Aus Music proudly present their final release of the year which brings with it the return of recent signing Paul Woolford. The Houndstooth and XL Recordings regular continues to refine the emotionally charged drama of his recent work and in doing so, enhances his constantly evolving catalogue with a continuation of the recent ‘Heaven & Earth’ EP on Aus. 


The ‘Father, Son & Holy Ghost’ EP sees Woolford propel heart-wrenching melodies with thunderous drums in a manner that only few are capable of. Progressing with resolute intent, the package includes 2 club-ready cuts and the beatless, string-laden ‘Son’ which completes a release of radically heightened compositional intensity and rounds off a stellar 2016 for Aus.

‘Plannt’ begins with some unaccompanied moody chords which quickly fold in favour of a truly arresting electro composition, and this is where @shinra truly allows himself to shine. The underlying rhythmic sirens help to highlight the sheer density of this track and its elements: the flexible and richly layered nature which persists throughout means that ‘Plannt’ is one that can suit both listening on the floor and on headphones in equal measure.

The Meteor EP is out May 12th on @analogicalforce.

[AF012] JAMES SHINRA 'SUPERNOVA EP' [2018]

‘Palais’ is a 12 track multi-faceted exploration of Kris Baha’s musical sensitivity. The one man band’s namesake LP title, ‘Palais’ is based around the concepts of alienation, detachment, melancholia and lust. All songs written, performed, recorded and mixed by Kris between 2015 - 2018 in Berlin, laced in his signature industrial sound.
‘Palais’ encompasses a range of shades from dance-floor works ‘ Living Nothingness’, 'Brink Reality (Part 2)' & 'Non For The Sane’ to experimental cinematic undertones 'You Told Yourself This Would Get Worse’. Also embodied are modern classics like the machine funk metallics of ’Steel Sands’ and ‘Defied’, a year 2042 cyber punk hit. There’s even a dark room inspired theme for the black leather lovers. From his own batch of psychedelia to post-punk and electronic romanticism this album is full of surprises and Cocktail d’Amore Music is absolutely proud to present this outstanding work.

Carl Finlow has been one of the most singular voices in electro for over two decades. From the records he makes under his given name to his numerous collaborations and alternative monikers, Finlow’s music is suffused with playfulness and imagination. Silicon Scally is the most prolific of Finlow’s alias projects, and on Dormant, the third Silicon Scally release for Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit, Finlow constructs four pieces of thrillingly futuristic broken-beat electro.

From the opening cut ‘V Electro’ to Dormant’s closing title-track, Finlow’s production is incredibly detailed here. These tracks never stand still, their little cells of synth and percussion always evolving. When combined with some stomping drum programming, the final result is an EP which has that rare balance of endless danceability and genuinely innovative production. It’s the sound of a master creator letting loose while also managing to keep everything in the pocket, a marvel of moving parts.

Dormant’s tone is set from the first booming beats of ‘V Electro’. The track’s dense mesh of dystopian synth nodules will have you thinking of the nastiest, scuzziest Unit Moebius tune - if the aliens came to take you away, ‘V Electro’ is what they’d be playing as they beamed you up. Following track ‘Bode’ tweaks the vibe of ‘V Electro’ in a couple of key ways, jacking the tempo up to around 140 bpm while also incorporating some funk-flexing organ stabs which give ‘Bode’ the flavour of a Herbert production blasted into hyperspace. 

Dormant’s B-side kicks off with ‘Proximity Sensor’, a cut whose steady drum pulse and chunky bass motif take us back to the very earliest days of rhythmic machine music - Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and the like. Mind you, the track’s slinky synth lines are pure Drexciyan machine-funk, a vibe which is kicked into overdrive on Dormant’s eponymous closer. Finlow’s most intense production on the record, ‘Dormant’ is a polyrhythmic whirl which completely sweeps you up, leaving you no choice but to submit to its devilishly danceable impulse.

After a few recent drops which have expanded the sonic world of Central Processing Unit, Silicon Scally’s Dormant EP is a reminder that the Sheffield label still does circuit-frying electro better than anyone else out there.
