Review: Rodion is back with "Alle Der Kosmonauten". The original is a cosmo-psychedelic journey track supported by some sweet auto-tune vocals, for fans of Rebolledo or Man Power. The Lauer remix is all that you'd expect and more: his catchy retro sensibilities are complimented by some sweet 303 acid on this total epic. Finally the Heretic remix is rolling peak time tech house with a good injection of funk with its rolling bassline and druggy synth leads plus the vocals get properly vocoded this time around. Sick!

Review: Fred Berthet is probably better known for his re-edit and cut-up house tracks under the DJ Steef alias. Here, the Frenchman uses his given name to deliver a lesson in dark, atmospheric, shuffling nu-disco in the typical Nein mode. While "Tri Bal" - all off-kilter drum machine percussion, intoxicated electronics and moody spoken word vocals - is rather fine, it's actually a little overshadowed by the accompanying remix package. There's a delicious, acid-fuelled, psychedelic nu-disco "remake" from Permanent Wave, and a snappy, strangely hooky interpretation from Alda. Best of all, though, is the version from Test Pressing's Apiento and LX, whose stunning nine-minute workout includes a brilliant, extended ambient breakdown, clear early '90s bleep techno influences, and a groove that sounds like Nitzer Ebb after a fistful of anti-depressants.

Review: Having previously plied his trade on the Tunnyl label he established last year, Oli Warriner has been snapped up by Nein Records. The Newcastle-based DJ/producer is a perfect fit for Tronik Youth's label, as the chugging, trippy, slightly psychedelic "Twelve Young Sycamores" - all undulating electronics, chugging beats and intelligent techno melodies - so aptly proves. "Tropical Slow Dance" is slightly breezier but no less evocative, with Warriner making great use of melancholic melodies and his usual analogue-sounding electronics. The remixes are, predictably, pretty solid, too, with the Elizabeth Collective's intoxicating, late night interpretation of "Tropical Slow Dance" standing out.

Review: During 2015, few labels could out-chug the releases of cosmically inclined, leftfield disco stalwarts Nein. To prove this point, they're ending the year with a particularly heady, psychedelic disco concoction from Berlin-based Freudenthal. "Occult Perigrination" is something of a triumph, offering an intoxicating blend of Middle Eastern influences, Psychik Warriors Ov Gaia electronics, spooky sounds and trip inducing builds. The accompanying remix package is undeniably strong, too, with Front Du Cadueax getting all tribal, dubbed-out and hypnotic, as if channeling the energy of some kind of obscure voodoo ceremony. If you're looking for something heavier and denser, then Indigo Vontier's exotic re-make should float your boat.

Review: Tronik Youth's London-based Nein Records has put out some serious heat as of late, and their EPs by Italian cosmic disco and house legend Daniele Baldelli are still ringing in our ears from the last time we played them. Permanent Wave offer something different for this latest release, a gloomy puddle of coldwave beatings through the delicious "Noir Obscure", and some more dancefloor-centric business via the dreary-eyed "Sister Midnight". Luscious and heart-braking, like synth-pop should be.

Review: Since leaving Gomma in 2008 following a productive two-year partnership, Rodion has showcased his wares on a dizzying number of labels. Here he adds another to the list, making his Nein debut with the intoxicating, synth-laden and surprisingly creepy "Boccoca Hills". The headline remix comes from former Chicken Lips man Andrew Meredith in his Emperor Machine guise. Typically, he's turned it into an epic, 11-minute workout built around a sparse, rubbery and quietly tough proto-house groove, onto which Rodion's wild synthesizers sit surprisingly well. Fellow Italian Fabrizio Mammarella rounds things off with a more psychedelic, acid-flecked remix that takes the track further into late night territory.

Review: Nein Records are back everyone; look out! This time they've tapped Londoner Timothy Clerkin aka Heretic for "Trite Progression". The original is a dark and soaring journey track that nails that in vogue sound at the moment. Just listen to those layers of pads flying about the place like rockets! It'll mix into anything from a Life & Death track to a Clouded Vision one. Speaking of which; the always impressive Matt Walsh appears with a killer remix that retains the slow burning mystery and atmosphere but from a different perspective by using an epic arpeggio and killer sound design. Canadian legend Fairmont gets on it too, with a remix that really works those crazy pads into a hysterical storm that's even more hypnotic that the original and backed by a monster of a bassline.

Review: Happily, Tronik Youth's latest single isn't a cover of the Stephen Sondheim show tune made famous by Liza Minnelli, but rather another mid-tempo trip into the style of chugging, psychedelic nu-disco they do so well. The original - all speak and spell vocals, bubbling synth-bass, loose beats and intoxicating electronics - is accompanied by a trio of largely impressive remixes. Rodion ups the tempo a little, smoothing out the groove while adding some attractive, top-end melodies, before Tronik Youth delivers a wilder, tougher Nite Dub of their own. Finally, Samuel Bardah delivers the knockout punch, infusing his fine rework with bold horror chords, psychedelic synth lines and all manner of trippy effects.

Review: One half of Sons Of Slough (with Ian Weatherall) and Tici Taci label boss Duncan Gray is back but this time on London's Nein Records, usually known for their excursions in acid house and nu-disco. Following up releases by the likes of Cannibal Ink and Emperor Machine, his style is more than welcome here, no doubt. The original version of "Churn Again" gets off on a hazy '70s prog rock tip, just listen to that killer retro synth lead. There are some impressive remixes here; Berlin by way of Tel Aviv's cosmic traveller Moscoman gives it a sunny and balearic makeover while Frenchman Markus Gibb gives it a thumping modern vibe, quirky and with an attitude, sounding like something off Comeme; not a bad thing at all!

Review: Some intense body acid on Klein here, as the shady Yonkers 88 introduces himself with the "85/86/87/88 EP" - seemingly a tribute to his favourite years of club music. The title track is a slow throbber with percolating acidic 303s and a booming Windy City monologue on top. The 80s love doesn't stop at music either, with another track called "BMX Bandits". Although probably not much to do with the early Nicole Kidman flick of the same name, with its crunchy mechanical bass and new beat pulse, it's the standout track of the EP.

Review: This is something of a coup for Nein Records. They've persuaded Andrew Meecham to bring his Emperor Machine project to the label for a one-off EP, following years of inspired releases on D.C Recordings and Southern Fried. Predictably, the former Bizarre Inc and Chicken Lips man rises to the occasion. He begins with the wonky, A Love From Outer Space style slo-mo chug of "Love Lick", where pitched-down Moroder style arpeggios and vintage synthesizer melodies rub shoulders with raw electronics and dreamy pads over the course of 11 mesmerizing minutes. There's more analogue sweetness to be found on the similarly epic - if more obviously up-tempo - "Sisco Seeker", whose drum machine beats, bold chords and attack-on-the-senses electronics are just that little bit more robust. Impressive stuff, all told.

Review: Tronik Youth never stops to take a breath - he's always either posting regular monthly mixes or releasing new jams via his Nein imprint. This latest offering, "Dance In My Club" by Cravero, continues the label's current EBM assault, with the original being a minimal seven-minute techno-pop odyssey in the vein of Daniel Avery. Steve Cook provides a cool laser-driven electroclash retweak and Modernphase goes all out to present an epically moody mechanical trip-out.

Review: 1980s Italo disco is a genre that has pretty much been mined to death over the last decade. However Tronik Youth's Nein label continues to manage to release music with Italo leanings that still seem fresh. Here we get two tracks by Italo Brutalo - the growling John Carpenter-esque electro title track, and the synthier more melodic disco-not-disco of "Come To Me Now". Remix-wise, highlights include Tronik Youth's own chugging EBM rework of the former and Drvg Culture's deliciously brutal proto-industrial cacophonous version of the latter.

Review: Sometimes, with disco, the twee factor can really go up to 11. Here though, psychedelic beat meister Auxiliary Tha Masterfader gives us the "Dark Side Of Disco". The original is a slice of doom-tingle arpeggiation reminiscent of early Black Strobe and also appears as a longer, more minimal dub. Remix-wise Tronik Youth delivers a charmingly shimmery "Paradise Dub", Dubka goes for the full Chemical Brothers-style acid and Horse Meat Disco legend Severino delivers the best of the lot - a searing, Patrick Cowley-style hiNRG pounder.

Review: There's always a collective whoop in Juno Towers when a new release from Tronik Youth's Nein Records arrives. The label's been on a decidedly EBM tip of late, and Cannibal Ink's "Acid U" seems purpose built for the job. The original version sees a slow 'n' sleazy (105bpm!) electro grind narrated by a chemically affected Euro-tranny in a gothy, smoke-filled basement club. Elsewhere Nein's go-to The Emperor Machine continues the Boccaccio club vibes with a spacier 10 minute Balearic groover. Furthermore Manchester's lad-about-town, Chris Massey, delivers a fine retro house mix complete with ravey synth stabs.

Review: After impressing with the rather fine 44 Squadron EP on Relish last summer, Eskimo Twins member Timothy Clerkin dons his Heretic guise for an undeniably spacey outing on Nein. With its outer-space noises, undulating electronics, acid flashes and arpeggio rhythms, "Pollux" sits somewhere between spiraling cosmic disco and chugging acid house. While good, it's the accompanying remix package that really impresses. Andrew Weatherall leads the five-man assault, emphasizing the original's spacey elements whilst adding a body-popping electro feel to the beats. Arguably even better is Hardway Brothers' moody, new wave-goes-electro interpretation, while Anton Maiovvi's "Decent Into Hell Mix" is a flurry of panicky electronics, shimmering analogue synthesizers and sweaty drum machine builds.

Review: Endless is the debut solo EP from Amevicious, a Marseille-based DJ/producer who describes his style as "dark disco". Certainly, the title track feels sweaty and clandestine, with clanging percussion, sampled whoops, spooky electronics and a fuzzy bassline. Tronik Youth opts for a similar mood on his remix, which makes greater use of authentic analogue sounds. Amevicious' second original track, "Disco Libertine", is a fair more positive affair, with throbbing Italo-style bass and glistening synthesizers aplenty. Mark E delivers the standout remix, which sounds like a Balearic take on mid-'80s EBM, while Theus Mago opts for a sparkling nu-disco vibe on his rework.

Review: Manchester's Chris Massey of El Diablo's Social Club fame has graduated from his own To Rack & Ruin label to releases on Nein backed by Justin Robertson remixes in no time at all. Continuing his habit of naming African cities in the title, "Love From Lagos" is another gleaming slice of slo-mo electronic disco with extra jackin' bounce for good measure. Robertson brings his Deadstock 33s moniker to the table, delivering a cool arpeggiated bleeper in the process.

Review: Tronik Youth's "The Healer", a six-minute EBM gyrator, laced with bleeps, fizzes and a sample of a televangelist delivering a deranged rant, receives a royal treatment of reworks. The Emperor Machine rocks up with a 12-minute cosmic cut of punk-funk, while Danielle 'the King' Baldelli turns in an epic Italo disco rework with help from DJ Rocca. Chris Massey meanwhile goes on an 808-fuelled acid frenzy and Max Jones turns in a darkly cool electro-meets-disco rerub. Awesome.

Review: The electroclash revival starts here and Tronik Youth isn't afraid to jump on board, signing Daniel Kyo and his depressed electro-pop gem, "Electricity". If the latter sounds like it could be found on Tiga's seminal Mixed Emotions mix CD, digital B-side "No Regret" sounds like John Carpenter guest-soundtracking Miami Vice, also taken it into lo-fi arpeggiated electro-disco territory. Legendary EBM raconteur, Anton Maiovvi, delivers a deep and bleepy, electro-disco re-rub of the title track which also gets turned into angelic floaty house by Dimitri Viemar. Another strong release from Nein.

Review: Ahead of a forthcoming appearance on Clouded Vision, Marseille-based producers Dawad and Mokic join forces for this EP on Nein. "Pink Pants" is undeniably dirty and, at times, dark, with twisted acid lines, discordant electronics, ghostly chords and intergalactic melodies riding a shuffling nu-disco-meets-acid-house groove. "Fake", on the other hand, is an altogether looser and cheerier proposition, with hints of Italo-disco and tech-house amongst the big builds, bold synth lines and bouncy rhythms. These originals are joined by a string of remixes, with the Two Mamarrachos' post-punk disco take on "Pink Pants", and Dynamicron's Headman style rework of the same track, standing out.

Review: Flu is Considine's debut single, but it contains a maturity that belies his youth. The drums are tough but funky and rolling, there are some subtle jazzy licks and garbled vocal samples and the whole thing is held together by a relentless slap bass. It's interesting that Considine cites proto-disco DJ Danielle Baldelli as his main influence because "Flu" does feel like the result of finding and reconstituting a wide range of parts. Apart from his own production, the youthful label owner also deserves praise for his A&R skills, commissioning remixes that veer from the rolling and loops (DJs Pareja and Craig Bartley) to the slow and tripped out (Cannibal Ink) and, best of all Drvg Cvltvre's grungy, throbbing bass take.

Review: There's something decidedly trippy, bordering on psychedelic, about the slo-mo and mid-tempo house workouts of Spanish trio Cannibal Ink. "Le Petit Prince" is a perfect example of their trademark style, and featuring raw, rough electronics and acid flashes riding a chugging, saucer-eyed, no-wave influenced house groove. It's a little more tech-tinged than some of the material on, say, World Unknown and Emotional [Especial], but it shares a similar aesthetic. There's a myriad of remixes to choose from, with Justin Robertson's Chicken Lips-go-industrial take, Moscoman's weird-wave interpretation, and Alvaro Cabana's punk-funk influenced drug-chug standing out.

Review: San Sebastian-based twosome Jaime Sagastibeltza and Borja Campion have been doing the rounds for sometime, though their releases have been limited (a single on Is It Balearic, and a collection of edits for Los Grandes). Here they attempt to step up to the next level via an excellent, coldwave and Italo influenced chunk of atmospheric, darkroom nu-disco for Nein. The excellent original version - think Brian Ferry style vocals, relentless low register guitars and murky synthesizer arpeggios - is joined by a quartet of remixes. Arguably most impressive is Factory Floor's revision, which blackens the track further via woozy analogue electronics, bongo-laden rhythms and psychedelic melodies. Elsewhere, Rodion goes all macabre acid house, and Reverso 68 turn the track into a surprisingly cheery Balearic disco chugger.

Review: Tronik Youth and Jonah Considine's Nein Records now welcomes newcomer William Earl into the fold. They've pulled out all the stops for this introductory EP, with a plethora of remixes to accompany the two originals featured here. "Loveless" is long a slow excursion into dreamy body music, whilst "Elephants" is a totally cool slice of Chloe-style gnawing, buzz saw electro-house. Of the remixers Clandestino opts for a cosmic jack vibe, Hiem go for eight minutes fantastic drone-meets-guitar-shred joy, Kalidasa does laid back Italo-disco and Somerville & Wilson get heavy on the arpgeggiators.

Review: Hi NRG yet slo-mo, Dark Strands present a chugging single of burning nu-disco with a heavy cast of remixers. The original, however, sits at a low slung 106 BPMs and features all the loved tropes of the genre - up front Italoc synths, breeze block-sized beats, breathy vocals, and yes, cowbells. The Heretic remix focuses its energies on the vocals and synths while adding a gruelling 303 bassline, while Inigo Vontier goes big and progressive, similar to the music of Dusty Kid. Tronik Youth turns the track into an electrified piece of rocking, electro Balearica, and stripped back sensations is the order of the day for DJ ATHome.

Review: Having spent much of 2014 impressing with his superb (and delightfully eccentric) CTRL+S Edits series, Tronik Youth returns to the world of original production. As you might expect, "Splinter Of The Mind's Eye" chugs hard, with psychedelic vocal samples, trippy electronics and twinkling piano flourishes wrapping themselves around a druggy, Italo-influenced groove. It's rather good, all told, and sits somewhere between murky nu-disco and early '90s "intelligent techno" (think Brown Album-era Orbital). The remix package is particularly strong, with similarly psychedelic interpretations from Peza and Two Mamarochos being joined by a brilliantly ragged, armour-clad acid tweak from Los Lopez. Best of all, though, is the Dark Strands remix, which turns the track into a sensual, slo-mo Balearic chugger.
