In Memory of Alex T

Alex joined us out of the blue from Manchester back in late 2012 for his first year of Uni, getting stuck in with our local nights and radio sessions. It didn't take him very long to become a well loved and involved member of the local scene and one to watch on the 1s and 2s, those were a fun few years. As many will know Alex continued on his journey via Leeds to the World, working hard carving out an already very promising career. He was certainly on a path to becoming one of his generations greatest selectors and curators.... 
He will be missed but never forgotten X

All proceeds going to a choice of charity/ies via Alex's family  

NB Demo version, final master will be up soon…

Montreal’s sapphic mixxtress, the elusive mogul Maara, unveils her debut full length LP via Step Ball Chain. A pairing written in the stars, with twelve dynamically diverse and emotive soundscapes of downtempo bliss, spine-chilling drum and bass and elevated electronica - timeless anthems for sonic indulgence and reflection. Take a deep dive into the sensually charged inner workings of the already prolific producer’s mind. 

An effervescent atmosphere envelopes it’s way through the records entirety, whether it be gloriously lush pads, melancholic words and whispers from her own lips or subterrantian bass. Maara’s world of sound showcases the wild spectrum of emotion, the empathetic passion of joy in Awaken, Plum Plum and Sapphic Rehabilitation Centre alongside the darkness of Insidious Force or Rough ‘N’ Ready. But like most things, the purest beauty can be found within the grey areas, where majority of this records lies. A powerful ebb and flow between cloudy twilight and it’s recurring silver lining, Nothing Sacred wraps you around it’s finger whilst Erotics Of Betrayal pulls you in unexpected directions sure to conjure feelings you didn’t know existed.  

A masterfully united album from start to finish, each listen unveils endless intricacy, delicately and deliciously revealing the potent DNA of Maara.

Ron Morelli
"Heart Stopper"
2xlp
to be released April 28th 2023

L.I.E.S. Records founder, Ron Morelli, makes a rare appearance on his own label with his eagerly anticipated double lp, "HEART STOPPER". (LIES-200)

Heart Stopper is undoubtedly the "dance" record that reaches back to the early days of his L.I.E.S. Records label where artists such as Delroy Edwards, Steve Summers, Traxx, and Svengalisghost all came together digging into the primitive, foundational sounds of original Chicago, New York, and Detroit House music putting it through a contemporary lens. 

Recorded between 2019-2022, this lp is the culmination of many years of Morelli honing his craft, from digging and studying old records, to focusing and sharpening his production techniques, the L.I.E.S. boss has delivered an album that is a testament of his true love and obsession of the genre, with "Heart Stopper" being the record to cement the now iconic L.I.E.S. legacy even further.

In the often shapeshifting world of modern dance music, "Heart Stopper" is what a House record should be. Full of passion and unfiltered emotion, uplifting at moments, pensive at others; with raw, jakin' drum programming, big basslines, and anthemic synths driving the release throughout.

Over the 11 tracks we hear the depth of the production hitting all ends of the House music spectrum from WBMX style beat tracks (Just Another Old Beat Track, Tricks of the Trade), to seemingly lost Music Box tapes (House Music Revenge), to 89' style 727 anthem (Heart Stopper), or the piano driven, introspective "Time Stands Still". "Heart Stopper" is an all encompassing record in its scope and sure to appeal to true fans (and djs) of the genre.

Here we have Morelli's definitive dance music statement to date in "Heart Stopper." It is the modern interpretation of what came before and what the artist and L.I.E.S. dedicate themselves to- carefully crafted music that firmly places their signature in the present, past and future days of dance music.

Suffice to say, there couldn't be a more vital time than now for raw, heartfelt music such as this to be reintroduced into a confused and fractured dance music scene.

Adam Pits is back with his second album on Leeds based On Rotation ‘Synthetic Serenity’ represents the next evolutionary step of Adam’s sound design and direction. In stark contrast to his first album, ‘A Recurring Nature’, this new release moves out of the forest and into the digital landscape, capturing the sound of a future world over 8 varied tracks. 

Adam Pits talks about the inspiration behind the new album:

“It’s hard to put into words how much of an impact 2022 had on my life. I could talk for hours about the highs and lows, the journeys, both inside and out of my body. Or I could just make an album. 

Having delved into the deeper reaches of techno and ambient, I wanted to show my appreciation for these genres on the record. Atmosphere, clarity and warmth became the pillars of my new sonic exploration, with stress falling on my signature ‘journeying’ style. The album describes the idea of being at peace with machines and being open to the idea that in the future we will find ourselves more and more involved with one another. 

‘Synthetic Serenity’ is a product of a big energy release. It’s a testament to my acceptance of change in life and I believe it’s a true sign of my sonic evolution”

On Rotation is a Leeds based label, event & mix series run by Chris I’Anson, Lisene & Adam Pits.

First released in 1997 on Basic Channel's sub-label Chain Reaction, Robert Henke and Gerhard Behles debut collaborative album as @monolake is being released on vinyl for the first time, courtesy of @fieldrecords. To mark the occasion, we present the premiere of 'Index' - a propulsive dub techno chugger that extends over 10 minutes, this one dives deep into sub-aquatic wormhole territories and remains as fresh sounding as it did 26 years ago.

CUERPOS returns with the “En Dos Partes” EP on YUNG DUMB Records, a follow-up to their self-released record from 2021, “Plumas”. The title of the EP translates to “in two places” and is a nod to the duo’s diverse musical background in both punk and electronic music.

 The record features three original tracks – plus one remix – that span house, post-punk, and dub. With this release, the Canadian duo once again showcase their unique approach to dance music, fusing live instrumentation with raw vocal takes and dusty drums.

 The first track, Sueño Sin Fin, is an upbeat dance track that pairs a driving bassline with catchy vocals. This track is reworked by the Montreal-based DJ and producer, Regularfantasy, with the adventurous DJ and the dancefloor in mind. The third track of the EP, Malas Lenguas, is a moody, downtempo house cut with post-punk and dub leanings. Finally, the EP is rounded out with a dub track that features a lurching bassline, whirring FX, and live percussion.

 CUERPOS is a Newfoundland-based experimental music duo formed in 2019 by DJ/producer Francis Dawson and multi-instrumentalist Nadia Duman. Created with the intention of celebrating their Latin roots and recontextualizing the sounds they grew up listening to, CUERPOS combines elements from Latin and Caribbean music – cumbia, dub, reggae – with club-ready electronic beats and production.
