Told You

Thai techno ambassador Nakadia joins the kraftek family with her absolutely massive single: The Red Queen. While the Berlin-based queen of positivity has garnered the support of the usual techno heavyweights, The Red Queen stands as a definitive statement of her production prowess. A driving low end, lush emotional pads, and some absolutely showstopping moments made this one of the releases we were most excited about but were forced to delay until live shows were possible again as this is most certainly a track that needs to be heard on a proper system to appreciate its visceral power. We proudly present, Nakadia's The Red Queen

03. Themisto
04. Lysithea

Release Info: 
"What Came First" is a new label dedicated to House and Techno, which has been set up by the people behind the infamous Egg London club venue.

One of the UK and Europe's best known clubs, Egg’s weekend line-up’s often include clubland royalty such as Sven Väth, Pig&Dan, Pan-Pot, Anja Schneider and if anything, it would be easier to list the artists not to grace the venues turntables.

This new release comes from EGG LDN resident Kyle E, whose distinctively deep and melodic sound has earned him legendary status amongst the clubs weekly attendants.

Kyle E is a producer many will recognise from John Digweed's “Live On South Beach” compilation, which featured the Christian Burkhardt remix of Kyle’s track “Arp For You Heart”.

Arp For You Heart was taken from Kyle’s first and only release prior to his debut on What Came First and this much anticipated follow up will no doubt showcase why Kyle is a hotly tipped producer.

The release also features a remix from Columbian born David Delgado who is a regular collaborator with the likes of Mihai Popoviciu, Alex Piccini, Argenis Brito and Maik Yells under a variety of different aliases.

Known for his Jazz influenced sound full of detail, David’s music has featured on labels including Metroline Limited, Moan Recordings, Highgrade Records and Serkal.

“Metis” opens the release with shuffling percussion and ambient FX sounds that create a spooky atmosphere. Rising melodies and pads combine with dramatic synth stabs when washed in delay and reverb, make this slice of Melodic Techno feel vast and cavernous.

Second is the David Delgado remix of “Metis” which using sparse drums augmented with tom rolls and snare fills, is a Minimal reworking of the original. Murky, textured and subtle piano flutters fuse with wonky pads to form an intricate tapestry of sound. Infectious and full of personality, the track's House focused groove provides stark contrast with the original version.

“Themisto” is built around ethereal pads which are layered over the elasticity of an acid bassline. Laid back with gentle bursts of arpeggiated melody, the track has an understated and delicate sound, which as the track develops, builds further with help of a second bassline which lifts the track.

Arguably saving the best for last, “Lysithea” finishes the release in epic style. A Balearic vocal pad, when blended with sparse percussion and poignant chords, forms the back bone of the track. Packed with emotion and a variety of different sections, the building tension makes this a perfect set builder.

WCF009 - VA Vol. 1

Premiere: Madison & Gaudier – Discofire (What Came First)

@Skrufff / @Daniel-Miller-Mute / @WhatCameFirst / @EGGLondon

What Came First is a new off shoot from the well known Egg London club brand that has seen such guests as Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier, Pan-Pot and more.

The eleventh EP from this relatively new imprint sees two originals from the now Berlin based Jonty Skrufff who many will know from his six year residency at Sisyphos club there, whilst also hosting the “Berlin Berlin” parties at Egg also. His music for labels such as Black Butter and Shitkatapult along with a remix of Motor’s “Death Rave”, has won him a Quartz Award France, of similar standing to a Grammy.

Remix duty comes from the one and only Daniel Miller, the founder of legendary record label Mute Records. Signing artists such as Moby, New Order, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Goldfrapp and Depeche Mode, his influence on modern music is largely respected and appreciated.

Following an invitation from Regis to participate in a Sandwell District event, Daniel has been DJing regularly since 2012, playing around the world and becoming a regular at the the infamous Berghain.

We selected Daniel’s remix of “Warpaint” for this DT:Premiere as he focuses on a pounding beat, using mechanical cuts and abstract sonics to create a heady and tense affair, full of character and change ups through it’s extended duration.

♫ MORE ♫

Premiere: The Advent - Valiant Keys (Egbert Remix)

Opening the EP is ‘Distorted Reality’, an absorbing, slightly menacing track layered over a fat kick drum which holds a captivating story illustrated through haunting synths and an engaging, dark melody.

The aptly named ‘Lucid Dreams’ is one of the more imposing tracks from the selection. An eerie sonic experiment with a succession of bleeps swirling in and out over intricate synths and laced with a cosmic and dystopian-like groove throughout. A perfect lure into the murkier side of ‘In My Mind’.

‘Laniakea’ is a pumping amalgam of mesmerizing modulation, driven by rich analogue - a prominent characteristic throughout the EP. A deeply melodic, textured composition built on sublime synths with a pulsating, well rounded kick drum, it’s capable of leaving goose bumps on even the most hard-faced techno fiend.

Closing the EP is the 7XINS and Luther Vine collaboration ‘Surreal Dosage’, carrying a sinister rhythm with notes of madness, blended with a stabby synth and sharp drone plunging throughout the melody. Its perfectly aligned elements are destined to leave a heavy impact on the listener and sound system alike.

Premiere: NEUMANN - Coaster (Kyle E Remix) [What Came First]

Our latest release on what Came First has been produced by Italy's newest export, Knowhat, who has delivered two original works blended with shades of uplifting house and tech house rhythms.

The original track 'Feel it' is a high-spirited, house-infused creation with soulful vocals and punchy drums, showcasing the artist's ability to shy away from the driving tech house sound he's usually known for.

'Make My Body Groove' is a sultry, alluring piece with infectious, groove-tinged percussion. Suitable to captivate any dancefloor worth its salt from the beginning to end.

Frankfurt based producer Basti Grub is also featured on the EP, re-working the title track. Having touched it down with a minimal techno bass-line, Grub has artfully kept the male vocal hook rolling throughout the mix.

WCF016 01. Feel It (Original Mix) - Knowhat [Preview]

What Came First's second V.A.'s album comes in the form of club-focused house and techno productions from Egg residents Kyle E and Luther Vine, long-running friends Anderson Noise, Transcode and 7XINS, as well as an array of fresh, talented producers such as Sandro Inturri, bu go, Odra and Sablin.

Each producer adds a different element to the EP in their own unique way, some going down the route of chunky, crowd-pleasing productions while others have gone towards a trippy, hypnotic sound for the more discernible dance floor.

After releasing a slew of EP's from a range of established artists, WCF Volume 2 is about highlighting the new names who have left an impression on the club over the last year.

Like the Egg  London dance institution itself, the release covers a full spectrum of Techno from dubby minimal tones to big room beats along the journey.
