For the next instalment of Say What? we see two of our regular and powerhouse techno producers Greg Notill and Tony Romanello join forces to deliver an electrifying 4-track EP to set dancefloors ablaze and is a seamless fusion of their distinct styles!

The EP Starts off with 'Timeless' - a relentless banger characterized by its pounding bassline and atmospheric textures, setting the tone for the voyage that lies ahead. Raw sound design and deep pulsating stabs keep things rolling and driving, maintaining the energy from start to end!

'Patterns' is up next delving into intricate percussive patterns and evolving synths, injecting a surge of adrenaline with its rhythmical energy and hypnotic groove and being a testament of the boundless creativity and collaborative energy these two producers bring together.

Third up is 'Collateral Damage', the track that blends rhythmic complexities with infectious sound tweaks and takes the listener on a sonic assault with its deep energy that ignites the senses straight away from the first moment you listen to the track.

Last on the EP is 'Ingoma' - a high end roller that is both hypnotic and uncompromising, from the moment the needle drops, you are plunged into a whirlwind of distorted synths, thunderous basslines, and modular percussions!

Enjoy

PREMIERE: Greg Notill, Tony Romanello - Timeless [Say What?]

NVKLAS - Drown

Fragments of Time“ ist eine Reise durch Klang und Vergänglichkeit. Treibende 4/4-Kicks, tiefe hypnotische Basslines und cineastische Synthflächen verschmelzen zu einem Sound, der zwischen Traum und Realität schwebt. Jeder Track ist ein zerbrochenes Stück Erinnerung – intensiv, düster, aber voller Emotion. Von kosmischen Atmosphären bis zu kraftvollen Peak-Time-Momenten spannt das Album einen Bogen, der das Gefühl einfängt, wie Zeit zerfällt und zugleich ewig wirkt.
Ein Album für die Nacht, für endlose Raves und für alle, die in Musik ein Stück Unendlichkeit suchen.

Out now on vinyl & digital release - lnk.to/REKIDS114

Slam and Obscure Shape & SHDW step up for the second wave of Radio Slave ‘Grindhouse’ remixes on Rekids this February.

One of techno’s most iconic records, ‘Grindhouse’ first appeared on Radio Slave’s ‘No Sleep’ series before spawning multiple remixes from Dubfire, Danton Eeprom, Terence Fixmer and Nic Fanciulli. Kick-started by Len Faki, last year saw the announcement of a series of remixes with more to come from Vatican Shadow, Markus Suckut, Lady Starlight and Special Request.

Complete with relentless kicks, sinister drones and industrial elements, Part Two is not for the faint-hearted. Starting with Slam, the Soma bosses keep things dark, with rattling top lines and echoing effects resulting in a truly decadent techno floor destroyer.

Following a remix of Radio Slave’s ‘Vision’ in 2016, Obscure Shape & SHDW’s abilities are held in high regard by the Rekids owner and their rework of ‘Grindhouse’ reinforces why. Complete with a rumbling low- end, metallic melodies and soaring synths, the From Another Mind founders continue to establish themselves as two of techno’s most exciting names.

@setaoc_mass is one of my favourite producers at the moment and I'm very happy I could get him to remix my "The Universe Glows" track of my upcoming Parallax EP on @coyu 's @suara imprint. It's a very abstract version of the original utilizing the original elements and turning them completely upside down. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Out on Monday 19th March 2018, you can already pre-order it on Beatport.

<p>Three forces have come together to form the &#8220;Brick House&#8221; EP on Kombination Research, which serves as a testament to the grind and menace that emanates from these three collective personalities.Relentless beeps fire away from a rollercoaster of industrial rhythms, while frantic sonars rear their distorted head above the crushing drums. The ride continues into the AD_IN remix of Pt. 2, where mangled chords make their appearance and dissonant effects are sprinkled over the rolling affair.</p>

Advent – A coming, or an arrival, a coming into being or use. 

Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! 

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries. 

Cisco was born to Portuguese parents on the island of Madeira (Portugal). His family moved to London (1975) when he was five years old, setting the stage for his musical career. While at Paddington College (1986) in West London, he studied sound engineering and secured a job after graduation as an assistant sound engineer at ZOLOU Then later WALL Studios.  

At this period is when he really started to learn about Sound & Production, his 1st main recording sessions as an engineer were rock & “Inde” based bands & the studio owners being in successful rock bands. Matt Dangerfield & John Payne “ASIA” this 1st step was a start in learning about balancing & mixing down the rock way, which had a lot of intense & Raw energy especially on drums & Guitars.. 

Other bands Cisco did sessions for: P.I.L. (John Lydon - sex pistols) – Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) – That petrol emotion. Then Later Pop, Dance, Soul & reggae groups like: Wild Bunch (Nelly hopper & Massive Attack) – Marco Pirroni (Adam & the ants) - Maxi Priest – Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie) – Loose Ends – Cheryl Lynn… 

1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous “Summer of Love” in 1988, the genre’s golden period. 

Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax, “One of the 1st to release Acid House, House & techno in UK” moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson & Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later “Cisco Ferreira” EP on Fragile. 

His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums.

Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. 

As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle… The Saga continues.
