2019

<p>It&#8217;s time for Sasha Carassi&#8217;s &#8220;Echoes&#8221; from a few months ago to receive remix treatment, and Skober&#8217;s interpretation is up first and focuses on the melodic elements of the Original but cleverly adds moody synths which add to the overall epicness of the affair, especially in the grandiose breakdown. Layton Giordani is up next with his trademarked shadowy sound and impeccable arrangement, offering yet another angle of attack. Last but not least are Loco &amp; Jam dubbing things out with bursts of references to the original in key moments, while maintaining a rocksteady vibe sprinkled with discordant stabs.</p>

Sasha Carassi - Echoes (Skober Remix) [Phobiq]

Enrico Sangiuliano came up through illegal raves and is now a top DJ who plays all over the world and has his music played by the likes of Adam Beyer and Sven Vath. He has had the longest ever running techno number one on Beatport (his remix of ‘Can You Hear Me’ for DJ Boris on Alleanza) and is one of the best selling artists on the site at any one time. His music comes on Cocoon and Drumcode amongst others, and is powerful, direct stuff for the dance floor.

Written entirely in Italy, “X-Pollination (or cross-pollination) is fundamentally the key factor of growth, consciousness and life,” says the artist. “It’s the way I connect with people, share my passion, fly from one place to another and put many influences and elements into my music.”

The title track is eight minutes of slow burning but hypnotic techno funk with rolling rubber drums and nervy pads. Frazzled synths add post apocalyptic vibes to this main room anthem and many well crafted peaks and troughs along the way help make it even more standout. It is a real techno classic in the making.

Mark Reeve is the UK star who remixes. He has a long history with techno that goes back to the rave scene. Since then his education has taken in trips to techno mecca The Omen, has resulted in music on Cocoon and collabs with Pig & Dan. He has also released on Drumcode and has a big rolling sound that fills the world’s finest clubs and warehouses with his unique grooves. His take on the original is more energetic, with searing synths, cantering kicks and a dark energy that makes you pump your fist and stomp the floor. It is full of drama and is perfect balanced from start to finish.

3. König Balthasar Remix (06:41) ISRC: DE-PL9-18-00358
4. Oilst Remix (07:46) ISRC: DE-PL9-18-00359

About a year after Simon Kwe remixed Rolf Saxer's „Dust“ the two artists team up to take it slower with „Ritual“. Afternoon: Analog drums & synths, raw textures of oud-like patterns and polyrhythmic percussion loops pair with a slow but yet driving bassline. The instruments are set in a free-flowing arrangement and generate an undeniable hypnotic quality. Think down tempo shamanism at your favourite daytimer.
Dusk: Matija is one of Zurichs dancefloor veterans, keeping it fresh since years. He adds a „Carpenter meets Pachanga Boys“-quality with a beautiful synth pad and some extra bass-sounds. You can't listen without thinking of the sun starting to set over the best outdoor rave you've ever been to. Night time: König Balthasar's version drags you into the vortex of endless delays and filter sweeps. While one might think Matija celebrates the fading daytime Balthasar provides the crowd with this most peculiar way-past-midnight-thrills. Dawn: Enter Oilst, part of the Irubo family and one half of the Wandervogel-Duo. His remix showcases an irresistible groove and swing with some extra percussion, a 16th note synth-shuffle and intriguing lead sounds. Feel the sun rise with this one?

Rolf Saxer x Simon Kwe - Ritual (Oilst Remix) - Released on Hardau Records

Drumcode has become a label synonymous with some of the most-cutting edge and forward-thinking techno over the last 20 years. Their artists include both emerging and established names, and one of those well recognised is Enrico Sangiuliano. Now announcing the very first concept album of his career.

The prolific Italian producer has been catapulted into the limelight after the runaway success of his past releases, and now Biomorph is born. 

A very special concept album designed to take the listener on a journey of evolution. A musical adaptation describing how biological and technological advances over numerous generations of time have all started from the same first step in our own biological journey.

Divided into 4 parts, Organisms opens with atmospheric tones, gradually blending complex textures and timbres to begin the evolutional process. The beginning of this section combines full sounding arrangements before stripping it all back to basics. From here it dissolves into the atmosphere. Organisms then progresses into a break-beat influenced, down tempo track using synths to add complexity to the straight, broken rhythms.

Galactic, futuristic elements are found in both tracks in Cosmic Forces. Upbeat, groovy, electronic synths resonate, before ‘Hidden T’ brings the tension to get things pumped up with stratospheric swirls and twirls to lay down one of the most mind meltingly deep drops.

Metamorphosis is mysterious, its opening beat is a deep and piercing tone that sends the listener into a sensory awareness of their surroundings before breaking into a fully charged, techno track, with Enrico’s trademark sounds and textures.

All evolution has an ending.

Two Probabilities shows the positive, starting out evocative and emotional, with a gentle harmony, gazing towards a ‘New Dawn’. On the other side of the spectrum lies the negative. This is influenced with a rhythm that articulates the beat of death, mathematical, cold and metallic in texture, it shows the unsustainability of its nature, with a hectic, anxious break beat influenced ending.

Enrico Sangiuliano - Symbiosis - Drumcode - DC190 [III - Metamorphosis]

(lyrics are actually a cover of Middle Brother - Daydreaming)

Early in the morning, too hungover to go back to sleep
Every sound is amplified, every light so dizzying
Listen for a while to the neighbors having sex
Wishing I could lay my aching head upon your breast
Can't I dream another dream?
Can't I close my eyes?

But I'm daydreaming about you
I know that it's wrong
That I'm daydreaming about you

Bloodymary afternoon, waste my time out in the sun
Hum myself some melodies, maybe I could sing you one
Maybe I could find you sitting down at the cafe
Maybe I could join you at your table today
Can't I just get what I want?
Can't I be the man that steals your heart?

But I'm daydreaming about you
I know that it's wrong
That I'm daydreaming about you

They say we are a product of our environment, you are what you eat and you reap what you sow. But what happens when you can no longer dig the earth and your food is toxic?

Amselcom has forever been near the forefront of change, exposing new ideas and giving insight through music and creativity. Our goal was always to bring the world closer by removing barriers and letting sounds and rhythm demonstrate humanity's true, loving nature. That is why a transformation has taken place and with this latest release we hope to give back and contribute without the shallow, meaningless compensation that feeds the music industry. 

Geplantes Nichtstun demonstrates this concept perfectly, by saying it is time to remove ourselves from the machine and make our own way, in our own time. These tracks look to offer introspective that can only be found after eliminating barriers like money and fame. Taking time for idleness lets us forget about the things that try and control our lives, a necessary respite in a time of increasing global noise. 

Tracks like Opak offer the perfect accompaniment to a quiet time of soulful reflection and Mario Wagner's wonderful Control Room image brings us the idea of self direction and taking charge of your own destiny… one rest at a time.

JOURNAL ENTRY - MARCH 26 2019

“I was a wanderer on a prehistoric earth, of an earth that wore the aspect of an unknown planet. Going up that river was like traveling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, an impenetrable jungle. The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish. The long stretches of the waterway ran on, deserted, into the gloom of overshadowed distances…and this stillness of life did not in the least resemble a peace. It was the stillness of an implacable force brooding over an inscrutable intention. It looked at you with a vengeful aspect. As I slowly penetrated ever so deeper into this heart of darkness my soul was set ablaze with an infinity of wonders that I discovered…”

Out now on Beatport
https://www.beatport.com/release/archetypes-ep/2541151

A self-proclaimed pescatarian yoga nerd with a penchant for Techno, Liverpool-based DJ/Producer Paul Nolan makes his artist debut on Bedrock with the stunning Archetypes EP.

You've probably been listening and dancing to Paul Nolan for many years, but you might not have realised it. As a co-founder of the highly rated Chapter 24 Records, audio engineer to various legendary electronic artists, and as a renowned artist development guru, Paul has spent a decade working stealthily behind the scenes and leaving his indelible mark on the dance music landscape. Now, he is finally stepping out of the shadows to shine a spotlight on his unbridled artistic talents.

Paul is a prime example of an artist unafraid to push the boundaries whilst simultaneously delivering that essential emotional, physical and spiritual payoff on the dancefloor - an attitude that matches perfectly with Bedrocks forward-thinking creative ethos. The masterful simmering structure of Form Constants ebbs and flows and builds to a series of deliciously euphoric soaring crescendos that are simply irresistible. Meanwhile, Warrior is a decidedly different, yet no less engrossing beast a staccato alarm call to action powered by distinctive melodic percussion and wave after wave of monstrously dominant synth action. It is no wonder that Pauls production, engineering, mixing and mastering skills are so revered within the scene.

An intrepid and fearless attitude to sound design and pushing sonic boundaries led him to work as an engineer, sound designer and programmer for Sasha's critically and commercially acclaimed Late Night Tales album 'Scene Delete in 2016 (behind the scenes feature here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoulSQAedfo) and work with numerous other artists, including the likes of Arthur Baker, The Martinez Brothers, JunkieXL, Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation and Hollywood film composer Jeff Rona.

Now that he is finally stepping into the spotlight (and with an Asia Tour already under his belt), next comes a US DJ Tour taking place in early 2019, alongside a host of productions and remixes waiting in wings to be unveiled. Paul Nolan is primed to move to the forefront of the scene that he has tirelessly dedicated himself to for the past decade and the future looks very bright indeed.

BEDDIGI139 1. Paul Nolan - Form Constants

We pride ourselves on listening to every demo we are sent which means no dope track will slip between the cracks. This is a big process but is extremely rewarding. Litterbox has always been a great way to showcase the vast array of demos we are sent. Its a way to bring like minded producers, listeners and dj's together and showcase all styles of house music in one tidy package. This release is almost entirely fresh faces which goes to show how many artists are doing it right!

We suggest closing your eyes, grabbing a frothy one and pressing play on what is definitely our biggest and most unique compilation to date.

AYAREZ - Bossy (BOC069)

A testament to the growth of Adam Beyer’s scene-leading label, Drumcode annual A-Sides Vol.8 is the brand’s biggest yet.

The 25-track strong compilation features standout cuts Beyer has received over the last 12 months, but been unable to find room for in Drumcode’s regular release schedule, such is the volume and high standard of music that’s submitted.

The highlight-rich compilation includes Jamie Jones & Darius Syrossian’s buzzy Drumcode debut ‘Eyes of the Night’, Nicole Moudaber’s first DC release in 5 years with the mesmerizing ‘This Is Us’, Will Clarke’s bass-drenched re-work of Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ and Joey Beltram’s first Drumcode release in 11 years with the retro-tinged ‘Can You Feel It’. 

The beloved Alan Fitzpatrick returns to the fold with the searing ‘Heiße Rakete’, alongside label mainstays Layton Giordani, who drops the stirring chord-driven ‘Chrome’ and Wehbba with ‘Mantra’, combining techno classicism with future-focused groove.

There’s a troupe of debutants donning the Drumcode jersey for the first time, including BEC, Shelley Johannson, Anthony Castaldo, Avision, Zimmz, Woo York, SAMA (in a terrific collaboration with Secret Cinema) and Ilija Djokovic, who delivers a shimmering highlight with ‘Aura’, a particular favourite of Beyer’s over the last year. Raxon also debuts on the label after a couple of quality additions to the Truesoul back catalogue.

Exciting young guns Weska and Juliet Fox bring heat to the compilation, while Veerus and Timmo follow up strong DC releases with a repeat dose. Elsewhere faithful contributors Ramon Tapia, Jay Lumen, Luca Agnelli, Marco Bailey and Mark Reeve craft powerful dancefloor weapons.

Odi Puncher - Your Langage (Adonai Remix)

'Awesome Soundwave is Carl Cox's label that focus on live electronic music. Their next release is from Julien Chaptal.

Julien Chaptal is an electronic assembly — part French electronics, part Detroit synth machine, and part Dutch minimal robot (as part of MFD, Le Clic and Amsterdam661). 
 
Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien’s performances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human. 
 
Chaptal's newest record, The Way, was conceived after a few too many knobs were turned on his Octatrack, sending Julien tumbling through time and space to capture decades worth of dance floor musical influence before returning home. Recorded live along the journey — on stage, by boat, and in a camper van — The Way’s hypnotic tracks are an intimate look at the intricate circuitry composing the logic behind electronic music, showcasing where it has come, where it is now, and where it will travel to in the future. '
