Enigmatic trio dOP have been active as an electronic music act for nearly 8 years now and through releasing on Dirt Crew Recordings, Watergate Records, Life and Death and home-label Circus Company, they've established themselves as French trendsetters.

Their new EP is set to drop once again via Circus Company and 'Close Up' is a floaty number that just rolls through its runtime. It's got the summer months in mind and it also comes packed with remixes from the likes of Catz N Dogz, San Proper and Louisahhh!!!

Today we have the exclusive premiere of Louisahhh!!!'s remix and the Bromance mainstay has offered up her own delectably deep rendition.

Premiere: dOP 'Close Up' (Louisahhh!!! Remix)

My first big record on a well known and influential label. I gave the music to @Josh Wink and it took him one year to release it, which was pretty normal back in the day. 

“Menina Brasileira” came after I watched a wack movie with Penelope Cruz, ate something wrong and had a bad night’s sleep. The next day I went to the studio with the idea to produce a deep house track. Not a cliché deep house track, but to capture a deep house vibe in a non-deep house track. 

Just listen to the vocal on the flip, “Jacuzzi Games,” and you can imagine the scenario.

Thank you Josh and Matt!

Release: 01.12.2014 Tracklist: A DJ Pierre - What Is House Muzik (Ricardo Villalobos What Is Dub Remix) B DJ Pierre - What Is House Muzik (Ricardo Villalobos What Is Dub Remix) watch out, it is ONE track/remix cut over 2 sides to ensure more sound volume. 16 minutes each side, total of 32 minutes! Short info: Anyone who takes it upon themselves to contemplate over the history of house music, along with its highlights and key players, will inevitably stumble upon DJ Pierre’s name sooner or later. The Chicago-born producer and DJ has been living and breathing underground dance music, namely house, since its inception in his very own hometown. For this very special Get Physical release, we’ve decided to pay homage to DJ Pierre’s contribution to the worldwide dance community by way of an epic re-release of that most iconic of tracks, ‚What is House Muzik’. Originally released in 1994, the classic gets the Get Physical treatment with a slew of remixes in celebration of house music’s eternal place in our hearts and its resurge in popularity amongst today’s club goers. A special-edition vinyl born of a very special digital compilation. The union of many celebrated artists in honor of a landmark of house music -namely, DJ Pierre’s ‚What is House Muzik’ - gives way to what we have here: 36 minutes of pure, unadulterated Villalobos at his most characteristic. 36 minutes of a master’s knack for deconstructing and putting back together in the most abstract of ways. Ricardo Villalobos asked himself What is House Muzik? and the answer took him to a deep, dubby land that he walks us through for all of 36 minutes, complete with bubbling rhythms and bone-dry kicks. 18 minutes on each side and a good long while to ruminate on that now almost-metaphysical of questions: What, indeed, is house music? Here’s one answer. As for the motive behind such an important release? Well, DJ Pierre puts it best himself: “I’m very happy “What is House Music” is being

Artist: dOP
Title: The Dying Night
Label: dOP Only
Catalogue Number: dOP001
Released: 19.01.2018

French trio, dOP celebrate their 11th Birthday in style, offering an innovative and exciting musical prospect for 2018. ‘The Dying Night’ is the first release of eleven monthly tracks on their new label, dOP Only, each dropping alongside a video or remix. Dedicated only to themselves, the label will showcase their distinctive electronic soundscape with a digital release every month, and as a mark of their 11th Birthday, a fan-voted vinyl will be printed at the end of the year with its best pick. So keep your eyes peeled for what is going to be one hell of a yearlong party.

Kicking off with ‘The Dying Night’, the trio have no problem with creating some pretty high expectations for the year ahead. The track opens with their usual tricky modular synth work, creating some real ambience that leaves room to both breath and intensify. The vocals aim to keep you hooked throughout, blending easily amongst a plethora of melodic synth work and punchy drum sequencing. Ultimately the track is a real exemplar of how such a distinct sound takes elegant turns to heighten both the individual and collective skills of the group together.

The Dying Night title is inspired by the novel written by Isaac Asimov.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Drifting between the ageing recesses of his mind, Nostalgia’s audio journey traverses chilly barren landscapes, and deep, woodland foliage. 

Nostalgia explores the past through sound, revisiting the fragments of identity and preserved traces with a melancholic touch that combines a multitude of influences, weaved together through an emotive narrative. 

Forever questioning the present, his production navigates the multiple shades of life and its bittersweet discontents.

Impressions on a seeping canvas, of dreams and memories in a congealed celebration of sound and light. 

For Gonzalo music is a means to transmit and share experiences, vibrational frequencies to liberate and connect. Since a young age his surrounding environment instilled within him a deep musical curiosity. 

This path has yielded unending surprises and opportunities for learning, in which his music has increasingly become an extension of himself, characterised by a tone of surrealist anxiety.

Sol Selectas run by Sabo welcomes back Unders who has been a prominent feature in the label's back catalogue. Unders has also contributed to other imprints including Kindisch, Under Your Skin, Sincopat and Katermukke along with his own Happy Camper Records.

Unders, is a producer from Holland, who had a break through song called “Syria” on Sol Selectas three years ago, and is a huge fan of the band Morphine, so he created this dance floor remix of their track “The Other Side” for his DJ sets.

With the intention of keeping the original Morphine legacy alive along with the spirit of deceased lead singer Mark Sandman, the original members of the band have agreed to officially release this incredible remix, as every time Unders played it the reaction was incredible.

Already rated by Mixmag as one of the hottest tracks of the Summer in 2017, even though it had never even been released, this special remix of an American classic will surely take its listeners on a journey to “The Other Side”, where “life is better”.

Morphine was an Alternative Rock group from Boston which formed in 1989. Morphine’s unique sound combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, and the lead singer Mark Sandman had a distinctively deep and laid-back tone. After five successful albums in the early '90s they disbanded after Mark Sandman tragically died on stage of a heart attack. The founding members reformed into the band Vapors of Morphine, maintaining much of the original style and sound.

With a slow, smouldering sound consisting of saxophones, soft percussion, two finger bass and beatnik-style poetry lyrics, the bands bluesy sound has been captured fully in Unders stunning rework.

The lyrics of the track talk of “crossing over to the other side” and this version pays homage to the original and celebrates the living achievements of Mark Sandman before he sadly passed away.

Created by Helia Jamali, the Artwork was influenced by the song lyrics, and is intended to be a visually stimulating journey to an unknown but familiar place “with the preacher's wife”.

Nachtdigital Mint marks the last edition of Nachtdigital Festival: After more than two decades it is time for a change. Over the course of the past eight years, Nachtdigital has given birth to a dozen releases in various formats. "Nachtdigital Mint" is the final statement - a return to the roots, in its most accomplished form.

Starting with a single 10inch release in 2011, the Nachtdigital label has evolved both musically and visually. 2017 saw the release of the first double LP with gatefold cover - a format that since has become the preferred mode of operation. For the last two years, Nachtdigital has focussed primarily on commissioned works, with thematically curated releases. The "Nachtdigital Mint" compilation marks the return to the original idea of the label: To compile tracks from artists of this year’s festival program, without much fuzz about conceptual works. The result is refreshingly energetic and gives a glimpse into the heterogeneous sound of the festival itself: Combining young talents with accomplished producers, raw sounds with dreamy delicacies. Side D was compiled in collaboration with Prague’s club institution Ankali - a fitting closing statement, as collaborations are what Nachtdigital has always been about.

Pluie/Noir Podcast 019
"Métronome de l'Esprit"

Sound by Marc Milner. 
Visual Interpretation by Jonathan Mangelinckx. 
Video by Max Binski.

We interviewed both artists and dropped some questions about their vision:
 
 
MARC MILNER
 
P/N - Welcome to Pluie/Noir, Monsieur Milner. How are you feeling lately?
Marc Milner - I'm feeling more than great. My batteries are fully charged in positive energy after what was a mind-blowing weekend with Cleymoore and D.I.E.M. It was definitely a good experience for us all and it brought us closer together.

P/N - How's the club-scene in France these days?
Marc Milner - I’m usually quite harsh when it comes to describing the French scene. It seems at times people don’t care about the music. Of course the crowd here may seem big and impressive but I’m doubtful it is always a “quality” crowd. On the good side it means there is plenty for us to work on in Paris with Improvist.
 
P/N - What is Improvist and everything related to it?
Marc Milner - Improvist is an organisation I started off with two friends and it is a reaction to our point of view on the Parisian nightlife. Our aim is to create a special atmosphere at each of our events and bring together people who share a common love for music. We always go for surprising line-ups filled with what we believe to be young and upcoming talents. To make each edition more intriguing we try to always stay out of clubs and find limited capacity spaces such as the Crayères des Montquartiers (an 18th century cave in Paris) where we had Vlad Caia play.
 
P/N - How did it feel to record this podcast? What can you tell us about it?
Marc Milner - Recording this podcast was a challenge for me as I have been following the Pluie/Noir podcast series for a while now and that I wanted it to capture the essence of different kinds of music that truly inspire me. May it be ambient, dubstep, classical, world jazz or a cappella choirs. The approach is also interesting as it gets you thinking on how it is all connected.
 
P/N - Future plans?
Marc Milner - Yes many! As a promoter of course I want to continue my work with Improvist as our family is getting bigger and stronger everyday. Then as a music collector and dj I want to expand my work and research more and when the time is right, I want to transcribe all of these bubbling ideas in my head onto my own productions.

Official Presentation

Pluie/Noir Podcast 019 - "Métronome de l'Esprit" by Marc Milner

Experimental soundscapes and live performances draw from a wide array of disciplines, from ambient, traditional and world, to early electronic, live avant-garde and contemporary.

Subtle yet expansive, introspective yet universal, we create a space with the support of likeminded people, to both collectively and individually explore the depth and richness of infinite existence.
