mit precious veröffentlicht till von sein sein zweites solo-album. schon aus dem albumtitel lässt sich der wert des materials für dessen urheber ablesen. -precious- darf man als aufarbeitung früher und aktueller einflüsse begreifen. es versammelt mit u.a. mr. v, meggy, kevork & maria, the black 80s und kid enigma eine hochkarätige feature-liste auf interpretationen all der musikalischen schätze, die das künstlerische charakterprofil von seins am nachhaltigsten geprägt haben. auf diese weise fließt das album zwischen house, r&b und versoulter popmusik, führt die entlegensten bpm-welten aufs stylishste zusammen und meistert den doch oft zum scheitern verurteilten versuch, floor-funktion mit songwriter-ambition oder gar airplay-tauglichkeit zu verknüpfen.

nowadays we live in an era of minimally processed products, an age where electronic music is no longer a meticulous and painstaking craft but instead becomes a dish of fast-food, an easy-to-digest and cheap product. luckily, there are still musicians who refuse to enter this business circle and continue exploring, investigating all angles of this clubbing culture. joton has been following this way since the beginning of his career. he has been learning, experimenting, looking for the roots sound, and shaping its complexity until reaching a techno style full of energy and depth.

stay underground it pays returns! relatively unknown newcomer modula brings us a slab of ruff n ready analog cuts, with a real standout remix from fuckthegovernment! said remix of controllo by f.t.g is so good that it is the opener of the whole record. it’s a remix built for late night experiences, one for the warehouse, with it’s wailing, ravey vocal samples and subterranean rolling acid bassline. the a side is rounded off by modulas tape mix of controllo. doing what it says on the tin, the graininess and saturation that tape production brings is instantly noticeable. while the tape mix is not as sinister as f.t.gs remix, nor as spatially dense, its greater emphasis on synth work is bound to make it a favourite for many suit fans.the b side takes on more of techno form than the a side. kicking off with intrigo (tape edits), the pad sounds give it an ethereal atmosphere, contrasting the almost militant feel of the percussion and bassline. immerso (instrumental mix) is probably the highest energy pick of the bunch, lots of bleepy synth work and crispy power claps might make this track the djs pick of the record. all in all, a top record from modula! dont sleep on it!

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

toxic is the name of the first lamp, in a series of more to come, on the cover made by remy the feyter – glass blower artist. the tracks are composed by dieter vorderhake and are a natural inspiration of 20 years of techno influence. liroconite and cornubite are natural stones with the same colors as the lamp, hence the names of the tracks. tingeling, the name of the third track, is a dutch word which will translate itself more or less into a ding-dong sound. this sound is one of the prominent sounds in the track which announces a change in the track. it is inspired on the sound the metro doors make in amsterdam when they close. the metro is ready to continue its journey… so is the song.

roberto capuano releases his first single on truesoul with two exceptional tracks that show a techier side to roberto s sound and one that impresses throughout. the title track never stop has been a highlight in adam beyers sets and its easy to understand why. the creeping vocal and driving drums are an inaugural part of the track before the uniquely pleasing pads drop in and create a gripping and immersive track to get lost in. around is a techier track that implements a throbbing underlying bass line that sits and keeps the track driving under a roaring vocal.

black vinyl 180g jacked in full colour printed sleeve. non succede niente- as a stagnating state of mind that rises into neurotic anguish, - non succede niente - as the soothing chant of a mother to her baby. mace s new ep blends in its track these two antithetic yet intertwined situations. “non succede niente - for this reason is drenched in this sort of unfulfilled dualism. these extremely different states of mind are juxtaposed in the succession of the tracks, where introspection and auditory blurriness of tracks like * 21% * or * la fine del sistema aureo* - in this last one the recollection of long past memories is both related to childhood reminiscences and collective historical memory - give space to the shining awareness and self-determination of * ti fissano* and the hope for the future portrayed in * synàptein*.
