First released digitally in 2012, then on vinyl in 2013, Compuphonic feat. Marques Toliver's 'Sunset' has proved an enduring hit with house lovers around the world. As such, the new year will see it get further release, this time with brilliant remixes from
Andre Lodemann & Fabian Dikof, Noema and Tim Engelhardt. 

The original is a still fresh tune with pained male vocals layered over deep, heartbroken house beats. Neon chords flesh things out and the whole thing drips with a sombre sense of romanticism. 

Esteemed deep house man Andre Lodemann & Fabian Dikof remix first and extend it into an eight-minute melodic masterpiece scattered with harmonics. lt has a sense of drive to it that lifts you higher and makes it into a truly epic and steamy track. 

Poker Fiat artist Tim Engelhardt serves up two remixes. The first is a cosmic affair with arpeggiated synths rippling oft into the skies as the rooted drums pop down low. The vocals feel even more heavenly in this version, while his second remix is more stripped back. Claps get your hips swinging and daubs of synth bring a playful feel to the still emotive track. 

Lastly, Berlin based Noema goes deep with a shimmering mix that is layered up with xylophones, chords and wooden hits. lt's a sensuous cut that will infuse any set with real heartwarming grooves. 

This is a carefully compiled package of remixes that add vital new spins to the still essential original.

Aus Music label head and DJ-Kicks curator Will Saul launches a new mix compilation series called 'Inside Out' with a distinct concept, each installment will feature 100% new and unreleased music.

Here Mixmag premieres a fresh cut from Youandewan titled 'Insel 2000', a dreamy and melodic break beat tune that showcases a unique side to his musical persona.

Will Saul touched on how the vision behind the new series is to deliver somewhat of an exciting surprise with each release: "I wanted to try and recreate the feeling I used to get in the 90s when you went clubbing and heard your favourite DJ play, but had never heard the vast majority of the tracks he or she was playing. Your mind would be constantly blown by hearing totally new music for the first time. We've pretty much lost this with the proliferation of online mixes, Shazam, early EP premieres and free streams.”

For Will’s inaugural 'Inside Out' mix he tapped a collection of artists he’s worked closely with over the years, including Lone, Pearson Sound, Move D, Gerd, Youandewan, Martyn, Falty DL, Dauwd, Appleblim and Marquis Hawkes.

'Inside Out' is set for release March 30 with nine tracks also being released on 2x12" vinyl.

Jesse Perez and DJ Mind-X go head to head on a new deep house rendition of the 1998 trance track ‘Never Talk To Aliens’. Producer DJ Mind-X formerly released the record under Energetic Records, a trance specialist label based in Switzerland. This fresh version sees the tempo slowed down, still preserving the track’s 90s trance qualities with its sultry looped spoken vocals and hypnotic melody. Miami house producer Jesse Perez works his magic on the track with a bouncy body-jerking beat typical of his signature bass-heavy sound. This revamp presents a trance-infused track with a lot of mesmerising groove that might just get you talking to aliens…

Loser’s Hymn - Powder Remix


John Talabot and Axel Boman teamed up in 2017 for their R&S debut ’The Night Land’ where they got to flex their creative muscles over eight tracks of rich synth jams.  

The two electronic artists have been independently successful in their respective careers, but as Pitchfork expressed in their glowing review “Their collective output doesn’t sound much like either’s work; it doesn’t even necessarily reflect the thin, convex sliver where their interests overlap. Instead, they’ve hit upon something new.”

This new sound also proved to be a hit with the likes of Mojo, Phonica, XLR8R, Self Titled and DJ Mag all including it their annual best of lists.

The artists have now handpicked four artists to create their own vision of the Talaboman sound.  
Superpitcher, Samo DJ, Luke Slater under his L.B. Dub Corp alias and Powder have all seriously delivered the goods.

Exclusive Active Child 'Johnny Belinda (MDK Remix)'

Active Child's tune 'Johnny Belinda' gets the remix treatment from Dutch electronic music legend Matthew Dekay The producer has been responsible for one of Innervisions' biggest hits, 'Lost In A Moment', and also produced the groundbreaking EP 'Amity' including the summer hit 'Fangtango' on Maeve. With his remix for Active Child's track 'Johnny Belinda' Dekay once again proves his ability to turn an original track into his own piece of work. Melodic melancholic synth chords shape the body of MDK's remix approach and are set with a reserved bass line that fully unfolds its punch as the remix proceeds. But it certainly is the vocal that puts its mark on the track and Dekay manages to make the interaction between the vocals and soundscapes sound so easy. 

Active Child's EP 'Johnny Belinda Remixes' will be released April 30th, 2018 on Subtract Music.

Fresh off the back of his recent mini-LP ‘Static’, which garnered a host of international support from the likes of KALBLUT, Clash, The Line of Best Fit and Indie Shuffle, Bård Ericson a.k.a boerd lands back on the label with his brand new ‘Static’ remix EP, featuring a high calibre trio of reimagined album cuts, out June 12th.

Lead vocal single ‘Blind’ receives two colourful remixes, the first of which is from genre-defying London duo and rising stars on Mura Masa’s Anchor Point imprint, Jadu Heart. By combining a bop-inducing bassline with boerd’s brooding vocals, Jadu Heart skilfully coat the original in a Noughties indie rock sheen, complete with understated drums and melodic guitar riffs.

Replicating the hazy beauty of the original, Croquet Club’s take on ‘Void’ sees the Parisian producer inject his nuanced percussion and trademark plucky bass alongside Ellen Arkbro’s angelic vocals to create a lush, synthetic soundscape.

The second remix of ‘Blind’ comes from Belgium native Maxime Firket a.k.a Compuphonic. Invoking boerd’s blissful atmospheres and subtle key progressions, Firket’s four-to-the-floor mix is a deep yet meditative reinterpretation.

Batten down the hatches! A storm's a coming and it's brewing right from the heart of Carlo Ruetz' Mecklenburg HQ. Chasing recent tornados on Matador's Ruckus and Oliver Huntemann's Senso Sounds, it's a tempestuous whirlwind of melodic highs, breath-taking lows and an energy Carlo has made his signature, and it's heading our way via MOOD.

'Stormer' marks the initial clap of thunder. Intense, high pressure and full of electrical energy that becomes more turbulent as the track breaks down. 'Stormer' by name, storming by nature. 'Kolaps' maintains the wreckage with its rolling kicks and inclement bass while sunlight pierces the darkness in the form of lingering synth strikes that twist and turn unpredictably.

'Silence' is the eye of the storm. A more stripped-back drum arrangement allows for a creepier, pensive sense of atmosphere thanks to cascading melodic hooks while 'Surrender' plays the consummate grand finale. A thumping dark groove hurricane that gathers more and more momentous as the track develops, this storm is not set to pass any time soon.

Hatches battened, storm gates locked. Expect more lightning strikes from Carlo very very soon…

OUT NOW: lnk.to/Dust-EP

Following on from his acclaimed 2017 debut album and an accompanying EP that relaunched the legendary British label, Novamute, Nicolas Bougaïeff presents a three track EP on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint out June 26th. ‘Dust’ borrows its name from a short story by Greg Egan, in which a future scenario grants humans the ability to duplicate their consciousness as software, thus experiencing immortality.

Inspired by this narrative, Nicolas decided to focus on the experiences of the main character, who observes himself becoming increasingly disordered in his surroundings. As such, the EP is equal parts exhilarating and disturbed, taking references from melodic techno and distorting them into new forms amongst vast, unfamiliar landscapes.

‘Dust’ presents a glitchy melodic lead which unravels itself through 7 minutes of sudden volume changes and expansive acoustics. ‘Bremsstrahlung’ deconstructs the components of a hypnotic techno track, repurposing them into a tense framework. ‘Dust Theory’ morphs the theme from the title track into an abstract cocktail of ambient wanderings and harsh noise pollution.

Afterlife Recordings continues its focus on emerging talent with the first solo EP of Ae:ther (@aethernalmusic), following his collaboration with Mind Against on ‘Solaris’ and a track on the Realm Of Consciousness compilation.

 From the textured atmospherics, harmonies and innovative sound design, it’s clear Ae:ther has found his voice already. Balanced between the powerful, emotive techno Afterlife is known for and more introspective experimentation, the three tracks share a tonal richness and patient headspace, lending themselves to the dreamy hours on the dancefloor.

Anjunadeep’s Explorations series returns this August with it’s sixth outing. Boasting five label debutants in Xinobi, Yunus Güvenen, Ole Beige, Ceas, and Westseven, and the return of John Monkman, the latest in the series is as diverse as it is distinct.

First up is John Monkman’s ‘Magnolia’. A cascading dive into the deep end, Magnolia’s haunting atmospheres and whirling leads culminate in an evocative track, triumphantly signalling Monkman's return to Anjunadeep after three years.

Featuring a infectious hook set to a pulsating chord progression, Xinobi’s ’Skulls’ is a floor filler for the masses, marking an impressive full label debut for the Lisbon producer.

Having recently released his first track in four years, Bedrock Records affiliate Yunus Güvenen steps up with ‘Lost In Sight’. Originating from Turkey, Güvenen’s production is both celestial and emotive, evoking the classic progressive sound of the 2000’s.

Ole Beige’s offering is an organic track imbued with tribal vocals and percussion. The German producer’s penchant for emotive house has previously seen the support from Pete Tong, epitomised in the soulful detuned chords and driven syncopated synthlines of ‘Tanzanian'.

A culmination of subtle percussion, nuanced keys, and soaring synths, Ceas’ ‘Parosse’ signals a promising future for the French Producer, previously one half of duo We Need Cracks.

Closing out Explorations 06 is ‘Seeds’ from Westseven, a new project from Kuala Lumpur based producer Rory Gallagher. ‘Seeds’ sees Gallagher bounce deep arpeggios off a brooding bassline to craft an enigmatic and hypnotic atmosphere.

We asked close friends and long time idols to play their part to the full to complete the third edition of the label’s Family Horror compilation series. The outcome is a clear snapshot of the musical inclinations of the three label founders, Sevensol & Map.ache (aka Manamana) and Bender, encapsulating an idiosyncratic, modern house sound that demands an emotional response. 
The compilation comes rounded off by a booklet of photographs from Ria aka Lux which just like the music captures some of the beautiful ‘Good Times’ from this very special period, this time on paper.

Family Horror X

Jacques Bon & Eugene Pascal -  Château D’Eau (From Family Horror X)

The seventh volume of Drumcode’s annual A-Sides compilation hits with no less than 10 debuts for the label, with Charlotte de Witte, ANNA, B.Traits and Scuba’s SCB project, among the collection of topline artists to release their maiden productions on the imprint. 

Over two decades into its lifespan, Drumcode keeps evolving and excelling, pushing techno forward while remaining wholly respectful of its roots. This reputation for progression was further fueled this summer with its inaugural festival at the NDSM Docklands in Amsterdam, featuring a long list of heavyweights including Nicole Moudaber, Joseph Capriati, Amelie Lens and Ida Engberg, among others. 

As ever, the A-Sides compilation provides a timely opportunity to showcase the full range of its sonic repertoire, with Adam Beyer scrupulously selecting 22 unreleased tracks that have taken prime position in his sets over recent months. 

Outstanding all-round talent ANNA kicks off the compilation with ‘Portable Paradise’, a pulsating cut that sets the tone for the top-shelf club cuts to follow. Also entering the debut field with their first ever Drumcode dalliances are B.Traits and Charlotte de Witte. The esteemed Canadian selector offers up ‘I Feel The Music’, a euphonic track that’s been sought after since spring, and the Belgian ballista unlocks a thick-edged club bomb in ‘Remember.’

Leaders of Drumcode’s new brigade, exciting Brazilian Wehbba and British techno alchemist Boxia set out to impress. Wehbba’s straight-talking ‘Just’ hits with an immediate sense of urgency before neck-snap claps strike with force, and Boxia’s ‘Final Call’ elicits physical engagement with mellifluous vocals and soaring pads. 

Continuously looking to bolster the profiles of emerging talent, Berlin-based producers Weska and Juliet Fox are brought into the fold with equally engaging razor-sharp tracks that are primed to do lasting damage. 

Other notable highlights include an exhilarating workout from Reset Robot - the most released artist on Beyer’s imprint Truesoul – as he lands on Drumcode for the first time. And tastemaker’s favourite Jel Ford makes a welcome return as he ushers in techno rhythms with bustling breaks in ‘Nightshade.’

Elsewhere, support from label mainstays comes in from Bart Skils, who offers a work of consummate skill in ‘West Of The Moon.’ Alan Fitzpatrick, who’s been heavily featured across the A-Side series, joins forces with Scuba as he operates as his uncompromising alias SCB. The result is a propulsive floor-gripper that testifies to their masterful deftness as co-producers. Formidable duos Dense & Pika and Pig&Dan also contribute with powerful compositions.
