XM 004EP
|
"New limited 12" from XCPT posse coming under label headz new alias: Sativa Club. Three tracks exploring a wide spectrum of jungle inspired club music. 'Phonato Riddim' spreads instantly a bulging bag of breaks merged harmonically with heavyweight drum patterns, room quaking subs, and synapse bending vocal samples emerging forcefully from hazy soundscapes. 'Sound of Silence' opens the flip side in a beatless smoky environment where blurry hypnotic frequencies quickly get squashed in a rolling drum break. Finally, the 176 bpm full-throttle payoff of 'Amen Drake': slabs of processed amens, paradroid percussions, gently layered synth lines and fucked up wet-dream vocals. Hypnotic dubwise galore on both sides."

SATOTEM 004EP
|
Caustic, dense, and centered around complex but exquisitely executed percussive motifs and driven, rising sequences -- many would argue an alliance between Shifted's heady, monochrome recordings and Lucy's beloved Stroboscopic Artefacts label is long overdue. "The Light Touch" is perhaps one of Shifted's more idiosyncratic pieces, rich with groove. "Seel" showcases the artist's talent for building tension with minimal elements. "Mixen" riffs on its predecessor's approach but strips back the percussive elements further and ups the ante with searing drone signals rising up above the lead sequence driving the track.

FIGUREJAM 004EP
|
Figure Jams enters the next round, setting up a pairing between two hardware-loving, no-frills techno-purists. Both artists build on vibrant, machine-made roughness, yet each leaving their uniquely flavored footprint. Kicking things off is Eindhoven's Albert Van Abbe, whose wide-open soundscapes and searching synths evoke an emotional impact that goes far beyond mere tools. Low-key producer SP-X appears on the flipside, ready to get lost deep within layers of hypnotic loops. Searing percussion, rumbling bass, and dubby synths engage in complex conversation, subtly swelling and swaying but always keeping the groove ever so tight.

EM 004EP
|
With Nekromant, label heads Avidus are back on Empore Music, to present their darker side. The original consists of powerful arpeggiators rolling on a triplet-beat with a trancy vibe. Jens-Uwe Beyer delivers a dreamy remix with nice organic percussive elements. Berlin based Sebastian Voigt, who has been making waves with his release on Outcast Oddity (2016), completes the remixes with a straightened interpretation of the original back to a four-to-the-floor beat, even adding even more drive and power if compared to the original. The EP comes full circle with a beatless "Synthapella" from the original.

GQOM 004EP

The first solo artist release for the Gqom Oh! label. Dominowe is a 19 year old producer from the Newlands east township of Durban, South Africa. Siyathakatha snapshots important themes in Dominowe's personal journey, showcasing his original style in the context of the Durban electronic music scene, especially beside gqom and sghubu. "Siyathakatha" translates to "black magic", or, "we witching", which is right at the heart of this release: listening to these sounds invite you into the universe of an unseen world. It is about gqom working its magic on the dancefloor. "Bhenga Nezinja" features Chaotic Boyz.

FILM 004EP
|
The Berlin based imprint deliver a remix package of Grandbrothers's Dilation (FILM 001CD/LP, 2015). Erol Sarp and Lukas Vogel craft dense, rousing music with nods to IDM, ambient and techno, from the sounds of the grand piano and a set of 20 self-built hammers hitting the piano on different parts. NYC native FaltyDL takes on "Newtons Cradle", turning in a psychedelic slice of half time proto-footwork while both Phillip Otterbach (as Grand Optimist) and Djrum offer their own tripping, ambient reinterpretations. Portable Sunsets reimagines "Neon" as fuzzy beach house jam, with driven drum machine hits and a soothing Vox line.

RAAM 004EP

Raam is back with a killer EP, moving deeper into his gritty and heavy soundscapes with influences from both Detroit and Chicago. "Alvar" is a straight-up chord-driven banger, with classic 909 drum patterns. "Unfold" is a warm, spaced-out Chicago track, reminiscent of Boo Williams. "Brink" has that magic disco flair; woofing basses and sparkling pads create a shimmering atmosphere. This track is perfect to play whenever, wherever.

Featuring the dancefloor stomper "Two Together" which was co-produced by Steffi, "True Friends" featuring Breach on the vocals, and the non-album track "Avenido."

GEM 004EP

One of techno's fastest rising stars brings his strongest EP to date with two huge tracks. "Haasten" (trans. "hurrying") has been destroying crowds during Egbert's live sets around the globe for the past few months. A dark, commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro-sounding orchestral jab. "Yourself" is paving the way for the future of percussion-based techno with punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats that kick ass.
