on the genre smashing what she wants, metrics productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings into his music. inspired by everything from jacques le cont and daft punk to his obsession with bad 80s records and krautrock rhythms, metric chops up the beats n vocals here like if he were prince signed to ed banger. slamming tracks like oh percolate with ironic electro pop synths and brash hip hop attitude, while breakin hearts seduces with chunky guitar glitch given the trademark metric acid wash. the e.p.s cheeky power culminates in the title track, what she wants, a squelching dancefloor stormer whose chunky hooks bring rude rock intensity to electronic club thump

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!

lerosa is dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa. the title track ruski combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. on the flip, russell and tempio are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and rhodes-like chords. born in rome, leo developed a love of electronic music through italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house. he began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of autechre, drexciya and the extended detroit-inspired musical underworld. leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. his debut lerosa release was the ‘maike ep’ on dublin’s d1 recordings in 2005. as well as this real soon release, leo also has a forthcoming 12inch on enclave recordings (ireland)

with his new 10inch single, >deserter<, and the forthcoming asa breed lp, dear works again under his birthname to combine his atmospheric production with distinctive vocals to craft a sophisticated take on avant-pop. >deserter< is a moody, robust and elegant marriage of beats and melody, including his best lyricism to date. its dawn music, submerged in a warm gauze of synths and anchored by a relentless backbeat. the exclusive >you know what i would do< hits the dance vibe that dear is known for with a prince-esque minimalism and funk, while the flip side hosts four tet s dreamy reinterpretation of >deserter< , owing as much to classic detroit techno as it does to balearic island classics

imagine the audacity of fusing, in less than five minutes, the entire history of dance music: from the sexual liberation of 70s disco to the gimmicky black funk of chic, from dark 80s house to the ecstatic electro which lit up 90s raves and also from daft punks french touch to todays guitar riffs that are driving the kids wild. take an innocent childrens chorus backed by pulsing electronics and an arpeggiator that sends chills up your spine topped then top it off with disco violins, nice! and what better way to make bodies move, since it is dance music after all, than a mastery of production that rocks the beat in the mould of great american producers like timbaland, the neptunes and dr dre. this is a hit that is ten years ahead of its time , paying homage to the seminal house music of larry levans remix of sesame street, « d.a.n.c.e » by justice is already a classic as their pop music influences continue to revolutionize dance music culture

joakim is back.this time tough, he surprises us with a small pop jewel! but lonely hearts is not a classic pop song, it is much more joakims interpretation of one. a catchy tune, which does not want to be one. an exciting contrast between catchiness and a bleeping onslaught.on lonely hearts, cheesy sounding strings really stand out over a stoic stomping drum beat, dark singing grates against beeping keyboard playing, in the chorus a wonderful melody has a comforting effect over the very sad lyrics.in addition to the album version and the radio edit, the lonely hearts maxi also features the loving hand remix by tim goldsworthy. the musician (lcd soundsystem) and label owner (dfa records) skillfully pulls lonely hearts to the left, brushing it into a dark club track. with the distorted slow motion vocals, the funky bass run and the demanding beats, it is suddenly very close to the sound that already characterized joakims club hits are you vegetarian and come into my kitchen. and you ll also fin a joakim dub of the track. this dub keep the pop side of the song with a more catchy approach for a more dancefloor version of the original and with always the weirdness you use to find now in the joakim production !supported by tim sweeney, prins thomas
