Techno

Our next release comes from Nikola Gala, who is contributing this excellent 3 track EP to our catalogue. Nikola has been busy as of late, producing and releasing fresh and exciting underground house & techno music on labels like Rekids, Enemy Records, Freerange, Plastic City, Ibadan and many more.

We are delighted to add such a forward thinking and polished bow to our sonic arsenal including these 3 brand new studio productions from Nikola. Varying from the intelligent techno house sounds of “Auburn”, to the raw techno beats and chords of “Off White”, to the hypnotic bells and atmospheres of “Lilly”, all three tracks are aiming squarely at the dance floor. Enjoy!

Nikola Gala - Off White (Original Mix) - DA027

Crystal Structures brings three very special people together for it's third release - Christian Rindermann (C-Rock, Dubstar) of Germany & the icelandic dub techno artists Exos & Thor. The A side (Icelandic Side) consists of one part hard hitting acid techno courtesy of Thor - "Pleasure Dome". Following up, Exos brings his A game to the table with a trademark dub track by the name "Milkshake". Flip side consists solely of Christian's tracks (Germanic Side) with two of his monikers signing two very different tracks - "Sonics Argenta" speaks for itself as a future classic in the genre while "Crystal Society" rounds of the ep nicely, taking a step back into deeper territory. 
All tracks are unreleased to this point. Vinyl only.

Britta Arnold - Sweet 40 EP

After serving up some killer original tracks from Obrotka, Abstract Music now enlists the services of Nikola Gala and 
Jay Bliss to rework one of the standout cuts. 
The results, invariably, are excellent. 

Obotka has been active since the 90s, has played almost every decent club in the world and because of his excellent discography taking in labels like Deeper Digital, Abstract Music and Wasabi is a revered part of the global dance community. 

First to remix his ‘Who Needs Enemies’ cut is Romanian 2020 Vision and All Inn records associate Jay Bliss. He flips the track into a deep, rubbery house groover with muted neon 
chords & crisp percussion.
It’s a no nonsense affair with infectious and icy hi hats that really get under your skin. 

Next up, Nikola Gala is a prolific producer whose impeccably produced tracks have become big releases for Ibadan Records, Rekids, Freerange Records and Plastic City. He serves up two remixes, the first of which is a Dubby Mix of ‘Who Needs Enemies.’ Stripping things back to an 
essential, locked on groove, hunched drums, rolling hits and frazzled synth lines all make for a seductive track that is warm and organic in all the right ways. 

Finally, Gala turns out a Techy Mix of the same track that is much quicker, more urgent and banging. Metallic chords, grinding bass and indecipherable vocal cries all characterise this more physical version and it will bang in clubs as a result.

All three remixes here offer something slightly different, but something equally essential, for all the real DJs out there.

As it does from time to time, Delsin is focussing on a re-issue project in May: in line for a return to the spotlight is My Home is Sonic, a standout techno, dub and minimal album by Exos originally released in 2001 by Icelandic producer Arnvidur Snorrason aka Exos.

Exos is the son of dub techno producer Octal and released three albums in his career, as well as a swathe of fine EPs on labels like Thule, Mosaic, Slow to Speak and many others. His ability to build great atmospheres and heady soundscapes was unrivalled, and though they bottle up influences, they are always fresh, wintry and compelling. The re-issued album will be presented as a CD and LP and is due for release in May.

Exos - My Home Is Sonic (DSR-X9)

Taken from Bjarki 'Б' forthcoming on Trip Records - 17th June.

'Б' is the first LP of three LPs which will see Bjarki release 41 tracks from his archive

Bjarki is from Iceland. Born and raised. Despite the fact that Bjarki is known for making extremely powerful
dancefloor tracks he doesn’t seem to belong to any particular genre. Something this triptych of LPs
demonstrate very well. His music is at times cinematic and there’s a story behind each track. Bjarki’s music
always has something to do with him personally, but he’d rather the listener lose themselves in the music
than pay much attention to the man behind them. Either on a record or to one of his ever evolving live sets.

Б | Lefhanded Fuqs | Æ will be released over the coming months and represent a snapshot of his archive,
selected by Nina Kraviz for Trip. The tracks were produced months ago, years ago, or in the case of the last
track just a couple of weeks ago. What began with 30 tracks is now 41. The three LPs aren’t albums in the
traditional sense - the concept being to release the contents of his burgeoning hard drives. The music might
fit together like an album, but Bjarki doesn’t see it that way. It’s essentially an archive that sounds like an
album but none of the music was made with this in mind.

‘’I think making an album is always hard, especially with all critiques that can be scary, in the end I just want
people to enjoy what I put out without the music being forced into some category’’.

“Б” [TRP007 |17th June] - consisting of more ravey, sample-based music, mostly tracks that Bjarki never
had any intention of releasing. But since Nina has been playing many of them in her sets, releasing them
has been given new meaning. In the rave culture of the 90s, that’s proved a strong influence on many of
these tracks, what matters was actually “being there”. There was no immediate or alternate technological
way to experience it otherwise. "Б" из “B” letter in cyrillic. It’s a word play. A missive for “being" in the
moment, being present, being aware… B is for Bjarki.

The artwork is again all done by Tombo, but the art direction was to depersonalise, emphasising that there
was no particular idea behind the archives. It’s a hint that Bjarki wishes he could give a pen to everyone
who buys the vinyl, so they can write and draw whatever they want to imagine. Bjarki would like to see
peoples art for the LP. (The artwork is just a pen and the pen in Tombo’s hands.)

Б - Trip 007

D2 Bjarki - As You Remember

Bjarki just dropped the first part of a 41 track archive released over three LPs... whatever you do, don't call it an album. The three LP's will instead represent a snapshot of his genre-defying archive.  The three LPs aren’t albums in the traditional sense - the concept was simply to release the contents of his burgeoning hard drives. 

The first part of the three part archive is cyrillic for "B" and although all the tracks are solid, there is one that stood out to us in particular. "The Lover That You Are" kicks off with some ethereal pads and filtered down percussion that slowly begins to reveal itself in full as the resonance gets turned up to eleven to suddenly drop you into a break-heavy moody Techno banger. One of the best qualities of this track is how skilfully it plays with tension and release and honestly we can't get enough of it. Listen to it in full down below and buy your copy here --> j.mp/TRP007

Appreciate the Past EP

Appreciate the Past

Keys in the ignition, no turning back: Dubfire and Miss Kittin are about to take us on another late night road trip. And this time there are two very special ways to ‘Ride’…

Plotting new routes from where they last dropped us off in 2014 with ‘Exit’, and presented in Miss Kittin’s own artwork, the two long term friends and musical kindred spirits cover a side each with two version journeys you’ll never forget.

Kittin jumps straight on the autobahn in a tank-shaped techno hummer. Thumping the tarmac down with every gas-guzzling kickdrum, lights blur and trace and the mission gathers momentum as we cruise almost majestically into a brighter unknown.

Dubfire brings us back home via the trusty widescreen house plains. Roads running parallel with the grand, emotional highways he once took as Deep Dish; the vanishing point is far on the horizon where a vast sky of twinkling stars opens up with a feeling you could ride for days on end.

Unhurried, restrained and timelessly crisp and futuristic: trips like this don’t come about very often… The keys are in the ignition, care to take a ‘Ride?’

[Premiere] Voiski - Micro Mouse Mappy

After @Nick-Hoeppner's debut album ‘Folk’ (2015) and his collaborative EP with Gonno (‘Fantastic Planet’, 2016) the Panorama Bar resident puts full focus on club music with a new, consistent 3-tracker. By aiming for a strong musical coherence and dancefloor functionality Nick offers three facets of a familiar mood with the ‘Box Drop EP’ – ahead of his stylistically and atmospherically more diverse studio album, due out in June on Ostgut Ton.

Nick Höppner | Box Drop

The dust has barely settled from his deep, emotive and explorative debut LP 'Over & Under' and Marino Canal returns to MOOD with two brand new immaculate originals.

'Sentient' drives us even deeper into beautiful introspection as weaves of elements entwine, morphing and curling around each other and the stately kicks. Total hypnosis; by the time the linger keynotes strike and gentle acid makes itself known midway you'll be halfway to another planet.

'Fragment' eases us into another exciting new year for MOOD's very own Spanish craftsman. Purring subs softly lift us, cushioning us in their weight and allowing layers of synths to build around us in a kaleidoscope of emotions and atmospheres. Evolving, twisting, turning; Marino's created something truly spellbinding right here.
Soaring, yearning and coded with just the right amount of cosmic allure, Marino is making some of the most immersive music in techno right now. True mood changer in every sense… Stay tuned for more throughout the year.
