Michael Ashe - I Don't Know

Let me just speak to you
Been meaning to tell you
Been wanting to hold you
I'm longing to be with you

Let me just ask if you
Ask if you want me to
You Know that I'm into you
I've always been into you

The days come and go
Yet I'm still thinking of you
I'm thinking of what you do
Do you think of me too

When i close my eyes
I'm always seeing you
I'll always be with you
I don't know what to do

I don't know...

I Don't Know

Short info:

After Carlos Nilmmns enthralled us with his expressive True Chemistry EP, Circus Company is delighted to welcome a new character into the fold in the form of fast-rising German artist Borrowed Identity. Based in the Southern town of Freiburg im Breisgau, in just a few years he has already released scores of singles for labels as respected as Quintessentials, Fina, Home Taping Is Killing Music and Mistress.

The Borrowed Identity sound is direct and uncomplicated, using classic house and techno styles and applying them to dynamic arrangements that showcase a confident set of studio skills and a deep understanding of what excites the expectant dancer. Across the four tracks on the XXX EP, the perfect balance is struck between powerful rhythmic commands and psychoactive decoration, combining everything needed for a memorable club cut.

“Adictive” leaps out at the listener thanks to the sweeping piano hook and subby bassline, while “Trans Trans Trans” brings a purposefully old-school feeling with its stark square wave synth lines and sleazy vocal groans. Regular Borrowed Identity collaborator Mechanical Soul Brother lends a hand to “The Scene”, which piles on the late night tension with its tightly wound chord stabs and rolling drums, before “Life” showcases a more eclectic side to our latest signing thanks to a bongo-infused percussive throwdown and an uplifting dose of acid.

Every one of these tracks brims with infectious energy, channeling the traditions of peak-time house and techno into a thoroughly modern approach that celebrates the instant gratification of a kick-ass dancefloor weapon, without compromising on that all-important soul.

The name Pale Blue references “Pale Blue Dot,” Carl Sagan’s remark on the photograph of planet Earth taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990. This new project was conceived around the time that Hurricane Sandy hit New York and came to completion with Mike Simonetti’s severance from Italians.  Thus, many of the tracks that make up The Past We Leave Behind grapple with themes of loss and new beginnings.

The Past… encompasses a myriad of sonic elements, ranging from rhythmic, melodic techno to atmospheric ambient productions, while also incorporating Simonetti’s varied background in noise, drone, and even experimental dream pop. Above it all though, Liz Wight’s vocals remain the focal point, saturating the record with a lush melodic warmth that’s so often missing in the electronic world.

Peckham based Ears Have Eyes records are proud to announce their third release, which will be arriving in late November on wax and digital. Bringing together two artists, both close friends of the label, whose sounds perfectly compliment each other.

On the A side we have the master of dubby house music Chocky. The EP opens up with the lush pianos of “Tool Time” setting a beautiful, melancholic tone. Next up Chocky changes the mood significantly with the stripped down, pent up dub-house of “Ooo”.

Over on the flip Tilman serves up three excellent cuts, each with a sharply contrasting feel. First up he delivers the mad, churning acid of “Sculptures”. From here we have a short, disco interlude with “The Way You Do” and then finally rounding off the proceedings with the warm and open house of “Root Segments”

Since last year, St. Petersburg based Babak is getting essential as a part of our team. Now our friend just wasted some time getting back on the wagon with his third EP for us, Invisible Senses.

There's no need for a long description here, expect loads of smart sampling, fresh groovie patterns and a bunch of joy. Surely this EP will reach the same cruising altitude as previous works, but our boy is like a good wine, he is getting better with the age!

Babak - Mon Repos

Henry Saiz - Secrets (Original Mix)

Deeply loveable Parisian label Antinote has been blurring music's lines since their 2012 conception, with the diverse releases that have prospered from their base within the city's 11ème arrondissement walls. Not one given selection from Antinote's vaults has made for dull listening – from Iueke's cassette-only techno and Geena's explosive house, to Syracusee's soda pop and the frank exploration of human fragility in Nico Motte's Life Goes On If You Are Lucky.

Antinote now welcomes back the versatile DJ, producer and experimentalist, D.K. (Dang Khoa Chau), for his second release with the imprint, Island of Dreams. D.K.'s self-ascribed aesthetic influences come from 1980s and 1990s digital culture – Super Nintendo, American teen movies on VHS, Daryl Hall and John Oates on MTV – these of which he transposes into a musical idiom of dated synth melodies, power keyboard chords, tropical drum machine rhythms and raw bass lines. These are exhibited comprehensively on today's Debut, and the only house-y tip of the record, "Raindrops". A feel-good track totally retrospective in nature, "Raindrops" tails off the synthetic, virtu-real world of D.K.'s Island of Dreams with the utmost satisfaction.

D.K.'s Island of Dreams drops on March 4th. 

Pre-Order

D.K. "Raindrops" - Boiler Room Debuts

Fatima Yamaha - Love Invaders

Artist: thatmanmonkz
Title: Columbusing
Release Date: (Vinyl) / (Digital)
Format: Double Vinyl / CD / Digital
Cat No: DOGLP06 / DOGCD06/ DOGDLP06

Following two EP releases on Delusions Of Grandeur the time felt right for thatmanmonkz to get working on his debut LP. The Sheffield b-boy is no newcomer to production having been releasing music since the mid-noughties but has seen a definite rise in interest the last few years following essential releases on his own Shadeleaf label as well as remixes and productions for the likes of Classic, Kolour LTD and Kon’s StarTime.

With his first musical love being Hip Hop it’s easy to understand how his approach to house turns out so refreshing. Inevitably MPC’s, big, bold samples, Jay Dee inspired grooves and a raw, underproduced sound all play a big part and never one to shy away from an interesting collaboration he has enlisted the skills of several vocalists including Detroit MC Ta‘raach (whose credits include Slum Village and Jill Scott), Erik Rico (collabs include Ron Trent and DJ Spinna), Khalil, Dave Aju, Pete Simpson (as A Brother Is...) and Malik Ameer.

Things kick off with a low-slung soul jam entitled Air featuring Kahil Anthony complete with sparkling Rhodes arps and a dub-wise bassline underpinning a beautifully lazy groove. Jus Anutha Wunna Deez follows with a rough and ready house jam that clearly doffs its cap to those old Sound Signature and Mahogoni Music releases we know and love so much. Next up we have Boogie Down with Erik Rico rocking some Parliament inspired vocal business bringing the feelgood vibes to this rolling P-Funker. Some Ol’ Nex’ Ish goes for a jazz samba meets house fusion whilst A Fly New Tune goes strictly old school with a classic combo of dusty break, filtered fusion rhodes n bass sample, movie dialogue snippets and a masterful flow delivered by Ta’raach. Dave Aju steps up next on Turn It Out laying down a unison vocal refrain to compliment the bumping disco groove complete with a call and response section for some singalong party participation!

As we continue, Another Night Under The Glitterball sees thatmanmonkz back in familiar territory with a rock solid, deep jazz-house jam. On I Can Hardly Breathe we’re treated to a downtempo gospel-infused affair which leads us perfectly into the most bumpy club- friendly track of the LP For Bae. Moon On The Hill is a collaboration with Italian DJ Kali and his Raw Standard crew and treats us to some distinctly mid 90’s Kruder and Dorfmeister vibes to zone out to before heading off in an altogether more bonkers, psychedelic dancehall direction on Vampires. Baked is another classy thatmanmonkz take on Hip Hop featuring Malik Ameer on the mic. Take U 2 My House sounds like something Prince might have made in the mid-80’s if he’d just come off a 3 day bender at Panorama Bar. And closing the show in perfect style and fashion we have For Those I’ve Lost Along The Way which is a blunted yet beautifully optimistic number that has echoes of Lonnie Liston Smith and a brilliant spiritual vocal sample which provides the perfect closer to an amazing debut LP.

LA-based producer Small Pyramids cuts a fine line in melodic, melancholic house music, with an album and two EPs on the long-running imprint Glasgow Underground showing his chops a few years ago. He’s back for 2016 with two lush productions on our label: the hushed, twinkling deep house tones of Destiny and the unabashedly joyous You Were Mine. Label boss Ben Gomori provides a more peak-time interpretation of Destiny, with a dub of the original in the package to boot.

Small Pyramids - Destiny (Ben Gomori's In Control Remix) [Monologues Records] -128kbps lo-fi version

Out now on 2LP/CD/Digital
https://hypercolour-records.bandcamp.com/album/you-exist

Hypercolour proudly announce the latest long player from UK stalwart, Ed DMX AKA DMX Krew, the visionary British electronic producer who has been responsible for a slew of excellent releases for labels like Rephlex, Spectral Sound, Permanent Vacation and his own Breakin’ Records and Fresh Up Records since the mid 1990s.

‘You Exist’ is DMX Krew’s debut appearance on Hypercolour, and as expected the record features nine tracks of beautifully crafted, melodic electronic sounds.  From the opener ‘Spiritual Encounter’, DMX sets the tone perfectly with oodles of pitch perfect synth riffs and driving drums, working his way through snappy and bright pop moments like ‘Hard Copy’ to more melancholic, darker cuts like ‘Computational Paradigm Shift’.  DMX breezes in and out of electro techno territory to more contemplative IDM vibes with ease, testimony to the guy’s talent (that’s also seen him wear the hat of over 10 aliases throughout his career to date).

‘You Exist’ captures a very true and genuine musical form, produced and delivered with love from one of the scene’s unsung heroes, and makes it a great companion piece to another Hypercolour released album from similar stock (take your pick from Luke Vibert’s 2014 ‘Ridmik’ album or his latest Kerrier District LP).  A consistent and engaging album then from DMX Krew that will pleasure the ear buds of discerning listeners everywhere.

Lovin'

PREMIERE : Loz Goddard - Lovin' [Razor-n-Tape Reserve]

Buy/Stream: https://Anjunadeep.lnk.to/HaveYouEver
Release Date: 4th March 2016

Berlin’s Martin Roth returns with ‘Have You Ever’, a highlight from 2015’s iTunes Dance #1 album ‘Anjunadeep 07’.

A fan favourite with label classics like ‘Beautiful Life’ and ‘Deep Style’ in his discography, Roth show’s off his playful side in ‘Have You Ever’, his first original release since 2014’s ‘Mel / Maya’. An off-beat groove paired with inventive percussion drives beneath soaring pads and steel drum chimes to great effect, but it’s the DJ Koze-esque stuttering vocal sample that steals the show in this unique melodic gem.
