For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Known for his production diversity, German Alex M.O.R.P.H. delves into his darker side, and blends beautifully with the talents of Ukranian Max Freegrant. 1ne is an intriguing piece of work, thanks to its hypnotic nature that has captured the attention of audiences in Ibiza and beyond.

Tomy Wahl - To Live My Life [Surrealismo Records]

If you’ve not yet come across Ryan Farish, well don’t feel bad. He’s a producer more interested in living and breathing music creation than he is shouting about it. Releasing it, over many a year, through his Rytone Entertainment imprint, it’s given Ryan free license to continue producing outside of electronic music’s established margins. 

Not trance per se, not New Wave exactly, EDM-ish… yet not, (ditto for chillout, electronica and a half dozen other subsets,) it’s an artistic latitude that’s served the US born-&-based producer handsomely. It’s seen him rack up a string of Billboard top 10s, become a co-writer of a GRAMMY Award-Nominated Recording and a YouTube channel along with fan created videos adding up to a view-count north of 73 million. His music is regularly featured on major US television networks, as well as motion pictures (most recently including the marketing of Despicable Me sequel). Very much the producer’s producer (with the sensibilities to match), his tracks are used in-store as part of Bang & Olufsen’s demo programming and he was handpicked by Audi for the carmaker’s Remarkable Audi video series. 

In November - in a rare break with his Rytone release tradition - Black Hole Recordings have secured the rights to his as-ever eclectic new single, ‘Stories In Motion’. 

In its Original Mix form, ‘Stories’ is another textbook example of what makes Ryan’s releases the unclassified, breed-apart productions they are. Imagine U2-esque guitars, prefacing halcyon synths and quixotic vocals (as lyrically infectious as they are verbal), all wrapped in an extravagant, radio delighting production.

On Sunny Lax’s remix, the Anjunabeats’ centurion moves ‘Stories’ emphasis closer to the trance end, booming up its bass and rearticulating the track’s mainline in a more euphoric fashion. 

Tying the mix package off, for his interpretation Sied van Riel goes all-in-trance. It’s not for the faint of floor-heart though. Metal-on-metal percussion, deeply resonating LFO, tech-grit and Hitchcock-tense sub-riffs conspire to turn Ryan’s ‘Stories’ into a tripped-out, late night ride to the club side.

""Love Is Not Enough" is a song from the heart about the challenges in a relationship that can arise outside of a core feeling of love for someone. Love is not enough to be with someone - a relationship needs to "work" day to day." Jono Grant, Above & Beyond

A poignant tale of a deep love that wasn't quite to be, Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" ( feat. Zoë Johnston ) is the the latest single from the widely acclaimed album "Group Therapy" - last year described by Mixmag as "artist album of the year".

An elegant, melodic progressive builder with stirring strings and poignant vocals from Zoë Johnston , "Love Is Not Enough" perfectly captures the bittersweet beauty of intense, but ultimately unsuccessful relationships.

Adding a stadium-sized energy to the track, the huge, groove-fuelled Above & Beyond Club Mix is also included in all its riff-driven glory - and has been receiving huge responses on the trio's recent North America tour.

Maor Levi & Bluestone add their own big room trance 2.0 twist on things, US house heavyweight Kaskade contributes an uplifting house remix, while the prolific prodigy Mat Zo contributing a future funk drum & bass remix under his MRZO guise. An ethereal bass interperation from Synkro completes the package.
