We're back. The usual mish-mash of mostly recent stuff thrown together in a way that made sense to me at the time :) Pick of the week is Jaga Jazzist's "Apex" which reminds me a bit of 808 State, although I really like Koffee's "Pressure" too.

Jul 31 - Aug 06 2020

Copenhagen-based musical adventurer Ground Plane Aerial returns with the latest instalment under his recently birthed moniker – this time launching his very own Theorama label project with a typically expressive 'Elusive Maneuvers' EP.
Ground Plane Aerial is the latest incarnation of the mysterious man behind the highly regarded Paxton Fettel project. With countless releases under his belt on much respected labels – including Delusions Of Grandeur, Kolour LTD, Apersonal, and regular home Greta Cottage Workshop – the new nom de plume is an exciting new 
vessel from where he intends to advance his odyssey into house-inspired jazz-funk futurism. Fresh from inspired releases and remixes on Apparel Music and Tensnake's True Romance, his latest offering is every bit as striking as we've come to expect from the maverick producer. 
The lively tempo, dramatic stabs and elegant musicality of 'Ethereal Drop' render it an esoteric classic in the making. Guitar picks burst into life over lush pads while synth arpeggios meander across the panorama. Rich with intelligent musicality, the arrangement ebbs and flows blissfully before eventually disappearing into evocative violet skies.
'Magik In Fuck Off Major' belies its cheekily confrontational name, as intricate layers of jazz-tinged keyboard licks make way for delicious chord progressions. The crisp rhythm stealthily builds before a deviant funk-fuelled synth line joins the action to add a freakish intensity to the delightfully distinctive cut. Simultaneously detailed and spacious, the music overflows with originality while retaining a floor-focused edge.

Applaundub-Processual [Another Concept]

Chris Odium is a new face on the Dissident label roster, but he’s been a friend of the label (and on our musical radar) for a very long time! His deep, melodic releases on labels from Silk Music to Nuevadeep have delivered consistent inspiration and emotional moments for over a decade. His signature sound blurs lines between deep house, techno and progressive, and we’re really happy to welcome him to Dissident Music! Augmented Reality soars with classic Detroit-style pad stabs, ethereal melodies, and whispered vox, all underwritten by a captivating Reese bassline and grooving drums. Emulated Emotions continues the story; led by a mesmerizing bassline and swung percussion, atmospheric pads and moody synths carry the vibe forward and level up the energy. Both of these tunes are timeless yet modern, and we think you’ll love them as much as we do! Thanks as always for playing and charting. Stay tuned for more from Dissident Music!

Lapse [Minimal Groove Concept]

Chaos In The CBD's Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales team up with long-time friend and collaborator Jon Sable to present their new imprint ‘In Dust We Trust.’

In Dust We Trust is an ode to a collection of friends who share a certain understanding, who live by a love and respect for the people around them. That friend who saves that last puff for you, that friend who will share their drink with you when you can't afford your own, that friend who will learn how to drive a car on the spot because you're too drunk to make it home.

Kicking things off with a release from Chaos In The CBD, ‘Accidental Meetings’ is a record that celebrates this way of living. The four cuts effortlessly move you through a journey of delicate textures and atmospheres. It begins with the late night basement sounds of the title track, then sends you through the spacious and meditative ‘North Pole Cafe.’ The wild rhythms of ‘United Identities’ hypnotise you, until you find yourself spat out by the energetic grooves of ‘Distorted Fields.’

Play it in the club, play it in the hotbox, or play it for your mum, this record is filled with soulful, rhythmically complex, melancholic music that is unmistakably dusty.

HSM PREMIERE | Cassettes For Kids - Made For Club  [Inhale Exhale Records]

Don’t get fooled by the angry riffs in Run,  this songs has a positive thing to say; while we’re busy running away from something bad, we might miss that we’re running into something a lot better. However, getting rid of scary doomsday stories you’ve been fed in the church bench since infancy, is hard. Run is full with blink and you’ll miss them-bible references paired with small town trash imagery. That makes a lot of sense for the most personal song on an album that will be titled Drive-through Chapel.

Musically, this song might bring to mind Swedish indie darlings Broder Daniel, and a hint of Swervedriver. Some inspiration was garnered from The Chipmunks 1988 song “The Wall” to evoke the right kind of bitter sweet. The limit of how high the BPM of a Shoegaze song is aptly pushed to leave the listener with a taste of blood in their mouth. Like running too fast does.

Tilman steps up for the first record on Shall Not Fade’s new ‘Seasons Series’ imprint. The coloured vinyl sub-label pairs music associated with the season of release with the coloured vinyl that fits with that season. 001 due for release in summer season features laid back hazy synth patterns and groove ridden drum sequences, served up on a stunning blue marbled vinyl, just like the sky on a luscious summers day.

Tokyo-based producer Omar Santis returns for his 3rd Karakul EP following on from releases on Dionysian Mysteries and Envelope Audio. 'Thursday Night Funktion' is the 6th release on the imprint and really embodies the ethos of Karakul, soulful deep house workouts designed for the dance floor. The EP is dedicated to his Tokyo club night 'Funktion'; a cultural party that's held every Thursday at one of the world's top ten small clubs, Oath in Shibuya. Their events have caught the attention of Tokyo's local community and their international guests by its unique branding and "mature but wild" party atmosphere. The EP starts on a high with the groovy sample heavy disco/house jam 'Nira'. Vocal chops and guitar licks build and culminate until a massive string section releases a second rush of energy taking the track to even higher ground. The follow up 'Sakura Blossom' is the deepest cut of the release with washed out pads and bleeps cascading while a hypnotic bass keeps the track grooving. Iron Curtis adds his personal touch and ups the energy on his remix of 'Cameo Appearance', adding a breakbeat, ethereal melodies and vocal snippets floating atop a plucky bass line. Ending the release on a blissful note 'SpaceColorPalette' is a flurry of melodic synths and muffled percussion that swirl around over the top of a solid kick and bass groove.

2020 sucked major ass. Serious lack of loud sound systems, flashing lights and shite dancing.

He was stubborn in his point of view, it had always been that way and it seemed as if some things would never change. As he walked by the old canal he looked at the leaves which floated upon the water and travelled downstream towards the river. He wondered why life was as transient as it was yet he'd been stuck in the same old sensibilities for as long as time itself. Perhaps it was time for a change, he'd always considered things to be based upon historic principle. "My belief, your disorder," his mantra for a quiet life. Now it all seemed more fragile and wayward than ever... 

Damiano Von Erckert is set to release a new EP on Will Saul's label Aus Music. This one is a shuffle ready, high paced house affair destined to delight dancers. It's fun yet menacing. A well rounded release which is bound to travel well.

PREMIERE: Damiano Von Erckert - My Belief, Your Disorder [Aus Music]

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
