PREMIERE: Larsson, Vilchezz - Mapalé [Fasta Danza]

Seroto Marcal

Today’s premiere comes courtesy of Greek techno producer Annē as she debuts on Mutual Rytm on the label’s second edition of the Federation Of Rytm compilation. Annē’s track is a deep and murky tool that showcases the producer’s ability to provide menacing rhythms while still remaining fully faithful to the groove.

SHDW & Obscure Shape and Mutual Rytm celebrate their first birthday with an outstanding 3 vinyl pack as their milestone tenth release to date and the second instalment of their Federation of Rytm compilation series.

German producers SHDW & Obscure Shape’s imprint, Mutual Rytm is the pairs most prestigious and cherished project to date. Through their vision and philosophy of music that champions “modern old school techno”, they have been able to display a wealth of aspiring, established & legendary producers who share the same values on techno.

For their 1st anniversary of the label they bring things full circle as they showcase their second instalment of the Federation of Rytm which follows the debut release from label this time last year. Ten records later and SHDW & Obscure Shape bring to life a new compilation which features 22 tracks: 18 cuts spread over 3 vinyls covered with the label’s neat artwork signature, and 4 digital bonus tracks.

We premiere ANNĒ‘s debut feature on the label with her track ‘Blind’ which is one of the darker shades of techno on the compilation as the Greek producer leans on cavernous percsussive textures, lurking vocal growls and infectious low-end rhythms. ANNĒ showcases her ability to supply high grade functional techno, that is frighteningly dishevelled yet totally alluring.

Seasons are changing - energy is shifting. The next Frenzy release is here, presenting the next-best-local talent on the block: Levzon. This born-to-be gearhead from the outskirts of Amsterdam began experimenting with electronic music as a youngster. Immersing himself in a variety of genres throughout his early years, he decided to take the next step and provide an output for his vision on techno as ‘Levzon’. For our next Frenzy adventure, he is going all out for the first time, profiling his sound through a 4-track heavy-hitting EP with old-school-induced cuts and loopy basslines, including two remixes by like-minded associates. Imagine an era where speed has no limit and the night knows no dawn. That’s about the atmosphere ‘Mambata’ is creating at the start of the A-side. Followed by drum-led ‘Bang the Drums’, Levzon continues to ride the wave of heat, pressure, and movement. The adventure doesn’t end here yet: talent on the rise Phil Berg is providing a perfectly executed dubby remix of ‘Bang The Drums’.

Killer, deep and raw techno from rising star ANNĒ.

Soma proudly welcome back Greek up and coming producer ANNĒ for her first solo release with the label, entitled Blossom Tool. Since appearing on a Collective Process VA with Soma, ANNĒ has gone from strength to strength with releases on some coveted imprints and a burgeoning DJ calendar that has taken her across the world. With her new Soma EP, ANNĒ continues to evolve her uniquely deep and groove focussed approach to techno.

Title track Blossom Tool hits the ground running with an infectious groove, stripped back percussion and minimalistic synth work. Cardigan picks the pace up but once again focuses on deep and driven drums backed with perfectly crafted percussive elements. Hideous by name but not by nature, ANNĒ works up a superbly crafted, trippy and hypnotic track that utilises raw grooves and subtle sweeping pads. Off Grid closes out the EP in style and ANNĒ channels early hard groove with it’s driving bass lines, crafty synth hooks and funked out percussion.

DifferentSound Premiere // Lars Huismann

Lars Huismann is back on Mutual Rytm with the much-anticipated third volume of his ‘Sounds From The Past’ trilogy.

A core part of SHDW & Obscure Shape’s ever more crucial Mutual Rytm imprint thanks to his timeless techno offerings as part of his ongoing ‘Sounds From The Past’ series, Berlin-based DJ/producer Lars Huismann’s stock continues to rise release by release as a talent merging influences from the past with forward-thinking nuances of the future. Drawing on the early 2000 techno sound, he embellishes it with his own perspective, as evidenced by his earlier releases on the label. This latest six-track offering is another accomplished outing from this unique talent as he concludes the three-part series on the label in style.

The title track ‘Sound From The Past III’ opens up with a finely filtered chord groove that provides a smooth and hypnotising foundation. A subtle bassline, buoyant kick drums, and embedded vocal patterns harmonise with the synths, unveiling a smooth linear groove that soon sweeps you up.

‘Fusion’ brings more intensity with its barreling drum kicks, a dirty driving bassline, and melodies flashing by like headlights on an intergalactic motorway, with the overhanging pent-up energy inescapable. Next, ‘Shimmer’ rides on vast, heavy layered drums that are warm, and comforting as the track travels through a journey of diverse dub techno elements.

Like in ‘Loucura’, taken from ‘Sounds From The Past II’, Lars again showcases his strong influences from Brazilian and Latin music. On ‘Estar Farto’, the drums and bass are tightly interwoven, racing beneath bright and funky synth lines that bring ever-evolving shades of colour. A jazz drummer himself, the music transports into the groove via intelligent brass chord progressions and fine-tuned vocal and percussion elements.

It’s straight dance floor business on the closing vinyl production ‘Bittersweet’, with its muted synth smears darting over more macho drum programming, while digital bonus ‘Dusty Lick’ is an unrelenting, jazzy, percussion-driven banger that hits hard and heavy in all the right places.

Lars Huismann’ Sounds From The Past III’ EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 2nd June 2023.

After over a decade of silence, Fuse Club finally awakens its in-house imprint to redefine the design of contemporary club music. With reinvigorated intentions, the word echoes through its future releases - timeless. These records, finding a home in the Brussels’ 30 year old institution, are crafted to endure a perpetually shapeshifting scene, balancing drive, tension, and introspection. 

First in line to contribute to this project is none other than Fuse’s very own resident Altinbas. Following a string of releases on his own Observer Station, Token, SK_Eleven, and many others, Altinbas tastefully blends atmospheric ambiances and elusive synth work and arrangements - all recontextualized in impressively decisive percussion lines. Creating dimension in each track, the Brussels native whips texture far and wide with persistent tension and a well-rounded low end. 

‘Hunt’ kicks off the EP at full pace with a thickened bassline, rapidly spreading out with the introduction of supporting synths shortly thereafter. Racing through a head spinning arrangement, Altinbas swiftly interchanges hi hats to tame the loose ambiance. A heavier track for the A1, we take a deeper dive into the followup ‘Good Intentions’. Almost without warning, the record takes a dark turn with the apparition of a chilling key to mark the measures. Rolling through with a booming bass drum and all other elements responding in suit, we draw closer to the end to discover an important contrast in the B side. The title track ‘Reshape’ takes a step back in attitude and proposes a carefully crafted classic approach, complete with bouncing dub stabs and shuffled out drum machine sequences. Rising in tension through opening filters and sprinkling in rides, Altinbas performs satisfyingly smooth transitions while remaining playfully in control. This guides us to the finale of the EP, entitled ‘Sphaere’. Switching things up close on a surprise, we’re gifted a harmonic groover - reminiscent of post-90s techno delivered with surgical attention to detail. Tone is central here, boasting a powerful midrange and enough space to let it evolve throughout - a clever conclusion for the first installment of Fuse Imprint.
