During the first lockdown in Tel Aviv, Guy Shaked – also known as Takiru – decided to take his music to other musical dimensions and explore his production abilities in different genres and tempos. The result is “Voices of July”, a colourful EP, featuring three originals and three remixes, in which every tune has its special story and mood. 

Takiru is well known for his previous releases that received support from acclaimed artists such as Moscoman, Jenia Tarsol, Chaim, and many more, and now he is proud to present his debut release on the respected Lisbon-based label Karakter. The remixes were made with love by Rina & Benji, A-Tweed (SXDNS222/FREEDL029) and Tempura The Purple Boy. 

Premiered here, A-Tweed’s version of the most romantic track of the release. In his interpretation of “Je Taime”, the Italian producer brought the love theme to his world, soaking the original into his characteristic weirdness: Distinctive percussive elements and a throbbing bassline yield the danceability, while the ethereal vocals deliver an eerie and erotic atmosphere.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://karakter.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE220 // Takiru - Je Taime (A-Tweed Remix)

Eclectic electronic duo Red Axes have today announced their new studio album One More City, due for release on October 27 via fabric’s new flagship label, fabric Originals. Celebrated for their boundary-pushing approach to electronic music and their willingness to experiment with different sounds, Red Axes have marked the announcement with the release of rollicking lead single and video ‘Kid Caffeine’ Ft. Clams (lead vocalist of post-punk band, Warmduscher). Speaking on the track’s narrative, Red Axes explain: “It’s a story that follows the twist in the life of the man who chases his own tail from city to city hoping to find the essence of life which is fame. We had the honour to work with the wonderful creature Clams, who wrote and sang this song.” 

Comprised of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi, Tel Aviv based Red Axes are informed by post-punk, new wave, and a plethora of club sounds old and new. Throughout their career they have cleaved a singular path with their hefty discography and eclectic taste. As a duo, they are the perfect exemplars of how self-belief and achievement feed into one another. They've played in bands together from their Tel Aviv schooldays, and were always driven by a sense that they were going to be great - but this wasn't arrogance, rather it was a fierce drive to live up to their own expectations. Over many years, that drive led them to dig deep into first rock'n'roll, then club music, releasing dozens of records with some of the most beloved labels around the world. The duo have a deep understanding of the connection between post punk and dance via their beloved Factory records, and in the 2000s the same dots were being joined by the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Optimo, Erol Alkan and the late Andrew Weatherall. Now hooked up with London's legendary fabric, they've come full circle bringing all of that together in the glories of their forthcoming album One More City. 

Albums have always been crucial to Red Axes's progress. As their work spread through the club / DJ world and their own DJ commitments sent put them in front of a wide range of different crowds, spending time in the studio every three years or so has been a way of retaining their focus and reconnecting with the fact that, however electronic their music might get, they are still a band at heart. And that's never been more true than now. They felt Israel's club scene has struggled to recover its sense of community post Covid lockdowns, and more widely the rise of "business techno" has prioritised a formulaic aesthetic over the sense of belonging they first felt in clubs. 

Which explains One More City. Made and mixed at home in Israel, it's a return to the rootedness of picking up instruments and jamming together. "When you're older," says Dori, "it's harder to regain that certainty you had in your youth. But when we hold a guitar or a bass, that's when we get back to that safe place, that's when we get our confidence again." And it absolutely shows: this is a record crackling with energy, mischief, pleasure and an understanding of how all the parts of the band's history fit together. Goth, new wave, techno, disco, minimalism - and, as Niv says, "this cheesy, glammy side too, we can't escape that!" 

It's a record overflowing with talent and distinctive voices, from Tel Aviv electropop / hi NRG maverick Autarkic to British/Turkish rapper / poet Janset, from Clams of London post-punk weirdos Warmduscher to Cole Alexander of Atlanta psyche rockers Black Lips. But for all that it's the tightest, most coherent, most truly Red Axes album yet. It feels like a single band, and as they rehearse and do their first festival shows, it's only going to get more that way.

Julian Stetter - a mainstay on Mireia Records (for good reason); and by now a world renown specialist for all-encompassing and euphoric experiences on the dance floor (with his work on Correspondant, PNN, Kompakt & own akwa). His sound - chunky and towering, but never dull or ordinary. Tiny fragments dance around solid bass lines; a dense atmosphere is amended by his versatile melodic syntax.

Here is his latest addition to Mireia Records following "Napa" and "Jaipur".

JASCHA HAGEN - A TOUCH OF COLD WATER
https://lautundlui.se/jascha-hagen-touch-of-cold-water/

Oh sweet melancholy. Jascha Hagen is back for Luise's largest sibling and takes it all down a notch. »A touch of cold water« is a tale of minimalism and awareness, carefully placed and well defined elements, light spaces and echoing rooms. A string of tracks that vary between unfazed euphoria and sober retrospection, slightly out of tune like the voice in your head. Who needs to wipe off the dust when it scratches so nicely.

I Lost My Poncho In Instambul invited a champions team to remix "ILPI001 - Pigmalião" and present to you the debut EP "ILPR001 - Pigmalião Remixed".
Starting by the head honcho from "Themes For Great Cities", monsieur Lucas Croon remixing the track Aurora, spicing the groove with some beautiful classic drum machines and trippy atmospheric layers. M.RUX's wonderful version of Zingili transports you to an unexpected, soft and intriguing territory while flirts with syncopated schizophrenic grooves. Ground's minimalistic version of Baskéda jumps into a hypnotic acidic vibe full of surprises and intense for the dance floor peak. And "nel gran finale" Rodion's cyberpunk version of Bahiafro has an imposing strong bass line attitude and futuristic layers.
