As &MEs last two EPs on Keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his KM034 for sure will meet high expectations from DJs and crowd alike. What should one do within this sort of spotlight? Boil up the same old formula? Milk the cow? Play it safe? Well, &ME is rather going for the dont overthink it and just do whatever you like-option. Which in case of this "One On One"-EP is a collaborative effort with English singer/songwriter-enigma Fink thats letting musicality rule over functionality.
The titletrack on A comes creeping over the floor like an ash cloud. Built up on a grainy beat-pattern, having all lightness dashed out by droning bass, before Finks vocals are exorcising the ghosts of a heavy comedown. "One On One" has shaken off the facility of peaktime-consensus, before the straight kick comes in, but even that unmistakeable floor-referral is invalidated by gloomy harmonies after just a few bars. An obvious move against leadsingle-standards, but considering its omnipresent dark narrative and ultimately condensed vibe, "One On One" is without a doubt one of the strongest &ME cuts ever.
The offering on B1 might be considered as a bit more handy, but still: "Cape Coast" is rather grooving along a serious jungle-delirium than delivering easygoing beach-pleasure. A lot of hissing and chirping and rattling going on in between dense synth- and bass-layers, while live-recorded percussions are escalating into frenzy. Tribalhouse of a rather demonic breed.
Finally, Fink is stripping down the original outline of "One On One" into a sinister and subtle Dub-interpretation on B2. Blurred delays, sparse synths and occasionally implemented kick-detonations, reminding of an alarmingly lowered RHR. Meaning even wider room for his charisma breathing croon.

Hardware and synthetizer enthusiast, Lepyong plays with his TB-303 like a natural extension of his own body. Insipired by early rave 90s, video games and gabber's hallucinated hoovers, he delivers a dark and melodic acid techno, made for intimate listening but also giant dancefloors.

Passioné maladif de synthés et de hardware en général, Lepyong utilise la TB 303 comme si c'était le prolongement naturel de son corps, tirant son nom de scène des sonorités si particulières produites par le fameux synthétiseur. Inspiré par l'early rave 90s, les jeux vidéos et les hoovers hallucinés du gabber, il délivre une acid techno sombre et mélodique, calibrée aussi bien pour l'écoute intimiste que pour les dancefloors massifs.

Aquarian and Deapmash debut on Bedouin records with their first collaborative EP, "Aegis" as "AQXDM"

Despite living on two separate continents and having never met in person, they bonded over a love for breakbeat techno, grime, jungle, breakcore, and immediately wrote their first EP.

Merging Deapmash's high energy, industrial grooves with Aquarian's idiosyncratic, genre-blending approach, the result is highly effective peak time techno infused with massive kick drums, spastic breakbeats and soaring atmospherics

Todd Nickolas and Dominic Paterson were born and raised in rural South-Western Ontario Canada, an unlikely setting for the kind of leftfield music they grew up with and eventually produced. They had the good fortune of having older relatives into alternative underground music, so much of the late 70s and early 80s were spent plundering record collections and making mixtapes. Todd and Dominic met in high school, geeking out over each other’s Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode shirts. In 1987 they started making music together, which wasn’t easy to categorize as their personal styles and musical tastes were constantly evolving. From synthpop and EBM/industrial, to electro and early hip hop and house music, to post-punk and dub and all points between, whatever the duo encountered was embraced enthusiastically. The transition into the techno and ambient years of the 90s was therefore a natural one, their early influences always finding their way into their productions one way or another in addition to the new sounds they were creating. The rave era was a revelation for them, because there they found their people and scene. The anything-is-possible optimism that went along with it coincided with a general twentysomething feeling of youthful euphoria about a world full of possibilities. Infinities of Life was originally released in 1994 as part of the 12” Universality EP (Floorshaker Productions). This percussive techno-trance track perfectly captures the xtc euforia that swept across warehouse dancefloors back then.

TREMOR - THE NEW ALBUM - 31.10.25

Pre-order: https://danielavery.ffm.to/tremor-store

Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery returns with a new album and live show, his most ambitious works to date. Channelling every corner of his sound, Tremor is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery, yet dramatically evolved.


With the album Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.

“This is a living and breathing collective,” says Avery. “Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through which we could all pass as artists”, he reflects. “It’s the welcoming spirit of acid house with the doors flung open wider still to allow in every influence from my musical journey: the warmth of distortion, the stillness inside intensity, the transcendental beauty of noise... They have always been there in my music but now it feels like those ideas are being transmitted in Technicolor. This is a record for the post-rave comedown kids, the guitar heads and anyone else who wants to come along for the ride. Everyone is welcome.”

Tremor will be released by Avery’s new home of Domino on 31st October.
