My set

On 22 September 2014, the highly prolific Spanish DJ/producer Dosem returns, with his hugely anticipated third album ‘City Cuts’ on Coyu’s illustrious Suara imprint.
“It's an album inspired by urban life which includes some of my experiences from the last couple of years touring different major cities around the world like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Buenos Aires and Barcelona.” Dosem.
Dosem, whose real name is Marc Ramirez, has been a prominent name within the global house and techno scene over the last six years and regularly features on revered labels such as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Carl Cox and Jon Rundell’s Intec, Technasia's Sino, John Digweed’s Bedrock, Gregor Tresher’s Break New Soil and, of course, Coyu’s Suara where he is classed as one of their core artists.
‘City Cuts’ still boasts all the unique production values of Marc’s previous acclaimed albums (‘Parallel’ in 2011 and ‘Origin’ 2013) but this time he progresses by showing us a different side to his musical prowess, delivering what feels like his most accomplished long-player to date.
“My last album was mostly techno,” says Marc. “With this album I wanted to show my other side, so it’s more house oriented. It's an album especially designed for dancing in a club but it also has tracks with soulful substance.”
‘Runnerpark’, the album’s impressive opener, is an immense production that encompasses powerful arpeggiated melodies, striking euphoric chord stabs and an unexpected dub-influenced breakdown. The album continues by showcasing and array of killer tech-house gems such as the funk-fuelled ‘Cos of Me’, the infectious disco-tinged ‘Expression’ and 90s-rave-inspired future classic ‘Cuts or Cats’.
Other highlights include, the super hypnotic ‘Message’ and the moody techno cut ‘Streetout’, which were released together as an EP earlier this year, as a precursor to this album, to much acclaim.
Aside from the wealth of dancefloor-focused tracks, there is also two incredibly inspiring electronic soundscapes in the form of ‘No Past’ Ft. Louder Bays and ‘Lost Taxi’. Akin to the works of Moby and Unkle, both tacks are totally mesmerising and add a further dimension to the album. Marc says “I’ve got to say ‘Lost Taxi’ it's probably the most emotional track on the album and I feel especially linked to it.”
All in all, ‘City Cuts’ is a very confident and imaginative long-player. While moving from track to track, nothing ever sounds out of place and is all tied together with an incredibly strong sense of melody. Developed like a well-crafted DJ set, this album is not only full of intrigue and excitement but also makes sense as a listen, highlighting Marc’s supreme talent, depth and versatility as a DJ/producer.

Glasgow’s Darkroom Dubs continue on form and add to a gleaming 12-year-old catalogue with another addition to their limited vinyl series courtesy of long-term label friends, Of Norway who make a welcome return. Describing their own sound as ‘like being lost in the woods in Norway’ they have released EPs through labels such as Dialect and Afro Art and now, in the follow up to their ‘Accretion’ LP on Connaisseur Recordings the Norse duo present their ‘Black Desert Disco Cult’ EP: a record that adds further refractions to their deep and foggy catalogue whilst remaining true to their trademark sound.

Road tested by the Darkroom Dubs squad and doing the business in Of Norway’s lauded live set - ‘Blackened Fez’ kicks things off. Galloping hats and dramatic snare whacks scuttle together towards a purposeful, rotating bass pattern before Arabesque guitar tones are filtered in and out of focus. Whining synths bleed then in and add to an accumulating sense of tension before Dame-Music owner Bloody Mary weighs in with a stripped and functional remix that drives armoured 909 drums with a churning sequence. Percussion is deftly handled throughout a rolling groove that keeps the pressure up.

The title track then heads up the B-side and kicks off with a textural synth line darting over thick stabbing bass tones. Mangled acid lines then roll into focus and are propelled by resonance control ahead of an 808 bass pattern and a rapturous synth line guaranteed to do the business on the floor. Hypercolour and Houndstooth affiliate House Of Black Lanterns then offers up a cold yet compelling take on Blackened Fez. Deep and dubby tones are set chugging under atonal drones and delayed percussive knocks that set a rich and tenebrous tone that caps off another fine addition to the Darkroom Dubs series.

** Support from Carl Craig, Joris Voorn, Seth Troxler, Skream, Jackmaster, Josh Wink, John Digweed, ZDAR, Severino, Huxley, LTJ Bukem, Hernan Cattaneo, Soulphiction, DJ Ralf, Huxley, DJ Hell, Frankey, Ambivalent, Danny Howells, Pezzner, Harri & Domenic, Karotte, Chymera and more... **

Masters of the spectral side of house and techno - Darkroom Dubs have garnered their loyal following through releases from the likes of Dubspeeka, Pedro Aguiar and Extrawelt. Now, in the follow up to the label bosses "Help Will Come" EP comes the next instalment from a new addition to the roster, the Spanish talent Scan Mode who lines up his "Panama Jaxx" EP.

A member of the Madrid Red Bull Music Academy in 2015 and with previous releases on Cadenza Lab, Esperanza and Surface (H-Foundation's Halo Varga Label) - Scan Mode has had a career in music spanning back to 1998. A writer for DJ Mag and a regular contributor to the Cadenza podcast series - Scan Mode specialises in a Detroit and Chicago inspired meld of progressive melodicism, aquatic synthesis and technical drum work that lends him perfectly to a record with Darkroom Dubs.

His latest offering kicks off with 1.1. Gently swung hats are sat aloft a plunging synth bed. An urgent stutter darts in and is contrasted against soft, allaying pads and propulsive resonance control before 1.2 drives frazzled drums through glacial tones and shimmering synth melodies. 1.3 then navigates a tough, persistent bass sequence under granular drums and a wall of interweaving melodies while deft sequencing has synth lines churning throughout as the pressure is kept high until the finale.

Next up on Darkroom Dubs are some eagerly anticipated releases from Id!r, Skinnerbox and Mariano Mellino. Also we can expect the work of Scan Mode to be included on the long-awaited fourth instalment of the Darkroom Dubs compilation series which is due for release at the turn of the new year.

June 17 (LEIF Remix)

Having been on the scene for over a decade, Wehbba has actually released a ridiculous amount of music. Labels like Tronic, 82 Recordings and Systematic have acted as a home for the artist but his forthcoming work on Padley's is some of our favourite to date.

The title track does the business but fellow Brazilian ANNA has served up the remix and it's more of the excellent same we've come to expect from the chart-topping producer. ANNA's seemingly got the golden touch and when she's not climbing the Beatport charts she's getting booked all over the world.
