daniel brandt, co-founder of acclaimed german ensemble brandt brauer frick, is set to release his second solo album for london imprint erased tapes on october 12th. titled channels, the new record follows the release of the london and berlin based producer’s solo debut eternal something from 2017. the seven-track lp is brandt’s biggest statement yet, with the album’s thrilling avant-garde framework interweaving chord-driven techno, orchestral flourishes, rich electronic textures and hints of dark cinematic pop. following on from eternal something, which captured a contemplative kind of isolationism, with channels brandt set out to create an album that captures the essence of minimalism whilst lending it to a more playful context. after performing and recording steve reich’s six pianos in a group of six, brandt began regularly composing long meditations on the piano, something that permeates the sound of the new record. its frenetic energy and shape-shifting identity was also born out of touring with his new band eternal something — comprised of brandt on piano, drums and synthesisers, pascal bideau on guitar and bass, plus florian juncker on trombone — and a desire to translate both the sound and spiritual unity of their live shows in which musicians locked together to create an intriguing meld of expansive works.

channels is a jazzed-out slice of leftfield hip hop and electronica, taking cues from the likes of robert glasper, bonobo and shigeto. as per its name it perfectly captures the meditative and ever-moving nature of water with no 2 bars the same throughout. powerful low end frequencies underpin the beautiful flowing keys work and fluttering organic percussion to keep it ever-evolving and exerting a calming influence on the listener.

italian duos nice7 & dirty channels join forces for the first time to deliver the acid induced feelings ep on crosstown rebels. the release features two exceptional originals with torontos nathan barato bringing his signature heavy sounds into play for the remix. nicola daniele and cesare marocco aka nice7 are amongst the latest italian stars to emerge in dance music. since 2005, the year in which the two of them paired up, they have released on labels like noir music, get physical, remote area, suara, defected and gruuv. dirty channels are simone & leme, who started working together in 2008 after long single dj careers. releases soon followed for big labels such as josh wink s ovum, hot creations sub-label hot waves and culprit la as well as licenses on several defected compilations. nathan barato worked his way onto the world stage with releases on the likes of cajual, saved and hot creations. 2016 also saw him as resident for jamie jones paradise at dc10 in ibiza. here he delivers a punchy remix to dominate the dancefloor, centered around a hefty bassline, tight drum patterns and slick vocal cuts.

gerühmt für bouncenden, augenzwinkernden house, kann das polnische dj/producer-duo catz n dogz auch auf ein techno-vorleben als 3 channels verweisen. nach dem start 2005 haben sie szenekenner mit releases auf trapez, crosstown rebels oder dirtybird entzückt, dank einer besonders griffigen definition von tanzmusik, die bald zum höchst erbaulichen, pop-geprägten stil der gegenwart mutieren sollte. mit speicher 88 kehren grzegorz demiañczuk and wojciech tarañczuk zu ihren technowurzeln zurück und präsentieren zwei hypnotische schieber im minimalistischen arrangement, die ihre nahezu monströse wirkmacht auf den moshpit cnicht verhehlen können. alphabetti spaghetti und rucola apocalypse sind könnerhaft gestrickte manöver durchs club-dickicht - essentielle brandbeschleuniger und eine massiv befriedigende dosis tanzwut.

written, arrenged, produced & mixed by the house legend terrence parker. abt says welcome to legendary terrence parker, who dropped this wonderful track, presenting his project the lost articles . the remix package features a special re interpretation from neither less than john tejada, plus other 2 versions from the italian outstanding duo dirty channels and the label boss francesco bonora & marcello arletti.

spell pets backwards to get step. spell step forwards to find pets going back to basics. step is the new concept label from the founder of pets, catz n dogz, that highlights the rawest forms and root functions of quality club music. step finds the fundamental groove with under-the-radar house and techno that is isnt afraid to be rough around the edges. step is limited promo, zero hype, and all about the music. each new step will be released every three months on vinyl

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.
