Life Scripts duo Common Factors aka James Welsh and label boss Alexander Church link up for a fourth EP featuring two Eomac remixes. Common Factors is all about exploring cosmic synths, post-rave breakbeats and ambient beauty; music that makes an emotional as well as physical impact. They have done so three times on this label so far, with Church going solo for the only other release to date. Welsh and Church are also regular studio collaborators on Church's Configurations of Self label, and once again here they craft real studio magic.
Our pick falls on opener 'Protect Express Regulate' has a bulbous bassline but coarse, glitchy hits that cut through the mix. Layered synths rise through the scales and ensure your mind ascends to the heavens while your feet cannot resist the firmly rooted grooves.

A shape-shifting water spirit, with the ability to transform into anything in pursuit of luring prey to its depths. Sonically conceptual, warm, classic-inspired and hardware-enriched palette with roots in 90’s Detroit style electronic music.
With an illustrious past in music, Nøkken is a fresh start for the elusive musician. The album opens with a Vangelis-like chord, setting the tone for the rest of the play. 808 drums and 303 bass-lines traverse Electro, Garage, Trip-hip, after-hours Techno Electronica, Ambient and...the list goes on. Nøkken closes the LP with a gorgeous Eno- inspired track, featuring field-recordings from the Nøkken itself.
The album will be available on high-bias cassette tape and digital.

PREMIERE | Nøkken - Espirit [Polymath] 2021

The night was warm and balmy, almost as if the sun had never left the sky. It made their journey much more difficult, much longer and more tasking than in the cooler conditions they'd experienced at the outset. The drop off had been significant too, they'd had to leave people behind at most of their checkpoints - now only a few remained. The heat wasn't even the worst of their troubles, there were treacherous obstacles ahead that they'd soon have to tackle.

Brazil-born, Berlin-based producer Rotciv has got an enviable string of releases under his belt. Aside from outings for his own Mister Mistery imprint, he's put out records with Rebirth, Polari, Funnovejere and several on Luv Shack Records, which include collaborative and split EPs with Das Komplex and Space Echo. Last year saw him debut on Jorkes' Freeride Millenium imprint - a joint release with Pauls Musique - and now he makes his return to the former for 'Resemblance'. Made up of four tracks, the release showcases Rotciv's love of enchanting electronics, from trance and minimal synth to acid house and electro grooves.

Resemblance

PREMIERE: Rotciv - Guarani [Freeride Millenium]

Macaulay is back with a collection of 4 trax with his signature sound for the underground dancefloors.

The hypno-tribal-ish "Oy" is the first cut of McCollection. Mystic voices chants will take you straight to the jungle.

Yes, "Ponte Atento" is that track, but Macaulayzed for the rave.

Minimal + Rave meets Macaulay = "Su Claxon"

"Esta Fiesta No Termina" is the last cut (translated from spanish: "This Party Does Not End"), a track to remind the people of the dancefloor that there's more party to go.

On 13th August 2021, Berlin based label Public Relations will share the final installment of their debut release by Earth Space Object (E.S.O). The package features the artist’s first two singles plus remixes of both tracks by Amarcord and Ian Blevins.

Kicking off proceedings with the dark mechanical dance rhythms of Red Curtain, minimal bass lines and synth melodies provide a dose of melancholic adrenaline centered around E.S.O’s haunted, lo-fi vocal. Contrasted with the dark mood of Red Curtain, second single Magic 777 carries a lighter, more pop-infused touch. Still retaining the hypnotic percussive patterns and heart-skipping melodies the artist is quickly becoming synonymous with, Magic 777 is a colorful deep dive into E.S.O’s introspective side, and it quickly pulls you under.

The two singles provide a conflicting vision of euphoria and melancholia, with warped vocal elements and loose transitions being the common theme running through E.S.O’s new wave vision. Although executed differently, a sense of liberation is present in both tracks, a characteristic indicative of the artists approach to writing in this early stage of his sonic explorations: “Like much of my music at this stage, rather than having a specific message, my first two singles are more of an expressive release. Part self-help, part autobiographical, I’m experimenting with collections of sounds and a stream of consciousness, forged in between lockdowns but continuing to slowly evolve.” – E.S.O

Both singles have been remixed by two artists E.S.O holds in high regard. First up is Amarcord’s cascading melancholia-drenched rework of Red Curtain. With a very diverse background that ranges from Krautrock and Ambient to New Wave, Disco and Techno, Amarcord's productions and DJ sets are characterized by a continuous research and personal development which distinguish him as an artist never scared of breaking boundaries and taking unpredictable choices. Ian Blevins version of Magic 777 comes marching out the stops before introducing a deadly bassline and generous dose of Balearic sparkle into the mix without losing any of the punch. Ian rose to prominence with iconoclastic output on labels including Future Boogie, Not An Animal, MeMeMe, and most notably, E.S.P Institute.

Belly Dance Services garnishes late summer season with VARIOUS WORLDWIDE III – it’s the third VA chapter featuring five different artists from across the globe.

The journey starts with Tel Aviv based producer LOTT. CAMELS DON’T RUSH, is a great opener driven by one chunky bassline blended with acidic synth elements. A massive tune that shows LOTT’s talent to fuse eastern sounds with western house music inspired elements.

Track two comes from DUCATI FLUX, he’s the Co-Label-Head of Berlin based Odd Pleasures and half of Random Atlas. With NAHUAL, the virtuoso of chilean origin gifted us with a catchy dark tune that is full of playfulness and shows the catchy creative side of the producer.

The third track comes from berliner HEIDENREICH featuring singer OBENOHNI. THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING is not just the name of the song, it’s also what this indie stepper musically stands for. A psychedelic voyage driven by sudden suspense, and also the intense vocal elements make you feel like in a interactive dance cabaret.

The fourth masterpiece comes straight from Amsterdam by PERDU who recently had his release on Live At Robert Johnson. IS IT YOU, FEAR? is a gloomy obscure composition that is guided by percussive elements and builds up to a banquet of trippy grooves.

The final countdown is delivered by Mexican ULISES ARRIETA. CONSTRUCTIONS is dark disco at it’s purest manner: metallic drums creating a sticking melody and the vocal samples that reappear… will make the crowd go bonkers. 

Tracklist:

1) Lott - Camels Don't Rush
2) Ducati Flux - Nahual
3) Heidenreich & ObenOhni - The Opposite Of Everything
4) Perdu - Is It You, Fear?
5) Ulises Arrieta - Constructions

Samo Records has something special for their next release. Mickey Dagger, who previously released a track on our Spiral compilation, sent us a whole EP jam-packed with incredible remixes.

For his cover of the ‘80s kitsch track "I Want To Be A Cowboy,” he adds his signature dark and slightly sarcastic spin.
On the remix side, we have Antoni Maiovvi, who did a big room mix, Thomas Von Party, who made a breaky one, Ortrotasce, who contributed an old-school industrial/EBM version, and label head Facets, who was convinced by Mickey to provide his own take.

All the proceeds will be going to ISKWEU Project an indigenous women's shelter in Canada.

Vivod label boss Ali Renault serves up this rather moody ep in memory of his late friend, Pete Mangalore of Human Shield fame. The five tracker kicks off with Northdown Acid, a brooding sprawl with elements of Italo and acid combined to beautiful effect. The amusingly titled Imminent Salad follows with its jacking strut groove, laden with lush pads. Peter Summoning breaks up the ep with its simple ambient suggestion. On the flip things get going again with slo mo stomper Forbidden Mind before title track Nawce Blizzard closes with it’s electro style hypnosis. Finally we’re left with an infinite cat purring locked groove to send you to sleep. Great ep from start to finish. All copies come with a free Peter plectrum and vivod sticker. Only 280 for the world so don’t miss out!
