Human Beings - The Matrix Ep

B1 The Matrix (Plaid Remix)
B2 The Matrix

Distribution: Clone

Out on Nov 25

Back in the nineties, Human Beings were pioneers in the Dutch techno scene. And The Matrix may well be their finest moment. SoHaSo gives this stone-cold classic the re-release it deserves, together with a magical Plaid-remix and a forgotten track, straight from DAT.

Together with Quazar and Fierce Ruling Diva, Utrecht-based duo Human Beings were among the very first brave enough to go live, back in 1992. Dance music was still called house or techno. Other flavors only came later.

Both Allert Aalders and Bert van der Grift were proper nerds. Their studio was filled to the brims with vintage synthesizers and drum computers and all machines were constantly challenged. Van der Grift sadly passed away in 2005 after a sudden cerebral haemorrhage, marking the abrupt end of Human Beings.

The Matrix ticks all the boxes of a proper Human Beings-tune: crystal clear melodies sweeping from corner to corner, ultra-clever drum programming and a main theme that knocks your socks right off. In the energetic live version, they have shaped the track to perfection. A secret weapon that works wonders on dancefloors, even 30 years later.

London duo Plaid strip The Matrix to its bare essentials, focusing on the main melody while giving the kick a bit more oomph in a Plaid kinda way.	

Ghost in the Shell is exactly that. A forgotten off-beat track, made during one of those many sessions in Bert's crampy studio. Its murky downtempo rhythms take a nod to both Meat Beat Manifesto and Renegade Sound Wave. 
Ah, those golden days....

Exclusive: Cabale - Do You Ever Feel 

For the 30th release on Sengiley label boss Denis Kazacov invites ten artists to deliver a musical potpourri the imprint has been showcasing throughout the years, namely House, Deep House, Garage, Breaks etc. Having a preference for upcoming artists or hidden talents "Capital Peace, Love And Unity" gives a platform for those again and therefore comes up with lots of fresh ideas and cuts. The master of (electronic) heart broken beats and bass Cabale delivers a melodically infused Garage-driven banger, which goes by the name of Do You Ever Feel. The French artist's piano-chords as well as implemented chopped vocals make their way hand in hand on a spicy bassline turning the track to a well-balanced meaningful deep cut that can serve for both: a night out in the club or late night tales for the home.

The VA Capital of Peace, Love and Unity will be released on Sengiley Recordings.

Exclusive: Delphi - Imagination 

Flexi Cuts' sub label Incognito Trax is back with the fourth outing of pure musical pleasure with five tracks from Macchianera, DJ Spranga, BB, Disco 3000 and Delphi. The latter is also part of Tiger & Woods and contributes the B1, Imagination, to the potpourri of extraordinary music. Imagination is built upon a carrying and pulsating bass line pushing the listener respectively the dancers through the five minute lasting joyride, which is partly interrupted by little filter-breaks to heat things up even more. But it surely is the track's vocal sample and catchy chords that make Imagination one to remember - in the club, on the floor, and around. 

Incognito Trax 04 will be released soon.

art:cast °147 | Boulderhead

With a good few releases under his belt on labels such as Gene On Earth’s The Sound Of Limo, Gestalt Records, The Sound Of Steam or Craigie Knowes Bristol-based artist Boulderhead has built quite a formidable discography since 2020 and if pressing plants weren’t as busy as they are, the Welsh would have even more music of himself out there. Aside from releasing own music Henry James, Boulderhead’s real name, runs his own label Mint Tea, on which he’s been putting out VAs only so far, also including music from himself under his real name. However, since the label is a passion project according to Henry it does not follow a regular releasing schedule but now seems to be back with an EP and maybe more. In an interview with Torture the Artist Boulderhead speaks about the success of his latest release, the future of the label, how he likes his tea served and more. Additionally he’s mixed and compiled the latest edition of the art:cast series and it’s a deep-treat.

Interview

art:cast °147 | Boulderhead

Marshall Watson and Cole Odin take a break from their solo output to come together on the
‘Just A Daydream Away’ EP, each delivering two unique original tracks comprised of chugging
psychedelia, folky rock elements and sun dappled balearica. Remixes come in the form of
Hardway Bros. whose refit channels an early nineties indie-dance rework, coming across like a
classic lost Screamadelica track. The second remix from Joe Morris leans into the psychedelia,
delivering an acid soaked sunrise experience.

A2. Just A Daydream Away (Space Flight Mix)
B2. Just A Daydream Away (Hardway Bros. Remix)
