In A Time Lapse - The Remixes

Experience (Starkey Remix)

here's a production of Cantu's slow creep style that 
many will be astounded coming soon on the box set 
for the Modern Electronic Element Serie 3..

D'Marc Cantu- Zip Drive No Data Saved Snip

Eighteen months after serving up his debut LP "Fallen", D'Marc Cantu returns to his other home from home, Crème Organization. He’s back with a six track EP, Alternate Frequency, that sees him explore the same prickly analogue house and techno that has made him into the revered producer he is today. 

The title track opens up the EP with fizzing analogue synth lines and a nervous, howling melody before acid, muffled vocals and coarse claps all get chucked into the dense sci-fi mix. 'Size And Shape' is a more propulsive and dancefloor facing track. Surfing along on a lively kick drum, repeated vocal phrases interact with choppy percussion, glowing pads light up the backdrop and a delightfully lively melody runs amok at the centre of it all. Like an old school garage house track in overdrive, it’s full of charm. 

'Straight Shooter' is then a zithering, 100 mile an hour piece of skeletal acid techno that grows ever more frantic and 'Tazakuro' is a lively analogue brew of cowbells, freewheeling synths and tumbling drums. ‘Titanium Control Arms’ lurks deep in outer space with the humdrum of intergalactic space travel gurgling all around the central melodic motif and 'Speed Freak' is just that, a hyper-driven bit of electro with frantic percussion and riddled with unnerving synth lines that makes you want to jiggle every bone in your body.

Desert Heat - Desert Whythe (live at Hopscotch Music Festival)

Introducing Ghost Culture's exciting debut EP 'Mouth', which is about to blow you away with beautifully enveloping, soul-prodding electronica. Pristinely produced, a song shimmering with lucid analogue soul and wholly sexy, "Mouth" sits somewhere between Depeche Mode and Deetron. Glistening with water-drop wonder, each element sparkles as the mid tempo groove develops with liquid grace. Reflective vocals fall delicately over the mild acid bubbles, complementing every slinky, purring twist and turn. For added measure there's also an instrumental which showcases the track's more naked beauty. Backed by 'Red Smoke'.

South Soul Project - Dark I Feel

HEAD MASTERS TWR72’S SEQUEL RELEASE ON FLOAT RECORDS IS CALLED 'DEFORM'.

Their journey to examine the perfect groove continues with these two straight forward tracks. The original Deform infiltrates onto the lower parts of the groove where the spacious tom bass challenges the main percussion bass. As a result, an uncommon groove appears, which gets stimulated by an suddenly appearing unusual sound continuing throughout the track.

The linear version is even more stripped down to the essence of the grooves purpose. The obvious title refers to the broken down and straight forward character, however without losing the focus of the original.

Early support by Ben Sims, Ø [Phase], Unbalance, DVS1, Mark Broom, Developer, Truncate, Tripeo/Darko Esser, Samuli Kemppi, Raiz, Anthony Parasole, Roman Poncet, A001, Hyperactive, Modeselektor, Markus Suckut, Rivet, Alex Bau, Hector Oaks, Bambounou, Ekserd, Pfirter, Petter B, Locomatica, Lance Blaise, Dj Shiva, Jimmy Edgar, J. Tijn, Ambivalent, Cleric, Matthias Zimmermann, Kr!z and more...

TWR72 - Deform EP (Preview) [FLOAT002]

During these days where lo-fi analogue house productions seems to be the it thing, its time to dig out a release by one of the true pioneers of house music. Not an outsider but one of the names thats been around forever and thats known for several timeless house classics. Almost 20 years after its original release date we are happy to share this forgotten and overlooked gem by Roy Davis Jr. - Roy's Chicago Basement Traxx.
Originally released as 4 track ep on Kumba Records, but we thought it was appropriate to shine some light on our three favorites, Chemical Warfare, Jack Da Rhythms and Broken Machines. Three dirty, raw, jacking and most of all intense tracks, that are among the best things that came out of Chicago. Jerking rhythms, hypnotic synths and live arrangements stripped to the bare essential! Endless respect to Roy Davis Jr. for being such a versatile and inspirational producer.

Oh and this one is not changing hands for big money (which we see so often as sales argument). Untill recently it actually always used to be pretty cheap on Discogs ;-)

expected to be out october 2014.

The End - Discoshit

"If you're listening to this at home you should start with a healthy dose of energy drinks because going into this cold may be too much."

D'Marc Cantu has been orbiting our ears for a while now. 

"Slow building, spacey jackin’ techno tracks with some nice squelchy acid lines. Fans of Basic Soul Unit would approve."  

We think he's a lot more than that but it's good jumping off point to get yourself started in the world of Mr D'Cantu. 

It was with some excitement then, when he agreed to lay down his Ransom Note mix for us. 

"I'm D’marc Cantu, I've been producing dance music in various forms for over a decade now. I reside in Ann Arbor MI, which as anyone familiar with this area should know has a rich musical history, from Iggy pop to Andrew WK and many more."

"I want to make sure if it's cool that its going to be a live set of mine? All original and what not, just not a lot of released tracks in there." We weren't really going to argue with that. 

So here it is in all it's 130BPM glory. Go let your ears enjoy...

D’Marc Cantu (Nation, MOS, Crème / US)

D'Marc Cantu or DMC as he is sometimes known, started working on Acid house in 2000 after meeting fellow artist James T. Cotton (JTC). By melding his love of Acid house, experimental noise and his background in percussion he quickly started creating what would later be coined as "Jakbeat". 

In 2005 Cantu and JTC formed 2Am/Fm releasing 3 floor banging albums and several songs on Ghostly International’s sister label Spectral. In 2006 he teamed up with Traxx & JTC to create X2, releasing Primitive Cypher on Relief Records from Chicago. 

Since 2006 he has worked on MOS and Crème Organization making numerous Detroit and Chicago inspired tracks.

Some works are so familiar that it is almost impossible to hear them afresh, but that is what Max Richter has achieved with Vivaldi “Recomposed”. This is no mere arrangement; instead Richter has absorbed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons into his own musical bloodstream. At first Richter followed the example of other works in the “Recomposed” series, which re-mix existing recordings, but, he says, “I wanted to open up the score on a note-by-note level, and working with an existing recording was like digging a mineshaft through an incredibly rich seam, discovering diamonds and not being able to pull them out. That became frustrating. I wanted to get inside the score at the level of the notes and in essence re-write it, re-composing it in a literal way.”Richter calculates that, in the process, he has discarded around three-quarters of Vivaldi’s original. He opens with what he describes as “a dubby cloud which I’ve called Spring 0. It functions as a sort of prelude, setting up an electronic, ambient space for the first Spring movement to step into. I’ve used electronics in several movements, subtle, almost inaudible things to do withthe bass, but I wanted certain moments to connect to the whole electronic universe that is so much part of our musical language today.” Other resonances are no less unexpected: Richter describes part of the first movement of his Summer as “heavy music for the orchestra. It’s relentless pulsed music, which is a quality that contemporary dance music has; and perhaps I was also thinking about John Bonham’s drumming. Then, in the second movement of Autumn I asked the harpsichordist Raphael Alpermann to play in what is a rather old-fashioned way, very regularly, rather like a ticking clock. That was partly because I didn’t want the harpsichord part to be attention-seeking, but also because that style connects to various pop records from the 1970s where the harpsichord or Clavinet was featured, including various Beach Boys albums and the Beatles’ Abbey Road.” Clearly, Richter has brought his own frame of reference to the project. As he says, “Vivaldi’s music is made of regular patterns, and that connects with post-minimalism, which is one strand in the music that I write. That felt like a natural link, but even so it was surprisingly difficult to navigate my way through it. At every point I had to work out how much is Vivaldi and how much is me. It was difficult but also rewarding because the raw material is so fascinating.”Just as Richter’s Seasons plays tricks with the way we hear Vivaldi’s original, so it also asks questions of the soloist, Daniel Hope. “Violinists have Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons hardwired in their brain. Daniel is likely to play the original I don’t know how many times in a year, and for him to have my parallel text going on in another part of his brain is a challenge. I think he did a wonderful job. He brought to it a deep engagement with the original, but he was fully prepared to cut this new swathe through the text.”
