Pre-order 'Trance Frendz' on LP/DL: www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP081
or digitally iTunes: snip.ftpromo.net/trancefrendz

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

If you look up the meaning of "like a kid in a candy store," the Urban Dictionary will tell you it's a state of utter fascination, with many good or tempting things all around you. It then gives the following example. "In Amsterdam I was surrounded by weed, shrooms, pancakes, and cheap whores. I felt like a kid in a candy store."

It kinda sums up how i felt when it came to choosing the second single for the forthcoming RÜFÜS album. SOOOOOOO much good shit to choose from - but what to go with next? So much choice, i got confused and went for a surf. Which was when it hit me just how good these boys are at writing hooks. "Like An Animal" was stuck in my head the whole surf, so much so that i pretty much had to get out of the water and race back to tell Danny, their legendary manager that yep, I agreed with them - "Like An Animal" should be the next single.

So here it is.

Single two and another page in the beautiful story that is Tyrone, Jon and James aka RÜFÜS.

Oh..but most of you are djs right? :) Well…..we got remixes don't u worry…..Dom Dolla DESTROYS it with his cut….absolutely his best yet!!!! French Express main man Isaac Tichauer takes the deep route while Swiss trio Trinidad get all warm and organic on us like they do so well.

Soul Clap's training goes beyond history lessons to mastering all the elements of the DJ: knowledge, mixing, programming, performance and experience.

As the Boston bred international ambassadors of all things funky, Soul Clap have built a cult following worldwide both through their solo endeavors and via their Crew Love brand formed with Brooklyn’s Wolf+Lamb. Musically, the duo blasted into space with a series of game changing edits (including the summer 2010 anthem Extravaganza), originals (Action/Satisfaction & Lonely C) and remixes for Laid Back, Metronomy, Little Dragon, Robert Owens, DJ Harvey and more.

Back in March, Soul Clap curated the 3rd edition of Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz Recordings producer-driven compilation series "Tempo Dreams", showcasing new styles, emerging artists and the best of their beatmaking peers, in a dynamic LP of unreleased modern funk, electro soul, and leftfield house music. Flash forward to December, and the boys are set to release commissioned remixes for three of the most breakout tunes on the album.

Today, we premiere the club mix of Soul Clap's very own offering to the compilation, 'So Sedated'. With the original mix being a chugging, synth heavy ode to the transformational powers of the dancefloor featuring druggy, understated vocals by Dayonne Rollins, its club mix is a pure, foot stomping jam.

"Tempo Dreams Vol. 3: Remixes" is available 11 December on Bastard Jazz Recordings

'Rush Hour' features thick kicks, brooding bass tones and mystical synths but it's the second half of the track where everything comes to life. That tropical slant makes a return alongside dwarfing low-end rumbles, making this a cut that keeps you on your toes throughout.

MadTech Records delivers its first EP of 2016 with February in the shape of Solardo’s ‘How I Work’ EP, a three-track collection from the UK duo. 

Mark Richards (MRK1) and James Eliot aka Solardo have been on the rise over the past couple of years with material for Skream’s Of Unsound Mind imprint, ViVa and their very own Sola imprint, as well as picking up support from Boiler Room for their debut and the likes of Jamie Jones, Skream, Steve Lawler and Matthias Tanzmann. Here the duo push on with a fresh three tracker release via Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records. 

Title track ‘How I Work’ opens the release and sees Solardo fuse chugging bass grooves and crunchy percussion with infectious vocal hooks and acidic synth blips, resulting in a dance floor ready twist on contemporary house music to open the release. ‘Beat That’ follows and lays down a similarly hypnotic groove fuelled by rumbling sub bass tones, acid licks and looped vocals uttering the track title. 

The package is rounded off with ‘Digital’ which takes on a classic electro feel with 8 bit style rhythms, penetrating square wave bass hits and mind bending pad swirls throughout, MadTech once again proves it’s a force to be reckoned with in 2016 via this exciting new act.

Solardo - How I Work

Three impeccable pieces of stripped down, unfeigned tanz trax make out the debut release of Esther Silex – deejay extraordinaire, Colognian woman-about-town and very dear new addition to the Studio Barnhus family. The gargantuan yet free-flowing bassline of Hans, the menacing tension of Heinrich and the dawntime anthem Oskar all prove that Esther possesses that unique West German swagger which so often results in timeless art, presented with equal parts simplicity and beauty.

Herbert: Monaberry’s totem old timer, Super Flu’s dear old Opa, house music’s favourite septuagenarian and all round legend returns…

It’s been a while since he last curated a Monaberry collection (his hearing aid kaput throughout 2015)The last time being summer 2014 with Monaberry’s now-vintage ’25 Years Monaberry’ collection. But now he’s dusted off his curating cap, gently leant his walking stick against the wall, shouted “what?” a lot of times, moaned about his clicky knees, yearned for the good old days and, finally, put together one of the Halle-based label’s most beautiful collections to date.
 
Fresh out of the care home, Herb’s first pick – Super Flu & Viktor Talking Machine’s ‘Plastik’ – leads with the gusto of a man a third of his age: a twinkling arpeggio gazes up to clear night skies building in momentum with the beats and a pulsating bassline. Laced with a dramatic breakdown, you’d be advised to stash this one for the next festival marathon.

The melodic tech textures continue as Herb welcomes Boston’s Robot Love to the Monaberry fold with the touching slice of anthemia that is ‘Numbers Station’. A clipped hook gently persists with chiselled insistency. Timeless and driving, Herb tells us he picked it because it’s great to walk around the supermarket really really slowly to. We love it because it will take your dancefloor to a whole new level. Last spotted on ’25 Years Monaberry’, fellow Halle hero Martin Waslewski returns with a wistful piano-primed stroller that sees Herb striding gently but confidently towards a destination unknown (probably the chemist to
get his meds). No walking stick required. Monaberry mainstays Hanne & Lore take old Herb (or Herbie to those in the know) out to the choppy tech seas late at night, sharpen up their finest synth hook and reel in a big one. Like all fresh produce, ‘Tuna In’ is crisp to the taste and will satiate the hungriest of dancefloors. Having previously remixed Super Flu, Dortmunder Philhamoniker and Philipp Armbruster’s ‘Volkwein’, Bebetta returns to Monaberry with her label debut; an ageless groove powered by soft chord changes, mild jazz
textures and faraway crackles, it’s Herbert’s favourite for fireside chats. Finally, Parra For Cuva brings us to a touching finale. Just in time for Herb’s afternoon nap, ‘Borneo’ is awash with dreamy lilts, lingering instrumentation and positive chords. All brought together by shimmering guitar strums and cosmic ripples, listen closely and you can hear Herb smoke-belching in sync with the splashing cymbals. 

Respect your elders, respect the grooves, respect one another: 2016 is about to commence and Herbie’s picked the winning soundtrack to break it in.

Diynamic’s ‘Four To The Floor’ series now hits installment number six in fine style. Behind each of the four tracks are a crack selection of artists old and new, all of whom are making their debut on the label run so famously by Solomun. 

After marking 2015 with a stand out debut Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, our final offering is from exciting newcomer Jonas Rathsman with ‘Cobalt’ — a slick and propulsive track with staccato bass, driving beats and lots of turbulent late night synths that really get your attention.
