cam consequences new label, etcht records is sure to be a continuation of whats already begun for this exciting producer. theres an intellectual curiosity that questions and opposes what we should expect in these anticipated debut tracks. its that sense of the unknown that makes this an exciting, inquisitorial listen. mclaren presents questions. theres a sense of reaching in the juxtaposition or conflict between melodic gentleness and the force of the unknown that first butts heads in, lyon, where we are shaken awake and innocently marched forward, only to be left dangling at the edge. it is that sudden cessation, the technique of knowing when to stop that leaves you with an inexplicable yearning for more...

the release kicks off with title track find my way which features exciting young vocalist, ria morans heartfelt tones. cade opts for swinging 909 drums and a hooky bass-lick as the driving force, while morans voice sporadically eases in and out of the groove and understated chord stabs and tension building strings fuel the musicality, resulting in a classy, deep-house workout. up next is dr. fox, embracing a similar deep, contemporary house aesthetic, with saw-wave bass hits, cosseting pads and hooky vocal snippets acting as the fundamental elements of the cut, cade then plays on subtle variations in the groove throughout its near seven minute duration, to maintain an evolving dynamism and enticement. entering the latter half of the single we have ghostryder up first, cade opts for a more upfront approach this time, bringing busy drum programming to the forefront, alongside sweeping synth tones, a tom-driven bass line and dubbed out vocal licks.

the descent of man ep is the third and last part of a trilogy on vinyl dedicated to charles darwin studies. this final chapter is focused on the darkest side of electronic music and his impact on human psychology. as charles darwin studied the evolution of physical and mental traits, we want to show how obscure, trembling and aggressive sounds generate an increasing sense of agitation and loss while mild and gloomy atmospheres can relieve the body and brain, achieving a peaceful state of mind. dont be afraid to move into a shady space. this is not the end even if it could be.

love pain sunshine & rain aka lopasura, on only its second release is evidently becoming a force to be reckoned with. benedikt freys distinct rugged aesthetics toy with some conceptual ideas for each contribution, flirting with greek mythologies, romantic legends and the idea of intricate layered meanings and rhetorics for the ep as a whole. coarse kick drums and clattering percussions are used in conjunction with epic industrial and machine-like synth lines, beautifully engineered and held together by the mixed emotions and moody atmospheres present in all three tracks. the genuine and heart-felt intent with frey’s work is undeniable, producing a fine and certain quality that will surely resonate with anyone in favour of the live and raw musical attributes he is skillfully displaying with each new release.

after last years dystopic debut, super strength ep, rising parisian cedric bros aka marcelus returns to tresor with something a little more deep and shiny in emerald. once again marcelus conjures up the spirits of detroit and berlin techno, moulding them here into dreamy modern house incantations-an inspired blurring of the lines the well-versed frenchman has been rehearsing over the last decade.

we are super excited to bring you the debut release from portugals finest, tiago miranda on his new label interzona 13. joo joo leads the charge with a sample slammer reminiscent of the dancefloor dynamite from japans cult major force label. on the flip, interzona is a precision percussion jam that gets hold and wont let go - pure voodoo. finally maquina dos sonhos wraps up this superb selection with a slice of tripped out balearia. wonderful stuff!

after the killer release by marco shuttle vidd is back after a long silence with their 2nd release. a special release from somebody who has done a lot in a very short time: gw from stockholm. surrounded by mystery and simplicity, hurry up demonstrates both power and heft with few elements. the driving force builds a tension which really doesnt reach a peak, something that the locked groove vocal manages to balance perfectly. the energy is constant and keeps things interesting. the b-side starts off with runaway, a chicago-resembling funk track that reflects the 90s tradition and the new digital age. tonight closes the doors of this release and the closing lights come on, it is time to go home.
