simoncino (aka nick anthony) from italian super edit label no more hits crosses the atlantic and finds a new home with on the prowls sub-label party breaks. what immediately stands out upon first listen is the production style, not being able to tell what is a sample and what has been replayed… much like tensnakes mega hit. the simoncino sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and cheap 80s pads, his concoction boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. all four tracks are subtle hits in their own right. excellent ep!

vinyl only 4 track release, taken from the forthcoming album >breakdown<, featuring remixes by seiji, klic, warrior one and evil nine.

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

aeroplanes highly anticipated debut album >we cant fly< has finally found its way into the stores. now its time to follow up the first singles >we cant fly< and >superstar< with a new one, >without lies<. on vocal duties here is sky ferreira, the american singer and actress, who has her own debut album coming up next year. pop music doesnt often get more pure and beautiful than this!
the remixes this time are being provided by black van – the newest moniker from kris menace & kowesix – and ed banger artist breakbot, that broke through with >baby i m yours< earlier this year.
when i eat cake, i prefer the cherry.

influenced by distorted electro sounds, to orchestral,jazz and blues pieces such as shostakovich and tom waits,he presents his first record,3 twisted and rocking tracks on archibell records.the first track right in the spotlight is >tokamak< a track with a dark kick and grind, featuring layered synths and vocal samples that break and drop with attitude.no time for intros this track hits hard and fast and leaves unexpectedly. next up is >g.i.g.a.s<, defined by its epic breaks, driving melody and sudden mood swing.perhaps the less sinister track out of the three, probably to give you a break for whats coming up next. unlike tokamak, nyxstarts with a slow baleful, classically influenced intro filled with suspense. eventually dropping into a deep atmospheric hard hitting groove. evil rhythm crafted with precise microsampling.

much more bmore with dj class and dj technix!

yep, thats right. synth pop sensations heartbreak remixed by the horrors. tom furse from the horrors has a fearsome collection of analogue synths and used them to rebuild this track from heartbreaks debut album from the ground up, and a killer job hes done too. as ali and sebastian from heartbreak both release on dissident their label lex thought it would be a good idea if dissident did the 12 inch release. obviously due to the nature of this release and the addition of the combined horrors / heartbreak fanbase its pretty much an instant collectors item and will fly out of the door at a fair old rate of knots so please make sure you order enough to keep everyone happy, i doubt well have any of these left by the end of the week. the clip is taken from the second half of the track as it turns into a glorious cosmic synthesizer orgy, theres plenty of arpeggiated trackiness before it gets to this bit

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

ultraphat clubbin electrohouse monster , incl remixes by laidback luke, wawa, wolfgang gartner...

the climax, great summery track with the characteristic digital base vibe, full of intensity and melody. this track could easily fit from any dj playing in ibiza to any breaks dj trying to get the girls shacking their body to the beats.
