Melbourne’s jazz and soul scene has drawn some well-deserved international attention recently, so we’re happy to fan this worthy musical flame by premiering an upcoming digital single and the fourth release of Melburnian label, La Sape. Brisbane’s James Wright Trio has prepared a 12” EP for the label, so, as a warm-up of sorts for that release, La Sape headhunted rising Melbourne musician Horatio Luna to remix some 2017 demos of James Wright Trio’s track, Pieces.

And those with a special affinity with jazz-house blends could do themselves a big favor by sifting through Horatio Luna’s nascent but promising discography. He’s the bassist of jazz-heavyweights, 30/70 (whose music we’ve premiered before), and has, apparently, been honing his production skills.

So it’s no surprise this seven-minute remix exudes musical dynamism. It morphs from an archetypal jazz loop of splashy cymbals and a stuttered chord progression of moody keys to frantic drums and flurried keys of a much lighter, dreamier kind. Yet it all sounds like one, cohesive piece of music. The continual threads throughout the track are the live-recorded drum samples (courtesy of drummer and bandleader, James Wright) and Danika Smith’s captivating, echoed vocals that loop over and over again to blanket the song with an alluring and almost psychedelic veneer.

This song is like a makeshift raft: it’s a little bit rough, made of parts that fit surprisingly well together, and will probably make you float for a few minutes.

Keep an eye out for SAPE004, releasing soon.

PREMIERE: James Wright Trio - Pieces ft. Danika Smith (Horatio Luna Remix)

Among many other things, Vera Sola is a poet, composer, Harvard literature scholar, and – of course – a songwriter. Although she’d written her own material over the years, it wasn’t until last year that she shared her music with another living soul. After serving as a touring member with Elvis Perkins’ band, Sola holed herself up in Native Sound Studio in St. Louis to record her songs for the first time ever, resulting in her debut album Shades, which she’ll self-release on Nov. 9. In the spirit of found object art, Sola used everything from bones to glass and filing cabinets to flesh out the folk arrangements she was creating.

The original version of the album’s single “The Colony” features Sola crooning with a vicious vibrato over brooding instrumentation that feels like it could’ve come from a long-lost spaghetti western classic. Sola was inspired to write the song after witnessing the native water protectors at Standing Rock, singing from the perspective of colonizers venturing to what’s now known as North America and claiming, defiling the land. The clatter of the rhythms and Sola’s merciless perspective of white colonialism is powerful in itself, but now the song has found itself diving even deeper into darkness.

Zola Jesus’ take on “The Colony” embraces the sinister edge stewing in Sola’s original song, unearthing swells of distorted bass drums and turning Sola’s voice into a ghostly haze. The pulse of the rhythms rattles viciously, shaking wildly alongside Sola herself. It creates a tension that’s drawn out throughout the entirety of the song, finally opening up to a clamor of beats erupting near the end. It’s hard to think of an artist more adept at breaking apart Sola’s already stirring work – performing a musical biopsy that stays true to the original’s core while and opening up new aural paths to the spirit of Sola’s work.

In what has been an incredibly successful 2018 for Jon Hopkins; from the release of his critically acclaimed album, 'Singularity', to sold-out worldwide touring, today Hopkins is happy to share a heavy-hitting remix of the album’s title track by ANNA - one of techno’s most captivating and in-demand new producers.

After cutting her teeth in clubs around Sao Paolo from the age of 14, ANNA has slowly risen to be one of the scene’s most respected names, with releases on the likes of Kompakt and NovaMute, along with support from Sven Väth, Marcel Dettmann and Richie Hawtin to name a few.

Building on the original track, the 'Singularity' remix blends rugged techno and transcendent electronics, which mirrors the pinnacle of the album’s motion, delivering a claustrophobic yet uplifting energy. Arguably one of ANNA’s strongest releases to date.

ANNA’s remix of ‘Singularity’ drops on Domino on Friday 16th November.

Tronik Youth (head honcho of @neinrecords) continues his exploration of the dark side of electronic music on @Controlla , starting with title track 'Obey Your Dom' which channels the EBM sound of the 80's and turns it into a metallic dance-floor bomb. Whilst the other original  'Entro-Venus' is a more modern techno cut with chaotic reverbs of sexual cries inspired by many a night in a certain German Club.

The remix package features Berlin-based queer techno activist La Fraicheur, plus Mexican peers Ricardo Rubén, Ali X, Ximena & Palomo who head the label, Alisu and @AlveeMx. The latter sculpting Obey your Dom into a beast of a track that stands out for its finesse and dark charm.

Release Date - 30/11/18

I love Brecon's first mini album release, so I wanted to get involved with the remixes, but it wasn't an easy job, they seem to have constructed their music in an extremely efficient and effective manner where everything is optimised and used at it's best, with nothing extra added, if you know what I mean when you hear it! So for that reason I stuck relatively closely to their original track, and just tried to add some of my own flavour to the mix, which in practice meant lots of live jamming with my Prophet and playing around with percussion detailing, along with a new drum pattern and arrangement, and, of course, some enveloping chords.

Throwing Snow returns to iconic UK imprint Houndstooth this month with his first LP since 2017's 'Embers'.

Titled 'Loma', the new release is inspired by the genres that have made an impact on him throughout his career, with nods to jungle, breakbeat, techno and more heard throughout the release. 

Compiling all eight cuts from his four-part EP series together on the LP, the new album will see the tracks pressed on vinyl for the very first time. 'Loma' also features a very special closing cut from Octo Octa which we are delighted to premiere today.

Coming in at a mighty 11 minutes, Octo Octa’s extended remix is a distinct alternative to the OG cut, shifting from a screw face-worthy stepper into dazzling 'floor filler with ease.

Throwing Snows ‘Loma’ LP lands November 30 on Houndstooth. Tune into closing cut ‘Simmer’ (Octo Octa’s Bring Forth Peace From Pain Remix) now and pre-order the album below.
