the september no issue

Don’t think the fact that you’ll be spending your weekend getting beamed in the face by beach balls and railing sunscreen necessarily implies that shit can’t get at least a little bit cerebral when you’re out in Palm Springs for Splash House. 

As multinational deep house  TACHES’ Splash House Session mix shows, there’s plenty of room for headier themes that keep a laid back vibe. For example, acts unknown in the dance world like The Books and Blonde Redhead sit very comfortable aside choice house cuts from the likes of Dance Spirit and Butch. Even The Zombies’ flower power folk-rock classic “Time of the Season” gets an outing, albeit via an M.in & Suptil edit.

Heavy Rotations Vol 1 is Maeve's first long player. Releasing a
compilation has long been an ambition of the label, however time was the
key component in producing a record we could all be proud of. The best
laid plans can often fall by the wayside, having a clear idea of what
you want to achieve with a record like this changes constantly as you
collect the pieces of the puzzle and try fit them together in a way that
makes sense.

As well as the label founders we started by also inviting friends that
had already released on Maeve, to contribute to the compilation. This
was a good starting point as each of those artists are all quite
different from one another so we felt it could produce some interesting
results. There was no brief, just a blank canvas to contribute something
they felt belonged on the label. It was also super important for us to
use this record as a platform for lesser known artists to showcase their
work.

So after 2 years of planning we finally have an 11 track compilation
together which will be delivered as a triple vinyl in early June. It is
a record that developed and changed a lot over that period but now is
something Maeve is very excited to share with the world.

On May 19th we will launch the record at Funkhaus Berlin with a line up
compiled of those who contributed to the compilation.

2017 saw the arrival of Pin Up Club at Bordello A Parigi with the cool three tracker "Friends of the Vortex". Now the Dutch partnership are back. This time a quartet of tracks has been selected to produce The Forever Machine. The bold bars of Friends of the Vortex, the romantic rushes and soundtrack silhouettes are all present with new elements being introduced to further develop a truly unique style. Breathy vocals and melancholy are countered by warm synthlines in the brooding “Valis” before the lonesome “Is There Anybody Out There?” blooms into a daringly bright work of disco dimensions. Opening the flip is the title piece. Smouldering, “The Forever Machine” burns with quivering chords that rise ever skyward on a column of tight rhythms as lyrics spiral ever upward. “A Deepness In The Sky” is a perfect illustration of Pin Up Club’s ability to transform burgeoning sombre sounds into tempered elation, rumbling strings and fragile percussion intermingling for a heady finale.

Talented UK newcomer Yarni teams up with Javi for a second outing on Exploited following the lush 'La Vida Es Bella', exhibiting more class and grace with this delicate new track.

Enlisting the vocal talents of Dutch singer Mâhfoud for 'A Little Piece', they have crafted something rather special once again. Gentle piano chords play out beneath a filter as atmospheric FX and delayed chords build the vibe around them. Insistent yet restrained bass tones drop in to provide more backbone to the succinct percussion, the dizzying vocal FX continuing to swirl away in the background as plucked instrumentation sends your mind to distant lands. 

When the soothing harmonies of the vocal glide into play, they cut through the track like a hot knife through butter, providing a real lift to the proceedings. The subtle melodics play out a question-and-answer style arrangement, deftly reacting to each other. Each is simple in its construction, but sequenced together they build a mood brilliantly. Mâhfoud’s delivery is highly accomplished, a moody indie-dance vibe paired with the shamanic vibe of the music. 

Given how well they work together on this resplendent track, we’re convinced you’ll be hearing from this trio again. 

‘Anxiety Over’ is a conceptual track which sees the duo exploring the idea of darkness turning into light. Over the course of the track they build tension with discordant chord stabs and techno drums before the track patiently evolves into melodic ecstasy with its beautiful vocal sample, Prophet chords and playful marimba melodies.

Exclusive Cornucopia 'Forever Gone'

Mysterious project Cornucopia releases its sophomore EP, 'Forever Gone' on Canada based label microCastle. The EP's title track, a 11:34 minute voyage into the depth of organically sounding spheres, shines through its consciousness of combing transcendental soundscapes with nature and therefore perfectly fits the label's musical philosophy. After an almost three minute build-up of diverse spherical elements 'Forever Gone' then introduces the congas, which in combination with the aforementioned spherical soundscapes form the body of the track. But just as you expect to be carried to the end of the track 'Forever Gone' closes in for the final chapter as the bass line sets in.

Cornucopia's EP 'Forever Gone' will be released on July 27th, 2018 on microCastle.

Release Date: 24th August 2018

Anjunadeep’s Explorations series returns this August with it’s sixth outing. Boasting five label debutants in Xinobi, Yunus Güvenen, Ole Beige, Ceas, and Westseven, and the return of John Monkman, the latest in the series is as diverse as it is distinct.

First up is John Monkman’s ‘Magnolia’. A cascading dive into the deep end, Magnolia’s haunting atmospheres and whirling leads culminate in an evocative track, triumphantly signalling Monkman's return to Anjunadeep after three years.

Featuring a infectious hook set to a pulsating chord progression, Xinobi’s ’Skulls’ is a floor filler for the masses, marking an impressive full label debut for the Lisbon producer.

Having recently released his first track in four years, Bedrock Records affiliate Yunus Güvenen steps up with ‘Lost In Sight’. Originating from Turkey, Güvenen’s production is both celestial and emotive, evoking the classic progressive sound of the 2000’s.

Ole Beige’s offering is an organic track imbued with tribal vocals and percussion. The German producer’s penchant for emotive house has previously seen the support from Pete Tong, epitomised in the soulful detuned chords and driven syncopated synthlines of ‘Tanzanian'.

A culmination of subtle percussion, nuanced keys, and soaring synths, Ceas’ ‘Parosse’ signals a promising future for the French Producer, previously one half of duo We Need Cracks.

Closing out Explorations 06 is ‘Seeds’ from Westseven, a new project from Kuala Lumpur based producer Rory Gallagher. ‘Seeds’ sees Gallagher bounce deep arpeggios off a brooding bassline to craft an enigmatic and hypnotic atmosphere.

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-patricia-early-stages-of-something

‘Early Stages Of Something‘ on @nona-rec strikingly evokes the constantly evolutive, WIP-friendly feel of @patriciaaa's compositions; recorded in single takes and as little retouched as possible – allowing him to “view mistakes that, in the past I would’ve edited out, as unique events in a song that only happen once.”

Jad Taleb is a Music producer, Film composer and DJ based in Beirut. He also works in video and fine arts.
Jad is the co-founder of Beirut based electronic rock band Flum project, with whom he released his debut album “Dormant” in 2015. He is also co-founder of Assault on structure, an audiovisual platform that supports Live electronic music and Hybrid art installations.

In December 2016, he recorded and produced his first electronic EP 'Transitory' at Riverside Studios Berlin, a first step in exposing his music to the outside world. He has been touring around Europe since 2017.

One of Beirut’s most recognizable names, producer and composer Jad Taleb, stepped up at the first True Music show in Beirut, Lebanon for Boilerrom https://youtu.be/vE0tTY0YZnQ

His music is often described as having a warm, emotive quality, often meant to inspire nostalgia, delineated by a very dense and thick timbre that pushes the listener to retreat into a world of undulating sound. Dirty and atmospheric soundscapes, a chaotic combination that makes you get lost in the haze of sound!

On his debut for our label Jad Taleb takes his tasteful brand of oldschool dirty house right into modern techno territory, only to bring it right back again, and whip it into something new and fresh. 'Lamb Fruit' blends 90’s inspired house music with elements of techno, synth wave and jazz funk.

FF003 | Tigerskin | Silver Sun EP | Out 03.09.2018

1 - Bordeaux (Restored by Stefan Janson)
2 - Silver Sun (Restored by Stefan Janson)
3 - Neontrance (Restored by Stefan Janson)
4 - Suzuki Rider (Restored by Stefan Janson)
5 - Wanted (Restored by Stefan Janson)

For our third offering we’ve chosen four Tigerskin classics for you plus one unreleased tune from Alex Krüger’s Archives. 

‘Bordeaux’, from 2008, is a dark and lush space hymn that set the tone for many of Tigerskin’s productions in the years to come. It features acoustic kicks and percussion, sequenced synth toms, subtle pitch changes and has lots of atmosphere which, back then, you‘d rather expected in Drum & Bass. 

‘Silver Sun’, unreleased til today, was taken from the same 2005 recordings session as ‚Neontrance‘. A minimal groove and a ton of bass marry a big room full of breathing acid synths and reverbs while little artefacts fly around like mosquitos.  

‘Neontrance’ is one of Alex‘s widely known ‚acid techno‘ pieces. Rhythmically changing synth-patterns are built around a proper booming Tr-808 until that hi pitched synth line comes in... Simple. Effective. This one’s still killing dance floors all over the world since it‘s 2006 release on Dirt Crew Recordings.

The last two, ‘Suzuki Rider’ and ‘Wanted’ have been originally recorded and released in 2008, also with Dirt Crew, as part of th ‘Peter’s Secret Weapon Ep’ and since we and many others out there always loved both for their beauty and elegance we won‘t want to keep the fresh versions from you any longer.

All five tunes have been beautifully restored again from their original parts by Stefan Janson.

Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007. Exploited Rec now plays host to some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Budakid, Joyce Muniz, James Curd, Shir Khan (to name a few) - and its artists have been receiving numerous supportive spins from the likes of Solomun, Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf&Lamb, Azari&III, Jesse Rose, Axel Boman and A-Trak.
This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
