MOS Recordings kick off 2019 with Better Dead Than Alien, a new EP from ASOK. The Liverpool, UK artist has been releasing on the label since 2014 but this is his first since 2015 and it features four more of his expansive and textured club tracks.
With one foot on the dance floor and a mind lost somewhere in the cosmos, ASOK again combines breakbeats, astral synth work and prickly percussion into fresh new forms here. The title track is a twitchy and futuristic bit of house with glistening and distorted textures, Find A Way has a rubbery bassline and old school rave breaks, and Many Locations is a bumping bit of deep Detroit house with a real sense of serenity. Closer Baal ends in the heavens, with celestial ambiance, spinning hi hats and broken beats all sounding delicate yet dynamic.

Release date : 04 Feb 2019

One of the low key driving forces at EABE records, producer DJ Lifegoals is now stepping into spotlight with the release of his debut vinyl EP Life Imitates Art. Over the past year the Helsinki-based producer has been the talk of his hometown, gathering momentum with his euphoric live gigs, as well as his eclectic DJ sets at the top venues of Helsinki. 

Especially his live set at The Flow Festival 2018 seemed to perfectly capture the blissful mood of the exceptionally long and hot summer in Helsinki. The same joyous atmosphere is also the dominant one on the Life Imitates Art EP, which musically documents the rare and precious moment when the shores of The Baltic Sea felt more like The Balearic Islands.

The producer, while only recently emerged under the alias DJ Lifegoals, has a long history with electronic music, having started collecting records at the age of 13 under the guidance of a local DJ. The vast range of influences is heard in DJ Lifegoals’ music, that while paying homage to his 90’s house, breakbeat and acid favourites, is constantly surprising listeners with explorations to unsailed seas. Characteristic to DJ Lifegoals’ music is the fine balance between euphoric eruptions of rave-ready moments and more subtle, progressive elements.

With the much-anticipated release of his debut EP, DJ Lifegoals is now looking forward to next summer’s gigs, as well as working on his second EP and remixes for several artists.

Helmed by DJ Dog, the side alias of Sex Tags UFO boss @djfettburger, and Double Dancer, main operator of Untz Untz Records, Berlin-based imprint @reboundlounge sure is one to attack the rim with optimum Globetrottin', perspex-shattering strikeforce.

Furious Frank returns to Butter Sessions with 'Ahora Sí'. The fully fledged house anthem is the result of a cross-continental collaboration with Barcelona based vocalist and producer Ivy Barkakati.

We're treated to four versions of 'Ahora Sí', all tested and ready for the dance floor and those special moments! Kicking it off, Frank delivers his "Original Acid Mix". A deep, squelchy lurker with nods to late 80's and 90's house music, peaking with thick piano chords and Barkakati's deep Spanish vocals. On the 'Sunrise' mix, the piano and chords become the focus and set the mood for an uplifting journey, bolstered by the raw thump and jack of the drum machines.

The flip side see's Barcelona based "IVAN" emerge with their version. The duo made up of Ivy Barkakati and Phran of Klasse Wrecks fame slow things down a touch, mangle the chords and inject the rhythm with flattering top-drawer percussion. Vancouver native D. Tiffany rounds the EP off with sub-heavy bass drops, hi-tek rhythms, euphoric vocal slithers and more stingin' acidic vibes.

Pure and infectious house music for real people!

Today’s News Flash. Public Possession takes another step forward by signing “Nice Girl” to the label. Their collaboration w/ the New Zealand born, Melbourne based artist is initiated by a two-track 10” featuring one original song by the artist, plus a remix by long-time label affiliate Bell Towers. 
The original “Take a step” is an instant party starter (does not take long to make its point). The remix gets all big (room) & techy. Two tracks - maximum spectacle. Right on.

Koehler opened into the hill a spacious wound and digged out ribs of gold. This is his second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A, behold a wonder! They but now who seemed in bigness to surpass Earth's giant sons, now less than smallest dwarfs, in narrow room throng numberless—like the conjurers of 'Light Magic' beyond the Tuscan mount; or faery elves whose midnight revels by a forest-side or fountain some belated peasant sees, or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon sits arbitress, and nearer to the Earth wheels her pale course: they, on their mirth and dance, intent with jocund music charm our ear; at once with joy and fear our hearts rebound. Such place eternal justice has prepared for those rebellious; as far removed from the rave and light of a sunrise set as from the centre thrice to th' utmost pole.  Oh Side B, how unlike the place from whence they danced! There the companions of the artist’s departure, o'erwhelmed with floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire, he soon discerns; and, weltering by his side, one next himself in power and next in crime, long after known at the ESP Institute, and named Koehler. If he whom mutual league, united thoughts and counsels, equal hope and hazard in the glorious enterprise joined with me once, now misery hath joined in equal ruin; into what pit thou seest from what height fallen: so much the stronger proved he with his thunder; and till then who knew the force of those dire arms. Farewell, happy fields, where joy for ever dwells! Hail, 'The Grand Illusion', receive thy new possessor — one who brings a mind not to be changed by place or time. These two songs will sit you dove-like brooding on the vast abyss.

The way he moved was fast and furious, gliding across the room with wild movements and an electric pace. He landed each step expertly in time yet at any given moment looked as if he might recklessly spin beyond control and crash. Some called him a psycho dancer, others believed he was once a ballerina who had lost his way. The music rattled and echoed in the small chamber as he leapt between the walls in time with the persuasive percussion and dazzling drums. This was his moment, it was beautiful in its relentless chaos. 

Iron Curtis is set to release a mini album split across two parts via way of Hudd Trax. The music featured is club built and dancefloor ready, however we chose perhaps one of the most pensive and reflective pieces on the new release to feature. It's elegant and tasteful, subtle and harmonic.
