the moles debut ep on serialism

enter the winking ship and go on a journey through the half-human-half-hyper-reality of david goldberg. emo serialism is a sparkling macrocosm of breakbeat wizardry, technoid trance, robo emotion and versicolour ornamentation. the eponymous first track with its safe ground baseline is the cotton wool of the ep, the galaxy’s aether and the joyful opening ceremony of this planetary feast. baseelmnt64 rings out! the stars align and the tournament begins. lightyears later, hobbling yet graceful konradichtion 101 is the daring darling of the public, thus emerges victoriously. and the moral of this story is made for / left for blank.

for our first release of 2018 and our 11th year in the game, we kick off proceedings with jicheal mackson. the highly in demand producer and live artist drops another forward thinking offering on our imprint. on the a side he delivers carneval, its an underground disco themed cut with hypnotic highs, a groovy bassline and intricate drum programming that evolves through out, vocal murmurs add to the ambiance and complete this winner. jichael switches things up on the b side (vinyl only) with odyssey, this is a more stripped down and trippy affair with break beat drum programming merged with 4/4 swing, white noise slashes and drones set the mood for dark little number. on b2, he lifts the mood with kraut, a more upbeat offering, driven with a bouncy bass groove and intermittent lush pads he creates another groovy master piece perfect for a late night dance floor. this ep truly shows the diversity and talent of jicheal mackson and confirms serialism never ending quest to deliver quality underground music...

new serialism remixed by alex kid, livio & roby, alex smoke & azimute himself!

american native musician, based between the flourishing berlin and paradisiac bali, walker barnard is a truly special artist. he presents his latest work with serialism, a fantastic 4 track ep of mesmerising elegant, soulful and psychedelic minimal funk. the ep also includes a killer bumpy remix from techno luminary and family friend alexi delano + a original digital only bonus track. another fine piece of art from walker!

emotions, melody and rhythm. those are the keywords to describe jin chois new release on serialism records, >delirium ep<. the berlin based artist has already been on the spotlight with the serialism team for his release >full range< (with maceo plex on rmx duty) a couple of years ago. his peculiar sound has developed even more since back then, leaving a special mark on the electronic music by spreading its uniqueness via well respected labels such as lessizmore, contexterrior as well as his own imprint private gold. the original tunes are solid musical journeys crossing over techno and dubstep, somewhere between the berlin and london sound, sometimes between the past and the future. romantically charged of emotions and broken rhythms. delirium ep also includes a minimal avant-­garde re-­visit by jazz musician david koch aka dewalta from the vakant and meander family.

after quenums debut album, the richly textured and atmospheric masterpiece * face to face*, serialism prepares to release a striking remix package featuring three distinct voices in electronic music. * basic solution*s raw fluid energy is encased in a pulsing, staccato framework by cesare vs disorder as the meandering bassline emerges and gives way to the original distorting synth line. 5am is first given a more pumping dancefloor sheen by tiefschwarz and next a typically epic and mindbending journey from mathew jonson. lastly frank haag delivers a spooky rework of * ritual* that tightens the groove into a rolling hypnotic head trip that will also move the floor.

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

ahead of the deliriously deep and rhythmically complex debut album >face to face (out in november on serialism), phillippe quenum aka quenum first displays his rich, dynamic and sometimes soulfully melancholic sound across a teaser ep featuring two album tracks plus a tough yet shimmering remix from the ever classy and timeless, cassy. lead track >face to face< pulses with raw, rumbling bass as hard claps accent an unfettered groove scattered with delicate sonic nuances and a powerful vocal sample. from peak time to sunrise, >5 am< is an ethereal electronic voyage, with softly woven beats, rippling synths and melodic keys.

the 21st release on serialism records comes from the founder of the label himself, cesare marchese aka cesare vs disorder. wide close up is a 4 tracker ep of trippy spaced out – crossover-tech-funk, driven by a vibrant range of clubby grooves. it includes a collaboration with cadenza co-founder quenum as a prelude of the forthcoming album on serialism in november and a mystical remix by perlons favourite maayan nidam

super elegant 4 tracker ep bringing together detroit influences and 90s raw minimal with a dubby edge by up and coming artists pablo tarno & anthony constands.. included tolga fidan epic house remix. a little gem marking release number 20 of serialism catalog.

in the beginning there was funk. some say it came from another planet, some say it was always here...what we know is that walker barnards has got the funk deep inside of him and with chapter 19 of the serialism adventure we share the journey with you.

berlin based serialism records returns with yet another 12inch addition to their collection. this time onirik (a.k.a federico benedetti), the label manager, steps forward with what will be his debut ep, after a fleeting appearance on last years london cuts vol. ii compilation. broken ep fully embodies the dreamy and trippy atmosphere of oniiks musical sphere, based around hypnotic raw grooves with a touch of old school. the 12inch features a collaboration with label boss cesare vs disorder and a remix from hold youth wonderboy le loup.

phillipe quenum, cadenza co-founder and long-time dj & producer emerges on serialism records armed with a soulful, four-track ep just in time for spring. widely known for co-producing the 2003 hit, orange mistake, as well as a myriad of other first-rate outputs, this gifted producer needs no introduction. quenums another day ep is right at home on serialism, a label that’s known for its consistent and classic dance-floor orientated releases from the likes of frank haag, sierra sam and jin choi. laden with emotive, ascending synths, abyssal atmospheres and dubby basslines, this record is the true mark of a seasoned producer. from the percussive and texturized arrangement of another day to the chicago inspired oscillating goodness of my furious thing, to the late night deep vibes of everyday people to the nu-jazz flecked digital only electric prayer, quenum knows how to evoke emotion on the dancefloor. each track is the perfect backdrop for the onset of the spring / summer season, all four cuts melodic and deep, infused with elements of chicago house, and touches of both soul and jazz. this timeless release further affirms quenum’s rightful place as one of the top producers in the game.

its fair to say that sammy gossens aka sierra sam is one of the rare and victorious butterflies of the electronic world. over the last 15 years not only has sierra sam released his own works on esteemed imprints such as supplement facts, time has changed, einmaleins musik and many more, but his impeccable engineering skills are in demand worldwide, co-producing with artists such as bloody mary for dame music and surburban knight for ur and peacefrog. not enough to suffice his creative torrent, sierra sam runs the highly successful toys for boys imprint alongside marcus vector and was label manager for jay haze’s tuning spork and contexterrior labels.

the serialism crew is back with the second installment of their london cuts series. picking up where vol.1 left off, vol.2 calls on a slew of talented label veterans to guide us through the many corridors of house music. first up cesar merveille delivers kevs a deep tech-house tune that builds and builds with just the right amount of sex appeal.up next safari electroniques main man arnaud le texier drops then youll love a hypnotic groover punctuated by percussive stabs and atmospheric keys.

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

jin choi is a musician, producer, dj and live artist based in berlin, germany. equally focused on groove and melodic structures, his music fuses electronic and naturalistic sounds to move the head and body. once coined modern minimal, chois productions are equal parts emotion, melody and rhythm. full range is his first release on serialism records. in a recent interview, choi described himself as a burial loving music-nerd who is simply trying to create his own musical language. he has released on lessizmore, contexterrior, romanphoto & archipel, to name a few. for ser10, he joins forces with maceo plex (aka maetrik, the moniker he saves for his darker techno productions) to do just that. most known for his recent revered deep-house single, vibe your love on crosstown, plex makes the release the perfect late-night tool. first up is full range, a dubby tech-house number with ominous and increasingly glitchy repetitive vocals that remind the listener of what choi seems to already know - music is the universal language, music is no longer irrelevant. next, half baked, the eps star, manages to perfectly fuse industrial sounds with melody making a blissed-out, deep- house track. mysterious squeaks, hisses and factorial inner workings provide the backdrop while warm time-stretched freestyle vocals guide us through the production. maceos deep remix is around 9-minutes of chicago house inspired sounds layered with snappy high hats and emotive chords.

after a strong start this year with a unique ep by queen atom, alias cesare vs disorder (special edits by seuil and ahmet sisman) serialism comes back on the dancefloor with a stunning ep by london new comer pablo tarno.
pablo joined the serialism / mean / essential reload crew as moforize (does that ring a bell?) and delighted our public with a pearl on production side as well by giving refined dj sets. the ep is powerful, every tune is a classic, ranging from beautiful elegant deep house to percussive tech house with hip hop, dub, funk and techno influences.
