Delsin Records' Inertia series is back with a powerful four tracker from Yan Cook. The producer from Ukraine has also released Delsin’s main label and associated Ann Aimee, as well as Planet Rhythm and Cooked. He makes straight up techno that arrests your attention and does just that again here. 

'Toucan' is first and is a spangled, underwater techno track with gurgling lines wrapping round shuffling percussion and insistent drums. It's one to get into your head, while 'Puffin' is more physical, with more warped synths and paddy drums woven together into a fluid, rippling groove that never lets up. The drums on 'Dialogue' are deep and land with real resonance while dubby chords rattling out to the horizon. Last of all 'Flamingo' is the most manic of the lot, with hi speed synths and booming drums all coming together to make for powerful, sub shaking and room filling techno madness.

Tale   Of   Us   breathe   new   life   into   their   acclaimed   'Endless'   LP   on   Deutsche   Grammophon,   enlisting   a diverse   set   of   remixers   to   interpret   the   compositions.   The   album’s   celestial   atmospherics   and   classical melodies   provide   rich   source   material   for   the   eleven   remixers,   whose   contributions   range   from   serene ambience   to   barrelling   techno.

Beginning   with   Kiasmos’   version   of   ‘Notte   Senza   Fine’,   the   record   continues   with   similarly   dreamy   and delicate   house   music   from   Giegling   duo   Kettenkarussell   and   Sebastian   Mullaert   (of   Minilogue   fame).   All in   all,   ‘Endless   Remixes’   lives   up   to   the   quality   of   the   original   album   and   takes   it   in   fascinating   and effective   new   directions.

B1 Nima Khak - Reality Surpasses Fiction (Cari Lekebusch RMX)

Format: Vinyl 12”
Cat: outis012
Label: Outis Music
Artist: Luigi Tozzi
Title: Ecate

Release Date: 16/04/2018

Distribuited by WAS

A year on from Luigi Tozzi and label head Dino Sabatini’s collaborative Manticora EP Outis return with a striking, singular solo work from Tozzi. Ecate EP sees the Roman producer bringing three distinct slices of techno, each with its own set of subtleties and the crystal, adept sound design that defines Tozzi’s work. Spanning the A-side is Ecate. This title track is rolling and hypnotic with muscular, percussive bass. Throughout the track, angelic chords come and go, washing the listener in euphoria. Alongside, we hear a disorienting melody, grounded by the lightly swung four to the floor kick that gives this track an infectious groove. The flip opens with Leto, which immediately defines itself as a club trackwith an unbroken but evolving set of percussion and a weighty kick. It’s around this kick that other elements build. We hear long, ringing, resonant string sounds and a bell like melody morph and unfold as other percussive components come and go. The track falls away into atmospheric eeriness, which perfectly sets the stage for the EP’s finale. Esperede’s swung, panning drums give it a disorienting feeling of otherworldliness from the get go. This is before you’re greeted by an alien, slightly dubbed out melody and a hanting backing drone that feels like a reference (perhaps in opposition) to the angelic chords of the EP’s first track. It’s on this closing track that Tozzi’s delicate, expert sound design best shines through.

[OUTIS012] Luigi Tozzi - Ecate

Vi speglar oss i en skärva av is
Som smälter om våren
Inget blir någonsin det samma
Vi dansar i vårleldens flamma
Hur de gamla löven brann bort
Oh vi minns att den här vintern kändes inte kort
Men det känns alltid bra på något vis
När vi dansar i lågor av fjolårets ris

"Oblique is proud to present it's second Various Artists EP by friends we have met years ago online.

Before we had our first releases, we would upload our music to Soundcloud and these guys were always on my radar to check instantly. Besides inspiring me, their comments and feedback were invaluable to my growth as a producer. 

Fast-forward a few years and everyone has grown in their own way, with multiple releases, labels and parties to emerge. The platforms have changed, but the connection did not, hence the idea to reunite them on wax :)

The EP shows four different takes on hypnotic techno, starting with the driving and slowly morphing "Radiate" from Kaelan, followed by the intense mindbender "The Nomad" from Antonio Vázquez. 
On the flipside we go more atmospheric with Refracted showcasing his expert sound manipulation on "Uku Che". Ending the EP is the subtlely layered and ultra deep "Ditoan" from Alan Backdrop."

Premiere: L.B. Dub Corp - Bass Machine

May sees Luke Slater return to his Mote-Evolver imprint under his L.B.Dub Corp guise with an album entitled ‘Side Effects’.

Reflecting on a career spanning three decades, Luke Slater is a true dance music legend. The British producer has not only been pivotal in the rise of techno but his work continues to play a vital role in driving the genre forward, particularly under his Planetary Assault Systems name. Following its launch in 2006, Slater’s L.B.Dub Corp moniker has been responsible for refreshing house music on labels like Mote-Evolver and Ostgut Ton, with the latter hosting the pseudonym’s debut album in 2013. ‘Side Effects’ is the project’s first body of work since then.

“I wrote the tracks over the last year between being on the road as P.A.S. and playing a few L.B.Dub Corp house sets, which naturally evolved into ‘Side Effects’ almost accidentally” – Luke Slater

Crashing stabs and a rolling hook inaugurate the album in ‘Reel One’ before the meandering ‘Night Time Hawk’ demonstrates effervescent effects and bursts of white noise. Commanding kicks and a moody bassline make up the robust ‘Edge 7’ whilst ‘IELBEE’ exhibits a bouncy aesthetic complete with intricate melodies. ‘Float When You Can’ is dark and ominous from the off but an echoing note sequence adds a glimmer of light, making way for the reverberating mechanics of ‘Bass Machine’ before leading into the ghostly and twisted ‘Forever In A Day’. ‘LBEES Jam’ is the most lighthearted track on the album with its twinkling lead melody, moving into a soulful and vocal driven affair named ‘See The Light’ until things get dusky and percussive in ‘We Are Going Home’. Finally, Slater rounds off the release with the intricate snaking cut ‘Calling The Spirit’.

Sublunar, the record label founded by Sciahri and Dagdrom last year starts his 2018 with a brand new EP from the Berlin based artist Refracted, known for his releases on Semantica, Pole Group, Silent Season and Mind Express.
 
This 12″ perfectly represent how his style has been crafted during these years, a balanced mixture between his incredible ear for detail, tunnelling trips and tougher beats.

 The EP starts with Vórtice and as the title says you will encounter a complex vortex of tribalist percussion, a mindblowing headtrip with plenty of moving parts slowly progressing across its eight minutes.  Ray it’s a full immersion into a trippy atmosphere with an high detailed percussive accompaniment, the result is a display of power and finesse.  Meta gives the title to the 12″ and shows to the listener a full overview of the skills hidden into Refracted’s repertoire. A tune that it’s constantly evolving over his runtime where a pressurized kickdrum push the tension higher after every beat.  Meridian, the closing track, stands out for its adventurous sound design, featuring an endlessly pulsating environment where everything is floating delicately in suspension.
