following 2013s ubiquitous smash untitled and last years heavyweight erotic discourse remixes, paul woolford returns to the hotflush fold with a double-headed cerberus, orbit/ mdma. flexing signature versatility, woolford goes from heads-down to hands-in-the-air in the flip of a record: a dance floor locked in to the twisted sirens of acid rave (orbit) experiences a sudden belly rush as it collectively comes up to piano breakdowns and female chant (mdma). towering and physical, the record epitomises paul woolford’s enduring popularity.

modernist ep #1 shows just why woolford is currently being hailed as the best producer in his genre right now from the likes of pete tong, francois kevorkian, mr c et al. woolfords current >erotic discourse< is being hailed as one of those tracks that has captured the imagination of both house and techno djs alike. .and so onto modernist #1, and whilst woolford nods to the past on title track 313, the arrangement and structure of the infectious cut is as modern as electronic dance gets right now. on part one, warm and lush pads herald an epic 11 minute production that twists and turns, all the while keeping the solid groove flowing. part two on the flip presents a rawer and heavier take, the driving cowbell rhythm, snaking synth line and sub bass will cause much devastation

dense + pika remix seminal nervous records house tune rain by kerri chandler dense & pika are a british electronic production/artist/dj duo compromising of producer/djs alex jones (hypercolour label boss) and chris spero better known to many by his glimpse alias. the duo first came into fruition in mid 2011 with a number of white label releases. it wasnt long until they were noticed by scuba and have since had multiple releases under their belt on adam beyers drumcode, scubas acclaimed hotflush imprint and have branched out onto the elusive hypercolour. dense & pika have also been showing off their remixing talents by reworking the likes of adam beyer & ida engberg, digitalism, disclosure, kda, leftfield, maya jane coles, x-press 2 and also paul woolfords erotic discourse, which won the dj mag category for best remix in 2014.

braiden s material has been slow to come out since he first landed with a bang on doldrums back in 2010. a turn on rush hour confirmed his status as a producer in command of the chops necessary to get a dancefloor shaking, but this years x years in london ost cassette was a chance for him to expand into more experimental pastures. not so on this new 12inch for his off out label, which finds braiden turning up the heat with some fiercely modern tech house workouts. v.o.l.a.t has the same kind of dangerous earworm armour that made paul woolfords erotic discourse so potent all those years ago. hydroplane meanwhile takes some of the crisp but playful tropes of pearson sound et al and straps them to a thrumming motorik beat

dense & pika return to hotflush with their first original material since last year s smash, colt . meanwhile they issued a chart-topping remix of paul woolford s erotic discourse with a signature bombast that carries over into the present klank ep. six tracks leave plenty of room for variety, however, from the toecap shuffle of the eponymous lead track to bad ink s melodic grand designs, through slacker s binary jack and the pared-down house groove that is slowhand , not to mention the aquatic depths explored by wandering hands , we see dense & pika s muscles at full flex.
