Richie Hawtin: ENTER.Week 13, Main (Space Ibiza, September 5, 2013)

Release date (vinyl & digital): 10th of March 

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Function - Disaffected

Cleric hails from Manchester in the North of England and describes his precision designed, heavy techno tracks as a means to translate emotion to others; to transport his intuitive feel for timing, tension and sound engineering to listeners far and wide.

Over three tracks, Cleric's functional and tense take on the modern techno sound keeps things nicely restrained, loaded with kinetic energy and heavy potential for well-tuned sound systems. 'Pattern One', '…Two' and '…Three' each offer a different angle on a central theme, that revolves around sizable kick drums, crisp cutting hats and percussion, and smooth dub-themed synth elements that all dance in spacious unison. 

Len Faki also lends his hand to 'Pattern One', introducing a crafty breakdown to the proceedings and his trademark builds and cuts, completing this essential package.

Marco Shuttle: Sing Like a Bird - Original Mix - 2 min excerpt

The one and only Marco Bailey is back on Phobiq with a threefold attack, covering all bases and flavors. Starting off with "Funky Feet", we are introduced to a steamrolling groove with tons of percussion-based action alongside busy snares and a stomping kick. The aptly-titled "The Black Stallion" takes over from there with a galloping bassline and sneaky shakers and hats. Some very tasty dark stabs come in to play alongside gurgling fx and the stallion is literally on the loose. On "The White Stallion", on the other hand, things are more straightforward with pulsating bass and streamlined synths putting together a tense atmosphere; all of which Mikael Jonasson completely flips around, adding otherworldly pads and phrases made of vocal edits, on his own rendition.

After the foundations for his new chapter of productions solidified, with Figure 53 welcoming him to the Figure camp, Cleric now continues to build on his raw yet sharp and accurately cut techno sound. This varied 4 tracker shows off the British producer's tastes for textural, ambient soundscapes and edgy broken beats, alongside pure and straight ahead club killers.

'Tentative' serves as a canvas for the EP to grow and take its form. From shadowy undertones, sound-system feedback and murky basement textures, a complex and visceral sound world is born. The steady punch of 'Sigmund' translates these textures into a 4/4 driven jam then, with Cleric's signature precise programming and reduced melodic elements leading us down an exciting and undulating path. 

Upping the pace one step further, 'Conflict' comes on strong in the most powerful track of the EP. Angry synth motifs swirl and build around a rock-solid platter of bass energy. Cleric keeps the action refined and dry in this must-have tool.

Finally the inventive broken beats of 'Wickerman' shatter the 4-to-the-floor template in a tense and tracky exploration into more challenging zones. Rough textural percussion clatters to great effect and drives this heavy stepper along perfectly.

We have a very special guest for this episode. Man of the moment and one of the artists that sets the course for techno as we speak, Shifted, is on duty for episode 19. Noone knows exactly who is behind this mysterious monnniker, all we know he is no newcomer to the electronic arena. His debutalbum 'Crossed Paths' on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label, is a stunning collection of tracks: rich in textures and with an almost physical ambiance. He made this podcast especially for his appearance at the first edition of BALANS at Melkweg on friday the 6th of july. Enjoy the darkness and make sure you don't miss him in Amsterdam!

As always, we had our Q&A with the mystery man:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

No relationship to mention really, i'm just a fan of both the label, which is putting out consistently great music and of Darko as a producer.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

Try to eat well, not drink to much and enjoy life. Stress is the cause of so much ill health, I think if you have a healthy mind then your body follows.

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

I just wanted to do something more aimed at the Dancefloor. the intro and the outro also have some processed field recordings that i added on top to make it a little more interesting.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

Usually i'm playing vinyl, but i just recently moved to Berlin and as a result have no Technics here at the moment. I put this together in Ableton Live.

05.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

I have a collaboration with Edit Select that just came out on Semantica, I'm also working on a full EP for them. Aside from that theres remixes for Mike Parker, DJ Skirt & Planetary Assault Systems coming soon. And i'm working on a new Pacific Blue 12" and something for Avian.. No doubt there will be another EP for Mote Evolver this year as well.

We are proud to welcome a new member to Patchlab Records. Dutch newcomer Remy Kruyer delivers two warm techno tracks.

Enjoy!

Remy Kruyer & Nick Nash - Subdub (Original Mix)

Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted's productions are fuelled by a personal passion for techno. This four-track EP for Mote-Evolver represents an earnest expression of creativity from an enigmatic artist; freed from the restrictions of expectation and reputation.

Opening up with the kind of sparsely constructed but highly incendiary deep- space-techno that has characterized much of Moteʼs recent output, Drained is a thumping bass-driven ride through sinister moods and scratchy sounding effects.

Polaron brings an abrasive feel to the release, contrasting with the deeper moods found elsewhere on the EP, as heavy beats and mechanical percussion provide momentum while resounding chimes and shrill stabs add frenetic drama.

Futuristic and hypnotic, Bound combines the pacey dynamism of snappy rhythms with mesmerizing atmospheric loops which weave together to create a shifting melody; oscillating subtly against a backdrop of relentless percussion.

Junk appears as a digital only bonus. Tense and brooding, this pulsing, stripped back epic is centered on bleeping melodic lines and echoing chimes that fade in and out like distant code transmissions lost amongst the surrounding sonic hum.

Rrose 'Waterfall' (Lucy Remix) [EAUX491]

Len Faki - Mekong Delta

Mote-Evolver’s ever successful Parallel Series is now on to its fourth installment, this time with two West Coast producers - Developer and Truncate - going head to head. Pairing of the two is uncanny in many ways given their close friendship and the geographical base they share, and appears to be the perfect choice to highlight the difference between their sound and style to realize the concept of Parallel Series: contrast & compliment.   

The EP opens with “Drive Themes” by Developer, a producer who’s known for the deeply dramatic groove charged with masculine energy.  With its focused and streamlined forward-moving force, “Drive Themes” is a track of relentless agility.  “Random Attraction” maintains the same tempo but adds enticing elements of distorted shouts of melody on top of the ruthless yet smooth layers of chords and hats, all beautifully harmonized to perfection.  Developer’s contribution makes the darker and moodier side of EP and its stirring emotion serves as a nice counterpart to its slightly more lighthearted flip side.  

Fellow LA-based producer Truncate steps out of his usual sound of rock-solid and thumping techno with “Is It Skinny”, a spaced-out hypnotic track that contains a vocal sample that’s so demure and unexpected that it melts into the swirling bleeps of melodies, and you wouldn’t even notice if it wasn’t the title that gives out.  “Forty Four” is yet another track that’s born for the floor, inducing aural pleasure with its funky rolling bass dancing with congo-like drums and claps.
