Each week we pick five things we're feeling on the interwebz. We hope you might find them interesting too.
This week: A history of house from those who made it happen, Dave Haslam on the retro/future debate, Will & Ink mix from Frits Wentink, Objekt on DJing and partying in Paris.
Release number five is a deep, trippy and twisted excursion inspired by the Romanian wave of minimal techno, Chilean demi-God Ricardo Villalobos and German imprints such as Perlon and Kompakt.
Loaded with over 700MB of intricate drum workouts, glitchy textures, reworked melodics, narcotic grooves, left-field sampling, dubby textures, there's nothing here that would sound out of place in an 11am Fabric freak-a-thon with Ricardo at the controls.
If you like your house and techno deep, druggy and sonically sculpted then this is a pack you need in your life. Expertly programmed and produced in an all-analogue studio this one oozes authenticity and inspiration at every turn.

Here's our first synth preset pack: UNDRGRND Techno Presets. We understand that not all producers have the budget or space for authentic analogue synth sounds so we've created a bank of sounds inspired by our favourite hardware - so you can get awesome sounds that you can use instantly, in-the-box, wherever you are.
Inspired by the house and techno pioneers of the 80s and 90s, this killer collection offers a wide mix of melodic inspiration that can be used in so many sub genres of house, from deep and tech to dub or micro house.
Totalling 70 Sylenth patches, the bank contains fat basses, retro keys, warm pads, classic leads and stabs, arps and sequences and FX sounds - giving you all you need for warm retro melodics completely in-the-box.
Get raw. Get analogue. Get UNDRGRND!
