This is the second chapter of Sky - a trilogy of releases exploring collective dreams of celestial origin.

With Ibiza's extended summer season almost upon us, Toolroom has served up a suitably epic collection of cuts that it expects to be big on the White Isle this summer. Label boss Mark Knight has provided a trio of DJ mixes ("Poolside", "Club" and "Afterclub") and the unmixed tracks included all fit into these loose categories. There's not enough room to list all of the highlights, but we've been enjoying the funk-fuelled disco-house rush of Illyus and Barrientos' "The One", the sleazy, bass-heavy bounce of Max Chapman's "Steppa", the acid-powered tech-house-jack of Del-30's "Gravity" and the weighty, mind-altering thump of "Low End Theory" by Eli Brown.

There's little question that A Day in the Life of Todd Terry is one of the best albums of Terry's pioneering house ever released – it leads off with two of his best-known tracks, "A Day in the Life" and "I Hear the Music." And the rest of this compilation just reinforces his status as one of the best house producers of all time, from the uplifting vibes of "Clear Away the Past" and the tribal headrush of "Jungle Hot" to smoother tracks like "Teela's Theme".

Three CD set. Ministry of Sounds legendary Back To The Old Skool series makes a turbo-charged return with Happy Hardcore a collection celebrating 30 years of the very best Old Skool Hardcore classics selected by two juggernauts of the scene - Dougal and Hixxy. Early hardcore producers evolved in a period when techno was developing a harder edge, exploring the complex breakbeats that would later manifest themselves as jungle and the subsequent development of drum and bass. The album features a selection of all-time classics from the biggest artists the scene has ever produced including Scott Brown, Force & Styles, Paul Elstak, Ultrabeat, Sy & Unknown, Hocus Pocus, Sharkey and many more.

Art of Noise's first full album, (Who's Afraid Of?) The Art of Noise!, consolidated the future shock of the earlier EPs and singles in one entertaining and often frightening and screwed-up package. Rarely has something aiming for modern pop status also sought to destroy and disturb so effectively. The most legendary song is still "Close (To the Edit)," benefiting not merely from the innovative video but from its strong funk groove and nutty sense of humor in the mostly lyric-less vocals, not to mention the "hey!" vocal hook the Prodigy would sample for "Firestarter." Its close cousin, the title track, brilliantly blends a nagging bass synth, echoed drum, and percussion fills and constantly shifting vocal cut-ups, random noises, and strange melodies. They're just two highlights on this prescient release, though. Part of the thrill of Who's Afraid is the sense of juxtaposition and playing around, something still not very common in music and even less so in the pop music genre.

Nu Electro proves is that electro is still beating strong thanks to both old school originators like Egyptian Lover and Newcleus, and a new generation such as Invisible Rockers Crew and Dark Vektor. Not to mention the fact that it s now spread far beyond its American strongholds in New York and Detroit, with the latter two producers hailing from Athens and Barcelona respectively. Covering 2 CDs mixed by Freddy Fresh and Diplomat, it also represents electro in its most purist form with almost every track from The B Boys You Know We Rock to Supreme.Ja s Freak constructed from the same core elements of 808s, brittle beats and robotic voices and a complete disregard for any electroclash or electro-house affectations that have subsequently diluted the sound. True, electro no longer sounds as shockingly futuristic as it once did, but nor is it as creaky as an old breakdancer s joints when they try their knee drops again.

After almost two years in the works, Rohs! is glad to announce the release of “Poems” by Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Purl. He began to use this alias at the age of 15, as a tribute to the sounds of nature that helped him rediscover inner peace. The intention behind Purl is to be an expression of the serenity and depth of our natural state.
In support of the original tracks “Slow Poem” and “Cellar Door”, other 7 artists have re-imaginated and reworked the original two tracks.

Weathered Well is the 1994 album by Locust. This was released by Apollo.

Deena Abdelwahed’s first album is shifting the epicenter of contemporary electronic music south: “Khonnar“ will be released on November 16, 2018 by InFiné.

This album is an official Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) release of his experimental and electronic music recorded between 1990-2003. What you get here is a collection of music that Wilson was messing around with for different purposes, none of it was originally supposed to be released to the public. Of course, since there is a demand for anything 'Steven Wilson' it has been collected for those of us who are curious about anything he does. The music here is quite experimental and leans towards his musical explorations of the early days and his experimental project 'Bass Communion'. There is quite a variety of sounds and styles throughout this music, because the songs were never intended to be put together on any album originally…

Efdemin (Berlin’s Phillip Sollmann) is among minimal techno’s most sensuous producers: No matter how reduced his arrangements, his sounds are unusually sumptuous. That fullness of tone comes to the fore on New Atlantis, his first album for Ostgut Ton, the label arm of Berlin’s iconic Berghain nightclub. Unlike that club’s famously austere, industrial vibe, New Atlantis is more inspired by Indian ragas—that’s a hurdy-gurdy in the opening track—and 1960s minimalists like Terry Riley and La Monte Young, along with Sollmann’s electroacoustic experiments in improvisation and installation art.

Leon Vynehall made his mark as a producer by stretching house music’s conventions to accommodate, well, anything—avian mating rituals, say, or his grandparents’ migration from England to New York. His debut mix album ranges just as widely, collecting tracks old (Haruomi Hosono’s ’80s electro-pop, Bourbonese Qualk’s chilly industrial) and new (like exclusives from UK bass savant Ploy and rising house maven Peach), and taking the tempo from skulking hip-hop through skipping garage to full-on jungle. As much as a display of mixing prowess, it’s a snapshot of the UK DJ’s unusual thought process, making connections between moods that are dreamy and aggro, ethereal and paranoid, all with exceptional skill and enviable grace.
