Released by Glitchy.Tonic.Records, Quantum Weirdness is the third studio album from Robert Hundt’s Zeitgeist side project. Hundt, who is also known as Radioactive.Cake, founded Zeitgeist in 2010 to explore alternative conceptions of progressive psytrance influenced by techno, breaks, electronic, jazz, and funk music at 130 BPM or thereabouts. Following up on Spirit Of The Age (2010) and Darwin (2011), Quantum Weirdness explores the peculiarities of reality at the subatomic level. Fitting the theme, this release features an epigram by Richard Feynman:

“There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.”

Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin. Artwork by Robert Hundt.

Time Is Passing By is the first free release from WestOne Recordings, a label based in Gothenburg, Sweden, started by Ludvig Sjöstrand and Edvin Dennevi. The focus of the label is techno in all its forms with any kind of influence. This initial offering features three songs by Comcast, a Serbian techno project formed in the summer of 2010 by Nikola Markovski (AKA Tactic Tech) and Iva Arifaj, both of whom have their own solo projects. Their style is a hard-hitting blend of brawny bass lines, tribal rhythms, and acid riffs. Cover by Edvin Dennevi.

Juicy Bits is the side project of two prolific producers from the Mexican underground: Saeg and Ojos (AKA Son Of A Beat and Trancemission), both of whom have been devastating Mexican and Brazilian dance floors since 2005. After several years of developing their own individual style they joined forces in 2008 with juicy intentions. Now, after releasing music with labels such as Iboga Mexico (through which they reached the #3 position on the Beatport charts), Nuuktal Records, and Headstick Digital, they’ve prepared a full-length serving of deep and delicious progressive techno and tech house for mass consumption. Honey Dolphins, released on Drumlore, features nine new tracks with a refreshing mix of catchy hooks, fat bass lines, and killer grooves. Mastering and artwork by Juicy Bits.
