francesco tristano really needs no introduction lately, his music speaks volumes and his reputation precedes him with that said we are happy to share place on lafayette with you once again, this time including some stunning remixes. the first one is a collaboration between two highly respected artists: thomas gandey and radio slave. the two take the track further into tech-house territory with the percussion driving while multiple layers begin the fall into one another, achieving a beautifully elegant and jazzy end result. gutis vision is much deeper, with hints of dub here and there as the artists drives the tension up and creates a stunning groove. the final remix come from tuff city kids, who are known for their sometimes unconventional approach to making music, and in this case, it works. they channel a raw vibe and create something that is quite possibly the furthest thing from the original in terms of percussion. the pianos keep the thread strong, and the rhythm takes care of the rest.

seven years and five volumes of treats down the line, retreat flips the script in 2016 and introduces a brand new remix series (cheekily) entitled re-treats! with nebraska, session victim and quarion reworking stables fromthe rtr back catalogue, re-treats vol.1 is a brilliant showcase of the art of the remix as each artist comes up with a truly personal take on the original material

this is a city of contradicting systems and clashing elements. its morphology becomes a direct representation of a poly-rhythmic frenzy, avoiding any attempt of crystallization into a single entity. hi hats become columns, snares turn into repeating arcades and drum kicks form encompassing volumes. this is the architecture of the absurd, where reality as a single vision is no longer possible. as music helps us escape our bound dimension through obsessive repetitions, this city wants to be a materialization of this transcendental power.

next up on the church white imprint is apes, following on from his well received vanilla ice offering on the latest volumes, he returns to the fold with his deep and emotive three track ep: mosaic

lovedancing is a hedonistic, unabashed bear hug of sample-leaning, 909-loving house music. space coast, the house-focused pseudonym of sleazy mcqueen, return with a double-pack of remixes from their debut album, crystal lake. in the wake of glenview records double vinyl release, we have on offer two volumes of remixes ranging far and wide in both depth and energy

sold out! what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. <black light> sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story: >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.

jimi bazzouka is back! we all know jimis love for all sorts of music and especially african and traditional music. for this 3rd episode of outstanding edits, jimi goes industrial + synth pop + techno + african music. dont sleep if this ones sells out as fast as the 2 previous volumes.

gable & grant are joined by harlow in this next instalment of the diaries volumes. on the third release they explore more rolling, pacy grooves whilst still maintaining that familiar brand of melancholic, washed out nostalgia. the b side here is a proper floor burner with a choice vocal sample mixed in for good measure.

this is the first of a 2 volumes series by crackboy dedicated to raw ghetto house and techno rooted in chicago (think armando rather than larry heard) on the thing and detroit on the dirt (think carl craigs project 69). both tracks come with useful dub tools for the real djs out there. pure analog power by a true master.

berlin atonal is proud to pick up on a tradition begun in 1984 with the publication of two volumes of live recordings from the 1983 edition of the festival. those records bore witness to the most inventive, adventurous sounds of the festival, and therefore of their time, containing live bits from psychic tv, la loora and zev. berlin atonal vol. 3 carries this custom forward three decades with selections from four of the standout performances of berlin atonal 2014. of course cabaret voltaire’s lauded and historical ?rst show in over 20 years is featured, richard h kirk’s no-nostalgia and machinery driven set ?rmly putting the cabaret voltaire project in a future-facing direction. miles whittakers surprising and muscular live performance also contributes a cut, as does festival favourite fis with his characteristically lumpy, textural soundscapes.

i.vy presents her third release on ther own label, chinese laundry. after the first two volumes, continuing the saga in vinyl on the label, also time she s proposing a release based on the acid sound, in fact, from here come the names of the three tracks of -vol. 3 -, sonically distinct from forms of sound in both the quality of the tone and in the structure, leading to a complete trip right in the underground scene. the a-side exposes two tracks both dictated by a bassline, a sequence of acid accompanied by a drum-machine percussion, the sounds derive from -machines- that have guided the analogue creative artist, exposing grit, intensity and quality defined the synth that has a continuous evolution throughout its duration, with a sound much richer in harmonics. the other side of the coin is the b-side, a product of the collaboration between i.vy & the 90 s peacefrog producer solid state, a true evolution from the first two tracks, while following the lodging acid, the b-side results more aggressive and determined, demonstrating a mindset based on a building techno, with a strong impact on the dancefloor.

the new metronomy album, love letters, has a title that speaks volumes about sensations and modes of communication, about things that have always been there, and will always be here. its no coincidence either. this is a record that wants to be timeless. in its execution, love letters tries to do fresh things in an old-fashioned way. it takes richer methods of recording and injects them with the shock of the new of tight electronics, and experiments in sound. it does so not to be retro, but to embrace the quality standards of the past. it also aims to be up there with the greats, reaching for those old stars.

the third in the modular techno series from live analogue artist and freerotation organiser steevio. after 15 years of producing techno live on hardware, in 2009 steevio began building a dedicated machine on which he could totally improvise an entire techno performance from a blank canvas that far surpassed anything he could do with his previous setup of drum machines and synthesizers. steevio’s modular is 100 analogue, there is no computer involved, there are no memories to save sounds or sequencing patterns, and everything is improvised in real time.. volumes 1 and 2 of the series were just a taster of what was to come, and were the early experimentations on steevio’s newly built machine. steevio records everything he does, especially during the intense practice sessions for live gigs. all the music in the series are out-takes from these practice sessions, and the tracks from volume 3 and the forthcoming volume 4 all come from a three day period in practice for a recent live gig at delete, bournemouth, uk. volume 3 continues from where volume 2 left off but delivered with more confidence and a deeper more hypnotic feel. steevio continues to develop his skills and fine tunes his unique instrument in this dedicated for life project.
