It’s about to be an exciting ride; let’s take a look what albums will be bumping in your earphones or club speakers very soon.

1. Recondite will release his fourth album, ‘Placid’, via Absurd Recordings’s spin off imprint, Acid Test, on October 30th.

Back in April, the talented Bavarian producer Lorenz Brunner, better known as Recondite, has unobtrusively announced the preparation for his forthcoming full-length album, titled ‘Placid’.

Recondite’s intuitive and deeply meditative take on acid house and techno has appeared on labels like Hotflush, Acid Test, Trolldance, Life And Death, Dystopian, Ghostly International and Innervisions.
The ten tracks will offer a wide range of after-hours 303 acid house, techno and electronic sounds.

3. Roman Flügel comes to Hypercolour with a new six track double EP titled ‘Monday Brain’. Release day is set for October 23.

An album by Roman Flügel is always an exquisite musical journey. One of the Germany’s leading electronic music vanguards for two decades, he remains one of the artists that drive and influence the sound-seducing world of house, intelligent dance music (commonly IDM), ambient, downtempo, electro, acid-house and techno. Swapping monikers as often as he does musical styles: Eight Miles High, Roman IV, Soylent Green and Ro 70,to name just a few, Roman Flügel continues to impress listeners with each new release.

The first release on UK imprint, Hypercolour, is entitled ‘Monday Brains’. It will add another dimension to the innovative and intricate sound that straddle the divide between house and techno.

Hypercolour describes the release as, “6 tracks of highly polished techno/electronica cover a range of tempos and styles on ‘Monday Brain’, a double pack vinyl to be released this October. Roman Flügel demonstrates his ability to morph his sound with the times, and displays his breadth of sound design magnificently over the release.”

The opening track, ‘Teenage Engineering,’ is a gorgeous slice of electronica. It explores the techno-futuristic IDM elements. Embellished with piano, all elements are perfectly fit together by creating an abstract, melodic, intricate soundscape and a grooving vibe with a classical foundation.

Listen to the opening track below ahead of the release coming on October 23rd.

4. Canadian duo Blond:ish returns to ever-quality house imprint Kompakt with the forthcoming full-length album, ‘Welcome To The Present’. It will hit shelves on October 23rd.

The masterminds behind Blond:ish, Anastacia D’elene and Vivie Ann Bakos, preserve their vision on hypnotic, dark and mind-twisting sound of house and techno at the same time pushing forward dark, sprinkled with psychedelia and cosmic grooves.

The first single track, ‘Endless Games’, from the upcoming album was released in July. The mysterious and subtle house track unobtrusively cast evocative images in your mind. It was an impressive introduction to their latest offering, ‘Welcome To The Present’. The eleven-track album is marvelously reflective of their travels to Mexico, South America and India, where Blond:ish greatly explored the native sound. Taking influences and inspiration from psychedelic and Eastern music, they infuse tracks with exotic instrumentation, native vocals, sound meditation and far-out melodies, adding further to the West Coast desert community ethos.
