a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

it only takes one listen to jee days >like a child< – and its whirling, hypnotic rush – to recognize the know-how that has made studio whiz dennis dj mcnany a go-to source in new york citys dance music scene. over the last decade, the sound architect has become a musical jack-of-all-trades: fine tuning releases from outfits such as the rapture and turing machine, working on early output from dfa records, maintaining his own run roc label, remixing artists like panthers, ghostape and digable planets ladybug mecca, and contributing keyboards and percussion on tour with the juan maclean. in light of the already impossibly long list of credits to mcnanys name (including the numerous pseudonyms under which he has released his own music) the jee day debut 12 inch is a bit like a first listen to an artist who audiences, ironically, have already heard many times before.
