Techno#2 [Library]

Young UK based producer Cleric has established himself not only as a bonafide new talent and key player in the International Techno world, but also as a prolific artist on Figure.

Now well known for his crisp, deadly club tracks and rich melancholic ambient studies, in this fifth single for the label he explores his hard-hitting yet luxurious sound ever further.

What's immediate about the four tracks on offer here is Cleric's extremely powerful, yet masterfully controlled bass frequencies. Coupled with his addictive, smart and dark 90s-reminiscent synth hooks, we're left with an array of stomping, percussive weapons primed for expansive spaces and killer sound systems.

From the storming energy of opening cut The Key of Night all the way through to the deeper- tripping Solar Fields it's a must-have EP for 'those who know'.

CLOUDS | Boys On E. Terriers
[SOMA404d]

1.	Teenage Boy 
2.	Elevator Girl
3.	Genista Cave 4 


Scottish duo Clouds return to Soma after their devastating debut on the label last year with Complete Control. Once again the youngsters have served up 3 hammering tracks as they continue their attack on the Techno world, Boys On E. Terriers shows why Clouds are consider one of the most up and coming players in electronic music.

Teenage Boy opens the EP with crunching, stomping loops which over time clunk together into a tasty broken beat loop, propelling itself with rocket powered snares and hi hats leading to one almighty synth hook. The track really goes hell bound when Clouds let rip their signature rave-esq sound with images of firefights above dystopian cities as rip roaring drums are shredded by the wild, distorted synth line. 

Elevator Girl keeps things running in a similar fashion. A little more for-four than it’s predecessor but just as ferocious. Heavily distorted drums punch in, moving at lightning speed as looped out vocal cuts keep a hypnotic vibe. Pure punishment is the order of the day with Elevator Girl as clanking percussion bounces around the track while pulsing samples wail their way in the background. Not for the faint hearted.

The imaginatively titled Genista Cave 4 rounds of the EP with yet more full on abrasive sounds from Clouds. Stuttered vocal cuts sit over a thumping loop and the tracks rolls quickly into full swing dropping quickly into full on kick drum mayhem slaughtered by rattling percussion. 

The two little terrors are carving their way through Techno at the moment with their cacophony of distorted beats and ferocious production skill.

F. Noize - Lord Of The Underground (Toxic Remix)

One of the true masters of modern minimalism, and one of the central artists on Figure SPC, Dutch artist Jeroen Search is back! Over three exciting and urgent new tracks Search hones in his skills in programming and arrangement to create yet more exciting and unique club tools.

A refined and trippy journey into the cleaner, more funky end of the Techno spectrum, 'Magnus' works an airy, bleep-era riff atop snappy, tight drums and frenetic hat and ride elevations. Constantly lifting the energy, dropping it off with subtle tension, and bringing it back again, its a masterful example of the producer's talents.

Drifitng into more edgy zones, the darker and more sinister 'Renaissance' welcomes back Jeroen's jacking house influences, as this groovy 90s-vibed jam takes off. A rough and totally out-there synth riff emerges from the forward pushing percussion to take centre stage, creating a moment of wild abandon!

'Formalized' completes the EP with a more abstract trip into dark dance. Classic techno bleeps and pizzicato synth patterns revolve and hypnotize in this reduced and frankly killer slice of paranoid genius.


Magnus

Sound Associates are late 90s UK producers Ben Tisdall and Daz Saund. With a long string of releases on labels like Music Man, Tortured, Missile and more, the pair defined a funky, frenetic tribal Techno sound. 

Their raw and challenging sonics, with compressed low ends and crisp highs no doubt contributed to the benchmarks for Techno today. Perhaps some of the unsung heroes of the pioneering UK scene, Sound Associates have left a permanent stamp on the shape of club music without compromise.

Following on from his Edits of DJ Hyperactive, JPLS and Mikael Jonasson, Len Faki now takes on original Sound Associates material in two burning new interpretations. 

Both 'Jacknife' and 'Boombox' blend the jacking, floor-burning funk of the original S.A cuts, with Faki's unmistakable attention to detail, and deadly-high production values. Finely tuned, yet raw and unrelenting, they are a perfect addition to Figure's current run of releases, setting new and higher standards for underground Techno in 2014.

Continuing his prolific run of new material for the label, Johannes Heil continues to push forward with his 'Transitions' series, here collecting four more unique tracks for Volume 2.

Opening with the serene calm and Krautrock influenced 'Transition Five', a five minute piece that opens up a rich synth landscape full of space and texture, we then move onto the first of the EP's two full-spectrum Techno trips. Hotly tipped for the Summer as an essential Festival and Open Air 'moment, the powerful and optimistic energy behind 'Transition Six' is hard to ignore. That combined with Heil's extremely well sculpted and high-end production, the scene is set for madness to ensue… 

On the flip side we visit more paranoid zones with 'Transition Seven'. Building from a minimalistic stuttering rhythm, a soaring Sci-Fi soundtrack of strings and intricate synth patterns lift the tension, while dramatic sound effects crash and shimmer across the spectrum. 

This then prepares us for 'Transition Eight', in which we find Johannes working his refined club-sound into yet further directions and angles. At once hypnotising and dominating in its driving bass register and captivating arrangement, a highly charged minimalist club tool for 2014 awaits!

Figure arrives at its 60th release with label mainstay Markus Suckut. The young German producer's sound easily represents some of the most focused, intense and immediate techno around, and he continues his fine run of form with three unique tracks on Figure 60.

Over nine minutes 'Abandonedt' graces the A side in a snaking, intense industrial journey perfectly set up for moments of high drama. A throbbing, acidic bassline winds itself around the central axis of the track, with washes of rave-inspired pads adding extra momentum.

A more reduced affair, 'Corp' is classic Suckut territory. Giving the DJ room to work, while providing an incredibly solid backbone of mysterious psycho-funk, Markus takes us deep into his dark, loop world of submerged sub-sonics and rattling percussion.

The slower paced, dubby vibes of 'March' complete the EP as an addictive filtered vocal sample emerges amongst sharply snapping snares and fluffy hats. Bringing out the magic in the groove with only a few elements, its yet another masterclass in modern minimalism.

DANNY DAZE "DUAL"
@dannydaze

BEATPORT EXCLUSIVE: JUNE 8
WORLDWIDE RELEASE: JUNE 22

Following last year's revered Silicon, Danny Daze releases his second for ULTRAMAJIC - Dual.

Of Cuban descent and raised in Miami, Daze grew up steeped in b-boy culture before beginning his exploration into the electronic music realms.

Praised for his diversity, his vision is to break sonic boundaries, whilst preserving music's integrity, both in the studio and behind the decks.

2014 saw Daze step up a level, with releases on Kompakt, Ellum and his first release for ULTRAMAJIC, which came through meeting Jimmy Edgar on the experimental scene, via labels including M3rck, Warp and Schematic. He also stepped back into the fashion world, scoring music for the Song for the Mute clothing brand.

Daze began 2015 with 'Four' - a collaboration EP on the intriguing new label Omnidisc. He also began a new experimental monthly podcast series entitled Sunday Morning, and recently delivered a dark and beautiful remix for Marc Houle's Talk to me Baby on Minus.

Next up is his second for ULTRAMAJIC, Dual, representing two facets of Daze's sound, including the hypnotic frequencies of 'Ready2Go' versus the striking warehouse of 'Rhythm Box'.
"On 'Ready2Go' I wanted to make a track that is driving and influenced by dryness. The bassline and synth bell tone are very dry and represent a Detroit techno sound that has always influenced me. With 'Rhythm Box', I wanted to make a pounding techno record with good drums. The vocal influence came from an old movie, called 'Liquid Sky', one of my go-to movies for inspiration.“

We are happy to present Misoo from italy, who is known for his versatile techno productions. After his huge remix for Marc Troit’s ’1210 Feeling’ he shows up again on Drowne Records with his ’Red Lights’ EP. Coming to light with two original tracks and two remixes by the german techno-stalwart Krenzlin & the austrian techno-mistress Verona Kramer, this release covers many facets of techno. 

The title track 'Red Lights' comes up with a short intro, before a sweet offbeat-accentuated groove predetermines the tracks direction. Piercing one-note synthstabs and warm strings reinforce the tracks melodic character and create an uplifting mood! Well placed snarefires make tension, and bright rides enlighten the tracks structure, while classy cowbells remind on days which have been long gone by, but not forgotten! 

Follow-up ’Transfer’ starts with bulbous kickdrums, a tonal bassline and driving low percs, which lay the foundation for a unique techno track. Sharp hihats chop an offbeat-accentuation and additional tops start layering to tighten ’Transfer’, while powerful crashes and rides strike at the right time! Propelling percussions back-up the groove while electrifying synths break through the soundscape and bristle with energy before submerging again. 

Krenzlin , who is deeply rooted into the infamous Tresor/Berlin, boils it down with his conceptual 909 rework of ’Red Lights’, and takes no prisoners. His rework storms ahead right from the beginning and uses the originals strings and synths to transfer the uplifting mood very well! Tribal percussions clank back and forth while the beloved 909 ride bristles with energy, and confirms Krenzlin’s re-definition as a tune to blow the roof off! 

Last but not least, Krenzlin teamed up with Verona Kramer to put hands on Misoo’s ’Transfer’ too. Their remix deploys powerful groove-accentuations and organic percussions alongside nerve-wrecking rhythms. The electrifying synths, known from the original, shove themselves in the foreground and push the excitement to the max, before the remix detonates again! 

In conclusion the 'Red Lights EP' comes along as a versatile release for the peaktime hours, and represents Drowne Records love for the complexity of underground techno music. It reaches from melodic techno to unforgivingly hard-hitting rhythms, and leaves space for different moods too!
