Das Beat

Premiere: Band Electronica ft. Midge Ure - Das Beat (Âme Remix) [BMG]

2021

Milio - Surrounded By Night

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/speicher_121_12

We’ve not seen a double A-Side from two artists on our beloved SPEICHER series in some time so we figured it was high time for the return. And what timing as warm weather has finally embraced us which means its time for a full dose of floor filled power for the festivals of 2022.

The duo that are Extrawelt should be no strangers to your ears…since we last heard from them in 2019 when they took over SPEICHER 110, they’ve released with Feel My Bicep, Further Electronix, Watergate, Dream Awake, Traum and of course Cocoon. “Stabilo” is raw and powerful, a synthesis of their analog prowess with a beat that is just unstoppable.

Say hello to 1979 as comes onboard with his debut with SPEICHER. Famously known for the HOSH collaboration “Midnight” (Ministry Of Sound) and fresh off a remix for SPEICHER alumni Anfisa Letyago, we happily feed you a summer bomb to nourish your peak time palate. A provocatively raw bass drum and dirty synth keep “Vulcano” in an eternal eruptive state.

Take every breath as an event.

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.

Egypt-born Barcelona resident Ahmed Raxon has proven himself to be one of the most consistent DJ producers of his generation. His ability to make big room techno FUNKY and highly entertaining has landed him releases on some of techno's finest powerhouses like Cocoon, Drumcode or Ellum. His new double header for Speicher again ticks all the right boxes. "Slipmode" is a robotic workout with that trademark irresistible Raxon drive. "Nu Waze" is more of a cheeky affair, combining an arab quarter tone hook with an ultra funky back beat that would make "Phunk Phenomena"-era Armand Van Helden proud.

The Awake, Pt. 2 EP [OBSM010]
Release Date - Feb 24, 2023

Stream & Download - https://ObscuraMusic.lnk.to/TheAwake2

Fedele’s Obscura Music continues to set a precedent for underground electronic music through a wave of carefully curated exploratory releases from hand-picked global talent alongside the Bari-based label boss himself. The latest shining example of Obscura’s ever-expanding avant-garde appeal is also the second chapter of Fedele’s ‘The Awake’ chronicle - following the well-received arrival of Pt. 1 in July 2022.
					
Spike Express’ opens ‘The Awake, Pt. 2’ with an expectedly potent and pumping Indie Dance thunderbolt from the label boss. Boasting pulsating grooves and a plethora of concrete analogue musicality from start to finish, it’s another head-turning frequency-rich stomper from Fedele that keeps you well within a firm grip for the entirety.

‘The Envelope’ matches the searing vibe with another remarkable club-focused cut from the Italian. Undulating drum work and fizzing hat sequences provide a blend of punch and swing whilst gritty lead melodies and atmospheric soundscapes bring the track’s ominously ear-catching persona to life.
		
On the flip, we welcome two remixers to the project to provide undeniably unique and blistering offerings. Electroclash’s founding father, French electronic icon The Hacker pairs with fellow Bari-native Golden Virgo.

James Rodrigo is Waltervelt, the next hot young talent to land on the mighty Ellum Audio label. Born in Joinville, Brazil, this 25-year-old has already been involved in the dance scene for a decade and has made his mark at the key clubs in South America. His well-formed sound is a smooth fusion of Italo disco, techno and electro that swells over you to make for immersive listening. 

Adventurous opener ‘Lunar Operation’ is just that, a superb sonic trip built on rugged bass rumbles with old school cowbells and a real sense of cosmic drama from the synths and strings. It’s expansive, colourful and as cerebral as it is moving. 

This is another masterful EP on Maceo Plex’s agenda-setting Ellum Audio.

Lunar Operation

PREMIERE: Waltervelt - Lunar Operation (Original Mix) [Ellum]

Bangers shall be banging. To enhance the longevity of ‚Acid Riot‘ did Timo Maas and Pan/Tone do their magic on the all killer banger of Summer 2019. It was pulled down in the dark and pushed more techno. Pan/Tone went even deeper down in the dark. A very heavy kick builds the foundation for the very rhythm oriented track, which is combined with dark howling and an acid arp sneaky working its way into the foreground. This is a very tooly punch coming forward.
