perc trax is proud to unveil the debut ep by pinion, known in a former life as us-based producer bobby dowell. pinion is the sound of a man with his own vision of music, sitting somewhere between classic industrial and contemporary techno without slavishly bowing down to either discipline. where the likes of ancient methods and perc are the sound of metal on metal, pinion is more like wood on leather, a ceremonial throb that switches in an instant from tightly locked grooves to more freeform rhythmic patterns.

that is attack, decay, sustain, release. the adsr envelope is just one type of envelope, but it is a popular one that has been used in electronic music for decades. attack is the period of time after the initial release, it is typically the loudest part of the sound decay is the phase while you are going from the attack to the sustain – you are decaying the volume from this sharp initial phase to the normal volume phase sustain is the normal phase of the sound. it is typically less volume than the attack, and go on for an indefinite period of time, or for a specific amount of time release is the draw down from the sustain period to no sound. a fade out.
mini-lp release, cd version included.

if the black monolith tycho magnetic anomaly one from stanley kubricks classic 2001 felt like partying, he would be throwing his rocks in the air to the vibes from barnt, even without having arms or legs. it is probably because is this what they were born for? is not the first time the dj, producer and co-founder of magazine (barnt, not the monolith) orchestrates his profound knowledge of true cosmic sound design in the most convincing manner.

jack dixon follows a string of critically acclaimed releases for apollo (r&s), take and losing suki (hypercolour) with his debut outing for hotflush. influenced by the sparse atmospherics of wolfgang voigt, the playful intricacy of autechre beats and the off-kilter grooves of uk garage, the berlin-based producer is unconstrained by genre or place, pioneering a modern, progressive sound that has already garnered him a glowing reputation. in turns colourful, ambient, melodic and driving, his new ep feels right at home on scubas label. beginning with a deceptively clean and minimal rhythm, >e< slowly gives way to lush glacial drones, skittering beats and huge euphoric drops to form a bold production that sits somewhere between the early morning techno dancefloors of berlin and the murky sweatbox raves of late-night south london. on the flip, he delivers the soulfully taut >find shelter<. warped vocals weave in and out of an insistent, jazzy house groove, backed by a tapestry of glitches, vinyl crackle and live drum flourishes. it all leads to one of the most delirious and ecstatic drops you will hear this year.

after an outstanding pack of 12-inches for scubas hotflush recordings, london dj and producer sigha a.k.a james shaw confidently returns to the label with his heavily anticipated debut lp, >living with ghosts<. for this offering he presents twelve impressive techno and ambient productions and fuses his love of classic uk techno with the contemporary sound that currently pulses through berlins berghain. >brood<, an additional track not included on the aforementioned album, will be released as a very limited vinyl-only 10 inch, and will never see the digital light of day. the acid-licked scene couple<, a track from the lp, accompanies it.

following his debut on dirt crew with the contribution to our deep love 2? compilation last month rotterdams ben la desh presents his first full lenght ep. 4 blistering and deep grooving tracks that mark his style somewhere between disco, 90s and chicago house. he first caught our attention with great releases on the outernational label and since then we have supported his sound in our sets. slow and deep is the game here.. enjoy!

with influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats. lakkers torann ep, their second release for blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of summer rains, before moving onto the more experimental mustard crying. ciar takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while static & amp is a simple but effective exercise. finally the diminutive but meticulous one note caps the ep off in fine lakker style.

well known for his minimalistic choice of ingredients christoper rau somehow frees himself of any straight format. songs full of sweetness, a glimpse of soul here, a detroit electro influence there, broken beats, breaks that are no breaks, sexyness and funk and fun.

aroy dees mos deep returns with a new ep from italians ksoul & muteoscillator, both of whom have appeared on labels like uzuri and ksouls own kinda soul with a gauzy, dense sound somewhere between techno, acid and full on electronica.

after their sure-fire succession of great releases dam swindle end up on the excellent freerange imprint. and if you like the words deep along with atmospheric then this will most definitely appeal to you. from the opening title track with its lush, moody nu-groove styled pads and thunderous hand-claps these three productions simply ooze class and intensity in abundance. next is >gotta know< which rewinds back to classic house sounds and injects a sense of melody into the already swinging rhythms and punchy, detroit bass. which is then followed by >brotherman< and yet more in-depth moods, this time accompanied by jazzy, scat styled vocals for added diversity. finally we have wolf music main man krl stepping up to remix brotherman and a rather sterling job he does to. making great use of the vocal krl brings us a slowed down version with his trademark shuffling drums and a dynamic arrangement. piano stabs and a cheeky boogie synth sample all help bring his own sound to the track and round off the package perfectly.

2012 sees detroit label, kms records, celebrating its 25th anniversary.

the seven tracks on this lp or the eight on the mixed cd (including two bonus tracks) owe as much to the traditional methods of house or techno and extraterrestrial disco (i shipped around the s-word here) as they disregard it and they are as characteristic to thomas studio space (i used thes-word here) and his sound aesthetics as they are to his infinite will to surprise

the second single to come from miaoux miaouxs acclaimed >light of the north< album, the limited >autopilot< e.p brings us the original track backed with a heavy-duty line-up remixing select tracks from the album. the original title-track is a glittering synth-fuelled hymn to heartbreak, which incorporates elements of bass and hip-hop, while recalling the stylistic flourishes of boards of canada. reworking >hey sound!<, glasgows very own auntie flo and esa bring their exotic stomp to the table: a percussive journey soaked in dubwise holy water. tom furses remix of >stop the clocks< is almost like a reigned-in, beat driven version of john elliots outer space project, thick cosmic ritual elixir bubbling over the sides. already having made his name on skreams disfigured dubz, echo park takes on >autopilot<, turning the original into a cast-iron lesson in militant rhythm. echo parks real talent however lies with integrating elements of the original seamlessly with his own punishing sound palette.

the stone roses were the leaders of the britains late eighties madchester scene, merging pop, dance and indie rock in a seemingly effortless manner. their sound resonated with a number of bands that followed the stone roses in their footsteps: the charlatans uk and happy mondays among others. when released in 1992, turns into stone functioned as a sop to stone roses fans expecting another smash album like their eponymous debut album from 1989. silvertone records released turns into stone as a comprehensive collection of early stone roses material, hits and b-sides of exceptional quality. includes their biggest hit >fools gold<!
pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

the whole ep but more particularly the lead track pays homage to a certain venue in vienna called roxy which a good number of us in the liquid d&b heydays of the mid 2000s and onwards were privileged enough to play at. to say thanks for such great times zero t decided a dedication was in order and here we are!huge support so far from the likes of: friction (on bbc radio 1), ant tc1 (on bbc radio 1), dj hype (on kiss fm), dj die (on kiss fm), bailey (on bbc 1xtra), dj marky, lenzman (on ministry of sound radio), octane & dlr, survival, youngsta, rockwell, brian g, total science, von d, foreign concept, vicious circle, stray, craggz & pf, sunchase.

with his debut ep >swinger<, the multitalent from central germany now wants to conquer the club scene. as dj and event-manager he already has filled the dancefloors. now his songs should do likewise. inspired by the infamous clarinet-grooves of the roaring twenties and biting trombones >swinger< connects the organic sound of hand-played instruments with crunching techno beats.

continuing in a strong and revitalised form that has seen widespread recognition for releases from synkro, troy gunner, szare and stickman, mindset records return with a debut 12 inch for longtime friend of the label, elsewhere. hailing from the same rural locale as sometime production partner stickman, elsewheres infinitely technical productions bear the hallmarks of a studio obsessive, with production values of a higher level helping to deliver three tracks of a unique quality. with productions informed partly by seminal trips to london to stand in front of dmz soundsytems, elsewhere reworks the dystopian dread and power of that sound into something entirely new, with lead track trippin already finding its way into the record bags of akkord, lone, troy gunner and more. bott bott displays intense dynamics with a smartly deployed vocal and a ruthless subbass underpinning a ferocious uk funky influenced drumtrack whilst the espers comes with alternating slices of rude ukg swagger and some subtle atmospheric work.

the anticipated fourth installment of proper trax. featuring two raw-as-fuck cuts each from vanguard sound homeboy chris mitchell and our very own grey people. on the a-side, chris slams it out of the gate with the straight-up, no-bullshit jack of >drum trax<, followed by the searing frequencies of >fury<. flip it over to continue fanning the flames with grey people and the relentless industrial funk of >panik mode<, while reminiscing of times gone by when sporting a dog collar and black-dyed hair was a legit way to get some sleazy indiscriminate sex. as if you werent feeling strange enough, dial it down with >abrahadabra< and make those ripped fishnets drop with a quickness! go hard, get raw, keep it proper.
