Songs for Mix Set - 2017

MIXMAG v4 3

Out now on vinyl and digital - https://lnk.to/CRM182

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.

A true master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to just one synth, resulting in “interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice”.

Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX 1 and HARMONIX 2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere.

Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, and released on labels including; Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir.

Hot Creations deliver their first artist album of the year with the Parisien luminary Popof's, 'Love Somebody'.

Jamie Jones & Lee Foss' Hot Creations imprint has successfully straddled the gap between underground house & techno and more crossover vocal led disco-infused dance music since it was launched in 2010.  The fourth artist album to be released on the label, Alexandre Paounov AKA Popof's long player elevates the chic beats and smooth rolling melodies of house music to new heights, opening the world to fresh palatable tastes through tracks such as 'Your Eyes' and 'Lidl Girl'.

Maintaining a grasp on the dancefloor, tracks like 'Pack n Rollin' and 'Going Back' strike back to Popof's roots as a former member of the free-party underground collective ‘Heretik System’ in Paris. While ‘Words Gone’ has already found great favour through remix treatment from Luciano, Marc Houle and Jamie Jones and the second single ‘Going Back’ features remixes from Eats Everything, Lee Foss, Oxia & Miss Kittin and Luca Donzelli & Mar T.

Sublimely captivating and with the right balance of emotion, 'Love Somebody' is a statement of intention for an artist with a heavy artillery of experience, ready to fire in new directions. This album is the perfect combination of hooky house rhythms, understated techno production and evocative vocal melodies that you'll hear everywhere this summer.

Mariano and Diego, AKA DJs Pareja, are a bit like the Argentine Pet Shop Boys. They've been deejaying and producing their own music since 2004, and after two LPS and six EPs they are still going strong, both as a couple and deejay duo. www.buttmagazine.com/club/mixtapes/a-couple-of-deejays/

LEE VAN DOWSKI@WATERGATE, BERLIN- 16.10.2016

We love Berlin. If the winters weren’t so cold we’d probably live there, so commuting from Ibiza to Berlin on an October weekend is about as good as life gets for us. Even better that we got to DJ at one of our favourite clubs, Kater Blau. Here’s our recorded set from the night…

Mr. YT - Brand New Day | 2xLP | Digital
Pre-Order: https://apollorecs.lnk.to/brand-new-day
Released 10th March 2017

----------------------------------------­--------------------

Apollo / R&S are proud to present a compilation album of a series of classic EPs of timeless vibes and lush percussive excursions from overlooked Japanese innovator Mr YT AKA Yuji Takenouchi.

The 'Brand New Day’, ‘Southern Paradise’ and ‘Parfum’ Eps were originally released between 1997 - 1998 on Apollo Records and R&S sub-labels Generations and Global Cuts.

Over the intervening years, the EPs' heady blend of atmospheric pressure, balmy pads and deep grooves has percolated, gathering fans across the globe, to the point where original copies are in high demand on the secondhand market.

Created in the late 90s on a hardware set up of Roland Super Jupiter, Roland JV1080, Roland D550, Yamaha TX81Z and Akai S1100, Takenouchi was burning with inspiration from the sounds of Ron Trent and Chez Damier, Basic Channel, House of 909, Ian Pooley and Carl Craig.

A video game musician by profession, Takenouchi was used to producing music for specific scenes / sequences - starting from scratch had him baffled. Deciding to set a theme or concept for each EP proved to be the breakthrough he needed, a day of new environment for 'Brand New Day’, yin and yang for  'Southern Paradise’ and imaginary fragrances for ‘Parfum'. Looking at pictures related to each of these themes helped to fuel his creativity while producing.

From the sun dappled balearic haze of opener ‘Morning’ to the blissed out bump of ‘Afternoon’, the gauzy euphoria of ‘Ocean In Heaven’ to the cosmic funk pulse of ‘Regard’, the music contained in the 'Brand New Day’ compilation remains as timely and relevant as the day it was released and should see Mr. YT appreciated alongside the likes of the US and European producers who first inspired him.

Nightclub EP

Premiere: Tiga Vs. Audion - Stabbed In The Back

Out Now on 12" Vinyl & all major digital platforms: TurboRec.lnk.to/NightclubEP

Following the mega-hit “Let’s Go Dancing” and the micro-hit “Fever,” Nightclub marks the third release from techno truth-tellers Tiga vs. Audion. To announce the EP, Tiga recently gave a lengthy audio press conference while driving a Turbo company car all the way down to City Hall. A partial transcript follows:

ON THE INSPIRATION

“Living in contemporary society? It’s a joke. But what’s no joke is that rough times call for rough customers, and this EP finds two top techno producers in the mood for ballsiness, reflecting the times with a harder-edged sound, harder-edged artwork, and harder-edged calls for our leaders to remember that the dance floor was built on unity, plurality, and unshacklable animality.”

ON THE TRACK TITLES

“After careful study, we came to the conclusion that the worse the titles, the more ‘techno’ the tracks. A-side ‘Stabbed in the Back’ takes its name from the fact that the track has keyboard stabs in it. Maybe my least favourite title of anything I’ve ever done, which is remarkable considering the runner-up was an unreleased stab-free track called ‘Doctors Without Keyboards.’ ‘Pink Bells’ was originally called ‘The Bells’ but I was told that this guy Geoff had already used it. ‘Nonstop’ got its name from the fact that I was really on a roll with bad titles at the time.”

ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS

“It’s extremely challenging to make instrumental techno with enough of a hook and enough of a funk to stand out, and it’s exponentially more difficult when I know deep down I could make everything alright so easily with just the sound of my voice. We bought a set of Bryan Adams Studio Flash Cards, which instructed us to make the kind of hyper-utilitarian dance tracks we could play in our own DJ sets. Sometimes, even musicians need to be reminded to put themselves first.”

​As Sian gets ready to release his second album ‘Capital Crimewave’ on April 10, the Octopus Recordings label boss sat down with Mixmag to discuss the vision behind the new material, his thoughts on the dance music industry and share a free download of the album’s bonus track.

Following the release of his debut album in 2002, Sian has released numerous dancefloor focused tracks, but has not returned to the album format. The new material is a departure from what many listeners have grown accustomed to and offers a new look at his unique approach to production.

As the new material stands out from the label’s catalogue, Sian revealed that he hopes to reach new fans and give existing ones a new side to his persona: “That’s how I see it going already from promoting this music over the last few weeks. The kind of people that are coming to us are the kind of people who would maybe also listen to Bonobo or Modeselektor. Or just good music in general, not so specific.”
