Mix Of The Day: Rødhåd @ Nation of Gondwana (22nd Jul 12)

Those of you that have been following the blog for a while will know that we're big fans of the Berlin party throwers that call themselves Dystopian, so when they uploaded a 2 1/2 hour mix from one of the their residents, Rødhåd, we knew it was going to make for a special afternoon's listening.

The mix is a live recording of his set at the Nation Of Gondwana festival, in Berlin last July, and covers what feels like the entire history of techno. You can download or stream the mix from the soundcloud player below

Stallion [Stallion 001]

We've just discovered a new label coming out of Berlin entitled Stallion. Distributed by Hardwax, it's an anonymous project of uncompromising techno. The first EP contains 4 tracks on the vinyl with an additional 2 locked grooves. Comprising of tough basslines, furious percussion, piercing stabs, industrial overtones and drifting melodies.Tthere's a dancefloor weapon for all occasions. Check out the samples below

The EP is available in all the good record stores and we expect it won't be available digitally, so wax is your only option. This might not be about for long though, juno has already sold out so don't hesitate in grabbing this one.

Truss - Ganymede [Perc Trax 055]

It's time for a new release from our favourite London based label, Perc Trax, by one of our previous Slash Dot Dash guests, Truss. It's first appearance on the label from the Welsh born, London based producer since his 2010 'Osbasten' EP. Inbetween he's had great success, most notably, with his EP on Sigha's Our Circula Sound label as well as remixes for Perc (with Sigha) and the debut release for our friends over at EarToGround.

'Ganymede' displays just how far Truss has come since his last Perc Trax EP. Using his extensive knowledge of the history of techno to combine that with modern methods and idealism's to create something fresh and original. The title track is a minimalist bass heavy thumper which encompasses Truss signature acid stylings. His second offering 'Hackney' is an uncompromising throw back to the illegal East London raves. Stripped down to it's bare bones, it's acid rhythms provide an accurate representation of the state of UK techno.

Remixes come from label boss, Perc, and rising techno star, with labels like Horizontal Ground and Semantica, Skirt. On 'Ganymede' Perc adds layers of organic percussion where as skirt takes us on a more deeper atmospheric trip. Check out the samples below

Truss - Ganymede (Perc Trax) - preview by Perc

The vinyl will be in the shops on the 14th September and will be available digitally (with a bonus Perc Dub Mix of 'Ganymede') two weeks later on the 28th September. More info on Perc Trax can be found on their Facebook Fan Page. Or those of you Twitter can follow Perc Trax Here and Truss Here
