Leo Sanderson-Gonna Be Me / You Know House

 


Manchester's Leo Sanderson drops two rush inducing slices of House on the oldskool rave tip!

Out now on Agro Tracks, 'Gonna Be Me' is a bumpin' House jam, bursting with optimism, energy and euphoric piano that calls back to New Atlantic, Love Decade and Q+Tex.

'You Know House' ramps up the rave even more with a House diva refrain "I Wanna Tell You a Story About House", fierce beats and- whisper it- Happy Hardcore influenced piano. As someone who listened to 90s House and Happy Hardcore, this resonates with me. 

Both tracks are already tearing it up in the clubs, now you can buy them and tear up the place wherever you're playing!

JEDI & STORMTROOPER-ROLLER BLADE '25-UPROAR



It's been a while since we've had the pleasure of a new Cantina Cuts. The good news is Jedi & Stormtrooper just dropped a new two track release, available on vinyl and digital.


'Roller Blade 25' is a rebuild of the 2000 banger, infusing (checks Who Sampled) 'Operation Blade' by Public Domain (which in turn samples New Order 'Confusion' (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix). Most will recognize the riff from the infamous vampire nightclub scene in the movie 'Blade.' 


It's a great riff which always rightfully belonged on a Breakbeat Hardcore sheller. Who better than Jedi & Stormtrooper to take this on! The classic 'Bombscare' beat fits like a glove with the pumping 303 acid line, tried and tested at the raves!


Also tried and tested at the raves is 'Uproar', a true to the oldskool spirit 'ardcore refit of 'Hardcore Uproar' replacing the 4x4 stomp for rolling breaks and replaying the iconic pianos and John Carpenter inspired synths. Here's where you can grab the gold ⬇️

The debut 12" EP by Acid Tamiya 346


A1. Acid eyewater
A2. Acid eyewater (CycheoutsG REMIX)
B1. Kishimojin
B2. Acid eyewater (MISSILE CHEWBACCA REMIX)

After over a decade of underground hardware-driven experimentation, Japanese techno act, Acid Tamiya 346 have finally unleashed their first-ever vinyl EP and it’s well worth the wait. Known for their completely hardware-synced live setups and a deep devotion to MIDI & DIN SYNC-based jamming, the duo comprised of DieTrax and Jaermulk Manhattan bring a raw, unfiltered energy that’s both retro and fiercely current.

This release features the brand-new acid-laced track 'Acid Eyewater,' alongside two explosive remixes by underground icons CycheoutsG and Missile Chewbacca. Also included, is the crowd-favorite, mouth-melting acid track '鬼子母神 (Kishimojin)'.

The 12” vinyl, limited to 303 copies on yellow vinyl, features cover art by contemporary artist Yuya Hashizume, whose solo exhibition in Korea (2024) provided the genesis for this collaboration. The A-side opens with their highly anticipated release 'Acid eyewater' which is a hypnotic blend of acid lines and immersive textures. This one's followed by a remix from CycheoutsG, delivering a gritty, back-to-basics acid house reinterpretation that oozes rave nostalgia while staying locked into the underground pulse.

Flipping the B-side, and things get wilder with 'Kishimojin', a new track making waves for its creative use of human voice acid elements, blending haunting vocal manipulations with raw machine funk. The release closes out with a remix by MISSILE CHEWBACCA, one of the more unorthodox figures in the Japanese underground. Their take brings an electro-disco  bizarre vibe, and totally fitting for the project’s outsider ethos.

All in all, this record is a snapshot of a niche but fiercely creative corner of Japan’s underground techno scene. Bold, strange, and undeniably analogue.
