fresh from lovers rock: two new hypnotic live takes from ital, recorded at red bull studios in madrid this june. aptly-titled a-side *throbbing* rides a spiraling arpeggio in and out of focus against a jacking 909 beat, while *nodding* builds from a simple motif into a resonating, full-immersion soundscape.

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.

new kanada enters the fall 2012 season with some dark angular acidic house. black and medleys >roll the dice< - featuring the voice of rosina – is an old-school blend of disco, ny house and classic toronto warehouse vibes. slightly acidic, with its bubbling juno bassline – and slightly techno with the driving, repetitive beat – this house track should rock the deepest of dancefloors. file somewhere between henry street and early adonis. 5am - no earlier. for the flipside, adam marshall sits down at the controls for a clinical, tight, stripped-down scrubbing, turning the original into a late-night fear edit. broken, diffused drums and lots of black empty space in this one. the lights go out – blackout.

with the first single release of beijing rock, paul brcic (paul brtschitsch) brings a driving yet emotional production into the world of electronic sounds. an unmistakable, pulsating beat reminiscent of detroit-techno, smooth percussion, and a catchy bass line make up the songs foundation, immediately casting a bewitching spell and leaving no room for detours. carefully arranged samples from the 40s mould the centrepiece of the club bangers and move in perfect harmony with the full synth and fx sounds. without a doubt, paul brcic sets off a multifaceted sound explosion with a first look at the album beijing rock, scheduled for release in autumn 2012, always keeping one eye on production-technical details and the other on organic sound. beijing rock immediately invades the senses from the first measure, taking you along a journey outside of the clubs of this world and catapulting you just as quickly back to the sweat-inducing, wild nights. absolutely magnificent - paul brcic in his purest form. the b-side acid & camambert clatters as if on rails through the fields of sound and sets off one adrenaline rush after another with its clear basslines and consistently rising networks of beats. exquisite superstructures and effect dramaturgy breathe life into acid & camambert with an unbelievable energy and nearly acidic characteristics.
