echospace are proud to announce the third ep from the forthcoming cv313 album, >dimensional space<. this release marks the first remix from one of the uks most revered talents -- king midas sound (the bug) who manages to take the original in a direction one would never expect, creeping and trembling right at the very core of your very being. this is truly the midst of something beautiful, its haunting, infectious and has no restrictions to gravity, this is truly something to float in. next we have a heady subliminal interpretive from seattles, rafael anton irisarri as the sight below (ghostly) there is a reason why his sound has even turned the head of radiohead front man thom yorke and if i had to guess i would say its rafaels emotional range, he tugs right at the heart strings. this mix is as narcotic as you would expect, a slow motion dream where in every twist and turn a new detail unfolds, its like visiting an unexplored world -- subtle and hypnotic. on the b side (our first sound snippet) we have a more 4/4 number culled from deepchord presents: echospace (modern love) live set from this past year. this one has been tried and tested at countless shows and club floors around the world. its all about that syncopated bassline, a subterranean bottom and an atmosphere as deep as the ocean floor -- this is underwater space funk.

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.

first on decks.de !! lust und freude musik s fifth release arrives from tufan demir of istanbul, who has been making music in various genres under different monikers for some time now. this ep bears tufan s own name and contains tracks of a more personal nature. despite the overall after-hour feel of the toy harmonics, it also draws heavily from modern house music elements. four-to-the-floor pattern of the tracks do not necessarily mean that they are pure house as they encompass an undeniable ambient vein. most of the percussive elements featured here have been recorded by tufan, extracting sounds diligently from a toy archive that includes pieces ranging from action figures to music boxes. the opening number idiot term tricks you with its mighty kicks and hypnotic percussions only to draw you into a dreamy atmosphere made up of pads and intricate structuring. quiet days in a room starts off with a simple sequence and builds into a melodic orgy of bells and synth sounds. the most minimalist of all, back to fine offers the greatest emotional potential - despite its unmistakable dance footing, the track transcends electronic dance formulas thanks to its ingenious instrumentation.
