akin to deconstruction itself, >the gift< symbolised the credible mid 90s dance hit. surrounded by a fog of cheap commercial fodder, way out wests roberta flack-sampling crossover anthem shone like a beacon, reaching the top 15 of the uk singles chart in 1996.
kicking off the new package is way out wests own 2010 remix. toughening up the original break based drums and adding a few new synth lines is all wow needed to do to breath a second life in their ubiquitous track.
gui borattos remix takes the track into deep tech house territory. gui flips the track to a straight 4/4 beat, adding some organic percussion, side chained chords and his trademark warm distorted synths to create a truly euphoric groove.
tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.
its a fine line between reference and cliche

its a fine line between moody and dark
its a fine line between independent and arrogant
its a fine line between obscure and abstruse
its a fine line between intricate and complex
its a fine line between passion and obsession
its a fine line between ambiguity and confusion
its a fine line between style and genre
its a fine line between loud and proud
its a fine line between repetitive and repetition
its a fine line between principles and rules
its a fine line between simple and easy
its a fine line between ideas and ideals
its a fine line between nu and new
its a fine line between disco and disco

might niko schwind be the new kingpin of house music? everybody needs to find out for himself of course and that is best done when listening to his freshest output for stil vor talent: the “midnightfunk” ep. it kicks off with the title track that features the great chicagoeske vocal skills of patrick blasa, who takes us in on this journey towards a time when house music ruled the waves of the club oceans. imagine a sticky slap bass, cowbells, high-pitched vocals and low-pitched male laughing plus of course the greatest thing about this scorcher: a somewhat jetlagged piano that seems to leap behind in one moment to then be right there again when it matters. ace!
the fresh, new label tonschleife presents the first release. the single >we are material< from hardware hits the dancefloor like a bomb! big electro and the lovely voice à just great. are you material?
fresh from the highly anticipated phonique lp, kissing strangers, we present this super package based around the track our time our chance featuring the haunting vocals of ian whitelaw.
this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.
this is massive, its being battered by everyone and their dog, andy c, hype, grooverider, friction, blah blah blah. on this collaboration with interface, dj die is at his very best. anthem.
a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it

more than most, jason amms work as solvent embodies the original ethos of >synth-pop<: hook-laden music built lovingly out of the buzz and hum of analogue synthesizers. solvents newest full-length on ghostly international - his first in nearly six years - is called subject to shift, and its title reflects the changing tone of amms music.

after a couple of succesful releases on her label vinyl did it and the limited series they are changing it, dia comes out with the next single on this limited one sided series (300), twelveinchesoflove. moody pads and a walking bassline simmer under sharp hi hats and playful cymbals as serene chords steep the vibe in the ambiance of a hot smoke filled room. all of this is brought to a boil as urgent vocals and whoops get slapped around by chicago uprock hand claps. jazz grooves drift back in on top, rounding out this versatile house stormer aimed squarely at those who dont need to be told twice that its time to dance
