Wow nice to realize that there's still some real music out there

tech house

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

Following last year's soul-stirring 'Incandesence' EP, Sly Faux slinks back into the MOOD camp with three more startling technoir escapades.

Goosebumps set to shudder: from the moment the palpitating sub and kick pattern of 'Dandellion' blooms into life, a fully immersive tale unfolds. The ghostly yearns, Rahmondau's harmonically layered, melancholic vocals, the cosmic textures, the overall rising sense of tension, the overwhelming low end… The young Australian talent is playing with some very fine alchemy right here.

'This Made You' flips for a much more visceral experience. Pounding tribal drums, ricocheting percussion and an abyssal drop into black hole bliss give no hint of the evocative cathedralic arpeggio that emerges midway. Gradually, some might even say slyly, Faux enshrouds us in a mystical hook that twists and turns, alluring our imagination with it. Once again, it's another mesmerising trip.

Finally MOOD mainstay and respected Spanish sonic craftsman Marino Canal closes the show with a fittingly beautiful remix. Subverting the lead and running it through his own maze of questions, answers and heavy emotions, it maintains the original's spiritual charm while adding its own narrative.

Overt techno mysticism at its finest, delivered just when we need it. We expect Sly Faux will be prowling back into the MOOD camp very soon again…

Magit Cacoon returns to Rebellion with her second EP, History In The Makin’ . A brace of hypnotic originals supply dreamlike soundscapes, with LA-based DAVI remixing second track Aussi into a deep technoid realm. 

A slow forming construction builds around a sturdy sub-bass and unrelenting perc line for the opener, History In The Makin’ . Magit reveals, “the hypnotic, melodic repetition that concentrates itself on the vocal keeps one in the moment, in a crimson red frame of mind... warmth stemming from the beats do not take the fascination off the words sung but instead accompany them, making the track whole.” 

Second track Aussi leads with dynamic hat programming, as a calm, spoken vocal sends this already trippy cut into a something transcendent. DAVI ’s remix possess more bounce from the off, as he switches Magit’s minimalistic trip into a deep and techy groover. 

The Berlin-based producer/DJ began her electronic journey in her homeland, Tel-Aviv. She started Girl Unit in 2011 and has furnished labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Knee Deep In Sound, Variety Music, and Muna Muzik with her hypnotic sound, plus released her debut album Other Dimension in 2015 on Upon You Records.

Romanian Native BOg makes welcomed return to Watergate Records, joining forces with LKF Project for new EP ‚Her Song‘. 

With a string of releases on some of electronic music’s most compelling labels including Crosstown Rebels, Bedrock and Diynamic, BOg has steadily forged his reputation as one to watch. Following his input to the ‚Watergate 25 – Adana Twins‘ compilation with ‚Tribelune‘, BOg returns to Watergate Records, this time teaming up with exciting new vocal-led outfit LKF Project who have already made waves with a release on Agoria’s Sapiens imprint.

‚Her Song‘ is driven by the sombre, ambient vocals of the LKF Project, underpinned by its undulating bassline. It ebbs and flows, gradually culminating to deliver a satisfying dancefloor moment. The dynamic Dub version of ‚Her Song‘ sees the track’s energy intensified, propelled forward by its intricate layers and breakbeats. The EP concludes with ‚Discrete Class‘, both rolling and introspective, it perfectly fuses the groove of house with the asceticism of techno, a sound that BOg’s signature style lends him to.
