Tokyo Fan Club – the exciting new collaboration from acclaimed producers Luke Brancaccio, Gai Barone, and vocalist Kiki Cave – announce their debut album ‘We Live Electric’, released on John Digweed’s Bedrock Records on 18 November.  

 
As a delicious first taster of what people can expect from the album, a remix of ‘Horses’ from renowned Greek producer Echonomist will be released on 11 November. 

 
With his pulsating and atmospheric remix of ‘Horses’, Echnomist displays why he has become such an in-demand producer and remixer. The dark and hypnotic ‘80s electro soundscape is the perfect soundtrack for after-parties, showcasing Kiki Cave’s stunning vocal and is certain to get a big reaction when played out. 

 
Tokyo Fan Club’s forthcoming debut album, ‘We Live Electric’ will be presented in two parts. Part 1 is an electronica laden album of 80’s / 90’s soundtrack inspired synths and vocals whilst Part 2 is a more more stripped back soundscape and ambient version of the album which will highlight the other side to Tokyo Fan Club’s sound.

Ukraine’s AIKON meets Sobek in this masterful collaboration. A thumping breakbeat rhythm forms the backbone of this haunting track, where clanking chimes meander amidst shrill, bitcrushed, pitch-bending synth lines. A mystical breakdown lays down mellifluous flute motifs, brooding, buzzing bass and a mosquito of a synth hook that are all smashed into the ether when the pummeling rhythm kicks back into life. Play this loud, close your eyes, and you’ll be transported into another dimension.
Adrian Roman gets brutal on his heavy remix, drafting in huge tribal drum hits that are reminiscent of the Japanese taiko, contrasting their off-kilter rhythm with a solid deep techno backbone and really amping up the atmospheric melodic elements to potent effect. ID_UA takes things deeper on their remix, into more hypnotic territory where bleepy riffs and throbbing bass pummel you into submission, while Buba rounds off the reworks with a slick breaks version with a sci-fi edge that pushes the original into the depths of outer space.

Stereoimagery - Another Shake

Respected label Diynamic has announced the eighth edition of its popular ‘Four to the Floor’ series. 

The series aims to champion four productions that have been handpicked, road-tested and approved by label-boss Solomun. The ‘Four to the Floor’ EP series is comprised of four different dancefloor-orientated tracks from different producers, from upcoming talents to long-established electronic music artists. 

First up is ‘Zulu’ from Buenos Aires duo Brigado Crew and Argentinian producer Crisstiano. Drawing from their South American roots, ‘Zulu’ is a percussive track with a laidback yet exotic feel thanks to its echoing vocal samples.

Picking up the pace, German duo Adana Twins’ ‘Uncompromising’ features a driving bassline and clattering synths, building up in waves for a series of dramatic drops. 

Next up is Ukrainian duo ARTBAT & French producer Rafael Cerato with ‘Uplift’, a track that slowly builds ambience with flittering synths before plundering into a hefty low end. 

Rounding off the latest edition of ‘Four to the Floor’ is the atmospheric ‘Pretend To Fly’ from Definition. The 7-minute journey features wistful male vocals and distinctive arpeggios leading into the rich basslines characteristic of the Diynamic sound. With a relatively short career span, Definition has already had a slew of releases on Materialism and Underground Audio allowing his support to grow.
