ALAN FITZPATRICK - TRUANT - COR12118

Alan Fitzpatrick
Moon Palace 
(Bedrock Digital) Beddigi-11

Those of you with a good memory for a great tune will, no doubt, remember Alan Fitzpatrick’s Reflections (Bed82) from 2009 as an anthem of the highest order, and an ‘Essential New Tune’ for Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. So, it’s an honour to have him back on Bedrock in 2011 with yet another monster single release - Moon Palace.

From the majestic drum-fuelled opening bars and the lush powerhouse hypnotic techno attitude as Moon Palace builds towards its first gorgeous crescendo, the sheer melodic beauty of Alan Fitzpatrick’s creativity sets this track head and shoulders above the rest. No remixes, no versions, just one stunning single track. Alan Fitzpatrick has created something very special indeed in Moon Palace.

The continued rise of Alan Fitzpatrick is the biggest story in UK techno right now. Having enjoyed a rapid ascent since his emergence as the new kid on the techno block in the latter half of 2009, Fitzpatrick now enjoys a status as a highly respected and in-demand producer. By releasing his debut album for Adam Beyer’s globally renowned Drumcode label, Alan became the first act to record an album on Drumcode since 2005. 

The well-received ‘Shadows In The Dark’ long-player marked the culmination of a run of productions that have seen Fitzpatrick publicly name-checked as a one of the most exciting producers in techno by Adam Beyer, John Digweed, Dubfire, Carl Cox and Len Faki. Indeed, such has been Fitzpatrick’s dominance of the techno scene in the last eighteen months that his productions have regularly filled the top positions of Beatport’s techno Top 100 chart at the same time. Now, with his return to the Bedrock label, it’s time for Moon Palace to fly.

Debuting on Kompakt with a masterfully twisted remix of Gui Boratto's "Take Control" (KOMPAKT 302) in 2014, Miami-based DJ/Producer DANNY DAZE had already made himself a name with outings on tastemaking labels like Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio, Ultramajic or Miami's very own Omnidisc - but it was the raw and muscular SPEICHER 80 that really opened up our receptors. Danny's recipe for bendy, electro- infused techno turned out to be insanely catchy and ripe with bass, a bold, futuristic and funky vision for the dancing floor that finds a brilliant follow-up in his latest outing: two new exercises in off-the-cuff mayhem grace SPEICHER 91, with face-melting uber- jam SWIM kicking off a weird and wonderful parade of synth riffs, belting beats and pure arpeggio anarchy - while the flipside is held hostage by the razor-sharp, robotic funk of MACHINE, Danny's second collaboration with TRANSLUCENT for Speicher after the hard-hitting "Speaker Language" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 80).

Schon vor seinem Kompakt-Debüt mit einem meisterhaft verzwirbelten Remix für Gui Boratto's "Take Control" (KOMPAKT 302) hatte sich Miami's DANNY DAZE mit Veröffentlichungen auf so illustren Plattformen wie Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio, Ultramajic oder Omnidisc einen Namen gemacht - doch es war die rauhbeinige und muskulöse SPEICHER 80, die unsere Rezpetoren erst so richtig durchgepustet hat. Dannys Rezept für biegsamen, Electro- durchwirkten T echno entpuppte sich als unglaublich mitreissend und basslastig, eine kühne, futuristische und funkende Vision für den tanzenden Flur, die ihre Fortsetzung in einer brillianten neuen Scheibe findet: zwei frische Blaupausen für den Rave im Handumdrehen beglücken uns auf SPEICHER 91, mit der Gesichtszugkernschmelze SWIM als Auftakt zur völligen Arpeggio-Anarchie - während die Rückseite dem rasiermesserscharfen Robofunk von MACHINE zum Opfer fällt, Dannys zweiter Kollaboration mit TRANSLUCENT für Speicher nach dem knallharten Durchstarter "Speaker Language" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 80).

Booka Shade deliver their Rosebud EP for John Digweeds Bedrock imprint this November, featuring three new original tracks from the Berlin duo.

Blaufield Music founders Booka Shade have long been respected figures in the contemporary electronic music scene having racked up a handful of crossover cuts amongst their regular output aimed towards more underground realms. Here we see them focusing on the latter with a new EP for the esteemed Bedrock label, headed up by John Digweed and home to material from the likes of Guy Gerber, Guy J, Eagles & Butterflies and of course the label founder himself.

Booka Shade : "We have been extremely fortunate in our careers having our music released on many revered and renowned labels. We are particularly humbled and proud to have DJ legend John Digweed pick three of our tracks for a release on Bedrock."

Title-track Rosebud leads with an amalgamation of dark and brooding bass tones, percussive chimes and a bubbling arpeggio lead at its core whilst ethereal voices and resonant leads ebb and flow within.

Lust 2.1 follows with the focus on tension building atmospherics, metallic percussive rolls echoing vocal chops before marimba like synth tones and chugging arpeggios take the spotlight to tail out the composition.

In Velvet then rounds out the package with elongated subs, sweeping atmospherics and a choppy synth sequence all dynamically evolving and unfolding around an organic drum groove driving the composition.
