Cupcakes (Soma 2011)

Artist: Various Artists
Title: 10 Years Part One
Cat. Nr: HA120

Drinking to their tenth year in the game, Hive Audio enter 2022 with a celebratory compilation triptych featuring some of the finest names in the house and techno scenes. For this first salvo of incendiary wares bound to bring dance floors to a steady simmer, HA have gathered a stellar cast of big-guns and longtime affiliates including Seth Troxler, Anja Schneider, Steve Bug, Mathias Kaden, Gorge and Dario D'Attis. 

Anja Schneider's "Aperol Spritz" toasts first with a fuzzy mix of rolling 4x4 dynamics and sleek textured synth arpeggios. A paced-up number both lounge-ready yet lacking no oomph when a solid kickstart move is required, this one's better tasted on the rocks with a mini-umbrella in it. 

Old-school to the core, Dario D'Attis "Tanzstube" loops us in a turn-of-the-millennium filtered-house kind of headspace, replete with the soulful, sample-heavy hooks and end-to-end funky swagger bound to trigger some ravishing memories and create new ones amongst the dancers. 

A smashing, hard-shuffling workout hybridised with a Quadrant Dub type of distant lineage, Gorge's "Azami" goes for the epic-sized rather than the intimately acclimated. Primed for both hi-impact and long-distance use, this is gutsy stuff with enough stamina to withstand the most feverish of nights. 

Mathias Kaden's 303-boosted treat "Acid Trip" does exactly what's written on the tin, so expect a wild deluge of flickering new beat-informed rhythms, untamed drums and lysergic bass ellipses to keep you and your friends on the edge of mental sanity throughout.

Meanwhile, Seth Troxler's contribution "Crypto Slave" pulls out the sturdy bass leads and bouncy keyboard work for some fun roller-coaster action with something of a carefree, early 90s rave vibe to it. Ideal for gym-tonic sessions in your fav neon-coloured, form-hugging outfit. 

A most fitting manifesto of a tune, Steve Bug's overly suave "Let's Go" cuts a path of sense-awakening hedonism in the club with its battery of sizzling-hot bass, love-making-like churn and sensual pep talk oozing guilty pleasures ahead. 

Question is, are you ready?

Artist: MIHAI POPOVICIU
Release: HOME REMIXES PART 1 (incl. Remixes by: Steve Bug, James Dexter, Pornbugs & Dilby, Peter Makto & Gregory S)
Cat.No: BOND12041

Following on from his second long player, Romanian artist Mihai Popoviciu’s distinguished 2016 offering ‘Home’ is set to undergo a weighty four-part remix project, with remixes from Steve Bug, Kevin Yost, Sascha Dive, Tuccillo and more.

Mihai Popoviciu: 'The album’s called 'Home' because it is inspired by my experiences from my home city Sibiu in Romania. Home is also the place where the album was produced, in my stripped down studio. It is where I always return to rest and chill after touring the world and the place where I feel most safe and comfortable. The artwork shows an image of the airport lane in Sibiu with surrounding hills and mountains in the back. It is a metaphoric 'gate' to both leave and return home.'

With ‘Home’ gaining the attention and picking up support from the likes of Ryan Crosson, Luciano and Cesar Merveille, the Bondage-Music team now welcome to an array of talent to the label for 2017 as the LP is deconstructed and reworked across four brand new packages, with Part One dropping in early May.

Part One is opened by Poker Flat boss Steve Bug’s hazy interpretation of ‘Focus’, which floats effortlessly amongst precise drum work, subtle vocals and rich chords. 

Next Up, Pornbugs & Dilby serve up a classy rework of ‘Sunshine’ by utilizing the originals dubby atmospherics and laying the focus on a rolling, deep lying groove, before Peter Makto & Gregory S unveil their minimal yet emotive remix of ‘Data On Data’.

Serving as a digital bonus, UK talent James Dexter reworks Popoviciu’s stripped back ‘ACK’ through a combination of intricate organic percussion patterns, deep sub tones and elusive, wavering background nuances, punctuating an excellent package to kick start the series.

Set to feature on Parts Two, Three and Four are: Tuccillo, El Mundo, Sascha Dive, Kevin Yost, André Hommen, Kike Mayor, Toygun, Muui, Pablo Bolivar, Martin Aquino, Schlepp Geist & Krink and Sven Tasnadi.

Martin Buttrich -  I'm Going There One Day

It’s both ironic and fitting that one of our final releases of the year is called, “The Future”. Created by Tom Flynn and featuring the vocals of Detroit’s illustrious artist, Amp Fiddler, the track carries the obvious name connotation, and the magnificent and dreamy piano leads accompanying the subdued and consistent beats is also a sound that hasn’t been prevalent in the label’s past, but a sign of the diversity to come.

Claude VonStroke loved the song so much that it inspired him to offer his own interpretation, fueling a driving experience by Amp’s perfectly placed vocal bits.

The Future is officially now.
