In the history of Connaisseur we can’t remember ever having had an upcoming release with such a massive buzz in advance. Eventhough Human Machine has only had one release up to now, their name and popularity are spreading impressively, mainly due to the enormous support by Dixon, Âme and Solomun for the title track “146", which they have hammered in almost every set in the past months.

Concerning the music, it is fascinating how such simply constructed tracks can have such an impact in the club. This is the secret of Human Machine.

While '146' is dominated by a massive and remarkable synth-line, drilling its way into your head so that you may never forget it again, the B1 title 'Drone' is more focussed on a deep hypnosis, combined with a very demanding work on the groove. 'Janus', the closing title is the most airy and atmospheric track on the “146” EP, a passionate journey with an unexpected twist.

Human Machine is the project of Mauro di Martino, better known under his moniker Musumeci, Francesco Sorrentino, Simone Carpenzano and Paolo Lauretta.

[cns078-6] Human Machine - 146 EP

The Coasts Of French Cornwall

Einmusika054 | THe WHite SHadow - Sunrise

Pumping basslines, deep and hypnotic synths, full power into the new season. It is THe WHite SHadow bringing some techno beats after these hot summer days. The dark and cold atmosphere is growing second by second and the sounds get rugged. Suddenly you are wishing that the nights will get longer again to celebrate fizzy electronic sounds like this.

“Sunset“ and “Sunrise“ letting you feel the power of drums and kicks in a clean version. “Lost Soul“ is more melodic and decorated with soft synths. The shaker is breathless and it seems like THe WHite SHadow collected all pent up emotions in that song. We have “Last“ sounding really metallic and unique. A lot of elements fighting against each other to end up in a magic break.

On top Dutch producer Olivier Weiter serves us a straight and uncompromising remix which will rock the dancefloor with it’s simple and catchy atmosphere. Welcome back in the club, we’ll guide you through the new season.

Sunrise will be out August 31st 2015

After having worked on many large commercial projects throughout 2015 with Sony Music and Universal Records, being nominated for several Juno Awards, winning the SOCAN Awards 2015 Dance Record of the Year, nominated for Sirius XM Radio Music Awards Dance Act of the Year, going Number 1 on the Billboards in 5 countries, and having a double platinum record of my own song ‘Goodbye’ feat. Islove, it was important for me to musically reach back to my underground house roots.  Getting lost in a sea of A&R’s and indecision-makers, and going through an entirely new process of commercial record writing - with session musicians, vocalists, lyricists etc. - it was the opposite world of writing that I made my records (and success) from many years ago.  I needed to take a break and get back to writing these instrumental pieces where the riffs ARE the vocal lines, and the vibe was a sort of hypnotic mysticism mixed with late night mind bending chasers. ‘Into The Deep’ is a celebration of forward thinking progressive house music - a dash of eccentric and brash synth melodies juxtaposed with bright uppity grand piano chords and warped out arpeggiations.  This is a cohesive body of music here and I wrote this all from around August of 2015 until October (around 3 months).  The first single EP from this album is called ‘Into The Deep’ and it has a very rich sound to it especially in the baseline.  I used a custom series 80 Neve console to get that wide character and the whole piece just really glued together with my mixing approach on this one.  I love the synths in the midsection and the texture to those sounds.  Perfect for late night dark room mash out venues.  On the B Side is ‘Bumblebee’ and that one is a Space Ibiza terrace early night kind of vibe - big room sound, tight percussion and groove, and huge analog synth swells.  I hope you enjoyed this EP as much as I did writing it and if you can give your feedback that helps me very much!

Thanks and hope you enjoy the release


Best,

Glenn

DJ Nukem & Chab - Shaiva (Guy J Remix)

2015 has @Ambassadeurs extremely busy with a slew of EPs and his debut album – “Patterns” released on Lost Tribe Records.

Now back in the studio recording his second album, Mark is dropping this EP in the interim to keep the fans sweet. He wrote these tracks during an escape in the autumn from the city to the countryside. The change of scenery from concrete to wilderness is reflected in the more organic sounds on this 4 tracker, which was written with the bare minimum of equipment to hand, even sampling some old cassettes that were left behind in the cottage where he was staying.

So while a simpler and more stripped back approach was adopted on this EP, it’s still distinctively his sound neatly executed to see a great year out.

ARTIST: Danito & Athina
TITLE: Fire EP
LABEL: Crossfrontier Audio
CAT #: cfa044
RELEASE DATE: 2016-01-25

Another year done and left to dust... so pacing into 2016, Crossfrontier Audio have been cooking up some releases with our artists for you. Taking us into the New Year are Danito & Athina, plus a special guest on the remix.
Facing up to the fans wanting more after hearing their track Hulu, a collaborative effort with Someone Outside on our 4 Years of Crossfrontier Audio, it was only right we got them onboard for a release. And with it, the Cologne based duo Danito & Athina have created a brand new EP that solemnly devours everything in its path, combining tantalizing build-ups, devilish break-downs and killer rhythm.
Full of electric moments that DJ’s and listeners alike don’t typically hear, Danito & Athina’s experience with slick production on lauded labels such as Suruba, Tenampa and Bunny Tiger shines through ever more so on their CFA debut, the Fire EP.
With each of the 3 original and exclusive tracks comes a powerful trip... far more potent than regular tracks on the market, and each uniquely designed to enter the listener into entropy. Whether it’s Fire the hair-raising starter that has been tearing up dance-floors... and you’ll understand why mere seconds into it, Waterman the extremely silky and sleek track on the EP that ventures into deeply hypnotic house, or Milkyway, the ethereal and rhythmic 4-to-the-floor cut that delivers high volumes of energy, the Fire EP has something for everyone.
Up on the remix and riding its secular synths, further harnessing the original of Fire is the notorious Beatport favourite himself - Martin Roth. Always choosing his remix work like an art-form, his productions balance what the DJ’s want as their secret weapon, with what makes the crowd jump to their phones for Shazam! His remix of Fire is nothing short of either, and dabbles in peak-time power.
The Fire EP is released on Crossfrontier Audio on the 25th January, just in time to kill the winter blues, for more information hit us up at contact@crossfrontier-audio.com.

Out now: CFA044 - Danito & Athina - Milkyway (Original Mix)


We are proud to present you our 45th release. For this release we have co-label founder https://soundcloud.com/lakeavalon back on the label with delivering 3 outstanding remixes of 3 previous released tracks on our label.

Jair van Kruijsdijk was born in Bogota, Colombia but moved to the Netherlands at a very young age. Jair is based in Amsterdam where he runs Click Records together with his partner, Stefano Richetta. When discovered the art of music Jair started to preform as a DJ and soon he got into music production. With launching his Shimmer alias he got signed and released on respected labels like Einmusika. Katermukke, Kittball, Parquet, Electronique, Kraftek, Toolroom and many more. All under his Shimmer alias.
But Jair moved forward and developed his style as both a DJ and producer. That's when he decided that he had to leave Shimmer as his artist name and go on with a new alias for his more deeper productions and DJ sets. That's where 'Lake Avalon' was born.
With having his Lake Avalon debut EP on Click Records just a few months ago he also released on German based Jeudi Records in the meantime. That 'Interstellar' release did great in the Beatport charts for weeks. Now he is back on the label with a new Remix EP.

Enjoy these 3 remixes for now and keep your eyes and ears open as Lake Avalon got lots of work coming.
