Even the most fun sounding job can become a chore. Just ask pornstars. And whilst we would never be tasteless enough to complain about working in the music industry here at Data Transmission we think it’s fair to say we have to sift through a lot of guff on a daily basis so you don’t have to. The reward? Well apart from our modest salaries the sense of wonder that comes when discovering brilliant new talent from around the world and then giving it a platform to showcase itself to you lovely lot.

Once such morning enhancing release came from fast emerging Amsterdam based producer Akka via his Rwina imprint and we knew from the first listen that this was a release we needed to share. Fast forward several rounds of pinging emails back and forth to now and we’re delighted to be able to exclusively share Akka’s new ‘Amazigh’ EP for your listening pleasures today.

Now let’s get a little back story on the release and indeed Rwina as a label.

In 2008 Akkachar founded the Rwina label, naming it after the word for never-ending chaos in the Tamazight dialect of his North African ancestors. Over the next five years he let the chaos unfold, building the label into an unpredictable yet reliable power house of dance and electronic music. Today he turns to his roots for his own debut release, a three-track EP inspired by and dedicated to the Amazigh (or Berber) culture found in Morocco's Rif mountains.

The music on Amazigh is constructed from field recordings of the Rif region blended with the electronic and club sensibilities Rwina has become known for. The old with the new, the past with the present.

'Eye of Zohra' is the imagined soundtrack to the night Akkachar's family ran away from their village over a hundred years ago. Using sounds from the Ain Zohra region (literally Eye of Zohra) it paints an epic sonic picture of a sad tale with sweeping synth melodies, rolling drums and booming bass. 'Spatial Scale' is more meditative, a song to zone out too and reflect. The barebones of the song were made in a day with EPROM and fleshed out with inspiration from the Tizi Ouasli village, where the wind in the valley and slow pace of life helped infuse a more relaxed vibe. 'Tanmmirt' closes things off, named after a speech in the same Tamazight language Rwina takes its name from. The speech forms the core of the track, scaled across octaves to add impact and backed by melancholic chords and arps. It tells the Amazigh to be proud and stay strong, and most importantly to never forget their roots.

Ces petites vacances au ski t’ont fait du bien, mais la route du retour est longue, tes potes ronflent à l’arrière, et c’est toi qui conduis au milieu de nulle part, sur une route obscure, à peine éclairée par la lueur blafarde de la lune… Heureusement t’as downloadé notre playlist « Night Drive » sur ton smartphone, pour te tenir compagnie. T’as bien fait. C’est tellement agréable. 

De skivakantie was leuk, maar nu wacht nog de urenlange donkere rit naar huis. Er is geen verlichting op de autostrade, je gezelschap in de wagen is al lang in slaap gevallen en de regelmaat waarmee de strepen voor je op de weg passeren brengt je in een diepe trance. Geen beter moment om met muziek een intiem moment met jezelf te beleven. De ideale playlist voor de diepere momenten in het leven!

Drake - Want It (Instrumental by Floss Beats)

Seattle's @kidsimpledubs caught our ears in the application process for the 2013 Red Bull Music Academy with his intricate, free-flowing layering of melancholic sound textures. With a sonic vision already fully formed early on in his career, the producer continues to add to his template on his new release for @hush-hush-records.

The <i>Silo Tear</i> EP is arguably Kid Smpl's most palpable effort yet. Apparent on the title track, which we are happy to premiere, the producer weaves in more abrasive rhythmical and textural elements than what we've heard from him thus far. Washes of noise add to the dramatic feel introduced by somber synths and sorrowful vocal samples, drawing connections to the work of Burial just as they to do that of fellow NYC Academy grad Evian Christ. Do yourself a favour and listen to this now.

<i>Silo Tear</i> is out on May 5th via Hush Hush.

Leeds-based house duo Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe have been working together as PBR Streetgang for coming up to a decade now, cutting their musical teeth on their home city’s infamous nightlife, and developing into an act that’s equally known for their quality studio output on labels like 20:20 Vision and Futureboogie, as well as their reputation for using the back-to-back setup to maximum dynamic effect in their DJ performances.

Thus as fans of PBR, when the boys take an interest in the development of an up and coming artist it piques our curiosity into seeing what said artist has to offer. After one listen to their remix of emerging singer/songwriter Charlotte OC’s ‘Colour My Heart’ she had not only our curiosity but our full attention as we set about securing the track for exclusive premiere here on Data Transmission.

With her debut Colour My Heart EP still making waves from last year as the Blackburn born Charlotte’s ode to a special night in Berlin’s Berghain and a full remix EP to follow soon get a taste of things to come on the upcoming release with this ace rework by PBR Streetgang!

Liar has flirted with club music throughout the entirety of his output – he’s touched on every conceivable genre and BPM, in the process accumulating quite the arsenal of trax that could warm up a rave, sustain it at peak time, or cool it down at 5 AM. But it’s always been an afterthought in the grand design of his shape-shifting auteur approach. With “Scorpio”, however, Liar intends to quit teasing the club and make her an honest woman.

That being said, his commitment is by no means monogamous. Not content to allow himself to be overly influenced by any particular sound that has graced his DJ sets over the past couple of years, he crossbreeds the exponential club innovations of Night Slugs in the wake of “Classical Curves”, the uncompromising vibrancy of the Parisian scene, and the escapism of the UK rave. Grime, jungle, ballroom, metal drumming, new wave, Eurodance, industrial, EBM, jock jams and the kitchen sink also inform the mélange. This is no mere pastiche reel, however. As an inherent geographical outlier, Liar is uniquely positioned to have a truly universal perspective on all the musical languages he incorporates, and he leverages this into an almost academic, yet highly personal oeuvre. Conceptually driven and titled by his ascendant zodiac sign, “Scorpio”, like its namesake, is probing, passionate, precise, powerful, and sometimes precarious.

Opener “Hyper-Ego” is equal parts grime tour-de-force, avant-pop, and machine music masterclass. The clap-happy formula and narcissistic aesthetic of Liar’s earlier “Alpha” beast is revisited and revised, diva house vox are cleverly repurposed, the production reins are held taut, and a resplendent, bleeding edge anthem emerges. 

“Key Party” is a distilment of countless snippets of keygen music and General MIDI classics into a cohesive retrofuturist operetta, adorned with frenzied rave vox and Fairlight-era samples, all of it tethered to a brutalist techno/ballroom hybrid. 

The cheekily-titled “Club Medz” is subtly elegiac in tone, serenading towards the balcony of drug culture from the terra firma of club culture. An 808 provides the rhythmic foundation atop which acoustic kicks pound away, seemingly affixed to a robotic metalhead drummer’s double pedal, while submerged strings relentlessly bellow and Middle Eastern Korg M1 licks provide the counterpoint. 

The oriental flavor pervades well into “Ha-REM”, itself also a double pedal pounder. Starting of as a molecular deconstruction of “ha tracks”, it explicitly mourns the demise of their novelty via its pitched-ha-crash-marche-funèbre, before erupting into an almost peerless drum workout, only to segue into the most poignantly emotional moment of EP. Its VIP is wholly suprematist, stripping it to its bare bones, unearthing a bold and tenebrous club tool. 

Closer “The Ballad of Scorpio” exists somewhere within the triangle of Detroit electro, world-beat and freestyle arena breaks. It is built around a vocoded stanza of one of Liar’s own poems - “Muzzled gun and hidden knife./Father’s milk and bits of coal./I am the evil in your life./I am the good inside your soul.” – which quite aptly sums up the spirit of the EP.

On the remix tip, Foba reworks “Key Party” into trapstyle house, injecting tribal NY groove and toning down the brutality. Conversely, Spurz ramps said brutality up to 11 for his acidic “Key Bump” club weapon edit.

An ode to past, a testament of the future, and a commentary on both, “Scorpio” is Liar’s present for the present. Raise your head if you believe.

Early support from Bok Bok (Night Slugs), SPF666 (Club Chemtrail) and Ra’s Al Fatale (Gang Fatale).

"These tracks were born out of experimenting with a bit of self-imposed restraints. Afterlife was a particular sound palette I wanted to stick to and see what would come of it. They came out of a period that was actually really prolific for me and hope to share more soon, but these two stuck together with a playful spirit. Some fun for the end of summer, as we tread into winter" - JG

On February 10, Praveen Sharma aka Braille (one half of Sepalcure) will arrive on Friends of Friends with the Everyone’s Crazy EP. Utilizing an organic sound palette and a vast repertoire of on the cusp production techniques, Braille’s first release on FoF positions the Brooklyn-resident at the fore of sultry, beat-based music that doesn’t shy away from letting the listener into the interior world of Sharma himself. Everyone’s Crazy will function as the precedent to Braille’s forthcoming full-length debut, Mute Swan, coming Spring 2015!
