Haunting, ethereal, emotive, propulsive Guy Gerber and Diddy’s long-awaited collaborative album project 11 11 will at last be revealed to the public for free this Summer...Beginning with a preview of their track My Heart.

At once a meeting of two worlds, and yet also a dismissal of those signifiers, 11 11 inverts the recent dialogue between the worlds of hip-hop and electronic music, eschewing simple radio friendly factory fare, for darker, richer, deeper soundscapes. 11 11 is not a project aimed at main-stages and masses, but outliers and after-hours.

Copy Paste Soul returns with a new EP on his newly relaunched 2Swords imprint this August, entitled ‘The Fall’ and backed with a remix from house legend Laurent Garnier.

Rising artist Copy Paste Soul has been receiving huge support on his material over the past few years, striking chords with the BBC Radio 1 elite including Pete Tong, Annie Mac, B Traits and Skream, with his infectiously warm and intelligent compositions. He relaunched the 2Swords imprint with ‘Like This’ in June 2014, picking up wide support in the lead up from many heavy hitting names in the world of underground electronic music, namely Art Department, Huxley, Ewan Pearson and Kate Simko to name but a few.

Here we see Copy Paste Soul open up this new release with the re-release of title cut ‘The Fall’, a contemporary house cut fuelled by loose, bumpy rhythms and low-pitched vocal licks, while classic rave style stab sequences, a wandering bass hook and tension building string melodies add a retro charm to the feel of the record. Once again we’re treated to stylish and understated work from Copy Paste Soul.

Following is a second original from the budding producer, entitled ‘The Reverend’, this time embracing a jazz tinged aesthetic with meandering piano licks, preachy vocal lines and natural rhythms, while a hypnotising, elongated bass hook puts a unique spin on things to generate a distinctive and idiosyncratic piece.

The package is then rounded off with a remix from French legend Laurent Garnier, who reshapes ‘The Fall’ into
an elegant groove-led number, Laurent’s been a huge fan of Copy Paste Soul’s material since the project was
launched, and the fact he only offers remixes for one in return stands as testament to their relationship and love for each others music. Garnier lays his interpretation out over nine minutes with an ever-blossoming, dynamic feel, extracting snippets from the original and remoulding them with his signature deep and engrossing style.

Copy Paste Soul’s ‘The Fall’ is out on 2Swords 25th August 2014.

Michna's "Increasing Ambition" is taken from the Hohokum Soundtrack out August 12 as a 22-song digital compilation and on October 28 as a rainbow-colored 12” vinyl sampler featuring seven special cuts.

Hohokum is a distinct creative collaboration between artist Richard Hogg and Honeyslug, a London-based game studio. The vibrantly whimsical game emphasizes exploration and creativity with a playful touch. With the vision to create an experience free of typical video games pressures, Honeyslug delivers inspiring and unique gameplay in Hohokum.

Players take on the role of a flying, Technicolor being, like a curious kite. Travelling through the colorful world, players can uncover secrets by interacting with elements around them in different ways—such as carrying characters to new areas on their back or flying over objects to illuminate them. Hohokum is full of surprise; even running into certain objects can be its own reward, as the interaction produces music or effects which add to the level’s soundtrack. From the way a player navigates the world to how characters can communicate to the vividly abstract artwork, Hohokum is an expressive and mesmerizing universe. While there are goals, secrets, and trophies discovered along the way, at its heart, Hohokum is a playground—a place to wander about and get lost in.

The music of Hohokum mirrors the game’s eclectic and detailed landscape, with a wide selection of Ghostly artists contributing their songs. Between musicians and producers like Tycho, Shigeto, Matthew Dear, and Com Truise, the soundtrack is a fully realized exhibition of contemporary electronic sounds. Hohokum Soundtrack arrives on August 12 as a 22-song digital compilation and on October 28 as a rainbow-colored 12” vinyl sampler featuring seven special cuts.

A dance music auteur with a decade-spanning career under his belt, MACEO PLEX is a man with many faces, having successfully rebranded global floors since the early noughties under various monickers, including his well-known Maetrik guise. But with power comes responsibility, as they say, and if there's one producer constantly hitting the right balance between underground antics and overground charade, it's the US-bred, Barcelona-based artist. A case in point would be future prime time banger CONJURE SUPERSTAR, a critical, yet highly danceable reading of current DJ hypes.

MACEO PLEX's latest cut is released exclusively by Kompakt and continues our collaboration with the internationally renowned beatsmith after his best-selling remix for GUSGUS' CROSSF ADE (KOMPAKT DIGITAL 040). Equally kinetic and vigorous, CONJURE SUPERST AR is a floor charmer of the highest order, sparkling with powerful sound minutiae while heading for the kind of melodic epicness that should for ever be announced with synth fanfares, starting now. It's also an integral part of the producer's ongoing "Conjure" series of releases, where he screens contemporary club culture for its creative (and human) pitfalls, stating his concern via the finely honed means of an accomplished studio magician and revered crowd favorite.

TOK - GET MAD (RAW)

To launch Character, Deetron and fellow Swiss dynamo Ripperton have teamed up under their rarely seen Roots Panorama alias to carve out two dancefloor focused cuts with very different attitudes. 

The 'Mars' EP is the product of what can only be described as an epic jamming session and both producers have created contrasting remixes that are sure to set nightclubs and warehouses alight.

Deetron's 'Panorama Version' is the sun-drenched and synth-laden opener, one that's perfect for setting the tone of an evening or bringing it to a close whereas Ripperton's 'Roots Version' is a far darker and more steely cut which incorporates a jagged arpeggio that's set to stun.
