From BPC342 - Regal - The Eyes
Release Date: 12.04.2019
Label: BPitch Berlin
Format: 12"/Digital

Regal debuts on BPitch Berlin with one of his rare releases outside his own Involve imprint. His »The Eyes« EP draws heavily on early hardcore and the powerful acid sound that has become the Spain-based producer’s signature style ever since he started making waves in the techno scene in 2012. Over the course of four tracks however, Gabriel Cassina showcases a previously unknown side of his abilities. More versatile, more experimental, and more stylistically diverse, »The Eyes« shows Regal at his most radical. If his past releases were dedicated to updating the sounds of the nineties for the present, his  first offering on Ellen Allien’s label sees him heading straight for the future.
The breakneck title track alone will surprise even the most devoted Regal followers with an entirely di erent sound and style. Eschewing the mighty four-to-four thump that dominates most of his work, »The Eyes« is rhythmically closer to recent pieces like »Double Standard« but still sticks out from Regal’s vast discography. If you’ve ever wondered what an acid-infused early 90s hardcore track would sound like if Regal had produced it, here is your answer. It’s not like Cassina slows down when experimenting; on the contrary, he only picks up speed. »Fire left engine,  fire right engine«, a voice commands at the beginning of the cheekily titled »Overground«, which then immediately launches us into outer space and towards rave ecstasy on a 140+ bpm backbeat.
»I Need You« opens the flip in typical hard-hitting Regal style but throws two elements in the ring that give this track an unusual spin. From beneath the murky, hoover-like chords, a glistening guitar melody slowly rises above the relentless groove. Intensifying more and more, it only serves as a preparation for the emotional turning point near the middle of the track, when a seemingly familiar voice intones the track name with soulful urgency. »I Need You« is an intense and raw piece of techno, both emotionally and sonically speaking. »Stimulus« brings about a welcome change in mood after this overwhelming experience: this is five and a half cathartic minutes of acid techno at its purest, informed by the likes of Cassina’s all-time hero Plastikman or nineties rave legends like Emmanuel Top. The backbeat-driven peak time energy of »Stimulus« offers exactly the kind of dark, cosmic sound that BPitch founder Ellen Allien has been leaning towards as a DJ recently, making it a perfectly  tting closing track for Regal’s first release on the label.

Amelie Lens – Let It Go EP [SNDST020]

Beatport: btprt.dj/2bnuWok

1: Amelie Lens – Wild 
2: Amelie Lens – Linger On 
3: Amelie Lens – Let It Go 
4: Amelie Lens – The Finest Hour

It is with a feverish excitement that we can finally announce the next EP in our catalog from our newest addition to the Second State family: Amelie Lens. Besides being quite a multi-talented virtuoso, the Belgian artist comes in hot and heavy for her debut release ‘Let It Go’ and with it showcases her prowess for dark, cutting-edge techno. Over the span of four tracks Lens takes us on a tour-de-force journey into the cerebral spaces of large, dark rooms and flashing strobe lights. Kicking things off is the hypnotically inducing 'Wild' with looping vocals laid over an ever increasing pressure of percussion and white noise. Much like the EP opener, 'Linger On' casts the same spell yet picks up the pace with racing snares and meteoric synth washes creating a deeply euphoric ride. The title track ’Let It Go' is up next and is by far the most 'cheeky' tune of the EP with a twisted acid line swirling around the constant begging of Lens’ voice encouraging you to "Let It Go, Let It Out". Rounding out the EP is 'The Finest Hour' and Lens wraps up her debut with the most psychedelic cut of the package. Low rumbling bass tones and spaced out pads over sparse drums leave lots of room for the imagination providing each listener to create their own journey to navigate. If this is Amelie Lens' debut with us, we expect a lot of very big things to come from the young Belgian and so should you. Welcome Amelie Lens!

Tallmen 785, after releases on Hotflush, Fiedel and his own self-named imprint, makes his full EP-debut on OFF.

Things kick off with Batucada, a full-on dancefloor tool with raw and unique sounddesign.

The name-giving "Circadian Rhythm" goes down a more subtle and experimental route, with an intricate synth lead pattern joined by a swung ladback groove.

"Driving Forward" does what its name says, an arpeggiated lead on a hefty kick, joined by meandering distorted pads make this track as danceable as trippy; a perfect tune for the later hours and to close this EP.

Charlotte de Witte - This (Original Mix)

Len Faki takes on a couple of classics for 007 of his ongoing special edits series LFRMX, striking a perfect balance between the old and new.

First up is a tweaked version of Steve Stoll’s 1998 LP-excerpt Reciproheat, elegantly edged while carrying the proper weight to move.

DJ Shufflemaster’s booming Housedust release from the same year however has a wacky tack to its groove, it’s mind-bending qualities yet amplified by Faki boiling down the tempo to more current confines.
The flipside goes all deep, starring a rework of Valentino Mora’s recent space odyssey. Building upon the original’s lively tribal percussion, the prevailent mystical mood is spliced up, readying the track special moments in an otherwise up-tempo-environment. A gently pulsing edit of UBX127’s Barabrus eventually puts a meditative and soothing finishing touch to the EP.

As with all releases of LF RMX, the proceeds of this record will be forwarded to the Berlin organization Straßenkinder e.V. to be used in actions against child poverty.

Lucy Cliché - Cliché's Principle

"Cliché’s Principle” exhibits the two-sided aura of an artist long familiar with the cultivation of DIY ethos: an effortless expulsion of playful immediacy and the unfolding of a musician well versed in unpretentious composition. Lucy Cliché’s five track EP for Fleisch Records is a jacking romp through 120-125bpm electro/new-beat, swooning through downcast ambience, lobotomised vocal samples and sweat-drenched hardware rhythms.

Lucy’s musical oeuvre piles high; as a figure in the Sydney underground for the past 15 years she has always explored sounds that playfully antagonize the status-quo; the dysfunctional no-wave approach of her band Naked On The Vague and the manipulated tape ambience of Half High echo throughout Cliché’s Principle in the form of chorus buzzed synth chords, abstract drones and ethereal evocation. While there is the strong presence of a live veteran at work behind the machines, Cliché’s Principle holds five tracks produced purely with the intention of paving the dance-floor.

Tracklist:

A1 - Heady Duet
A2 - Waves On Road
B1 - Opulent Optic
B2 - True Ego
B3 - Cliché’s Principle

From BPC340 - Tim Xavier - Dust to Dust

Tim Xavier’s »Dust to Dust« EP for Ellen Allien’s BPitch Berlin showcases the Berlin-based US American producer’s knack for a timeless techno sound that harkens back to the heyday of minimal techno while relentlessly rushing towards a yet unknown future. Between quasi-acid anthems and complex minimal structures, Xavier again proves to be one of techno’s most reliable producers.

VOLTAGE Records welcomes Spanish born producer Vily Vinilo with his Chromosphere EP. 
His work is a mixture of classic techno groove mixed with experimental elements, some progressive touches which take the listener to a trip through a unique soundscape. 

Blending elements from different genres within the Electronica, this pumping, 'running' 3-tracker is the perfect soundtrack for different settings, different times within a set, adding up spice and uniqueness in any set. 

Chromosphere is wide, sturdy and phat, based on a dark kickdrum selection and distinctive sidechaining on the constant pads and chords that travel throughout the track. There is a bass arpeggio that appears after the first drop, which produces an irresistible groove on it's own and makes this composition truly original. 

'Parallax' is what someone would describe as a 'well designed track within a unique soundspace'. From the first seconds, it immediately creates a habitat of its own, immersing the listened into its atmosphere. 

'Supernova' is based on a drone seq that flows elegantly throughout the tracks playtime. Adding discrete pads and gated leads this is a track with a pure techno core but enriched with elements from classic trance, making it irresistible to dancing.
