KVITEVIT - Sound Of 2015

This week's Source to Cycle comes from André Hommen.  Original from Nettetal in Germany, André was inspired by the radio shows broadcasting over the local airwaves, opening up his ears to the house music sound, and influencing his move behind the turntables to hone his craft.

André is widely known as one of the crew at Dennis Ferrer's Objektivity label,  helping the develop the careers of Ferrer, Argy, Martinez Brothers, and finding the time to also develop his own production style and DJ career.  Releases on Objektivity and Plastic City have wetted his appetite to further his production career, so we look forward to some future music from him.

Catch André Hommen on Tuesday 16th July at Luciano & Friends at Ushuaia, Ibiza alongside Dennis Ferrer, Andrea Oliva, Laps, Michel Cleis, Luciano & more...

Burning Bright (feat. Kim Ann Foxman)

The Creatures project is a collaboration between Ryan Davis and Applescal; it started in Amsterdam and finished in Berlin. The project contains three different versions of one song and all versions were born out of a spontaneous session; each version can be seen as a further modulation and step in the whole process. The best part of the process is in your hands though, as we have all the remix parts available. Interested? Find out how it works below....

Available on Beatport: http://j.mp/taylr_swft
Available on iTunes + Vinyl: November 18th

All Night Long Official Music Video: http://j.mp/1x2uxMB

He’s ridden us raw with his naked piano, made our booties clap so hard we’ve needed medical care, shown us his titsss and he’s even taken us to the mo… Wherever that is. Now Belgian wunderkind Kill Frenzy is about to flip the biggest switch of his career and whisk us away on his most exciting, most extensive dirtybird adventure yet: His long-awaited debut album Taylr Swft.

Famed for his ability to carve carnal drama from one smouldering 808 sermon and a sleazy panty-dropping vocal loop, here we find Sebastian Vanschoonbeek developing his uncompromising, ghetto-bound repertoire with serious maturity, depth and class. Building on his well-established bass-laced bedrock, each of these cuts flex with dynamics that will find favour with all house and techno connoisseurs and do so with complete consistency as a whole body of work… hell, they work so well dirtybird bossman VonStroke is almost reluctant to release them.

"I'm almost sad to start sharing the new Kill Frenzy album with everyone else because it has been my secret weapon all summer.  At one point I was playing seven tracks from the album in the same set, it was almost embarrassing. I'm very fickle about choosing what I play and this album is amazing."

Proof of Kill Frenzy’s next-levelism is evident in every single direction; the cavernous thundering march of "All Night Long”, the bouncy techno fluctuations of “Inflation”, the sultry deep house dish “XXX”, the sheer tech tenacity and roof-burning electro-fication of “Lava”, the delicate jazz keys and purring sub bass of “So Fine”… The list goes on.

Press play, then press it again for good measure: debut albums often dangerously dice with displays of inconsistent dexterity, but with Taylr Swft Kill Frenzy has carefully created a collection that completely makes sense of his past work while staring guilefully into an exciting future. A bona fide dirtybird document that confirms Kill Frenzy’s position as one of electronic music’s boldest creators, Taylr Swft is everything you could possibly want from a modern day album: dancefloor gold, depth, range and an unswerving narrative. Get to know.

Kill Frenzy - All Night Long

Good morning children, welcome to school ! What might be known from “Ipoly Mate 003″, got a very different context here. Heavy club food, flavoured by my love for the energy of the early 90s.

--- Aus Alec Troniqs @trndmusik Interview: --- 
"Der Sommer hat mich vor lauter Liebe ganz gefühlsduselig gemacht – diese intensiven Momente auf Festivalbühnen und so viele dankbare, mitsingende Menschen. Jetzt treibt’s mich aber in die Clubs und ich brauche knackige Action mit schweren, schmutzigen Grooves. Nach all meinen Indie-Songs dieses Jahr kann ich dem Drang nich widerstehen, dem Pferd mal wieder die Sporen zu geben. Allerdings immer getreu meinem Prinzip: Die allgemeinen Gewohnheiten zu missachten."

I can't think of a better way to celebrate DIRTYBIRD's 10 year anniversary than by releasing 14 great tracks that I fully support. There’s no fluff in here. Everyone from our amazing talent pool has delivered their A game material. And l have also added a few great new names to the family. 

It’s hard to believe that this little project started in my bedroom in the Lower Haight, San Francisco 10 years ago. I can distinctly remember hand stamping vinyl promos at home with my friend Fernando and trying to figure out the best way to mail them to Europe.  I remember the very first guy to ever call me back about our music was Edgar Dirksen in Frankfurt, Germany, who was working at a now defunct distributor called Neuton.  This was the only place that would agree to sell our records back in 2005 and I still thank him for taking the chance on us. 

There have been many many people involved since the beginning. Special thanks to all who have helped me run the shop at different times such as my wife Aundy, Mike Bosley, Christian Martin, Adam Carter, Sharen Norden, Bryan James,  Luke Williams, Jonathan McDonald, Alastair Duncan and Stacey Gamble. Of course I couldn’t have done it without my good friend and the amazing music producer, Justin Martin, who helped shape our sound and also really define what it means to be part of DIRTYBIRD. 

A lot has happened in the music industry over the last 10 years but I like to think we have stayed consistent and managed to enjoy the ride. The players may change but the theme stays the same; keep it fun and funky. So please enjoy this very special compilation of our music and here’s to another 10 years of DIRTYBIRD!

Much Love,
Claude VonStroke

Martin Garrix - Forbidden Voices

Dahu - Sedated (Original Mix)

The Polish DJs, producers and Pets Recordings’ label owners known for their electrifying performances and catchy cuts announce their third LP, ‘Basic Colour Theory’, a fruitful collection of evocative melodies and gorgeous vocals. This album marks a pivotal moment in their career as house outfit Catz ‘N Dogz.

Taking firm lead of the Eastern European electronic music revolution, the pair, who have previously graced the cover of both Mixmag and DJ Mag Spain, have for some time been poised for significant success as their international recognition on the underground has never lacked momentum.  ‘Basic Colour Theory’ will add to the list of remarkable accolades the dynamic duo already have under their belt; joining their acclaimed Essential Mix in 2013, and weighty remixes for a who’s who in music electronic or otherwise, including Basement Jaxx, Kings Of Leon, Thomas Schumacher, Friendly Fires, and Kim Ann Foxman, not to mention their two previous LPs. 

Colour; such a pervasive part of everything we visually encounter, and its many theories a logical structure that for many artists, designers and music producers becomes an intuitive choice - a melting pot of ideas and influences in varying quantities.  Evoking particular moods and emotions through choice of palette in design and sound architecture. 

In this full length offering, traditional songwriting meets Catz ‘N Dogz signature infectious basslines; a natural result of extensive sonic exploration and the osmotic process of years of DJing worldwide, all the while developing a deeper understanding of what they want to say through their music.

Their knack for reading a crowd just right has seen them lording stages of some of the most coveted festivals across the globe, including SW4, Park Life, Bestival, Snowbombing, Electric Daisy Carnival and BPM, and has also resulted in them being booked for the iconic Movement Festival 2015 (Detroit) and Exit Festival 2015 (Serbia). The same talent that has helped them achieve such stratospheric success is translated here in a collection of inviting tracks, as they showcase their on-point producing talents.

"It’s our third album and we did a lot of research, preparation, reading, watching documentaries about the music scene, people and looking for inspirations everywhere. We were talking a lot about people who inspire us, art, creative process, philosophy and meaning of work and music in our life."
 
From the off, opening cut ‘Good Touch’ exemplifies this is a true game changer for this unstoppable duo, and is the start of a fifteen-track voyage through experimental sounds as they explore a different approach to electronic music.

Mau Kilauea - Silhouettes

Inner Downers (Visionary Vocal)

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

ZR deliver yet another hi quality disco house banger that's sure to be responsible for a few clubbers bursting out of toilet cubicles and running straight towards the (already packed) dancefloor with their trousers round their ankles 

"I Can Feel Your Body Rock" has shades of Gary's Gang, Tony Lee and Softhouse Co, though none of those are sampled or stolen from. The JN Club Mix combines boogie bass, 80s electronics, chopped vocals and old school piano for an energetic stormer which has a lot more panache than most. Whilst the Serious Mix is dominated by a big dub wise proto house bassline, live rattling percussion and lots of D Train-esque synth parts.

@trndmusik Interview about Booze Gumps: http://trndmusik.de/2015/07/alec-troniq-verschenkt-sein-stueck-booze-gumps/

Booze Gumps

Following his successful remixes on SUOL (for Fritz Kalkbrenner’s 'Void‘, January 2015 ) and Culprit LA (for Aidan Lavelle & Robbie Akbal’s ’Stars’, November 2014), Objektivity is proud to welcome André Hommen's second EP, "Battery Park" as its next release.

André Hommen - Battery Park - Objektivity (2015)

After running Dennis Ferrer's Objektivity imprint, touring on the international DJ circuit and building an impressive portfolio of remixing credits and collaborative releases over many years, André Hommen is now spreading his wings as a fully-fledged ar- tist.

'Introspectral', his third solo release, show- cases a producer who has fine-tuned his talents over a long period of time and - as the portmanteau title suggests - both reflected intensely and explored a broad spectrum of sounds.

The aquatic bass pulses of the title track, topped with cycling loops, surging drones and melancholy chords, paves the way for a dancing riff that will surely have hands re- aching for the air. With its textbook builds and sweeping dynamics, it's an impeccably rendered and dazzlingly hypnotic groove.

On the more introspective, bass-heavy Dub, Hommen weaves a web of gritty arpeggios and chiming synths whose intricacy is un- veiled in a long, beatless breakdown.

Last up, the writhing sub bass and Mor- se code pings of 'Centrifuge' cast an air of Hitchcockian menace: prelude to a cre- scendo of bright synths and blinding light as the machine revs up to maximum velocity.

Sasha's label, Last Night On Earth continues to maintain it's forward thinking approach to releasing a diverse range of quality electronic music.

Finally seeing the light of day is Sasha's take on Hot Chip’s “Flutes".  Having been a firm favourite and closing track of many of his recent sets, he twists it in to his classic melodic vibe that only he does so well, taking the original into a new dimension for the clubs and festivals.

Beautiful synth work builds and breaks throughout the track, with tight drum programming keeping the track flowing and taking you on a melodic journey, as only Sasha can do.

My remix for the belgian lady LEESA. I'm very happy with it, cuz it makes me smile :)
Atmosphere is an awesome label and btw. the homebase of my fellow Stereo Express.

"Some things just stick in your mind... and 'Niko' will be one of them! Leesa, the talented lady at Atmosphere Records, has a new EP ready. As we've got to know her, the style is very minimal but melodic at the same time. All wrapped up in a very sophisticated production. A dancefloor remix is done by up and comer Alec Troniq, perfect for the peak times of your night out. Mr. Troniq is a regular in the minimal charts these days and this track is sure to be found up there as well!"
