Friday afternoon and most of us are idling away the last couple of hours at work, here’s a gift just in time for the weekend from Record Makers and driving techno duo Acid Washed. The first 5 people to e-mail us duo will receive a download code to their new EP “For Your Eyes Only/Prince Acid”.

“Juju & Jordash’s ‘Jewsex’ is Horn and Lipson with Frankie remade epic Italo High Energy. Fun Fun’s ‘Happy Station’ with balls and a touch of the Simple Minds. The ‘Clubsex’ mix traps a Pacman and has it bouncing off a wall of feedback until it locates Steve Poindexter and the Relief records back catalogue, and ‘Dubsex’ drenches everything in delay and 69’s detuned synths. Tin cans rattle in a haunted dancehall. A ghostly locomotive. A bit like that DJ G La Tortue record that Derrick May used to play.”

Three big tunes out soon on Golf Channel Recordings. Stream them below!

Over the last year, Japan’s nightlife scene has undergone a series of difficult changes centred around the implementation of “fuzoku laws”, which were established in 1948.Though the law generally deals with restricting the sale of sex and businesses that may offer similar services, more recently it has been expanded to include “nightclubs and related establishments that allow customers to dance.”

You can and should read about the regressive crackdown here – a stark contrast from the all-night dance parties that the city was known for years ago. Fortunately, there are people working to change the way things are now. This includes newly launched label Diskotopia, which began as a visual collective featuring ex-pat Matt Lyne (A Taut Line) and Japanese female DJ Am Rhein in Osaka back in 2005.

This dub of “You Can Take a Heart” personally reflects my favorite things about the Osaka nightlife culture I fell in love with when I came to Japan – dark & moody basslines snaking throughout the track, dissonantly ambient vocals and a complete disregard for peak time dancefloor pleasing – opting instead to be played out in the early hours, just before the pachinko parlors open, drenched in all their smoggy Osaka glory.

We’re huge fans of Berlin producer/dj Dixon here at Discobelle and when we stumbled uopon this two-part live recording for Red Bull Music Academy Radio of his stellar set at Versatile’s 15 Ans celebrations in Paris we were of course delighted. If you dig deep house then this is for you.

New on Hybris, Lucas Nord is the next big hope within the Swedish house music scene.

Here’s an icy, distant new deep house / “Detroit-future-murk” track from the insanely prolific Coyote Clean Up, taken from his forthcoming FROZEN SOLID tape, out soon on 100% Silk. The short teaser vid was shot by @icecoldchrissy himself at a glow-stick-infested rave in his hometown of Detroit:
