For Cadenzaʼs latest output, the imprint serve up something a little different from usual with a versus Ep from two astonishingly contrasting yet equally prominent artists within electronic music. No remixes or reinterpretations are to be seen but instead, a meeting of minds between Mirko Loko and Stacey Pullen with ʻDeux Élémentsʼ. Titled in fitting reflection of the combination of Swiss born Mirko Loko and Detroit innovator Stacey Pullen, this two track cut is as its name projects in all musical and conceptual aspects. Whilst Mirko Loko is by no means new to Cadenza after releasing his highly praised ʻSeventynineʼ Album on the label in 2009, Stacey Pullen is a fresh Cadenza artist that the label couldnʼt be more excited to have aboard...This is ʻDeux Élémentsʼ. 

The Epʼs first piece is “Formulaic Modeʼ, a twisted combination of chaotic clicks merged with underlying melodies and a serene ambience of calm. At first glance “Formulaic Mode” coaxes into techno territory as tinny highʼs and hazy kicks dominate the bubbling and electronically sparked vocal snippets. Progressing further into a solid techno realm, drums crash and the stomp evolves; thereʼs no doubt at this stage, “Formulaic Mode” is techno in the truest sense. Subtley though, mystical string arrangements invade the march and envelope it so gently that as our feet continue to, our hearts are tugged by crying violin strings and our minds melt from within. A unique layering of conflicting themes, “Formulaic Mode” works magically. 

Flipping over to the B-side, Mirko and Stacey present ʼTronic Illusionʼ next, working with the same intelligent concept of tones and scenes as “Formulaic Mode”, our flitting journey starts all over again. Fuelled by an underlying groove and percussive wooden rhythm sections, “Tonic Illusion” flirts with thundering house vibes and subdued drawn out choral chants. Constantly unfolding, “Tonic Illusions” long shimmering hats and stabbing crunchy elements weave in and out, ensuring we are continuously entertained whilst floating effortlessly from beginning to end. 

The atmosphere that ʻDeux Élémentsʼ evokes with these two starkly different soundscapes is unique and intriguing - a combination of two strikingly different artists in a surprising and bounding release from Cadenza.

Martyn is falling for Ostgut Ton with his new EP.

After having remixed Shed's “Another Wedged Chicken” (2009) and contributed “Miniluv” to Ben Klock's ‘Berghain 04’ (2010) we're happy to finally offer a Martyn solo 12" on Ostgut Ton. Winter may be coming by the time of release, but this record has club-meets-afterhour-meets-summer's-day written all over it.

Describing themselves as “house music maestros and urban nomads; entrepreneurs and autonomous anarchic creators”, Gadi and Zev aka Wolf + Lamb are innovative and unique producers and DJs, creating and playing passionate music that moves hearts, not just feet. The duo has crafted a distinct niche for themselves while nurturing a collective of artists with similarly singular approaches, including their brothers in Crew Love, Soul Clap. Representing a laid-back dance sound in electronic music, the collective embodies the melding of influences from contemporary music, vintage and beyond.

Sultry and sleazy with a commanding vocal and an evolving synth line that slowly takes over, ‘After We’re Gone’ is a perfect marriage between classic and contemporary. Accompanied with the Higher Power Dub and Accapella versions, this package also includes a shiny new remix from Lowheads. Keeping things New York flavoured, Lowheads go deeper with a brooding bassline and a wall of cinematic synth. It’s a more introverted take of the original, putting the icing on this irresistible Wolf + Lamb cake.
