Les Yeux Orange * Paris, France

After a bunch of EPs on various labels such as Unknown To The Unknown, Porn Wax and Cosmic Pint Glass, and his debut LP "Island" released via Music For Dreams last year, Manchester's one and only multifaceted RüF Dug comes back in style with a 7" and a 12" shared with his friend Glowing Palms. Out on Ruffy's own imprint Rüf Kutz, RK#11 starts at full throttle with the explosive "Ruffys Jungle Sensi" premiered here, and when we say explosive it's no hyperbole. Despite its 103-ish BPM, this vintage sounding tropical boogie number could make anybody get down like crazy whatever the hour thanks to an epic percussion jam, a rousing groovy bass and guitar combo and some glorious synths. This treat is out on April 11th so run to the nearest shop and get it while you can !

Not An Animal keeps up the pace and pressure with yet another high quality distinctive release, further cementing the labels specific sound and revealing more of the scope of its musical mission. Machete Savane are comprised of label co-owner Andy Bainbridge and producer/composer Saul Richards. Manticore continues with their instantly recognisable hi octane yet organic discofied sound, as previously displayed via their releases on Cynic and Redux. Remix wise, there's a very much 'night and day' choice to be had here, with Johnny Nash (Land Of Light) providing his trademark blissed-out ambience to a beatless rendition and Ian Blevins taking the original even further into dancefloor territory, upping the tempos and evoking the drive of Paperclip People.

For their latest journey into re-edit/original production fusion, Brooklyn's "Razor 'N' Tape" crew has turned to Munich duo COEO, who have previously impressed via fine outings on Toy Tonics and Let's Play House. The four-tracks here, which all blend samples from classic recordings with their own drums and musical flourishes, all sound like guaranteed dancefloor winners. Check, for example, the breezy Afro-beat-goes-disco cheeriness of "Nigerian Affair" premiered here, the wonderfully rich keys and organic deep house bump of "Pajama Stomp", and the riotous, high-octane disco-house loop-funk of "Long Night Ahead". Best of all, though, is opener "Like It Is", a sweet, dewy-eyed, string-drenched soul revision that achieves the perfect balance between dancefloor grunt, and paying due reverence to the German duo's horn-heavy source material.

G+002 - Les Yeux Orange : 1979 (Snippets)

Coming from the steaming underground scene of Belgrade, brushed with dark abstract, yet romantic ideas of space and ambience, Tapan present their first EP with the ever growing family of Malka Tuti. Tapan's dark atmospheric industrial sound, infused with balkan or even middle-eastern percussions sits perfect with the Malka Tuti soundscape. Following their acclaimed releases on 'Crimes of The Future' and 'WT Recordings', Tapan present us with 'Tarantella' and 'Poison High', two slow chugging and very atmospheric, somewhat melancholic tunes for the late hours. On the remix Black Merlin delivers a great pushing forward slow dub-trance tun, driven by a massive bassline...

Tarantella

"Allez les presales! Everybody’s favourite Parisian party fiends are back, polishing up another batch of patchy pound bin finds and not-on-Discogs delights for your next summer soirée. Putting their orange-eagle eyes to good use, the LYO crew have trawled the crates of Europe and beyond for this sunkissed set, working the scalpel to the max to pack the dancefloor in arms aloft ecstasy. 

Our party starts with the kwaito groove of “Avidio””, a killer bit of late 80’s Afro-action boasting synth marimba, alien bass blasts and life affirming vocal chants. Not only is this cut moving in the ants-in-your-pants/dancing-like-a-madman sense, but its Sting-on-safari emotion and clarinet solo could bring a tear to a glass eye.

Cartwheeling between aspirational jazz-funk and afro-cosmic, ‘Yanga Mbiwaa’ makes its way to the heart of the party like a bewildered Parisian at an Ivorian wedding. As tumbling toms rumble like thunder on the Serengeti, an oddball exotica chant encourages the nearby wildlife to shake a tail-feather to the Club Tropicana guitars and buzzing synthbass. 

At last you have something to keep Quantum Jump’s ‘Lone Ranger’ company! Last but not least comes ‘Autoradio’, a very well mannered monsieur living the French highlife by the sea and sun of the Mediterranean coast. Effervescent Afrobeat guitars and swooning sax dance over a rolling rhythm section of buoyant bass and 80s percussion, while a spoken vocal drawls in your direction and the girls ask if you’re ok. It’s only when the pinging, ringing, madly modulated bass breakdown bounds through your surroundings that you’ll wonder who slipped what in your drink…"

Les Yeux Orange - Yanga Mbiwaa

August sees X-Kalay return to where it all began with a very special record from founding X-Kalay artist, Kask. Although relatively quiet on the release front since his X-Kalay EP dropped in January 2016, Andreas has been keeping himself busy helping establish Tallinn as one of the most forward thinking and underrated electronic music communities in Europe. 
 His club "Lekker", which he part owns with a number of other Tallinn based friends and artists, has blossomed over the past 18 months with a consistent flow of on point and progressive bookings ranging from Anthony Naples to Helena Hauf to Willie Burns. The venue deservedly hosted the inaugural Boiler Room Tallinn show in February 2017 and showcased a selection of Tallinn’s local talent; Lekker owners Kask and Dima Disk on the bill. 
Andreas and the Lekker collective also played an important role in Estonia’s incredible Into the Valley festival – hosted on a derelict prison site just outside of Tallinn. Here he shared the stage with heavyweights such as the Black Madonna, Jeff Mills and Craig Richards. Not much time for releasing new records then. 
Thankfully that changes next month with the arrival of ‘Voorst’ on XK009. Shot through with Kask’s trademark introspection and melancholy his second effort for X-Kalay explores the more ambient strains of house and electro.
‘Voorst’ opens the A-side with a deep kick and sparse drums, dreamlike pads giving way to an ecstatic melody that is all breath and decay. The soundtrack to driving the deserted city blocks at 2am with rain coursing down the windshield. Back on X-Kalay for remix duties Rudolf C switches up this ambient masterpiece into a 90s rave banger – straight up club material. 
On the B ‘Silver Surfer’ momentarily ups the ante and takes us on an undulating journey through pulsating basslines, swirling arpeggios and biting hats. Closing things off perfectly and premiered here, ‘Kaamos’ is a stripped back jam full of emotion; a label favourite with a beguiling combination of ambient electro styles and 80s nostalgia. Big!

PREMIERE : Kask - Kaamos

Factor City is happy to present the second and last 12” with remixes from Undo’s “Disconnect L.P”. After Iñigo Vontier, Cabaret Nocturne and Dimitri Veimar’s excellent remixes of “Autómatas” and “Computer Friends" now it’s time for Marvin & Guy and Zombies In Miami with two outstanding reworks of “The Arptist” and “Disconnect". The fantastic italian duo Marvin & Guy take on “The Arptist”, is an  11 minutes lisergic journey through magic pads, sparkling arpeggios and distorted guitars.
On the flip, Zombies In Miami work their magic on “Disconnect” using the original pads and Undo’s voice to create a totally new track with their own trademark.

Nashville imprint "TRAM Planet" is excited to announce the release of the "Lomay" EP by The Locked Club, making it the first vinyl release of the label. 
Fully loaded rompers, drawing from influences both far and unexpected corners of the globe that have been proven to be tools for the floor. The Russian duo made their debut last year on Private Persons with their "Forever Punk" EP, leaving a heavy mark on lovers of tape-hissed electro, EBM madness, and acid-tinged worship. With their next release, Lomay EP, we see a continuation of that same energy, but with an even more broader approach; pushing the boundaries of what EBM, acid, and techno mean today.

PREMIERE : Locked Club & RLGN - Osaka Madness

La Mverte’s October 2017 album ‘The Inner Out’ now gets some carefully commissioned remix treatment from exciting artists Matias Aguayo, In Aeternam Vale and La Mverte himself.
The album, ‘The Inner Out’, was a unique mix of industrial, disco, new wave and Italo that marked another high point in the Paris producer’s discography. Three of the key tracks from it now get fresh reinterpretations that bring plenty of heat to the dance floor.
First up is Chilean Matias Aguayo, the Comeme founder and Kompakt regular with his own distinctive way of looping and layering percussion, voices and drums into intoxicating minimal grooves. His fantastic take on ‘Past The Circles’ is a raw and rugged machine work out with haunting synths and jerky drums. His own vocals add a human element to the stark robotism all around and ensure maximum destruction.
In Aeternam Vale is rooted in punk-rock nihilism, Kraftwerk coldness and aggressive industrialism, and has been since the eighties. His arresting take on ‘The Inner Out’ has a wild spirit. Flailing synths and bleeping keys bring a rave element to the dehumanised vocals while strobe lit grooves and stiff stabs make this one brilliantly muscular and macho.
La Mverte then edits ‘No Gazing’ into a stomping, well swung and steel plated cut. Rumbling bass and metallic hits make it perfectly high impact warehouse material. Get there : https://itunes.apple.com/album/the-inner-out-remixes-single/1382781497

Mexican Dj & producer Mijo and Berlin duo Local Suicide collide in a wonderfully fresh and inventive collaboration on their latest EP ‘Edo Kai Tora/Ganz Falsch’. Local Suicide, comprised of couple Brax Moody (Munich) and Vamparela (Thessaloniki), weaves in their signature blend of Post-Disco, New Wave, Jacking Acid, and Slow Dark Techno while Mijo injects his own stylings of the Latin Techno that he helped to define and create. 
The result is a spacious, energetic, and stunning product from start to finish.  As the latest installment from San Francisco-based label Roam Recordings, which specializes in Dark Disco, Post Techno, EBM, and Acid, ‘Edo Kai Tora/Ganz Falsch’ is an impressive sonic feat that will leave you dancing all night.  
The EP opens with the original ‘Edo Kai Tora’, an infectious uptempo track with hypnotic, oscillating synths and an undeniable groove. Greek Vamparela of Local Suicide brings her voice to the track. The result is a sultry, spoken vocal that repeats the resounding phrase ‘Edo Kai Tora’, which in Greek translates into ‘Here And Now’. The words themselves couldn’t be more fitting to the overall feel of the project, which has an extremely 'in the moment' sensibility to it. In ‘Ganz Falsch’, Mijo and Local Suicide revitalize the electronic boogie, keeping things light and fun with a warbling bass hook juxtaposed with a playful, spitting rhythmic vocal. 
Supporting the EP, Berlin-based DJ/Producer Sascha Funke along with Moscow Duo Simple Symmetry lend their talents to create standout reinterpretations of both title tracks. Where Sascha Funke fleshes out the darker, cosmic undertones of ‘Edo Kai Tora’, Simple Symmetry mix in an extra kick of pop and funk sensibilities to the project by layering rhythmic, post-punk garage style guitars into ‘Ganz Falsch’, bringing to mind the underground indie rock scene of Southern California. The project comes to a delightful close with two additional digital bonus tracks: a slightly elongated, ethereal interpretation of ‘Edo Kai Tora’ (re-envisioned by Sascha Funke) and an energetic dance version of ‘Ganz Falsch’. 
As a whole, the EP is an electric, collaborative accomplishment of unique sonic character, versatile and exemplifying the best of each producers creative talents. ‘Edo Kai Tora/Ganz Falsch’ is set for release on vinyl and digital formats this July 20th under Roam Recordings

Debut Ep of Andrem, the new solo project of Andrés Gomez, better known for being 50% of Mexican duo FLXXX, who released two years ago what still is one of Playpal's favorite Ep's on the catalogue and has also released music under the alias 'Ands Mega'. The title track of the Ep, 'Ascensión', is a dancefloor banger, club tested throughout this year and as is often the case nowadays, it’s reminiscent of the 90’s but leaves you feeling it’s a ahead of it’s time. 'Side B' 'Vendetta' is a dub and dark mental track that will do some damage both in the early hours of the night and the morning. On remix duties we have Rigopolar, whose track 'Numbskin' on Play Pal's five year compilation was one of the most charted, and this time he has delivered an absolute killer remix of 'Ascensión', with endless synth mental sequences. Next up is french producer daWad, part of the well known La Dame Noir crew, who also released a very welcome Ep on Play Pal alongside his partner Mokic. He’s taken the track in a completely different direction but equally effective on the dancefloor, with a broken beat constantly pushing the track from beginning to end. Play Pal Music honcho, Teniente Castillo, turned 'Vendetta' into an orgy of guitars, both electric and acoustic, with a fat synth as the conductive element throughout the entire track, whilst retaining the 'suspense' film flavour of the original version. Then finally we're happy to welcome to the label Lithuanian duo Roe Deers, who took the darkness of 'Vendetta' a step further, adding a sick arpeggio when you least expect it, making it one of our favourite remixes.

PREMIERE : Andrem - Vendetta (Teniente Castillo Remix)

The Sound Of Vast imprint, headed up by Knock and Red Pig Flower has over the years carved out quite the reputation, with an impressive back catalogue featuring material from the likes of Cosmin TRG, Vid/Egal3, Soichi Terada and The Jaydes amongst others. Here though we see San Proper and The Mole make a welcome return to the imprint, this time round joining forces with Hreno for a three track EP from the powerhouse trio.

Leading on the package is ‘Friendly Tears’ which features yet another leading figure in the house scene, Dekmantel regular Tom Trago, as you’d expect from such an impressive array of artists we’re treated so soul drenched house driven by swinging organic drums, infectious funk licks and hooky synth lines before the ‘Chunkless Mix’ strips things back a little, laying focus solely on the 80’s tinged synth work, delayed vocal murmurs and minimalistic percussion.
‘On The Floor’ then rounds out the package, retaining a similar aesthetic with choppy guitar melodies, penetrating bass stabs, crunchy rhythms and resonant arpeggio synths ebbing and flowing dynamically throughout

PREMIERE : San Proper, Hreno & The Mole - Friendly Tears (The Chunkless Mix)

Due for release in the autumn, Three Years of Shall Not Fade gathers together nine tracks from existing and freshly signed members of the label’s growing family of artists, including Mella Dee, TRP, Loods and Adriyano. 
 The collection was designed to showcase Shall Not Fade’s constantly evolving sound, with the nine featured tracks touching on a wide variety of dancefloor-centric variations of house and techno while adhering to the label’s long-held ethos (“music to make people happy and dance”). It will be the label’s first ever album release and will be released in limited numbers on vinyl, with full colour artwork.  
 One of the headline attractions comes from Skream, who makes his Shall Not Fade debut with “Haunted Seaside Amusements”, a full-throttle affair that combines a thumping, kick-drum driven techno rhythm with moody motifs and a breathlessly beautiful, rising and falling synthesizer melody. 
 
The compilation also boasts label bows from two recent recruits who will be releasing full EPs on Shall Not Fade in 2019. Sometime Omena, Shabby Doll and W&O Street Tracks producer Mella Dee serves up the driving, retro-futurist basement garage of  “Patchwerk”, while Mall Grab collaborator Loods delivers the album’s most overwhelmingly positive cut, the jazz-flecked deep house bliss of “Everytime”. 
 
Another high profile contribution comes from Frits Wentink and DJ Boring, who here follow-up a recent joint EP on Bobby Donny with a first collaborative cut on Shall Not Fade. Their untitled cut is typically eccentric, off-kilter and tons of fun, with manipulated vocal samples, intergalactic effects, jangling pianos and chunky bass wrapping themselves around a swinging, percussive groove. 
 Naturally, the contributions from existing Shall Not Fade family members are equally as impressive. Adriyano kicks things off with the party-starting loop-funk of “The Sturdy Track”, while Lake Haze and Pierre Moritz dazzle with contrasting but equally dreamy slabs of saucer-eyed deep house loveliness.  
 Shall Not Fade’s most storied artist, LK, naturally delivers the goods via the huggable deep house classiness of “Dark Days”, while TRP, who last featured on the label two years ago, returns to round of proceedings with the bustling, techno-tempo hustle of acid-powered lo-fi house workout “Leap In The Dark (Live Mix 2)”.
