Tim Sweeney’s Playlist

Visionquest have made a big impact in their first two releases on the imprint from Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves. Now they fill up the dancefloor with light on ‘Dark Song’ EP from the compelling Tale Of Us.

Engulfing the listener in a luscious wall of sound from the onset of ‘Dark song’, Tale Of Us take an abstract and harmonious approach to their music. Understated beats and yearning vocals stretch the imagination to new heights in a new strain of house music engaging the senses through warm tapestries of sound.

Using similar low-end whispered sounds that resonate in a deep place, ‘Circle Of Love’ is a magnetic slice of dancefloor music. Its skipping beats and rippling bass enthralls but it’s the sensual vocal that gives ‘Circle Of Life’ a special edge and adds an element of mystery. ‘Valiant’ completes the package with an epic dose of bubbling beats and pads, inventing a masterpiece hybrid of techno and deep house leaving you spellbound.

Tale of Us are Berlin-based DJ and production partnership Karm and Matteo who are currently re-writing the rulebook for deeply moving, emotional electronic music. Together they share a sonic vision that pulls together elements of house and techno with influences from pop, nu-disco and even rock music. While all of their productions are instantly recognisable as Tale Of Us, these range from straight-up dance floor jams to low-slung ambient tracks and more abstract compositions. While both originally hail from North America, Karm was born in Toronto and Matteo in New York, they moved to Italy as children, which is where they met and formed the close working bond that they now share.

At present they are based in Berlin, an inspirational frontier, which has given them numerous opportunities to build relationships with fellow musicians who share their unique musical outlook and resulted in this special Visionquest release. Prior to this, Tale Of Us tracks could be found on labels such as Barraca Music, Cocoon' and Life & Death (the Tale Of Us remix of Thugfucker ‘Disco Gnome’ on Life and Death was hailed by Mixmag as one best records of 2010) and have put out various remix collaborations with fellow Visionquest label mates Shaun Reeves & Ryan Crosson. They play the WMC Visionquest party on Friday 25th March 2011. For more artist info visit:www.myspace.com/taleofus

CircoLoco Records’ string of top quality tracks continues with Map.ache’s ‘IZA,’ the first single from a forthcoming EP from the Giegling collective, the eclectic group of German producers and DJ’s responsible for a string of underground classics including Map.ache’s ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ and Molly’s ‘All Good.’  ‘IZA’ is signature Map.ache: melancholy and hypnotic deep house with warm bass, layered descending synth melodies and snippets of plaintive vocal. 

‘IZA’ follows the recent release of “On My Own Now,” the two-track single from DJ Tennis & Ashee featuring Lady Donli, and Skream’s smash, The Attention Deficit EP.

Underground mainstay Guy Gerber is back on his own Rumors label with new EP Leave It On. Across three tracks he showcases his famously emotive and melodic house sounds. 

Gerber has been a core part of the underground for years, headlining the world's most revered clubs and festivals, collaborating with P. Diddy, bringing all new party concepts to Ibiza, and serving up serene and synth heavy soundscapes that move people physically and emotionally on labels like Cocoon, Italians Do It Better and Rumors. 

This one kicks off with the lush deep house elegance of 'Leave It On' with its languid bass and live sounding drums. Swirling pads and atmospheric vocals bring a romantic feel to this late night jam. 'Leave Me' then picks up the pace with more percussive but still smooth grooves, this time doused in sweeping chords that bring sunshine and soul. 'Jupiter Blues' closes out with a cosmic exploration, the gently tinkling keys shining like stars as warm, rubbery drums carry you onwards and upwards. 

This is another classy EP from Guy Gerber.

Lyrics :
We were dancing in the moonlight
Blinded by the stars
Heaven held a hologram
And held it to our hearts

We've held our bones together
The constellations cried
No one had to speak with words
And silence never tried

To say that love is furious
To say that love is blind
To say there’s no forever
To say we never tried

We were blind
I swear we were blind

No time, no time for complications
I've had enough, I've had enough
No need to be so complicated

I'm lost, I'm lost in the shadow of love
In the shadow of love
In the shadow of love

The cherubs sang a lullaby
Healing our scars
Heaven held a hologram
And held it to our hearts

The roses cloaked in crimson
Captured  the light
Our silent eyes stayed patients
Patients in the night

I swear we were blind

We're going nowhere fast
We know we left to go

We're going nowhere fast
We know we left to go

No time, no time for complications
I've had enough, I've had enough
No need to be so complicated

I'm lost, I'm lost in the shadow of love
In the shadow of love

Drums Are Dangerous (Original Mix)
