Who would've thought one of the first female skateboarders and a psych rock singer would spawn a house music prodigy? If you've seen RA's Real Scenes LA docko, then you might've noticed Sage casually rolling some 'herbs' while being interviewed, so maybe it's not hard to fathom after all... These tracks are not one bit spaced out though, they're all sharp, layered, banging house tracks. Like his previous EPs on Spring Theory and Huxley's No Idea's Original, Sage somehow manages to keep things exciting while using very traditional house structures. I guess it's all in the detail.

The A side from Automne's forthcoming EP, out at end of November.

Phase One [LKR004]

Growing up together in the shadow of a U.S. Army base in West Germany during their formative years, Thomas "Saap" Sabrowsky and Daniel Nentwig of the Berlin-based duo The Working Elite have offered up their recreational EP, 'Bumper Cars', to Tim Sweeny's Beats in Space imprint as a "small act of diplomatic celebration."

Ahead of the EP's digital release, duo member Saap and Lauer of Tuff City Kids have offered up a glossy electro remix of 'Rockman'. Complete with pummeling lows and slamming synth compositions, this fast-paced and distinct rework is a modish ode to old-school electro that works wonders on the dancefloor.

'Bumper Cars' is scheduled for release on September 21.

Premiere: The Working Elite 'Rockman' (Lauer & Saap Remix)

LA native Sage Caswell (who's currently based in Madison, Wisconsin) has built his career on a pleasantly chill vacillation between house music and ambient sounds. That duality continues on his latest album, 'Evil Twin,' which is scheduled for release on March 29 via the 2MR label. Ahead of the record's arrival, we debuted the floaty, melody-rich bump of LP cut "Radius Pause" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Another track from the compilation ¡Escúchame, Cabrón! available on pre-order now: https://italianolympics.bandcamp.com/album/esc-chame-cabr-n-v-a

¡Escúchame, Cabrón! is a limited-edition C50 cassette announced for pre-order on International Women's Day and made up exclusively of female artists or groups and collaborations featuring a strong female presence.

The purpose of the release is to bring to light, in our own small way, the systemic violence and oppression of women in Spain and around the world and to highlight the incredible female voices present in industrial and synthwave music today.

Spain is a country close to our hearts. It's a beautiful, historic, energetic and culturally-rich nation. Today, the problems women have to face in a society that is generally a privileged population are completely unnecessary. Problems such as being cross-examined in rape trials, gang rape cases being downgraded to sexual assault and an abundance of domestic violence. An average of one woman in killed by her partner per week.

In 2017 Spanish courts received more than 166,000 gender violence complaints against woman - a 16% increased on the year before. Spain is certainly not an exception. Some national studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime.

NO ES NO.

On ¡Escúchame, Cabrón!, Side A's cold and synthwave vibes contrast with Side B's raw industrial atmospheres to produce a devastatingly excellent release.

Cititrax is happy to announce ‘Dream Bleeds’, a new vinyl release by Brighton, UK based producer L/F/D/M. L/F/D/M is Richard Smith who first emerged in 2013, inaugurating the Optimo Trax series with the Purple Maps EP.

In 2014, he teamed up with former Factory Floor’s Dominic Butler to release two EP’s of hardware-driven atonal techno on Powell’s Diagonal Records.

In 2015, Cititrax featured Moth Holes on our Tracks Volume 2.

‘Dream Bleeds’ overflows with body jerking industrial, raw acid/techno, and hints of the warehouse sound of the late ‘90s and the caustic spirit of EBM.

Richard Smith says about ‘Dream Bleeds’, “attaching meaning to songs is often arbitrary but when the visceral feeling of music, particularly instrumental body music, is laid bare, the interaction is immediate and physical. These tracks thread together; each starting point completely open, each new step informed by the last. I find it interesting that the process is the same but the outcome somewhat unexpected; shaped by emotion, inspiration or even constraints of time, they evolve as they do in that time. They reach a different end point due to that evolution of circumstance.”

L/F/D/M’s ‘Dream Bleeds’ is out on vinyl in early May. Pre-order up soon.

Tresor Records is delighted to welcome Rod Modell to its catalogue, with the release of his new album Captagon.

Rod Modell needs no introduction, his various projects render him a master of techno. In repetition and barely noticeable change, Modell resculptures perceptions. His sound-design echoes cinematic ethereality, where ferric artefacts slam against percussion, rusty delays filter observation - the resulting web is a complex, radiating ambience that etches a natural ebb and flow.

Transformative sounds alight from the outset, “Triangulation” recalls flickering harmonies and grains, a tectonic swipe. Fast-paced dub techno emerges in “Reiki”, the disorienting clangs suggesting a step away from his recent ambient excursions. “Ito” crunches the pulse further with insistent noise, into soaring epiphanies of darkened transmissions.

Modell singularly uproots standard sonic hierarchies of techno production, crisp static as forceful as his beats, a provocation of rhythm and noise. Unceasing in its fast tempo, “Jade” is trademark Tresor business - the seismic sub-sonics underpin a momentous drive, with reverberated vocal inflections disfiguring warped, dancing materials. “Scrawler” is upfront and direct, a slamming groove and swaying chords diffusing ethereality. Enter vast chambers of smeared minimalism.

Where Modell’s recent releases had indicated a priority for ambient sounds, this new album extends Modell’s essential vision within techno. Closing track “Air-Port” shows Modell at his most crucial best - an ethereal colossus of sub-bass weight and morphing geometry.

B1 // Ouxh 'Coma Void' [LKR007]

Auton (aka Mx Silkman) from the In Training collective makes her follow-up from last year's Jacktone Records release with a 4-track ascent into a maze of pummeling overtones, dissonant patterns, and hypnotic rhythms. 'Tute Bianche' is inspired from the social movements from '94-'01, where white overall-wearing demonstrators in Italy, and other parts of the world, protested anti-globalization. It is here that Auton channels this militant ethos with conscious, minimalism techno that embodies the movement's "padded bloc" tactics.

Implant EP

Datawave - Immune Compound

From Juno:

"LKR hits release number 007 with a suitably smooth and stealthy electro offering from Ouxh. This is a new, mysterious artist making their debut, and an impressive one at that: the title track is a thoughtful number thanks to the lingering chords which hang behind muted drums and perc, while "Birdman" has a chirping bird lost in a rather eerie landscape populated by a corrugated bassline and unsettling chords. Last of all is the excellent "Coma Void", with stepping, jungle influenced rhythms and a tense vocal loop that pans about the mix to make for something brilliantly dynamic. On this evidence, Ouxh is one to watch."

Machines In Care [LKR007]

D'Marc Cantu - La Frontera EP
Label : Tuskegee Music
Release date : 4th October 2019
https://soundcloud.com/tuskegeeecords

The always on-point and culturally significant Tuskegee Music is back with more essential music, this time from venerated American producer D’Marc Cantu.
Over the course of a distinguished career, Cantu has contributed to everything from jackbeat to acid, house to techno on labels like Creme Organisation and Les Disques De La Mort. Always serving up raw-edged, uncompromising sounds, he does so again here on another standout EP.
Opener ‘Beat The Move’ is an urgent, high tech piece of slick and supple acid house with 303 undulations, dark vocal loops and the sort of hammering drums that get the club locked right in.
The sublime ‘In The Forest’ is a tripped out bit of restless electro with skittish hits and rueful pads that gets right to your heart.
Last of all is the militant, marching ‘A Narrow Connection’ which closes things out with crisp kicks and scintillating sheet metal drums that straighten your back and get you stomping.
These are utilitarian yet wonderfully unique club tracks from a real master of the form.

La Mano - Fumo  EP
Release date : 7th October 2019
https://soundcloud.com/secretfusionofficial
https://soundcloud.com/lamanomusic
https://soundcloud.com/youngerthanme

Hungarian party and label Secret Fusion returns with a fantastic fourth EP, this time from Anglo-Italian La Mano complete with a remix from the bosses them- selves, Secret Factory, plus Younger Than Me.
Mixing up progressive, melodic and deeper shades of house and techno, the north of England born Carlo Bragagnini has built a reputation as a skilful and gutsy DJ over the past two decades. He has formed a signature sound informed by early Sasha mixtapes and since then brought in Italo and disco influences that mean his grooves have real energy and flavour.
Opener ‘Fumo’ is a glistening cut that blurs the lines between techno, Italo and melodic house with big retro chords and crashing hits all married to futuristic beats. It’s a fresh and arresting tune with a melancholic lead that makes a big mark. Younger Than Me is the remix pair formed of Marcello Carozzi & Francesco Mingrino. They are resident DJs at monthly party called Futura and already re- leased with Bordello in Parigi, Relish Records, Tusk Wax and co- founded their own 90’s wax project. Their version of ‘Fumo’ is much deeper and more stripped back, with a hypnotic and warped bassline and icy synths riding up and down the scale to mind bending effect.
Then comes the excellent ‘Nebbia’, a serene cut with a sombre mood that has crisp hits and poignant one-finger bass stabs that echo out into a night sky. It is tasteful club music with real emotion. Hungarian innovators, party people, DJs and producers Secret Factory then step up and flip this one into a cosmic machine music gem, with chugging drums and glistening melodies all underpinned by fat, rasping bass.
These are four more hard to categorise cuts of expressive and excellent electronic music that draw on many different sound sources.

PREMIERE : La Mano - Fumo (Younger Than Me Remix)
