lando kal (a.k.a. antaeus roy), one half of bay area electro duo lazer sword, follows up maneuver, his 2011 debut for hotflush, with two cuts overflowing with the darkness of a long berlin winter. a major player in both san francisco and new yorks underground club scenes, landos love of r&b, dark jungle, detroit techno and classic house is front and center on these two bass heavy productions. the infectious rythym sektion comes on strong, lando expertly weaving the vocals of the 1991 rave classic hinted at in the title with threatening drums and kinetic percussion. on the flip, landos dynamism is on display, as inquisitions syncopated beats swagger along, insistent and knocking, drawing you into its multi-layered paranoid rhythms. lando kal has released on respected labels numbers, rush hour, sugarcane recordings, still cold, and has remixed the likes of sepalcure, hovatron, salva, sepalcure and doc daneeka. up ahead, lookout for a single dropping on leisure system, the notorious berghain party collective and label.

lando is known for teaming up with low limit as lazer sword, a future hip-hop from group from the bay area. his solo tracks are freaked out juggernauts of electronic music, primarily experimenting with various mutations of house. dense instrumentation, analog synth and drum machine work, complex melodies, and creeping basslines are pooled from his musical obsessions with 90s rnb, classic house, freestyle, garage, detroit techno, early synthesizer music, timbaland, and… to be honest, everything in between.
>maneuver< is a sure shot banger, a futuristic synth piece with heavy garage leanings and even a hint of robin s classic >show me love<. on the flip we find >run it<, a more introvert electro fused b-boy classic from future times.

like a live transmission from the party you wish you were at, the golden handshake ep is the first offspring of proud parents (and clubbing royalty) numbers. the labels debut release showcases the considerable talents of low limit and lando kal (aka lazer sword), who should need no introduction to the discerning beat freak having roundly assaulted the ears of audiences worldwide with their unbelievable live show and hundred thousand reaching mix tapes.

nice price deal !!! since sepalcures debut ep, love pressure dropped last summer, the new york based act otherwise known as travis stewart (machinedrum) and praveen sharma (braille) have made a lasting impression on the electronic sphere over the last year with unforgettable live performances across the usa and europe, as well as a stunning follow-up ep, fleur. their unique chemistry as a duo is undeniable and has resulted in a soulful, emotive, and energetic style that is entirely their own. on this remix ep, five of the usa’s most exciting dance music producers of late have offered their unique takes on the original tracks, all bringing their own signature elements into the fore: xi (orca, toronto), faltydl (planet mu, new york), jimmy edgar (!k7, detroit), daedelus (ninja tune, los angeles), and recent hotflush signing lando kal (lazer sword, berlin via san francisco).

trikk follows up last years debut release on manmakemusic with a second offering of shimmering bass heavy house music aimed squarely at the dance floor. the ep itself has already been getting some heavy rotation from manmake label boss george fitzgerald, appearing on his recent boiler room and radio one essential mixes. on basement traxx we see the darker side of trikks musical personality as he gives us a stuttering techno drum workout with demented pads and ominous stabs. rounded is trademark trikk featuring rolling subbass alongside drifting chords and swinging drums. lando (formerly lando kal) completes the ep with a guttural techno rework of the aside rounding off a stellar dancefloor centric release from the manmakemusic camp.

third part with excellent deep delicious detroit house

last year, san franciscos icee hot made the jump from party to record label, kicking off its run with a release from resident/co-founder ghosts on tape and following it up with a record from lando kal, an artist whose ties to the bay area (and the icee hot crew in particular) ran deep.

doubleheart, the collaborative project of two of scotlands longest serving creative individuals in electronic music - jd twitch (optimo espacio) and neil landstrumm. taking its name from title song *roots* - a sub heavy, tension building track that re-imagines jamaican dub poet michael smiths original from the seminal 1982 album ‘mi cyaan believe it - the ep as a whole works as an analogue exploration into the rawer side of dance music. working together allows these veteran producers to fuse their individual styles and musical sensibilities, combining landstrumms raw aesthetic and mastery of hardware manipulation with twitchs unrivalled knowledge of what makes a dancefloor tick. spawning from the depths of their imaginations and machines are 4 club-ready tracks brimming with anticipation and menace. although taking its inspiration from 80s electro and 90s acid & rave, the final result is far from a throwback to a halcyon, bygone era. instead, they have managed to carve out a distinctive sound the bleeps and bangs its way firmly into 2013.

its been three years since ghosts on tape (a.k.a. ryan merry) last released an ep of his own, and while the san francisco-based producer has remained busy on the remix front, many have likely missed the transformation hes undergone in the interim.

memory ist nicht unbedingt eine abkehr von lazer swords frühen stücken, aber diejenigen, die peitschende hip hop-beats und gecuttete vibes erwarten, werden überrascht sein: antaeus roy (aka lando kal, neuberliner) und bryant rutledge (aka low limit, san francisco) haben sich zurückgenommen, aber gleichzeitig ihre soundpalette erweitert. sie präsentieren eine schlankere, sexiere, cluborientiertere version von lazer sword, die auf 80er electro, detroit techno und verschiedene uk futurism-einflüsse zurückgreift. die palette reicht von klassischem techno, über einflüsse von juke und footwork, infiziös-mutiertem 80er freestyle bis zu gastproduzent jimmy edgar mit seinen berühmt-berüchtigten roboter-sex-vibes.

leeds/nottingham duo mak & pasteman might be in their 20s, but their musical influences stretch from the funk and soul of the 60/70s, through juan atkins proto-techno, to soulful house, d n b and uk garage. which wont surprise anyone listening to this, their debut ep for shifting peaks, a 4 track statement of intent that sounds like it couldnt have been made any time but 2012, but also feels like 20 years of hardcore continuum is embedded deep in its musical dna.
