Review: By now we know that Oskar Offermann is a bit of a Frankfurter albeit Robert Johnson legend. His next offering for the label keeps the guy's sense of humour in check with Pleasures Of Stupidity - that he takes off with via a cheeky dose of acid in "Mucho Stupido" - classic. Slamming down some harder drums and a darker, gothic and post punk vibe in "Break Your Face", the Offermann turns up the heat in "Ending Chapters" - bringing out the deepness most in this track (that you can still somehow hear dwelling in the others). It's easy to imagine all of these numbers going down perfectly on a smokey dancefloor as the sunrises and the night ends.

Review: Austria-based Jorkes co-runs the Freeride Millenium label with her partner Paris Boehm. Her Sweet Dreams EP showed the many different sides of her sound; a provocative work centered around issues such as gender, identifying as queer and egalitarian attitudes - and here are the remixes. Alinka (Twirl) provides an acid soaked remix of the title track, ROTCIV always delivers particularly with his euphoric dark disco rework of "You Will Be Mine" and New Hook's lo-slung chug perspective of "Robot Lover" calls to mind Damon Jee's work as Nozz.

Review: Berlin-based Irishman Mano Le Tough has notched up releases on some admirable labels over the last decade - Permanent Vacation, Pampa and Internasjonal included - but this four-tracker marks his first outing on Live at Robert Johnson. It's a fine EP all told, with the experienced producer delivering ultra-immersive, eyes-closed deep house that sounds as good through headphones as it does over a booming club soundsystem. He first serves up hypnotic, bass-heavy grooves and melancholic melodies on 'Weather Master', before reaching for eccentric synthesiser lead lines, crunchy machine drums, jazzy bass, spacey chords and lilting lead vocals on 'Holographic Witness'. Elsewhere, 'Kakooja' is a bouncy and off-kilter fusion of nu-disco and deep house elements, while 'Free Floating By' is an ultra-woozy, sunrise-ready deep house shuffler.

Review: Daniel Klein's ascent under the SIRS alias continues apace, as he returns to Live at Robert with what the label has described as "a utopian (or more likely dystopian) ode to space travel". In its original form (track one), 'Travel To HDF.3YD' is a high-octane, Italo-disco-influenced slab of spiralling space disco perfection rich in clipped, Chic-style guitars, eyes-closed solos, sci-fi synths and driving, arpeggio style sequenced bass. It comes backed by a pair of tasty remixes - a darker, more psychedelic-sounding revision from Budinho and a brilliantly stripped back, Krautrock-tinged peak-time take courtesy of Panthera Krause - and two bonus cuts: a short spoken-word piece ('Intro') and the colourful Italo-disco cheeriness of 'Summer Desire'.

Review: Acclaimed duo Alessandro Parlatore and Marcello Giordani, aka Marvin & Guy, follow up a great run of releases on Permanent Vacation to present their first release for Live At Robert Johnson, on which they collaborate with another dynamic Italian act. The result is three electrifying tracks: it's good old-fashioned Italo vibes all the way on the euphoric "Save Me" (feat. Hard Ton) Disco Mix, and then you're shuffled aboard the acid express for the strobe-lit Club Mix. Finally there's the neon-lit night moves of "Supported By Your Favorite DJ".

Review: Flug 8 is the alias of German producer Daniel Hermann, known for his releases on Disko B, Doxa Records, Ransom Note, and Acid Pauli's Smaul Recordings. His latest offering Enroute was recorded in complete isolation during the lockdown in his studio situated in the outskirts of Frankfurt, near a forest. It his most ambient work to date, featuring a superb selection of dark, droning and atmospheric works, with the addition of some experimental electronics ("Intercontinental"/"Cross Range Capabilities") and Glok's rework of "Bouncing Rays" turning it into an understated piece of minimal techno.

Review: Johannes Albert has long been the kind of producer whose music blurs the boundaries between genres, in his case nu-disco, Italo-disco, proto house and jacking Chicago house. This hybrid, synth-heavy sound is explored in four different ways on Albert's latest outing for Live at Robert Johnson. There's a throbbing, alien-sounding 21st century Italo-disco romp (the well-named title track); a squelchy and melodious chunk of analogue nu-disco cheeriness ('Dorschd'); a bouncy, rubbery and surprisingly aggressive chunk of 8-bit electrofunk/acid house fusion ('Wimbledon'); and a pitched-down chunk of electro-not-electro that comes smothered in glistening electronics and glacial synthesizer lines.

Review: Wir Sind Die Neue Zeit - which roughly translates in English to We Are The New Time - sees Live At Robert Johnson usher in a new anonymous project full of urgency and that killer new wave sound. A real darkwave disco burner to lift the roof that brings to mind DAF inspirations, there's an undeniable post punk quality on offer here with its stomping four-to-the-floor drums, backbeat snares, reverberating claps and ringing, bell-like percussion. Introduce that searing synth, edgy vocals and badass melodies, and you've got yourself an autumnal hit ready for the clubs - straight outta Frankfurt.

Review: Get yourself acquainted with Llewellyn, the production alias of Martin Enke who's solo pursuits and Lake People collaboration can be found already on labels like Uncanny Valley, Kann Records, Permanent Vacation, Mule Musiq - and as Llewellyn on Riotvan. Recapture The Past elevates the project's profile through its release on Live At Robert Johnson that brings a synth saturated, '80s, Moroder-esque and discofied night driving sound to the Frankfurt label. Get your rock snares and arpeggiated basslines outta "The Final Essence" - our highlight - next to some proto-type happy house in "Recapture The Past". "Philly C Inside" offers a melodic and percussion heavy combination of stunts with "Simshit" flirting with computer games sounds and Cruisin' USA soundtracks.

Review: To the Robert Johnson club, Andrew Weatherall was one of the Frankfurt institution's most beloved residents. 'Lifesaver 4' is a compilation dedicated to the memory of the veteran DJ, featuring young talents and seasoned companions that have paid their musical tribute in order to commemorate the club's 21 year anniversary. Highlights not limited to: Perel's psychedelic off-kilter opener "Feuer & Wasser", the low slung sunset sounds of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara on "Before I Let You Go", club mainstay Gerd Janson delivering a typically neon-lit rendition of Portable's "Unity", the surprising addition of nearby Offenbach-based talent Cedric Dekowski on the afterhours minimal funk of "Livius" and Fort Romeau delivering his idiosyncratic style of hypnotic house on "Another Dymention". "Fail we may, sail we must".

Review: Davis a key figure of Sao Paulo's strong techno and house scene and a member of the collective behind the underground warehouse event series ODD. On his second EP for Frankfurt institution Live At Robert Johnson, Davis brings together breakbeat and acid with his trancy signature synthwave melodies. "Ordinary Sleep" has a noirish, moody and slow burning vibe that is perfect for setting the mood in the early evening or the AM hours alike, the emotive electro as heard on "Different Angle" takes aspects of a classic sound while giving it a fresh modern interpretation and "Quantum Consciousness" is a throwback to Chicago's first wave in all its gritty dusted down attitude: think Adonis or Ralphi Rosario.

Review: Feel Live is southern Italian DJ/producer Massimiliano Pagilara's third full-length for Frankfurt institution Live At Robert Johnson, following up 2011's Focus On Infinity and With One Another - released in 2014. Recorded between Los Angeles, Portland and his base in Berlin as well as at airports and on intercontinental flights, it is his most playful and imaginative work to date -featuring a variety of bold and stylish sonic narratives. Featuring vocals by Private Agenda (the lo-slung "Winter In Los Angeles"), Peaking Lights' Indra Dunis (the neon-lit disco antics of "Trust The Direction In The Wind") and the inimitable Fort Romeau on the tripped-out chilltronica of "Floating Room".

Review: Like a long and blurry session at the storied Robert Johnson club, Time Travel brings the listener on a real musical journey. It moves from the low-slung disco of Massimiliano Pagliara's "Sometimes at Night" into the deep, ponderous house of Portable and Maximillion Dunbar, moving into more dance floor focused grooves thanks to Benedikt Frey and Orson Wells before Frankfurt DJ Roman Flugel drops the brilliant wide screen electro of "Girls With Status". While Time Travel does largely document music emanating from the German city, it also goes back to the 80s to include the eternal Italo classic, "Flucht" by Zwischenfall.

Review: It's been a fair few years now since Italian producer Massimiliano Pagliara, famed for his analogue-heavy blends of bright synthesizer melodies, pop hooks, Chicago house grooves and robust acid lines, relocated from Italy to Berlin. It's obviously been a fruitful move, as this second full-length - his first dropped in 2011 - is mostly made up of collaborations with locally based producers. Norwegian exile Telephones lends a hand on the deliciously Balearic "Long Distance Call", with one-time NYC resident Lee Douglas recalling his TBD work with Justin Vandervolgen on the murky acid assault that is "Fall Again". Elsewhere, you'll find a range of moods, ranging from the enveloping power house of "Native Tribes of Jupiter" (a hook-up with Credit 00), to the dreamy synth-pop of "With One Another".
