September 2016 Top New Releases 2016

Christian Smith releases his third solo album titled “Input-Output” on his own Tronic imprint. Consisting of 11 original tracks, each one embodies Christians message of creating “real” techno, with powerful percussions and melodic basslines throughout.
A more than fitting entrance, ‘Destination Unknown’ provides the listener with a masterfully constructed synth melody perfectly complimented by a haunting vocal sample that is certain to sound out across the world’s dance floors. Fusing together sounds from a number of sub-genres, Christian’s minimal masterpiece ‘Explanation’ is sure to be a favourite for those who prefer a lighter shade of techno, whereas ‘Input/Output’s’ fierce kick drums are reminiscent of his stellar releases on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. 
‘Input/Output’ is an impeccable offering from one of techno’s most talismanic figures holding within it a different blend of sounds to suit everyone’s musical palate. Each production wonderfully weaves in and out of one another yet never straying too far away from the trademark Christian Smith sound. ‘Air Castle’s’ electro esque synthesizers flutter throughout yet listeners are treated to contrasting sounds from ‘Release (Stringz)’ dark and atmospheric harmonies.
Christian’s remarkable ability to conjure varying sounds from an array of different influences is unique to say the least. A talent that eludes many within his field, it is this exact trait that has elevated Christian to mesmeric heights and in turn making him one of the most sought after acts in house and techno.
Staying completely humble in his approach to each and every project that he embarks on, ‘Input/Output’ is set to further reiterate Christian’s unquestionable stature as one of underground music’s most influential characters.

Christian Smith - Input-Output [Tronic]

October electronic

Sam Paganini Top 10 September 2016

Cleric is a bit of a mystery guest even for us. A Techno producer with a love for the drones we know so well. A promotor of small underground parties in his homebase Manchester (and a Chelsea fan, but not lynched yet to our knowledge). That's about all we know really, so letting the music speak for itself is the key here.

Delivery doesn't stand on ceremony and blasts of straight away with a Techno stomper that will make people move for sure. But there's a lot more subtle flavoring underneath the surface: a constant layer of carefully crafted noises that make it a rich, deep sound despite of the dancefloor pedigree this track clearly has. 

The experiment of Wornitz was the first track we actually got to hear, and anyone with a heart for electronic music will feel the respressed threatening power of this tune. Reminding us a bit of Shed-meets-Jeroen Search, this track gets better every single time you take the time to put your headphones on and let it crush you in your seat. 

On to the flip side of the vinyl, with Morose. The most accessible track of the bunch, shamelessly addictive and utterly simple for maximal effect. The break has caused serious damage already to various dancefloors that were used as testing grounds. 

Remix duty can be tricky, but not when one of your ultimate heroes signs on to the project. Boy oh boy, we were over the moon when Dario Zenker agreed to remix a track, and he sure as hell did not dissapoint us. He turns Morose into an ultra-dark track that is so hyponitising at the same time. The melody that comes into the track lifts it far beyond the usual Techno you usually get. 

As always, Dimitri Andreas polished the entire body to perfection and mastered it to perfection yet again.

Christian is back with a big release on his Tronic imprint. This time delivering two powerful tracks. “Day One” is a big room techno affair with a hypnotic arpeggio melody. “Turn The Lights” is slightly more clubby with a vocal sample and tb303. This EP is without a doubt one if Christian’s biggest releases in a while. Already with big support from many of the main players such as Adam Beyer, Carl Cox etc.

Analytic comes back with a new figure in the family, label boss Markantonio brought directly from Spain Maae. The Spanish producer is born and raised in the Barcelona techno scene, he began his Dj Career in 2000 until 2010 when he started his own label Metodiq. Today he continues his collaborations and productions on different labels like MB Elektronics, Rhythm Converted, Driving Forces, !Organism and many more. Now is the time for Analytictrail and Maae took to Neapolitan label a fresh EP called Close To Ground that includes four original tracks.

Close to the ground is the namesake track of the EP and is a classic underground straight Techno track made by old school chords, heavy bassline and distorted nasty kick. 

Klon is a Techno spacey bouncing track, made by a plastic groove surrounded by synth bells and Detroit styles chords. 

Private Mod is the right mix of classic Techno track with rounding deep bass and strong kick fused with house vocal melodies from 90s.

Resolution has a pumped kick and dark bass, the listener can be dropped in a timeless journey driven by the Chicagos Techno school chords.

For sure another top quality work released by one of the most representative labels in the music industry and produced by a very good musician that deserves respect of all Techno lovers out there.

Soulsavers - Hal (Wolfgang Voigt's Pop Ambient Mix)

<p>Alex teams up with the Lowboys for this twofold offering and the title track&#8217;s frantic claps and busy arrangement set the tone, leaving metallic percussion to provide the momentum and evolving synths to reinforce the claustrophobic vibe. &#8220;Warm Pattern&#8221; takes it from there with some tasty chord action and a stomping rhythm section that leaves just enough space for the hypnotic atmospherics.</p>

Amaya & Blaze - Argue (Original Mix)

Here, Stacey presents three very contrasting tracks plus a remix from Christian Smith and Wehbba which also offers the perfect alternative take on title track 'ROK' With 'ROK', Stacey takes you on a futuristic journey through pure deepness, while Christian & Wehbba's remix lends a slightly more euphoric take on the original mix. Stacey adds even more weight to the EP with 'The Hunt For Din Dah'. The original kicks in with a marching beat that means serious business, and builds up sending the listener into a hedonistic frenzy. The 'Reprise Dub' starts with a more hypotonic touch, but keeps you engaged with occasional waves of fuzzing synths.

This September, Christian Smith will release his next full artist album titled ‘Input-Output’ consisting of 11 original productions once again displaying his prominence within the realms of underground music. Each track embodies Christian’s message of creating authentic techno, with powerful percussion and melodic basslines echoing out throughout the entirety of the album.
“This track is probably the tune with the most reactions on dance floor of this album. People go mad ;) I used the same “Shepard Tone” (rising sound) plug-in that I used in my track “Total Departure” which came out on Drumcode in 2008 and added yet another crazy siren sound on top of it. The result is total dance floor mayhem.” - Christian Smith

Roman Lindau – Strange Brew EP [SNDST021]

Preorder on Decks: http://bit.ly/2bTHCch

1:  Roman Lindau – With My Hands 
2: Roman Lindau – Strange Brew
3: Roman Lindau – Move
4: Roman Lindau – After Dark
5: Roman Lindau – Stab Incision [digital only]

In just five tracks, Roman takes us on a ride through a multitude of sounds and emotions from deep to heavy to whimsical and back again. 'With My Hands' opens things up with grinding percussion and a massive call and response of warm industrial synths while a soulful vocal teases and shimmers of resonant acid add a dash of attitude perfect for picking up the pace and burning a hole in the dance floor. 
The title track 'Strange Brew' is up next and it combines chugging organic percussion with classic Detroit house stabs creating an ideal balance between peak time mayhem and the deeper side of things. Picking up the pace, Lindau delivers a burner titled 'Move' with rapid fire percussion, vintage acid lines and a super slick vocal hook that is ready to start a fire any time it gets dropped. 
‘After Dark’ follows up and it might possibly be the biggest and baddest tune of the bunch. Huge melodic stabs and rising strings keep the pressure building while speedy percussion fuels a feverish endeavor. Last not least rounding out the EP with the digital bonus track 'Stab Incision’: a trip into 'Dub' territory with a classic palette of atmospherics versus fierce, modern drums ripe for late nights and early mornings.
Over all Roman Lindau's debut on Second State is an impeccable display of his range and talent and we couldn't be happier to have him on board. Welcome Roman!

This is their first addition to the label since the hugely successful ‘In Reverse’ EP and it comes as a package that fans both old and new will relish: a jubilant record melding the most groove-laden strands of Disco, Funk, Soul and House. Oh yeah...and to top it all off, the guys have collared one of the greats for a remix in the one and only Matthew Herbert.

Herbert’s remix adds a certain poppy flair to the original as it laces Zilla’s sassy croon with mangled synth blobs and hypnotic, circling samples, rounding off a serious coup for Heist Recordings and a fine addition to the catalogue.

Jason Kendig has turned in a remix for Beesmunt Soundsystem’s ‘Sensual Works’ EP, which is due for release via Honey Soundsystem Records (aka HNYTRX) on Wednesday 12th October. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of the rework above.

Kendig is one quarter of Honey Soundsystem, alongside Jackie House, Josh Cheon and Robot Yang, and the San Franciscan collective have been on fire this year, opening Block9’s Genosys stage at Glastonbury in June, as well as spinning at Circoloco at DC-10 and more through the summer.

For Honey Soundsystem Records’ last 12” release of 2016, they have enlisted David and Luigi of Amsterdam’s Beesmunt Soundsystem with their ‘Sensual Works’ EP, with Kendig reworking the title track into a no-nonsense thumper with a heart of gold.

Speaking about the remix, Kendig told DJ Mag, “I wanted to respect the subtleties of the original, but still keep you locked into a hypnotic groove that keeps elevating before you realize you've already left the ground.”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Beesmunt Soundsystem’s ‘Sensual Works (Jason Kendig remix)’ above.

Christian Smith is one of the world’s leading exponents of techno, both as a DJ and producer he is always bold and innovative. With his output in recent years it is hard to imagine a list of prolific producers without his name towards the top. He has been at the top of his game for over two decades with his trademark groovy techno.

Although Swedish by birth, Christian spent most of his childhood years in Frankfurt, Germany which no doubt played an unexpected role in determining his musical tastes from a young age. After spending time in the US studying, Christian moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil playing the best clubs in the city and surrounding regions, where he still loves to play today and continues to have a very big following.

In 1995 he started his label Tronic, since then it has dominated the charts with releases from Christian himself and the likes of ANNA, Enrico Sangiuliano, Paco Osuna, Drunken Kong, Wehbba, Ramon Tapia, and more. The label has been the top selling techno label in the world according to Beatport, and is soon to celebrate its 500th release.
Tronic also has a weekly show which is now syndicated to over 100 stations worldwide, their 500th show was celebrated with special guest Carl Cox and now in 2022, they are already fast approaching the 600th episode.

Christian has dominated the charts and DJ’s playlists with a steady flow of releases on many high profile labels like Drumcode, Filth On Acid, Trick, Symbolism, Bedrock, and Tronic. His last EP on Tronic reached #1 spot on Beatport in both Techno and Electro in January of 2024. During the pandemic, Christian had a weekly Tronic Thursday stream which has reached over 10M people. On the remix front, Christian has recently reworked a track by UK hip hop superstar "Stormzy". His music is regularly featured on Spotify's biggest playlists and Christian is currently enjoying a big boost in his career.

Christian also ventured into his own branded night in Ibiza at mega club Eden. His first season on the Island in 2019 had 15 consecutive weeks of events and was a huge success. Christian was also invited to host Tronic events all over the world from Tokyo, Detroit, Los Angeles, and London amongst many others.

So keep your eyes peeled, and if you can’t wait until then, you can always go to Christian’s Soundcloud for the latest on the radio show.
