LADONIA EP
12 Inch
06.10.16
bologna s frank agrario decided to take destiny into his own hands earlier this year, founding micronation records as an outlet for his music. the ladonia ep - named after a disputed micro-nation in southern sweden - is agrario s second missive for the imprint, and features a particularly luscious, amospheric dancefloor roller named after the state s most famous landmark, a sculpture called -nimis-. arguably even better is -i played that track already , a dusty, detroit style deep house cut blessed with a bold cowbell line, sustained chords, and a nagging vocal hook. rick wade provides a deliciously deep and soulful interpretation of that track, while the softly jazzy, broken-house track -lesboa- is also worth a listen.

REWORKS VOL. 1 (MARTIN BUTTRICH / PATRICE BAUMEL REMIXES)
12 Inch
06.10.16
re:works is the result of a groundbreaking project that sees the rich catalogue of decca classics being opened to some of the worlds foremost electronic producers, seeking to further establish the common ground between the historic and modern day aspects of musical composition. ranging from the experimental to the more recognisable 4/4 structures of house and techno, re:works elicits the full range of emotion – from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. francesco tristano takes on one of the most recogniseable piano riffs of all time with his remix of ‘merry christmas mr. laurence, which, after a brief introduction of that seminal loop, descends into deep, dubby house cut punctuated by shimmering keys. patrice baumels remix is an intense techno workout that is in many ways the antithesis of his definitive roar: a non-stop pummeling via clattering percussion and a heavy, pulsing bassline. completing the package, grammy-nominated studio legend martin buttrich delivers a melancholy, minimalistic techno take on saties gnossienne no.4

the grooves of thomas white and pete williams aka natural rhythm, have been a mainstay in the sets of robsoul boss phil weeks for more than a decade. today he pays ‘tribute’ with a special re-release of some of his favourites. born in a garage in the late 90’s, natural rhythm was a meeting of passionate musical minds. working together the pair sought to create their own style and sound, influenced by the tracks they were regularly spinning in their own dj sets across the country. creative sampling and their own raw beats, together with live instrumentation and regular guest vocalists, saw natural rhythm create a strong catalogue that, as we know, are still getting played today. with three albums and over 35 ep/single releases to their name, there more than enough music for label boss weeks to select from for the tribute ep. a tough job? of course. however, phil went straight for the four that never leave his box. leading the ep are the sun-drenched vocal vibes of ‘something big’, the title track of natural rhythm’s 1999 release on under the counter. our a2 is the lead track from 2001’s last call at the martini ranch ep, ‘chicago nights’, with its quaking bassline and disco dalliance. on the flip we’re treated to a choice selection from natural rhythm’s 1999 double album contrast in nature. first up with its celestial chimes and thumping kick is ‘smoldering island’, taken from the original part 1. closing the tribute release and taken from part 2 is the devilishly funky and suitably titled feelgood jam ‘energized’. we definitely are!

nice price deal !!! ”rundgang” (feedback in swedish) is a track made with feedback and i would call it a.o.t’s very own and personal interpretation of dubstep with ”lyrics” that reflects his wicked sense of humor. ”woot!” on the other hand is an evil excursion in filtered frequency noises and a distorted start/stop rhythm and this is nothing for the faint hearted so brace yourself you are in for a crazy trip verging on techno. the go koyashiki remix takes remixing to another level because go has stripped ”rundgang” to it’s bare essentials and produced a very minimal and slow pulsating track that ends with sublime pianoplaying.

inga mauer loves trains. -it s a fantastic chance to be nowhere-, she says. from cologne to clone is, in many ways, a celebration of this nomadic sense of existence. -i don t need a home, only a studio-, she confirms. recorded in a period when inga lived between cologne and rotterdam, home to the famed clone records shop (hence the title), the music on this ep is inspired both by the emptiness you suffer in futile non-places such as airports and the chasm you experiment in majestic scenarios as a russian forest. both by solitary travels and first encounters with machines you always wanted to touch like an 808. six tracks constructed with razor-sharp drum-machines, penetrating synth sequences and estranged vocals. raw sounds that capture the type of clairvoyance that one can only feel when in transit, far from the chains of our comfort zones. from cologne to clone is much more than a train journey. it s an introspective voyage to a beautifully warped soul. a reminder that, in fact, sometimes you only need your self-expression to feel at home.

debut release on the new kaleidoscope jazz chair reissues label. first release contains some beautiful and well crafted dubbed out techno by kit clayton with his 1998 deadlock tune originally released as the b2 on the 4-track unreliable networks ep (on silent servant s label cytrax ), it slipped under many a record buyer s radar. nearly 20 years later, now that electronic musical tastes have matured and expanded, the time seemed right to re-present, this lush, atmospheric, percussive work out to the heads, deservedly pressed on a full side of 12- vinyl. pussy clap was originally released on the remote label, set up by charles webster, and featured house music predominantly written by charles and neil tolliday, better known as nail. jorge felucca was the alias that neil used when creating the more dubbed out, techy tracks for the label. sounding somewhat like a deep house take on maurizio, pussy clap was also released in 98, but had since fallen into obscurity, and the time had come for it to be rejuvenated and polished with an amazing remaster by pole for the modern ear that is a dramatic improvement on the original
