Released on 17th February, ‘Circuit Breaker’ marks the first single to drop from Madben’s forthcoming album ‘Troisiéme Sens’ on Ellum Audio. 

Lille native Madben is a renowned producer with releases on Astropolis, COD3 QR, Trunkline, and Ellum. The latter plays host to his latest work as he returns to Maceo Plex’s celebrated label with a unique twelve-track album this April. 

The 17th of February will see the introduction of the first single ‘Circuit Breaker’. Packed with chugging moody acid techno from the outset - its minimalist approach leaves the floor open to a head-turning display of modulating analogue musicality and ominous resonance, carving out a gritty late-night cut that stands out from the crowd. “I made this track in a very short time, which was unexpected. It's a favourite of mine; I don't think I will ever get bored of playing it,” adds Madben. 

The single comes with a heady remix from New York producer Avision, a regular on Ellum. Here he works some pace into the original with a bouncy bassline and a killer breakdown, turning this into a peak-time dancefloor cut. 

‘Circuit Breaker’ is a superb taster for the long player ahead and another electronic gem from the on-point Madben.

Madben - Circuit Breaker (Avision Remix)

Out Now: https://lnk.to/MadbenLP

French techno titan Madben unveils his much anticipated ‘Troisième Sens’ LP on Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio. 

Madben started absorbing the techno of Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke and Speedy J in the 90s, growing up in Lille in northern France. He retains a passion for DIY culture and warehouse parties thanks to youthful raving at Brussels' Fuse, Gent's Kozzmozz or in abandoned factories in Courtrai. All this has shone through in his music, including a debut album on Astropolis in 2018 that featured a collaboration with Laurent Garnier and a recent EP for Garnier and Scan X’s label. 

Over the last decade, he has become a European club and festival favourite playing places like Berghain and Awakenings. His studio boasts a fine array of machines utilised to full effect on this latest opus. ‘Troisième Sens’ perfectly reflects what the artist has always loved, listened to and played, keeping one eye on the dance floor but never at the expense of musical narrative. It’s a genuinely progressive, multi-genre body of work that allows listeners to fully immerse themselves in the seemingly limitless depths of the Frenchman’s sonic capabilities. 

He says, “Over the years, I learned to have more fun with the gear in my studio, and this has been the result. The album took three years to finish; I started in an underground basement studio in Paris before moving to Nantes. Therefore, it may surprise listeners with such a diverse selection of moods. It's dark in places but happy in others.” 

'Departure' kicks off with uplifting synth work and broken techno beats that have a celebratory feel. 'Addicted' is a lithe cut with steamy vocals and a more fulsome combo of drums and bass, while 'Circuit Breaker' cuts loose in the cosmos. Acid wobbles, smeared synths and metallic percussion all make for a bouncy cut before 'Fade In Fade Out' continues the cosmic trip with vastly oversized synth patterns that will light up a dark space with overwhelming euphoria. 

The brilliant 'It's 1 am In A Rave' is a dark, heads-down banger with 'Lost Memories' then layering up melancholic synths and Plastikman-style drum loops into something full of deep thought. There is no let up with the superb acid techno gymnastics of 'No fear', and 'The March' is a turbulent mix of sheet metal synths that whip about over steel-plated drums. 'You Dance Like A Robot' is end-of-the-world electro with a menacing robot vocal, and the electro tip continues with expert drum programming and menacing leads on 'Deep In The Jungle'. 'Meta' is a flailing rhythmic workout that sounds like the machines are in meltdown, and 'I Made A Dream During This Nightmare' is a serene techno soundscape for ruminating about the future of the human race. 

Intelligent yet immediate, impactful but emotional, ‘Troisième Sens’ is another standout techno record from Madben.

Matador makes his debut appearance on Crosstown Rebels with his absorbing new EP ‘My Yellow Coat’, accompanied a  remix from NYC house and techno favourite Levon Vincent.  

An outstandingly technical live artist, DJ and producer, Matador, real name Gavin Lynch, has a prolific discography with releases on  renowned labels such as Minus, Hot Creations, and Cocoon. A resident at Richie Hawtin’s iconic ENTER series in Ibiza, the past decade has  seen the Irish talent tour the globe consistently with performances at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and clubs, including  Awakenings, TimeWarp, and Neopop, while featuring in Resident Advisor’s ‘Tip 20 Live Acts’ on three separate occasions. ‘My Yellow Coat’  marks his first appearance on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, describing the debut as “a result all round” with the imprint featuring as a  personal favourite of his over the years. 

“I wrote the EP as one of the first projects in my new studio in Ibiza in 2021. I’d been listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem and  more electronic rock-leaning sounds, really good riffs and wonky synths. I have a Roland VP330 here that was running slightly out  of tune at times, the oscillators in the string section, so I used that and played everything in for both tracks and recorded some  vocals processing them through various effects. Then I tied it all together with an 808. It was a limited set-up using old equipment  and utilising the imperfections, and that’s what it was all about – not correcting or quantising everything but letting the instruments  speak as they were. So that’s pretty much how the tracks came about, and I’m so happy that Damian connected with them and  that the EP is going out on Crosstown, one of my favourite labels” - Matador.  

The EP features two original tracks, ‘My Yellow Coat’ and ‘What You Say Is So’, showcasing a dynamic approach to electronic music with a  deep dive into rich beds of emotive and spellbinding tones. Title track ‘My Yellow Coat’ is a slow-blooming and delightfully suspenseful  production guided by the track’s charming vocals as soft synth melodies and refined percussion build gracefully across its eight-minute  duration. ‘What You Say Is So’ is again rooted amongst captivating tones and subtle background textures before the lead melody emerges  and places itself at the forefront of the mix. 

Novel Sound boss Levon Vincent’s dynamic interpretation of the title cut welcomes a new side to his expansive sound, building on his  distinctive sound palette and welcoming a shift towards faster realms. He explains, “I saw the remix as an opportunity to step out of my  comfort zone, musically speaking, and to make something at a faster tempo. I wanted to do this to at least recognise what has happened in  techno in recent years with faster BPMs. It just seems a little rude to live in Germany and not even comment once on these fascinating beats  happening in techno. I don’t play that fast, but for me, it was an opportunity to make something that shows I’ve not disregarded any dialogues  happening around me”. 

He adds, “It was exciting to work with these vocals from Matador and to mix ‘em up and get creative with them. I kept the same fundamental  frequency of the original tune and used it as a foundation to build my own tonal universe, a scale which consists of several just intervals and  some that reflect PHI, or 1x 1.618- and the square root of PHI, which is 1x1.2720”.

Radio Slave demand we ‘Wake Up’ on Rekids this May. 

Following the recent ‘Strobe Queen’ and ‘Wild Life’ releases, Radio Slave continues to push against the grain. Revisiting his love of lower tempos and long but engaging arrangements, the Rekids boss further explores his love of House and Disco sounds that proliferated his early work on ‘Wake Up’, a grooving and hypnotic NY-inspired cut. 

“The latest in a series, my new single is a kaleidoscopic, back to the future, dub disco song about signing music in the music industry and I guess sometimes we all need to “wake up”. I’ve tried to illustrate this with the photo of a plastic dolphin trash can.” - Radio Slave 

Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards is one of dance music’s undisputed heavyweights. Having made his name as a DJ in the 90s, he went on to become the king of edits, twisting pop, R&B and indie cuts into essential versions that consistently set clubs alight. Since the mid-2000s, Edwards’ originals have helped define modern dance music, tackling techno, house, breakbeat, minimal and disco whilst exploring dub, balearic sounds and ambient across the myriad of other aliases and projects.

Next up for Ellum Audio is a powerful new remix from Alinka of 'Addicted,' a standout track from Madben's recent Troisième Sens LP.

French techno titan Madben took things to the next level with his latest album, a multi-genre work that both bangs on the dance floor but also follows an intriguing narrative arc. It comes after many years of shaping the underground and releasing on the likes of Laurent Garnier's Scan X’s label.

Ukraine-born but Berlin-based remixer Alinka crafts hard-hitting sounds for the likes of Rekids and Live at Robert Johnson. She does so with a penchant for weirdness and influences from Chicago and Detroit while DJing at cult clubs Berghain/Panorama Bar, Circoloco and Smart Bar. Here she flips 'Addicted' into a pulsating and sweaty house thumper. The elastic bass and snapping hits are run through with warm synth stabs, spraying acid and a loopy vocal bringing extra sleaze up top to ensure the floor goes wild.

The release also features the original single for those who missed it first time around. These are two all-conquering house tracks destined to make an indelible impact.

Stream & Download - https://obscuramusic.lnk.to/HurtMeBad

We’re thrilled to welcome Chicago’s Rez Dosia back to Obscura for his second feature length project - the Hurt Me Bad EP. Rez is on the rise as the summer season kicks into high gear, with widespread support flowing in from techno titans Jimi Jules, Fedele, Dubfire, and more.

This 5-track EP spans the spectrum of synthetic mastery, garnishing global selectors with innovative tools for peak-time punch. A New Level claims the A-side role, featuring a vibrantly lo-fi vocal performance from Vela-Fi which floats over a crisp & playful synthetic house groove. Revolution welcomes driving dips & dives; an ominous offering with a vivacious build for dancefloor defiance. The EP’s namesake - Hurt Me Bad - continues to turn the dial, propelling us deeper into an analog assault of Rez Dorsia. Klexos is a progressive-tinged number angled through the lens of acid techno. Closing out the project is everyone’s dear friend - Anxiety. The most linear and after-hours feeling of the bunch, Rez welcomes tripped-out tones to keep the late-night lovers floating into higher planes. Simply put - another round of undeniable productions from Rez Dorsia.
