this version of the end of it all will ensure the tracks legacy as one of johns most valued classics

over the past few years john tejada has been splitting his time working with long time collaborator arian leviste and more recent collaborator justin maxwell. why not combine all 3? palette all-stars is just that. a collaboration between the 3 main palette artists, each (tejada, leviste and maxwell) playing a particular role in each song. from the ep opener, >after school special< you get a sense of the trio each working on a particular element. tejada’s driving drums, maxwell’s modular synth work, and leviste’s bassline elements sculpt a driving track with a classic feel. >the pilot< features leviste’s smooth melodic synth work while maxwell processes through the modular and tejada privides the dubby beats. the ep finisher >downtown hotel< features a mad maxwell modular freakout and driving 808 s

new ep by australian newcomer jonus eric

john tejada with his unique style again on his own palette label

as palette recordings approaches its 23 year anniversary, john tejada returns to the label he started in 1996 with a new 4-track ep entitled “performance review.”

while perfectly fitting the deep house cabinet, this ep taps on various styles within this genre. jayson wynters, well known for his releases on mr gs phoenix g label and dont be afraid, sets the pace with sherellas kiss a powerful groove and beautiful chord pads embedded in an upbuilding percussive atmosphere. this is a very personal track from jayson and this dedication to sherella is testimony to the immortality that can be found in the power of a soulmate. italian artist duccio, who previously released on the label greta cottage workshop delivers a melodic track with mediative vocals while ukraines kiddmisha gets his well deserved second appearance on batti batti with an immersive electro cut. hailing from chicago, the artist weakmassive makes his debut to the label with a smooth acidic track which could be a perfect opening or an encore to a long night out!

following his widely praised smoke signals album, overlook returns to uvb-76 music with all of them witches, a five track ep steeped in occult suggestion. four original works and a positive centre remix coerce the listener into a sound palette that maintains the powerful dynamics of drum & bass while overlooks masterful story telling lends compelling narrative: ritualistic, seductive and arcane.

mysterious vinyl only label befog cooperates with all inn black. the result is four minimalist house-like dreamy trips. four colours served from the same palette. teasing tasty bits from the shadows.

pulse locker refers to the analog method of synching analog modular instruments and drum machines, a method of working john tejada & josh humphrey have embraced to generate their trademark sounds and grooves. preferring to work away from the computer as much as possible, john and josh have adapted a more old school approach to their work, syncing analog gear together, not from a computer, but the way it was synced back in the day. the results are a tight, organic analog sound showcased particularly by the 2nd track >bifur gates<. with a tr-808 as master clock, syncing the modular system, the sound takes you back to the mid 90s era of techno. real 808 beats, punchy bass and an ever so shifting classic chord line will leave you lingering for the days of old. on the a side, >pulse locker< with its big and warm groove, gets things moving with a blend of house and techno. rounding out the ep, >unanimous arc< showcases the mad acid sounds possible on the sh-101 while modular chords elevate the track to a manic pace. >pulse locker< marks the duos third collaboration on palette recordings.

eshu records returns, after a succesful first release, with a 4 track ep that shows the many sides of the techno spectrum eshu records admires. an excellent selection with tracks from mattias fridell, tomas rubeck, myles serge and imugem orihasam. a nice list of talented up and coming producers from all over the globe (sweden, detroit, uk, germany). smoking techno tracks with influences from detroit techno, duuby berlin sounds and more straight forward club bangers. worth the check!!

m_rec ltd is proud to welcome on board cassegarin, greek-british producer tsiridis and berlin/vienna based composer and producer evirgen. in this new vinyl m_rec ltd, they show two original tracks and a remix by ed davenport. the a side opens with a painter of modern life, a track where they paint their perfect rhythm of modern life. a sequence of hypnotic techno where the rhythms are never heavy, clean sound. a brilliant and apparent melody seems to revolve around. a touch of class that only few can maintain.complete the a side, a remix of an artist who has a lot of quality: ed davenport (figure spc, liebe detail, nrk music, etc.) he drags the original track into a vortex of syncopated rhythms and deep atmospheres, the groove that comes out is amazing. on the b side cassegrain show one track. palette is very techno, the rhythm is direct and straight without stopping. light and soft sounds rise up slowly. everything is transformed into a pleasant trip, exciting and alive.

john tejada & justin maxwell are at it again with a new 3 song ep. following in the footsteps of their classic release >mindbend<, the duo continues their unique approach to collaboration using a hardware modular synth setup. the title track >our gigantic mistake< is a unique blend of 808 beats and screaming modular synth lines. the b sides >whoops (there it is)< and >wheres the cable?< explore a darker side of dark acidic late night techno.

tejada and humphrey made their debut together late in 09 with their >marooned ep<. >assimilation< continues the theme of being marooned in los angeles. the four works compiled here are the result of the best moments out of 20 recording sessions. the music is for the most part assembled with analog instruments with humphrey and tejada bringing their modular gear together for the sessions. humphreys knowledge of synths and programming is quite extensive. he until recently helped operate la based big city music, a dealer of modular and boutique synthesizers.

stunning bassheavy techhouse 3 track ep

excellent minimal tech house monster !!! sicherer schuss !!!

fresh water is the debut work by london based musician and visual artist, jake marshall. across eight tracks marshall twirls and bends his sound palette around motifs of emergency and crisis, “i was interested in distress sounds, sirens, flares etc”. the many sonic limitations in fresh water demonstrate marshall’s uniqueness. all kinds of plastic, caustic sounds, german ambulance sirens, bleeps rattling off unknown morse code, the highly synthetic strings emerging from the silence, it creates a somehow organic yet inhumane, but addictive turbulence.

trelik returns with a repackaged edition of one of the catalogues most treasured releases. overcome and lady science (nyc sunrise) need little introduction, and now come sporting the new tr11:11 matrix number. written and produced by thomas melchior and baby ford aka soul capsule. these tracks came from one of the many sessions recorded at the west london ifach studio in 1999. on the a side overcome is stripped back and energetic, driven by rolling and shuffling garage style beats, tight bubbling bass and atmospheric synth pads. the intermittent vocal samples and the release s signature organ set you up for the flip, lady science (nyc sunrise) . possibly one of house music s most emotive pieces, the track builds slowly with the introduction of each part building a story of soulful optimism based around a sparse palette of deep synths, uplifting keys and warm analogue bass. the understated beauty of the main vocal riff never seems to grow old or tired with the track lending itself perfectly to either main room, peak-time play or after-hours sessions alike. remastered by rashad at d & m

multicast dynamics returns to astral industries for ai-26, this time collaborating with sid hille, the german born, finland based instrumentalist and composer. ‘metamorphosis’ transmutes both artists’ unique styles into a synergistic blend of transportive storytelling, a delicate dance of light and dark.divided into two parts, ’metamorphosis’ originates from a live performance recorded at temppeliaukio church in helsinki on march 2nd, 2019. the material was then edited, where hille’s soothing keyboard work and haunting passages on the theremin, combine with processed textures and desolate sonic backdrops from dijk. in this voyage beyond space and time, the subtle dialogue reveals new and perhaps unexpected dimensions in their creative arsenal, finding fresh new boundaries and enriching the palette of both performers. encounters of sweet fleeting moments of lyricism emerge amidst the chilling outback, in which we re given some final consolation between the long lines of cavernous rifts and deep space tundra.

martinesque is back on home turf! following up from last years effort, >profound< doubles down on the psychedelic qualities. geared towards the early hours, he s served up three cuts of intimate ritual music. take the title track: during its 8 minute runtime, we are led down the rabbit hole of progressive house music. it is a modern take on the format, full of disorientating spatial modulation, brooding texture, and the emotional depth we ve come to expect from the artist. the b-side further illuminates this path. >watercourse< introduces a playful twitch to the palette, full of life-affirming echoes and melodies. rounding things off is the deepest track of the lot: >blackbird< features effective call-and-response vocals, continuously intertwining with its gently tripping bassline. a meticulously assembled package, this record sees martinesque deliver his most playful outing yet.
