Heron | The Wave
[SOMA402]

1. The Wave
2. Convolution

Heron returns to Soma for his 3rd solo release as he follows up the retro-esq Foolish Solina & Sorna Bay with a much more stripped back and thumping affair for his latest EP, The Wave. 

The Wave clatters in, kicking this EP of with a bang and a wildly intense kick drum sets the tone right form the outset. Piercing percussion strides along side wailing synths, guttural pad sweeps and trippy vocal cuts. Heron has really aimed for the dance floor with this jacked up techno offering and hits the bullseye easily.

Heron doesn’t mess about on the flip either and Convolution strikes just as hard as his A side counterpart. A solid drum workout kicks this track to life as slowing opening synths give this monster a deeper edge. Things really start to happen and Heron drops a signature pad line that really gives this a more Detroit sensibility.

Heron steps up his game for this release as he moves into deeper and harder territory whilst still staying true to his sound.

Big up the Bassline And Tape Throb y'all ! Tape throb, this is "is an attempt to get to a time in electronic music, where everything sounds warmer", explains the Irish producer Andrew Morrison known as Buz Ludzha (aka @the-cyclist). His newest EP "Basslines for life" contains four wobbled and multilayered tracks entwisting cassette textures, blown-out bass and warehouse rhythm. One of it, "Vibradreams", was already premiered in Boiler Room Debuts. The EP is out today on well-loved LA label @100percentsilk and we're exclusively streaming "Basslines for Life". Jam out!

Premiere: Mall Grab - Let U Kno [Hokkaido Dance Club]

Having established themselves as a reliable source of deep and techno house treats, Axe on Wax has decided to launch a sub-label to cater for "grittier" material. The first missive on Axe Trax comes from previously unheard Sydney duo "Sonderr". Their trademark sound is crusty, analogue sounding, and smothered in tape hiss. Even so, there's a drowsy beauty to standout cut "All My Dreams", despite the presence of a booming, sub-heavy bassline and clattering, all-action drum machine beats. The deeper and dreamier "Finding Time" is almost as good, with the duo holding back on the intensity in favour of rich ambient house chords, eyes-closed melody lines, and fizzing, Motor City inspired drums. Here premiered, Mall Grab's remix of the same track is, rather predictably, also rather good ;) Out 25th of April

Felix Leifur | The Sunday Club EP | Dirt Crew Recordings

Cat No. : DIRT097
Rel Date : 23.05.16

Track list: 
A1 – Berg Toppur
A2 – Giving
B1 – The Sunday Club
B2 – Berg Toppur (Hidden Spheres „Rocky Top“ Remix)
Digi Only – Wait

Release Info: 
Introducing Felix Leifur, Dirt Crew’s latest discovery, an all new, raw and savvy talent from Reykjavík, Iceland. Reykjavík has a population of just over 120,000, so the disco, hip hop and soul sampling, house music community that Felix rolls with is pretty tight knit, giving him a unique and inspired perspective on the sound. Remixing is friend of the label, Manchester’s Hidden Spheres. After breaking through on our ‘Deep Love 10’ compilation, he went on to drop his ‘Waiting’ EP last summer on ‘Distant Hawaii’ (the dreamy offshoot of ‘Lobster Theremin’).

On the A, ‘Berg Toppur’, is a dance floor workout, a sublime balance of shimmering rhodes and vibrant arps with slamming organic percussion. ‘Giving’ is a spirited and warbling cut, crooning vocals and gritty horn blasts punctuate it’s steady groove and loose live clap. This one’s got open air written all over it.

On the B-side, ‘The Sunday Club’ is a eclectic and somewhat eccentric jam, samples from across decades, weave together to create something altogether new. Next up, Hidden Spheres’ “Rocky Top” remix of ‘Berg Toppur’ eases in with a casual vibe, steamy drums, and a no-nonsense bass line set the pace, while the arps and elated vocals from the original sweep and soar, building to a feverish peak of sun-scorched bliss. Finally, ’Wait’ sets the mood with a dusty jazz piano refrain and a strutting groove, before bringing the playful yet punchy trip home with a solid head-nodding bass line.

Felix Leifur’s diverse ear and distinct style gives ‘The Sunday Club’ EP the perfect blend of breezy summertime spirit and serious night club heat.

Harry Wolfman | “Downstream” EP | Dirt Crew Recordings
Cat No. : DIRT105
Rel Date : 08.05.17

Track list: 
A1  Fermi
A2 Ice Thin
B1  Downstream
B2 Ice Thin (Jesse Futerman Remix)
B3 Outro Version

Release Info:
We’re happy to welcome back Harry Wolfman for a full record after his fine collaborative “Square Lane” EP with Loz Goddard last year. Here he delves into the leftfield side of house, this dreamy 5-tracker. Toronto’s Jesse Futerman joins us for the remix fresh from his debut releases on Church and Omena.

“Fermi” brings the tropically tinged deep house heat, wavering pads and buoyant bass paint us a mirage of sweltering summer days ahead. “Ice Thin” starts as a melancholic mover, it steadily builds through dusty samples, shaken percussion and smokey moods elevating the energy into something euphoric.

Things get gritty as we flip to the b-side. “Downstream” is a dark and grainy outing, edgy arps work in and out of tough drums and frenzied synths. Jesse’s superb rework of “Ice Thin” features distant horns and vocals that ring out over a warbling rhodes and rumbling bass, then comes the lick of a slide guitar reminiscent of some kind of twisted western.

Wrapping up this beautiful and somewhat nostalgic journey we turn to “Outro Version” a funk laden work out. Rich strings and woodwinds fill out the lush landscape that swells and soars across the steady, bottom heavy, dance inducing groove.
