And just in case you missed it, Wunderblock have new music out as well. We feel like successful investment bankers when our protégés move on to bigger things! No we don’t, but we’re happy that there’s so much great music out there. For more info on Moscow’s finest, check out their blog. As for now it’s just two long texts about their etymological history, i.e. Freud’s theories, and a broken sound link, but I’m sure they’ll update soon.

For working music streams of their new Eskimos EP go to Soundcloud.

Since we currently don’t have the resources to release any new music here at Astor Bell, we’re extra happy to see our artists find other labels to put out their music through! Audioteka has followed up the debut Just So Simple with a the new EP The Space of Emptiness, out now on Sanex Music.

It’s more of the same, i.e. immensely beautiful minimal techno mixing urban sounds and Siberian soundscapes. Slightly more uptempo, slightly more professional, slightly more expensive (but obviously worth every penny).

Samples of this beauty can be heard over at Beatport.

The eloquent gentlemen behind the lovely electronic music blog Box Musique have always been kind to us, posting most of our releases and mixes as of late, always with great reviews. This friendship has now deepened even further as we were asked to kick off their new series of original mixes with a fresh set from the studio of Socket Science.

The result is just out there for you to grab. It’s a dynamic mix of minimal and tech house 12″s from 2011, starting of slowly and beautifully with our very own Aloo and then via some fragile glitchy soundscapes from Traum Schallplatten and the likes it gradually ups the tempo. The mesmerizing Nature is The Law by Ryan Davis & Transistor takes it all to another level which is then followed up by some more bass driven action that’ll keep any dance floor ecstatic, before Simian Mobile Disco wraps it up by showing a completely new dark and berghainesque side that’ll leave you stunned.

You really want to hear this, go get it.

Just stumbled over this impeccable little mix from the Omaramusic Netlabels Session on www.techno-lounge-radio.com.
