André Lodemann - Vehemence Of Silence (Motor City Drum Ensemble Perspective)

Three artists riding high off career-peak years combining for some darkly alluring techno? Yes please. Well, Clockwork and Avatism’s pairing isn’t strictly new, but they’ve been picking up a considerable head of steam under the CW/A moniker in recent months – including a booking at perhaps the last Fabric NYE of the pre-sniffer, pre-breathalyser era – and this release is their largest statement to date.  

We could have plumped for a typically unblinking edit from Lucy, but pulled Ilian Tape don Dario Zenker’s remix out the bag instead. He flattens the landscape of the title track, shelling claps down like pintacks to keep the pace choppy and brisk. It’s a good’un, and it sees release on Parachute Records next month.

After the overwhelming reactions on the Duo Tone EP - their debut together for Music Man - it won't come as a surprise that Petar Dundov and Gregor Tresher got back in the studio together for more! Their sound fits amazingly well together! The result is again two blinding melodic techno tracks that will definitely appeal to fans of both of them.

Ben Mix - 14 Sept 2010

“The idea behind the mix is to present two different insights into my musical repertoire. Tracks I like to play in the club and tracks I like to play at home. From old school to new school.”

Robert Dietz - 2012

Forward thinking electronic exponents Arkitekt announce their first compilation release after a selection of parties in London, Leeds and Birmingham promoted their sound. Focusing on the more forward thinking strains of house and techno, their musical mandate has been to gleefully plunder the underground elements of the modern dance clime, with stripped back grooves riding against warm melodies and textures.

The first man stepping up the Arkitekt palette is Robert Dietz. The German DJ cut his teeth on the Frankfurt arena of Deutsch dance, coming from no-where in 2009 to ensnare one of Beatportal’s Artists to Watch. Since then his rise has been apocalyptic and relentless, recording for stellar imprints such as Cecille, Cadenza, Deep Vibes, Running Back and Saved Records. He’s crafted a trademark sound, built on pure house and infused it with the sensibilities of contemporary club culture.

It’s a pedigree which has made him one of the most versatile and in-demand DJs on the planet. He delivers achingly next level voyages in the underground basements of Shoreditch, Berlin and Eastern Europe but also has the ability to seduce mainstream arenas like Awakenings, Electric Zoo, Exit Festival, Ushuaia and Pacha with his underground aesthetic. And it is that intoxicating template that is evident all over this double disc spanning mix.

Disc 1 focuses on the more underground and techier side of Robert’s tastes, aptly titled ‘Club Hours’. It fizzes along with a sea of clicks and whirs as it ripples from the gentle menace of the 2012 update Butane’s ‘A Rave Mistake’ into the shuffling tones of Trickski’s brilliantly monikered ‘Brazzavillage Dance Commando’.

Elsewhere tracks from killer producers such as Davide Squillace, Sascha Dive and Ricardo Villalobos take the mix slowly into deeper realms of energy, before it ends on a flourish with the mechanical Detroit edge of Ben Nevile’s ‘Awshashen’.

Disc 2 is a more expansive affair with the deeper side of the Dietz spectrum in full effect as he takes the listener ‘After-hours’. The synth stabs and tribal percussion of ZPH ‘Popshit‘ lay the battle lines down emphatically for where it’s heading, delivering a mix to work just as well on the headphones as it does on the dancefloor.

There’s gorgeous deep house of an atmospheric nature from Boo Williams with ‘Peaking Point’, the melancholy grooves of Dale Howard’s ‘Bubbz’ and the Underground Resistance meets basic Channel vibes of Leonel Castillo’s ‘1974’. The sublime wonder of Lil Tony’s ‘Employee Only’, a lustrous concoction of soaring melodies and robotic clicks, brings the collection to a glorious end.

Following the release of the compilation, Robert will be back on the road, taking in performances at some of the world’s premier clubs. Heading first to Asia, Robert will be touching down in Singapore for a show at Zouk before then making his way onto Tokyo to play Ageha. Next up he will jetting over to the Americas with gigs in Santiago de Chile, Caracas and then New York for Halloween. Robert will also be making appearances in Moscow and London so don’t miss your chance to experience this ever evolving artist in the flesh.

<p>So it is! Spaniard well known producers Gabriel DOr &amp; Bordoy put out their debut EP on Phobiq Recordings. This EP is an exciting ride into pure techno. The original mix of Element 84 is a techno anthem, wrapping with hypnotic strings over a deep bounce. Based as well in Madrid, Alex Under takes control with a massive remix on the first original. Alexs remix on Element 84 is a heavy techno hybrid, with a rolling percussion that really does the damage. The EP finishes with Metrik Expansion which is a techno territory, propelled with dark bassline all over. This EP is overflowed with energy and will definitely rock the dancefloors, plus the remix makes sure to find admirers too.</p>
