Coming from ancient Greece, passing through London and landing on your ears, the seventh installment of our Secret Potions is here. A masterpiece by the London duo Stevie R & Parisinos.

“Alvin” takes us to harder dance floors, with unforgiving beats, electric guitars and acid lines, on the backdrop of manipulated vocal samples from 1970’s documentaries reflecting a state of the world that is all too familiar; a rushed, superficial and overloaded society.

A game of cat and mouse had unfolded in the neighbourhood, the illusive character seemed to be everywhere but nowhere at all. They'd left their mark on many households, on shops and on street corners, but whether these were well-meaning or a sign of impending danger, nobody knew. Whether the mystery would reveal itself, they'd have to wait and see.

South London-based label and party PROGRAMM have been busy cooking up lots of exciting things for the year ahead, starting with a new white label series, 'Untitled Series'. Their second label outing following last year's inaugural VA - premiered here - the first 'Untitled' release comes as a VERY limited run of 10 copies on 10" lathe cut plates, with hand etched artwork on the reverse. Don't sleep, these will be gone before you know it. And, if you aren't lucky enough to nab one, keep your eyes peeled for round two...

PREMIERE: Untitled Series - 001 (PROGRAMM)

The thin winding streets were adorned with all manner of trinkets, gadgets and souvenirs; you could get everything you needed from these stalls, if you were willing to look hard enough. Without a plan of action, you're guaranteed to get lost, to come away with things you never needed, to spend money you didn't intend to. Haggling was the name of the game, and once mastered, this place could become your oyster.

After the success of their inaugural release from Breaka, Manchester-based platform Off Beat follow up with their sophomore release from one third of the brains behind the label, Rhyval. With nods to early Hessle Audio and Swap 81-backed Ramadanman records, percussion and bass play a central role across the three tracks, which is translated through warped subs, crisp snares and rumbling bass.

Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and CristianCroce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien. Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch's Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan's Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up. Title track 'Brace Brace' is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch. The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts. 'Niente Per Niente' is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, 'Balkan Youth' gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier. This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

For the past several years Ravitz has been keeping up his production of house and techno music via different outfits like Inhalants, Masks, or Pulpo and most notably Patricia with his last year’s release – an epic 3LP record – ‘Several Shades of the Same Color’. His recent effort called ‘Free Lunch’ explores one of the directions presented on the album, however this time adding more color in the palette. 

Continuing to tool and retool his modular synth rack, on ‘Free Lunch’ Ravitz produces energetic electro tracks that show a shift from the familiar hazy murkiness to a fairly present sound and almost song-like writing that introduces layered melodies, acid grooves and luscious pointillism. ‘Your Battery Is Leaking’ is a groovy electro track with sizzling hi-hats, grimy bass tune and a lot of acid, while ‘Consumer Recreation Services’ is a heady trip of restless arpeggios and melting synths. ‘Placeholder’ combines the ingredients of the first two tracks and ‘Early Stages of Something’ brings back the grimy bass and lively groove. Finally ‘Winnipeg’ is the perfect closer returning to layered synth melodies and syncopated bass that brings back the feel of ‘I Know The Face, But Not The Name’ from his last album.

Andreas Rund - Ignorant (Original Mix)

The French producer Fred Berthet is not a newcomer in the world of the electronic scene, he is considered as a certified veteran in this field. Under his pseudonym Dj Steef he is still one of the best choices in terms of Edits, Nu-disco and Down-Tempo. As when he signs under his own name his productions for House and Deep-House .
His formula is simple, in an energetic and deep electronic atmosphere, he works on technics as subtle as effective. Fred signs the 18th release of the label by delivering an EP composed of 3 tracks, Electronic and Modern Deep-House. 

"Ethylinks" open the Ep with an hypnotic, electronic and deep atmosphere, led by a strong bassline, making the pressure growing up till the end.

« Scalla » is the second track, bringing a special balearic vibe with a kind of old school treatment to lead the listener in a psychedelic slow trip.

« Furtif »  ends the project with an evolutive and melodic construction of hypnotic synth loops, reaching a climax in an epic breakdown. Perfectly shaped for clubs !

Taken from the forthcoming EP "Juno Way" - out 13th November.

Following the release of his excellent debut on Barcelona’s Lapsus Records, Wordcolour lands on Houndstooth with an astounding EP of next generation club music. The London-based producer invites us into his musical world as we journey through three highly detailed soundscapes, both emotionally resonant and functional for the floor.

With a background in jazz, pop and contemporary classical, Wordcolour has also previously produced music for TV and theatre. On his sophomore solo release, he demonstrates his diverse musical knowledge with dynamic and engaging compositions that indicate many years of music making. While making nods to the best of contemporary UK experimentation, these cinematic tracks deftly switch between tempos all the while retaining Wordcolour’s own aesthetic signature.


Tracklist:
01. Breathless
02. Juno
03. I Waited For You This Morning
