK grime on to 12-bit hip hop productions and Italo-horror soundtracks. As its name suggests, VHS Nite is partly inspired by fuzzy memories of late nights camped in front of the video player. The EP’s title track, in both its original and “rewound” versions, allies the warm glow of childhood sci-fi and zombie movie nostalgia to a razor-sharp beat and bass attack, conjuring an aura of future/past transcendence, animated with BD1982’s signature stark rhythms. The EP is rounded out with two more original tracks: Utukku, centered around a mutant classic-house bass reminiscent of Adonis’ No Way Back, ebbs and flows with teasing beat-cuts and micro-synth flourishes; Amazon River Run combines a chopped up mix of Afro-centric and Roland drum machine-esque percussion with what sounds like an improbable 12-bit rendition of a Turkish street musician playing a traditional Celtic melody. Both of these tunes dig deeper into BD1982’s longstanding fascination with UK bass music, filtering the sounds of London and Bristol through a skewed videogame-damaged mindset, whilst juxtaposing surreal sound-clashes to synthesise a unique and intoxicating tropical dream-state. As well as BD1982’s fellow Japan-based expat A Taut Line (with whom he co-runs the Diskotopia label) and Starkey, the remixes on this EP come from: Numbers recording artist, founder of the popular Grimetapes.com site and “Eski House” pioneer Slackk; the critically acclaimed electro-futurist producers Ikonika and Optimum, whose collective releases on Hyperdub, Planet Mu, Night Slugs, and their own Hum + Buzz imprint have secured their status as amongst the most forward-thinking and consistently impressive artists working in the current dubstep-emergent bass music scene. released March 28, 2011

Visionist - Rock The Flock (Lamin Fofana Disingenuous Mix) (3:14) The long awaited third release on the Diskotopia label will come out at the start of July, Visionist’s Rock The Flock Diskotopia is proud to present the Rock The Flock single from Visionist, aka Louis Carnell, aka Mr. 67, a 21-year old producer from South London who’s been turning heads with his unique take on the current UK bass music scene. Originally starting off as a grime MC, Visionist branched off into production to further develop his own sound. After some time producing varied strains of UK-centered underground music, Visionist has arrived at a blend of 808-centric minimalism and funky propelled energy that’s weighted together with the sub bass aesthetic of UK soundsystem culture, perfectly embodied in both Rock The Flock and Survive. Visionist starts things off with Rock The Flock, a club-ready call-to-arms sounding as if King Jammy’s digi-dancehall productions were transported to the year 3012 via being edited in time-space by Egyptian Lover, Ganja Kru and Musical Mobb. Survive follows on in a deadlier, sub-driven vibe, taking the listener on a journey through London’s smokey back roads, with carefully executed drum programming, hypnotic vocal chants and panic-inducing atmospherics. Fresh off her brilliant Decaffienated Love EP for Scratcha’s DVA Music imprint, London producer Shy One opens the basement windows with her version of Rock The Flock. Jazzy piano licks, swirling pads and rolling drums take centre stage to transport Rock The Flock to an airy higher level. The Diskotopia Dub version of Rock The Flock, a collaborative production by label heads A Taut Line and BD1982, takes Visionist’s original to the after-hours crowd, intoxicating the track with acid-flashback flourishes, lowly swung 4x4 rhythms and shots of sub bass. Dutty Artz member Lamin Fofana represents the New York tropical sound with a Keith Fullerton Whitman indebted “Disingenuous” mix of Rock The Flock. Laser-gleaned kicks splice swirling remnants of mutated synth patterns bringing the release to a mind-bending conclusion. Visionist also has upcoming releases lined up for Oneman’s 502 Recordings, Throwing Snow’s Left Blank imprint as well as developing his own label, 91 Points which will soon host the release of the already cult-classic Mr. 67. Visionist has already been getting airplay on BBC Radio One, Rinse FM and more, on top of receiving DJ support from a wide variety of international talent including (the aforementioned) Oneman, Hyetal, Blackdown, Darksky, French Fries, Starkey, Photomachine and many more. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 18:12 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: digital booklet Tracklist: 01. Greeen Linez - Streetdancer (3:59) 02. Greeen Linez - Summer Bounce (Interlude) (2:08) 03. Greeen Linez - Moonlight Affair (4:57) 04. Greeen Linez - Crystalline Vision (Interlude) (3:05) 05. Greeen Linez - Feel the Pressure (4:03) In a slight change of direction, Diskotopia release the debut from Greeen Linez just in time for summer. The Greeen Linez EP is the result of a new collaboration between Matt Lyne (aka A Taut Line) and Chris Greenberg (one third of the band Hong Kong in the 60s). Matt and Chris first met and started playing dance music together over 15 years ago, before they were even in their teens. Now, many years later and separated by two continents – Chris still lives in Cambridge, where they both grew up, whilst Matt has been living in Japan for over 6 years – the pair have decided to return to the musical sounds and styles that first excited and inspired them as youngsters. This EP is a trip back to the days when Cambridge still had multiple independent record shops (it now has none) and double-cassette dance compilations were the order of the day. However, as the clichés go, the past is a different country, and you can’t go home again, so this EP filters all those nostalgic influences through everything Matt and Chris have heard and experienced in the intervening years. Streetdancer combines the synthesized R&B sounds pioneered by producers such as Leon Sylvers and Jam & Lewis with the euphoric Euro-house that dominated much of mainstream radio in the early ‘90s. Summer Bounce returns to the halcyon days when the sun-kissed, low-slung funk of West Coast hip-hop was ubiquitous throughout the world. Regardless of what the weather was actually like in the UK during that period, hazy recollections of the time now seem to recall a joyful and endless summer, and this track aims to recapture those dream-like memories. Moonlight Affair is deeply influenced by the nocturnal atmospherics of tracks such as Maze’s Twilight and Sha-Lor’s I’m In Love – recordings that Matt and Chris first came across on Beechwood’s legendary Mastercuts series of compilations – as well as Carl Craig’s epochal Landcruising album. The EP’s remaining two tracks are as rooted in visual influences as they are in musical ones. In the case of Crystalline Vision, life-changing late-night viewings of films such as Blade Runner, Manhunter, Risky Business and especially the work of John Carpenter provide the impetus, as much for their transporting atmosphere and visuals as their amazing music. With the closing track, Feel The Pressure, Matt and Chris have gone back to their early memories of classic music TV: the heavy rotation of high-energy videos such as Madonna’s Vogue and C+C Music Factory’s Gonna Make You Sweat, as well as programs like Dance Energy and The Chart Show, all of which provided the aural and visual wallpaper to the duo’s childhood years. released July 25, 2011

BD1982 - Calenture (Murlo Remix) (4:19) 06. A Taut Line - In This Heat (BNJMN Remix) (4:40) The fifth Diskotopia release is a split, coming from Diskotopia head-honchos A Taut Line and BD1982, with remixes from PhOtOmachine, BNJMN, Pacheko and Murlo. After spending time soaking up nostalgic rays on the coastlines with the debut Greeen Linez EP, Diskotopia now ventures off into a day-to-night journey with label co-owners A Taut Line and BD1982. The Diskotopia team offer up two mind-melting tracks backed with exceptional remix assistance from BNJMN, Murlo, Pacheko and PhOtOmachine on this release, Diskotopia’s fifth for 2011. BD1982 begins the day with the soca-infused, grimy workout of Calenture; full of skittering toms, searing synths and an infectious vocal call-to-arms. As the sun starts to set A Taut Line takes things deeper into the humid sleepless city nights for In This Heat with hypnotic gamelan-esque hits, haunted strings and driving rhythms. Venezuela’s all-around bass music ambassador Pacheko pushes Calenture even further by introducing a kuduro attitude with choppy vocal cuts, unforgiving percussion and a relentless energy that would make anyone draw for their whistle. Building on the killer sounds on his Techicolour EP, released on Super, Photomachine brings In This Heat squarely into the dead of night by dropping a frenzy-inducing 303 lead and electro-indebted kick/snare pattern which would be fit for the heads-down and hands- in-the air crew alike. Brighton up-and-comer Murlo takes Calenture to carnival heights, refitting the original with an overall gully-workout aesthetic full of MIDI-marimba-tinged melodies, sino-grime strings and an upbeat vibe fit for settling into dusk. BNJMN, fresh from releasing eye-opening material on Rush Hour and Svetlana washes In This Heat with hazy-synths, jackin’ rhythms and a swirling pace that pushes the tension further into a dream-state darkness. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 24:07 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: cover Tracklist: 01.

Slackk - Keys In the Bowl (4:17) After previously contributing a remix of BD1982’s VHS Nite for DSK002, Diskotopia is proud to present a 5-track solo EP from the one and only Slackk. Currently based in London, Slackk is a pioneer of the eski-house sound which draws inspiration from Wiley’s minimal, icy riddims from the early days of grime and the classic jackin’ sounds of Chicago. Slackk’s productions have a distinct quality which evoke feelings of familiarity and in contrast the otherworldly notion of new grounds being forged with every twist and turn. The galloping percussion and airy synth plucks of Act Nine kick things off in fine style as Slackk extends a dancefloor invitation in the spirit of his Patrice & Friends project. What follows next is not for the lighthearted however, Pub Crawl is a driving, distorted tom-tom rhythm track built for peak time club destruction. Girl Song incorporates a rolling sub bass with Motown-indebted vocal cuts to jaw-dropping effect; a perfect synergy of contemporary r&b, house and garage influences. Slackk then drops the temperature to tried and true eski territory with Mannerism, 16-bit synths on the attack and Baltimore club influenced drum patterns in the trenches. Rounding out the EP is Keys In The Bowl, a snapshot of what Ice Rink would sound like after being broken down and reassembled during a Delorean ride from Chicago to Detroit and then London to Moscow. Slackk’s Grimetapes project which launched in 2008 was an amazing resource of pirate radio sessions and self-curated mixtapes of classic and obscure sets from the leaders of the grime scene. Over the past year Slackk has released on Numbers, Forefront Recordings and Uttu to critical acclaim and worldwide DJ support. Slackk’s new Patrice & Friends project, which combines aspects of juke and R&B, was recently self-released and featured on Fact Magazine. ----------------------- foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 1:03:20 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: cover Tracklist: 01.

Mau'lin - Function Open (Greeen Linez Remix) (5:00) 24Bit Following on from Diskotopia Various Artists Volume One, Diskotopia continue their second year of activity with a massive release from Mau'lin. The London based artist, previously releasing on labels such as Alexander Nut's Ho Tep Records, makes his Diskotopia debut with 3 heavy dancefloor gems, backed with remixes from Jack Dixon, and Diskotopia family Am Rhein and Greeen Linez. Title track Function Open, marks an exercise into a light/dark juxtaposition; heavy musique concrète broken beat patterns are bounced around playfully whilst ominous string pads and screaming synth-toms shudder the solid urban funk energy. Duties recalls pirate radio soundtracked midnight taxi rides around east London; begrimed breaks coated with pin-prick stabs glisten in headlights before getting dissolved in an inertia wash of luscious synth. Starbeast is a much darker and even more late-night affair. Sci-fi pads elevate a drum n' bass and breaks influenced sturdy UK dynamism, proving a prime exemplification of the Diskotopia "timeless" ethic, as millennium era flashbacks haunt a modern dancefloor classic. With previous releases and remixes on labels such Brownswood and Skint, London-based artist Jack Dixon has already been making a name for himself in the electronic scene. Here his techno infused take on Function Open smartens up the original into a mature and sophisticated warehouse experience without losing any of the dirty burghal virility. Japanese female Diskotopia resident DJ Am Rhein makes her recording debut on this EP with her haunted remix of the title track. Whilst swapping the broken beats for a New York house inspired four-to-the floor rhythm, she partners the howling synth-toms of the original with relentless washed-out chords, arpeggio flourishes and Sakamoto-esque chimes. Greeen Linez close the EP with an unimaginable re-imagining of the A-side. Those hallmark toms penetrate a pairing of G-funk groove and airy DX7 drenched nostalgia; if Jan Hammer had produced R&B it may very well have sounded like this. released March 5, 2012

A Taut Line - Blue Optics (4:35) 24Bit Following collaborative/split releases with Hong Kong In The 60s and BD1982 (as well as his work as one half of Greeen Linez), 2776 Digital Hi-Vision is the debut full EP from Diskotopia co-founder Matt Lyne (aka A Taut Line). With this release, the UK-born/Japan-based producer/DJ elaborates on his trademark mesmeric tuned percussion and nocturnal cityscape atmospherics to conjure an intoxicating dreamstate re-imagining of his adopted home country. The EP’s opener, Sanreizan, combines haunting Sakamoto-esque chimes, a Mantronix-stamped 303 bass-line and scattershot laser-bent synths, coasting like subatomic waves of atmospheric pressure during a space station docking sequence. The track gradually builds to a heady peak, reminiscent of Ken Ishii’s hallucinatory house music and the voyage-based animation and educational science videos of the late ‘70s and ‘80s that were a formative influence on Matt’s psyche. The aptly-titled Drunk mixes percussive rave stabs, slippery two-step drum patterns, disembodied vocal chants and Orbital-esque cyber-arpeggios. Ghostly flashbacks of 90s piano house haunt the upper range, coalescing with the garage-infused rhythms and bouncy sub-bass to create a woozy yet irresistible sense of after-hours dancefloor delirium. Sands begins as a Fourth World space nocturne, with slinky portamento washes and distant tribal percussion breaking out into a solid mid-tempo stomp. Synthetic bass plucks woven through room-filling claps transport the listener from an imaginary savannah under the stars to a nightclub heaving with ecstatic bodies. Laxckqer ramps up the semi-industrial percussion and late-night psychic wanderings that suffuse A Taut Line’s music. Exquisitely spooked Rhodes and narcoticised murmurings, reminiscent of the epochal Super Discount releases, gradually give way to razor-edged euphoria, as waves of distortion and treated vibraphone envelop the listener in a womb-like catacomb of early-hours paranoiac rapture. The EP’s closing track, Blue Optics, evokes sunrise towards the end of an epic nocturnal journey, its polyrhythmic future soul and swung wood-cut rhythms perfectly soundtracking the transition from night into day. Eerily calm on the surface, yet permeated with a sense of restless urgency, comedown bliss battling the irresistible urge to keep on dancing. foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 21:12 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: cover Tracklist: 01.

Myakkah - Modern Life (4:39) 24Bit The debut release from Myakkah on Diskotopia entitled Warehouse Soul was delivered with a scarce amount of personal backstory but a rich aesthetic of past, present and future sonic notes interwoven into something truly unique. Warehouse Soul comes across like vintage NYC house recordings culled from dusty DAT tapes in the early 90s that by contrast contained lost reel-to- reel Motown session outtakes which were then buried in a time capsule only to be dug up and completed in the year 2025. Warehouse Soul kicks off with Eyes Up, an optimistic start of the night rich with gauze-covered synthesizer breaths, driving kickdrums, scattershot percussive hits, resonating sub bass and disembodied dancehall shoutouts. Owing equal debts to Bobby Konders’ early productions as it does to Wally Badarou or even Photek, Eyes Up is a mission statement to the dusty yet digital realm Myakkah occupies. Eyes Down moves into darker territory altogether boasting an acid-indebted lead, eskibeat percussion, catacomb-dwelling kicks and foreboding vocal cuts. It’s basically what an excursion into the secret catacombs of a club lost somewhere in the time-space continuum would sound like. Myakkah takes a left turn into semi-cosmic realms for I Want To Feel as zero-gravity synth pads balance deftly on precision drum programming, rolling basslines and calls of “wanting to be in hyperspace” coalesce into a peak-time cut for tomorrow’s yesterday. Myakkah sums up the journey with Modern Life by simultaneously dropping and upping the tempo. A hollowed-out boom bap riddim with dread chords, a diva’s yearnings and voices of New York’s past ride amongst Reinforced-indebted percussion into waves of push and pull which finally culminate back into a smoky haze somewhere in the same realm of where Warehouse Soul began. released May 21, 2012

Greeen Linez - Lift Off (5:22) Greeen Linez is a collaboration between Chris Greenberg (from the British electronic pop band Hong Kong In The 60s) and UK-born/Tokyo-based DJ/producer A Taut Line (aka Matt Lyne, co-founder of the Diskotopia label). The project combines the ‘90s dance music and R&B that soundtracked Chris and Matt’s childhoods with the ‘70s/’80s jazz-funk and synthesizer soundtracks that they have obsessed over in the years since. All of this is filtered through the cocktail of retro pop, fusion and supermarket muzak that Matt has been exposed to during his time in Japan. Following last year’s self-titled EP on Diskotopia, Things That Fade is the debut full-length release from Greeen Linez. The album is a cinematic journey through a fantasy world of music, both familiar and unreal, and as perfectly suited to bedroom dreamers as it is to nightclub dancers. released August 13, 2012

First heard on his 2776 Digital Hi-Vision EP, Sands begins as a Fourth World space nocturne, with slinky portamento washes and distant Brazilian percussion breaking out into a solid mid-tempo stomp. Synthetic bass plucks woven through room-filling claps transport the listener from an imaginary savannah under the stars to a nightclub heaving with ecstatic bodies. Dunes, is a much more barren affair, taking the tempo and pressure of Sands but twisting the germinating ecstasy of the former into a grainy and dusty melancholy. Washed out piano-house figments, synthetic percussive screams, and relentless paranoid hallucinative voices create a heat stricken knackered nightmare. Also included on this release are three exciting reinterpretations of Sands. Firstly, following his Function Open release on Diskotopia and ahead of his Numbers debut, London based Mau’lin turns the title track into a rolling Vibert meets Sakamoto party anthem. Coming close on the heels of his excellent Diskotopia EP, Warehouse Soul, Myakkah makes his remix debut on this release. Here he strips Sands back into a woozy barbiturate-intoxicated percussive dance-floor oblivion; only stark xylophone clattering breaks the surface to let any light in. Coming after his much lauded seven track Pleasure Patterns EP on 2020 Vision, Debukas mixes up glockenspiel house with his own brand of pop-sensibilities and a beautiful layering of his own vocal work to turn in a gorgeous alternate version of Sands that will surely go down just as well with fans of Caribou, and Ulrich Schauss as it will with fans of Maya Jane Coles and Simon Baker. foobar2000 1.2.5 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1  Аудиокодек: FLAC (*.flac)Тип рипа: tracks Продолжительность: 16:10 Наличие сканов в содержимом раздачи: cover Tracklist: 01.

Fujimoto Tetsuro - Suminareta (3:40) 24Bit The first Diskotopia transmission of 2013 comes from Osaka-born Tokyo-based beatmaker and Cosmopolyphonic member Fujimoto Tetsuro. A veteran of the Tokyo underground community, Fujimoto Tetsuro has been crafting his own sharp, groove- indebted hybrids of modern electronic soul for years now. Having raised both local and global awareness by contributing tracks for Aroop Roy’s Absolute compilation, Hashim B's acclaimed LA♥JPN♥LA series, as well as his own Reflections EP released on New York based Bagpak, Fujimoto Tetsuro has immersed his sound to deeper levels of stylistic fusion with the release of Sketches Of The Other Tokyo. Inspired by everything from nature, space and his own everyday life in Tokyo, Fujimoto infuses elements of hip hop, R&B, soul, jazz, house, UK garage and more to create a sound that although quintessentially modern-Japanese, takes the listener on an international trip at the same time. In The Soil springs Sketches Of The Other Tokyo to life with charred pads and forlorn vocal stabs which then evolve into a soul-immersed steppers groove perfect for rain- drenched marches home from a long night out, a wet head nodding. Dramas takes a more sensual turn as plucked guitars intertwine with bouncy drum programming as flanged chords swell and waver throughout performing a striking celestial ebb and flow. Consider this an R&B transmission to Shibuya from a lost space probe. The unadulterated funk of Puddle is palpable with chunky slap bass tucked neatly into pockets of arpeggios, boogie riffs, synth washes and an inescapable half-step groove. The accomplished understated restraint teases the listener through kaleidoscopic smoky backstreets. Suminareta winds up the journey with a heads-down, narcotic take of an epilogue. Chants of “home” make their way through ghostly yet warm pads, heavy but laid-back machine rhythms and an underscored sense of soul that gives an insight just what might lay in store in the Other Tokyo. released February 25, 2013

Serifu - Stucco Swim (4:39) 02. Serifu - Said Situation (4:50) 03. Serifu - School Slide (4:22) Diskotopia are proud to announce the debut release from Serifu, entitled Stucco Swim. Although a new name in the industry, what is certain is that this entrance places itself firmly in and outside the realms of modern electronic music as we know it. There is a truly singular vision at work here which is hard to pin down: kaleidoscopic imaginations of club paradigms and funk grooves, envisioned through an approach to composition that is as much a fundamental disintegration of dance music keystones, as it is a construction of fresh bracing parallels. Stucco Swim is the first introduction to Serifu’s sonic stimulus and it sounds like a Rubix Cube’s descent down a flight of stairs rigged with synthetic booby traps. Gurgling drums and persistent yet skewed percussion intertwine a potpourri of shredded vocal chants, jungle bass hits, laser smudges, washed out pads and bits of otherworldly artifacts yet to be discovered. Like a new angular fusion of Mozambique and dancehall created by rhythmic splashes of paint on a chrome floor. Said Situation is another confounded beast altogether: placing lineage to something between classic 1980s electro and a very warped vision of 90s salsa-house, while incorporating manic percussive bursts, frantic sprints of distorted electronics and earworm-induced string leads. Consider this a dance-floor anthem for b-boy perverts in the first clubs of the Mars colonies. Concluding the release we come to School Slide, the darkest turn of events so far. Stomping kicks, fuzzy Dillinja-indebted low-end slides and queasy GM strings collide with more of Serifu’s ethereal percussion, debased vocal concoctions and unhealthy twisted arpeggios to provide a stunning conclusion to this fascinating debut release. released May 6, 2013

Mau'lin - Visitor (5:39) 24Bit The third Diskotopia release of 2013 comes transmitted from somewhere out in deep space, courtesy of label mainstay, RBMA alumni & Tender Hooks co-founder Mau’lin. Building on from last year’s excellently received Function Open EP, Mau’lin continues his exploration of ruff and rugged polyrhythmic techno abstractions in fine style. The four original tracks which comprise the Quotient EP, plus a stunning Boxwork remix, are Mau’lin’s strongest and most visceral tracks to date. Already having gained support from Numbers bosses Jackmaster and Spencer with plays on Rinse FM & BBC Radio 1, Quotient wastes no time to kick things off properly. A bent and skewed, portamento-twisted barrage of android percussion collides like bursting atoms with jackin’ drums while an otherworldly wash of synth blankets the surrounding frenzy. Arriver takes the proceedings deeper with a distorted and determined wormhole-coasting lead guiding through uncharted territories. Lost-in-space diva chants haunt as unwavering 4x4 drums ensure a clear path through the unknown. The galactic funk of From Form is an undeniable testament to the strength Mau’lin’s vision of interstellar production techniques. Heads-down vibes in the darkest corners of the universe is the name of the game here. Pulsing and filtered bass, swirling leads, concurrent waves of drums and an underlying momentum that’s impossible not to get lost in. Visitor is a bit more playful and reminiscent of Roni Size’s classic Snapshot; the unrelenting tuned percussion creating a whirlwind effect that an escape pod shot from a doomed space shuttle might tune it’s dial to in order to outrun the beams of a dying planet. Fresh from his LNUK debut EP in February, London's Boxwork re-works From Form into a warehouse techno excursion, smashing cavernous drums and bold synth cuts together with wild momentum. released August 26, 2013

BD1982 - Blud (4:50) 24Bit Diskotopia co-founder BD1982 shares his most realized work to date with Casings. Conceived as a reductionist look at how comprehensive musical influences spanning both past and present could be dissected then reassembled into a unique stand-alone strain, the tracks that comprise Casings are a deepened exploration and evolution of BD1982’s past output which hint at new grounds yet to be uncovered in the future development of his sound. Now based back in his hometown of New Jersey, having lived in Yokohama, Kyoto, Philadelphia and New York, his output has always shown an international recognition of sound. His grime and VHS-era synth infused releases on Seclusiasis, B.YRSLF and of course Diskotopia, have proved himself to be one of a fine calibre of producers that has managed to hone his influences, into a very unique, recognizable and personal style. Bakkwaa is as much a throwback to the sound of mid 80s digi-dancehall in the vein of Steely & Clevie as it is a stark calling card from a dystopian future. Cassava takes on a lighter carnival feel but retains the grittiness of grime’s 8-bar heyday. The syncopations and swing of Writuals maintain a dancefloor-focused velocity, giving way to flourishes of South Africa along the way. The Ground Opens is a lumbering, breezy slice of hypnotic soundclash history which cools things off a bit. Title track Casings dives straight into a heady and synthetic gauze-laden mission statement: snapshots of elements colliding, re-assembling themselves throughout space and time, all the while guided by the words of one of the UK’s founding fathers of contemporary electronic music. Blessed is a slow-motion ode to the rollers of Lemon D and Digital while the knock and pressure of Blud is an undeniable workout of dread pulse and ethereal percussion. Vinyl exclusive cut Clear Walls is a fully club-tested, sealed and approved concoction made up of equal parts kwaito, eski and psychedelic electronics. released October 28, 2013

Rabit - Sun Showers (3:58) 02. Rabit - Levels (4:37) 03. Rabit - 40 Below (3:27) 04. Rabit - Black Bag (3:24) 24Bit An icy shard of intrigue crashes through on Diskotopia courtesy of Rabit and his Sun Showers EP. Having had material released on Glacial Sound, Keysound Recordings, and #FEELINGS in the past few years, Houston based producer Rabit is quickly becoming a name synonymous with the kind of expansive forward-thinking new wave of grime led by the likes of Visionist and Fatima Al Qadiri, that's rapidly making waves transatlantically. Here with the Sun Showers EP we see a musique concrète show of variations on Rabit’s sound. Already garnering support from Blackdown on his Rinse FM show, Sun Showers creates a haunting opening to the EP. Razor-sharp yet delicate reverse hi-hats icicles cut through ethereal crystalline synth-chorale and sub-laden atmospherics, to create a sublime digital elegy, with dread and anticipation cloaked behind each celestial resonating note. Levels is a true show of minimalist precision; tightly edited dot matrix machine-funk for the clubs of tomorrow. The carefully controlled restraint gives Levels a very unique fearlessness, shrewdly juxtaposed with the paranoid erratic pace of the rhythms. Echoes of early 90s Chicago, millennial-era Squarepusher, Hessle Audio output, and even Steve Reich's earliest compositions can be found beneath the deceptive simplicity, giving Levels the hidden depths that the title hints at. With the prerequisite stamp of approval from L-Vis 1990, it’s a surefire club tool fit for the most discerning crowd. As the track name suggests, 40 Below takes us to the depths of subterranean glaciers, navigating through the shadows cast within frozen corridors, guided only by sparse tribal conga taps. An uneasy commotion of broken glass, lasers and ghostly laughter reverberates and builds edgy tension. This one is for an E3 basement-confined ritualistic meditation fit only for the end of days. Black Bag takes the Eski sound to new realms of transcendence to round out the Sun Showers EP. Swells of emotion trickle in and out of a foreboding mantra of gliding squares, as percussion in and of itself is all but nonexistent save for a scattering of filtered claps, shattered cymbal crashes and disembodied cowbells. An eerie note of closure for a frozen journey into the unknown. released October 7, 2013

A Taut Line - Returnee (5:19) 12. A Taut Line - Valentyne (4:57) 24Bit For their final release of 2013, Diskotopia is proud to present Nitriding Portrait, the debut solo album from label co-founder Matt Lyne, aka A Taut Line. As one half of the internationally acclaimed Greeen Linez project (with Chris Greenberg from the band Hong Kong In the 60s), Matt has contributed heavily to the global City Pop and MIDI-Funk resurgence of the past few years. However, the material on this A Taut Line full-length is far removed from the muzak-inspired channeling of ‘90s dance and R&B that made up Greeen Linez's 2012 album Things That Fade. Nitriding Portrait sees A Taut Line take the lush yet lo-fi house sounds of his previous Diskotopia EPs and filter them through a hallucinatory production palette to create a kind of sultry late-night Fourth World Exotica, inspired by the humid sub-tropical summers of his adopted homeland Japan. African and Brazilian-indebted deep polyrhythmic percussion melds with Liberty Records-esque strings and esoteric melodic textures, taking the listener on a unique journey that embodies the progressive idealism of Diskotopia’s sound. Mauna Loa opens the album with a breathy, disorienting New Age fantasy soundtrack, its sloping groove guiding the listener into the chopped, static-inflected swing and white noise stabs of Peripheral. Bewildered Pleasure is a brooding stormer that could be aptly dropped at a warehouse rave in the Himalayas; As You Need, whilst flaunting a Gothic-Handbag House vibe, boasts deft drum-break hacking that slices through the synthesized melancholia. Tusk Noir takes us knee-deep on safari with ominous brass and an undeniably driving pace that propels you into the brewing, scalding melange of No Prior Depth, a track infused with the percussion and organs of 1970s Afro-funk via early ‘90s British electronica. The introspective Chicago-meets-Tokyo dreamscape Chimera leads off the second half of the album, changing the pace briefly with its Bubble-era DX7s shimmering above faxed jazz drumming, before Northentic steers us straight to the dancefloor with an evocative bassline, collapsing percussion and erotically charged heavy breathing. Passed With drifts on stranger tides, offering an emotive synth/choral ambience tempered with cinematic marimba - only to have these belligerently ripped asunder by militant weather-beaten snares - whilst the midtempo rest stop of Gunkan Island is a testament to A Taut Line’s masterful sense of groove and atmospheric texture. Returnee provides the only real ray of light on the album, but even this track’s warm-fuzzy sensitivity, invoking the likes of Mr. Fingers, has an unnerving sense of hidden dread lurking beneath it. Valentyne brings the voyage to a close with a club-friendly exotic anthem that pairs jubilant orchestral motifs with unsettling, off kilter percussion-jolts and vicious acid lines - leaving a sense of apprehension about whether this final destination is one we are really all that comfortable to be reaching. released November 8, 2013

A Taut Line - 4TRCK (5:06) 24Bit Diskotopia co-founders A Taut Line and BD1982 present their second joint release to kick off 2014. Now operating from two separate continents, both producers sought to present an EP that didn’t necessarily offer remixes of each others’ work but rather individual representations of sonic starting points. Sample sources and concepts are reinterpreted through a myriad of stylistic influences throughout the four tracks showcased on DSK020 and yet the increasingly apparent but intangible Diskotopia sound is a consistent force. Following on from the deconstructed opiate dancehall of last year’s Casings EP, BD1982 opens with the undulating Throw Shade. Recorded and mixed in a direct-to-tape fashion, Throw Shade is a minimalist riddim with undeniable energy. Traces of BD1982’s past work are present here along with a itching unrest A Taut Line’s mesmerizing Nitriding Portrait LP saw journeys incurred across vast and varying terrains of musicality and Throw Shade Too continues this voyage in fine style. With an electromagnetic pulse at its core, waves of tumbling percussion, emotive pads, poignant metallophones and a 4th world balearic atmosphere push DSK020 past the borders of the known/unknown. BD1982 offers up a laidback but thunderous cut in the form of MNTNS. Disembodied vocals, haunted trombones and codeine-drenched percussion are the order of the day here. MNTNS basically sounds like an excavated Sade reference track recorded in Lee Perry’s Black Ark studio circa 1977. A Taut Line closes out DSK020 with the determined pulse of 4TRCK. Masterful percussive sensibilities have always been a core element to A Taut Line productions and there is no shortage of mind-bending polyrhythms here. 4TRCK utilizes some of the familiar, ghostly chants of MNTNS by interweaving into a brooding, celestial workout best suited for a Berlin sunrise. released March 24, 2014

Mau'lin - Octopus Arm (6:13) 24Bit Ahead of an off-centre collaborate release scheduled for the end of summer 2014, Tender Hooks co-boss, RBMA alumni and Diskotopia mainstay Mau’lin returns from the future once again to present the next installment of his own individualistic and undeniably potent sound in the form of Wrecker. This being the third EP on Diskotopia, preceded by Function Open and Quotient, Mau’lin continues to carve out his own distinctive niche of mutated, mechanical techno. Influenced by themes within nature, Mau’lin’s stripped down execution on the tracks contained within Wrecker permeate a certain bio-mechanical feel throughout. Wrecker percolates with an understated intensity to open this next chapter in Mau’lin’s study of the elements. Melancholic chords add bittersweet juxtaposition to a shoulder-dropping bassline, South African tinged percussion and stringed whispers from the darkest corners of the globe. The perfect opener to the alien and yet familiar journey which lies ahead. Tail Bone creeps out the darkness like the reanimated corpse of an extinct paleolithic beast: dark-side polyrhythms, hushed snare gasps, mechanical hi-hats and dubwise bass congeal to form something truly not of this Earth yet inherently tied to it’s past. This is machine music with an organic pulse driving the circuitry. Mau’lin delivers peak time material for travelers between this and the fifth dimension as Octopus Arm goes straight for the jugular. A driving distorted sine wave pulse, jacking percussion, anti-gravity swells, disembodied divas and an incessant bounce ensure any dancefloor to be entangled this side of sunken Atlantis. released May 5, 2014

Visionist - Can't Forget (4:23) 02. Visionist - Can't Forget (Moiré Remix) (3:36) 24Bit Diskotopia offer a cold contrast to the summer months with a stunning single from the prolific Visionist. Having debuted on Diskotopia in July 2011, Visionist has gone on to become an international front-running electronic artist and heralded as one of the key players in the recent grime renaissance. With releases on labels such as Lit City Trax, Ramp, Keysound and 92 Points under his belt in the interim, Visionist returns to Diskotopia in 2014 with the stark Can’t Forget which comes backed with an undulating remix from Werkdiscs’ Moiré. The ghostly requiem Can’t Forget flows from the same source of primal emotion seen on the I’m Fine releases from Lit City Trax. Suffocated, mutilated traces of grime are swathed in a wash of ethereal new age neo-classical choral atmospherics that reverberate in an otherworldly space. Orchestral bass drum tolls draped in synth-clap cloth provide the only form of clarity in such a composition best suited for locked cathedrals after midnight or seances held in abandoned pirate radio tower blocks. Following on from his two seminal murky techno releases for Actress’ Werkdiscs and an excellent Rush Hour 12", Moiré joins Diskotopia for remix duties in deconstructing Can’t Forget. Stepping up the pace a notch, whilst preserving the essence of the original, Moiré dices the paean like voices of Visionist’s tapestry into an early-days-of-the-MPC-house music vowel recall. Massive poundings of distorted kicks and swung crumbling cabasa twists tease hope of an end to the relentless dread that is conjured here, but no such reprieve is handily given. There's nothing but your repentance for sins they can't forget. released June 16, 2014

Greeen Linez - Ice Water Bay (4:38) 24Bit Izu King Street is the second album by Greeen Linez, following their popular and acclaimed debut Things That Fade - which itself was followed by two successful 12” EPs and extensive remix work. The remit for this album was simple: more melody, more complexity, more ambition and less sampling - taking the music both further out and further inward. Moving on from the more straight-up dance-pop and BGM funk of their earlier work, this time Greeen Linez drew inspiration from artists such as Paul Hardcastle and Larry Heard, whose work straddles the boundaries between dance music, new-age/ambient and jazz - and most importantly, as was the aim for this album, creates a self-contained world in which the listener can lose themselves. The duo also took much encouragement and motivation from the many like-minded artists whose paths they have crossed since their earlier releases, either through remix work or other collaborations: artists like Magic Touch, Sorcerer, Seahawks, Moon B, the idol group Especia (whose saxophonist Yoshihiro Nakagawa guests on two tracks on Izu King Street) and the Japanese producer and guitarist Awa (who once again collaborated on this album). Izu King Street takes the listener on a journey through a fantasy realm of memories and dreams: from the neon-lit city streets and gleaming corporate spaces of the opening tracks, through the wistful dreamscapes at the album’s heart and on to the tropical heat-haze of the closing numbers. Rhythmically and sonically varied, but conceptually and atmospherically cohesive, and taking the established Greeen Linez sound to new and exciting places.

BD1982 - And U Kno (4:43) 24Bit Diskotopia co-owner BD1982 eases the transition from the sweltering summer heat of the Greeen Linez Izu King Street album to a brisk and concise single in the form of Operratorr. The three tracks represented here were built with an immediacy reminiscent of BD1982’s Throw Shade released earlier this year on the split DSK020 EP with A Taut Line. Taking initial cues from a classic smooth slice of R&B, Operratorr whirs into gear sounding like a lost cut from The New Dance Show in an alternate universe. A taut synth lead cuts through intrepid percussion and dubwise dynamics forming a spiralling maze ready for the most discerning soundsystem. The last third of Operratorr switches gears by dialing down the proceedings to a head-nod crawl; giving a glimpse into a throwed wormhole caused by the former’s collapse. Platinuum is inspired as much by BD1982’s long appreciation of soundsystem culture and UK garage as it is informed by classic Metroplex material. This club-ready exercise in dynamism is bolstered by a ready-to-jack kick and hi-hat combo, rolling bassline and chunky arpeggios. Add a disembodied ganjaman chant to the mix and you’ve got a peak-time draw for eternity. Taking cues from labelmate Myakkah, BD1982 closes out with the squashed warehouse soul of And U Kno. Percussive, driving and saturated are some ways to describe the hybrid funk percolating off concurrent elements within. It basically sounds like a forgotten dubplate taped off a time-travelling pirate radio station broadcasting between New York 1994 and London 2005 then re-edited for the global descendents of Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation released September 15, 2014

Ahead of his follow up to the widely acclaimed Nitriding Portrait album released last year, Matt Lyne presents two incredulously deep, detailed and dancefloor ready burners for the global clubminded community. Bamboo Holography is drenched in the exotic Fourth World humidity that has become a staple of A Taut Line’s work, takes us to an entirely new land with barely any trace of a passport stamp. Ethereal biology video pads ascend and recline through a tribal percussive workout; the pan Afro-Asia shrill winds of nature coinciding with a mechanical presence being brought to the forefront during a peak-time, hands-in-the-air moment. This is 1984, 1993 and 2020 at the same time in the very early hours of the morning and you’ve just crossed the line into a Twilight Zone warehouse rave of another continent in another world altogether. Freeze Roll is a churning, insistent boogie freakout reserved for the listeners of days future past. A multimedia mélange of whirlwind b-boy & b-girl battle images meld with ever shifting quantized arpeggios as wormhole-laden 707 transcendental rhythms provide a rock solid ocean floor for the otherworldly chats accenting the proceedings in a particularly fine style.

Silvestre - Grito da Revolta (5:09) 24Bit Diskotopia is proud to kickstart 2015 with an incendiary four-track EP from Lisbon born, London based João Pimenta aka Silvestre. With a remix on Photonz label One Eyed Jacks under his belt, the Frank Pike EP is Silvestre’s proper debut release and is an arresting, sparse, driving yet soulful work. The four tracks that comprise the Frank Pike EP work together in communicating how Silvestre relates to his personal environment, friends, conquests and emotions through subversive kaleidoscopic electronics. Frank Pike can best be equated as the sound of a restart button being pressed during a starcraft launch initiation sequence in the middle of a dystopian urban wasteland. Heavily modulated filters catch tails of mid-century jazz distorting over radio waves; insistent pads writhe, rise and drone; an undercurrent-swept rhythm tethering a line to uncertain sanity. Proceedings cool off with Antes Éramos, a love letter of sorts employing disassociated vocal chops and smoked out pads in a seductive yet menacing manner. Hydroponic house grooves for the late night R&B clubs of another time to reminisce, romanticize and realign with the star systems. The energy of Flash Fashion Design is undeniable, as is the biting social commentary in which it draws inspiration from. Soundsystem ready, minimal and crisp; Silvestre dives into a lush cacophony of dread-laden, Detriot-indebted workouts between the groove. Directly translated as revolt scream, Grito da Revolta pulls no punches and gets down to brass tacks. Waves of crackling distortion ebb and flow like an ocean set aflame; deep space echoed arpeggios vie for a last chance at being received through the void; cold yet calculated percussion deliver a subatomic weight meant to move mountains. released February 16, 2015

A Taut Line - Growth Diffraction (4:39) 12. A Taut Line - 1Oz Dry (3:45) 24Bit Diskotopia founder and label co-head Matt Lyne delivers the second full-length A Taut Line album, Mutual Prints. Picking up where 2013’s Nitriding Portrait LP left off and expanding even further abound with his unique brand of 4th World exotica,Mutual Prints is a geo continental tour of the vastly varying influences that comprise A Taut Line’s sonic palette. Proving a striking contrast to Lyne's other output as one half of Greeen Linez, Mutual Prints is his most expansive work under the A Taut Line alias to date, with fantasy and nightmares colliding at the same momentum as the genre clashes, and Diskotopia are extremely proud to offer a glimpse into this immersive, weird and wonderful world. The incendiary forming new age patterns of opener Littoral Psalm launches the Mutual Prints voyage straight into a disorientating cyclone leaving us washed up ashore on the tropical 4th World island of earthy roller Bamboo Holography. Stait Foreign Country leads us deeper into the undergrowth and plays like a passport page stamped from the Congo, '80s East Harlem and Berlin concurrently. After half-awakening from the tribalist dream-sequence cypher of Izu Kogen we are found dazed and drenched in the intense fever-ridden '90s techno & house inspired Care and subsequently slightly more euphorically,Flowt. The kaleidoscopic Sagami Dawn, a first-light peak-top view of the ocean provides the only semblance of clarity before we've dived into the glistening Shimoda No Odoriko, swimming with a soul-soaked percussive bounce. Midnight Shoreline ebbs and flows the remnants of disassociated mixtape jams recorded a world away as Pageturn snaps into a multi-timbral workout of Eski progression. Growth Diffraction’s junglist footsteps sprint across an evolving gamelan landscape before yielding into the final chimerical march of 1oz Dry, a stoic and ethereal epilogue for this sweeping journey. released April 27, 2015

Computer Graphics - Virtual Race (5:12) 24Bit Following the recent release of Places, an LP under his critically-acclaimed Pixelord alias, Diskotopia welcomes Alexey Devyanin as Computer Graphics with the CCCP EP. Devyanin explains that he was inspired by Soviet social and science films, animations and cassette tapes from an era long gone when assembling this EP. Feeling like a mixtape recorded on reel to reel then broadcast as rogue signal across vast continents, the subtitles of the CCCP EP form a gauzy world view lens; one skewed and saturated by feelings of joyful dread that encompasses the technological world of both our past, present and future. CCCP hazes into view like a time capsule opened for the first time and the dust which it brings. AM radio synths wash over bedroom percussive stanzas; a pulsating bassline tugs at nerves thought lost in the forming fog of recognition. The digi-tribalist rhythms of Downloading are undeniable and certainly capable of shaking both frigid databases and sweltering dancehalls alike to their core. This particular transmission sounds as if an android repurposed the Diwali riddim for an underwater Casio SK-1 drum circle. Itsnotaboutcomputers is perhaps the most introspective offering: low-slung but persistent drums accompany ascension-inducing synthesizer flourishes; a narrator giving insight to another time and state of being just out of reach. Next up it’s heads down in the dance business with Make_me_juice as disemboweled arpeggios swirl over a broken garage shuffle; post-junglist bass drops round out the proceedings and by this point we’ve started to speak new languages. Virtual Race excels at reconfiguring and restating the themes of the CCCP EP with a perfect cacophony of elements in which Computer Graphics operates at such full functionality. Dubbed out and punishing; here are those of lost hours in a field at 3AM, a reused bunker during peak time proceedings or even in the back of car at twilight just as the transmissions cease for the evening. released June 15, 2015

Greeen Linez - Blue Tomorrow (5:33) 24Bit The Calm is the third album from the duo of Chris Greenberg (from the British electronic pop band Hong Kong In The 60s) and UK-born/Tokyo-based DJ/producer A Taut Line (aka Matt Lyne, co-founder of the Diskotopia label). Following the anthemic dance, city-pop and muzak funk of their 2012 debut Things That Fade, and their kaleidoscopic, genre-spanning work with multiple collaborators on last year’s Izu King Street, with this album Greeen Linez close ranks and journey inwards. Inspired by the deep and introspective atmospherics conjured by producers such as Larry Heard, Future Sound Of London, Move D and Newworldaquarium, on The Calm Greeen Linez have tried to apply similar principles to their own signature sound. The album draws equally from the optimism and euphoria of Britain’s second Summer of Love, the swooning romanticism of Golden Age Hollywood and the soft-focus, impressionistic soundscapes of Pat Metheny and Mark Isham - yet all tinged with a melancholy sense of reality rarely living up to youthful dreams. The album begins with the duo’s first excursion into beatless ambience and ends with their most ambitious tracks so far - the two-part title epic and the florid aural melodrama of Blue Tomorrow - travelling in between from hyperreal braindance to fantasy TV movie score. The Calm is an album to soothe and stimulate, encouraging both escape and contemplation, and finding sources for deep listening in unexpected places. This summer, why not let Greeen Linez soundtrack your daydreams? released July 24, 2015

BD1982 - Rotary Drive (Myakkah Edit) (3:49) 24Bit Proceeding into the fall from a sweltering summer last inhabited by the epic Greeen Linez album The Calm, Diskotopia co-head BD1982 offers a 4 track EP titled Salience as a mood-altering supplement. The material here was inspired by the various neurophysical responses to environmental stimuli in everyday situations. BD1982’s sonic manifestation of this particular exploration of self is an organic progression from where last year’s Operratorr EP left off although new horizons are subtly breached and expanded upon in a skewed fashion befitting the Diskotopia lineage. The fluttering synths which open Spatial set an affable tone that carries throughout the proceedings even as a weighted bassline drags the journey into full subterranean depths. Spatial is what would arise on a spliced tape reel recorded during a twenty-four hour bashment rave held in a Nordic techno club during the darkest light of winter months. The broken pulsating funk of Physical presents a psychedelic turn of the corner in the mind’s eye. Traces of tribal percussion find themselves intertwined with phased Moog phrases and fused with Akai-indebted pattern formations. Physical manifests as a soundtrack to windmill routines at a b-boy battle held miles above the Bronx on a helicarrier made from obsolete Yamaha keyboards in an alternate version of 1996. There’s an undeniable aura of dread in the midst of Obeah Mirrors. A ghostly shell of garage slinks and slides around bursts of electricity that accentuate an incessant drive of mutated arpeggios. Running Obeah Mirrors in fine style is sure to cause trace transdimensional hieroglyphs to appear on the walls of any establishment in which it is unleashed. Myakkah finds his way back to Diskotopia by way of a sensual edit of Rotary Drive. A lived-in quality waxes the bloodshot lens here, lending the mind to wander to past days of loves both won and lost to the ether. Knocking kicks and agile claps tether a bubbling lead to a saturated body leaving the senses to take over mind, body and soul in a warehouse sense of salience. released September 26, 2015

Shy One - That Certain Something (4:49) 24Bit Diskotopia is elated to launch into 2016 with the indelible Other Side EP from the inimitable Shy One. In addition to hosting her always incredible radio show on Radar Radio, Shy One released both her debut EP and LP with DVA Music and was also featured on Big Dada’s Grime 2.0 compilation as well as the Diskotopia VA Vol.1 compilation back in 2012. Here the Other Side EP is a presentation of tracks in which Shy One conveys a sense of exile; a grey and green insight into a suburban life of living and working in solitude surrounded by flora and concrete. Other Side brings us down to an otherworldly cellar with hovering synths and a disembodied vocal chant that eases into a broken g-funk groove. Fit for any forward-thinking function, Shy One makes prime use of all-encompassing sub bass, nimble percussion and Sheffield-indebted bleeps to bring Other Side to another level of dissociative dancefloor immediacy. Moving the proceedings to carnival territory, Mic Man adopts a jump-up feel full of neon-flavoured rubbery synths, island percussion and a dash of Northern bassline that would sit right at home atop a bionic palm tree. Just as Mic Man says, “Don’t be standing back there like a plum man I wanna come out here and do my shit with my DJ!” The digi-calypso vibes of Beans are dashed with generous helpings of codeine-soaked boogie, bashment deconstructed riddims and an undeniable swing. Beans soundtracks both the warm up to an intense night on the horizon and concurrently smooths out the the toasted come-down hours later. Shy One swerves to the left a bit with That Certain Something as cerebral pads coalesce with transitory frayed electronics. Free-form in spirit yet tethered to this mortal coil by poetic percussion and heaving subs, That Certain Something invokes the spirits of generations of UK soundsystem culture and beyond. released April 14, 2016

Silvestre - Camisola dos Morcegos (3:39) 24Bit After debuting in 2015 with the Frank Pike EP, Lisbon born, London based artist Silvestre returns to Diskotopia with the Floresta EP; a kaleidoscopic and transcendental exploration inspired by the ecológico meets béton brut collision of natural and urban landscapes. Having recently launched the Padre Himalaya label with fellow producer and friend Renato, and performing live sets on NTS Radio, Silvestre has no trouble keeping busy with a dedication to his work. So much of Silvestre’s talent for textural detail within primal rhythmic workouts is on full display throughout the Floresta EP and at the same time feels like just the tip of an incredible iceberg of ideas. Playing with the idea of a chronologically void collage of multi-lingual dance music tropes, Silvestre pastes latin, techno, jazz and ambient loops on top of each other to create a coagulated fusion finally cut and formulated into a present-day club music framework. The Floresta EP provides a clear-cut model of the kind of work only achievable from a very engaging, enthralling and constantly evolving artist, and we at Diskotopia are very excited to be putting it out. Floresta delves into reductionist yet magnetizing club territory with dusty cross-rhythmic, cross-textural percussive phasing, sky-high shifting arpeggios and glass-cut pads cajoling together in full technicolor. The direction of the energy and fervor that the prismatic serpentine motifs generate is seemingly best suited for an ayahuasca spiritual awakening somewhere lost within the urban jungles of tomorrow’s yesteryear. Gosto de Ti heads deeper under the canopies with swelling synth work, driving tribal percussion and gyrating subs. As inebriating as it is steady, it's easy to get lost in the litany, but the tape-rewind switch provides enough punch to keep your wits about you while in the thick of all that is known to be present and what is not yet decided to come. Ride sounds like a woozy decaying end-of-night theme and the pulsing beginnings of a bright new dawn placed together in a concurrent paradox. Crushed and stretched descending choral pad sequences form a heady and womb-like enclosure which is then rotated and alchemized into ebbing and flowing crescendos for the multi-spirited tour guides of a future-past millennia. Camisola dos Morcegos closes out the Floresta EP on a triumphant and equally introspective note. Silvestre serves a diamond-chipped nod to hazy Detroit club nights circa 1992 wIth a Nintendo-64 indebted lead tragically beautiful enough to soundtrack any number of dancehalls from now to eternity. released April 29, 2016

BD1982 - Mbielu (4:43) 02. BD1982 - Bionic Marabou (4:13) 24Bit Continuing on from the exemplary Shy One and Silvestre EPs this year, label co-founder BD1982 shares a two-track single onDiskotopia just in time for a hazy summer reconnaissance. Having recently relocated back to Tokyo, both Mbielu and Bionic Marabou reflect the familiar but also the uncharted circumstances Jersey-born producer Brian Durr has been immersed in as of late. Taking cues from a notion of an amalgamous animal kingdom where both cryptids and studied species alike share an equal measure of reverence, both tracks on display here represent the vast known/unknown as well as an impartially skewed version of the natural world. Mbielu derives it’s name from the cryptid Mbielu-mbielu-mbielu, a Stegosaurus-like creature native to the Likouala region within the Republic of the Congo. Waves of psychedelic digi-chemtrails wash over densely layered thickets of shuffling percussion and kick drums. Live backchat echoes like incantatory ancient prayer through leaves of pixelated snare drums, all carried by a primal groove akin to a prehistoric beast trudging through overgrown analog moss. The curious textural plume of Bionic Marabou is due in part to its live recording and mixdown; awash with idiosyncratic cracks, fissures and sample-overlay artifacts. Decayed, hovering dread undercuts a club-ready bounce that reflects the marabou itself: a beautiful yet imposing avian capable of inspiring equal measures of awe and dismay. As always with BD1982's unique sound, it's impossible to pigeon-hole it into one genre - Mbielu sounds like a dancehall track spliced with shattered UK garage fragments and peeled warped techno, hastily taped together and thrown into a spinning candy-floss machine loaded with sand instead of sugar; Bionic Marabou - a VHS recording of that happening, played in reverse on a constantly melting TV.

A Taut Line - The Rouge (4:23) 24Bit Hot on the heels of the sweltering split single from BD1982, Diskotopia continue their stride into the 2016 sultry season with a 4-track EP from Diskotopia founder and label co-conspirator A Taut Line. 34 is a succinct and poignant aperçu of Matt Lyne’s provocative trajectory under the A Taut Line moniker, a stark as ever contrast to his work as Greeen Linez, but also featuring some of his most club-focused material to date. As with his past two solo LPs, Nitriding Portrait and Mutual Prints, A Taut Line has static yet complementary influences working in harmony to forge unique "dance music" juxtapositions. Traces of rave and jungle’s fractured past coalesce with freestyle and Belgian beat moods on EP opener Burleigh St. As sun-stroked breakbeats buckle and deflect around stratospheric synth pads, hollow kick drums navigate a chopped and quantized Long Island MC lost-in-time through Moroccan flutes and heavy dancehall pressures. Whilst revisiting the distorted-memory-of-mid-90s-handbag-anthems theme as heard on his 2011 track Luna 99, with Timeplaza A Taut Line delves a little deeper and heads into a subterranean abyss awash with chugging rhythms, dub-splashed chords, an acidic funked-out lead and strings that would leave a tear in LTJ Bukem’s eye. Pre-Millennium sci-fi crime vibes meet a Friday night out in the International Space Station rec room during a solar storm. The UK funky after too much syrup and high-grade spliff vibes of SJK Legal works as a perfect auditory cocktail for hazy summer days. Recreating the experience of a humid August crawl through the streets of Shinjuku, with the relentless mélange of sounds imposing from all directions. Multifarious video screen audio, matsuri percussion and kawaii bell motifs captured from inter-dimensional FM frequencies percolate over a bassline cut straight from the cloth of the ever mutating hardcore continuum. Deep but jagged house-not-house built for the late-night crew of millennials more inclined to construct neo-Mayan sundials than search the deep web for quasi-legal pharmaceutical remedies, The Rouge is a vow to the romance instilled into years of music built for the evening explorers of the world. Heaving and precise, the ghosts of 1993 come back in a vapor amidst the wails of a siren caught between memories of exasperation and ecstasy. released July 1, 2016

Seekersinternational - Side B (12:38) Diskotopia is elated to close out 2016 with a live-and-direct trajectile traced from Quezon City to East Richmond through to Tokyo as the inimitable Seekersinternational Presents the RaggaPreservationSociety EP. Self-described as “raw raggamuffin bizniz from a parallel dimension”, SKRS deliver eleven diamond-cut jewels born from a decades-long love of ragga jungle then sequenced into two mixtape-style A and B sides with accompanying digital-sliced tracks. Having melted minds and record players globally over the past several years, SKRS continue to thrill with their incendiary mutations of soundsystem-born musical exercises following incredible LPs on Bokeh Versions and Boomarm Nation. Throughout the proceedings of the RaggaPreservationSociety EP, SKRS lead an expedition through time, space and vibrational language like none has done before. With such an expansive and breathtakingly singular approach to an undertaking such as the RaggaPreservationSociety EP we thought it best to share the inspirations from the SKRS crew themselves. SKRS OG Papa Cool Breeze states: "These recordings were made at the unlikely convergence of London pirate radio transmissions, Filipino-Canadian mobile DJ crew gatherings and New-age music meditation communes. The sound palette may be familiar but the context and design are on some other sh*t. Previously known only in their own circles, peer-to-peer networks and Usenet newsgroups, we are now presenting them to a wider listening massive.” Respected ethnomusicologist, Sipreano (Grammy-nominated producer/archivist behind Light in the Attic Record's Native North America and Jamaica to Toronto compilations) reports: "We formed this project to archive and showcase works that widen our scope of understanding of this Ragga diaspora. Rather than a sterile preservation of established templates, the RaggaPreservationSociety aims at preservation-by-expansion; championing instead ragga jungle's intrinsic spirit of ghetto-futurism and back-a-yard innovation; simultaneously cultivating the roots while fostering new fruits.” The RaggaPreservationSociety EP is an exemplary showcase of the untestable might of Seekersinternational; psychedelically fluid by means of communication yet rock solid in its construction. Reductionist, poignant and deadly in delivery, the level of creative freedom by means of musical dialogue spoken by SKRS is wholeheartedly awed upon and applauded by Diskotopia. released November 4, 2016 Production : SKRSINTL Ethnomusicology : Sipreano Mastering : The Stunt Man Studio Property Manager : Kamandi Artwork : Mysteryforms x Matt Lyne Administration : Hashbrown Borough check : Quezon City - East Richmond - Tokyo

A Taut Line - Intertransmission (2:55) 12. A Taut Line - Estado Encontrado (5:10) 24Bit Following on from last year's Seekersinternational presents the RaggaPreservationSociety EP, the first Diskotopia release of 2017 is the 3rd solo album from label co-founder Matt Lyne under his A Taut Line moniker. More familiar to some as one half of Greeen Linez, Matt Lyne has also been producing very different sounds as A Taut Line for well over 10 years now. Distraction Provisions is his 3rd album release after 2013's Nitriding Portrait and 2015's Mutual Prints. Initially not made to evolve into an album, the early workings of this collection were emotional reactions to the bleak social and political situation that unfolded throughout last year, and you can hear expansions of some of the more listenable of these sketches on tracks like Estado Encontrado, m15ntet and Arriving at the Lake. However, as desolate as some of the moods are on here, last year was one of intense mixed emotions as Lyne's first child was born, and there are also moments of sheer beauty, joy and redemption on this album too – the lush-yet-grainy pad-wash of A Perpetual Medium and the luminous tropicália syrup-tech of The Soft Touch being two examples that reflect that. However, when the conflicting temperaments clash, the product is the brutal choler in tracks like Purest Health2 and the weird dismantled hardcore-dying-at-samba-parade mess of Intertransmission. Other notable tracks include the bleepy rave-tempo chalk dust electro number Hatsudai, which curiously illustrates an unexpected sense of optimism in its dancefloor rhythm, albeit murky and dripping in paranoia, that does stealthily lie in places throughout the album. This same optimism can be found in the locked middle section of FebruarySnow, even though frozen in the centre of metallophone-led icy dub-techno melancholy. But how to characterise the album as a whole? As Philip Sherburne wrote in Spin Magazine in 2013 of Nitriding Portrait - "What kind of music is this, exactly? Half a dozen listens in, and I’m still not entirely sure." - although Distraction Provisions has amalgamated mutant remnants of house, jungle, jazz funk, industrial, and new age 4th world neo-classicisms, once again, we're still not entirely sure either. released May 5, 2017

(3:28) 24Bit It is a distinct honour and privilege to welcome Wally Badarou to Diskotopia with The Unnamed Trilogy Vol.1; a collection of recent solo work presented for the first time as a limited edition vinyl and select digital release. Wally Badarou is a visionary musician who over the years has forged a history that is immensely storied, diverse and creatively rich. He has not only released timeless solo material such as the incredible Echoes LP in 1984 (part of which reached a new generation of music fans when the track Mambo was sampled for Massive Attack's Daydreaming), but has also recorded on classic albums with luminaries such as Grace Jones, Sly & Robbie, Mick Jagger, Fela Kuti, Robert Palmer, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru and Talking Heads to name just a few. Both co-founders of Diskotopia have been huge fans of Mr. Badarou's work since before the label's inception and are elated to present The Unnamed Trilogy Vol.1 to the world at large. Opening track Fisherman (I - Theme) rolls out with an assured strut that pulls you straight into a surging overflow of digi-funk bubble and laser-precise glide tactics. Infectious as it is fluid in its arrangements, Fisherman (I - Theme) is an excellent example of Wally Badarou's ubiquitous sound; highlighted here through the multi-timbral interlocking grooves that balance both the natural and synthetic elements seamlessly like the flow of ocean tides. Daiquiri Diaries (Vintage Extended) enters with a striking metallic riff before a poetic electric piano takes the lead over insistent drums, soaring strings and warm pad swells. Only a synthesizer specialist such as Badarou would be able to create comparable transcendental magic from such simplicity, transfixing the listener whilst giving a masterclass in restraint. Make no mistake however, this is late night celestial soul music for Balearic excursions into the outer mind's eye. The nautical beginnings of Awa develop effortlessly into convivial carnival vibes which could easily soundtrack any number of global gatherings. Combining field recordings of lapping waves, a fluid digital kalimba lead, expertly layered polyrhythmic percussion and sun-soaked flourishes throughout, Awa becomes near meditative in its effortless ebbs and flows. As The Unnamed Trilogy Vol. 1 comes to its close Higher Still … takes an introspective step to the side giving us a cinematically beautiful allegory for the modern age. Equal moments of reflection coincide with transformative key changes as we can equate our own journeys in life to the arrangement here: At once entered into existence in such a distinct manner to have then gone through irrevocable changes and thusly transformed into a new state of consciousness altogether, we remain Higher Still … released November 30, 2017

Ophelia marks Kym’s first release proper, and the artist’s unique brand of aqueous mutant-electro caught the attention of label heads A Taut Line & BD1982. The A side Ophelia (Floriography) is a minimal but hallucinatory dancehall riddim permeated through a crude electro membrane. Bouncy enough for the club, messed up enough for life in 2018. The 135bpm B side Tanka takes its cues equally from original 1980s Detroit electro and the millennial-era European revival and submerges the result into a kind of magnetically coated syrup designed to be smeared across Shibuya club floors.

Rain (3:46) 24Bit Transitioning from Kym Sugiru’s fractal debut single, Diskotopia is elated to present Aemong’s staggeringly imaginative debut LP, 1000. Currently based in Berlin, Aemong is comprised of members Henrique Uba and Yu-Ching Huang; from Brazil and Taiwan respectively. The amalgamation of their shared backgrounds, influences and sonic identities encompass exactly what Diskotopia has been about from day one: the juxtaposition of cultures, sounds and ideas to forge exciting new paths. Influenced by no wave, noise rock and legendary bands such as Fugazi and Big Black; Aemong had set out to build a denser sound with this album than with what they had done on their previously released material. The tracks comprising 1000 distill elements of new wave, dub, industrial and pop which are then meticulously siphoned into off-kilter compositions with mesmerizing effects. Unabashedly psychedelic, playful yet executed with deadly precision, Aemong have delivered a truly resounding body of work with the 1000 LP. Album opener Slug fizzles to life with sludgy steps lumbering through splashes of feedback before a cyclical distorted bassline props up Yu Ching’s dreamlike vocal. Chinese Tales is perhaps the most literal meeting of minds with both Henrique and Yu Ching offering lyrics in their native tongues set against a dub-refracted backdrop sounding like Mad Professor engineering for Sonic Youth. Other highlights include Mother Earth’s Twin where some of the aforementioned hardcore influences shine through, albeit in an extremely splintered, chopped and screwed sense; the séance-like Dead Ghost with its static and stuttering interference squealing around Yu Ching’s lullaby-like melodies; and Old Lady Sings which kicks off a textured two-stepping dub psych-out, as if Adrian Sherwood’s mixing desk was circuit-bent with Mogwai’s pedal rack. The album as a whole showcases Aemong’s penchant for layering dense, cavernous tones and loping siren confessions, whilst driving bass, drums and vocals provide the only thing keeping our collective heads above water. With this paragon in polychromatism and disorientating cross-pollination, Aemong have succeeding in creating an impressive and incredibly apt climate barometer for those struggling to keep afloat in the modern world. released March 23, 2018 Written, performed & produced by Yu Ching Huang & Henrique Uba.

BD1982 - C THRU (3:17) 24Bit For the third release this year, Diskotopia co-founder BD1982 returns after a two-year absence from full solo offerings with an exploratory mini-LP of psychedelic warehouse soul entitled Decades Tempest. Deeper digging into personal influences, distilling inspiration from the otherworldly comic artwork of visionaries such as Bill Sienkiewicz and Barry Windsor-Smith, and a methodical exploration of the intricacies of composing on an MPC2000XL were key catalysts in the creation of Decades Tempest. With some of the tracks being built on sketches dating back to 2003, the results are an epoch-eluding hybrid sound of kaleidoscopic and oscillating sci-fi Krautrock, choppy chrome percussion séances, murky New-Wave synth portraits, malfunctioning MIDI incantations, and metaphysical gothic vocal whispers. An extremely unique and strikingly genre-defying piece of work, the ten tracks comprising this mini-LP are the most honest and organic BD1982 material yet to be released. The raw machine-jam-session of Chrome20 opens Decades Tempest with a stark phased battery of motorized staccato-arps, industrial-strength drum punches and breathy murmurs recalling the sighting of a floating metallic orb in a Tokyo park on 20th June 2016. Wind Rider is immediately prominent as we instantly become of aware of BD1982 exploring a new kind of chromatic noise-pop trajectory not found in his previous work. Unrelenting distorted square wave patterns are atonally painted over each other in a manic state of vocoded urgency; the resulting cacophony creating an impression of a turbine powered car-stereo anthem fit for neon-lit night drifts or long stretches across the Siberian tundra. The washed out cybernetic dub of Madripoor Nights bends and weaves around a strident kind of trans-dimensional exotica, elements of which leak into the broken holographic geography video projections of Sovereign Cities. We Used 2 B 1 sounds like the complete audio of a train documentary transcribed in full on a Casio graphic calculator, with disembodied vocals and soundsystem-shattering basslines on channels two and three respectively. The fuzzy safari haze of Soul Jumper offers a brief respite before the ruff & ready polyrhythmic workouts of Last Rites, Catacombs and K-12 Cypher feed dedicated BD1982 followers with more familiar territory, albeit a perfected and perverted variety. C THRU provides another example of the kind of unacquainted style of composition we are lucky to get to hear from BD1982 here; a marooned 21st century ballad that washes over in waves like the hidden oceans of Enceladus; a serene harbored relief following the tempest of a decade. released April 20, 2018

Crysta Nagahori - Do U Believe in Pure Love? (4:34) 02. Crysta Nagahori - Half Moon (5:35) 03. Crysta Nagahori - Cut Glass (5:23) 24Bit We are happy to announce the next Diskotopia release of 2018, Pure Half Glass, 3 deep cuts from Japan based producer Crysta Nagahori. The A-Side Do U Believe in Pure Love? is a kind of messy hybrid of industrial and slowed down happy hardcore. Mangled breakbeats, inspiriting organ pads, paper-thin synth bass arpeggios and detuned piano chords come together to create a delirious contemporary quasi-anthem. We don’t know exactly what this really is, or how to dance to it (if it was indeed made for that intention) but its sense of euphoria is contagious. Half Moon is a hallucinogenic magnetite deep house number. Heavily worn and hazy it has a very reverie-esque quality to it. Like your memory of how the club scene sounded in that film your mate’s older brother videoed off the TV and you subsequently borrowed, except in reality it sounded nothing like this at all. Cut Glass has a heavy 80s Manchester influence, and the live post-punk percussion and bass almost totally obscure the four-to-the-floor 808 kicks propelling the rhythm through new age synth clouds. A heady psychoactive yet foot-shuffling closing number to an exceptionally divergent mini EP. released June 8, 2018

Messiah Syndrome - Your Whole Style (4:48) 02. Messiah Syndrome - Roses XVI (5:36) 24Bit Somewhat out of sync with the usual seasonal sun-kissed releases of the summer, we are excited to present two sweat dripping neo-industrial belters from new artist project Messiah Syndrome. The tweaked out mechanical electro pressure of Your Whole Style makes for an intriguing and off-kilter A Side. Motoric drums carry a tottering analog Yamaha bassline through waves of breathy dub-echo eupnea, narrowly dodging the falling battery of digi-metal stabs. Front 242, Killing Joke et al inspiration is infused with a dash of a Unity Sounds kind of lexicon to help create the standout barbiturate-induced atmosphere of the track. Roses XVI is a heavy EBM-techno workout fit for Lourdes divination-raves. Driving and relentless chrome percussion wrestles with a pounding bassline in a cage lined with Anglo-Dutch 90s arp work. Intense, a bit trancey, quite probably the hardest thing we’ve ever released, Messiah Syndrome executes compelling but clammy dark wave certainly not suitable for family barbecues. released July 17, 2018

BD1982 - One (3:53) 24Bit Returning with a follow-up to his kaleidoscopic mini-LP Decades Tempest, released earlier this year, Diskotopia co-founder Brian Durr offers up the Arclight EP, four brand new arresting tracks under his BD1982 moniker. A lot more than just an expanded cadence to the full-length, here BD1982 builds on and evolves his unique brand of MPC-indebted warehouse soul and delves further into salient juxtapositions of various movements including - but not limited to - broken beat, new wave, industrial, dub and pop. Opener Arclight UV is a choice cut of sci-fi soul promptly obliterated with a cascade of jolting heavyweight percussion. The tight machine funk of Miracles shudders with its packed to the brim coltish energy. In Maglev, we are presented with a new kind of negative-zone dancehall propelled by heaving and glistening rhythms patterns that tear up the lino flooring. One closes the EP with lush buoyant synthesizer drones that congeal into a running stream of plasticized tribal percussion and robotic meditations on finding love in the age of an imminent global-scale meltdown. released September 28, 2018 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron

Myakkah - Nite Thru (4:02) Myakkah returns to Diskotopia after a six-and-a-half-year proper release absence with five steel-forged cuts compiled as the Ascension Procession EP. The long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s esteemed Warehouse Soul EP, builds on the potent fusion of retro-futurism broken beat and DAT house of the debut, and injects a large dose of ectopic sound system flex into the blend. The ragga jungle inspired Always Fwd generates a compelling magnetic field of energy with tropical and bhaṅgṛā beat poles countering a solid soundbwoy core; the resulting dynamic force is impossible to resist. Deployed like a kind of uprock response, Never Backwards flips the opener’s vibe into a cypher-center heads-down stoic shuffle, with added droplets of EBM percussion and deep house keys falling like beads of sweat hitting the dancefloor. Title track Ascension Procession takes on a more subliminal resonance with astrological and lysergic ruminations ominously threaded through fragmented pulsating drums and Carpenter-esque VHS synthwork. Smoke Clearz vaporizes into and out of existence as an MPC workout/love letter to the years of cut-and-paste beat production. Finally, Nite Thru continues the drive but on a silkier, funkier palette; shades of Detroit electro, London nu-jazz and Jersey club percolate in a dimly lit alcove somewhere on the astral plane. A vibrant closure to this inspired collection and highly anticipated homecoming. released November 30, 2018 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron

Silvestre - Ir A Sagres (5:34) 02. Silvestre - Deptford Bus (6:24) 03. Silvestre - RC Surfer (5:39) 04. Silvestre - Everybody Is Happy (5:40) Diskotopia is extremely proud to kick-start 2019 with Girar, a four-track EP of new kaleidoscopic productions from Lisbon-born, London-based producer Silvestre. Silvestre is no stranger to Diskotopia, this being his third release with the label, debuting with the gritty noise-and-thump Frank Pike EP in 2014, and following that up with the more buoyant, latinate Floresta EP in 2016. In addition to producing, Silvestre also co-runs the Padre Himalya imprint, putting out 2018’s critically acclaimed Focus EP from tombak virtuoso Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, Renato’s 2016 Alo Alo, plus his own Sport Theories and All The Things 12”s. With the Girar EP, Silvestre continues to embrace the sonic culture-frictions between his home country and his adopted one. In doing so, he has created a pan-continental sound in which coarse-grained Ibero-percussive threads intertwine with digi-tropical synthetic tapestries; testimony of a truly unique artist in the modern current of electronic music. Opening with the bubbling Ir a Sagres, Silvestre constructs a basement-born psychotropic rhumba groove, strapped with fluttering arpeggios, nimble conga tappings and a firmly locked-in bassline. Following on, Deptford Bus is a woozier, mid-tempo spliff-house roller, stripped of the flora to leave a simple set up of haunted pads, crisp toms, and a deep sense of unease. RC Surfer is perhaps the finest example of a soundclash of reggaeton, shoegaze and dub put to wax in recent memory. Here, Silvestre provides an ethereal soundscape with images of late-summer wining in city squares materializing through the cracks of the stoic riddims. The Girar EP rounds out with the pseudo-rapturous Everybody Is Happy, a slice of breakbeat-house that nods lovingly to the halcyon days of rave past whilst holding a mirror at the present day with an unabating painted-on smile released January 25, 2019 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron

Memotone - Luaka (7:34) 02. Memotone - Sidewise Dub (4:54) 24Bit Diskotopia continues the momentum of 2019 with a bracing and weighty single from Memotone; the Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer William Yates. Previously releasing music on labels such as Black Acre, Bedouin and Project Mooncircle, Memotone performs live with a full hardware-based setup and also records under different aliases such as Halfnelson. For his debut on Diskotopia, Memotone serves up two broken dubwise abstractions that glisten brilliantly like gemstones mined from the label’s existing subconscious. Yates notes that “organic growth” was a driving force in the creation of these two pieces, and the twisting nodes of the venation storytelling unfurl like entwined vines and branches. Leading off with ‘Luaka,’ Memotone melds modern and classical instruments together in a sultry Fourth World fusion that takes its cues equally from Tarkovsky cinema as it does from Asian minimalist composition. Synthetic atmospherics, submerged spring-reverb percussion, no-wave bass and funk clavichord playfully interweave, whilst the textures and timbres of clarinet and guzheng create lingering drones and droplets, like a moisture left hanging in the air. The result feels like an illusory Kitaro-inspired Jon Hassell, Labradford and Dabyre collaborative portrait of a Sino-tropical known unknown. A mesmerizing and welcome seven-minute-thirty-four-second deliverance from our collective material existence. Drawing inspiration from classic 60s and 70s Jamaican productions, ‘Sidewise Dub’ is a prime demonstration of how Memotone can utilize his mixing desk as an instrument to forge a shimmering chamber of soundsystem microstudy. Fractal dub chords ricochet while modulated hi-hats ping like the propellers of lost airships coasting through the Bermuda Triangle; all the while awash with undulating pads and heaving sub bass. Forlorn synth melodies chart a path through these torrential sonics that are certain to leave residue long after dissipation. released March 15, 2019 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron

BD1982 - 7th Door (4:18) 24Bit Diskotopia co-founder BD1982 returns for the Spring of 2019 with the five-track 7th Door EP; a tempo-fluid collection that highlights the innate nuances of Brian Durr’s ever-changing sound in motion. Continuing down the microdose-hallucinatory path, first stridden in 2018’s Decades Tempest mini-LP, then further explored in the Arclight EP, BD1982’s productions across the 7th Door EP delve deeper again into the artist’s exuberance for merging disparate sonic fields. The result is a transcendent yet grounded exposition of original sound, that stands proudly on its own in the contemporary music world. The undulating groove of ‘Snowblinded’ is touched with an otherworldly air; strands of kwaito, calypso and late 80s Sheffield bleep techno fuse with a broken digi-tribalist tuffness. A modulating staccato bassline and narcotic vocal add additional contrasting layers of dread to the staggered pacing. Taking on more of a soundclash-prepped demeanor, ‘Find A Way’ gels woken-consciousness synth pads and buoyant beacons of sine wave within an interlocked but angular MPC rhythm shockout. A Futurist-Amazonian club tool suitable for both dark basements and glass-floored observation platforms. Manic yet meditative, ‘The Loa’ is a broken chamber of electronic funk that launches melting drums, cosmic synth-cussion and metamorphic vocals to the farthest reaches of the solar system. Hints of early grime, nu-jack swing, and dub coalesce into something hard to grasp entirely - like a dream half-remembered during a headrush experienced watching an orchestra tune up. With percussion sampled from teenage drum machine experiments on cassette circa 1996, the instrumental ‘Clarity’ provides anything but. Ingrained senses of both nostalgia and longing are carried and amplified through a soaring laser-point synth melody and half-mumbled phone messages left from days of future past. The EP’s title track ‘7th Door’ is one of the most cinematic, expansive and driving experiments yet in BD1982’s constantly evolving domain. Drawing slightly more influence from the 80s EBM and industrial music that soundtracked his formative years, a striking staccato synthesized string pattern careens ever forward, while haunted electric piano and overdriven bass provide a prescient level of transcendental accompaniment over dubbed and processed drums. Treated metallic vocals narrate of a “mid-day sun gleaming down,” that “she spoke in words of yesterday” reciting over a haunting yet hopeful closure to this latest chapter of Durr’s warehouse soul. released May 3, 2019 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron

Greeen Linez - April AM (5:23) 24Bit We at Diskotopia are extremely proud and excited to announce the return of Greeen Linez and the release of their 4th album, Strange Energy. This the first proper new material from Matt Lyne and Chris Greenberg’s Greeen Linez project in over 4 years. For an extensive period of time following 2015’s The Calm LP, adjusting to shifting life events took them away from working together on music, but the Cambridge/Tokyo duo returned to writing and producing with renewed motivation in 2018. The intervening years between albums, and the changes these brought, both for the duo personally and for the world in general, have left their mark on the music that makes up Strange Energy. Largely absent this time are the high-gloss city pop and euphoric rave influences of many of their best-known productions. In their place comes a more honest and mature sound, in conjunction with a return to the spare, nocturnal atmospherics of early tracks such as Moonlight Affair and City Cell; whilst the lingering sense of sadness and loss that always hovered over the duo’s previous music, even at its most ecstatic points, comes to the fore on this album. By allying this more sombre direction to a mechanistic Eurobeat pulse, Greeen Linez aimed to convey a new sense of resolution, reflecting both the oppressive weight of anxiety and the seeming futility that modern life exerts on individuals; along with the personal struggle to cope with and combat this reality. Despite these changes in sound and approach, Strange Energy actually begins right where The Calm left off - opening with a sequel to the earlier album’s heart-tugging closer Blue Tomorrow, amplifying even further that track’s sweeping, downcast romanticism. From there Strange Energy travels through gauzy electro, swirling raincoat rock, shuffling subterranean pop and windswept Balearica, before climaxing with the epic one-two punch of Beneath Lake Noir’s hypnotic Berlin School sequences and the stratospheric Frankfurt-via-Rimini title track. Following this peak of intensity, the album ends with something of a return to the breezy earlier Greeen Linez sound that fans of Things That Fade and Izu King Street will hopefully embrace. These wistful final two tracks offer a glimmer of hope amidst the dystopian melancholy that characterises the Strange Energy LP as a whole. released September 6, 2019 All tracks written and produced by Chris Greenberg and Matt Lyne Artwork by Matt "A Taut Line" Lyne Mastering by Nick Barron @ The Tenth Egg

Ando Laj - Dous One (3:54) 24Bit Diskotopia winds down 2019 with an exciting label debut from Toronto-based electronic producer Ando Laj. Delivering four beguiling compositions of salient world-building sonics, Ando Laj showcases a unique sound here across Isle, a collection of tracks inspired by the magic and unstable moments found within bootleg live audience recordings. Ando Laj seeks to recreate such transient and electrifying arrangements by utilizing unpredictable sound sources and unexpected sequencing. The results present themselves as hypnagogic side-steps that burrow deep into the psyche, left open to interpretation by each individual listener. Opening with a chalky and broken percussion workout, Dog Acid soon folds itself into a spatial discipline that seems to drift between states of wakefulness. Cirrostratus washes of synths cleanse the raucous nature of Ando Laj's curious drum programming before culminating in a muggy 303-drenched system error. Emaciated and decaying primal rhythmic blasts of noise kickstart Clear into motion before an out-of-body bassline synth lead earworms itself into the subconscious. Rising like a plateau formed from an underground volcanic eruption, it's not long before the magma-ridden traces previously present return to claim this composition back unto the shifting Earth. Spa shifts the nature of what's come before by juxtaposing Bristolian dread drums & bass with heady atmospherics into a parallel fray that's intermittently imitated with a series of binary spasms. Dous One acts as a kind of epilogue - fusing elements breached previously across Isle into a meditative, Y2K-Chicago recalling downtempo moment of reflection and potential edification. An inspiring collection of Major Force evocative flipped mutant techno with a back-room-of-the-pub attitude; perfect for off-kilter club sets and on-kilter Diskotopia release binges. released November 29, 2019 Artwork by A Taut Line Mastered by Nick Barron
