elegant divide are peter oldroyd and samantha gare, based in london uk. formed in 2014 elegant divide combines the talents of classically trained vocalist samantha gare and electronic pop music pioneer peter oldroyd. peter is a well-known mix engineer and record producer, and best known for his 1980 s experimental synth pop band camera obscura. samantha, trained at the italia conti academy of theatre arts, has experienced chart success before and lends her distinctive voice to the project. elegant divide expresses the dichotomy of dark and light in electronic music with songs that explore lyrically the emotions of urban living. with the use of vintage synthesisers (moog prodidy / source, novation bass station, nord lead 2, paia fatman, polyfusion modular, yamaha dx7) and drum machines (roland tr-909 / tr-808 / tr-707 / tr-505, yamaha rx17) their sound is rich and analogue, and samantha s cool vocal delivery creates a mood that is simultaneously accessible pop and dark and haunting.

zwei nummer-eins-alben, zahlreiche top-10-singles, ausverkaufte tourneen und der titelsong zur hobbit-verfilmung – ed sheeran hat im laufe seiner noch jungen karriere schon einiges erreicht. nach all den erfolgen und terminen gönnte er sich im letzten jahr deshalb erst einmal eine verdiente auszeit und reiste um die welt.
wer jetzt aber glaubt, der britische singer-songwriter habe sich in dieser zeit bloß ausgeruht, liegt daneben. 2017 meldet er sich frisch und erholt mit einem neuen album zurück, das schon vor der veröffentlichung erste rekorde gebrochen hat. hier ist »÷« (divide).

following up with the llarose ep by joefarr comes a split ep with different takes on what should make you jack. dar embarks, a duo hailing from chicago lay out two tracks as a precursor to more to come. tracky and acidic spyboss will appease the inner bleep while zeddmore will fit and hit with the heaviest you ve got. johan platt of finland covers the opposite side of this ep with two attacks on jack himself. ranttali is a throwback to armani and acv days of distortion and punch while wailer slows it down and lets the swing fill the space.

mkfn return to touchin bass after last years *substrate ep* with their latest offering, *this divide ep*. through a sustained and methodical exploration of studio techniques, the trio of babar raza (us), ovais hassan (uk) and fahad ahmad (canada) continue to refine and evolve their signature sound. manipulated sounds accent the meticulous rhythms to form the foundation upon which this release is defined. over the course of these four tracks, mkfn create a sense of place inviting listeners to traverse landscapes that exist independent of any singular perception or experience.

the enigma that is black swan has emerged from the shadows to deliver its second work. awash with chilling ambience, found sounds and haunting samples, the quiet divide reins in the phantasmagoria, examining the blurred in-between, the darkness that lies at the divide. creeping ever so slowly out of the confined spaces of its previous work, in 8 movements, black swan moves further into the crevice, mining territory unbefitting to most composers. upon surfacing from the muck and grime, the resulting work is disquieting and poignant, exposing the listener to the inner workings of the desolate in hope that they will never have to plunge themselves into it.
12 inch vinyl lp only limited to 500 copies worlwide.

89:ghost s head gonk nail gets a call from positive divide about remixing a track the latter did with legendary house vocalist robert owens. after short negotiations an agreement is made, braised tofu is delivered to a secret address and soon after 2 mixes appear in pd s inbox. included here are both nail s efforts, plus a remix by pd him/themselves. previously available only as a download, 89:ghost now supplies the physical. 300 copies in red vinyl only, no-re-press or digital.

having blown the doors off with their r&s debut *containing a thousand*, lakker return with a devastating new single that concentrates and coalesces their sound to unprecedented new heights. their intricate, yet muscular soundscapes and skittering percussion have an epic, alien quality that set them head and shoulders above their less ambitious peers. having a background in punk, metal and broken beat as well as noise and techno helps give lakker their truly unique and uncompromising sound. currently touring their blistering live /av set across the planet and hard at work on their debut lp for r&s you will be hearing a lot more from lakker very soon.

bostons legendary mc edo. g teams up with producer duo red & spinache for this new, limited translucent, purple colored 7 inch vinyl single. *the great divide*, pressed on a beautiful, purple vinyl is a soulful hip hop anthem. side b, remixed by bodziers adds a gritty, boom bap flavour to the whole package. 500 copies available.
