next slammin techno ep on rekids

on the second trule release al wootton (aka deadboy) drops his first ever record under his own name. traces of dub, uk garage and techno inform the forward leaning, club-focused sound. on selah, al creates a driving steppers rhythm shot through with dub manipulations and uk swing. omega and untitled on the b side continue in the percussive, tracky, swung techno vein of the first trule record.

in the first release of rome based nvda, cosimo damiano brings 4 tracks together between jungle, techno and ambient. the audiovisual work traces the mythological imagery recalled by the etymology of its name (diana nemorense the pre-roman goddess of hunting), and its mood, which at times takes a dramatic turn, with the individual tracks transmitting a dark and nostalgic sensitivity.

another year on the hitd calendar, another stunning new solo release with brian case plays paradise artificial. this third album somehow manages to compile and condense the best bits of its predecessors, and the magnificent viridian, glacial universe developed by case since the beginning of his solo ventures is brought to the forefront. the chicago artist centres his elusive, dehumanised compositions around two simple, minimal elements. using just vocals and synths, he has created a simultaneously modern and post-apocalyptic soundtrack, where music exists as the final traces of the footsteps of humanity. pressing on translucent yellow vinyl.

h1 displays an idea of pop music that came together through years of living, long rounds of editing, re-amping, sending files to friends, a vista of san francisco and walks on the outskirts of cologne. the songs could appear in blazing sunlight, empty rooms or city nights. on the sleeves of the 330 records, acrylic colors flow together and congeal in a clear plastic mass.

time flies, doesn’t it? it sure does when you suddenly wake up to celebrate your 10th vinyl release as a small label, which is the case with us. but as we’re all about quality over quantity, our latest 12” offering comes with a superb collage of fresh music by the one and only radicall. having made his mark as one of the most consistent producers, known for his trademark combination of strong, dynamic drum programming and soft and booming basslines, radicall keeps on delivering top-quality music with each next release. and this 12” single is no exception to the said rule. the playful, happy-go-lucky “touch” is a bit of a nod to the old-school/rave/early jungle/footwork/you-name-it style given its complex drum pattern and an array of acid-style synthetic samples and tinges of vocal here and there, but sticking to modern-day standards nonetheless. the flipside comes with “build me up” remixed by bungle, who surely knows how to make good things just as good as they are, but yet a bit different. and here we have the brazilian powerhouse reshaping radicall’s work to make it a bit lighter and upbeat, but still retaining some elements of rawness mixed perfectly with traces of nostalgia. an excellent job, breathing a new life into the original piece - a darker-shaded straight-to-the-point roller, which you can get as a digital bonus added to the release. so here it is - the tenth vinyl item in our catalogue, featuring names you simply can’t go wrong with. what better way to celebrate the occasion?

on “5 star motel”, that younger gitkin (henceforth referred to simply as gitkin) has sought to expand the philosophy he encountered on that tape. the guitar is common thread, the raft to navigate a sun-dappled stream of ideas. it’s an embrace of cultures where folkloric stringed instruments still rule, or where they ve led to a more recent embrace of the electric guitar. he traces the loose, meandering paths which join them together.

argentinian veteran jorge savoretti has been djing for more than 20 years, and his first release for esperanza records traces back to 2005. in this time laps he has produced 2 albums, 20 eps and a great number of remixes, on labels such as raum musik, visionquest and ilian tape. his debut on cadenza is a crisp breeze of graceful music for dancing. side a starts point-blank with bou gei bouncing shuffle, driving bass line, lively cymbals, sparkling band-passed chords, summing-up jorge s true dedication to nightclubs and nightlife. with no reprieve, ruth suspicious pads lurk behind a funky swinging rhythm spruced up by a continuous surfacing of snare rolls and giggly stabs. on the b side, sensu dub explores without hesitation darker textures and resonances, leaving no concessions to leave the dancefloor. finally u-fonk #04.01 dives into sweating hotblooded late-time hours, with am hypnotising deep-toned coil, soaked of greasy riffs and gloomy fumes.

fresh from his lets roll ep on radio slaves rekids, hopeworks curator lo shea further cements his status as a true innovator of the uk underground with the iterations ep on duskys 17 steps. leading the charge, iterations is 8 dark twisted minutes of tripped-out melodic techno that will sweat the walls of warehouses from london to tokyo drawing a lineage from the omen, atomic jam and the orbit through to berghain, de school and hopeworks itself. on the remix, stockholm’s peder mannerfelt takes it down an industrial rabbit hole of terror-core synths, rave sirens and sonic paranoia. across rest of ep, lo shea flexes his sonic diversity with ornithurae offering an intruiging mix of bruising bass, twitchy layer loaded percussion and sinister soundscapes - somewhere between d&b don dillinja circa 96, early claude von stroke, radioactive man and fellow sheffield legend oris jay. dark, soulful and ravey, higher closes things off with a uniquely uk hybrid that traces lines through militant tresor-heyday techno, vintage strictly rhythm diva house and hardcore vibes.

e ruscha v, who has previously released on the label under the secret circuit moniker, comes back with his first full-length under his given name. ruscha describes who are you as spanning states “from calm to ecstatic but mostly in-between these.” this description points toward the liminal atmospherics of the music, which dispose of the many hallmark genre traces that informed secret circuit’s galactic journeying. for who are you, ruscha was content to wander more intimate environments, in search of an uncharted music rippling with humble discovery. the vinyl release includesd a download code.

after dominating our piccadilly player with his recent lp -it s alright between us as it is-, norwegian disco hero hans-peter lindstrøm drops a dj friendly maxi 12- of brand new track -didn t know better-. harking back to his collaborative lp with christabelle, this party starter is packed with infectious boogie licks, propulsive grooves, soulful strings and killer vocals from ronika. a masterpiece of retro-futurist pop perfection, -didn t know better- traces a line between mirrorball masterpieces from nyc 83, ibiza 99 and ross 128b in the year 2030. alongside the sequined shimmer of the original version, we get an acapella, and a lindstrom remix which piles on the feel good with jingo style pianos, mellifluous keys and some club trop style riffage - utterly infectious and exactly what a dull february morning requires.

the empire line present six cyclonic episodes for confined spaces on their debut album, rave. comprised of posh isolation s christian stadgaard (damien dubrovnik, vanity productions), jonas ronnberg (varg), and with isak hansen (iron sight) on tantrums, the trio s marauding live shows have been translated into a slippery set of pummelling techno works, watermarked with florid noise. rave is a celebration of contemporary rave culture, focused on the everlasting and transcendent as the night slips out past the day. with living-for-the-weekend hedonism irretrievably converted into a manicured, violent cliche, building new worlds and forging new modes of intimacy takes an exceptional sincerity. naming some of the crews closest to the empire line in the album s titles, their spaces are examples of just how rave culture persists as a transgressive stronghold in people s lives. ranging from k-hole anthems to jacking, close-range sessions, rave still bears the traces of the group s experimental background, ensuring the tension is kept up through the catharsis.

(2x12inch lp, 140g vinyl) max durantes first lp in a 30 year career, the experiment, is a new, left field direction for an artist whose history traces from the birth of techno, through idm, industrial and electro. spread over four sides of vinyl, the experimentconsists of beatless pieces (which reveal another character when slowed to 33rpm), broken-beat techno and straight-up dancefloor trips.

lvis mejía s newest project, titled anthropology of amnesia is an acousmatic essay addressing our utter necessity to remember in the face of existential oblivion, an innate behaviour of the human race. presented as a 33 minute long continuous composition, anthropology of amnesia unrolls as a series of chapters, the contemplative character of the piece opening a particular frame within the listening experience, where lvis mejía attempts to convey the phenomenon of the collective consciousness through the cultural traces we leave behind. mejía s takes the idea of -one species, one culture, one past- and places it at the center of the concept of the piece. anthropology of amnesia examines a number of interpretations of rituals, orchestrations, chants, synthesis and field recordings - nestled within the piece are recordings of animals, fire, water and a human heart - the sum of these sonic identities incidentally reshaping their roots. the diversity of the sonic sources highlights the comparative study element of mejía s work yet the common thread remains the human experience, recorded stories and the viva voce.

deep and tripping stuff from argentine producer, ana helder.. the label say: ana helder, the argentinian girl with the special twist, is back with a hand full of tracks. they are mean, dirty, harmful, amorevolous, seductive and addictive. surrender tunes from a producer and dj that does not think in boxes. for müstique she looked into her always-growing production crate and found some post-punk waving funk odes, which want more than just to dance this mess around. they bring soulful lsd-melodies for jazz lovers with techno legs that like to get high on liquid liquid. they are electronic but yet so organic. and they move deeply while spreading the feel of a meditative rest. when diagnose heard them first, he came to the idea of writing a script for a flick that tells the story of a music-making machine, which has more to offer than answers. it forms sound with no traces of reality, but is so human that humans fear it. why did he think that way? only because of what ana helder recently got to say? well, let the music play

prelude ep is the inceptive release of oxmose, which marks the first entry in an ongoing catalogue, and the beginning of a journey with various artists. at its heart, the prelude ep is a dialogue between two composers a conversation that traces the line between abstract, electronic experimentalism and glitering interpretive jazz. parisian producer shcaa takes control of side a with core a near 20 minutes exploration into sound, which skirts the fringes of avant-garde minimalism and experimental rhythms. the songs acute cadence lays a dense and atmospheric foundation for the ep. side b sees romanian artist traian chereches offer-up an absorbing counterpoint to shcaas opener on cage. the energy of chereches rebuttal fuses organic and interpretive sounds into a deft jazz reinterpretation, revealing a wide and surprising cinematic ambience. mastered by rashad becker from dubplates & mastering berlin prelude will be released on limited edition 12inch, 180g heavyweight vinyl with an outer sleeve featuring handmade artwork created by graphic designer alice voinea.the organic materials used in her work, emphasizing the interchange of the record adding a further layer of continuity one that stretches between the artist, the music and the listener.

after a brief hiatus, the disdat crew is back in action & ready to unveil their third release. dorian paic & federico molinari hit the ground running with “hamal,” a stomper aimed straight at the dancefloor. martinez’s “occurrence” is a psychotropic experience, with distorted whispers and glitches riding over a dark, weighty groove. on the flip, lee burton explores the ethers with “ndn”, a mind-bending work with traces of detroit nostalgia and a drexciyan influence. rounding out the ep is a reissue of the classic “you’re just a body (you’re just a freak)” by scott edwards, first released in 1998 under the name “phlash.” it sounds as fresh as it did almost 20 years, a euphoric and high-energy track guaranteed to move the dance floor.

this 4-track ep combines ambient and techno elements to create immersive landscapes, which later on transform into the techno grooves. the concept of this release, “unknown frequency”, defines the limited nature of human perception, which is unable to experience the full universe of the sound.
on the a-side lies the main concept track as well as its landscape/ambient version. both works express the positive tension and harmonious excitement of the discoveries to come. on the b-side, first track - “traces” continues the search of the unknown. this time, darker regions of mind are explored by the sinister grooves and minimalistic atmospheres. final track “looking for the exit” is supposed to give an answer and release the tension of the ep, but after experiencing the unknown, nothing is the same anymore.

any system contained in our universe tends to reach a stable equilibrium state. in the invisible world of sounds, it’s about harmony. the 4th release on liniar is more like an electronic alchemy where wobbly baselines wearing traces of detroit dna bring order to the apparently chaotic showdown of experimental bits & pieces. leading every single sound to balance.

nice price deal !!! likhan swings himself away from the dubtech sound with two deep house inspired jaunts. while theres traces of his former sound, both tracks operate on a house tempo with melodic organ motifs and laidback percussion more inspired by the prescription catalogue or dj gregory than anything in the modern dubste quarters. however, its not all nice, keeping some semblance of dirt under the fingernails with rude squelching bottom end and ruffed-up soca shuffles compatible with the post-step, funky brigade

perth, capital of western australia, sits where the swan river meets the southwest coast. sandy beaches line its suburbs giving purpose to hot summer days, but after sundown, the city is where its at if you know where to look. its possible that this double-life is what inspired the deep, melodic, futuristic sounds of one of australia s most mysterious electronic dance music labels of the 90s - red ember records.

ondon-based duo jamka return with inter alia, the latest evidence of their patient, intimate relationship with their analogue machines. from the start there’s a sense of event – we encounter clear, interlaced electronic textures, powerful analogue drones and well-placed beats. the tracks aren’t soundscapes so much as fertile electronic soundfields. patemp continuously expands in an incredibly subtle but powerful way and shows that jamka’s technical skills don’t preclude an emotional touch. on the tight and minimal anazmo, the coiled energy bears traces of minimal techno and radical electronica, but it’s beyond either of these. while the album passes quickly, it’s full of detail and the thoughtfulness and craft that have gone into it are evident. dwa offers the chance to appreciate the flow and the sheen of its analogue textures – the modernist romance of the power line hum and its promise of technological-cultural progress. jamka are known for their dynamic live performances and this energy is almost tangible on derazor. the stately igora is a strong, bold close to the album, offering surprises right till the end. the sharp, metallic details ripple through the mix and an anthemic sequence shines through. inter alia makes clear that jamka are worthy inheritors of slovakia’s proud late modernist traditions of radical architecture and electronic music. this is a work of craft that demands respect and repeated listening.

mculo s latest asks you to do a double take. in the second release for his homegrown roots by the oder imprint, i caught a glance, a first listen to the ep s a-side introduces a dancefloor-centric house number punctuated by the loop of a somehow ceremonious melodic riff. listen again and it lures you in with hypnotic atmospheres and valleys of endless synth. the b-side gets deeper still, wasting no time in putting forth stronger basslines and traces of growling lows. a second listen offers a more pastoral diffusion as you pick up on the soft drums and pads, classic groove, and a climate that comes full circle, recalling the a-side s easy ambiance

gone beyond. that s what they say when an (astro) pilot crashes to earth and takes the journey into the big sky. when juan trippe took that last flight little did he know that his re-incarnated self would be an electronic pioneer. in tandem with his co-pilot guido zen (his own father also a pilot) and kyle martin (from the land of light) they formed brain machine and scaled the highest peaks to bring back music both unearthly and intensely human. are we all not stardust anyway? this music proves it, takes you out flips you over and rolls you in stardust. don t try and think it through, make sense of it, grasp it - just wander in wonder and bask in beauty. get lost again.
