the debut release for kalyma on connected, the brixton/berlin based label distributed by kompakt records and run by terranova and stereo mcs. a1 laydown original kalyma teams up with his friend, singer and songwriter peter stanowsky. the song was written during a relaxed and loose jamming session in late summer time at their home studio. the vocal performance is surrounded by a groovy and very percussive beat. after a long, calm intro a hypnotic bass melody kicks in together with more percussive elements in order to get up to full speed. the catchy bass combined with the repetitive vocals gets the listener in a driving, rhythmical, dreamy mood lay down was made to enable smooth transitions in the dynamic range of a diverse house dj set, without loosing energy and create a special intimate, percussive vibe

on t you get fooled by the name of our 8th release! no up no down is the main title and the song itself is everything but linear. the organic percussion rhythms in combination with the warbling subbassline gets you into the groove from the first moment. the booming kicks and rough-hewn hats is lending a vibrant edge to the mix. a morphing ethereal guitar riff, filtered to the edge and the slightly insane giggeling vocal effects, carry you away in a chant-like hypnosis. nothing here feels like a static loop. it s a masterclass in restraint, tension built to breaking and then get resolved.

for their tenth release, voodoo down has again chosen to debut a new act to add to their label roster. andy harper and nic ford have been making music together for over a decade but began releasing in earnest under the name maddermodes in 2014 on their own label, shift coordinate points. they have since put out records on the labels millions of moments and night drive music. their handful of releases have already drawn support from top names like move d and nick höppner, and its clear that the duos sound is only getting more refined with each successive record. the ep entitled emprical evidence is a wholly cinematic piece of work, spread across four tracks that unravel slowly, unified by a theme of pumping syncopated rhythms under sprawling pad and string progressions. its easy to get lost in the thick arrangements, and the inventive use of samples and melodic elements invite repeat listening. equally suitable for early morning hours, ultra-deep techno sets, or quiet home listening sessions.

the second release is a split between the label owners lc12 and the rising star autre.

on the other surface autre is killing it with filter sessions 329, a mental techno trip did while experimenting with his new filter bank, an 808 and a juno 106. the b2 is an elegant track with a fred p-esque touch, suitable for every kind of dance floor.

wir bei seayou records freuen uns über das signing der kanadischen soulsängerin erin costelo. die erste single “fighter” ist der vorbote zu ihrem neuen album “down below, the status quo”, das seayou in europa im april veröffentlichen wird. während klassischer soul und pop am vorgänger “we can get over” die verzückung des aufkeimens einer liebesbeziehung untermalten, dominiert am neuen album ein ungeschönter, ein unerschrockener blick auf costelos (und unser aller) leben, besonders gut zu hören in songs wie “fighter”, “low” und “titanic”. auf der anderen seite, und um die balance zu halten, stehen lieder wie “move” und “turn it on”, die hoffnung und kraft geben sollen. mit der inhaltlichen geht auch eine musikalische evolution einher, eine weiterentwicklung costelos als produzentin, songwriterin und arrangeurin. dazu eine eindringliche soul-stimme, die weder in nordamerika noch in europa vergleiche scheuen muss.
