The fifth edition of XLR8Rplus features exclusive and previously unreleased tracks by Scuba, Alex Smoke, and Janeret, plus an artwork by James Dawe.
We're honored to host the first original Scuba material in two years on this month's edition of XLR8R+. Recorded in between his debut album, A Mutual Antipathy, and its follow up, Triangulation, "Differential" is a bass-heavy techno weapon specifically produced for Berghain's dancefloor. Scuba is joined by a warped, slo-mo technoid cut from Alex Menzies' Alex Smoke alias, and a deep and ethereal minimal from Yoyaku's master of all things dub Janeret. The artwork this time around was created by James Dawe, inspired by the glitchy, post-apocalyptic vibes of the music, which were then injected into the evolving cyber-space visual aesthetic. Like last month, we've included a 50-track Spotify playlist, once again featuring a diverse range of tracks, both old and new.
As is the case with all the editions, XLR8R+005 is available to download as a package, featuring the three tracks in both WAV and MP3 formats, a dedicated zine, and wallpaper artwork for both desktop and phone.
We thank you for joining our independent movement.
Enjoy the music.
XLR8R Team

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
Delightfully manic dance music from British producer Patrick Tipler where worked-up rhythms collide with high-intensity synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2021

This entire EP is insanely good, but this one would begin a peak hour mix and set the tone for an energetically funky smoked out ride. THANK YOU FOR THESE JOINTS!!!! 💣💣💕💕🔊🔊🔥🔥✊✊💯💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DJ V From CHICAGO
