Intra Space

PREMIERE: Boulderhead - Intra Space (TR044)

The summer of 2020 was a memorable one, Duane Island - real name Dan Komanoff - was in Manhattan, back in his childhood bedroom. Days were long but he was mostly inside. The view from the room’s window was just another brick wall, although for a few moments a day, a bit of light would hit the portable studio where he would jam after work. His brother was around, too, so Dan enlisted him on keys. When their parents left for a weeklong vacation, the party began: they could jam louder and smoke inside.

Armed with a dropbox of disco breaks a friend had just ripped from his collection, Dan spent the week chopping 16 bar loops and writing bass lines under his brother's airy pad progressions. Italo gems dug from the annals of discogs had been the soundtrack of Dan's year so far, and the brothers used these sounds to transport themselves to that otherworldly lakeside scene that, save a few mixes and grainy photos, might never have existed at all. After a few hours of writing, Dan and his brother would take their jams to the roof to test them out in the open air and smoke some more. New ideas would float toward them from the other side of lower Manhattan, where the sun had just set, and they’d head back inside.

The result of these sessions is Solar Effect, three enormous and heartfelt club excursions. The title track, “Solar Effect”, twists in on itself like a trip peaking at noon, pairing squelching FM synth lines with airy piano chords to get hands in the air, feet off the ground, and heads in the clouds.

Leland kept finding new life. This second set of remixes moves the album into new directions. Matthew Herbert takes “Lostfound” apart and rebuilds it twice over, Black Light Smoke lights a fire under it with restless sounds and Steve Bug changing it into a deep tune.

The lagoon was beautiful and isolated, he looked down from atop a cliff face at the shallow pool below. Soon he would bathe in the dense blue waters and swim in the warmth of the ocean. He began to make his way down the dusty old footpath into what he would describe as paradise bay. To the locals it was known as Casa Iguana but to him it was simply a little piece of heaven, a place he would hold dear to his heart until the day he dropped dead. There was not a single soul around, nobody else but him on earth in this moment. He began to swim...

Abduel Raeva is the moniker behind a special new collab which has delivered a collection of spacey house and trance on Dance All Day Records. A great all round release with a big euphoric heart.

B2: Eternal September

Outfitted with anthemic romps, tongue-in-cheek pastiches, and percussions that pivot from rolling adventures to rain hitting the windowpane, Intimacy’s “Across the Bridge” marks the artist’s fifth release on vinyl and first release on Bouquet. A grab bag of fun, dancefloor-ready tracks written across 2019, the EP delivers his aesthetic of old computers, sci-fi movies, and science class educational videos configured into deep, spacey line-toting bedroom techno and melancholic house.

The title track features a catchy electroclash-esque (!!!) saw wave bassline, complete with emo Roland D50 strings and bells, all laid over a very beefy electro beat. It crossbreeds a Drexciya strain of low-end thump with a chewy, Eurotrash bassline evoking that time you lost your wallet at Tresor in '98. Strings and bells from the Roland D50 introduce the same euphoric high found in most of the products crawling out of Perdue's lab these days.

“Angelo’s Houz (D50 String Mix)” is a full-forced banger built around a well-traveled sample of Angelo Badalamenti's theme from Twin Peaks, recorded from an Intimacy live set early last year.

The flipside leads with the spiritual acid techno masterpiece “Datalore66”. Bubbling basslines hit a boiling point when placed in sequence with flutes showing genetic linkage to the Hartnoll family. Highly reactive material.

"Eternal September” opens a portal to the earliest hours of morning via synthesis of swirling pads and snapping drums. Closing the EP in introspective fashion, the track shows just how much emotional range Intimacy can pull out of decades-old disciplines.

Day by day, the memories of club nights gone by seem to be fading from our collective consciousness. The idea of being in a densely packed room with a pounding sound system feels like something we’ve been long removed from, both physically and culturally. Every once in a while though, something comes along that instantly transports you back to those simpler times. With an instantly recognisable sample and a relentless four-to-the-floor break, Liquid Crystals by Placid One on Gestalt Records does exactly that – combining a sense of dancefloor nostalgia with sublime production and an entrancing acid line that will stay with you well after the needle leaves the record.

Placid One is no stranger to atmospheric breaks. Previous releases have seen him lend his hand to everything from gorgeous downtempo jams to jungle-inspired rave; genres that on paper seem worlds apart but that he is able to draw parallels between through his signature broken rhythms and sombre lead melodies. This release sits firmly between those two styles at a cool 134bpm – designed with the club in mind, whilst still holding enough emotional weight to warrant repeated listens in a home setting.

The track clocks in at just over 6 minutes and boasts a couple of tasteful breakdowns during this time. The uplifting synth line weaves in and out of the mix but never truly overstays its welcome, allowing the pounding percussion and morphing 303 line to dictate the energy and momentum of the track. What really stands out here is the vocal; in direct contrast to the moody atmosphere of the instrumental, there is a repeated interpolation of the infamous Loleatta Holloway “I’m gon’ diss you” sample - made famous by the likes of Bicep and Armando amongst others in previous years. The juxtaposition of this iconic old-school vocal against Placid One’s ultra-modern sound design and signature drum programming gives a result that oozes with dancefloor nostalgia.

This track makes up one-fifth of the forthcoming HPU013 EP, with each track demonstrating Placid One’s penchant for creating club-driven rhythms whilst showcasing his diversity as a producer. In the context of the release, the traditional 4/4 structure of Liquid Crystals will likely make this the most obvious weapon of choice for many DJs. The track sits alongside a breaky UKG-inspired stomper (HPU013), an electro-infused acid workout (Reinelda) and the fantastically-titled CocoFishTrap – an enthralling IDM track demonstrating the artist’s ability to combine complex drum programming with mesmerising ambient soundscapes. The more adventurous DJs out there may look to reach for Seaweeds, with its off-kilter breakbeat patterns drawing similarities to the likes of leftfield techno favourites Overmono. For the most part though, the gripping energy of Liquid Crystals’ four-to-the-floor groove, combined with its understated yet enchanting aura and tried-and-tested vocal makes this track stand out as the most viable peak-time candidate for when the sweaty basement clubs once again open their doors.

PREMIERE: Placid One - Liquid Crystals

After appearances on Pure Space Canberra's Point Guard coming through with a strong solo debut. Three nuance-rich rolling originals will surely please the discerning ear. Sydney native PMA's remix on the flip transforms the eponymous track "Motions" into a mesmerising banger.

"Written and recorded remotely in the fall of 2020, Adam O and MALT present "CODEC", a five-track EP in the formats of a 3” pocket CD and digital. Drawing from the themes of the virtual systems, isolation, and a distorted perception of time, "CODEC" reminisces experiences of the warehouse reaching through the smoking area with organically driven acid, pulsating techno, and mysterious breaks."

Born from a mutual admiration of the groove ethic of 90s house music, Primitive Needs is the collaborative project of Melbourne locals Matt Stringfellow and Jackson Gray. Whilst staying true to their formative influences, the new project channels a natural progression towards late night club ready sounds, aided and abetted by an influx of new hardware and time in isolation. The dj and production duo step up with their debut "Phase Unity" for DAD008 displaying an array of house & breakbeat across the board with fellow Melbournian lads DJ Life, and Escape Artist on remix duties!
