Glare of Aurora Polaris #2707

Dive into a track standing in between the progressive and trance genres, featuring a lush yet cinematic break. Inspired by the unique sound of Vangelis.

Spinner Pursuit

Following on from their recent album on Italian imprint Just This, Hunter/Game present the Silence Remixes out June 7th, featuring contributions from Radio Slave, Inland and Jamaica Suk amongst others.

Silence is a spiralling voyage into the depths of blissful ambience and meditative techno from Milan-based duo Hunter/Game. Arriving after a series of acclaimed EPs on the same label, it is an aesthetic statement of intent, carving out serene spaces of melancholy and upliftment.

For the remixes EP, a carefully chosen selection of artists provide varying interpretations of stand-out tracks from the album. Radio Slave turns ‘Dead Soul’ into a marching ground of melodic techno, whilst Inland breathes robotic life into ‘Crashed Sounds’ and Wrong Assessment levitate ‘Fragments’ over murky waters. Closing off the vinyl is Jamaica Suk’s ominous restructuring of ‘Reaction’.

Owners of the digital release will receive three further remixes. Vessels turns ‘Evolution’ into a broken dreamscape of stepping percussion, whilst Just This affiliate Scissors forges a stripped back, tripped out version of ‘Memories’. Also featured digitally is a second version of Jamaica Suk’s ‘Reaction’ remix.

Hunter/Game - Dead Soul (Radio Slave Remix)

Maceo Plex’s taste-making Ellum Audio serves up a sizzling EP from Madben, featureing a remix from men of the moment Brame & Hamo.

Frenchman Madben has a healthy reverence for Jeff Mils and Detroit techno that infuses all his work. He has been mentored by Laurent Garnier and released on a wealth of quality labels from Bedrock to Suara. A resident of the Rex Club in Paris where he puts on his MAAD parties, he is now a regular in the best clubs around Europe where he serves up his always profound sounds, something he does again here.

First up is the fantastic ‘Blooming’, with its old school rave styles and dusty breakbeats. Euphoric chords light up the whole thing and it’s a tune that is sure to get hands in the air.

Brame & Hamo are Irish sensations who are based in Berlin and known for big tunes that range from house to techno to disco. After establishing their own label they step out with a remix that is superbly stripped back. On deep rolling drums, sleek synths unfold and take you on a cosmic adventure that is well paced and cinematic.

Madben’s ‘Enjoy Yourself' is well-crafted techno with a sense of progression in the ever-evolving lead synths. Rumbling drums provide the power below and filtered, whispered vocals are an intriguing detail up top. 

Last of all, ‘Haze’ is a prickly track with snappy mental drums, off kilter synths that twist and turn and a dark energy that is tinged with industrialism.

This is a fresh techno offering that comes with plenty of new ideas that are all expertly executed.

Tracklist:
01. Cornucopia - River of Memories (Original Mix)
02. Cornucopia - Holding You Tight When The World Collapses (Original Mix)
03. Cornucopia - Orion (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
microcastle begins 2020 by welcoming Cornucopia back to the label for a new EP. The mysterious artist makes a much-anticipated follow-up to the July 2018 release ‘Forever Gone’. The three-track offering saw a wide spectrum of play and support from some of the underground’s top tastemakers in Adam Port, Ame, Baikal, Dixon, Frankey & Sandrino, Guy J, Jimi Jools, Laurent Garnier, Luca Bacchetti, Patrice Baumel and Solomun. With a release on Multinotes to highlight 2019, Cornucopia now lands back on microcastle with ‘River of Memories’ to begin the new year. 

Elusive and organic in equal measure, the transcendent nature of Cornucopia has the rare ability to unite a cross section of music lovers. The romantic sounds of ‘River of Memories’ sits as perhaps the most apt illustration, invoking a rare combination of hope, heartache, reflection and meditation across it’s eleven-minute storyboard. Shrouded in mystery for nearly three years after countless live airings, it’s the pensive nature of ‘Holding You Tight When The World Collapses’ that follows. Rich in tone and texture, there is also a keen emphasis on rhythm and groove, as exotic drums and low-slung basslines marry fragmented melodies and wispy atmospherics, creating just the right balance of tension and emotion before melting down into the timeless sensibilities and metallic clusters of the EPs closer ‘Orion’. Classy and refined, it rounds out another elusive chapter in Cornucopia’s unique musical history, continuing the artist’s love for intriguing melodic concepts, while already finding a place in the playlists of the worlds most astute DJs.

Cascade

Stepping up next on the prolific Last Night On Earth label is rising Mexican talent Issac. Having been supported in the past by label founder Sasha, Guy Gerber and Dixon (to name just a few), it’s no surprise to see his hypnotic dancefloor tracks being released on LNOE. 
 
Issac begins the EP with ‘Clavel’, a percussive, driving track where stripped-back drum sounds combine their elegant pulses to form a complexity of entrancing polyrhythms. Crisp, rolling 909 Toms bring a sense of melody with their powerful tones while contrasting against shimmering ride cymbals and a firm, floor-filling kick drum. Before long, the expanse of drums breaks away for a truly euphoric uplift of oscillating synths and heroic vocal pads, forming a momentous drop, somewhere between classic trance and hard-hitting techno. 
 
‘It’s An Extreme Life’ delivers more complex rhythms, where layers of recurrent guitar scratches congregate amongst twinkling bell sounds and trippy, glitched-out drum tops. The ten-minute composition builds gradually up to a minimalistic breakdown that exposes the harmonic rhythms of the track’s epicentre. 
 
Issac closes the record with ‘Rimel’, a fusion of acid-house era drum machines (like the infamous Roland TR-727 congas), blend amongst the nip-tuck-tight pulse of driving 4/4 kicks and swaying shaker loops. Fusing in anthemic synth lead lines and massive, echoing chord stabs, ‘Rimel’ closes the record with true harmonic bliss.

With two absolute dancefloor-destroying tracks, this is by far Chipi's hardest EP to date. After 4 successfull releases on Suara last year Chipi is back on his own label with 2 A-side track EP.  "Revenge of synth" is reminiscent of 90's rave scene riff, with clever use of mono synths as a bassline that ride along with the 909 techno groove.

V/A – Drumcode A-Sides Vol. 9
Cat no. DC223
Label: Drumcode
Release date: 27 April, 2020

In a brief interview around his latest Drumcode release, Oscar L explains how "When I started producing 'Dark Fate' I wanted to try something techno and groovy. I got inspired by the original soundtrack movie from ‘Terminator' and actually this is where the title of the track is coming from. I think 'Dark Fate' is a strong weapon for DJs to get the crowd into the techno mood without hitting too hard".

If you want a snapshot of where techno stands in any given year, and a preview of where it’s headed, look no further than Drumcode’s A-Sides compilation. Since 2012 it has marked the label debuts of countless vital Drumcode artists and affiliates, from Layton Giordani, Wehbba and Boxia, to Amelie Lens and ANNA, no less. Every year, new names are unearthed, tried and true techno contributors serve up their best, and icons of the industry land their debut on Adam Beyer’s storied label.

The 2020 edition hits with 13 tracks, eight coming from label debutants. There’s Eats Everything searing rave bomb ‘Organico’ and Dubfire’s ice-cool electro offering ‘Deadbug’, both artists landing their maiden contributions to DC after long affiliations with Beyer. With three EPs in less than two years on Truesoul, Oscar L steps up to DC, showing the breadth of his sound palette with a soaring, synth-laden gem ‘Dark Fate’. Belgians Joyhauser featured at last year’s Drumcode Festival paving the way for ‘Fierceness’, a beautiful melody-drenched cut befitting their DC cap. Anfisa Letyago is another first timer and shows why she’s one of the scene’s most highly touted new artists with the brooding beast ‘Are You In’. A growing label favourite, Juliet Fox follows up ‘Was Beautiful’, her superb track on last year’s A-Sides, with ‘Our Fantasy’, reinforcing her skill for crafting anthemic techno compositions. Victor Ruiz & Thomas Schumacher link and the result is ‘Intuit’, a sleek futuristic roller that hits you square between the eyes. Other highlights come from longtime Drumcode cohorts Reset Robot and Harvey McKay, who both dish up premium works, reinforcing their classy productions nous.

PREMIERE: Alejandro Mosso - Cascabel [Do Not Sit On The Furniture]

Mister Olivier Giacomotto has marked his debut on Eleatics with his 'Dance Alone' remix, which has become one of the most recognizable tracks from our catalogue last year.
There is enough information so far about Olivier - in-demand producer and remixer, who has been keeping his sound fresh and actual for more than 15 years with the releases on his own Definite Recordings, Noir Music, Stil Vor Talent and Senso Sounds as from the few to speak about.
This time we welcome French maestro for his debut full 'Barbak' EP on Eleatics.
The main title 'Barbak' track is neatly and masterfully produced unit, being explosive enough to be the epicentre of any set.
While hypnotic and melodic 'Kabrab' is embracing the best of what we like in the union of melodies and intense atmosphere of house & techno: sharply emerging leads alongside the mystic vocals and aggressive growling low sounds immediately gave that special feeling we wanted to share with you.
Take those tracks with you, wherever you may be.
We set no boundaries, you clearly now that.

The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes Starkato back to the label for a new EP. The German artist has found a comfortable home on the Greek imprint with this being his ninth appearance. Also laying claim to releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Beatfreak and ICONYC, the Wiesbaden resident remains an in-demand talent across the melodic techno landscape. Having most recently collaborated with Movement boss Tash on 'SQR', Starkato now makes a welcome return to the label with 'Sunspots' alongside a remix from D-Nox and K.A.L.I.L.
Spread across four tracks it's the progressive techno crossover sound of the title track which leads the EP off. Dark and punchy from the outset it's robust low end and crisp stabs make an immediate impact, while driving percussion and luminous arps fill in the framework. Smooth chord changes and poignant overlays advance the narrative into emotive territory, before becoming fully realized during the main break and fiery finale. Continuing with 'Python' Starkato follows a similar sonic ethos with a tough, arp driven slice of cosmic techno. Once again, a series of emotive swells off sets its crunchy drive and piercing effects for a perfect balance of colour and texture. The third and final original 'Kneel' follows suit with more of an esoteric narrative. It's backbone of punchy beats creates a big presence as buzzing synths and striking tonal design fully saturate your senses. Building with a veteran's savvy it's granular lines eventually open up, inviting you to a more emotive lean on the piece while an astral arp adds just the right cosmic vibe for a stellar final act.
The lone interpretation of 'Sunspots' is provided by D-Nox and K.A.L.I.L who have been occasional studio partners in recent years. Their collaborative efforts for Balance Music, Beat Boutique, Parquet Recordings and Stil Vor Talent have all been exceptional. Now landing on Movement Recordings D-Nox and K.A.L.I.L provide a stunning rendition of 'Sunspots'. Taking a cue from the original the duo maintains the tough foundation while expanding on the rhythmic narrative for what results in a sure-fire peak time bomb. Flurries of exotic drums, ghostly vocal phrases, and a deadly stab work in perfect unison, while rising atmospheres make for an unforgettable finale. A massive remix from D-Nox and K.A.L.I.L which rounds out a top notch offering from Tash's Movement Recordings once again.

Arude and Tantum 14 Fakts Interview: https://www.tokamusik.com/arude-tantum-interview

For catalog number 15, Radikon welcomes an unlikely duo hailing from Germany and Ukraine. Arude and Tantum contribute ‘Glare’, a bright two-tracker that conjures feelings of airiness and hits where it matters.

The title track unleashes a cascade of luminescent synths and arpeggios with unparallelled clarity and purpose. A compelling lead theme sets a repetitive mantra that modulates and morphs endlessly, drawing the listener deeper into the the young producers’ compelling soundscape, while retaining the minimalism and energy of a true dancefloor weapon.

With ‘Glare’, Arude and Tantum join the Radikon ranks with a bang. With masterful production and compelling themes that beg repeat, ‘Glare’ ticks all the right boxes.
