CJ Bolland & The Advent - Camargue 2019 - Part One
DC210
Drumcode
12inch07.11.201907.NOV.19

TechnoElectroTechno

‘Camargue’ gets a fresh treatment on Drumcode, as a handful of techno’s finest give new life to an R&S classic - with six mixes from the likes of Maceo Plex, Keith Carnal, Enrico Sangiuliano, Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani spread across two EP's.

Coming from the studio of CJ Bolland and Portuguese journeyman The Advent, the track was born out of a golden age of Belgium dance music and first released in 1992. It stands as one of the most treasured pieces of vinyl in Adam Beyer’s collection and this six-part compilation of remixes and remakes marks a highpoint in Drumcode’s history.

In this first part, Maceo Plex makes his return to DC after 2014’s ‘Conjure Dreams’, providing a bustling industrial take, with distorted vox that gives way to sheaths of stirring melody, before the spine-tingling chords enter the fore and the cut drops into broken beats. CJ Bolland and The Advent then polish the edges of their time-honoured rave favourite with a punchy pin-sharp 2019 version of the original. In contrast to the peak-time prowess of the other respective versions, rising Dutch talent Keith Carnal moulds a liquid smooth interpretation heavy on hypnosis and sparse drums.

“Camargue is one of my favourite tracks of all-time and has been part of my life for 25 years. To put it out on Drumcode with fresh remixes is a dream come true.” – Adam Beyer

Donato Dozzy - Cassandra / No Title
CLAQUE016RP
Claque Musique Records
12inch26.11.202126.NOV.21

HouseTechTechnoDub

Repress

"Cassandra" is a super deep and hypnotic cut that opens with a thumping kick and silky-smooth pads, with the techno innovator teasing out delayed vocal-like synth phrases that lock the listener in before a huge sub-bassline lands. Dozzy focuses on these main intersecting elements which gradually evolve, topped off by rolling drums and razor-edged hi-hats. Also on the release is "II," a slab of experimental sound design that swells and retracts, gurgling away to nothing and topping off an essential new chapter for the peerless techno craftsmen.

JOHN CAGE - 4'33 (5'09' Happy Birthday Extended Edit) (2022 REPRESS)
MISSYOU000
MISS YOU
10inch07.11.202207.NOV.22

TechnoExperimental

In response to some of the absurdities of the contemporary parasitic “DJ Re-Edit” culture this release tries to raise questions regarding artistic authorship and where we currently stand in the Western contemporary artistic landscapes of often blindly striving for novelty at an ever accelerating pace. If we take the reference of Bootsy Collins' claim that “funk is making something out of nothing.”, there is essentially no “funk” here as Castro fundamentally makes nothing out of nothing, which is something, but only conceptually, but in terms of experience is arguably nothing in the end. The only other thing that we can take from this is that this seems to be a tribute to the original artist as the length of this 5 minutes and 9 seconds “extended edit” numerically celebrates the date of birth of John Cage - September 5th. No remastering was made for this release. *** REPRESS LIMITED QUANTITIES

Do Or Die - Out Race
FTVA03
From The Void Above
12inch26.08.202126.AUG.21

TechnoElectroTechno

Our third analysis of frequencies from the void above resulted in a snapshot obtained from the genesis of another universe. Celebrating one year of music FTVA03 consists of five cuts by the spanish maestro Do Or Die.

On the A-Side the record opens with Autoflanger, a driving techno track with trancey elements which gives no rest. A2, 25 Seconds, presents a biting electro cut where the vocals and synths take us on a apocaliptic journey. Heaven in Hell closes the A-Side with a tranquil but tense acid track where the interaction of the bassline, drums, leads and pads create an ascent into the enlightenment brought by the glimpse of this new universe.

The B-Side opens up with Out Run 2020, a warped break-beat phantasmagoria where detuned synths constantly fight aganst the driving bassline. Finally, B2 gives us Overdose, a gloomy electro cut with sounds brought up from the darkest places of this new universe.

“Accept the existence of the void as a real entity, in which atoms can move and rearrange themselves”.

Helena Hauff - Living With Ladybirds LP
FRO003
FABRIC ORIGINALS
12inch11.11.202211.NOV.22

TechnoTechno

German DJ Helena Hauff and Return to Disorder label owner was the first female to be named BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix of the year in 2017. Hauff’s primary focus has always been her productions and honing her skills on the decks. This translates into her characteristic gnashing electro, acidic techno, chugging EBM tunes taking priority over courting fame and ‘likes’ that so many in the music industry seek. Her background studies in fine art, maths, physics and acoustics means her creative flair is perfectly expressed through the coaxing of weighty club sounds from her machines. With ‘Living With Ladybirds’ Hauff lays down four EBM-infused tracks recorded in her method of using strictly analogue equipment. There’s the eccentric electro of ‘Jonas’, the travelling melody behind ‘Your Turn To Fly’, the stripped down pulsing techno of ‘Touching Plastic’, and the rich rolling acid techno of ‘Pinch’.

Russia’s RLGN is known for his previous releases on Private Persons, Tram Planet and Tripalium Corp among others.

With a love for extreme motifs he’s a perfect fit with Don’t and stands alongside contemporaries LOCKED CLUB and ANY ACT (who also collaborated) in ripping up the tired old rulebook and fiercely blazing their own trail, the music lurching between thunderous Techno, Industrial strength Broken beat and scalding Acid, all executed with a punk sensibility and a twist of dark humour that’s rare to find in the Techno of today.

Smolny - Eleganza EP
BRSA002
Bourassa
12inch09.12.202209.DEC.22

TechnoTechnoBeatsBreak-Beat

Tired of the crazy pandemic lockdown time, we've got another Bourassa release.

Smolny, who recently debuted with the song 'Secret' on the PLUR vol.4 compilation for Lobster Theremin, returns to his label this time with the 'Magic Series' of 4 beautiful rave tracks from the 90s.

The A side offers two wonderful classic old school jungle sounds, which recall the crazy times of that golden era. Cheerful pianos and twisted well-known vocals take us into a magical world.

On the other side, 'Fantasy' and 'Euphoria' at a slightly faster pace of 140 bpm, brings us killin' happy hardcore vibes. Who doesn't remember the epic sample 'Can't beat the system'? Used again in the 'Fantasy' with the new arrangement will definitely destroy the dancefloor on more than one occasion.

Zeta Reticula returns to Mechatronica with a radiant tale of astronomical phenomena and deep-space molecular development - a more than ideal backdrop to the EP's four powerful and diverse electro tracks, built by the acclaimed Slovenian producer also known as Umek.

Following up on his "I Am Mensch" record released on Mechatronica last year, Zeta Reticula takes the listener on a light-speed journey from the earliest organic compounds, past the dazzling formation formation of life, between orbiting double stars - and finally into the unknown, stretching obscurely far-reaching parsec units.

Capricorn - 20Hz
RS20HZ
R&S Records
12inch09.09.202209.SEP.22

HouseDeepTechAcidTechnoTechno

Presenting a special limited edition reissue of a stone cold classic from the R&S vaults, 1993 style, remastered and repressed on special transparent wax.

Capricorn aka Dutch producer and DJ Hans Weekhout originally released the '20Hz' 3 track EP on R&S sub-label Global Cuts to much acclaim.

A record that was literally everywhere in '93 and still rocks any club today, '20Hz' is undoubtedly an all-time anthem with it's combination of rolling, thunderous drums, glacial marimba-like melodies and a tense trance inducing atmosphere that literally lifts the dancefloor to another place. 'Didn't I' is also a proper old-school peak-time stormer, it's uptempo, dripping in positive vibes with sampled soulful vocals and chopped up drum breaks all encapsulated within a real rave sensibility. Closing out the EP we are treated to 'For The Soul, Body & Mind' which is a much darker, deeper and menacing vibe than the previous cuts. More in line with the earliest fringes of jungle, hardcore and bleep tehcno the track takes us on a journey into the heart of the night with it's bass heavy and intricate sound programming and breakbeats, proving that Hans Weekhout was an extremely versatile and open minded producer. Overall, a truly classic and essential EP from the heyday of European house and techno that still packs a punch today!

This special 2021 edition is reissued by R&S Records from original master sources, remastered by Curve Pusher.

FRET - BECAUSE OF THE WEAK LP (2x12")
LIES172
L.I.E.S.
2x12inch12.09.202212.SEP.22

TechnoElectroIndustrialExperimentalBeats

After two 12 inches, the legendary Mick Harris (Scorn, Napalm Death,Lull) steps up with his first full length double lp for L.I.E.S. under his FRET moniker.

Over 10 tracks, "Only For The Weak" displays Harris in his most intense sonic form to date, blasting through the red with reckless abandon and destroying all weakeners and sound systems in his path. This is the definition of black hole industrial techno and while it's completely pulverizing, Harris' heavy trademark dubstyle elements are strongly present, coupled with deeply psychedelic textures swirling within the deadly onslaught of this album. While others have softened up through the years, Mick has upped the ante, staying true to the unrelenting intensity he pioneered behind the drum kit back in the 80s. Turn on the TV, witness the demise of humanity, put this album on and watch it all fall to pieces minute by minute. Never more could music of this magnitude be more relevant. Not recommended for those with medical conditions!

Jay Duncan ft Ben Vince / Ricardo Villalobos - In Limbo
PH106
PHANTASY SOUND
12inch03.08.202103.AUG.21

HouseMinimalTechno

London-based DJ and producer Jay Duncan collaborates with saxophonist Ben Vince on her debut release for Phantasy, introducing two wildly imaginative compositions alongside a simmering remix from Ricardo Villalobos.

From the first notes of brass, quickly melting into a lucid shuffle, it’s clear that ‘In Limbo’ exists on its own terms. Vince's virtuoso playing, a feature of former collaborations with the likes of Joy Orbison and Mica Levi, is here gradually manipulated by Duncan into a hugely ambitious trip. This meditative and mysterious approach draws listeners deeper into a liminal, minimal space somewhere between the Fourth World as imagined by Jon Hassell and four AM on a dancefloor in South London.

Duncan deftly raises the tension for the title track’s more percussive and arguably club-ready sibling ‘Anti-Purgatorio’, drawing out almost impossibly taut and inventive rhythms constructed around wormholes from which spill Vince’s instrumentation, washed downstream amid slippery modulations and a distinctive
analogue atmosphere.

Ricardo Villalobos adds to his own superlative history of remixes with a characteristically trippy take on ‘In Limbo’. Spanning nearly fifteen-minutes, the legendary Chilean-German innovator subtly reimagines this ambitious record in form true to both his own musical heritage as well as Duncan’s futurism.

Steven Rutter - Science And Neurosis
FS018
FireScope Records
12inch04.11.201904.NOV.19

TechnoElectroBeatsExperimental

As the Summer sun begins to fade and the shadows grow longer, FireScope returns to record store shelves with an EP from the label’s founder; Steve Rutter. Reflecting this change in the season, Science and Neuroses explores sounds that reverberate with darker tones. Introspection is central in the cold currents and fragile melodies of “Neuro Fracture.” A deeply psychological piece which casts images of woodlands, night skies with a suggestion of something altogether sinister stalking the opener. Echoing samples introduce “Not to be Trusted.” The track skulks in a haze of bass as notes ghost through a heady mist of claps, kicks and snares. Steeped in the traditions of ambient and atmospherics, Rutter creates an audio landscape of unsettling vistas and alien forms. “Divine Intervention” is emblematic of this. Bold and expressive, harmonies are allowed to float freely with new ideas and shapes drifting and gliding into the arrangement. To close, “Reds Dead” brings the EP full circle. Xylophonic notes bob on juddering patterns of cymbal and tom as distant keys rise and fall in a silvery blue sea of meditative waves. With this quartet, Rutter has given the listener a privileged journey into his musical mind. Watery shades mingle and melt in wintry hues, eclipsing canopies obscure and magnify elegance, fractured and fragmented phrases fusing through freeform.

Hadone - Defining Persuasion

TechnoTechnoExperimental

Repress

Taapion Records open 2019 with a highly anticipated four track EP from rising talent Hadone, as he drops his 'Definining Persuasion' EP on the label on 1st February.

Celebrating five years since its inception, 2018 revealed yet another impressive year for Parisian imprint Taapion Records, with a production debut courtesy of label co-founders Shlomo and AWB via their new Eysennah project in summer swiftly followed by the release of Shlomo's highly acclaimed stand-out debut album 'Mercurial Skin' to close out the year, also marking a first for the label in the process. Opening 2019 with authority, the label now returns to bring one of it's most anticipated releases to date to wax, welcoming Brussels based live act, DJ and producer Hadone to the label to deliver his 'Defining Persuasion' EP following releases from the ever-impressing Frenchman on the likes of Code Is Law, Grounded, Ravage and more.

Opener 'How To Fake Success' sets the tone immediately, with the impressive combination of entrancing synths, driving percussion and rich stabs quickly revealing why the production has become such a staple of label owner Shlomo's sets in recent months. Next up, the classy 'Optical Glasses' drops the tempo to provide pockets of serenity amongst breakbeat drums, hazy atmospherics and hypnotic melodies throughout.

On the flip, 'At The Beginning It Was Only Noise' picks up the pace as booming kicks, escalating leads and skipping hats collide to reveal a cut packed with both drive and emotion, before 'Party Monster' closes proceedings, combining haunting, twisting vocals, crisp claps and sharp menacing low ends to deliver a high-octane ride perfect for the peak time.

John Shima - CPU Modular 1 EP
CPU01101100
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
12inch23.05.202223.MAY.22

TechnoElectroTechno

It started, as it so often does, with two old friends hanging out.

John Shima and C P Smith were joking around one evening in their home city of Sheffield. At some point, Smith challenged Shima that, if the latter could produce a record using nothing more than a small modular synth setup, then Smith would release it on his Central Processing Unit label. As heads will know, while Shima has drops on imprints like FireScope and Subwax Excursions to his name, he had never previously released anything via CPU. Shima accepted, and thus we now have his CPU debut, the four-track EP CPU Modular 1.

The specific setup that Shima worked with for these tracks was Smith's Doepfer A-100P6 Suitcase, a small but mighty combination of modules and programmers. It's no surprise that Shima was able to familiarise himself with the equipment in double-quick time - after all, Shima was an early adopter of the Eurorack modular format back in the day. What emerged from the CPU Modular 1 sessions was a quartet of devastatingly effective DJ tools, mid-set rollers which will get the dance moving something crazy.

Opener '003' kicks the EP off as it means to go on. There's something at once stiff-necked and buoyant about the rhythms here, all thwacking Roland tones and snares which crack like someone whipping a length of sheet metal. While the beat barrels unyieldingly onwards, the programming in the tuned modulars is more exploratory and even trippy, full of delay-laced bleeps and flighty rhythmic motifs. It comes together for a cracking mix in the vein of artists like Jerome Hill and London Modular Alliance. Second A-side cut '010' is no different, the street-beat groove and grumbling low-ends underpinning all manner of modular wizardry.

CPU Modular 1 is really timeless stuff, a set of percussion-heavy, future-focussed beats which recalls Smith's own CPU drop 'DJ Tools Vol.1 - 808 Tracks'. '011' kicks of CPU Modular 1's second-half with a dose of Drexciyan dystopia, playing an atonal loop off of an insistent bass wiggle and neurotic hi-hats. Even when Shima tightens or slackens the modulars here, '011' remains unyielding, a dose of pure 'Wip3out' energy that you could happily groove to all day long. The EP closes out with '005', a gnarled, gurgling production which still retains the dancefloor punch of the rest of the record.

For his Central Processing Unit debut, John Shima was tasked to produce four tracks using a single small modular setup. Unsurprisingly given the pedigree of this seasoned machine-funk pro, Shima aced the assignment.

Lady Neptune - Noz LP
LSSN082
Night School Records
12inch07.11.202207.NOV.22

TechnoHardcoreTechno

6 face-melting gurners for the 21st Century’s, wilted and jilted generation.

Glasgow’s Lady Neptune follows her New Gorbals Gabber cassette E.P. with her debut vinyl release NOZ. Over the course of 23 bloody fisted minutes, Lady Neptune’s – aka Moema Meade - hyper destructed take on Gabber and Happy Hardcore breaks down the genre tropes before rebuilding them as a new pop music. If 2020’s New Gorbals Gabber showed an artist building their own language from fragments of different genres, 2022’s NOZ goes harder into the cyberpunk-ass future and takes no prisoners. Recorded and mixed at Glasgow’s legendary Green Door Studios and mastered by Rashad Becker, here Lady Neptune evolves into a monster.

With the classic weapons of Dutch Gabber – distorted 909 kick drums, bursts of noise and world-eating Rave-O- Matic hoovering synth riffs, Lady Neptune’s 6 tracks constantly threaten to careen off the speaker into the sweatiest, most gibbering, messy corners of the club. The two years since her debut has seen Meade destroying festival dancefloors, training for the full assault that is NOZ. Live performances have seen foam guns, tequila-pistols, neon stage dancers and a full, maxed-out orgy of fast-as-hell BPM, rave music burning up the cones. The experience reaps rewards from the outset on recorded form here. APOCOLYPS begins with monstrous vocals and the all-consuming kick, pulled back and taut for launch. The arsenal builds; warbling synths and high-pitched synth-strings before dropping into Bald Terror-sized hoovers and stuttering 4/4s. It quickly bleeds into MASTERER, with a looped, pitched up vocal intersecting with the synth riff. The aesthetics might be Happy Hardcore but the dynamic feels like a synthetic, evil Nu Metal-influenced Industrial music. Constantly evolving and twisting with its own natural drama, the drop at 2:15 is pure ecstatic release. fusing Meade’s inclination for pop hooks with the first out-and-out 180BPM (ish, who’s counting?) anthemic melter of the E.P., TELL ME has THE big catchy chorus, used sparingly and sung by Meade with angelic devilishness, coming at you in waves of XTC. It’s a repeater.

It’s then massive fists in the air for the ruthless Side B opener WIT. In the Welsh-Brazilian artist’s adopted home of Glasgow it translates directly as WHAT!? Itt makes sense. g. Sharp, weaponised, rhythmic punishment abounds before OH responds. Pitched up vocals and another mid-frequency synth hook wipes the slate clean. Like the best Gabber, the tension and release dynamic is used to full effect by Meade, with the thunderous low end kick -expertly tweaked in the mastering by Rashad Becker – slipping into the ghostly cavern. Industrialized 4/4 and noise-snares propel onwards to be utterly squashed by that bloody synth, stinging and horribly brilliant. Proving her genius for a ridiculous A-N-T-H-E-M, TIME 2 MAKE U FEEL GOOD closes the 23 minutes of ragged, drugged glory with a festival-slamming chorus built from the wreckage. It’s a song that does that thing we all know and love but can’t put our finger on. Sad, happy, tragedy, ecstasy, joy, horror...There’s big, minor chord changes (yes there’s some CHORDS on this slammer), the kick is submerged in layers of pads and Meade’s actual secret weapon: her vocal and knack for writing a chorus line. In the listener’s mind it’s over before it’s begun, a track destined for the big rewind.

NOZ is a breathless, E-number riddled eternal ecstasy.

Paul Oakenfold - Shine On

PRFCTLP2101
Black Hole
12inch07.11.202207.NOV.22

TechnoTechnoTranceCommercialTrance

World-class DJ legend Paul Oakenfold and Latin multi-Grammy award winner Luis Fonsi team up on The World Can Wait, an unexpected collaboration meshing the artists’ strengths to produce a heartfelt masterpiece. While combining Oakenfold’s uplifting, melodic synths with Fonsi’s emotional vocals, they take us on a journey where the hopes of an undeniable connection are enough to conquer the world, especially in these troubled times. Co-produced by DJWS (Lady Gaga, Pitbull), The World Can Wait is the first single to be released from Paul’s new album, his first since critically the acclaimed A Lively Mind (2006) and Bunkka (2000) will veer down a decidedly chilled out path, making it an incredibly listenable album and not one solely crafted for the dance floor. “I just love the song and the meaning of the lyrics. The song came about during a writing session I was doing with a few writers and we took it to Luis Fonsi and his team who loved the song as well. It’s a good taste of what’s to come from my studio album – it’s mostly melodic songs and very cinematic with great singers and interesting beats. It’s something you will want to sit down and listen to in its entirety rather than as individual tracks,” Oakenfold says.

Various - CRUISE EP

AVANT-PROPOS RECORDS
12inch09.11.202109.NOV.21

HouseDubTechnoTechno

Dial Records boss Carsten Jost joins Hypallage Project and Potomac to deliver four hypnotic cuts on their Avant-Propos imprint.
Carsten Jost aka David Lieske is the co-founder of Dial Records, the formidable German record label with twenty years’ worth of standout releases from artists such as DJ Richard, Roman Flügel, Efdemin, fellow co-founder Lawrence and Carsten himself to name a few. ‘Cruise’ EP sees him join the newly formed Parisian imprint from the Spazio Tempo residents Hypallage Project and Potomac following the first pair of releases on the imprint that picked up support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Oceanic, B.Traits, Conforce and many more. Carsten Jost’s remix of Hypallage Project’s ‘Cruise’ from the last EP gets things rolling with ethereal pads, dubtinged atmospheres and glistening melodies which unravel gracefully throughout before Hypallage Project’s ‘Endless’ continues with absorbing ambience balancing muddy soundscapes and meditatively, engaging tones.

On the flip, Carsten Jost’s ‘Credit de Cloture’ is a rousing, stripped-back cut featuring tranquilising synths, serene leads floating above twinkling, aquatic melodies and deep-riding drums until Potomac rounds off the EP with ‘Gasless Starship’ which beautifully harmonises laid-back, breaky percussion, sparse modulations and soothing compositions subtly giving off an entrancing aura.
