ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

ricardo villalobos playlist!! the endless white of the far north. the opening melodies of adam marshalls >north at night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. a small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. at first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. as he approaches, the music grows clearer. like the warmth of the first sunlight >rose mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of rhodes electric piano chords. adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >mfb flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. marshall said… >ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few canadians, ive had no real experience of the north. ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. and the north has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<

axel karakasis once more unleashes his talents and demonstrates his skills in the piranha e.p. in the first track on the main side, the techno wizkid mightily combines a set of systemshaking loops and detroitfunklike piano keys that escalate into a crazy pitching, distortion not to be messed with! add to these some powerful percussion and ominus snares, together with karakasis trademark filter spins and twists and its an epic track that stands out on its own. bloody chamber alternates between nocturnal basslines, vicious subbass and high-pitched synths that are spinetingling. here, axel flirts with electro but you can always rely on him to bring in some serious groove: the result is solid, coherent and the track is something more than special!! the remain side proves equally mindblowing and. flesh eating! piranha is a stunner, adorned with aggressive drums, booming beats and odd sounds throughout the track. once again, it is axels energetic style that comes through, making this track a powerful club tool

in contrast to a recurring theme of uninviting releases by labels that seem to offer tracks- so easy to digest they get lost with an un-inspiring and flat feel, the collaboration of hermanez and ramom tapia is a coupling of dark moods and techy deepness, listen even deeper and you?l find a wealth of detail stuffed full of mythical rides push an organ into a dark corner and have it brutally assaulted by a groove-hungry gang of latin approved drums and the outcome is pretty much that of miconns second release. syncopated sturdy percussion and hi hats sit amongst a spring-loaded beat whilst lazy organ keys relax the pace

new jakbeat tracks from chicago on the always limited and vinyl exclusive nation records. villan x/naughty wood/jonny quest - sikk truth is a heat of the moment track. created with pulsating novation tones and an early 80s keyboard with step style sequencing. naughty wood enters the dimension of neo futurism by reflecting the emotional state of the mind body continuum. james t cotton feat. rodger devine - the monolith immediately asserts its colossal melody and takes the listener through a multitude of polyphonic phases without departing from its underlying dark groove. not unlike the eerie monolith in 2001: a space odyssey, the voice of monolith is pervasive and urgent with its sharp articulation, pentatonic motifs and moto perpetuo arpeggios.
