DJ Haus & Interplanetary Criminal - "Machine Learning" (Interplanetary Criminal remix) - (5:02) 130 BPM
Review: Remixes for days in the haus with Pre-Rolled Joints Vol 2: Remix Collection, Pt. 2 by Unknown To The Unknown. Kicking of with a sultry Kelis vibe in Ludwig A.F's remix of "Sweat It Out", other highlights include Hashman Deejay doing the business on a Ruf Dug number, Andras turning over some proto-techno on Bell Towers, with Shed going all time on UTTU boss man's "Bit Too Deep". Willie Burns drops a spooky remake of Max's D's legendary "High Life", next to some reliable Legowelt wares, a Roza Terenzi rework of Assembler Code and final dose of Fantastic Man who goes deep with a luscious mix of DJ Shark's "Closer".

Review: Pyramid of Knowledge makes its debut on UTTU, following a string of releases featuring captivating, psychedelic-infused house tracks on labels such as Craigie Knowes, Hard Beach, and Dream Ticket. This release offers three original tracks, accompanied by a remix from e-freq, with the originals delving into deep, acidic and Detroit, Drexciyan electro vibes. With "Diffusion" the show stealer here, get your deeper, gnarlier slices from "Oerc" with flashes of positivity coming through in "World Heroes" that in remix form is stretched out to something linear with darker house vibes.

Review: Falty DL back in the haus for Unknown To The Unknown only gaining more charm, wit and colour to the somewhat legendary producer name. Straight out of the blocks is "Mount Sinai", a frenetic streamlined flex of moving keys and pads, flurrying percussion and clubwise speed and breaks. Up there as streamlined trance as much as it is speed jungle, rave elements give tinges of euphoria and hardcore to "Wef EX 2C". The title track is more of a frenetic computer jam, with DJ Shadow sample culture combining with subtle Aphex tropes perhaps, while "Please Below" the unofficial B2 cut sleeper cut is a deep and floaty ID request for the person who hears it next. DJ!

Review: Claws for thought... Tommy The Cat returns to Unknown To The unknown for the fourth instalment of his Cosmik Connection series. Each cut laced with cavernous space and big atmospheric flurries, from the opening blasts and star-lit shards of the intro 'Destination Unknown' to the final wistful pads of the closer 'Reminiscing', this is Tommy at his deepest and more emotional. Music that will have you purring with glee, Tommy The Cat is on some timeless tackle right here. Feline good.

Review: Following the release of his fine album The New Normal on Houndstooth last year, veteran house and techno producer Mark Hawkins has jined DJ Haus's retro-futurist Unknown To The Unnown label. The EP he's delivered is genuinely impressive, from the rubbery synth bass, sci-fi techno sounds, deep house chords and Motor City drums of 'Snow Day', to the drowsy, alien-sounding early morning hypnotism of 'Droney' and the starburst techno rush of 'Simple Dimple', where ethereal synthesizer lines dance atop breathless beats and stabbing bass. Title track 'The Wash', an uluta-deep and intergalactic affair that's more melancholic than upbeat, is also superb.

Review: Evil Fred aka Shed arrives on Unknown to the Unknown in an EP that the label describes as UK funky, jacking techno and 'deeper than deep houz muzik'. Prior to this there is only the one other Evil Fred release (that made its way out on to H2 Recordings), with this EP still firmly focused on that raw, banging, soulful and original warehouse sound. "You (Work It)" will go down as your stripped back, chord slamming rave job next to a deep and summer tripping trance jam "The Evil Trance". With something chopped up, sustained and swinging coming out of "The Evil Dance", it's perhaps "You" that presents the most overt, or heaviest rave track here, with this new string of productions wholly indebted to a '90s house sound you can sometimes only dream about hearing today.

Review: Unknown To The Unknown presenting Naone with her debut release! It follows up her recent collaborative EP Separate Ways with Timothee Victorri's S.O.N.S project which allows the artist to spread a healthy dose of new age electro and bleep to progressive trance, techno and downtempo across four tracks. The best examples of this come through "Space Duck" and the '80s-esque "X-TDB133" with its subtle acid line next to the more overt "Center Creek" and epic title track. Delivering a record full of emotive content spoken through a subtext of old school machines and electro, Bliss Inc goes semi-industrial semi-balearic is its remix to Falling Sun. Out now!

Review: Taking inspiration from Mesopotamian iconography and symbolism Mark Hawkins outta the UK hooks up with Donnell Knox aka D-Knox from Kalamazoo (and the great Sonic Mind label). A sweet fusion of Detroit-Chicago electro with some UK intensity looms large in a deep and original lead cut "12th Planet". Throwing down something more vocal yet slamming and soulful at the same time is "I Don't Want To", while there's some tinges of dub techno and submerged, spooky tropics in "Marimba". And dat mix for da club: go "12th Planet Underground".

Review: Delivering a fifth record for your stash of hardcore electro and house music wares in 2020 is DJ Haus, continuing to fly the flag high for Unknown To The Unknown during these modern times. Sending in three tracks here, a highlight almost without saying is the melodies and sweet tones of "Analog Chime" in combination with Haus' trademark gnarly acid progressions. "WiFi Network" adds a new spin to what a dial up modem might sound like in 2020 thrown amongst some splashes of Drexciyian electro while the title-track is a righteous piece of deep sea dwelling computer music.

Review: DJ Haus has always known which way the wind is blowing musically. That much is evident not only from his on-point, retro-futurist productions, but also the tracks he signs to Unknown to the Unknown and the remixes he commissions. For proof, check out this new set of re-rubs of tracks from his IDM-infused house mini-album, Data Dump. Coco Bryce is arguably one of the world's leading proponents of jungle and '90s D&B revivalism, so it's little surprise to find that his crunchy, sub-heavy take on 'Catch Your Breath' is a rough, Amen-powered peak-time delight. Meanwhile, Holding Hands main man Desert Sound Colony does a bang-up job in turning 'Bleep Bots' into a spacey, dubbed-out chunk of deep techno eccentricity.

Review: It sounds like DJ Haus was listening to artists like Norken and CIM when he recorded this EP, as it draws heavily on their late 90s and early 00s work for inspiration. Like these artists' output, the key difference between this release and a lot of what passes for IDM is the fact that Data Dump is eminently danceable. Both "Bleep Bots" and "Fuzzy Logic" are cinematic groovers, while on "Catch Your Breath", the Unknown To The Unknown owner opts for a busier approach, with chopped up vocals and a loose metallic rhythm prevailing. At the more abstract end of the spectrum, there's the drum'n'bass speed "Puzzle Box" and the stop-start, abstract sounds of "Glitch Soup".

Review: Given that both Marquis Hawkes and Unknown To The Unknown are renowned for their ability to deliver party-starting, retro-futurist treats, you'd expect the Berlin-based producer's second EP for DJ Haus's label to be packed to the rafters with sweaty treats. Interestingly, it isn't, though it's also arguably one of Hawkes' most interesting releases to date. Across the EP, he sashays between dreamy, mid-tempo Balearic disco (the synth-heavy lusciousness of "Lunar" and even more saucer-eyed "Voyage"), electro-fired sunrise warmth (the sparkling, Kaleidoscopic electronics, lazy electro beats and squelchy acid bass of "Be The Change You Want To See"), strangely-swung, Aphex-on-Valium vibes ("Validation Comes From Within") and droning ambient soundscapes (the string-laden swell of "Morning After").

Review: Parisian maestro in all things electro, emerging producer Nemo Vachez has impressed recently with releases for his own Forest ill imprint, Rakya and London's Opia. Making a comfortable transition to Unknown To The Unknown, this Serena EP notches up UTTU's fifth release for 2020 and it doesn't take long to understand it's all about "Serena". As if channelling the deeper frequencies of UK rave culture, the opening notes of the title track, eventually met with 303 acid basslines and bleepy percussion, brings to mind classic numbers from Orbital or LFO. The SYO Transe Total Mix does away with the original's bells and whistles going warehouse size on the track's iconic synths and tunnelling basslines instead. Find cool, tropical and percussive touches in "Accordion", with spacious, mellow electro in "Undersea Tea". Cheers!

Review: Fresh from delivering a booming EP of warehouse-ready techno on Rekids, Alan Fitzpatrick pops up on Unknown To The Unknown with another quartet of sleazy slammers and speaker-bothering stompers. Fitzpatrick makes his intentions clear via the fast-paced drums, relentless ride cymbals, growling electronics and fizzing stabs of "The Hole", before doffing a cap to the nastiest Belgian techno of the early '90s on rave-melting banger "Raid". Acid fiends should check the razor sharp TB-303 lines, ricocheting drum machine handclaps and booming beats of "KD6-3", while "Awkward Desire" is a deeper and groovier affair built around swinging drums, dreamy chords and lilting lead lines.

Review: Since launching a little under a decade ago, no label has championed retro-futurist rave revivalism quite as successfully as Unknown To The Unknown. While the imprint's inspirations are varied - think acid house, Bleep, Ghetto-house, hardcore, early Detroit techno and so on - their releases are united by a desire to showcase the pure hedonistic excess of the rave years. It seems fitting then that the label's 100th release is a wild, strobe-lit treat - a stomping, sub-heavy and warehouse ready revision of boss man DJ Haus's 2018 cut "Let My Brain Go" by Len Faki. It rattles along at quite a lick, with Faki wrapping raw riffs and acid squiggles around the most bombastic of breathless, sub-heavy grooves.

Review: Neil Landstrumm has enjoyed something of a career revival of late, with killer EPs on Central Processing Unit, Running Back and Unknown to the Unknown re-asserting his long-held dancefloor credentials. Naturally, there's plenty more retro-futurist club fodder to be found on the Scottish producer's latest EP, which - as per usual - contains numerous sonic references to turn-of-the-90s bleep and bass. The standout cut is undoubtedly Si Begg hook-up "Hell Is Other People", a fiendishly raw, bass-heavy chunk of techno/electro fusion full of analogue intensity, weirdo robot vocals and Yorkshire style bleeps. He continues on a similarly sparse but weighty theme on "Aviemore", before wrapping a sleazy, Belgian style techno groove with spooky electronics on mind-altering closing cut "Jackshit".

Review: Label owner DJ Haus steps up for the latest UTTU release. In its original format, the title track is a rambunctious affair, that revolves around a rude, throbbing bass, chopped up vocals and steely drums. It's like a new take on techno and bass within the confines of one track. All ears will also be on the remixer. Most recently, Lone has impressed with his Ambivert Tools series, and he brings some of its dreaminess to this reshape. Coupled with a grungy bass and a looser rhythm, the storied UK producer also layers in some tropical soundscapes to create an unforgettable remix.

Review: Prolific Australian producer Bell Towers is back, this time on DJ Haus' imprint with a bunch of solid cosmic house grooves. The Berlin (by way of Melbourne) based producer follows up some great stuff in recent times for Public Possession, Permanent Vacation and Hell Yeah with the neon-lit balearic house of "My Body Is A Temple" and likewise "My Body Is A Tempo" which is reworked by homeboy Andras (Dopeness Galore/House Of Dad) and ventures deeper into trippier territory.

Review: Best known for his work on Principe and his own One Eyed Jacks imprint, Photonz aka Marco Rodrigues now delivers a blistering EP for DJ Haus' label. "Neo Tokyo" is constructed on a jacking house backing and powered by a gut-busting jungle bass. On "Wall Rose", eerie hardcore riffs move up through an acid-soaked techno rhythm, while "Eva Unit-01" is more menacing. Like Suburban Knight on an especially bad trip, it features frazzled bass tones and high pitched, watery riffs, making for a decidedly disoriented combination. Rounding off the release with the pacy techno rhythm and rolling drums of "Haku & Chihiro", Metanime demonstrates again that Photonz is an idiosyncratic producer.

Review: Swift in the slipstream of his DJ Haus remix on Hot Haus earlier this month comes Kornel Kovacs' debut Unknown To The Unknown release. As we've come to love from the Swedish jack-crafting, Barnhus co-founding groove conjurer, each cut struts with a fuzzy, grainy emotive warmth while remaining floor-toughened throughout. From the loopy vocal hypnosis and filtered charm of "Metropolis" to the decayed harmonic hug of "Babasonic" via the classic rising bubbles and garage feels of "Panda", these were built to last well beyond the summer.

Review: Best known for his releases on Lobster Boy and Eats Everything's Edible label, Mele now delivers a raucous release on DJ Haus' imprint. It starts with the bleep-heavy tones and rolling snares of "Moog Beat", which eventually descends into acid-soaked madness. On "Larry's Beat", the UK producer tries his hand at emulating Chicago house. Featuring a "rocking the house" vocal sample alongside a dark bass and firing percussion, he adds his own clanging drums and tough kicks, lending it a unique signature. As its name suggests, "Tribal Layers" is a dense, percussive roller. The remixes are also impressive; DJ Boring turns "Moog.." into a tougher workout, led by doubled up claps and pressure cooker climaxes, while the Bontan take on "Tribal Layers" is a raucous, bleepy affair.

Review: Lake Haze aka Goncalo Salgado has a small but impressive catalogue that includes records on Creme and One Eyed Jacks, but arguably his best material has been reserved for Unknown To The Unknown. Here, he delivers two contrasting but impressive sounds. The title track is a rich, symphonic house track, its evocative strings and slightly cheesy keys calling to mind Ibizan sunsets. By contrast, "Apollonia" sees Haze get busy with his drum machine and Roland to deliver a furious acid workout that has shades of Armando. Meanwhile, DJ Boring offers another perspective to bear with his remix of the title track. Stripping away the melodies, he delivers a firing, bleepy workout.

Review: DJ Haus' Unknown To The Uknown and Filter Dread's blazed-out bass experiments are a match made in heaven. Yes, we-re getting romantic with this shit, because this EP is something to get truly excited about. What we love about it is its ability to showcase to many different UK genres without sounding half-arsed. Tunes like "Expansion" or "Ice Click" manage to infuse the best elements of jungle together with, well, something completely different, and fresh to even the most cynical of ears. Stuttering beats, stoned percussion shots, and heartical waves of low frequencies make this something to treat with respect. Please, please do NOT sleep on this. In fact, don't come wining to us that there ain't no decent music out there before you've digested these killers.

Review: Following on from its recent flirtation with pre-jungle break beat and rave, DJ Haus' prolific label looks at another old school style courtesy of Oushe. Despite having just one previous release to his credit, Hyper Logic sounds like the work of a veteran who has been active since the early 80s. Mysterious synth stabs accompany a pitched down robo-vocal and gritty bass licks as Oushe navigates a path between Miami funk and Detroit futurism. Executed against a backdrop of insistent 808s and featuring gaudy covert art, this is one of Unknown to the Unknown's most intriguing releases to date.

Review: The inlay art on this release says it all. Featuring a female face peeking through clouds and a blissed out heavenly body floating above her, it mimics the early utopian states imagined on early 90s dance music covers. The accompanying music also wears its influences openly. Daze, an Australian producer, previously released a trio of records for Lobster Theremin, but for this outing ditches much of the gritty tape noise that he had shrouded his previous work in. The title track is all wide-eyed synths and hyper-speed jungle breaks while on "Centuries Later" he slows down the pace to emulate Nexus 21 and Detroit techno. However, the main narrative on this release is the pre-jungle period and as "Xx" shows, Daze manages to capture the mixture of musical depth and high-speed rhythms that defined that period.

Review: Kevin McHugh hails from the US of A but is very much part of the Berlin community right now, and his extensive appearances for the Delft label have resulted in this new EP for the Unknown To The Unknown crew, the place to be at the moment and one of the finest dance labels around. Accordingly, "I Feel Lit" is an instantly hummable-danceable banger with a heavy kick swing, blasting acid bleeps and a repetitive vocal sample - a true A-side bomb with a nasty edge. For the B-side, McHugh drops "Alarm (Chirp mix)", a drum-heavy DJ tool coated in a rough, analogue sound aesthetic, while Dutch master Alden Tyrell remixes "I Feel Lit" into a swarming wave of 303 techno with absolutely no care in the world but the dance floor.

Review: New name Igor Tipura is given a tasty two-track debut on DJ Haus' Unknown To The Unknown with this Dwams single. The lead cut is a pure slice of warm, soothing deep house that's, frankly, undeniable. Underpinned by a solid kick drum, metallic atmospherics that scuttle in and around constant cooling pads which Tuff City Kids producer Phillip Lauer does away with in his remix which touches leans toward more of a Hi NRG, bleepy and neon-lit disco work out from the future.

Review: De Sluwe Vos in Dutch translates to The Sly Fox. He goes for some old Chicago hard house flavour reminiscent of Green Velvet's seminal Relief Records imprint on the deep down and dirty "Insert Track Title Here". "Basement Workout III" continues on with said aesthetic with its thunderous 808 drum machine workout, meticulously programmed to good fashion. Then, finally, Person Of Interest's '90s rave remix of the last track injects some smashing breakbeats, hoovers and mentasms to take you back to Heaven, London circa-'93 with Fabio and Grooverider on the decks.

Review: Having boosted his credentials via a series of fine EPs for Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic imprint, Andre "Chambray" Rost pitches up on Unknown To The Unknown. In keeping with the label's long-held retro-futurist ideology, both of Rost's original tracks take inspiration from the late '80s and early '90s. He begins with the bashed-out rave riffs, restless kick-drums, cut-up vocals and relentless drum machine handclaps of "Evenue", before fusing the sweaty jack of ghetto-house and the loved-up piano riffs of Italo-house on hands-in-the-air special "Makin' Me". AM Unit delivers a deliciously bouncy remix of the latter, emphasizing the track's saucer-eyed credentials while working the vocal sample hard.

Review: In years to come, Danny Wolfers might be compared favourably to musical mavericks such as Sun Ra. Certainly, he's always been an artist ahead of his time, who makes and releases a dizzying amount of material, on a confusing array of labels, under a similarly befuddled number of aliases. Here he dons the familiar Legowelt alias and returns to Unknown To The Unknown with "Institute of the Overmind", a cheery acid wiggler that successfully combines sharp and hooky 303 lines with punishing, snare-heavy rhythms, skewed vocal samples and just the right amount of evocative, synthesizer sweetness. Check out FACT TV to see Wolfers produce the cut in real time, whilst DJ Haus looks on amazed. Label regular Photonz provide the flipside remix, emphasizing Wolfers' synthesizer hooks and acid lines on an undeniably sweet, attractive and ravey revision.
