Short info: Concept record alert! “Fairlights” by Fort Romeau is a tribute to the – technically minded readers might raise an eyebrow – Australian Computer Musical Instrument that people like Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock or Kate Bush fell in love with during the late 1970s/early 1980s. Anyways, if Fort Romeau's current album is like painting with oil, “Fairlights” is like drawing with permanent marker- to quote the man himself. All based on the word Saku, you will experience an epic journey evolving around heart-breaking dance-floor romanticism, jaw-breaking beat exercises, life-affirming ambient digressions, and a general feeling of spring fever.

Origin One is my debut album – a journey through hypnotic melodic techno and driving tech house. Deep kicks, heavy rolling basslines, and atmospheric layers merge with robotic vocal textures to create a soundscape built for both underground clubs and big Ibiza stages. From emotional, dreamy buildups to harder, peak-time drops, each track captures a unique moment on the dancefloor and invites you to lose yourself in the flow.

A standout cut from the Ballroom Records catalogue, Light & Color by Kostas Maskalides is now featured in TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 5 — a chapter celebrating the more melodic and house-driven side of our sound.

Defined by warm grooves and emotive atmospheres, the track highlights the refined, melo side of Ballroom’s Melodic House & Techno identity.

Enjoy listening!!!

Last year Detroit's Octave One released their fifth studio album, Burn it Down, on their own 430 West imprint. It’s an LP that deftly explored their hallmark sound – a combination of fluttering synth stabs that dovetail themselves into patterns over the top of polyrhythmic drum lines – but it represents a little bit more than just a continuation of their sound; as an album Burn It Down does exactly what its title infers, refreshing the currency of the duo’s legacy and representing how far they and the techno scene they subscribe to have developed. 

To follow the album they’ll shortly be releasing a single release of ‘Jazzo/Lose Myself’ and to accompany it they’ve commissioned remixes from two UK producers that they really rate, Paul Woolford and Mat Playford. So ahead of Octave One’s imminent performance at Detroit Love this Saturday night when they’ll be bringing their live set to Room Two, we’ve been given the honour of unveiling Playford’s version of the track which expertly plays on the original's synth work but goes heavy boosting the kick drums creating in a track that's perfectly suited for the wee hours…

“Krywald and Farrer launch new label Top Pocket Records. On the first release Moff and Tarkin introduce the EP with classic sounding house track, Trafalgar. It’s crunchy hi hats expose a raw, fizzy feel to it from the offset. As it picks up momentum, playful piano samples litter the show and a jaunty melody pave the way for an attractive finale.”

Following their debut release of revulx’s self-titled EP, Montreal based label @cosmictonesrecords is set for its second release later this month. Montreal Pleiades is an EP long in the making, featuring tracks from six separate producers from across Canada’s underground scene. Ura-Dust, @mattsalaciak, @priori-ties, @duste1, @Bunzinelli, and @richardwenger all feature on this collection of spacey, dubbed out tracks. While each track brings its own flavor to the table, each selection features the peculiar textures and sounds which define the Cosmic Tone aesthetic. 

Having designed the album artwork himself, Bunzinelli’s B2 track “Hyperloop” is easily one of the standouts. Jumping right into the almost jungle-acid bassline alongside an IDM breakbeat, the track thrusts itself forward with dreamy pads and an additional low end groove to accent the rhythm section. Each element occupies its own particular space, working with each other to keep a clean and clear mix. With everything else drenched in reverb and hollowed out, the drums cut through and punch above the rest. Minimal synth melodies delay and drift into the background as the beat continues to twist and shift with fills and breaks. It’s a heady workout for warming up the floor at the start of a long night.

Having enjoyed a slew of sell-out releases and events that celebrate the most striking up-and-comers in the dance music scene, the third record from Cardiff-based label Haŵs moves away from its former VA-showcase format and invites previous alumni Ari Bald into the limelight.
 With a quartet of light-footed tracks that tread gracefully through the bottomless sub-genres of electronic music, Ari Bald’s homespun, Scandinavian influences pervade through each track like a utopian summer outlasting its contract. Rearing up the project with the heavy aid of synthesisers, the “Pesce” EP is a plush, musical panorama submerged in sub-aquatic sunshine. Murmurs evolve into soulful odes throughout the four-tracker; Ari’s playful attitude to his productions is ceaselessly evident within each verse, and the record flutters without stagnation between hybrid jams, classic sounds and intellectual deep house.
 The titular opener “Pesce” is an effervescent arrangement of arpeggios and post-disco samples that skitter under the wing of an ephemeral breeze at dusk. Its harmonies ebb and abate – and just like that, it’s all over. “Club Contradictory” speaks for itself; it’s a glorious paradox of emotions that is both energetic and leisurely, like an aeronaut fixed at a high velocity but happy to throw its course onto autopilot just to enjoy the view from way up high.
 Navigating back down out of the clouds to a level that skims intermittently upon a glassy lagoon of breaks, two-step and docile electro, “Sunday Wool” is a B-side preamble that swoons upon the sight of itself in the water. But with each instant there must be a successor, and as the arches of synths upsurge and disassemble themselves, “Umberto Arpeggio” reforms. The closing track is a melting pot of vintage drums, Italo jingles and classical house touches – still soaring above ground-level, but fervently pursuing a higher trajectory.
 Think of that warm-hearted, sentimental state of mind that bubbles up in the most starry-eyed and transient of daydreams. The “Pesce” EP seems to expand the present; it catches those fleeting moments, holds them up to enjoy just a little while longer, before letting them go to retreat under the horizon.
