James Welsh – S EP 
HYPEDIGI033

1. Sky
2. Sent
3. Steak
4. Strong

Release date: 14/10/13

The multi-talented James Welsh rocks up to Hypercolour with this heavyweight four track EP.  As one half of Ocelot Mthrfckers (signed to Wall Of Sound at the tender age of 17) and engineer for the last Reverend & The Makers long player, Welsh has been spreading his musical wings further with recent releases on Join The Dots, Wolf Music, Futureboogie and Hypercolour’s own Losing Suki offshoot.

‘Sky’ is legit late night house action, with somber pianos and dubbed out vocals, whilst  ‘Sent’ presents another choice vocal over a tight and skippy production.  ‘Steak’ ramps up the energy levels, choppy vox and relentless rides, real peak time tackle here, and wrapping up the package is another vocal cut ‘Strong’, a crunchy and distorted house cut, Welsh getting busy on the analogue keys whilst the excellent vocal floats over the solid production.

A varied and consistent from James Welsh on the ‘S’ EP, see what we did there?


James Welsh - Sent (clip)

Sam’s EP boot’s off with ‘Chocolate’, a track that builds and builds using detuned synths, stabs and funky drums to make any dance floor erupt. ‘Domino’ is a track that’s bassline drones underneath its own distinctive synth line to keep the drums rolling along steadily. The title track ‘Black Leather’ is everything you would expect in a Drumcode record; a subtle throbbing bass line which, keeps the track moving before the synth stabs enrapture the track and twist it into a dark, throbbing composition. The final track ‘Daegon’ uses dubbed out drums to incorporate a synth melody line that will blow your socks off and rounds off this well shaped EP.

Harvey’s highly anticipated single starts with the title track ‘Lost’ that comprises of a catchy vocal hook and rhythmic synth stabs to set the mood. This is layered over a straight, serious beat that has lots of energy and grit to make any speaker stack shake. ‘Find My Mind’ uses a mixture of reversed and straight hats to create a funky groove that is sprinkled with hypnotic synth stabs and a mesmerising vocal. ‘Hard To See’ uses a funky sub bass in combination with some swinging drums to create a groove that will rattle the speakers and bring the house down.

Carl Cox - Family Guy (Sharam Crazi Remix)

Kaiserdisco start the three-track single with ‘El Tiburon’ that has a pulsating bass line, which isn’t for the feint hearted. This peak time stomper uses a melodic synth and unusual synth effects to create the building atmosphere before it kicks back into the throbbing beat. The ascending bass line on the second track ‘La Caballa’, is supported by white noise and a rising synth that will make any dancefloor erupt into a heated flow of energy. The third and final track ‘La Morena’, is a bit more on the funky side of techno, using rhythmic percussion to create a cool, peak-time vibe.

Spektre's 'Cyclic Operations' is out now on Beatport: http://btprt.dj/1hd0VrP
Released worldwide on 18th November.

Welcomed back onto the label with their Toolroom debut album 'Cyclic Operations', Spektre look set to smash the Techno charts as Filthy Rich and Paul Maddox deliver one of the most anticipated artist albums of 2013. This dynamic duo are widely considered to be one of the best new, up and coming acts of the year gaining support from some of the world's best Techno DJs and producers including Carl Cox, Dubfire, Richie Hawtin & Sven Vath, alongside collaborations with UMEK, Christian Cambas, Miniminds, Subfractal and remixes by artists including Uto Karem, Jon Rundell, Gorge, Nicole Moudaber, Christian Smith and Wehbba.

Returning to Toolroom after their debut Techno banger 'Turbine' featured on the hugely successful Rhythm Distrikt compilation, this prestigious production duo are back with a release which showcases their killer hooks and distinctive sounds alongside haunting vocals and deep, atmospheric tones. 'Cyclic Operations' captures the best of Spektre's unique sound, starting off, delving into the darker side of Techno and finishing leaving the listener with those classic slick, smooth, Techno vibes.

Including 14 tracks and a full-length DJ mix, the album is cleverly divided up by a series of short musical interludes; 'Introduction' with its dark vocals, 'Intersection' with its futuristic, apocalyptic feel and 'Intervention' which is more uplifting and upbeat. Album highlights include 'Let Me Tell You' which features the strong vocals of Montserrat, 'Sense In Madness' with its spooky synths and powerful basslines, the mystical 'Ghosts In The Machine' with its futuristic sounds, the feel good summer tune 'Opus' and the beautiful 'Steel City Sunrise' which ends the album with smooth echoing vocals and a chilled melodic atmosphere.

Beautifully atmospheric, 'Cyclic Operations' is an album that will connect with DJ's and producers across the dance spectrum; a glorious culmination of all things dark and wonderful. This is one Toolroom release that you cannot afford to miss! EXSPEKT THE UNEXSPEKTED…

Orjan Nilsen - Mafioso (Mark Sixma Remix) [Tune Of The Week A State Of Trance 637] [OUT NOW]

There’s always time enough to welcome new figures on Analytic Trail collection. Label boss
Markantonio is proud to present Timmo, a Bulgarian DJ/Producer already known on Neapolitan ground
for his track “Primitive” released in the fabulous summer compilation “Expression A1”, mixed by
Markantonio himself for the same Analytic Trail Rec. He is also recognized as one of the best
Bulgarian reality in this moment for Techno music and he is landed under Vesuvio with an own
package of three original tracks.
“Bermuda” is the first one that is a classic fast Techno train influenced by a straight kick and deeper
sound elements as snare tricks and background noises.
“Surma” even more funky than the other previous tracks, it’s a sort of Techno bouncing tune made by
techy synths and drum tricks dropping the listener in chemical paranoid vortex.
“Patos” is the last one and is a bit different, you can feel a rawest effect by the drum session and the
huge sub bass loading a powerful energy to the track, that seems to be really dark and heavy Techno.
Another superlative project for Analytic Trail that is always ready to play well for the benefit of the
followers.

March sees the formidable Hypercolour deliver its most surprising output yet, an EP from none other than Groove Armada.

Tom Findlay and Andy Cato need little introduction as Groove Armada. Chart smashes, huge live tours and being part of the worldwide electronic music history aside, the duo have never lost touch with their acid house roots and have continued to be devoted to record buying, DJing and the much maligned promo trawl.

Tom and Andy have been avid followers of the label it seemed, since it's inception. It was through label head Jamie, meeting the guys back in 2010 at Space in Ibiza, and then continued communication via Hypercolour promos, that led to an out-of-the-blue email requesting an informal hook up in East London and, within just a few days, a release was scheduled.

That release is the 'No Knock EP', four tracks that range from 808 fuelled old school cuts to low slung, Moog-bass'd electronic funk. Each sound is lovingly crafted but there's an analog rawness throughout and every track has the sort of tweaked, off-kilter and occasionally awkward vibe that Hypercolour do so well.

It just takes a bit of imagination to guess what a GA release on Hypercolour should sound but failing that, just check the release out as it won't disappoint.

Release date: 24/02/2012

Let’s call ‘Undercover’, the new album from Marc Houle, a double departure. His last album, ‘Drift’ was on Minus, and his label, Items & Things, run alongside Magda & Troy Pierce, was until last year a Minus sub-label. He’s now left the label, and Items & Things stands on its own two feet poised for great things in the years to come. With this new found freedom Marc’s synth-driven techno sound continues to grow, evolve and surprise. Nowhere is this growth more evident than in the tracks that make up ‘Undercover’.

Things kick off with ‘Hearing’ which has a bassline that drives like a vintage Mercedes shifting gears on the Autobahn as it picks up speed. The synths, with their soft melody, let you know how smooth the suspension is while a metallic voice whispers in your ear from the back seat. ‘Undercover’, the eponymous single, is a case study in the deep and moody side of old school Chicago House.

In a recent interview Marc said that ‘right how I am trying to get away from my regular tempo, play some real drums and get some non 4/4 fills and beats going on.’ On ‘Juno 6660’ he does just that and with stellar results. ‘Juno 6660’ sounds like what could have happened if early Warp artists like LFO and Sweet Exorcist had grown up on NYC freestyle rather than Detroit Techno. ‘Very Bad’ is actually very good, so Marc must be referring to something else entirely; the mystery remains within him and the music. Bink is able to set you off balance with a melody that sounds like it’s from an old music box that’s been wound up just a little too far. The ballerina dancing on top of the box is held steady only by 4/4 beat, acid house claps and bouncy bass.

Continuing with ‘Am Am Am’ Marc takes things in a bit of an industrial direction. Not the industrial of Nitzer Ebb & Einstürzende Neubauten but rather a construction site buried deep inside an unsettling dream. Hammers ping and echo, while the sounds of cables detune and voices echo from other floors. When ‘Mooder’ drops you wake up slowly and find yourself back on the dance-floor. The tracks driving rhythm and pitter pat toms keep things moving underneath the track’s ever dreamy pads.

The albums concludes with ‘Under the Neath’ which succeeds in taking things even deeper than just ‘Under Cover’ while at the same time unearthing Marc’s roots in the sound of Detroit Techno. Chords shift back and forth in pitch as the rolling bassline goes lower and lower. Kept steady by a very live shaker sound the track completes its cycles adding new layers and voices upon each turn.

Marc says that this album represents ‘my personal sound more than anything I've ever done before’ and it shows. With influence and inspiration from such diverse sources that Marc calls upon, ‘Undercover’ more than manages to carve out a distinctive flow that is all his own. What the future holds is anyone’s guess, just expect the unexpected.

Marc Houle - Undercover | Items & Things | 2012

Next to be snapped up by the Hypercolour crew is long time Hot Flush associate and Aus Music
alumni, George FitzGerald. Having emerged last year with an intricate, melodically meticulous
and bass heavy sound, FitzGerald has continued to spread his wings and for this debut EP on
Hypercolour delves deeper into a garage house fusion sound than ever before.

‘Needs You’ builds in progressive steps, the rounded, bouncy bass, the polished melodies and
tight woven percussive patterns all coalesce into something that thumps hard yet retains an air
of breezy cool thanks to the male voice that lurks in the breakdowns.
Next up is ‘Every Inch’, with its smeared harmonies swooping and swooning in every direction.
Set against coarse claps which race through the centre of the track, subtle filtering allows the
track's melodies to open wide and close tight before your very ears as a restrained garage skip
undulates below.

The b2 sees another debut, this time from legendary Swiss producer Deetron. His remix
of ‘Every Inch’ is a heady, driving brew of crystalline melodic twinkles and rolling kicks that
washes over you at the same time as a tormented and tortured bassline sweeps you up from
below with a knowing acid fuzz never far away throughout.
Clean and crisp, these are two more precisely cut weapons from the Man Make Music boss that
explode to devastating effect.

George Fitzgerald - Needs You EP

DJ Magazine’s Label Of The Year, Hypercolour, continues its ongoing success story apace with a release befitting the high accolade the label has just received.

It sees a high-profile collaboration between the aforementioned publication’s DJ Of The Year, Eats Everything, and the natural heir to Claude VonStroke’s Dirtybird crown, Justin Martin. Easily two of the most prominent electronic music success stories of the past 12 months, the duo put their heads together during a week-long Bristol studio session in November before a much lauded back-to-back performance at Motion nightclub. The result is this two track EP of contrasting styles and conception-challenging sounds.

The opening offering on the EP, ‘Feather Fight’, sets the tone with more of a jacking house rhythm. The track progresses to its mid-point with a continually rising, paranoid note hinting at something sinister before it breaks into a mélange of warbling synths and soft bassy undertones that are rich in variation. It’s an instantly addictive and subtly infectious track that sees both producers exercising restraint to create a production with that ‘get in your head’ quality.

The second track, ‘Harpy’, is similar to the first in that lures you into a false sense of the security. Its opening lines are all ambient harps and soft string textures with the vocal telling you it’s “time to let go”, before melting away in dramatic fashion with a fog-horn blast. The rest ofthe track is an ode to these rich contrasts, with the harp continuing to play its part as well as the broad, depthy bass weight.

Two of the most effervescent characters in house music have penned an EP consistent with their brilliantly colourful personalities, and in the process Hypercolour continue to confound expectations with something far removed from previous offerings.

Our now internationally acclaimed homeboy Huxley returns to the Hypercolour bosom with a fine two track EP that proves he isn’t resting on his laurels, despite a stunning 2012, and crafts floor slaying tracks with big personalities like few others out there. In 2012 the Big Thing From Tring headlined festivals and clubs all over the world and turned in EPs and remixes for the likes of Tsuba and 2020, but might have saved his best for us. 

The A side is taken up with ‘Bellywedge’ which fuses together all Huxley’s influences to date and reimagines them as something fresh. The result is a peak time track weighed down by a rich bassline that writhes about of its own accord. A filtered and almost indecipherable vocal adds euphoric elements, but broody congas keep things ultimately deep. 

On the flip, ‘Little Things’ starts with an infectious, tinny two step skip before the kick lands proper and another bona-fide Huxley bomb beings to take shape. It’s meaty and pumping, with nimble basslines, arresting percussive hooks and a great sense of balance. 

Whilst you enjoy this latest Huxley bomb, also be contended with the news that he starts his own monthly Rinse.FM show on February 18th where the man will delve deep into his collection and pull out gems old and new from across the stylistic board.
