As an artist with already a lot of very successful material to his name, Rodriguez Jr.’s debut album Bittersweet is a highly anticipated release. There are in fact many reasons why people should hold their breath for it - an impressive 11 track body of work that features some of the well renowned and loved Rodriguez Jr. sonic traits, as well as a lot of new and previously unchartered musical ground. It simultaneously presents techno, atmospheric dub, hypnotic, melancholy and hands down hedonistic music, and with a focus on exploring textures and moods, there is something here for everyone to get lost in.

Rodriguez Jr., aka Oliver Mateu, was originally introduced to music through radio in the south of France, where he closely followed a selection of 80s bands, as well as forming a strong love for synthesizers. It wasn’t long before he was inspired to start his own group with partner Giles Escoffier ‘The Youngsters’, which quickly signed to Laurent Garnier’s F-Communications, taking them to some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. After great success, the project was put on hold and over the last five years Mateu has been given the space to focus more on his solo work and finally the opportunity to create an album.

In spite of his French origins, both Olivier Mateu's artist name and productions lean more towards his father's Spanish roots, with a Mediterranean warmth and party atmosphere often coming to the fore. Bittersweet, however, embodies influences from all over the world. Inspired during recent trips to Japan, Canada and Europe, the voyaging Rodriguez Jr. accompanied by his laptop lay down ideas in hotel rooms after playing in clubs and absorbed the different environments around him into his work. With each country creating a new experience, his touring has played a big part in the variety of tracks that are presented here.

Whilst the spice of Bittersweet was captivated in far away places, the main body of the production of the album was carried out in Mateu’s hidden away studio in Belgium, filled with many loved pieces of analogue gear and synthesizers. Ranging from the Roland TR909, for a classic house drum feel, to the Korg MS10 for dirtier sounds, and a selection of Roland keyboards to choose from, “I am definitely a synth fetishist! Ahaha!” (Rodriguez Jr.). Each has contributed in Rodriguez Jr.’s quest to create an artistic project of the highest quality and creativity that he is capable of, with outstanding results. He has also drawn on the creative input of two musicians who are featured in two of the tracks – And.Id playing his trumpet and Cari Golden’s vocals.

A masterpiece that truly reflects the Rodriguez Jr. of today, it also offers us enough variety and surprise to keep us inspired by this ever-evolving artist. Reflecting on the tracks Bittersweet refers to the contradictory forces at play within the music – it may be beautiful and it may be sweet – but be careful of the party animal it can unleash both in the creator and within all of you present on the dancefloor!

A2: Avalon Emerson – Sword And Rose Forever
B1: Avalon Emerson – Constantly My Cure (Plan Around Me Dub)
B2: Avalon Emerson – Hurdy Gurdy DJ Tool

shtum’s latest artist is none other than Avalon Emerson, who hits hard with her first appearance on the Dresden-based label with a record full of techno beauties. “Constantly My Cure (Vocal Mix)” features vocals by Avalon herself that ride on an unstoppable acid-driven bassline towards a forceful and paradoxically cold yet warm climax. “Constantly My Cure (Plan Around Me Dub)”, offers an instrumental redux that's less ambiguous in its intentions — this one's aimed straight for maximum dancefloor effect. "Sword and Rose Forever" shows once again that she knows how to create relentless club music imbued with beautifully bittersweet atmosphere. The EP closes with the punch of "Hurdy Gurdy DJ Tool," a break-laden machine-piston of a rhythmic workout that's made for those selectors who want to set fire to the floor and jam the energy up to a frenetic peak.

As La Fleur, Swedish-born-Berlin Based Sanna Engdahl has been caressing ears with her mesmerizing and subtle house since 2010. The 20th of May will see her featured on Kerri Chandler's Madhouse Ibiza compilation with the dreamy and sun splashed "Vervain", a beautiful, spaced out house track consisting of warm murky soundscapes, chuggy bass hits and chopped vocals, all in all; a delicate piece of house that witness of Engdalh's meticulous care for the suggestive.

WHAT THE EXPERTS & TASTEMAKERS SAY ABOUT LAP TOP LESS DANCE

Started to check it, but my pot of coffee was burning in the other room
and completely forgot about it after"
(Ron Morelli)

"Downloaded and listened for Vladimir Ivkovic. No need to let him know" (Download Automaton)

“I’m disappointed to hear Hugo churning out yet more tech-house by numbers in his ruthless quest to be the biggest dj in Ibiza” 
(JD Twitch, Optimo)

“If I were to associate myself with this abomination I would almost certainly drop a further 15 places in the RA Poll (my worst nightmare) so obviously I’m not prepared to do that. Please remove me immediately from your mailing list and do not contact me again. If you must use a quote for this (your final release) then you may say: “This is very
weak.” 
(JG Wilkes, Optimo)

“I told Hugo my favourite release of 2016 is Flores Feias next thing I know this opportunist arse is making a track with her” 
(Marc Piñol)

Over the years has played alongside some of the greatest DJs in the world from Carl Cox to Afrika Bambaataa.
