@maara

There is a culturally and perhaps spiritually bonded link between electronic dance music and what could be called most generally ‘the feminine divine’. In subgenres more oriented to trance and EDM, the vocal sample or progression is almost always uttered by a woman, unlike the variously-sexed divas of house; if divinity is invoked, it is less often a biblical God than some Gaia-derivative. Radiant Love’s fifth release, Goddess Within by the Montreal-based producer Maara, steps into this lineage stretching from Magna Mater to disco queen – Maara’s articulation of the feminine divine, however, is often off-hand, ringing at once sincere and deeply cheeky.
 
The double-side is summed up by the first track’s title, 'Goddess Within (Give It To Me Daddy)', which starts right off with a pumping bassline, carbonated synths, and a repeating sample speaking ‘goddess’ – what trance dreams are made of. What places these tracks especially in the realm of dream are Maara’s washes of delay, reverb and pan, drawing out melodies and textures into trails, clouds, blurs. The sonic fields are decentered, but driving and floor-ready regardless. 'Mommy’s In Trouble' follows up with a set of cleverly phased hi-hats and a swung kick drum. It’s a buildup we’re hearing, although one wouldn’t know until a sample asks us matter of factly, ‘Notice what you’re feeling. Are you calm?’ and the bass swings back in.
 
The B-side begins softer, with the wide pads of 'Plum Plum Paradise' eventually dropping into a downtempo break. The percussion is muted, and what gives the track its body is a shifting terrain of sample (‘Allow yourself inside, the time and space right now’), gurgling synth note, windchime and whisper. Goddess Within’s final track, 'Lezzies In A Jacuzzi' picks up the pace again, with a porny bass-throb, insistent hi-hats and a vocal fragment looping the word ‘amor’. This is exactly the kind of sound that would have me thinking on the dancefloor, Is she actually saying ‘amor’? Quickly I would reach the decision that it didn’t matter – the whole terrain of the actual, the explicit and undreamed is best left to masculinity anyways.

MAARA - GODDESS WITHIN

@humanmovement-aus @made-in-paris 

Human Movement and Made in Paris have both established themselves as revered tastemakers in Australian Underground dance. Hailing from Sydney, having sharing stages, remixes and also a close personal friendship, today the duo unleash their first collaborative single, 'Feel Me'.

Their unique ability to create atmospheric soundscapes with driving percussion is well on show here, a battering kick and high hat combo acting as the beating pulse of its 6 minute run time. Eerie vocal lines set its anthemic tone combining perfectly with the track's ethereal rave melodies.

With both producers operating in two distinct dance lanes, they mould together to create a club roller smack bang in between their sonic identities.

B1: Dolly - Don't Forget The Moonscreen

The drive had been long and tiring. They'd travelled for miles across the beautiful countryside in search of a mythical road, the talk of numerous legends and stories told by wandering folk. Search for the scenic route is what he'd always been told by friends and people like him. However, never had he imagined that it might take him this far in his search or quest. 

The sun began to set in the distance and soon the cold chill of the outback would be all that was left to remind them that they were alive out here in the midst of the nothingness. Perhaps it was meant to be this way he wondered. Cold, aimless and in search of something not certain could be found. 

AK-ONE's 'Scenic Route' is transformed into an ethereal progressive journey by Bristol based producer Remotif following recent appearances on Coymix and Pleasant Life. This one touches upon elements of trance and Goa inspired influences - a big track for big lofty rooms.
