Pentatones - Glowing (Marek Hemmann Remix)

Vinyl: bit.ly/2ruN381
Digital: bit.ly/2s4njy6

Italo-cosmonauts Marvin & Guy board Life and Death with Superior Conjunction. 
 
Alessandro Parlatore and Marcello Giordani’s four-tracker explores parallel worlds through expert synthesizer sequencing and cavernous vocal features. Celestial melodies paired with Athena’s stream of consciousness Italian recital guarantees Superior Conjunction’s dance floor devastation. 
 
Arpadia’s hypnotic theme compliments the title track’s restrained drama, while the Fantastic Twins’ spoken-word elevates The Train of Fantastic to an altered state of being. 
 
The EP is out on June 16th, right on time for this year’s Life and Death OFF Sonar event in Barcelona.

Berlin duo The/Das are to release their sophomore album, Exit Strategies, on Life And Death in September 2017, with a first EP from it, ›Drug Dilling‹, coming in July. The absorbing 12-tracker is the result of a period of searching that finds the new line-up of Fabian Fenk and Philipp Koller combine multiple ideas, layers, fragments and sounds and refine their distinct idea of techno tenderness. It makes for a soothing and escapist 60 minute listen that works as well at home, on headphones, as it does loud in the club.

Premiere: Tale Of Us & Vaal - Monument (Adriatique Remix)

Tale Of Us present a new collaboration with Vaal for the sixth release on their Afterlife label. Three years after they teamed up for ‘Concur’ and began to tour together, the trio return with their most anthemic offering yet. Vaal’s hauntingly-beautiful and instantly-recognisable vocals are the centre-piece on ‘Monument’, building on the style of her Wander To Hell EP (AL002). The drums and shimmering synth lines are moody and uplifting in the way Tale Of Us have made their own, arranged perfectly for the psychedelic breakthrough.

On the flip side, ‘The Hangar’ takes a different approach to equally devastating effect. It pumps with added urgency and a thunderous, steely bassline lunges out from the low-end. Designed for large soundsystems and big rooms, ‘The Hangar’ finds Tale Of Us and Vaal at their most direct and it’s something to behold.

Barnt and Stephan Bodzin, two artists whose stand-out performances at recent Afterlife events have made them firm favourites with the crowds, are tapped for the remixes (AL007). They both take on ‘Monument’, Barnt opting for a rolling, percussive direction and Bodzin more ethereal and transportive.

Ian O'Donovan is an Irish based producer whose music has featured on a wide range of labels ranging from Drumcode and Tronic to Planet E and Kevin Saunderson’s KMS.

Having already proved himself a rising star, Ian O'Donovan’s trademark sound combines uplifting melodies and tribal rhythms with timeless techno grooves.

This stunning three track release is Ian O'Donovan’s third release on Intec, and showcases why he is an artist popular with everyone from John Digweed to Dave Clarke.

The first track “Voodoo Doll” has a tribal groove provided by congas and a looped vocal chant. Building with tension as the bassline's held notation swells and grows ever more prominent, this powerful track packs a punch and fuses classic techno with contemporary sound design.

Track two titled “Hardline” is spacious with a haunting melody and shimmering, eerie pads that combined with muffled vocals, create a spooky atmosphere. Carried home by the hammer of the pounding kick drum, this dark track is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Finishing off the release is “Suspicion” which has an uplifting melody and pulsating stabs, that when blended with robotic synths, give the track a sci-fi feel. Snare rolls and dramatic vocals spoken in whisper add to the tracks already epic sound, and complete the melodic techno groove.

OUT NOW! '10 Years of SCI+TEC' ➔ scitec.lnk.to/10YearsOfSCITEC

A decade deep into its ongoing investigations, documenting and pushing the sonic frisson and fusion between science and technology, SCI+TEC remain at the very forefront of electronic music.

Its feet firmly on the dance floor, its spirit deep inside the machines, its sights set on the future; from day one Dubfire’s label has continuously forged its own deep furrow. With breakthrough Dubfire releases such as ‘Roadkill’ and ‘RibCage’ SCI+TEC has managed to create a whole new framework for 21st century techno. All the while SCI+TEC has consistently championed and encouraged new and unsung talent from around the world, amplifying legions of rising names; Carlo Lio, Davide Squillace, Paul Ritch, SHADED, The Junkies, Johnny Trika, Alex Mine and countless more include SCI+TEC releases in their rich histories.

This precision balance of stark sonic signature, technical ideology and nurturing new ideas along with talent, has led to SCI+TEC’s perpetual momentum into every house and techno DJ’s playlists for the past 10 years. Be it the label’s penchant for deep, undulating subby grooves, or its passion for warehouse-razing thunder-powered techno, the SCI+TEC sound covers every corner of the floor and every chapter of the night; as proven by the label’s many world tours under the guidance of lead curator and techno innovator, Dubfire. And proved once again by this fittingly stacked anniversary album.

10 brand new, unreleased tracks to celebrate 10 years from 10 of the label’s most exciting artists, every track brings home the SCI+TEC message: The breath-taking atmospheres of Alex Mine’s album scene-setter ‘In The Name Of What’; Wigbert’s detailed drum momentum on ‘Multiclock’; the soulful allure of Carlo Lio’s ‘Because Of You’; the hazy slow-burning groove smoulders of Hector & David Gtronic’s ‘Saki’; Raul Facio’s subversion of Dubfire’s early rising turbine tension on ‘Malo’; the eerie juxtaposition of acidic icicles and groaning elephantine bass on Rosper’s ‘Revenge’; Shaded’s alien up-pitched funk on ‘Crayzy’; the soaring synths and cosmic undertones of Johnny Trika’s ‘One Rainy Wish’ and the pulverising kickdrum and funk of Mr Bizz’s ‘Blue Velvet… Not to mention the deep, hypnotic swing of Dubfire’s restrained and dubbed-out groove ‘Swerve’.

Each track an odyssey in itself, they complement and tessellate to reveal a much wider vision of the past, present and, most importantly, the future. Consistently rooted but constantly rising; this album isn’t celebrating the last 10 years of SCI+TEC… It’s setting us up for the next 10 years to come.

Hot on the heels of their celebrated album Beach Goths and after offering-up Paratrooper as part of DJ Tennis’ recent DJ-Kicks, Israeli genre-defying duo Red Axes arrive on Life and Death with an original EP.

Sami is a post-Moondog shamanic tribal trip, while Round combines dilapidated future Goa electronics with just the right amount of cowbell and guitar psych. Vego Gam is lo-fi Spaghetti Western, full of tape delay and amplifier sauce, while Pulse waves and wind chimes ring Russian bells on the title track, Kalacol - a mind-melding dancefloor gem.

A record that could only come from Niv and Dori - another reconfiguration of the Life and Death mausoleum.

After nearly half a decade since their monumental ‘Make It Good’, DJ Tennis and Fink re-collide on !K7. The Certain Angles 12”, to be released on 13 October, includes an exclusive club mix by DJ Tennis. 

Inspired, recent studio sessions have bore two breathing, sonic landscapes, entitled ‘Certain Angles’. Glimmering pianos, droning machines and captivating song writing take form, wrapping the Berlin-based singer’s voice in subtle melancholy. Both humbly understated, yet party-ready, ‘Certain Angles’ perfectly summarises the Life and Death founder’s recent etching in the DJ-Kicks stone. 

DJ Tennis has also called on four of his most trusted allies to reinterpret the single, with four digital-only remixes: The/Das deliver a pensive moment of bubbling body music; Francesco Leali appears with a timeless, genre-bending re-perception as OPUS 3000; Lee Jones salutes the faithful dancers, while Mentrix’ unclassifiable excursion challenges the towering borders of Techno. The 'Certain Angles (Remixes)’ digital EP will be released on 27 October.

Rising Dutch talent Deniro (aka Reynier Hooft van Huijsduijnen) returns to трип with a double EP of original works. The Tape Records member previously appeared on the label as part of the concept albums.

‘Mendoza’ is an 8-track quest into the spheres of polarity and tension. Anxious distortions jitter in controlled spaces, angular melodies disfigure warm tones and frenetic cross rhythms flutter through minimalist forms. Contrasting messages are weaved together with precision to facilitate a dialogue where dancefloor function and cerebral stimulation interact.

Deniro navigates his way round vintage gear with a meticulous accuracy, held together by an intuitive ear for timbre, an ingrained passion for Detroit soul, and a firm understanding of sonic balance.

"Deniro is able to transmit emotion in his music like no other. His soft spoken live cuts are sparse and trippy and you can always feel that it’s Reynier behind them” - Nina Kraviz

Deniro - Don Dino

Sasha has been hard at work in the studio, spurred on by overwhelming audience response to his audacious new venture, and his new track 'True’ drops on Late Night Tales on 13th October . Featuring London-based band Dems’ haunting vocals, the emotive style echoes the shimmering soundscapes of Scene Delete, infused with the innovative flair of a musician currently at the top of his creative game.

‘I’ve been really excited about this record for some time,’ Sasha says. ‘When we originally got the vocal back from Dems I instantly knew it was something special. We just needed to find the right project for it. I’m looking forward to it being part of the new show along with a lot of new material.’
