very nice! another ace vinyl treat @deeptraxrecords !!

Oi! This is Nathan Kofi, introducing; “Voltage Controlled Love Affair”. A story about love, love for frequencies, love for the journey, love for the culture and love for ‘the self’.

This record will be my debuting ep since my name changed from Nathan Surreal to Nathan Kofi. And that transformation is evident throughout this ep. The A-side kinda represents ‘the old me’. A1: My Heart Will Go On and A2: Words of Affirmation are both tracks made a little while ago and are cut out of the same wood; a family affair if you wish. They consist of similar samples and thus share sonic DNA, yet reveal two completely different characters in their experience.

Both tracks are fundamentally rooted in a classic ‘house’ ethos and display the use of vocals to enhance the listening experience while it progresses to its full potential. Although the “a1” exudes a more galvanising upbeat energy with a strong pulse triggering bodily movements, the “b1” takes a different route and evokes a more collective meditative journey; hence the title.

Moving over to the b-side. This side represents a new me; personally and musically. Both tracks are rooted in a sense of authenticity and fresh renewed energy. This side moves away from the 4-to-the-floor formula and introduces breaky patterns and melodic experiments.

While a lot of people, including myself suffered through several lockdowns triggering mental struggles as a consequence, I had a really hard time finding peace and balance in life and in the studio. B1: ‘Platonic Intimacy’ is the result of many frustrating studio sessions trying to find my mojo back; trying to reinvent myself to rekindle the experience of bliss and joy while music-making. This track, in particular, brings up the topic of writer's block, mental health and blockages alike artists are suffering from. But when those demons are fought, those barriers are broken, mountains are moved – It is the start of something new, and beautiful; ‘Platonic Intimacy’. The B2: ‘Candy Girl’, in essence, a straight-up sugar-coated electro banger with a mood, yet simultaneously signifies the power of ‘reclaiming’ what is yours.

Best,
Nathan Kofi

Nathan Kofi - Voltage Controlled Love Affair EP

Pollinate Records founder Dashiell offers his first LP "This Colourful World" to the label. 

The album was recorded at his home studio in Coburg, Melbourne and features field recordings of the surrounding area. The process began at the beginning of 2020. Originally intended as an ambient album, the project morphed over the course of two years, adding and subtracting rhythms and varying tempos until coming to its conclusion, a sonic rendition of an uncertain future, equally as optimistic as it is cynical.

Dashiell - This Colourful World (Snippets)

Those lockdown silver linings continue to reveal themselves when we least expect it… As proved, once again, by the inimitable Amsterdam techno HQ Deeptrax as they present this stunning analog exploration from scene stalwart Mark Peeters AKA Caim. 

Inspired, created and sculpted during those strange times when none of us could rave, Caim simply describes the moment by saying the “clubs were closed, but creativity kept on floating”… Now that floatation is bequeathed to us through these warm, rolling and wide-armed frequencies. Tapping into a spirit that goes right back to Detroit and Chicago, there’s an understated groovemanship at play as Calm jams out on the same instruments house and techno forefathers used to sculpt this culture. 

Music to get lost inside of, music to take away the stresses of the day, music that’s a joy to mix, weave and tell stories with… Caim has created another timeless collection of grooves that could resonate with or relate to any period in the last 35 years of dance music culture. 

From the warm, opening rumbles of ‘Nepi’ to closing rippling dubwise echoes of ‘Kapura’, very few stones are left unturned as Caim tells a tale of the ages that we can all float to. Here’s to silver linings.

We're delighted to present @Eversines new album on ninih. "Dwang" brings together his most personal work thus far, this record being Remco's outlet to process and make sense of difficult experiences. Unsurprisingly, this results in an exploration into a darker, trancier side of his musical spectrum. 

The two of us having developed a deep bond over the years is clearly reflected in how this album came together. It's the third collaboration between the two of us, of which many more to come! ❤️

The 'Dwang' album will have 500 copies pressed and is out 20th of April at your fav record web/store.

Eversines - Dwang LP [ninih004 snippets]

Eversines returns to Pieter Jansen's yeyeh/ninih platform with his second solo album, Dwang, an evocative sonic exploration of the themes of inner struggles and personal growth. Sequenced like a DJ set, Dwang traverses dreamy ambient, breaks, acid techno, and trance over four sides of vinyl, telling a compelling story about the peace we can find when we yield to a higher flow.

The track "Elev" by Eversines is an energetic and pulsating acid-infused breakbeat track. With its infectious beats and intricate melodies, the track is reminiscent of the electronic music of the late '90s and early '00s, when breakbeat and acid were at their peak. The track is characterized by its driving rhythm, intricate synths, and acid bassline, which create a hypnotic and almost trance-like atmosphere. Eversines has successfully blended the old-school acid sound with modern production techniques to create a track that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Dwang LP is coming out on April 20, 2023

Sam Brickel - The Pulse of Life LP (ANIMA8)

After four years, De Lichting is back with a new double album: Drie Nul Drie!

This fresh addition to the infamous compilation series revolves around a central theme: The 303 Acid Bassline.

The double LP format has always been the weapon of choice for the crew when it comes to implementing diversity in their musical story.

Despite the 303 being a rather limited concept, everyone within the collective finds a unique way to approach this classic element that has been rinsed for decades.

From the typical techno bomb of “MJM002” to the sneaky after hours tech gem “5421”, or the Detroit influenced chill-out cut “Tool”, the album bursts with playfulness and creativity, while coming together logically sound wise.
