We officially introduce you to our newest family member, Sam Gellaitry. Setting the stage for his first EP, 'Short Stories' (2/17/15), Sam shares single, "Temple", foreshadowing what's to come on his long-awaited 5-track EP. 

Premiered by The FADER http://www.thefader.com/2015/01/27/sam-gellaitry-temple

With initial sounds of the phone ringing off the hook and a dreamy synth progression on "Temple", Sam ropes you in and then immediately hits the listener with an automatic headbanger all whilst maintaining a dreamy and steadily uptempo vibe.

This young man of 18 years is from Stirling, [central] Scotland - where the "culture" part of the wiki section reads one line. Culture in the form of music however, is plentiful and diverse in Sam's case – drawing on influences from Madlib and Jamiroquai to Flying Lotus, Röyksopp, Hudson Mohawke, Mr. Carmack and Outkast. By the time Sam was 16, he'd learned to engineer and master audio which might shed some light on his unique song structure and diverse journey through many genres apparent in the course of one single track. 

Sam marries his love and knowledge of bass guitar, synthesizer and piano with honed production skills to create seamless heavy hitting electronic music that retains raw instrumental elements and evokes a certain happiness and soulful connectedness. With a father who has a background in making bagpipes among other talents and Mum - a former in a band member playing guitar and singing it's really no surprise that Sam's magical ears give him the ability to translate 5+ genres seamlessly into one beautiful song or 'Short Story'.

'Short Stories' defies traditional notions of what it is to create 'electronic music' traveling through uptempo house, UK-garage, heavy bass, hip hop and soul - in 5 succinct stories.

1Up - MinaRose

Being a long time resident DJ somewhere teaches you the sort of skills that stand you out from the pack. Cologne’s Lena Willikens is one such special selector who has very much made Salon Des Amateurs in Dusseldorf her own. As well as serving up singular sets there, she is also a key part of the Comeme Records crew with the likes of Barnt. For them she hosts a regular radio show, and for them she has released her brooding, industrially bleak techno sounds. 

Lena’s influences come from well outside the normal cannon - proto techno, industrial boogie, synthesised disco, outlier house and robot jack all characterise her work, and the set she has served up here. It is one hour of unusual grooves, unsettling atmospheres and metallic textures that are abstract and dehumanised and take you to a raw and visceral place that is hugely intoxicating. Easily one of the best mixes this year so far in our humble opinion!

LYRICS
=THE GREAT EQUALISER=
                
 You'll have to excuse me 
For breaking the flow
But I've spent decades in this City
With nothing to show
I'm an Instagram outcast 
and the Tweeters just dodge me
and i'm scared to go out
Just in case someone blogs me
I used to have friend's
and a good rep still
But I couldn't keep up
With the Broadband bills

Look I would stay and chat
But I really must go
It just feels like I live
In a Reality Show
Now everyones got camera's
and tracks on their phones
and I know it sounds para
But I don't like the tones
I would get a bus home
But my Oysters been cloned
and the Yuppies have priced me out
Of my Travelcard zone

I find my experience
Quite hard to explain
But Clouds Shadow Me
Full of Bad Karma Rain
5 times in 5 years 
Someone hit by my train
Fingers crossed that Shit
Doesn't happen again
Gil Scott Heron was right
It wont be on TV
Because No one wants change
Unless its Buy 1 get 1 Free
You cant print the Truth
Unless Murdoch agrees
As the BBC morphs into CCTV

With progress comes wealth
There's no doubting that
But if you win the rat race
You're still a Fucking Rat
If you wanna sit glued to your phone 
While your Brain's washed
Your lifeforce is stripped from your soul
and your dream's squashed
We're encouraged to Upload our lives
But at what cost?
All those barrels of oil
They can't make up for the lives lost

Still I wish i could see
Just a glimmer of hope
I keep washing my hands
I'm using plenty of soap
This New Word's out of order
It's just a bad joke
Like hanging yourself
But you've paid for the rope
The Sun's got his hat on
Quick blink or you'll miss it
Like a long doting Father
That no longer visits
Was it something we did?
Or the way that we did it?
Because it seems like
When spring comes
Autumn comes with it  
Autumn comes with it  
autumn comes with it\  
What the fuck is going on?

Fuck You Fuck Your laws
Fuck Your Lies Fuck the System
We'll Never be with You
All the while you insist on
The Have's and the Have-nots
The Forgotten and Chosen
Be Prepared for New Ways
Because Here Comes The Implosion!

Sneak in like a Virus
Now your systems infected
Before You can stop it
The Harmonic's Reflected
You can try if you want
But you can't disconnect it
It brings Essence and Truth
And you cannot deflect it
