MARK REEVE | Dice Remixes Part 1
[SOMA403D]

1.	Dice (Mark Reeve Remake)
2.	Dice (Manic Brothers Remix)

Soma welcome back stalwart Mark Reeve for the first in a two part series that sees his classic track Dice given the 2014 update work. Dice stormed on to the techno scene almost 2 years ago and was one that helped propel Mark into the limelight. He has since gone on to record for Cocoon, Drumcode and of course Soma since then, all big room smashers. 

Who best to open these reworks than Mark himself. While staying true to what made the original such a hit, Mark has actually managed to make this track even BIGGER. Heavy subs and a thumping kick drive this even more as the quirky vocal cut chops through the groovy percussion.

Swedish duo Manic Brothers step with their interpretation of Dice and easily make this own. They hit the dance floor with all guns blazing as a thunderous groove pile-drives home and one almighty break gives this version real power. 

This is big room Techno at its baddest!

Mark Reeve - Dice (Mark Reeve Remake)(Soma 403d)

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam’s stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo’s that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks each, consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode’s core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Dhillon - Lost - Drumcode - DC128

Catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? While we’re feeling the spirit of William S. Burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &ME went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category ‘dance track’ for this one.
The meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you’ll find on this A-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. The way he’s kneading the lower frequencies, how he’s channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. Good vocal-selection, for that matter! Then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season.
“Locust” on B comes in with some smoothly looped E-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. But then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up that’s ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. Two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. Or differently put: a flawless double-A-side.

MARK REEVE | Dice Remixes Part 2 [SOMA407D]

1.	Dice (Harvey McKay Remix)
2.	Dice (Pig & Dan Remix)

Part 2 of Mark Reeve’s Dice Remix package comes courtesy of 2 of Techno’s biggest names, Glasgow’s own Harvey McKay and the wonder duo of Pig & Dan. Both have turned in excellent interpretations of Mark’s storming original, each lending their own imitable style to the package.

Man of the moment, Harvey McKay steps up first and makes his remix, as ever, all about the rolling grooves. Choppy vocal cuts and solid percussion carve one funked up bassline out as Harvey slowly works in the original vocal sample backed by his own cuts while shard like rides slice through, taking the track up a notch. Subtle builds helps Harvey create tension before firing back into his sub-laden groove. Harvey’s real skill in this remix shines through in the arrangement that always seems to be increasing in pace, keeping the track interesting.

Taking things in a heavier route, the dynamic duo of Pig & Dan drop a blistering remix next. Pulsing low-end kick off their hypnotising remix which is layered nicely with skipping percussion and quick shots form Mark’s original vocal sample. Going into the break they add an almost discordant hook that keeps things eerie and dark. Subtle change in the percussion allows the track to flow as this version keeps proceedings firmly rooted in the dance floor. 

These two heavyweight names are a great addition to the previous instalment of this remix series that sees Dice make a fantastic return to the scene in 2014

Roberto Clementi | Lordpole (inc Patrick Walker Remix)
[SOMA405]

1. Lordpole
2. Lordpole (Patrick Walker Remix)
3. Didier

Roberto Clementi has firmly cemented himself in the Soma hall of fame. His debut album has been doing the damage as his signature meld of deep, trippy Techno & Electronics washes over the globe he is back with yet more of his top drawer production. Clementi toughens up this time with Lordpole that gently glides between the worlds of Dub & Techno. We are also happy to see a debut on Soma from one half of Edinburgh born techno outfit Forward Strategy Group, Patrick Walker.

Title track Lordpole is a typically chord driven, sub bass monster from Clementi. His perfectly crafted stabs are overlaid with just the perfect amount of reverb and delay to bring them to life, reminiscent of early Chain Reaction dub infectious melody. Roberto keeps the momentum going through pulsing kicks and razor sharp percussion

FSG’s Patrick Walker steps up next with his interpretation of Lorpole and keeps the vibe on the up and up! Clementi’s original is given a proper Techno workout by the Edinburgh native as he produces an all out stomp. The chords become more punishing and the percussion more subtle and a rocking kick drum destroys anything in its path. 

The EP is rounded off in perfect fashion as Roberto drops things down with the Dub Techno excursion of Didier. Tripped out synths and pads melt slowly around the track as pulsing sub bass round off the bottom end keeping a tightly produced deep Techno track in tow. Again, Clementi’s subtle use of percussion gives this a perfect late night or early morning vibe but this track is made by his expert use of effects on the synths. Swathes of reverb and delay produce perfect rhythmic elements in this understated EP closer 

Clementi never ceases to strive for perfection in his productions and balances his love of deep, organic music with more edgy Techno elements perfectly.

SECLUDED | Proceed (inc Samuel L Session Remix)
[SOMA410d]

1. Proceed
2. Focus
3. Proceed (Samuel L Session Remix)

Glasgow’s own Hans Bouffmyhre returns for his third outing on Soma under his Secluded EP with Proceed. Aimed more at the deeper end of Techno, the young producer keeps things dark and heavy with this alias and is no stranger to top notch Techno releasing a multitude of big room numbers though his own prolific Sleaze label among others. Proceed serves up two more chord driven monsters backed with an incredible Samuel L Session remix.

Secluded’s original version of Proceed gets things moving at an incredible pace as earth shattering drums rock in but almost instantly Secluded shows the deeper side this alias is known for as space like pads bring things back down to earth with rhythmic stabs keeps everything in check. Slowly the build begins in Detroit-esq minimalistic fashion before ride cymbals crash in, taking things up a notch. Proceed retains a solid groove throughout and really opens the EP with intent.

Focus serves up yet more delectable deep Techno with more emphasis on big, powerful chords. An effective DJ tool, Secluded works in slashing percussion to great effect while the distinctive chords keep the track driving through big drops.

Masterful Swedish producer Samuel L Session, who is no stranger to Soma, turns in a suitably big remix on Proceed. Samuel’s unique production style is quick off the mark as big and bouncing low end makes way to looped out, resonating chords that gently sweep their way in allowing subtle percussion the space needed to keep thing flowing rhythmically. Samuel really makes this remix his own with his refined production and delicate builds. 

Another Storming EP form the young Glasgow based producer who looks to be taking his Secluded live show on the road very soon

Written by Mitch Alexander:
The 41st release on Sound Avenue finds the Belgian imprint showcasing the winner's from the labels recent Han Haak 'Slaves In Transit' remix competition. The Original version was one of the standout selections on the labels 2013 Summer Sampler. The remix competition yielded several worthy submissions and after narrowing down nearly one hundred entries to ten label boss Dominique Heyninck began the arduous task of selecting the ones best suited to the ever evolving Sound Avenue umbrella. With a commissioned remix from Sebastian Markiewicz already in the bag the three competition winners chosen in the end were Mohn (NL), Phonic Scoupe and Matt Cahill. 
The first (and previously commissioned) remix is supplied by Sebastian Markiewicz who makes his Sound Avenue debut following three appearances on sister imprint Crossfade Sounds. The Polish producer's mammoth techno take on 'Slaves In Transit' shines with a tough granular groove, futuristic sound swells and apocalyptic overtones which are sure to be devastating on the darker dancefloors. 
Capturing the prestigious first place spot in the competition was Mohn (NL) who has already achieved some nice success with an appearance on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeats Volume 2 compilation which was released in June of this year. The Dutch producers inspired take on timeless techno has been perfectly captured once again on his 'Slaves In Transit' remix. It's shimmering keys and shifty tones are undeniably catchy and the blissful harmonic underbelly is the icing on the cake. A standout interpretation from a future star in the making. 
Second place in the competition went to the hugely up and coming Phonic Scoupe. In addition to a strong run of releases on Stripped Recordings the production trio has turned in several outstanding bootlegs this year. For their 'Slaves In Transit' interpretation Phonic Scoupe have turned in a deep and groovy rework which proves to be an excellent contrast to the previous more techno inspired mixes. It's elastic-like bass hooks, drifting soundscapes and expertly tailored electronics make for one of the best remixes of their career thus far.
Closing the release out is the third place winner and relative newcomer Matt Cahill. With no previously released productions Matt took a shot in the competition and scored big. His atmospheric tech house reconstruction proves to not only be a great addition to the package but the beginnings of a very promising production career.
