Deep Down (Symbols)

Diynamic and mobilee have always been close, and last year celebrated together in style on the rooftop of the Hotel Diagonal in Barcelona during Sonar 2010 with all the leading artists on board, including Diynamic's H.O.S.H who's next up on the ever diversifying Leena Music catalogue!

Starting to release back in 2006, Holger Behn - the man behind the four well renowned letters - already has an impressive catalogue with EPs on labels including Get Physical, Kindisch, Supernature, Freerange, Strictly Rhythm, Dessous, Tsuba and of course his home label, as well as his debut LP 'Connecting The Dots' on Diynamic which came out last year.

His new EP, 'Tour De Fonque', fits perfectly in a peak time dance floor set, with strong basslines and in the case of the A-side track 'Dead And Alive' a twisted and eery vocal that's demanding "to know what it is". Meanwhile B-side 'Tour De Fonque' is built on a deep and driving groove that's impossible to ignore or stay still too. Keep it spinning and enjoy!

When KiNK's 'Follow The Step' remixes emerged last year, people went suitably nuts. The edits soundtracked a summer of partying and excess and now the winning combination of Rachel Row and Strahil Velchev is back, but this time with more bite.

The 'L Square' EP by Rachel Row is released via Pets Recordings on March 17 and the Catz Eats Kink tour hits XOYO, London this Friday.

Citizenn's album 'Human Interface' is out June 29th, pre-order now - 
iTunes - http://geni.us/CitizennHuman
Amazon - http://geni.us/CitizennHumanAMZ

Awarded the title of DJ Mag’s ‘Breakthrough DJ’ in 2013, Citizenn has won favour across multiple disciplines for his retro-futurist style. A film director in a former life, his affinity with working with technology led him to this first album, inspired by the direction it was taking humanity.
 
“I wanted to explore this idea of humanity infusing with technology, we have become completely dependent upon it to survive,’ explains Laurence AKA Citizenn, ‘The western world's obsession with augmenting our natural abilities runs deeper than moving things quickly or getting us into space, it allows us to manifest complex ideas and emotions in an artistic context. Each track on the record is based on a particular theme of human emotion or technological/mechanical attribute, and it's relation to the world of electronic music. I've dug deep to conceptualise each track to this format and attempted to create a journey through my influences, both musical and cinematically.”
 
The title track cracks the album into a dystopian tone, before tracks like ‘Infatuation’, ‘Control’ and ‘Gone’ welcome in warmth with R&B-tinted smooth vocals, layered over textured beats that sit safe with artists such as Scuba and James Blake. As the record progresses, Citizenn’s recognisable sci-fi house synths and effortlessly approachable classic beats surface in first single, ‘Tied’, and tracks including ‘Lacefront’ and ‘Shutters’ take a bow to the ground-breaking sounds of the late eighties and early nineties. 
 
Honest and rapid moments allude to a future vision in ‘Oh Bongdage’ and ‘You Are’ as the record edges forward to its conclusion, whilst vocal slices delivering subliminal messages are a constant throughout. “Aisha has one of the most amazing thinking minds I know. She and I came up with multiple scenarios and ways of expressing them through her vocal contributions. I also worked with a vocalist called Py, another great mind and voice who is instantly cinematic and can evoke so many different feelings with her tones.” 
 
Starting his musical life as a drummer, Laurence Blake’s Citizen alias didn’t come into play until after a successful career in video directing, working with the likes of Aluna George and Little Boots. “With film and the visual arts I was able to present impossible scenarios and environments, narrative-led or pop-culture heavy responses to subject matter. The music, which came later has allowed me to go one step further than I ever was able to with film.”
 
The whole record is visual, creating a vivid landscape that only an artist familiar with the details of more than one creative medium could deliver, with themes and textures that use both digital and analogue synthesis, and human oral and physical input. “The first versions of the record almost had no gaps or pauses at all, like some kind of blackish grey tapestry. Over the course of this path I began to understand the music I was making more, where these ideas were coming from and how I was applying it to the original concept and learned that nothing in life is linear/binary, even technology deviates from it's programmed functionality.” 
 
“It's been an affirming process and I have grown and allowed myself to be truly personal with the machines I use. In essence: the original concept of the record has become a self-fulfilling journey of self awareness and ownership.”

Timo Maas has been on a 33-year quest to deliver his musical wizardry to the world.

From a residency at the groundbreaking Circoloco at DC10 in Ibiza, where he has been entrenched for over 15 years, to tours around Europe and the rest of the world, Timo Maas maintains a high level of performance. In tandem with his global tours, the visionary German also dedicates his time to conjuring up fresh new productions in his studio, picking up a Grammy nomination in 2004. His international recognition began with his seminal remix of ‘Dooms Night’ by Azzido Da Bass. Adopted by the UK’s garage scene, it launched him on to the world stage and he was soon being courted by a plethora of superstars including Madonna, Depeche Mode, Fatboy Slim, Muse and Kelis. He has produced three albums, ‘Loud’ in 2001, ‘Pictures’ in 2005 and, most recently, ‘Lifer’ in 2013.

On today's exclusive premiere, Timo Maas tackles ‘Cast’ from My Favorite Robot's Panoptikum EP flipping it into seven sensational minutes of spooky, stripped back techno with pinging rubber kicks and unsettling pads that keep you on your toes.

"Panoptikum" is available 29 April on My Favorite Robot Records

Premiere: My Favorite Robot - Cast (Timo Maas Remix)

For the last five years Waze & Odyssey have been steadily releasing house jams that work wonders both in the club and through your headphones. The UK duo are as reliable as they come, if you want your house music bumping with a shuffling groove then they're your guys.

Next up they head to Eats Everything's Edible imprint and they follow a string of stellar EPs from Lauren Lane and Melé. The 'Down With Tha' EP has already built up a lot of steam on the circuit and the B-side 'Seizure' get its first play here.

The track's playful bounce is set against attitude-fuelled percussion and we're sure it's going to go down on the floors. Whatever formula Waze & Odyssey have been following since they burst onto the scene, it's working, this one bangs.
