premiere | Schulz & Brauer - Here We Are (Julian Stetter Remix) | Conexa Records

Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Trulz Kvam and Robin Crafoord have so much in common when it comes to music that they are like “one person with four arms in the studio”. Despite having particular influences, the two friends ace in seaming their individualities and mutualities together in order to deliver their characteristic sonority.

Featuring nine originals plus two Club Edits of “Inside Of Me” and “U Get Some” and one Instrumental Mix of “This Is Love”, their forthcoming album, “Out of Sync”, coming soon on Snick Snack Music, is a true showcase of the duo’s capabilities and inventiveness and embraces as many House Music styles as you can possibly imagine plus a couple of impossible-to-pigeonhole stuff, like the theme we were solicited to premiere.

“Divine Electricity” is an intricate and out-of-the-box cut with a powerful attitude triggered by its invigorating breakbeat gait and heavy acid atmosphere. The icing on the cake is the unyielding vocals by Chuc Frazier.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://snicksnackmusic.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE480 // Trulz&Robin Feat. Chuc Frazier - Divine Electricity

'Cassy returns with ‘E.T.Ascension’, a mini journey through the sounds of house and techno which she adores. With this release she revisits the simplistic methods she used when making music in previous years when living in Berlin with her then husband, where he helped build her home-studio in the living room. With him being an established sound engineer she learned a lot from him through the process and by using predominantly just an 808 and a PC, the pair produced the main parts of these tracks together, with Cassy finishing them off herself last summer. It reminded her of the weirdness that makes her productions so great, which is what she has pinned on this release, enjoying the feelings of freedom by using the machine again, and revisiting the feelings she had when using the machine for the first time, how fresh, new and particular the sounds were.

A break away from DJing and being reunited with her beloved vinyl collection has re-centered Cassy’s focus; to be wild and free in expression and to set aside any need to fit into any trends, genres, or boxes. As a DJ, producer and singer/songwriter, her prolific force in dance music and reputation for excellence spans two decades, and Cassy is here to stay.

About ‘E.T.Ascension’ EP, Cassy says:

‘The whole idea to this record was to work more like i used to when i was still living in Berlin, when i started working with this setup i felt that the sounds were fresh and it was nice to revisit these feelings using the machine and to reinvigorate my myself with my weirdness in producing music and also my vocals, i felt connected with that part of myself as a producer again. I’m a huge fan of The Persuader and Swedish techno, so I was obviously super happy to be able to work with him. We're doing a remix swap together and I absolutely love the remix he’s done on this release.’'

A dry lump had formed at the back of her throat, making it difficult to swallow. Her teeth clenched in sync with the rest of her body, the anxiety slowly creeping from her head to her toes. He took her hand and held it tightly, forcing her to focus on her breath and inhaled deeply. "You can do this" he muttered under his breath, "trust me". She looked up at him and smiled then, on the count of three, she braced herself and jumped.

Following contributions from the likes of Bufi, Colossio, Kincaid and Thomass Jackson, Hanzo & Yaman welcome a new member to their Belly Dance Services label, Tel Aviv-based producer Mishell.

bio :

We are all the product of our influences and there is no substitute for experience. Damon Jee is the embodiment of that statement. Over the last 20 years he has carved a career in a very unassuming way, unintentionally writing an exciting new chapter for the global electronic music scene. He is the journeyman who managed to shine brighter by staying true to himself, a musical alchemist experimenting with different sounds to create a deadly new potion. Today, the producer is considered the main exponent of a fresh and exciting new scene many are calling Dark Disco. 

Getting his start in the studio alongside fellow Frenchman Olivier Giacomotto, the duo became main players on the then booming electro house scene with an impressive run of productions on labels like Definitive and CR2. As he started producing more solo works, Jee naturally veered towards his rebellious heritage growing up on nineties rock and industrial bands like Nine Inch Nails, The Pixies, Nirvana and more. The organic appeal of live rock seeped into his productions: distorted guitars gliding atop fat, off-beat and two-fingered picked bass, all framed within a foundation of percussion and drums that carries Damon Jee’s immaculately engineered and distinct sound. The music he released under his NOZZ moniker is especially steeped in this unique and heavy-duty sound: powerful productions which doubles up as heat seeking missiles aimed straight at the heart of any dancefloor.

It was his remix of Pardon Moi’s ‘Power to the People’ that really pushed the affable Frenchman to  a wider audience. It has it all: trance melodies and cosmic chords, a confidant rock stomp coiled with electronic euphoria, and robotic vocals gleefully riding a wave of energetic drums. It received support from the world’s best tastemakers including Solomun, Job Jobse and HAAi, introducing Damon Jee to a brand new audience. 

Today his singular sound can be heard on the underground’s most sought-after labels including Roam, Hafendisko, Suara and Sincopat to name a few. Huge support came in the form of Jennifer Cardini who signed his massive three track Chamaniac EP to her Correspondant Records. Its appeal reaching wide, the EP received support from various corners of the electronic music sphere with a diverse group of DJs from Andrew Weatherall to Chris Liebing to Joris Voorn all getting around it.

The natural evolution of Damon Jee has lead to the recent launch of his label, Critical Monday. The new imprint will explore Damon Jee’s idiosyncratic sound even further. The first release under his Holographic Planes moniker, alongside producer Alvaro Cabana, is a three track dance floor bomb featuring an equally effective remix from Jennifer Cardini. With upcoming releases from Curses, Autarkic, Fairmont, and, of course, Damon Jee, the label is set to become a go-to for those looking to ignite any dancefloor.

Today Damon Jee is slotting perfectly into his role as a bona fide headliner. Years of experience ensures each set is delivered with a confidant ease and professionalism that sets him apart from the rest. Headlining clubs and events from Spain to Australia to Mexico, Damon Jee is set to spearhead a new generation of electronic music lovers who isn’t afraid to cross-pollinate their music for a thrilling new sound. If you need an antidote for a flailing dancefloor, Damon Jee has the tonic to revive your night.
