AWAYLMTD 003EP
|
Berlin party series and label AWAY Music continues its limited vinyl series called Reissued, dedicated to re-releasing iconic cuts from the vast collaborative catalog of Move D & Pete Namlook. The third installment Reissued 3, which follows the series' first two EPs from previous years, features again some exceptional pieces that were previously only available on CD. Move D and Pete Namlook are electronic visionaries whose 26-album relationship explored and intertwined psychedelic synthscapes, deep house and techno, future jazz, and downtempo on Namlook's cult imprint Fax Records. Their innovative and influential works keep inspiring electronic music producers today, showcasing their willingness to collaborate and push the boundaries of electronic music. First up on the A side, "Der Strahlender Verlierer", from the 2006 Album Let the Circle Not Be Broken, begins atmospherically before pushing subtly into open filter and undulating synth territory. Introspective and accepting, the piece gradually lets the sum of its parts coalesce into a peaceful whole with sustained chords and the flicker of played steel strings. "Hardwired Tangent" from the 2001 Album Wired rounds out the first side with edgier and more ominous tones. Brooding and bubbling its way through artificial textures absorbed by carefully weighted rhythmic tension. Shuffling jazz electronics. The moody low-mid hum providing buoyancy throughout. Also from the 2001 album, the B side's "Hardwired Hypotenuse + Asymptote" is a synthetic journey. Textural, pseudo-organic, pulsating with urgency. The motoric percussion imparting structure to the sonic alchemy. Tactile yet integrated components offer the listener (or dancer) multiple entry points into the music. This is both artful and kaleidoscopic -- a treatise on contemplative and psychoactive house music. Reissued 3 is a true testament to the innovative spirit and pioneering work of Move D and Pete Namlook. With these tracks now available on vinyl for the first time, AWAY's limited series is a must-have for old and new fans alike.

OMSD 003EP
|
Selva Discos kick off a new series of singles with a rare native Brazilian chant adapted by Marlui Miranda backed with a dancefloor friendly Joutro Mundo mix. The haunting, beautiful melody of "Tchori Tchori" couldn't get a better companion than the exquisite musical palette of Uakti, the great Brazilian instrumental groups who appeared alongside Maria Rita on Brasileira (OMSD 001LP). It's never been on a vinyl record before. On the B side, Brazilian DJ and producer Joutro Mundo (Jonas Rocha's alias), takes you on a journey reworking Marlui's groove with subtlety, extending the chant and adding just the right elements.

EVERLAND 003EP
|
Very little is known about the apparent duo Stevens & Foster who had this self-produced release in 1977 on the Jerri Records label from Atlanta, Georgia. Nevertheless, original copies are now very scarce and crazy expensive. For decades, the B side's piano intro has rescued a DJ's dancefloor all over Europe with its seductive qualities of lush strings, muted wah-wah, simplistic but addictive piano. In more recent times it is the A side has also gathered a strong following, using the same instrumental approach but taking the pace right down. Fully restored and officially licensed.

Pablo Mateo makes his debut with Dred and the hype is real. Pablo delivers two cuts of machine man house and techno. "Fazing Trees" is an emotional ride transporting spirits beyond physical worlds and deploys house music's most formidable instrument, the piano.

NTTD 003EP
|
On Albrecht La'Brooy's Emissary EP, the Melbourne duo's live approach to programming and arrangement can be heard as the tracks ebb and flow effortlessly. In "Tempelhof", sub swells and a throbbing kick accompany delicate leads and lightly touched drums. "Hinterhof" pulses and sways with lively percussion, crystalline bells, euphoric strings and softly-spoken melodies. "U-Bahn / S-Bahn" begins with glistening top lines and panoramic chords over a growling bass and a steady groove. As the journey rolls on from the underground into open-air window-gazing territory, the piece takes an ambient, beatless turn.

BOXED 003EP

Boxed return with the third edition of their various artists EP series. Mr. Mitch's graceful and unsettling "Friend Of Mine" flips a soul sample in a screwed-and-chopped fashion.

OG grime don JT The Goon unleashes "Flux Capacitor" - Fairlight-era flutes orbit a classic JT bassline for pure emotional, end-of-night vibes. Sirpixalot drops his VIP of "All In One", trademark modal keys and skittering drums combining with triton bass.

RTGD 003EP

Untitled emerges as a moody four tracker born in Matteo Luis' home studio. The title track heads for the climax in manner of a cyclone, a straight stomper that evolves its full strength within its last solution. "Yucca" has those smooth chords in the back that are dramatically charged, sexy and slow. "Impulse" is Matteo in full effect. Bouncy and moody at the same time, it captures the EP's dub influence perfectly. The track is also remixed by Benedikt Frey for the final track. Full cover artwork by Hermann Reimer.

GRD 003EP

After a two year hiatus Graded is back with label founder Midland at the controls and it's been worth the wait. Blush EP is left-of-center club music for warehouses and basements alike. The A-side 'Blush' has stuttering rolling percussion and a synth line as bold as it is unusual make this one a very strong club tool. On the B-side 'Outpost' and 'Holdup' take a deeper turn, rich in suspense and expertly programmed drums, they're unmistakably Midland productions drawn from the more obscure corners of his sound pallet.

"Body" features Re.You's trademark keyboard themes backed with synthetic percussion and a strident groove -- pure dancefloor, stripped back and upfront.

Noo (Daze Dasen (Plastique de Rêve) and Sami Liuski (Bangkok Impact, Putsch '79)) follow their self-titled debut (OMD 001EP) -- a summer 2014 smash hit -- with the third in the Optimo Music Disco Plate series. Imaginative sampling and analog machines; phenomenally produced modern disco epics that fully work their magic in a club setting. "Must Be the Music": absolutely guaranteed not to appeal to moody techno fucks. Epic disco-ness abounds. Features breakdance potential breakdown at around six minutes. Huge with Pete Waterman. "Heaven's Gate": a soundtrack for evacuating the planet. Road tested on our last star trip to Sirius.

A track that will forever go down in Chicago house history -- "Fear Tha World" by unsung Chicago hero Houz Mon is credited as being the first-ever ghetto house track. Originally released in 1993 on Beat Boys, and despite an awful pressing quality, the original release has been selling on Discogs between £50 and £90 due to its painfully limited pressing. Ripped from the original DAT, Another Day presents "Fear" for the first time on vinyl in 21 years -- and the first time ever on beautiful virgin vinyl.
