Reigniting Acid House for 2020 Truncate delivers this searing incitement of riotous behaviour in under a quick-fire five minutes. Powered by pulsating drum machines against a series of intensely demanding, caustic tweaks and bleeps this unrelenting sequence is both seductively addictive and forward-thinking in execution. DJ Haus provides an excellent remix building upon what went

Steve Darko returns to Dirtybird with two explosive cuts that both make the grade. That’s Hot, featuring Big J & oonagi, is simply too tempting to ignore with its sleazy, late-night grooves plus sassy vocal lines suggesting you engage in something you really shouldn’t. Driving beats and dirty bass are offset by chiming percussion, alongside

Sounding like a blast of wild abandon the title track, which ignites this set of four extended pieces from Japan’s Jazz scene of the late seventies, epitomises thoughts of time and space. Originally released in 1979 on cult imprint ALM this sequence of events travels the highs and lows of the music as equally demonstrated

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Behnam & Mehran. Tell us about how you first met and then decided to produce together? We met over 12 years ago in Vancouver, Canada through a very special mutual friend who told both of us separately we would really get along due to our obscure sense of humour. From the

My Friendly Fire opens with additive hi-hats, treated stabs which undulate in truly funky ways, plus an immediate sense of the moment. Next, Takes Time again serves up evocative

I guess you either love it or you don’t. And I have always loved this sound. Hot Hi-Nrg in the shape of Discoland has it all going on from the sassy synthesized riffs, and beautiful Bobby O percussion, to the bold bass syncopation across some six plus minutes of decadent pleasure. One mix. Free download.

This sounds like everything at once. Obscure, dark, and temptingly rich, and yet absolutely entertaining as the treated statement Do You See Yourself works its way into warped dissolution. Dissolving time right before your eyes as Nark sequences trippy, evolving synth lines against a funky shuffle of drums which combine to heighten a tense sense

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Alessandro. Your new album Algida Bellezza is a stunning piece of work which appears on the label you originally founded Glacial Movements. Can you recall the decision to name the imprint itself and why you choose that particular reference? I would like first of all to thank you for this invitation
