When it comes to collabs after the academy, they put it to the tape like crazy glue. Luis Davis, participant from last years Toronto edition has been grafting to make ish happen, starting his own Mad Bros label. The first release is Faust's 'Hydraulic Slut' - a track recorded in Toronto by Ilari Larjosto and Jacob Korn. They must have made this beat on a ghost train, as each new section of this meandering groove stumbles into a spooky hall of mirrors, reflecting synth motifs back on each another like Medusa.

Celebrating the release, Luis Davis and Jacob bounced to Sweden, to rock The Docks with Sankt Goran - always a wonky space ride deep into the unknown.

Jacob, Luis Davis, and Sankt Goran, (and his brother JohnnyTooBad) will all be spinning at the Red Bull Music Academy Lounge at Sonar Festival this year - so if you feel the track and are inna di area... reprazent, y'all!

Hot on the heels of those killer instrumentals from Dorian Concept, Treble O bring more abstract beat visions from AD Bourke. This collection of replicant grooves would certainly get the nod from Delia Derbyshire, as AD fires out volley after volley of crunchy MPC breaks, bizarre vocal samples, heavy bass, and synths as thick as Unicron's beard.

Check out TT below, as well as Domu's session in Rome, and the Treble O homepage.

Alex Rosner would almost certainly not approve... After two 12"s on Tirk and one on his own BubbleTease label, Maurice Fulton's Syclops project pushes more distorted bass and breaks into the red and is set to release the full LP on DFA. Not much is known about the project, but it leaves plenty to the imagination, as stories of fjordic Finns experimenting with boogie riffs heavier than Metallica and customised analogue patches, all overseen from a great height by the Fullers, are rife in discotheques all across Scunthorpe.

For a peek of the roots of Syclops, and what kind of vibes are in store, you can check Maurice's latest installment of his BubbleTease Communications mix just up on the radio... We advise against heavy lifting or operating machinery.

You can also watch his couch session from Melbourne, as he talks us through how to get those crunchy bass lines in Logic.

In the meantime, here's the b side from the 'Where's Jason's K' 12" on DFA from a few months ago to get us salivating for those summer dancefloors...
