Airflex Labs is proud to provide you with an exclusive collaboration between two rising names in the blurred area of today’s bass music. Neat’s “A Light I Know” debut EP released on Airflex Labs a few months ago made him gain support from a wide array of djs, producers and promoters from Sepalcure, Incyde, Jack Dixon, VVV, Whistla, Hush House, Ministry of Sound, Von D, Quantec, Phaeleh and many more.

For his second strike, he joins forces with Uk Garage fresh prince Submerse to deliver an amazing slow- paced track showcasing their common love for House and new breeds of Bass 
Music.

The electronic music scene witnesses an exciting forward-thinking House renewal these days, and “Close” is a moody and sensual hybrid that fits perfectly into this niche. Following the path pioneered by names suh as Joy O, Braiden, Sigha, Midland, Will Saul, BNJMN or Julio Bashmore, Neat and Submerse deliver a deep and delightful dancefloor worker.

Flip it and you get two amazing visions of the title. Widely acclaimed NYC talent Drew Lustman aka FaltyDL unleashes his staggering production skills on a futuristic Garage cut, taking the original track to a highly emotional and intense belter made out of 808 mastery, where clipped percussions meet filtered theme reworks. An unmistakable FaltyDL work.

Then, one of UK’s most promising young blood producer Jack Dixon gives “Close” the heavy treatment that made his sound a signature of his own. For his first appearance on vinyl after a brilliant debut EP on Silverback Recordings and various reworks that got him set uip on the map, Jack delivers a shimmering remix where swirls of analog synths fight an uncompromised drum kit, held by a massive sub layer that makes it an instant winner.

Nekochan is back, with a delightful 12".

  With a wide array of influences, a very distinctive style and a strong taste for melody and crafted musical skills, French artist Chloé Arnaud aka Nekochan is surely one of the most exciting and refreshing producers at the moment. Her stylish blends and arresting collisions of electronica, bass and glitched-up beats, led by her aqueously expressive voice, mark her out immediately as an artist destined for widespread acclaim.



  A classically trained cellist, she evolved into Nekochan in 2006 after a few years applying her unusual
  voice and skills as part of an electronic duo. Inspired by baroque and classical composition as well as a flamenco-player stepfather, and a passion for oriental melodic patterns, her gift for catchy figures and intricate rhythms is no surprise given the sheer range and depth of her sonic colourbox, while her highly individual blend of sound and mood switches adeptly from electronica and techno to the more underground tones of dubstep and glitch hop … all with her unique vocal signature. Nekochan’s 2009 debut download-only release met with success in pushing dubstep into new zones, and now comes the first foray into vinyl, with the three-track killer ‘Minimal Bump’ EP, that will further reconfigure notions of what bass music can be.



  The title track has already been featured on Mary Anne Hobbs, who played an early version in may last year after hearing it on myspace. ‘Minimal Bump’ is a powerful techno/break/dubstep instrumental with a huge kick and seismic bass work, custom built for dancefloor mayhem, with its layered synths, advanced rythmic shifts, cavernous drops, and an explosive production style that recalls the intricacies of prime Meat Beat Manifesto at the same time as giving most wobble dubsteppers a run for their money. 



  On the flip, ‘Bombine’ is another view entirely; a emotive disjointed stepper with melancoly pop tones, which unfolds in a smokey torch-song style to reveal further layers to Nekochan’s innate musical instincts. It’s fluidly evolving contrasts between dominant bass levels, powerful rhythms, and subtly-pitched Japanese strings mix and grow around that voice, putting the listener as much in mind of Burial's sadness as Bjork’s vivid expression.



  Finally, Vahiné - already released as ARX002D, but pressed due to popular demand - is a refreshing journey into a lighter and atmospheric dubstep style, reminiscent in mood of Scuba or Martyn, with a dynamic bouncy drum pattern delivering the perfect groove for the heavy bassline to ride on while the sweet string melody leads from the front. Essential purchase for anyone

  seeking out new directions in bass-driven dancefloor electronics.



  The digital version of this EP (ARX004D) features an exclusive track : 'Harmful', a delicious blend of pop and glitched-up Dubstep, balanced between a narrative voice performance and funky bass synths. This track sounds like LaRoux' pop music meeting Vaccine's lush, aerial and melancolic works.

ARX004D - NEKOCHAN - Harmful (digital exclusive)

Airflex Labs is proud to provide you with a hot and eagerly expected first 12" by the Belgian dancefloor wizards named GoldFFinch, backed up with a brilliant remix by amazingly creative young blood producer from Lyon, France Jay Weed, one of Dj Oneman's best pick on his 502 imprint.

From the dark woods of Brussels emerges a new sound that brings together the best of the German minimal sound, the funkiest of the first Detroit techno wave and the cutting edge music production of the 22nd century. GoldFFinch first sent out a four track ep to a select few, and immediately got picked up by a large number of high profile artists and labels around the world. Some of the scene's biggest artists are on their case heavily, like Loefah, Boddika, 2562, Trusta, Joy O, Synkro, Mary Anne Hobbs and Benny Ill to name a few. The guys have already been asked to perform in front of thousands at internationally renowned Dour Festival and a lot of hot venues.

Promos, itw, guest mixes available. email opti@airflexlabs.com

Available Late October on 12" and digital.

Mastered by Jason @ Transition / Distribution by Cargo Records UK.

Naulot, music as a visual manifestation, sound as a picture.
The notes coming from this young Lyon producer are irrigated by the graphical possibilities and the optical forces striking down his retina.
Leave, his first EP forthcoming in March 2013, will, with his ambient kinetic techno and atmospherical vivration, complete this singular reunion between the idea and the reflection, the rythm and the relics, the accoustic wave and the daydream.
A new form of visual and auditive mnemosis.
--
I chose to remix Birds because of the nice contrast the track features between high harmonies and steady drum patterns. I plugged a lot of my analog effects to remix the original elements, hence the "Daisy Chain Rework" name.
The original track you'll be able to buy soon from BEBUP is really exciting, just like the whole EP that will be fully featured with a lot of nice remixes.
Enjoy.
