The follow up EP to Yellow Claw’s epic Jeffree’s debut, Amsterdam Twerk Music cleans up your definition of “dirty” just so they can strip it down to booty claps and bass rolls. The first track, “DJ Turn It Up” is a subtle dance floor anthem reminiscent of the heavy bass from your nostalgic middle school days of grinding to timeless hip-hop anthems.

On the second track, Yellow Claw teams up with Tropkillaz and The Kemist to bring us “Assets,” a track that twists its vocals in a way that winds through the most bass-hungry, whimsical quarter of your imagination. “P*$$YRICH feat. Adje” then transports you deeper into Yellow Claw’s bass dungeon, leaving its victims up against the walls bumping and grinding till sunrise.

Amsterdam Twerk Music concludes with “Slow Down”, an addictive baseline paired with a jock-jams reminiscent hook. Yellow Claw are the tastemakers of guilty pleasure. But lets be honest… there’s no guilt attached to the obsession.

Although revered within the underground scene, STL has always kept a low profile and consistently pursued his own blend of boundary pushing abstract and experimental House & Techno. The majority of his music has been released through his own ‘Something’ imprint but his unique productions have also found a home on Perlon, Smallville and Detroit’s Echospace. The two tracks on his just released ‘The Amplified Bleep Package’ EP serve as a new weapon for London label Phonica White.

The Amplified Bleep Package EP is out now on Phonica White. You can find it here: http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/stl-amplified-bleep-package-ep-phonica-white/134736

Frak are Björn Isgren, Johan Sturesson and Jan Svensson, a trio of synthesizer lovers from Sweden. The band was formed when Svensson and Isgren’s older sisters were best friends and they introduced their little brothers to each other. Inspired by Severed Heads, DAF, Human League, Devo, Skinny Puppy, the boys began collecting analog equipment and started Studio Styrka. While the band were still in their early teens they released the first FRAK cassette album in 1987 on their own record label Börft.

Almost 30 years later, FRAK continue to release their bizarre brand of Scandinavian techno with their debut release on Dark Entries. “Sudden Haircut” was recorded in 2015, a ten-minute brooding, heavy hitting acid attack full of 808 drum claps aimed at the dance floor. The three remaining songs come from a studio tape the band found in their archives named 'FRAK "After The Silence" 2001-2010' “Synthgök” and “Synthfrilla” were recorded in 2010 and originally released on the ‘Börft’ EP by Sex Tags Mania in 2012. Utilizing a 808, 303, 101 and MS-10, both are supreme cuts of electro-leaning acid techno that perfectly fit the dancefloor's sweatiest moments. The deliciously rugged final track “First Glimt I Ögat” is a vintage unreleased Frak song from 2001.

All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Designer Eloise Leigh has created a playful DIY jacket based on a mysterious black and white photo of the band in their classic tin foil masks. Each copy comes with a black and white postcard featuring a distorted back stage photo of FRAK in their teens. “Forget all you know about Swedish electronic music, this is Börft crew, the core underground of "söta bror's" techno history - here represented by Frak - a full out techno acid punch.” - Juno Records

Sudden Haircut

NEWS > http://inverted-audio.com/premiere-suzanne-kraft-dj-safety-track/

Double-triggering elephantine kicks with porcelain-fragile bells, @suzannekraft arrays his ever-reliable finesse tune-making via a nuanced blend of sizzling bassline and iridescent synth accents. Lead-heavy summery vibes right here!



Suzanne Kraft - DJ Safety Track [Kitjen]

The tree sat atop the far away hill amidst a sea of long green grass and reeds. In the distance the child could be seen swinging from one of the tallest branches, heaven knows how he had made it so high. All that could be seen was his shadow against the darkening afternoon sky as he swang to and fro. No ladder would reach as far up as to bring him down. All of a sudden the tree let our a solemn creak, it began to talk and whispered to the crowd which had gathered beneath the swinging child. It spoke...

"Burn me down, bring him home."

Based over the pond Suzanne Kraft has done a very good job of raising his profile in Europe. His sound fits perfectly on labels such as ESP, Melody As Truth, Running Back and now Kitjen. This latest effort sees him amp things up a tad as he releases three dance floor targeted tracks on the 'DJ Safety' EP.

PREMIERE: Suzanne Kraft - Burn Me Down [Kitjen]

Call Super never takes the safe road. The London but now Berlin based DJ and musician has carved out his own place in the landscape of electronic music. He dares to challenge his audiences to the fullest with brittle percussive chaos, off-kilter bass lines and haunted, esoteric melodies. His strength most definitely lies in his variety, both playing and producing music that draws from early Perlon bliss and bone-crushing-missile-techno. After producing one of the standout LPs of 2014 (the critically acclaimed Suzi Ecto), cooking up a Dekmantel Podcast and performing at last year’s festival, Call Super now makes his Dekmantel Records debut.

Nervous Sex Traffic’s title gets you off on the wrong foot. A nine-minute long house odyssey, Call Super wraps your head around brain warming chord progressions and an organic sub-bass that keeps on giving. Subtle, progressive, mind-blowing. Mount Grace on the other hand, draws from a clanking, industrial sound palette. Endlessly deep, spacious and dub-heavy, this electro inspired excursion teases the bass synth in slowly, but starts to go wild as the music builds up.

DKMNTL033 // Call Super - Nervous Sex Traffic

Suzanne Kraft's ambient LP "Talk From Home" and his EP released as Dude Energy were definitely some of 2015's highlights. The LA producer returns this month with the "DJ Safety" EP released via Stuttgart label Kitjen, who had previously welcomed Hotel Lauer, Tambien and Shit Robot. This time Diego Herrera offers three beautifully crafted house jams, including the phlegmatic Japanese-inspired "Skype". As usual with Suzanne Kraft, the production is flawless : a steady beat, a mesmeric bass line, dreamy pads, a clever use of the delay, Herrera knows how to tell a story. Mind-blowing and already essential, out on March 28th !

Peckham's finest are back with another 12" custom built for discerning dancers. The SE15 label have looked to Poland for inspiration again and returned to the pool hall with a ridiculously good pair of subtle low-key rollers that traverse ethereal, barely-there house territory in the best way possible. 

Comprised of Baltic-Balearic-Beat legend Bartosz Kruczynski and the man normally known as Matat Professionals, Earth Trax and Newborn Jr's  debut EP for the label, Sax & Flute, beams into the world on October the 14th. 

Being kind souls, we've decided to let you have a listen to the A-side. Stream it right now! Yes, right now! Right this second!

Rhythm Section look to Poland once more for two of the most uplifting tracks of the year. Earth Trax (known for his productions as The Phantom & one half of Ptaki) and newcomer Newborn Junior pull two absolute classics out of the bag here that do what they say on the tin. Both Sax Track and Flute Track centre around ecstatic MIDI melodies on (you guessed it) Saxophone and Flute! Falling somewhere between the late night deep house excursions of Ron Trent (circa Morning Factory era) and more recent retro-leaning breakbeat driven output from the Pender Street Steppers et al, the Sax & Flute EP is a masterclass in sustain-release. Euphoria Guaranteed - or your money back!

Sax & Flute

Earth Trax X Newborn Jr. - Flute Track

Skatebård (aka Bård Aasen Lødemel) is warmly welcomed back to the Bordello. Following 2013´s Love in the Night comes a 12” of quite a different hue. Colour Negatives collects three brand new tracks from the Digitalo founder. The late night rave funk session of “Fujicolor Pro 400H” spikes and spins on beams of concentrated energy. Those same infectious hooks dawn into the flip. “Agfachrome RSX II” is bright, clean and joy filled; Skatebård delivering pure goodness to nurture any bodies beginning to flag. Paranoia and the break of day enters with “Kodak Portra 800”, a minimal two stepping demon that cuts like vinegar. Shape shifting synthesizer sounds from an artist who simply ignores genres.
