(SPRING SPECIAL) Lotion's fav pics: May 2021

"Reminiscent of all the slippery vinyl that glitched under so many sweaty wet fingers in a steamy basement before time - a picture that seems highly illegal in our current antiseptic climate of hopefully germ free adolescents. Vax-inate! Give them the needle! It’s time. "

Berlin nightclub Sameheads do another family roll call for their next V/A compilation, the aptly titled 'Vax!'. Like their previous outings they've rounded up artists with close ties to the steamy, sweaty basement to help keep the spirit of the club alive and well. For this instalment they welcome Chikiss & Mustelide’s new group, Deti Vechnosti, electronic hardware trio Automatenfall, Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani, Alexander Arpeggio & OhLandy, Frankfurt’s MMODEM member Das Kinn and our pick from Romain Azzaro's Rouge Mécanique alias.

Vax!

PREMIERE: Rouge Mécanique - Down The Line [Sameheads]

Zadig - Space Time الزمكان EP 
Sotor Records - سطور 
Release date: 20/05/2021
SOT01
Vinyl & Digital

Zadig kicks off the new Morrocan imprint, Sotor Records featuring remixes from heavyweight techno talents Perc and Oscar Mulero.
Zadig is a French techno artist who has roots that date back to the 90s. He has played at major festivals and clubs globally and has an enviable discography that takes in vital releases on Deeply Rooted House, Tresor, Syncrophone Recordings and many more. He is also part of the Unforeseen Alliance live project with Voiski, Antigone, and Birth of Frequency, who are label mates on his Construct Re-Form imprint.
The first release, ‘Space Time ‘الزمكان EP is about the lines of physics and metaphysics. Zadig kicks off the EP with the hammering فق الحدث - 'Event Horizon' (Day Is Dying Mix), an all-out assault slammer with wall rattling synths and punchy drums. Perc has done everything from industrial noise to acerbic techno on his own Perc Trax label and a host of other fine and well-regarded outlets. Here the UK mainstay remixes فق الحدث - 'Event Horizon' into a white knuckle ride with synths and snares fired out of a machine gun across the face of a tight, flat-footed liner techno groove. It's perfectly pure and intense techno.
Zadig's next original is السببیة ال دائریة – 'Circular Causality' and is a hyper-speed, rubbery cut with coarse hits and soaring leads that drive into the future. There is a raw funk in the beats that make it all the more irresistible. Oscar Mulero is a towering presence on the European techno scene and has been for years. The Spaniard is السببیة ال دائریة Warm Up Recordings label boss and a regular on the label and sub-label Pole Group. Here he flips – 'Circular Causality' into a pounding weapon with expansive kicks, highs balanced with dark, shadowy bass that makes it all the more compelling as your mind gets twisted inside out.
There are no-nonsense, high-grade techno tracks designed to make an unforgettable impact, which they do with effortless style.
Zadig ‘Space Time الزمكان’ EP is out via Sotor Records on 20th May 2021.

"UVB76-019 joins the dots between the labels core artists and co-conspirators from across electronic music. Fielding tracks from Overlook & Positive Centre, Monica Hits The Ground, Stave & Grebenstein and In Half Light, the 4-track EP tip toes the outermost edge of the UVB-76 sound, a frontier where techno, meets industrial, meets avant-garde."
Full streaming of Stave & Grebenstein's track "A03", another off-beat edgy track, the usual outcome when these two forces get together. Massive slabs of industrial sounds, oblique hypnotic techno undercurrents and layered electrical tunes are combined. An impressive combination of proper dynamic sounds, setting the industrial architectural atmosphere.

Sterac - Numbers EP 
Mote-Evolver 
28th May 2021 
MOTE059 
Vinyl & Digital

Steve Rachmad, aka Sterac returns to Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver imprint this May to release the 'Numbers' EP.

Since his earliest days in the scene, Amsterdam's Steve Rachmad has created a legion of monikers to cover his compositions' variety and broadness. One of them being Sterac which focuses on the deeper and more obscure end of the techno genre. The Sterac discography consists of signature cuts, spread out over genre-defining labels such as M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, Afterlife, Mote-Evolver, Indigo Aera, and Delsin.
His 'Numbers' EP sees Steve drop the first release of 2021 under his Sterac alias as he makes a return to Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver label with four tunnelling techno tracks.
Kicking off the release is 'Ghost 37', which employs vacillating grooves, ominous synths and intricate mechanics before 'Lost Track 22' fuses sizzling 303s, dynamic drums and mammoth, alien-sounding modulations.
On the flip, 'Rey Fur 2.1' keeps the energy flowing with a high-impact clapper featuring bustling fx and expansive tones until 'Tr-15' masterfully rounds off the EP with twisting synth flutters, rattling highs and hypnotic bass grooves intricately unfolding underneath.

Sterac ‘Numbers’ EP is out on Mote-Evolver on 28th May 2021.

https://youtu.be/9G2QuPFcPek

Berlin stable made of CONCRETE bring to light a new titled Modern Regulations by emerging Spanish talent BLANKA who is into raw and punchy productions on her own Room Trax or Animal Farm.

Alongside three original tracks is a remix from the ever consistent and impressive MTD who goes under his new alias Rhythm Assembler who sometimes ventures out of his own Methodical and Sonntag Morgen imprints with appearances on the likes of Affekt, Monocline and Nachtstrom Schallplatten.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the remix of the title track “Modern Regulations” with a sumptuous and pulsing ride. The furious waves of sweeping pads act like a demonic chime fusing energy into the groove, while the subtle, perky hook adds the right touch buoyant spirit to this distinct, raw techno jam.

CRYPTONYM—ENFORCING NEUROSIS (Stave Rework)

Tresor is glad to announce the first in a series of digital releases to celebrate Tresor’s 30th anniversary and the next generation to come: Fireground release their debut EP - Dualism.

Fireground is the collaboration of Angela and Daniele, who are predominantly known for their output of Techno and Electro via their own label R12 Records. The Napolitan duo deliver a timeless release that's expertly connecting classic Birmingham sound of the 90s and early 2000s - think Surgeon’s Tresor trilogy - with current research in Techno.

"Joy Of Life" is a real troublemaker, blending hard-edged drums and wooden percussion with classic dub chords for the absolute dance floor peak. A modern approach to a classic sound - sweet, wild and strong - for the resurgent dance floors of tomorrow.

Listen to the premiere of "Terra Incognita" by Indian producer Dotdat for the fourth installment of the System Revival charity compilation.

This charity compilation aims to raise money to supply art materials and music instruments to the organization Wave of Hope for the Future: https://waveofhope.org

Based on the island of Lesbos, Greece, the organization has founded a school which helps provide opportunities for refugees and particularly children within music, art and sports.

Dotdat is a manifestation of the musical philosophy and inspirations that drive the man behind it. A culmination of ambiguous, dark and hypnotic sounds with hints of minimalism that make the mind and body move. With techno at its core, he promises to carve his niche and deliver a unique and special experience that explores new dimensions of melody and movement.

Following acclaimed releases on Planet Mu, Sneaker Social Club and his own imprint Raw Basics, Anthoney Hart returns with three contemporary rhythm centred rollers under his Basic Rhythm alias. 

Wonked out percussion and vocal accents undulate over distorted kicks, subtly building tension in the EP title track “Pepper”. 

On the flip, “3am On The Corner” takes things down tempo with broken drums and moody pads accompanied with a haunting sax melody.  This eclectic release concludes with “Moonlight Flit” bringing heavy hitting percussive UK Funky energy over a deep pitching sub.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new JANEIN' gem on 'Seelen Records'.
Label head and part-time intergalactic traveller Janein’s second full EP on the Imprint is simply huge.
The Title track takes you for a wild ride from the second one. 
In comparison, Gaja tones it down somewhat with mellower synths and an absolutely funky Bassline.  
This track will ensnare you into its hypnotic chokehold. 
It is the kind of cut you can play in any situation and not a single person will leave the dancefloor.
