track premieres

Four Four Magazine: Premieres

After a stellar week for premieres, we wrap up for this week with an amazing, high octane techno track, from hardware enthusiast Stefan Goldmann.

Goldmann’s music has been released on labels like Perlon, Innervisions, and others since 2001. In further years, Goldmann has created a tight relationship with Berlin’s Berghain and Panorama Bar club, for which he publishes a column, is a co-author of its book, and is the creator of the Elektroakustischer Salon event series.

Goldmann’s label, Macro was founded by in 2007 and has released some legendary records from equally incredible artists. Its releases range from techno tracks to symphonic recordings. It has also been home to releases from artists such as KiNK, Maria Chavez, Peter Kruder, Pete Namlook, Raudive, Santiago Salazar and remixes by Pépé Bradock, Ricardo Villalobos and The Knife’s Oni Ayhun.

A series of three 7″ on records on Macro, sees Stefan Goldmann probing the upper temporal reaches of techno. Clocking in at 150 bpm, these tracks are bold and blazing signals for a collective return to highly energised club experiences. More bouncy than harsh, these tracks show impressively how different tempos allow for their own variety of joyful expression.

Toady we premiere the track ‘Geared’ which finishes out the 6 track release with raw voltage and sparks flying. The blistering yet functional techno bomb is driven by well crafted analogue tool. Bleep heaven at 150bpm, sounds good to me.

Alluvium is the third in German experimental producer Stefan Goldmann’s series of albums exploring the "first principles" research of metric asymmetry. Exploring new structural paths for machine rhythm in irregular metres, the album seems non-binary patterns running simultaneously, moving in and out of interlocking focus, across twelve offerings of “jagged polyrhythmic magic”. With Veiki (2019) and Vector Rituals (2022) already gaining him a growing fan base for his unexpectedly constructed but melodically lush compositions, Alluvium is sure to be well received by those with an ear for the previously undiscovered terrains of leftfield electronics.

“There's nothing 'jazz' about it, really,” says Stefan Goldmann, Macro Records boss and remixer on this 12”,  “Just raw energy, something like the album Jimi Hendrix would have possibly recorded if he had lived another year.”  Goldmann first heard ‘Marbles’ – from the legendary jazz guitarist and trusted right hand man of Miles Davis - when he was a teenager and it’s remained a personal favourite ever since.  This gorgeous piece of vinyl connects the 1970 original, an almost proto-techno swampy stomp wreathed in psychedelic keys and interstellar solos, with Goldmann’s own exceptional remix on the flip.  It’s quite a listen, as Goldmann homes in on the original’s bassline and its parallels with Giorgio Moroder’s trademark disco juddering a few years, turning it into an irresistible techno session complete with cascading electronic drums, Buddhist bells and, of course, a McLaughlin riff churning over and over.  We love music that joins the dots between genres and this does it in effortless, ludicrously danceable style.  ‘Marbles’?  You’ll lose yours when you hear this.

Strictly Deep Music still one of the most freshest labels of 2016. Have previously had some very strong releases from artists such as Tommy Vercetti, Cerillo, Cera Alba & A-Lister. With their clubshows based mainly within Dublin, Ireland, they're evidently leading the way in the house sound.

Their next release will showcase a collection of Irish based artists with a variety of different sounds. The one we present to yous today as an exclusive listen is Paul Hosey's feel good piece 'Chords of Chicago'.

A jackin' oriented sound brought together with a selection of chords gives a strong indication of the standard the rest of the tracks hold on the compilation.
