jessy lanza s debut album *pull my hair back*, co-written and co-produced with jeremy greenspan from junior boys, is a 2013 flagship for what electronic pop could sound like, stripped of bloated, behaviourist impulses that treat listeners like lab rats. it is graceful and erotic without the gratuitous close ups, icey and sensual, sweet without rotting your teeth, emotional but with enough blue glow to pull your heart strings. jessys voice flutters through the synths seductively, insistent without the over-singing and grating choruses that plague so much contemporary pop. jessy lanza has a background as a singer and skilled piano scholar, and the duo share a mutual love of collecting the old hardware synths and drum machines that grace this collection of songs. transecting r&b, house, disco and 80s studio rock, the production is immaculate, reminiscent of early junior boys, treading that fine line between cold futurism and the r&b that jessy and jeremy are infatuated with.

we first discovered young glasweigian talent barrientos in 2012 via the always on point synthglasgow.com blog. his debut mix for them effortly mixed tracks from atjazz and matthew styles to loco dice, vince watson and steve rschmad and took the listener from the early bounce as the club doors open right through to hands-in-the air madness of a packed dancefloor. we loved it. he alsoreleased the good-time, sun-soaked sky ep (for free via soundcloud) around the same time and the quality of both his music and production really stood out from the crowd.

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).

the first collaboration from seasoned chicago electronic artists k-rad (chris grabowski) and opcode66 (todd mariana), kno-001 is a deep and techy ride through space and sound. *from dark to light* offers a tasteful, musical journey geared toward experienced listeners and late night party people. reminiscent of watching the night sky transform into sunrise, *from dark to light* captures and explores this glorious experience. with simple, driving bass, an edgy monosynth riff and well-crafted sounds, strings help carry the piece through its musical transition as it builds and ends with great energy. *dream about* subtly addresses concepts of isolation and futility as realities. listeners may contemplate the relationship between reality and dreams (and the necessary functions of each) while immersed in slowly-evolving melodies. with many incidental sounds worked into the fabric of the piece, simple and satisfying percussion, and lush effects trails, *dream about* playfully and defiantly transfigures reality into something dream-like.

midnight moves. thats what comes to mind when you listen to cale parks s n1, preferably at an hour long after dusk has settled around you in some beautiful, insomniac city. parks finds – or more aptly, seeks – beauty and grace in ambience and shadows. n1 starts as pure atmosphere – it feels at first like a sort of lovely sonic nothingness slowly taking form – before growing into the darkly lit, gorgeous moodscape it later becomes. a sensual bassline, a pulsing downbeat, a cinematic piano, strains of italo disco, and the sensation of breezing down a lightless road. if you could make sensuous shapes of the night – imagine kneading the dark itself – it might, at the very best, feel like this. the task of remixing parks s original is taken up by french duo paradis, who can otherwise be heard making music on tim sweeney s beats in space label. the paris-based producers shine a brightening light on parks s dusky creation, quickening its pulse and trading in its darkwave undercurrents for enlivening techno and house. theres an element of floating here – a dreaminess in the rhythms, an astral aspect to the keys beaming through the beats. and with the addition of vocals, sung in french – a pop finishing touch on a song that already feels like an earworm – the transformation is complete. this excellent introduction to cale parkss music is also his debut release on the hakt label.

felix lenferink follows up last years bouree ep with the next part of the series, bouree scene two for fourth wave.
calling in vocalist loes, felix moves from jazzy broken garage on third bouree through to driving atmospheric techno on fourth bouree. third bouree then gets remixed by felixs house alter ego frits wentink and mystery man gerry read, who delivers a loopy aural approximation of what a mental breakdown.

a four-track ep, bemired and evil-eyed, but with room for arnaldo to breathe out and flex a little after his spooked, sparked contribution to blank slate 001. the opener is a dubwise bubbler, with spaced-out keys, free woodblocks, shuffling hi-hats and elastic 303 bass. atmosphere breached is more jazzy and messed-up, running funky organ through sizzling fx, syncopated handclaps and filtered groans. the flip is dancefloor-trained. our pick of the bunch, verano is in a dark, hissing, aqueous world of its own, chugging and stomping, with relentless tambourines, crunchy filtered tribal drums and detuned horns. heads down to close: lost voices and a 909 kick, chattering hi- hats and rattling percussion administer the licks.

achim maerz takes electronic abstraction back to a state of organic harmony and rythm. his ep >long time no see< reveals a soundscape of intimacy and evolving grooves. reduction broadens its horizon. all sounds are carefully placed and a sustaining atmosphere keeps developing from song to song. still each one is an individual scenery of its own. >keys of my soul< delicatly moves through wide rooms while >shake, shake, shake< leads closer to the core of groove. the backbeat driven >system< already possesses a pushing groove which mutualy connects it to >long time no see< with its warm pulsating baseline. achim maerz approach to house shows how much is possible if self-limitation leads to creativity.

from the soul-stirring opening strains of ex friendlys sublime start to the people are looking at you imprint, it is clear that the emerging nottingham-based producer has a gift for music that travels further than mere surface physical response. in a scene littered with disposable vocal turns, the simple poetry of rich medinas narrative that runs through journeyman resonates perfectly with the yearning strings and low-slung, bass-rich groove that come to define this exquisite approach to deep house. jonno & tommo hone in on the more rhythmical elements with their own dub of journeyman as a clearer club-ready intent meets with the psychedelic potency of the aqueous sound effects and that ubiquitous string hook. whether reaching for a more meaningful dimension to add to a set, or to simply drift away on the cradling nature of the music and its message, it is clear from the outset that this is music built to last.

coming correct from deep within the london scene, jonno & tommo consummate their production partnership with a return to ornate to delve further into the hypnotic, soulful end of the house spectrum. close the door stretches across the a-side of their new release, the tough demeanour of the drum-heavy intro giving way to a serene pad arrangement, setting the tone for a starlit workout bolstered by an infectious hook of dusty vocal and subtle sonic decoration that accentuates the groove. small stone represents a more reflective mood on the flip, steadily feeding in reams of rhythm and melody before fully blossoming into an equally seductive, bumping jam laced with a perfectly pitched acid line that nestles into the cosy confines of the track.secret weapon of the capitals underground house fraternity, miles sagnia steps up with a simmering remix of small stone that keeps the tension high and the textures roaming through a decidedly futuristic soundscape, while still retaining the ethereal tone of the original.

cover: hiss : 1292 - aetherius society epit was all unplanned : the duo even got its name after this first record got its mastering. hiss : 1292?s aetherius society ep is a powerful and passionate statement. the creative frenzy of two talented producers - one from switzerland 12?, the other one from the parisian suburbs 92? - stuck together in a studio in geneva, just a couple meters away from the roaring noise of a construction site. they ve been putting computers out of the picture, jamming on their machines, synths and effects, and thus creating both forward-thinking and retrofuturistic pieces of techno, with that special instant classic feel.

after 10 years of existence in berlins ambitious music scene, golden gate club has achieved cult status in his own right through out the world. it is a very special place with its own living soul. yet a small venue it shows a high profile, distinct character and a very original and authentic spirit. to manifest this state, the golden gate club establishes ist own record label >ggcr<. the opening release carries the characteristic name >golden era< by swedish dj and producer anders hellberg. still a new member of the underground, his style strikingly represents what golden gate stands for. namely an impassioned, intense and organic sound with high recognition value. four tracks with the same ingredients but different prescriptions. an analog production through and through, with 303 based rhythms and blazing 80s pads. very intense and haunting but still guarding a sweet and hypnotic atmosphere.

tyree coopers all you need is house ep is a proud celebration of the genre, done chicago style and rammed home by marco’s wailing vocals. through solid drums and strong vocal hooks, coopers original beats down hard justifying the need for a 180g pressing. it rattles and hums until dropping into a tom-drum and snare solo similar to runaways *brooklyn club jam*. bobby starrs mix brings marcos teddy pendergrass-sung vocals to the fore, while milty evans gets a little techier with a cut up approach, adding white noise flashes and lots of filterwerk. cooper second take comes via a classic dub which draws a link between squelchy baile funk and a masters at work drum track.

the a side opens with redence delusions introduced by a delay metallic notes, and a line grating background that give entry to a hard nut to crack hype joining the above sequence to form the groove. the delays become more important as the track progresses, and more incisive percussion, dance inducing wilder. the second track on this side sagae has been granted to tomohiko sagae, the japanese producer emerges on the scene to give it a fresh industrial sounds dark dye forcefully included. catalog is part of the prestigious british label rodz-konez, in addition to works published in huehelix and atrocity. we present a cut with a pounding bass drum rhythmic against a distorted sequence taken from a radar air booming steel industry, and dark piercing screams that increase the intensity of its entirety through the plug-in more severe. a full-blown rebellion industrial sounds with those harmonics so peculiar that offers japanese school.

lil jabba isnt like the rest of them. while they are busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever is safe right now, he is throwing paint all over the page. he is not american, but he is affiliated with chicagos teklife crew (dj spinn, dj rashad, etc.) and divides his time between baltimore and brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you will ever hear. local action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an ep wasnt enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, scales. some of scales has already seen the light of day through youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. some tracks sound cleaner than others, that is because they are newer. that is how these things work. what is consistent throughout scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. these arent trax, they are tapestries.
