FROZEN GROUND by SØMÄR NÔMAR redefines melodic vocal house with high-fidelity production, where ethereal textures and enveloping pads merge with a solid rhythm section and crisp percussion. The warm, melancholic vocals become a floating mantra over layers of crystalline synthesizers, permeating the track's nocturnal atmosphere and evoking icy landscapes and profound emotions on the dance floor. The track balances vocal emotion with a progressive structure, ideal for opening or closing sets with an emotional and modern touch. MODUS VIVENDI RECORDS champions elegance and depth in this essential sonic journey for melodic house lovers.

Out on 'Beating Heart - South Africa Vol. 2', a 4 track EP featuring Auntie Flo, Subjective (Goldie's new project with JD from Ulterior Motive), Card on Spokes and The Happy Show.

Following the debut Malawi album​ last year, this next series of Beating Heart releases focuses on the vibrant sounds of South Africa, sampling field recordings made by Hugh Tracey back in the 1950s, with kind permission from the International Library of African Music.

Profits from the series will be used to support:​ the Women's Legal Centre, a group of female lawyers striving for gender equality across South Africa, particularly for black women, whose work has had a huge impact on the country's laws, and continues to do so; and the Access Music Project in Grahamstown where students will be able to learn production skills through remixing field recordings from the ILAM ​archive, learning about their heritage in the process.

Beating Heart will be performing​ summer festival takeovers at Glastonbury, Womad, Port Eliot, Boomtown, Obonjan (Croatia) and Secret Garden Party, with events in Malawi, South Africa and Uganda planned for the autumn.

Thanks to previous​ support, the 'Beating Heart - Malawi' album ​(Rudimental, Kidnap Kid, Clap! Clap!, Luke Vibert, Afriquoi & more) ​h​as​ funded the setting up of a sustainable school feeding program in Lilongwe, now feeding 450 kids once a day. More info at www.beatingheartproject.com

Time

The summer was beautiful and long, the orange sky radiated across the desert and the sand rolled deep into the distance upon the dunes. Travelling in the buggy they bounced about amidst the mist as the heat poured with a prominent force from the other worldy sky up above. It was as if they had touched down on Mars and were the first to explore the unchartered territory of a planet far away. Lost in the middle of nowhere they raced on with a vigorous speed...

Gustaaf is set to release a sun kissed EP on the newly launched Prongof108 label based in Berlin. Mysterious and intriguing this is a record packed with tropical enthusiasm and dancefloor delight.

LENG SHOP - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/5-2-9-the-fox-with-the-dog

Leng Records is kicking off its 2019 release program by offering a debut to a previously unheralded producer from Russia’s fast growing nu-disco underground. Given the quality of the two original tracks on show on his first Leng outing, something tells us that we’re going to be hearing much more from Moscow-based Takovoi in the months and years ahead.

On the A-side you’ll find “5-2-9”, an effortlessly dreamy and Balearic affair that ebbs, flows and slowly unfurls over six spellbinding minutes. The track is built around a chunky, acid style bassline and loose, delay-laden drum machine beats. Yet it’s the drifting and dubbed-out musical elements that cluster around the groove – leisurely keys, yearning trumpet solos and kaleidoscopic, arpeggio style synthesizer melodies – that make “5-2-9” such a magical piece of music. Think of it as a statement of intent.

Takovoi’s love of TB-303 style acid lines and mind-altering electronics comes to the fore on “The Fox With The Dog” which sees the up-and-coming producer give his take on the timeless electro sound. It’s as spacey and atmospheric as you’d expect, with exotic electronic refrains and glacial synthesizer lines dancing across the sound-space. The groove – a combination of punchy drum machine hits, heavy acid-style sub-bass, occasional bursts of hand percussion and breakbeats – is pleasingly heavy, too, making this particular electro excursion a bona fide dancefloor delight.

Johannes Klingebiel - 909 Dub

Bedroom Tapes is comprised solely of lost material from a recently discovered box of cassettes that emerged in the process of a house move. These tracks capture some of Paul Woolford’s most wide-eyed and naïve creative impulses at a tender age. 

Seemingly lost forever, some were part of sessions that led to him being signed to now-defunct UK techno imprint Blue Basique. This is the first chapter in this archive and an intimate portrait of the artist at a key stage of his creative development. 

The tracks have been carefully mastered with a loving hand by Matt Colton who has been meticulous to retain their idiosyncrasies. 

Released on 2xLP vinyl / CD / Cassette - Cut and mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis, manufactured at optimal media, Germany.

PREMIERE : Kubebe - Fanta

Artist: Dan Wainwright 
Remixer: Joe Morris
Title: Raindance
Label: Night Noise Music
Cat: NNM062
Genre: Indie Dance
Release Date: 05/06/2020
Buy Link: nightnoisemusic.bandcamp.com

UK talent Dan Wainwright drops ‘Rituals’, a three track offering of mutant disco sounds on Night Noise Music backed with a remix from Joe Morris, this June. With a catalogue that takes in edits for To Rack and Ruin and Creative Use as well as singles for the likes of Hungarian HotWax and Through God’s Own Eyes, Wainwright is steadily becoming a must-check for those who enjoy lower tempo nightclub sounds of a discoid nature and this EP, already given ALFOS approval by Sean Johnston, shows why.

Opening with the anthemic ‘Raindance’, a growling groover characterised with bright, evolving synth hooks and tight delays which culminates in balearic guitar bliss, Joe Morris’ Dubwise remix of ‘Rain Dance’ closes out the package in, as the title suggests, nifty dubbed out style.
