Hailing from Brussels, Belgian producer Le Motel has soaked up plenty of inspiration from the Chicago-born juke sound. Appearing as the final cut on the man's upcoming three-track 45°34°50° EP, "Right Business" is a particularly jazz-infused introduction to the producer's footwork-informed craft, one which aligns a number of blistering 150-plus bpm rhythms with found-sound percussion, a droning Rhodes chord, and the dusty slide of an upright bass.

 On the back of last year's excellent Bones in Motion LP, we deemed Liverpool-based producer Andrew Morrison (a.k.a. The Cyclist) one of the Best New Artists of 2013. Now, Morrison has launched another project, operating as Buz Ludzha on an upcoming 12" for Dublin label All City and sharing a video for the record's a-side along with a new mix. read more   |

 No strangers to collaboration, UK DJ/producers Four Tet and Jamie xx (pictured above) broadcasted a back-to-back DJ mix on Sydney's FBi Radio during the Young Turks takeover just yesterday, using their time to share a selection of exclusive and unreleased material. Among those never-before-heard tracks was a tune jointly crafted by the two mixmasters, a soft-focus jam called "Seesaw." read more   |

 Anonymous producer Druid Cloak just sent over "Frostmane," an elegant production lifted from Folie Douce's recent Cold Confessions compilation. His contribution pushes the same ethereal tone as the rest of the icy release, harnessing an array of elements—like bright textures brushed against a monosyllabic vocal loop, heavy drum breaks, and waves of arctic synths—into the meticulous composition. The rest of Cold Confessions includes productions from the likes of P. Morris (the new moniker of Morri$), Jubilee, S-Type, and DJ Paypal, among others, and can be heard in its entirety after the jump. read more   |

 Veteran French DJ/producer Laurent Garnier has been popping up on our radar a bit more frequently than usual as of late, reviving his Garnier moniker to release an EP via Chicago label Still Music and announcing just today that he'll soon drop another record under that name, this time with Modeselektor's 50Weapons imprint. read more   |

 After a solid 2013 that saw him dropping a handful of 12"s and a self-released, limited-edition collection of exclusive tracks, oddball UK house DJ/producer Gerry Read has announced his first release of 2014, a four-track EP for Will Saul's Aus label. read more   |

The music of Lucy (a.k.a. Luca Mortellaro) is perhaps most closely related to techno, but attempting to neatly file the Italian-born, Berlin-based producer's work into any particular genre is essentially a fruitless endeavor. His 2011 debut LP, Wordplay for Working Bees, hinted at IDM while experimenting with foreboding sheets of atmospheric noise and abstract beat patterns, and garnered Lucy plenty of admirers in the process. The output of his Stroboscopic Artefacts label has been more straightforward, albeit no less impressive, as the imprint has become a reliable home for dark, driving techno sounds. In the midst of all this activity, Lucy has somehow also found the time to link up with other artists in the studio, turning out collaborative work with the likes of Speedy J (as Zeitgeber) and Silent Servant, amongst others. Later this month, however, he'll be heading back into the solo spotlight with the release of his sophomore full-length, Churches Schools and Guns, an occasion we've elected to celebrate by inviting Lucy to put together the latest installment of the XLR8R podcast series.

 The duo of LA-based producers Kevin Ross and Enrique Martinez, Velcro is set to release its first record for Plant, a five-track EP called Runaway, exclusively through Beatport on February 18. In the meantime, we're treated to the smooth house grooves of closing cut "City of Angels." The beat-driven production operates on a buoyant rhythm suitable for late-night cruising through the streets of its titular metropolis. read more   |
