Kaumwald - Rapa Nui Clan
OPAL080LP
Opal Tapes
12inch27.06.201627.JUN.16

HouseTechTechno

Following on from 2014's 'Hantasive' LP on Opal Tapes, Kaumwald have returned with a new suite of totally bugged out improv techno and electroacoustic burn out's entitled "Rapa Nui Clan"... They're a hard act to define, unifying the tabletop thrift attack of AMM or early Wolf Eyes against bold modular driven beats rich with crust. The albums title and tracks speak toward a sense of new discovery, voyaging and exploring. The duo's machines interlace this time with more pronounced vocals often rendered in absurd pitches or drawn out into oblivious texture. Tracks like 'Leil' and 'Minorque' request you to strap in as almost painful sound is slapped down over chunky 4/4. Opener 'Ortolan' and closer 'Albert Le Thouet' are lighter and more playful but overall it's a heavier and much denser affair than previous outings and all the better for it. As with any voyage there is a wealth of information to process, this is the sound of information frying in the pan as the ship readjusts it's course.

Kiwi - Orca
FBR048
FUTURE BOOGIE RECORDINGS
12inch21.11.201621.NOV.16

HouseElectroTech

Alex Warren, AKA Kiwi, debuts on Futureboogie for the label's closing release of the year. With previous releases on labels like Optimo Music, Blasé Boys Club and Sneaky Music, the versatile producer serves up four tracks of deep and driving underground goodies. The London based producer/DJ has genre hopped with ease over the last few years, building up an impressive arsenal of productions and remixes. He has been called upon to reshape for artists like The Klaxons, Duke Dumont and Bonar Bradberry, and his music has been warmly received and supported by Andrew Weatherall, Daniel Avery, Erol Alkan and many more. On his Futureboogie release, Kiwi blends energetic Italo styles on lead track 'Orca', whilst 'Minke' fuses gnarly technoid house with deft melodies and soft touches. The spatial synths of 'Logman's Break' create a highly infectious earworm of a track and the brass melodies freestyle over a sturdy production, whilst the closing 'Pygmy' gets spaced out with tweaking acid bass and moon stomping beats.

Myles Serge - The Caduceus Ep
CDR011
CADUCEUS RECORDS
12inch30.06.201530.JUN.15

HouseTechTechnoTechno

For the eleventh release on Caduceus, Myles Sergé has provided us with three original tracks along with a remix from prolific Argentine producer Jonas Kopp.
As a self professed reclusive perfectionist, and owner of the Suare Music Group which is home to his imprints RE(FORM), Space, (MS), and Dosed Recordings, Myles Sergé has firmly established himself as a DJ, musician and recording artist.
Myles has a haunting production style, which can be heard in his own releases as well as those from his other alias, Sergio MF Valente, and in collaboration with other artists as PNM and One Peoples. Bright hats and deep stabs echo throughout opener "G", building a percussive groove that builds slowly before culminating towards the end with a dirty aggressive lead taking over and taking the track to it's peak time limits.
Title track 'Reeds Lake" is a more subdued affair with metallic percussion and spaced out pads meandering in and out as the track takes us on a journey of old school sounds that is easy to get lost in. On the flip, "Memories Of Dismay" slows it down once more, with organic bell noises floating ominously over deep bass notes and an array of hats.Blissful chords add to the natural feel of the track, complimenting the bells and synths beautifully.
Jonas Kopp finishes off the release with a rolling remix of "Reeds Lake". Kopp adds an acid bassline and a hypnotic lead to the spaced out pads of Myles, taking "Reeds Lake" to the higher echelons of the dance floor.

Reset Robot - Let Your Soul Outside Sampler 1
TRUELP05.1
Truesoul
12inch18.06.201418.JUN.14

HouseDeepElectronicaTech

Truesoul Records are proud to announce the release of 'Let Your Soul Outside', the debut album from Reset Robot in April 2014.

Behind the Reset Robot project is Dave Robertson, a producer who has released standout singles on labels like Dogmatik, Intacto and Adam Beyer's Truesoul imprint over the past 5 years. Now he steps up with his debut album, the stunning 'Let Your Soul Outside'.

The LP was written at Reset Robot's home studio in Portsmouth and is an album of fascinating textures inspired by "all the music I listen to and love!" says the producer himself. "I've wanted to do this for a long time and all of a sudden I had 8 or 9 tracks together which were a little bit different. I added a few more and asked a close friend, Tom Powell from Mister Woo, to add vocals to a couple of them and it was ready."

The result is a full length that touches on many different moods and emotions, starting with the melodically soothing tech funk of 'Guitar Man'. Tracks like 'Little Alice' then pick up the momentum thanks to slick beats and crisp percussion and 'Sizzler' introduces a soulful vocal element over more tortured sounding, synth-laden grooves.

It's not all full on dancefloor material though, with tracks like 'Desi Beats' it allows you a little time to breath thanks to their more widescreen and laidback vibe, whilst 'Sausage' strikes a truly emotive pose that has your thoughts turning inwards.

With this album Reset Robot proves both his range and his dexterity - no two tracks sound the same, and instead the Portsmouth producer explores every nook and cranny with a fine attention to detail that really makes the whole thing sing. 'Let Your Soul Outside' is a stellar achievement.

Steve Murphy - Blood Cake 909
HOTSHIT026
Hot Haus Records
12inch24.11.201624.NOV.16

HouseDeepTechFunkyAcid

Despite his artist name and his trademark sound, Steve Murphy does not come from Chicago, but from Mira, a little town on the suburban area of Venice.

Steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. He is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal.

Steve has produced together with Die Roh an album ("The Chasm") and one e.p ("Windy City") on Chiwax, and a solo 10" ("Planet Earth") on Rawax, these records have quickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic Warehouse sounds.

In 2012 he has started the Riviera project and has founded the Muscle Records label, together with Lucretio, Dj Octopus, Caio, Madì Grein and Chevel. The label is a facility to spread what has been called "the sound of Brenta": a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno. In 2012 he also released "The Dove Ultimatum" on Vae Victis Records, under the moniker of Durant: an unfriendly 12" of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with Die Roh and Lucretio.

Me & Her - Lost Ep
OFF114
Off Recordings
excl18.08.201518.AUG.15

HouseTech

ME & her are back featuring Billie Fountains vocals with their new Lost EP'. The title
track, highlighted by wavy sounds combined with shakers and rainy percussion, turns
into a sphere of late-released Bass and a melodic-melancholic vocal that takes the
soul down to dusty places. Lost while dancing.

The B-side April , is a more upbeat instrumental, featuring energetic chords on top
of a techhouse groove.

Finally, Nakadia, possibly Asia's most beloved underground DJ, reworks Lost in a
progressive way, adding a taste of digital and plugged synthesizers, building a darker
sound-gate.

Co Written & produced by ME & her (Jen & Phuong) at Wired Studios UK / Mix by
Wired Studios UK.

OFF SPIN
excl05.09.201505.SEP.15

HouseTech

It's time for sicilian power. Paul Ursin presents his Universe EP" on OFFSPIN032.

Title track Universe is covered by warm & drive-bass, percussion synths and a
wavy mainlead that hijacks the mind to deeper places.

Still waters run deep as Explorazione starts with strict but area-wide beats and turns
into an
Interaction of arpeggiated synths and powerful bass.

Followed by the last track Passage feat. Afterwards", whose sweet reverb-heavy
vocals glide through the Bassment , the EP constantly keeps up the danceable tech-
house elements.Definitely a flowing continuity of quality sounds.

Sierra Sam & Pascal Hetzel - Wild Things Ep
SOV004
SOUND OF VAST
12inch04.02.201504.FEB.15

HouseDeepTech

After releasing three EP's in 2014 to great feedbacks such as 'standing up house music label', this January 2015 'Sound Of Vast' is about to hit its 4th release with an even greater selection and range of house music.
This new EP has a very unique sound, which is the result of Sierra Sam and Pascal Hetzel - two of Berlins most talented music producers - collaborating to make something a bit
different from their usual style. They 'wanted to make something dirty but organic'.

Both tracks 'Antennae' and 'Wild Things' could be described as very much acidic and raw. Their well built-up drum machine skills are perfectly combined with dirty and heavy acid synth sounds. Emotional melodies which emerge during the middle of the tracks make them even more exciting and involving. Truly the babies of passion and experimentation.

The third track, 'Fiction 2015', is a more typical 'Sound Of vast' style of track, that can deliver the right mood on the dance floor with solid drum beats and a futuristic synth,
combining the soul of old and new.

After the deranged chamber-edits of 'Vienna' for Where To Now, U returns to the well-trodden path between flattery and irreverence in dance music with a special edition 2-track 12" for Phantasy Sound.Friendly Ghost' enters with a splay of combat-bongos, a thin synthetic aura draws over the fluctuating rhythms before a strangely negative bassline sets the pace in nu-wave perpetual motion, inevitably spiraling back on itself into a clattering reversal.On the flip 'Ascension Hymn' rushes headlong into a mechanical shunter, abruptly dragged back by a frail and singular voice reciting an uncertain mantra of self-fulfilment over this blunted hardcore epic spanning 13 minutes.Pressed to heavyweight vinyl, designed and printed by the artist in an edition of 300ish.

Barker & Baumecker - Turns
OSTGUTCD38
Ostgut Ton
CD25.11.201625.NOV.16

HouseTech

Barker & Baumecker take Turns from techno, bass, breaks, and experimental terrain with their second album on Ostgut Ton.
Sam Barker and Andreas Baumecker's lives have always revolved around different kinds of music. That's partly why their productions as Barker & Baumecker are more unpredictable, harder to pin down than what you might expect from a label borne out of a techno club. And while their music is clearly built for dancing, listening to it reveals a deep love and respect for many forms of electronic music - bonding over more experimental dance forms is what brought them together in the first place. Imagining their music at any decent club, but disrupting the flow on the floor is what brings us to their second album Turns. An amalgamation of their unique musical minds, transcending electronic music genres and styles, while further developing and refining the Barker & Baumecker sound aesthetic.
Barker & Baumecker first met via their day jobs back in 2008, when the former was a booking agent and the latter was the booker for Berghain. Baumecker was instrumental in encouraging Barker and his colleagues at LittleBig booking agency to start Leisure System - first a party and now also a record label championing irregular dance music. Shortly after, their friendship - sparked by a kinship in musical curiosity - became a partnership in production. Now, with two EPs, an album, and almost 20 remixes under their belts, Barker & Baumecker continue to steadily explore and reshape their shared electronic musical interests, especially in techno, bass, breaks, and experimental terrain.
Baumecker's been a clubber pretty much from day one in his hometown of Frankfurt am Main. As he recalls, Frankfurt has a really good history in club music. There was a party series called Techno Club at the No Name venue, which began in 1984. It was an American gay club, basically. It was super tiny, but really happening. I went there for the first time in '86 when I was 18.' As the DJ nd_baumecker, he cut his teeth in the '90s playing house at Wild Pitch Club - an early party thrown by Playhouse/Robert Johnson founder Ata and Heiko MSO - and left-field techno, electro, and Warp-influenced sounds in Mannheim with Move D and D-Man. A regular guest at Berghain's predecessor club, Ostgut, he moved to Berlin in 2004 after an invitation to become a resident at the newly opened Panorama Bar inside Berghain. 12 years later, he's still a resident there, as well as a frequent DJ flyer worldwide.
Barker started out as a producer in Brighton's tight-knit experimental community, where, as he explains, it was an open-minded scene. Music as a platform for self-expression and originality were really the only judgment markers. Authenticity is Barker & Baumecker take Turns from techno, bass, breaks, and experimental terrain with their second album on Ostgut Ton.

Barker started out as a producer in Brighton's tight-knit experimental community, where, as he explains, "it was an open-minded scene. Music as a platform for self-expression and originality were really the only judgment markers. Authenticity is what we were looking for in those parties." But his move to Berlin in 2007, as part of the LittleBig team, and his subsequent exploration of DJ culture offered a new dimension to his musical philosophy: "The skill of DJing was something I had a lot of pleasure learning about. I was trainspotting DJs for the first few years. Music as a more communicative tool, this kind of, 'hey, let's all find a common ground,' - as opposed to, 'you can understand me or not, I don't care,' - didn't really make sense to me before Berlin."
While Baumecker had always thought of himself as a DJ, it was right around the time he met Barker that he bought his first synth from then-Ostgut Ton label manager Nick Höppner. "But then it went really fast," he explains, I bought a lot of stuff in a really short amount of time." With Baumecker having caught the bug, Barker readily admits that they're both hardware lovers heavily into technology and machinery. But while they own some classics, "most of the studio is under five years old." As Andreas reveals, they "want to create a new sound, and with the old machines it's been done." If you peek into the small studio they share with Höppner, there's a huge collection of synths, drum machines and all manner of gear. While Baumecker now has an impressive collection of Moog effects boxes, Barker has brought in several racks of modular synths.
While their usual aim is only to have fun and escape from "real life," they will admit to a theme or two. Talking about the title of the album, Barker explains, "the two of us have had quite a lot of ups and downs since the last record, and when you're in a collaboration where you only work together in real-time, in person, both people need to be in the right frame of mind." Baumecker adds, "Turns also had something to do with the tracks - almost every one turns towards the middle." The album also turns on the middle track of seven, a short interlude called "Technogate". "It's actually (the sound) of the gate right by our studio," Barker divulges.
But "Technogate" wasn't the only inspiration for Turns. "The title "Turnhalle" is German for a gymnasium or a sports hall," Barker explains about the album's fifth track. "And we are referring to Berghain," Baumecker notes wryly. Barker continues: "We checked every track out in the club, but "Turnhalle" we recorded playing back through the Berghain soundsystem. During the first two minutes, we tried to recreate the effect of ascending the staircase into the club." And while none of the tracks on Turns are merely functional, Barker & Baumecker do, of course, envision them in the club. "It's what I wish people would play at a certain time on Mornday morning, or sometime in the afternoon on Sunday," Baumecker explains. "There are certain periods in Berghain where I think it's really necessary to bring people down again and not keep them on the same vibe for six hours. I think something like this would interrupt that, and you can move on from there again." Tracks that mark a turn in a set, then.
There's nothing typical about any of these tracks, but they each share a clean aesthetic and sound palette with a sense of depth and compositional purpose. The ambient intro of album opener "Senden" morphs into a Reichian flow. "Encipher & Decipher"'s low-end drums weigh down dreamily melodic synths. "Club Entropicana" reduces rhythm and sound to machine signals, akin to Raster-Noton's starkness. Both "Turnhalle" and "Nocturnal" incorporate trance euphoria with breakbeats but in different ways, while closer "Statik" has a deliciously slippery garage pulse guiding it through a journey towards house bliss. You never know where they'll draw from next, but Turns feels like Barker & Baumecker are expanding and refining their own musical dialect. Like most of the music they're both drawn to, it's thoughtful, rich, and ever evolving - but always and completely committed to the club.

Saline is the third installment in a series of records from Ultramajic boss Jimmy Edgar. While the first part, Hot Inside, represented the element of fire, and its follow-up release, Mercurio, symbolized water, Saline is aligned with earth. It's no accident that the name refers specifically to the earthly compound salt, as desalination is an integral metaphysical process that helps to hone the third eye.

The EP rises from the ashes of Hot Inside and Mercurio with "Burn," a blazing acid-tinged banger that boats dry drums and a strangled wail. The reference to fire in the title suggests the evolution of Edgar's series of singles, while the name of the track "Decalcify" invokes a process closely related to desalination, as both play a role in making the body more attuned to supernatural experiences. Ultramajic's Chicago house influence enticed legendary footwork producer DJ Rashad, who's voice can be heard in the sampled squawk on metallic tune "Walk Show." The final track "Who's Watching," features Jimmy's own vocal, coy bleep-bloop instrumentation and hissing hi-hats. Taken as a whole, Saline and the other releases in Jimmy's series of dance singles are designed to instigate the processes they allude to and aid in the path of spiritual development.

Lehar Feat. Rush Midnight - Number One Hero
2DIY4-15
2DIY4
12inch04.05.201604.MAY.16

HouseDeepTech

Diynamic's sister label 2DIY4 is delighted to add a talented new artist to the ranks in the form of Lehar, their latest addition to the artist roster. He serves up one great original that is accompanied by two on point remixes from Musumeci and Peter Pardeike to complete a tidy package. Italian Lehar makes music that is romantic and carefully composed. He has a sublime sense of mood and groove and has released twice on Offenbach imprint Connaisseur Recordings. Here he serves up more slick bass and intriguing melodies and continues to turn heads as a result.
His original track 'Number One Hero' is truly emotive, with delicate synth melodies and warm, lush chords adding heartfelt vibes to the punchy drums. Dreamy vocals drift up top and lend the whole thing a sense of forlorn emotion that doesn't come along too often in dance music. This beautiful track is sure to make for some magical moments whenever it is played.
The first remix from Italian pal Musumeci, who runs his own Engrave LTD label and gets support from Dixon and Ame amongst others, is much more stripped back and reworks the track into a broody, rubbery, fulsome house cut for backrooms and late night hours. It is a real spine tingler before Peter Pardeike (a Cologne based producer and live act who has often worked with Marcus Worgull) goes just as deep. His angelic pads add a sense of elegance to the groove as it rolls on and on. When the tender vocals come in, it truly sets the track off and marks another fine release for 2DIY4.

Okain - Welcome To The Hood
MEM015
Memoria Recordings
12inch15.04.201315.APR.13

HouseTech

repressed ! Memoria has the pleasure to collaborate with one of the most established artists in Europe for her 15th release. The Parisian - Berliner DJ /producer Okain, after his very successful releases on various acclaimed labels such as Tsuba Records, Quartz Rec and Bpitch Control, joins Memoria with an EP entitled Welcome to the Hood.

Okain's music was incarnated in legendary Parisian clubs, home of some of France's finest inspirations. However, his fervent fascination with hip-hop, soul and jazz has highly contributed to his fresh dance floor creations.

The Frenchman has really received great admiration from the crowd all over the world with his intensive touring in Europe, USA, South America, Japan and China. Until this very moment, Okain has played at the biggest clubs like Cocorico, Fabric, the Rex Club and Watergate to name a few.

For this EP, his groovy upbeat music, diced with bits of old school flavor, stayed once again true to house and techno based roots. Samuel's productions explore the deeper side of tech house, with classic grooves and modern sound design that stands out due to its originality.

Welcome to the Hood (A Side) and Hot Garonne (B Side) really do speak for themselves, both of which flow well throughout the night, the second, slightly faster and darker than the first. The strings in B1 are unexpected; and bring a completely different feel to the track giving it real character and charm.
