Down 2 Dance (Tech Support Remix)

Everything ground to a holt that morning. This seemingly well-oiled machine was not all it was cracked up to be; people had already left in their droves, only a few remained in the hope that they'd be rewarded for their commitment, but they'd be waiting a long time. Nobody knew the root cause of this breakdown but it had been a longtime coming, there was only so much those who wielded power could get away with before a mass exodus would ensue.

Newly born label Terra Magica are kicking off proceedings with a release from the two head honchos: Munich-based producers and DJs Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger. Under their Hektisch Sprengen guise, which in German means to blow up things in a very hectic manner, the pair are doing just the opposite sound-wise - the two tracks are slow analog jams that draw from an array of genres and places. The pair have invited four artists to remix the tracks too including our pick from Aussie producer DJ Chrysalis who puts a UK-G influenced spin on 'Dancing Dust'.

PREMIERE: Hektisch Sprengen DJs - Dancing Dust (DJ Chrysalis PDQ Remix) [Terra Magica Rec]

An eerie calm had settled on the beach. The sea was still under the jet-black sky, which was dotted with pinprick stars, like a billion tiny torches shining down from the heavens. The moon cast shadows on the sands and the tranquillity was enhanced by the gentle sound of the waves as they drifted up onto the shoreline and back again. In the distance you could just about make out the thrum of the soundsystem from the bar in the far corner of the beach. It could be playing any song you wanted and anyone you knew could be in there, waiting for you to arrive with a hug and a smile and whatever else you fancied…

It’s a double celebration for the Ransom Note and Bytes family today! As well as being the release day for the four-track Remix EP featuring reworkings of tracks from Water Groove, the stunning debut album from the multi-instrumentalist composer and visual artist Yoann Pisterman, it is also the 40th birthday of R$N friend Enrique “ELO” Leon, the Venezuelan/Colombian DJ also known as Leeon. He just so happens to have provided one of the remixes on the EP, so R$N is posting it to mark this special day.

ELO’s ethereal take on Marbling soothes the mind with a meditative aura of sonic crescendo. As the music evolves, it feels as though we are transcending through unknown dimensions, pervaded by introspection and bliss. This take on Marbling was inspired by a recurrent midnight sitting down at Playa Marmol in Río Claro, a nature reserve in Colombia.

Track: Vigil Of Arms
Label: Bandcamp Exclusive
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 04/03/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/8JfRRqCJZL4

A debut EP by Bodega3 co-founder DJ Gerard. An electronic journey where a fellow knight turn into a war hero.
‘Vigil of Arms’ kicks off the EP with spiralling acid rhythms that flow and breathe alongside a shy melody and an epic war horn atmosphere. ‘Ceremony’ is a bleepy percussive prayer of hope atop weightless pads that breaks down & rises back up with his gravitational bass. ‘Age of Sudden’ is an accumulation of twirling voices slowly building up to an heavy bass-led track, melting with chopped-up jazz samples breaks before gliding into a mutant 4x4/trap beat that concludes the EP

PREMIERE: Wiener Planquadrat - AIV (Tech Support Remix) [ Iptamenos Discos ]

After releasing their critically acclaimed debut single ‘Stillstand’ on Local Suicide’s label Iptamenos Discos the Austrian duo Wiener Planquadrat are returning with their new ‘Dschungel’ EP which includes remixes by legendary electro-punk producer T.Raumschmiere, London-based infamous artist Birds and the uprising disco producer Tech Support.

The title track ‘Im Dschungel’ is a feel-good disco-pop / indie dance tune that speaks about the urban jungle of Vienna. The exuberant combination of arpeggio distortions, sizzling synths keys and jolly vocals transport listeners right in the middle of bubbly and chaotic Viennese jungle. 

The B-side ‘AIV’ (short for Alles ist Viel) is a dark disco hymn composed of polyphonic plucked synths, classic 80s beat, and distorted arp brassy sounds, while the vocals evoke the wilderness of a tangled and jumbled mind.

T.Raumschmiere, an artist of multiple facets ranging from punk techno to experimental ambient, maneuvers ‘Im Dschungel’ with abstract and minimalist tones. A steady remix with kick and bass at the forefront wrapped up with bright looping keys. 

Birds twists ‘Im Dschungel’ with an acid bassline, dark metallic strings, and adds mystical vocals showcasing her talent to merge multiple atmospheres into one track and always thrive for edginess and originality. 

‘AIV’ is revisited by London-based Tech Support, who gives it an all-around bouncy and elegant groove, harmoniously matched with spacey effects, bright bells, and screechy synths.

Wiener Planquadrat is formed by Maximilian Atteneder from Catastrophe & Cure and Michael Weiler, a former member of Luv Shack's Burning Tears. Their work is a union of their two musical background: a mixture of indie, dark disco, and a decent portion of French electro, reminiscing the times they first met. In 2021, they released their critically acclaimed debut single “Stillstand”, which went up onto the top 10 tracks of Austria’s most important youth radio station FM4, was highlighted as track of the day by Byte FM, received glowing reviews on the blogosphere and was described as the “perfect feel-good-disco-track” by German leading electronic print magazine FAZE, while receiving support by DJs such as Joris Voorn, John Digweed, Phunkadelica, Sean Johnston & Damon Jee among others.

The ‘Dschungel’ EP is an electrifying collection of tracks showcasing each artists' distinctive style and colourful palette of musical artistry. It will be released on a strictly limited clear Dubplate 12” and made available digitally on all platforms on April 22nd, 2022.

Label: U're Guay Records (@ureguay)

DYR’s original tracks Skippy and Hello pay homage to early 00's house and were created on a legendary Yamaha RS7000. Skippy serves up DYR's trademark grooves coupled with shimmering synths, delayed percussion, and chunky kick drums while Hello is a rolling disco ride with amped up energy and bold breakbeats. Remixes from Jessica Bellomo and Axel Sundelin round out the extended player by delivering their own abstracted electro takes while retaining the original tracks’ unmistakable energy.

Founded in Uruguay in June 2018 by Imanol Castro (aka Imanol), in 2020 Panko joined the crew as curator. U´re Guay, is an independent label that releases varied genres from House, Electro, Acid, Techno, and old sounds of Funk, Disco, Afrobeat, and other eclectic rhythms.]

Hailing from the U.S., Minneapolis-based producer DYR elevates dance floors with her atmospheric, beat-forward sets that offer an eclectic blend of techno, house, and disco. Outside of the club, DYR (real name Colleen Burns) works assembling high-end effects pedals -- a position perfectly suited for a producer with a love for delay and all-things FX.

Label: Spazio Tempo (https://soundcloud.com/spaziotempoparis)

We’re proud to introduce you to Spazio Tempo’s first release ever, a stunning album by its founder Luca Vera called ‘Transizione Degli Elementi’ - literally - Transition of the elements. The record is an actual journey into the artist’s creative mind and it’s composed of ten tracks, each and every one masterly crafted according to Luca’s experimental sonic ideal. Since the very beginning of the LP is clear how the producer wants to display a vast range of sounds, to perfectly epitomise a will to exhibit his versatility as a music composer and his inner urgency to show his style, finally on his own imprint. ‘Transizione Degli Elementi’ is a cohesive and solid work , yet quite variegated in terms of sonic influences, surely the result of an intense collaborative process between Luca and many musicians (Alessio Lalli: trumpet / Luigi Pizzuti: Guitar, Vocals / Aldo Mascio: Electric Piano) who helped him to convey the right message. All - in - all what shines through this beautiful digital EP - out in April 2022 - is a tenacious sonic attitude by the artist, who perfectly shows his experience and skillfulness by continuously shifting the sonic moods, from the meeker, smoother vibes of ‘L’inizio’, ‘Orizzonti’ and ‘Notte’ to the darker energy of ‘Idiosincrasia’, the more club - like approach of ‘Urto Elastico’ and the rhythmic burst of ‘Ossessione’. Then Luca takes his foot off the gas, slowing down the tempo with ‘Silenzio Violento ’ and creating a perfect anti - climax towards the end of the album with the acid vibes of ‘Sinestesia’, the dreamy gentleness of ‘Via Da Qui’ and the spacey, emotional ending of the stunning harmonic masterpiece ‘Gran Finale’. The record was mastered at the Land Studio and the Cover Art was designed by Francesco Scaramuzzo.

PREMIERE : Luca Vera - Sinestesia

Parisian duo Masomenos deliver their new LP ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ this May, coming via the Automatic Writing imprint and comprised of eleven originals, several of which feature Amsterdam’s San Proper.

Masomenos have always explored parallel worlds with their music, fusing an amalgamation of influences and bringing into their universe all the humour and kindness they’ve met on their path. Their music, weird and intriguing for some, lively and trippy for others, is like an ongoing story told over more than 15 years of musical production. Alongside the music is their graphic design accompaniment of funny creatures, and mystical figures. In this new opus, they surf the frontier between their club sound and home listening,
inviting friends over for the ride. Julien Quentin at the piano, Adrien Boisseau on the viola, and San Proper on vibe & vocals.
Across the ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ LP Masomenos traverse through a variety of styles, from dynamic, microhouse compositions like ‘Tournicoti’, ‘Ainamor’ and ‘Planet X feat. San Proper’, which bring
together bumpy, modulating drums with textural synths and sprinklings of jazz throughout. Also on offer is some heavy dub influencefound in cuts like‘Hollow’, ‘Cleopatra feat. San Proper’ and title-track ‘UAP’ which utilise bubbling stab echoes, swirling atmospherics and heavy doses of sub bass.
The album also sees many weird and wonderful explorations straddling the lines between electronica and house, like the computer game style of opening track ‘Rêve’, acid infused pad driven workout ‘Are You Sure’, cinematic feel of ‘Mystery Unsolved’ and closing cut ‘Daffy’s Land’ which wanders through six minutes of unfolding bass growls, nuanced rhythms and shimmering synth sequences.

After releasing on Paradiso Records and Midnight People, Remi Wanless drops his new EP on Love Attack. As an 80s enthusiast, Remi is influenced by bands such as Depeche Mode & Talking Heads and you can hear it in the neat synthwork and driving percussion in his productions. Playing an eclectic range of italo, disco and electro, he grew a passion for cosmic and otherworldly bleeps and arps that have all come together to formulate a production style that truly reflects his taste in music.

With the world in Covid-19 lockdown and the events industry stopped in its tracks, artists and online media like ourselves have been left financially vulnerable and, well...pretty bored. In an effort to alleviate both, Stamp The Wax launches Isolation Therapy, an emergency compilation built from scratch at lightning speed. 

We reached out to a bunch of friends who may need a hand, and gave them three days to make a track from scratch in isolation. 27 artists rose to the challenge and within a week from our first reach outs we were ready to go with masters (s/o Adam Scrimshire) and artwork (s/o Jess Ebsworth)⁣⁣. Final s/o to Aly Gilani for helping pull it all together. 

To provide artists with financial support as quickly as possible, royalty splits have been increased and accounting periods have been reduced to fortnightly during Coronavirus restrictions. Isolation Therapy will also provides much-needed funds for STW, having been hit heavily by the collapse of the events industry and postponement of all our media partnerships. If you can afford to buy the album, even if you don't like every track, it will be a massive support for independent journalism and go a long way to help us fight through this lockdown.⁣⁣

Originally from Tokyo, and now based in London, Anchorsong AKA Masaaki Yoshida is a highly-fêted producer, and solo live act, renowned for crafting immersive and rhythmic releases.

Anchorsong has become globally recognised for his unique live shows, which spectators have described as “like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas”. He creates electronic music entirely live using an MPC2500 and keyboard, right in front of the audience. While he mainly performs solo, he frequently augments this setup with a string quartet, for a genuinely spellbinding show.
 Early on in his career, Anchorsong wowed the crowds at SXSW and found himself the subject of increased attention, going on to make several appearances on BBC Radio 1 with radio play from Rob Da Bank and a live Maida Vale session for Huw Stephens’ In New Music We Trust show in early 2010. Having put out three successful EPs in Japan, all of which were released as double packs containing a CD and a live DVD, Anchorsong’s international debut, ‘The Lost & Found EP’ was released on his own label, Case Study.
 Anchorsong signed to Tru Thoughts and released his single “Ghost Touch/Plum Rain” later that year, followed by his highly anticipated debut full-length album ‘Chapters’. He signed the seismic “Mawa” EP to BBE Recordings for a limited edition clear 10” vinyl release, taking a more element-laden, cut and paste approach with a renewed musical vision.

Masaaki dug deep into the roots of 70s African music on ‘Ceremonial’, while taking inspiration from 70s and 80s Bollywood film soundtracks and traditional Indian percussion on ‘Cohesion’ – a psychedelic, danceable and free-spirited listen that blurs rhythm and melody.

Praised by the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music/Worldwide FM), Karizma, Osunlade, Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) and Craig Smith, Anchorsong has commanded support from BBC 6Music, being playlisted with his hit singles “Testimony” and “Expo”, ‘Ceremonial’ being hailed as Album of the Year (2016, 5th spot), and ‘Cohesion’ named Album of Day (2018). The unabashedly talented musician has achieved heavy press coverage from the likes of XLR8R, Clash, Magnetic Magazine, Pop Matters, Bandcamp Daily, NME Japan and Rolling Stone Japan, with print reviews from Q Magazine, DJ Mag, and Songlines (which named it as their ‘Top of the World’ album), and airplay across BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Asian Network, Worldwide FM, Radio X, FIP and KCRW.

‘Mirage’ is the fourth album from Anchorsong, a record that evokes hazy soundscapes constructed with wind instrumentals, choirs, and global sonic particles. Building on Anchorsong’s long-standing tradition of “borderless music”, ‘Mirage’ fuses intricate rhythms with minimal yet immersive lush interplays of sound to create an auditory odyssey. ‘Mirage’ marks a departure from Anchorsong’s previous two albums – ‘Ceremonial’ and ‘Cohesion’ – specific geographical references. Instead, the album which was half-written during lockdown and when nobody could travel, shows Masaaki internalise his global influences and worldview to conjure a “vague landscape that only exists in my mind”.
