one of the most charismatic and respected djs in poland, eltron (aka eltron john) presents what is probably the most expressely club-oriented record in transatlantyk history. his four track offering sounds much like his sets - ferocious and subtle, raw and sophisticated at the same time. the main mix of b&s blends druggy deepness inspired by the vibe of 90s tribal america with uk funky riddims, creating the sort of pneumatic house groove that never fails to get the party rocking. this simple, yet meticulously produced tune has already been road-tested and received enthusiastic feedback from a number of jocks around europe, and the vinyl version seems destined to strengthen its deserved banger-with-a-message status. the dub version of fuses layers of darker, industrial bleeps with a classic break and a rather healthy dose of echo. trippy and rough, yet exhilarating - it is exactly the kind of track you want to hear in a dark warehouse. switch to the b-side for the light , where sampled vocals, pitched-down drums and fuzzy pads are combined to form a unique specimen of lo-fi r n b, eltron-style. this hazy groove is guaranteed to guide dancers ever-so-gently into the light of the morning. finally, reprise exposes the bare bones of the original. with its dubby, in-your-face quality, it is one for the track heads, definitely.

• to fully grasp the essence of contur003 we must focus our attention to its most basic bits of information. we must observe its pure dna, hardcoded into the bassline and subtly passed from track to track, only to suffer minor mutations. we must experience es pion s game of smoke and mirrors over the simple cadence. we must indulge in bass vilain s erratic loops or in the dub suspense built in the hideout.

we are new york bound for the second release from rex music, as we invite the charismatic boss of soul people music, fred p-aka black jazz consortium to bring us an exquisite ep, which holds true to his persona: elegant, deep and refined. like the chronology of a day, evolving from dawn to dusk, fred p takes us on a journey through three well-crafted tracks to compose an intimate ballad. ‘wave patterns’ sets the tone with a smooth, airy atmosphere – minimalist yet progressive, it will have you enraptured as the subtle pads weave in and out of the background, dancing a pirouette with the low end. the dubby, hypnotic ripple of the bass ushers in a bright glow like sunrise at the beginning of a glorious day...from there, we move on to side b where ‘continuous sensation’ accompanies us until sunset. soothing and playful, with a delightful string riff and mellow, warm bassline, it’s full of the joys of the daytime. finally, fred p closes out the ep with a harder, more angular workout. ‘unbroken circles’ is made for the twilight hours, when the sun has set and we’re wrapped up in a warm, dense evening. simple, mysterious and crisp… a great way to finish up an outstanding ep from our man, fred p

two slices of brilliant brazilian disco, painel de controle have a few bangers across their rca lps, these two being my favourites. *relax* is a straight up boogie monster, well known to deep disco & boogie heads flipped with *malandrinh* with its insanely catchy guitar. the original brazilian *relax* 7 inch plays at 33rpm (like many brazilian 45s), if you know you are cutting you will know this is not ideal. our new 7 inch is 45rpm and cut from a super crisp new master from the tapes at timmon cutting labs, sounds about 5x better than the o.g. ... simple choice.

die wild beasts veröffentlichen ihre zweite single aus dem aktuellen album -present tense- mit drei hochwertigen remixversionen als limitierte whitelabel 12inch. die midtempo-nummer entwickelt sich nach ruhigem beginn zu einer regelrechten hymne, die vom treibenden beat zusammengehalten wird und exemplarisch für das wohlbekannte gefühl aus zärtlichkeit, extrovertiertheit und perkussivem drive steht, das die wild beats seit jeher repräsentieren. trotzdem verpassen sie nicht die gelegenheit, sich auch auf diesem song weiterzuentwickeln. am stärksten wird dies wohl durch die parts deutlich, die zum mitsingen einladen und so -a simple beautiful truth- quasi zu einem selbstläufer bei live-performances machen. neben der albumversion des songs finden sich auf der whitelabel 12inch remixes von lone, darum und east indie youth!
