Safeword only play it safe in name alone. The San Fran duo specialise in what goes on beneath the surface, bringing musical maturity, song progression and inventive instrumentation to the fore.
For their second Mobilee outing, Safeword have delivered one of the most memorable melodies of the year on "Elephants"; it evolves from classic minimalism, through a bare kicks-n-claps, to colour-drenched instant classic that will defy genre borders and unify dancers during many a sunrise set. On "Himalayas" Safeword gaze skywards for some cosmic tech-disco inspiration, and "PinBalls" keeps its feet on the ground with some heavy kick drums and straight-up dancefloor soul. "Tennis Courts" rounds out this diverse EP, with flurries of back-and forth synths and a fluid bassline.

Enjoy!

Get It On Beatport!

Press text :

Release 34 is a meeting of minds and talent as two of our future faves join forces for the very first time on Herzblut. The French dream-team of Electric Rescue and Maxime Dangles present a new brace of techno gems on the Melomis EP. The release comes hot on the heels of Maxime's, Oralipse ep, which has been heating our floors since July and the pair demonstrate just why they are in such high demand with their exotic genre-crossing techno workouts. Melomis is pure fire. Simple and yet utterly devastating, it's staccato siren riff drills away, filtered and intensified before the earth-shattering drums power in. On the flip its groove all the way as Orlando uses power and poise to generating an impressive helping of funk by matching the the most delicate of bells with raw, weighty beats, bass and breakdown.

SLAM | Astrolabe 
[Soma389]
 
1. Astrolabe
2. 3.8

Soma is pleased to welcome back label heads Slam as they unleash 2 brand new tracks under the EP,ASTROLABE. In the past two decades, Slam have defined techno in Scotland, cultivated many artists of through Soma and remixed everyone from Josh Wink & Paul Ritch to Daft Punk & Underworld. The legendary UK duo, comprising of Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle, have travelled far and wide, leaving scorch marks on dance-floors across the planet, touring Europe, Australia, the USA, South America and Asia. They hold residencies at 3 of the UK's best clubs (Pressure & Sub Club in their home town of Glasgow and Fabric in London). Slam are currently on top of their game at the moment as they work toward the release of their new album, due in 2014 and this latest EP from the prolific Scottish duo shows they intend to keep up their furious momentum

Astrolabe opens up the EP in true Slam style. A rolling, arpeggiated hook keeps the listener hypnotised by the rhythm and straight up percussion backs things up as this full on dance floor destroyer teases with every drop. Perfectly crafted and sequenced, Slam really show their experience on this track. 

3.8 moves things into an even harder direction. Once again, a hypnotising hook keeps things moving while a thunderous low end and distorted percussion crashes through, relenting momentarily while a resonating kick pulses and finally gives way to the body of the track. A fairly harder edged track, Slam easily manipulate each element of it to devastating effect. 

Slam hit home hard with this excellent two tracker that has been doing the damage for them in their most recent sets and looks to do the same the world over.

H2 - What Is (AFFKT Remix) - FORM37

HARDER... DARKER... STRONGER... was the tag-line and “Disconnect/Reconnect”, the third studio album from The Japanese Popstars, garnered plenty of critical praise and won the hearts and minds of many forward-thinking music fans throughout 2013, proving to be a big success for John Digweed’s Bedrock label. So fittingly, it falls to Gary Curran and Gareth Donoghue to kick-off the 2014 release schedule with a timely revisit to three of the album’s boldest tracks, with superb heavy-duty remixes from London based Sharooz and Barcelona’s Coyu.

The mighty and melodic “Vision” and insanely noisy “Heavy Hitter” battle it out to see who can become Techno champion of the world, a duel that can only result in them both sharing the podium, being so distinctly different in attitude and being unforgettably memorable. It was the original version of “Matter Of Time” (featuring Green Velvet on vocals) that took the 2012 IMS by storm, catching the ears of Laurent Garnier, Francois K, Carl Cox and John Digweed, who promptly signed TJP to Bedrock. Now, for 2014, it reappears with a suitably massive Coyu Remix. With his Suara label currently one of the most prominent imprints in the world of Techno, Coyu’s pedigree is of the highest order and he stands as one of the most charted artists in Resident Advisor's history. Sharooz (owner of La Bombe), whose recent tracks on GND Records have been flying high, is no slouch either! His decidedly twisted remix of “Heavy Hitter” is impressive in the extreme and will no doubt be causing chaos everywhere it lands.

There can be no doubt, that this next salvo from The Japanese Popstars is destined to be heard in the dirtiest of dark rooms and at the biggest nocturnal festival shows worldwide, throughout 2014 and beyond. These boys are on fire and have their gaze fixed firmly on the future.

All You Need Is Techno 909 MIx

In recent years Steve's productions have seen him become a regular in the record boxes of the world's best. Outside of his release on Ovum, his work for labels including Quartz Music, Spark , Synewave and SCI+TEC have established him as one of the most in demand DJ/Producers of his home nation or Portugal. 

His deep and hypnotic sound, combining groove-heavy rhythms with a minimal-tech production style, sees Steve able to move effortlessly from sultry warm basement sounds to full on vicious arena moments. His follow up three track selection for Ovum Recordings doesn’t disappoint. 

System 22 is a more straight ahead gritty and jacking techno workout that twists and turns, while always retaining the groove. 

Steve Parker - System 22

Opening up the single is ‘Around’, a boomy up-tempo Techno cut, constructed around penetrating rhythms, piercing stab sequences and rumbling low-end. Maxime then introduces eerie, tonal atmospheric sweeps into the depths of the background to build tension, while baroque structural changes make for an energetic listen.
Title cut ‘Epur’ is up next, embracing a similar heady aesthetic with galvanic stab lines, earth- shattering sub bass and an ever-blossoming dynamism, in contrast to the sharp changes of the preceding track, Dangles opts for a smoother more subtle progression with ‘Epur’ with it’s gradually evolving feel.
We then see the package rounded off with ‘ThonQ’, rounding off the package brilliantly as we see Maxime veer into dub territories, fusing weighty analogue drums with drawn-out, echoing chord stabs and sporadic expansive reverb bursts to create yet another intense darkroom dance floor workout.
Maxime Dangles ‘Epur’ EP is out on FLASH Recordings 14th April 2014.

Back at the beginning of the summer, Dubfire unveiled "Exit," his magical collaboration with Miss Kittin. The powerful and sultry vocal cut immediately garnered anthem status, heralding a perfect balance between the techno stalwarts' precise, funky rhythms and Kittin's unique, robotic vocal delivery. Support was across the full breadth of the DJ spectrum, also featuring in Resident Advisor's Monthly Top 50 charts.

A special synergy and chemistry was born between the two that demanded to be further explored when new remixes by the French dream team of Brodinski and long-time Kittin collaborator The Hacker materialized.

The Hacker ensures carnage with his huge pile-driving synth riff, whilst Bromance boss Brodinski goes straight for the jugular with a crushing kick drum and impressive vocal trickery.

Long-serving French talent Philippe Petit is welcomed to Figure SPC with this dextrous and inventive four-track EP. Petit is the owner of the Knotweed and Decision Making Theory labels, enjoying a busy schedule as a fine purveyor of edgy, melodic and classic Techno stylings. 

Ranging from the Euro-beat infusions of 'Body', with its menacing electronic palpitations, to the stuttering syncopations of 'The Truth', the bouncing, addictive tooly vibe of 'Lost Again', or finally the tracky, introspective chord-journey of 'In Between', its a varied and versatile EP from the hard working activist. 

Demonstrating his broad taste for the many different recipes making up the Techno universe, SPC U offers fans of the genre 4 unique takes, providing a look into the mind of the creator behind them. We look forward to more to come from Mr. Petit!

<p>It&#8217;s that time of the year when we&#8217;re extra excited, as our annual various artists compilation surfaces and showcases the route we&#8217;ve been on as well as the evolution of our sound. Never content with just one style, we&#8217;ve got everything from sleazy basslines and funked-out synths, courtesy of Tom Wax &amp; Rummy, to Anna&#8217;s locomotive &#8220;Fits Foil&#8221; and Crazy Sonic&#8217;s uplifting riffs. If you want to take a dive into powerful atmospheric territory, Rob Hes is your man, and since we&#8217;re on that subject G.Pal brings the melancholic synths to the table with &#8220;Round 2&#8221;. Nico Cabeza introduces UK Garage stabs to a dubbed-out affair, and we&#8217;re pretty confident that all bases are covered.</p>

Balans welcomes back Swedish-born Staffan Linzatti for his second release on the Dutch imprint with Dividing in Two, an energetic two-track EP keeping consistent with the labels vision of delivering classic techno rhythms. ‘Dizziness’ opens the EP with a hypnotizing yet airy signal that captivates upon overture. Combined with a rolling bass and quintessential claps it is sure to enchant any listener. On side B, ‘Clarity’ takes a whole new direction opening straight into a full-blown kick and high hats that persist throughout the track.
A perfect follow up to 'View From The Collapsing Centre EP' (BALANS011) released back in 2013.

Oliver Deutschmann | Dazed & Confuzed
[Soma367d]
 
1.	Dazed
2.	Confuzed

Soma are pleased to welcome Vidab Records boss Oliver Deutschmann to the roster as he debuts with the dark & hypnotic ‘Dazed & Confuzed’ EP. Firmly established in the underground, Deutschmann has stood behind his unique brand of 4/4 beats for more than a decade; a permanent fixture at Panorama Bar for over 4 years with his dubby, pushing house vibes, old school drums, intense peaks and driving modern dramatics. Developing a strong signature sound, Oliver translates real emotion and atmosphere into his productions, with bold, crisp and powerful drums, resonant, textural synthlines and a stylish talent for keeping things locked down to hypnotising effect. 
His debut EP on Soma shows his darker edge, expertly opened with ‘Dazed’. A heavy kick drum and deep, rolling sub bass is backed up with a hypnotic synth hook right from the beginning as Deutschmann sets up the listener and dance floor for a proper shakedown. Rising steadily that familiar 909 clap comes in to show that this track means business as it powers through.
The follow up ‘Confuzed’ picks up where Dazed left off. Tough drums kick the track into overdrive straight away as Oliver doesn’t let up on the hypnotic Techno found on the EP’s opener. Pounding drums and tripped out vocal teases its way into the track as a prolonged breakdown keeps the track bubbling until, with brute force, launches relentlessly back in. This is uncompromising Techno at its best.
This is a top EP from a producer who can flawlessly move between styles and who isn’t adverse to showing his darker side.
