just when you thought you knew what you were going to get from flashmob they switch it up completely, stamping their mark of quality and proving their versatility as producers they turn in an old school acid house stomp. dark, rumbling bass, spoken female vocal, and complimentary 303 acid squelches make both the garage mix and panorama mix equally at home in a field around the m25 circa 88 as it does on the floor at dc10 in 2013. watch out. acid house is back!

since 2009 xxxy, aka rupert taylor, has released a string of 12 inches through labels like infrasonics, well rounded and ten thousand yen that have showed off his idiosyncratic takes on uk garage and bass-driven house. his debut for rinse picks up where they left off, with three tracks of shimmering, synth-led house music, marked out by taylor’s distinctive spiralling melodies and sampled voices.

following the release of *everything hits*, his debut album for rush hour recordings, this eps three tracks are among the most unique and charming expressions of policys already eccentric aesthetic. let the title track prowl through soundsystems, stabbed with cavernous horns and dogged by the most infectious woodblock in recent memory. employ the ebullient *walk up* to add some fizz with dizzy organ riffs and jaunty brass notes. or perhaps conjure a reflective mood with the tensely plucked bass lines, bittersweet melodies, and live percussion of *thick nostalgia*.

upon the first listen, the work of fernando unfolds directly on your brain and leaves a long lasting feeling of drama. fernando pulichino is one those lucky guys who can pick up any instrument and write songs without breaking a sweat. he first caught my attention with a remake of the bauhaus classic kick in the eye released on redux in 2008. he then backed up this great start with releases and remixes for labels like international feel, under the shade, internasjonal and nang. he also very busy touring as part of the 2020 soundsystem band and he is also in silver city with julian sanza.
we decided to put together a long player to highlight the talents of our man in buenos aires. the construction of *float* reveals an astonishing wealth of musical ideas, brazen touches of new wave and icy modern disco sounds are evident throughout. low slung basses are also a theme that runs right through *float* whether it is the opening song *a place* which has a monster electronic bottom end or *from out there* which sits firmly on the punk funk dinner table, bass lines are clearly important to fernando.

the small, exquisitely formed take records maintain their reputation for tracks that elegantly live their life on the peripheries of house and techno with this release from one of the labels co-owners, rick grant, and a fine cabal of remixers. the west london-based producers original mix adopts the full widescreen effect, cascading deep bass throbs and a trembling metallic clatter across a ponderous 2-step click. consequences reworking wires in some heavy-ass sub-bass transmissions and a rapid-fire hi-hat rhythm, before jack dixons late-night submission takes a clockwork 4/4 tempo and bolts a springy, low-slung bassline to it, accompanied by layers of velvety synth patterns. crossing is an ep of uniformly consistent quality, where texture and atmosphere take the spotlight.

wie der bootsmann auf der scholle sitzt the micronaut inmitten der tosenden klangfluten unserer zeit. mit versonnenem lächeln lauscht er dem rhythmischen murmeln, angelt hin und wieder einen akkord heraus, mischt ihn mit den bunten fantasiefrüchten seines kleinen eilands und kocht daraus sein ganz eigenes süppchen. diesmal serviert er uns einen durchweg lebensbejahenden hörgenuss namens what else, in dem sich männlicher und weiblicher gesang über entspanntem aber erbaulichem groove vereinen. im remix dazu orientiert sich mollono.bass am song-orientierten charakter des originals, bringt das ganze aber etwas mehr den punkt, an welchem der sound auf der tanzfläche optimal ist. die b-seite fischt dann in den gründen des friedfisch, und zieht zwei nie gehörte remixes zum gleichnamigen debütalbum von the micronaut aus der tiefe. da ist zum einen die einlullend-hypnotische dub techno nummer der lake people, die mairenke auf stehendem subbass anrichten. und zum anderen das perlende klangspiel und die sprudelnden, gebrochenen beats von map.aches version der rotfeder

parisian techno enfant terrible mondkopf makes a rare excursion away from his fast rising in paradisium imprint to deliver an ep for perc trax, a label that clearly shares mondkopfs love for the experimental, the industrial and the distorted. across these three tracks the french producer applies an overdriven, fuzz-heavy aesthetic to symphonic broken beat techno. think ancient methods or perc at their most uncompromising but then expanded in every direction heavier bass, sharper highs and an orchestral edge that is epic without ever coming across as contrived.

the first track is reminiscent of a military drum ritual dating back to the middle ages in which drums were used to create a melody that would call the soldiers on their feet at dawn. the second original track is a destroyer with intermittent drum patters and analogue bass lines that will leave nothing unaltered. conrad van ortons takes us deep into the eery world that lies beneath us. patrick kriegers interpretation is a magical dance floor track with eminent eloquence.

manmakemusic kick-off 2013 with their housiest offering to date from two new label artists, natan h & amy jean. natan h made his debut last year with anton zaps ethereal sound and on this occasion collaborates with longtime creative partner for an ep of bumping, unconventional house music. title track, *for her*, is a beast of unrivalled warmth working a deep and steady groove to perfection. on the flip, *i know* is a soulful disco-infused workout while *rush* takes aim squarely at the late night raver with its enveloping pads and low-slung bass line.

mit dem album aoxomoxoa sind viele premieren der band verbunden. es war das erste album, das sie ausschließlich in tonstudios in nähe ihrer heimatstadt san francisco aufnahm, im pacific recording studio bei san mateo und im pacific high recording studio direkt in san francisco. es ist das erste album, bei dem tom constanten als festes bandmitglied mitspielte. robert hunter arbeitete nur als offizieller songwriter für die band und mit garcia bis zu dessen tod zusammen. zum ersten mal wurde ein schwerpunkt bei akustischen songs wie mountains of the moon und duprees diamond blues gelegt. somit musste lesh zum ersten mal einen akustischen bass spielen, was er mit dem spielen einer violine verglich, da dieser keine bünde für die finger hat.

for the second release on the transit records kyoto imprint, kyoto underground track-maker & dj ryoma sasaki lays down 2 cuts and then theres still the remix from berlins own tagträumer² that works just as well on all floors. >take me back to myself< is the lead track with the piano riff that makes floors hot. >all begin from here< is the deep house, bass heavy track that explodes with a sophisticated sax line. tagträumer² has remixed this track for transit records kyoto into a steady building, surging tech-house masterpiece that will sound great on club speakers

knox is the band brainchild of brother-sister duo nic and eliza coolidge. hailing from boston and new york, the siblings released their second ep, here, on december 3rd, and it is a big step forward for the band. formed less than two years ago, in march 2011, knox finds themselves working with the likes of john tejada and kuxxan suum on this release, and the outcome is stunning. here is five-song set full of ice and echoes. it runs as close to the third rail of impersonation, but flies away so quickly that knox sounds contextual and perfectly fresh. the influences from james blake is clear: the swooping, bomber bass and half-timey compressed dub beats, here could also easily be an inventive b-side to the latest how to dress well album. but, with the limited scale, interspersed remixes and foundling status in the scene, i would say it is likely a more impressive feat. the ep as a whole is desolate. expansive spaces filled with cold little beats and vocal washes, exploring in the course of five songs an icescape aesthetic with a sense of place usually reserved for full-length albums. the remixes blend so seamlessly that i didnt even realize they were during my first, casual listen.

shameless toady are delighted to announce their latest release from london-based rising star pip williams. >analog sequences< is a limited 4 track ep on heavyweight 12 inch vinyl. clearly not one to limit his style to any one genre, toad007 features a wealth of cutting-edge uk bass music spanning electro and dubstep through to subtle and melodic modular ramblings.

detroit veteran len bartush (mutate) returns to advance the series that began with the now classic circle 1. a full round kick and jack style upbeats are all that is necessary to support the deep, modulated synth lines that travel through lush plates of reverb. alberto pascual hits a homerun with his remix that will move any club, festival, or warehouse party. project 313s remix supplies moving synth lines are stripped down and replaced with driving rhythms and pulsating bass making this a superb techno offering. the plankton remix turns up the tension with warehouse style percussion and intertwining rhythms complimented by science- fictionesque stabs and pounding bass. the >circle 2< ep is an essential piece of detroit minimalism.

underbelly records return this january with a three track ep from dutch producer wouter de moor, entitled >dx love< and backed with a remix from kris wadsworth.
the kris wadsworths zombie surfer remix opens the ep here and in true wadsworth fashion embraces a raw, dubbed out detroit vibe. punchy drilling beats and underlying twisted melodies drive the track alongside a penetrating arpeggiated bass-line, the result is a moody, peak-time slow bloomer with a touch of class as expected from the detroit master.
pressing on white vinyl.

preceding the release of bad cop bad cops debut album >wings of techno<, 4 tracks of the long player get the remix treatment by a unique quartet of techno artists: tobias, group niob, brendon moeller and pomelos upcoming star kemetrix. >wings of techno< is a psychedelic tour-de force through various styles of electronic sounds. deep and unique, jacking at times while laid back and cosmic at others. all four remixers on duty here manage to keep the psychedelic and surreal feel of the originals intact while adding a great dose of dancefloor friendliness to the tracks. ostguts tobias. reworks hilton hihat into a deep and dreamy acid techno tune. he is followed by motor city talent kemetrix, who steps up the pace and edginess with a twisted, stomping electro-techno hybrid remake of beauty. group niob, the viennese duo formed by cheap records legend gerhard potuznik and martin dibek, contrast the goth-pop vocals of the original bodyless material with deep dubbed- out techno beats. and lastly, the unmistakeable brendon moeller turns cheeky into an undulating, deep bass driven dub techno stomper

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

after 21 releases and covering most areas of house its time to introduce anaxander and present a new sound to the ever growing local talk catalogue. the a side antionette is a perfect electronic influenced body-locking flavored track, an organ alongside a bouncing bass and a rhythmic feel is sometimes all you need to get moving ! its the b-side that really take things to the next level. anaxander both puts his own clever stamp on these two tracks and delivers acid in the old, vintage sense that owes more to the raw and unpolished club tracks played by ron hardy at music box than to the old school house vibes you have expected from local talk. both cat feeding and i want you now are two tracks of a new era of local talk. innovating, futuristic and original produced electronic analogue funk for 2012
