eleve welcomes leonid into the family with otherworld ep. the madrid-based irish producer has deployed during the last years some of the finest records of the house panorama, for labels such as sistrum, dolly or more recently freebeat. this record fits perfectly in the red series started in eleve 02 by dj f and jose rico, with the focus on the dancefloor. leonid brings a three-track ep whose amazing sound and percussion, trademark basslines and detroitish leads and pads promise to transport many dancers to other worlds. a side starts with xana, an esoteric house excursion with a mechanical edge. next track is púca, in the spirit of his deepest previous work with a characteristic syncopated bassline. b side long track is embarr, an adventurous imagination trip across the sea, classic leonid elements such relentless percussion and heavy bassline meets acid elements to create a one-way ticket to universal sub-conscience.

perception of time is a variable that transcends any state known to us (or presumed). dragged by a force majeure, the dionysian spirit is a life force and chaos of becoming. the apollonian spirit is fleeing from the unpredictability of events. the eternal return is a trap which is subjected to static human destiny.

one-take ambient instrumental travels, composed in strict committee by the trio of kevin blagg, william suran, and dante carfagna. recorded spontaneously in rural arkansas, bulging sub-woofers lope through fissures of skeletal banjo and pitched down pedal steel, while delicately arranged basins of synth and guitar reverberate, providing a steady stream of granular epiphanies. utterly faded, yet still possessing crystalline clarity, these twelve songs continually attain summits rarely reached within the span of four-minute transmissions.

andre kronerts seminal exu ep gets a comprehensive rework from some of the most outstanding on the scene. tense and sinister new cuts from kronert introduce both sides of the release, whilst the label calls upon remixes from berlin mainstays efdemin and ed davenport, as well as hollands finest export juan sanchez, plus stockholm ltd label boss par grindvik alongside fellow swede peder mannerfelt.

retaining the slurred vocal of the original, efdemin layers thundering effects over chasmic bass in his mix of into the zone, which saw heavy rotation last year. meanwhile davenport brings a wild yet streamlined intensity to c.o.d.e.2.
side b sees grindvik team up with mannerfelt to provide a joint interpretation of into the zone, which they manipulate into a peak-time epic, with a soaring melody over hammering toms. finally, juan sanchez channels funk through roll the dice with a twitchy, groove-laden rework.

the spirit of exu is made physical once again via 12 inches and 27 minutes of wax.

cute heels screamed onto the scene with his debut album on dark entries. the colombian s blend of ebm and minimal synth with driving rhythms electrified interest with juan atkins describing him as -the new blood and spirit for the next step in techno music.- tough words to live up to, but this talented artist has done atkins proud with his excellent five tracker, nepotism ep. measured and thoughtful the ep is packed with eclipsed wave and bold beats. future classics shine from the drop. -nepotism structure-, with its blackened chords and stark chords, is brimming with a primal energy. -madame counsellor- ups the tempo, adding some extra squalor with wretched 303 writhe. cute heels refuses to sit in one genre, electro coming to a head in the shimmering mechanics of -cabaret literal.- -the pulse (sex drive)- closes in a seedy blur of neon lights and showing synthlines. bleak and bold brilliance from bogota.

motor city. the home of hi-tek soul. or simply, the origin. just a few of the names with which to descibe a city in the heart of america that has the power to captivate ones imagination. in the early 20th century it revolutionized transport, ushered in an age of previously unknown mobility and became the automotive capital of the world. during the 60s it gave us motown, one of the most influential r&b and soul record labels to ever exist. and, before the turn of the millennium, it would bring forth another musical revolution: the one called techno music. to abstract division, the city of detroit and its artists are a major source of inspiration. as such, they decided their newest metropolis ep was to be an hommage, a means of giving back. this special package includes an original track that keeps close to the spirit of melodic, rhythmic, minimalism detroit is known for. it also features three very special remixes by close friends oscar mulero - under his trolley route alias (which he hasnt released music under since 2010) - function, who ups the darker ante and marcel fengler who infuses it with his trademark berlin funk.

for centuries, young wild boars have been denied of their right to gather freely and fall in love. their military based rituals were designated to reinforce twisted ethical principles in the minds of the followers and were the only social interaction allowed. a group of young infidels finally stopped fighting the urge and created a new ritual based on dancing, called lambada. this spiritual journey awoke the suppressed spirit of the wild boar and revealed the sincerely beautiful nature of this noble animal. sadly, lambada soon became known as the forbidden dance and all its partakers were persecuted. to this day, lambada remains an underground ritual and the legalize lambada crew is on a quest to revive it by throwing disco parties and pressing undercover vinyl. true infidels in the likes of riccio and mikeburns are sending us the first manifest!

finale sessions founder michael zucker steps into the limelight with his first full ep for the label in the five years it has been running. zucker has of course featured on a handful of split releases from finale but he doesn t waste any of the space afforded here with a quartet of superb and varied productions. leading the way, techno track his spirit bristles with life and percussive energy whilst inner city peace will likely raise some interested eyebrows in west london thanks to its killer broken beat programming. face down, zucker dips into his personal archives for an unreleased and rather crisp remix of introspective and jenifa mayanja hookup when the rain comes down whilst the wonderfully named spiritual graffiti ends the release on a high note

a1. celestial encounter (original mix) 6:08 – 4×4 driven groover laced with choppy hi-hats, complexed rhythms, and orchestration only fit for mental travels. an uplifting tune of spirit and electronic sorcery. a2. ominous 4:58 – steely industrial percussion, creepy atmospheres, dance floor know-how. the honest depiction of the title lurking within the corners of your psyche. a3. celestial encounters (interlude) 1:22 a fine example of the latest in signature interludes from the optic nerve project. movement & imagination. b1. jazzy circuitry 4:49- moody, computer-ridden textures walking along side a odd-time signature until the introduction of the bassline and trippy piano keys seal the deal on craft & creation. niceness, indeed. b2. jazzy circuitry ( blaktonys step glide remix ) 4:18 traditional optic nerve ambience is chopped & rehashed into a 1/2 step groover then blasted into a full jam session by blaktony. madness/a complete new trip on the original structure & tune.

lunatic with its second release. jennifer touch as the producer and singer presents three tracks in that beautiful mixture between cold new wave and dramatic synthpop that we all love. after several releases on ortloff, riotvan and female pressure she is now going to show full strength in her first solo-ep.

acid, no wave and experimental house producer drvg cvltvre has been busy recently. after releasing with chris moss acid on shipwrec in 2014, vincent koreman then served up a full ep of his own, on dutch label cos_mos and is now back once again with a new four track affair on pinkman that comes two years after he offered up the label’s first ep in 2013. up first, * my houz* is a swampy house track with heavy drums, whirring machines and white noise textures all adding up to an intense affair that sounds like little else. then comes * tyranny of the gods* , a slow tempo but high impact track that builds and builds on a nerve lead synth line as frazzled bass props things up from below. dark and weird, occult and rave, its another unique proposition. on the flip, * sleepdealer* is an unbalanced house track with taught, tight bass and is shot through with laser like synths. serene and spaced out, it makes way for closer * crack spirit guide* which is a noisy, intense and brooding fusion of crisp percussion, big walls of synth and chattering drums that really have you on edge. once agin, then, drvg cvltvre has come up with the idiosyncratic goods.

mit precious veröffentlicht till von sein sein zweites solo-album. schon aus dem albumtitel lässt sich der wert des materials für dessen urheber ablesen. -precious- darf man als aufarbeitung früher und aktueller einflüsse begreifen. es versammelt mit u.a. mr. v, meggy, kevork & maria, the black 80s und kid enigma eine hochkarätige feature-liste auf interpretationen all der musikalischen schätze, die das künstlerische charakterprofil von seins am nachhaltigsten geprägt haben. auf diese weise fließt das album zwischen house, r&b und versoulter popmusik, führt die entlegensten bpm-welten aufs stylishste zusammen und meistert den doch oft zum scheitern verurteilten versuch, floor-funktion mit songwriter-ambition oder gar airplay-tauglichkeit zu verknüpfen.

now living in warsaw, donnell knox was well known, along with black nation s jay denham for forging a tough, distinct kalamazoo techno sound in the 90s. his label, sonic mind, put out some very coveted, underground wax that still sounds unique, extra rugged, and fresh. well d-knox is now on a bit of a comeback mission it seems, with some really inspiring new material, and “africa calling”. the first version, created to donnell’s much loved “spirit man” alias, is a soulful trek through layers of pads and emotive synth work. the simple, but uplifting, vocal snippet really gives it an organic and spiritual feel, the tempo is driving and quick, but the overall vibe is laid back and deep. remixes come from the likes of brooklyn based titonton duvante, who maximizes a synth pattern to a form a beautiful, reaching, version, while canada’a rennie foster channels his futago traxx style to present a full on tribal, drum based mix with added vocal pieces. also, detroit transplant, now living in canada as well, j garrett goes in with a very emotional, warm, string laden take. the ep is capped off with another version from donnell that could stand as it’s own track really, a totally different, but equally as strong, version featuring a driving baseline and detroit style string vamps. a really nice release, worthy of your support, from a well loved veteran of the techno underground.

after the last lessizmore release found san proper and maayan nidam crossing swords for the simmering, jammed-out tones of it was a night like this, now the label turns to another close ally for a slice of discerning, upfront house music. louis mcguire lives many different lives in music, from drumming with indie pop outfit ballet school to playing bass for lo-fi electronica group the waves & us. now though his own solo productions are being noticed in the house and techno world, with this new ep following on from a well-received debut on supply records. the diversity of mcguire’s musical leanings feeds into his distinctive sound, as his own take on stripped down, sensual house music bristles with unconventional energy to make for an unforgettable experience that steps up to the most creative frontiers of dance music. live drum sounds rattle around the mix free from quantized safety, while the melodic tones come on warm and fuzzy, capturing the hazy romance of a late morning session as much as the early part of the evening. it’s apparent that mcguire’s weapon of choice is the mpc, channeling his love of gritty beats in the grand tradition of point g and j. dilla. you can hear the spirit of the most adventurous micro house pioneers in the quirky funk of light hearted, while Óreitha revels in the transcendental qualities of a sustained groove without even a whisper of monotony. even with these unusual qualities the music is resolutely built for the dancefloor, and that mcguire manages to be so creative and so focused in the same beat is reason enough to keep tabs on this multifarious and unpredictable operator.
