The Awesome Soundwave label will start 2020 as it means to go on: with an essential new album from Honeysmack that once again raises the bar for Carl Cox’s influential label. Honeysmack Releases “Post Acid” on February 28th.
Recorded live over two days in Coxy’s El Rancho studio, the album is an amalgamation of expansive modular sounds, the likes of which were carefully edited into what you hear now. This truly is an album that bares all the hallmarks of a producer who is currently working on a PHD in acid techno and improved electronic music.
Legendary UK musician, producer, and DJ Andrew Weatherall passed away this week aged 56.
Weatherall was a linchpin of British popular music at a time when its very definition was being written. Highly respected as an artist constantly pushing the envelope in dance music, he believed and lived by the notion that this music could be more than was ever imagined.

UMEK has put his stamp on electronic music as one of techno’s most influential artists, having a legacy that spans over two decades including many anthemic tracks. His new two track “Cybernetic Implant” release certainly seems to be an example of the aforementioned, as he is currently positioned No.1 in the techno sales chart on Beatport, so is in direct competition with himself to steal pole position.
With a revolving door of new music, it seems he rarely takes a break between releases, and is in constant competition with himself. Always trying to go one up on his previous tracks, in a never-ending cycle of self-improvement.
Symmetric and Future of Matter combine for a 6-track EP titled “Between Two Thoughts” on Christian Gerlach’s Lanthan.audio imprint that includes 4 originals and remixes by Enos and My Flower & Darse.
Enjoy our premiere of “Flesh Uncovered” from the EP below.
On their stunning new album Made Me Feel, Fabrikate take a trip back to the glory days of disco, a time when love was the answer, inclusion was the only message worth spreading and everyone was invited.
