Octave One - Empower (1995 original mix)

Next up on Will & Ink is a second release from Yeleesa Hall & Malin, hot on the heels of their last collaborative effort, Lucas, at the end of 2015. Once again the mysterious Hall and Amsterdam/Paris based Oscillate Music boss cook up some hard hitting house that is sonically inventive. 

Opener ’First Carol’ has hulking kicks and hits and a writhing, monstrous sounding synth line that brings real rawness and energy to the four-four beats all around it. Some spooky little beat-less passage of eerie industrial sounds appear before ‘Second Carol’ again slips into a well swung and purposeful groove. This one is rubbery and rolling, with dubbed out chords riding up and down and airy hats adding a sense of scale. Another EP of contemporary club music of the highest order.

Higher Power

Killer set of tracks by the Burden Brothers! Classic 430 West compilation from 1995.... ''Detroit Techno City''! Originally spread over 2 samplers it contained some of their best work - all featured here. The original releases also contained tracks from Alien FM (Aux 88) and Unknown Force, however, the rights to these tracks have now gone back to the original artists.

B1  Octave One - Meridian

Out now: http://fanlink.to/AstralEP

A three track EP composed of pulsating grooves laced with sultry melodies is mastered to perfection, ready for any dance floor with a sound system worth its salt. Titles reflecting abstract themes like Area Seven, Astral Travel and Void, compliment the out of body feeling beautifully entwined into each track. 

The first of many more to come from the duo's sonic lair...

I've asked some of my current favourite producers to remix my recent single. This is the one of two Machine Woman remixes of 'Silver Echoes', the other ('Minimal Machine Woman Remix') and an incredible version of 'Spectrum' by Matrixxman will be released in full on Friday 8th March on 12" vinyl and all digital formats via Phantasy.

Spectrum (Matrixxman Highway Remix)

Benjamin Damage is an innovative UK techno artist, the first artist signed to Berlin’s legendary 50Weapons label and the last to release an album at its closure. This period produced three critically acclaimed albums and many EPs, drawing from diverse sources to help define the crossover UK / Berlin techno sound.

As well as two, highly charged four-tracks for Len Faki’s Figure label and ‘Deep Space Transit’ on ARTS, Benjamin put out two stinging dance floor cuts as BDB, a secret collab with label mates, Feel My Bicep. A live-recorded cut for Jeff Mill’s Axis Records was released this year. 

Performing on an all-hardware setup, Benjamin’s storming live performances have lit up the best clubs and festivals all around the world. The powerful setup has been fully redeveloped for 2021.
