amsterdam via wales dj & producer maroki unveils a darker, more eccentric side to his productions, this time opting for four bass heavy, left-leaning cuts of idiosyncratic dance-floor experimentation on ltfire.

it has become a tradition for the maghreban to make records commemorating the passing of cats he knew and loved. one of these tracks is for martha.one of the tracks someone said sounded like too many pots and pans. the other one he made using elka x705 organ sounds. it s a shame that these tracks together make for such a tepid, middling, unremarkable record. not his best work by any stretch. perhaps there is different music around the corner.

perc trax returns with its 2nd in the pots & pans series, this time around with tracks from misc (sender / klang / resopal), simone tavazzi (analytictrail/perc trax) and oscar (karateklub / lordag). ruling over the a-side are german techno overlords misc, who when not recording for berlins sender imprint spend their time as niederflur for richie hawtins all conquering m_nus. >modern times< is build on rolling ercussion grooves, a jabbing bassline and a number of short but effective breaks.

incl avus, remute and jean ramesse !!perc trax launches its new various artists series with this killer 3-tracker. first up is glasgows jean ramesse with his monster >violence delays cous cous time<. already a massive track in percs dj sets, now the perc trax bossman gets his grubby hands on it and delivers an fullon noise assault, perfectly timed to be perc traxs big record of the summer

bacao rhythm & steel band return with another instantly classic 45 guaranteed to be all over djs set lists. with their sophomore full length coming in september, they treat us to another bomb of a two sider.
side a is a cover of the dr dre hit “xxplosive” done up in proper brsb fashion, smashing drums and steel pans playing the lead and bass lines. they take this one into new territory by adding synth parts and dubbed out horn lines playing nate dogg’s infamous vocal hook melodies.
side b takes on one of nycity’s grimiest hip hop club anthems, mobb deep’s “burn”. we decided to do this tune and demoed it out long before the unfortunate passing of prodigy. unfortunately, he will never get to hear this cover, and that has been one of the nicest things in covering some of these more current hip hop tunes. rest in peace p.
brsb manages to do it again ... a version equally as raw and punchy as the original. pans bang out the iconic riff from the original, theremin ushers in the changes, and the low rubble of the synth bass is sure to crush the subwoofers.

this initial release on the new futurepast label marks davy’s first output as a producer, crystallizing his endeavours in the studio and bearing witness to his long-standing experiments in electronic music. built between london and berlin over the last four years, the long now lays down the blueprints for following ventures on the label: using old and new gear to create unique, obscure soundscapes both outside of memory and away from nostalgic projections of lost futures. in a timeless and precise collaboration, davy has brought together two historical figures for this release: 1990s r&s records associate david morley mixed the tracks, while simon davey of the exchange lent his renownedmastering skills to the project. temporality, time travel and perception are key concepts for davy, and not only in the ep’s title. the four stripped-down tracks move forwards, sidewards and backwards in a bid to get us lost – not in space but in what time might sound like should we be swimming through it. mysterious and ageless synths mesh with the beats of an unnamed drum machine under davy’s control. we move through a non-linear story told by three distinct forward-thinking techno titles: no memories planned, circular weeks and causal loop. finally, the titular ambient track pans out cinematically over the images left in our heads: an invitation to begin it all again in the long now...

nice price deal !!! the ever-prolific curtis lynch strikes again with this new reggae roots dub series, access denied. trinidad & tobago born franz job lends his vocals to the n side of this sound system killer with a tune called >i used to<. franz describes how he used to be afraid to speak his mind but now he is a rebel for the cause. the second track on this side is from curtis lynch who plays steel pans across the rip roaring dub.
the m side features another rising reggae star, massicker, originally from jamaica and currently residing in boston. massicker is a superb writer and this tune is his calling card as he explains the decline of personal interaction due to the rise of social network sites and mobile phones. the second track on this side is the customary heavy grynch dub, with plenty of echo, reverb, drum and, of course, a devastating bassline. sure to please all lovers of roots music as well as flavours to spice the jungle and dubstep crews.

clash lion is a mix of three personalities, shall ocin, terr and daniel watts. three artists with different musical backgrounds merging forces to create a truly eclectic and open minded label. with an approach to release unique electronic music covering a multitude of genres from techno to retro electronica, their passion for innovative and experimental productions shows no boundaries. the labels debut release comes from maetrik, tantalizing us with an outstanding release. deep and dark warping modulation, twisting upon a bellowing low end is accompanied by searing experimental riffs slithering throughout cortex 11 - b ninex 7 û c has a low end drone of power, which builds slowing alongside a relentless hat before releasing into a mind bending synth pattern of pans and fluctuations. synth depth reigns supreme as the weighty beat kicks into gear, completing a truly mesmerizing maetrik 2 track production.

the self-described “anxiety rhythm” of berlin’s wilted woman, dissects the internal processes of technology through post-industrial glitch, punk, and cut-and-copy aesthetics. barely audible vocals, transmissions, sine waves, 8-bit melodies and pots and pans-like beats intensify the effects of contemporary life on its audience by looking beyond the hd facades to the machines that made them.
her debut 12”, ‘diary of a woman,’ includes the “definitive recordings” of four live set classics and two more recent experiments (lv, trudeau (dither)), recorded over 2015-2016 in providence, montreal, and berlin. for freaky heads only...

emotional response and golf channel come together to release a special collaboration between montezumas rache s christian pannenburg (record loft) and jan shulte (muller/ bufiman) and legendary krautrock guitarist dominik von senger (the phantom band / dunkelziffer). a meeting out of the love of vinyl, where panneburg hails von senger to source phantom band rarities and an idea of working together was born. following the success of the percussive heavy debut wu du wu on second circle, the return to the studio for christian and jan shulte and this resultant ep is a true coming together of cross-generational minds. unfolding across 3 songs of subtly and beauty, mood, structure and atmospherics form in a post-balearic meets psychedelic haze. lilting piano start before dub bass and dominik s refrain melts its way in rheinfahren. voids open, minds expand, felds walked, oceans crossed, seas parted, wind pushes against the face, rolling hills, cloudy skies, sun, sand, love, lost, found, deeper and deeper it goes in to your soul. the uber flow continues at a slower pace with tangerine (krauter mix) taking things down but carrying the interplay between artist s continues as if made for each other. guitar hooks in multiple layers, finger clicks, pots n pans vibes gently taking you from formentara to tisno, malibu, tulum or wherever your heart lies restful. finally, guten morgen bromio is the (bro)mance to end any affair. hip hop roots, jan s mouth-harp underlaying, dominik s licks and christian s dub fx laiden spector commandments shuffle together until group vocals bring them finally to completion. a wonderful ep bringing together 3 artists and 2 labels for the love of music

rubber is new label from the hague with a motley mixture of off-radar electronix for both the experimental clubber and home listener. rubber001 is a bold three-tracker. mannequin records head-honcho alessandro adriani hits the nail on the head with his secret weapons. secondly, reigning from finland, 0.5w (halvtrak and stak etop) pans across the room like running with titanium scissors. the cherry on top is this piece of dutch drum-laden poetry, probably on illegal medication, about a bicycle mechanic from the hague by legends unit moebius, reverend cor gout and salo mentale. all on 180 grams of white vinyl in a white jacket.

other people is excited to debut the work of 19-year-old russian producer gena volgarev, aka inlensk, with the obratno ep. translated as backward, or conversely, obratno seems obsessed with and frustrated by a sense of nostalgia that can never lock its focus. finely etched, highly detailed rhythms retain a cerebral cool fluttering over, under, and around melancholic digital melodies that bend and degrade sporadically. meanwhile, the tactile use of filtering, extreme pans, and hypnotic microprogramming reveals an interest in sounds ability to shift temporal perception and evoke a purely neural response

jeff derringer’s ballorama e.p. is the fourth release from brooklyn born and now berlin based label l.a.g. run by arthur kimskii. the e.p. contains two original tracks the from chicago based techno producer/ smart bar resident with an additional dub version from the duo cassegrain. ballorama is the big room techno bomb with hints of 90&#8242,,,s rave and house like chords and chops. work ethic is an emotional sci-fi roller with restrained emotional melodic tension anchored by rhythmic percussion. the ballorama dub version strips down the original and expertly pans various noise and textures which bounces with tension.

canadian artist paolo rocco makes his debut on saved with people say. from the top there is a unique seductive pad that pans creatively over the cut back percussion. the bass line enters early on and stands out with its original pattern and alternating frequencies, working well with the crisp clap that programmes itself in and out. the vocals are what makes the track. they are catchy just like the bass line, and are processed effectively, maintaining a nice, fresh groove.
over on the flip side is a remix from label boss nic fanciulli that utilises the original parts effectively and maintains an energetic pace with smart programming. both mixes have been creating a real buzz across scene.

yet another unmissable, under the counter trio of cuts, lovingly crafted from the most unusual of sample sources, combined with squeeky clean production values that make this a dancefloor dead cert. moonshine bears more than a passing resemblance to carl craigs monumental -throw- and ploughs an equally devastating groove, utilizing, of all things a chunk of glitter bands -makes you blind- on the flip the off-kilter but irresistble -revenge of the rock-o-mites- is a re-imagining of the lead track from the incredible rock city band’s impossibly rare electro-funk ep from 83 & sounds like allan parsons remixed by dexter. finally -why d you run away- skillfully reinterprets elements of flash & the pans -ayla- and is more than likely to be blasting out of many an adriactic boat party this summer massive

title track fly vision is a monstrous arrangement of funked up genius that features a super heavy bassline, a howling vocoder and diverse ensemble of pots and pans.

in the only cameo appearance here, london s jesse rose (dubsided) puts his chunky house signature on pan-pot s >black dog<. buy one get one for free ist our offer on side a. the pots & pans edit is a bit more reduced. its the typical jesse rose dub edit style. sebo k – >hori zons< exercise one s sleepless in san juan mix exercise one tackles sebo k s >hori zons< and del iver another functional rave anthem. the remix is mainly influenced by their legendary live gig at this years mobilee sonar party at raum. they started doin this remix at exercise one s private afterhour in the mobilee appartments at paseo san juan. ewan persons comment: >berlin s two brightest rising stars clash in mobilee s new remi x project. this is an absolute monster - probably the biggest dancefloor reaction to anything i m playing at the moment<

program 1 sets precedent for bass and distortion by giving zero respect to gravity with its displaced click-clock. the plane is minimal, creeping and crawling behind disorientating moves. program 3 bumps and pans around unpadded walls, snapping and reversing itself into a twilight zone episode of darkness. closing out the session is program 2, a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses that allow the bass in as the melody. influences of hawtin s concept 1 and plastikman (closer-era) projects float along, but jpls (aka jeremy jacobs) draws his own perspective with subtle lines, disjointed rhythm and evolving surprises of tone
