We premiere Scottish electronic music royalty, Vince Watson. The now Netherlands based artist returns for his incredible 13th album, which is no mean feat for any musician.

Vince has had a massive year with releases on Get Physical, Tronic, SushiTech, All Day I Dream, his own Everysoul Audio and a host of remixes. 

Vince ends 2021 by presenting his label’s biggest and most adventurous release to date, ‘DnA [re]Sequenced’. This is also accompanied by the [re]Sequenced Sampler which features 3 brand new mixes from the DnA album by Vince himself. The album also features some of electronic music titans including Carl Craig, Claude Young, Jon Dixon, Steve Rachmad, John Beltran, Shawn Rudiman, Stephen Lopkina and Stephen Brown.

After the massive response to Watson’s ‘DnA’ album in 2019, Vince had wanted to carve a different spin on the LP by having some of the tracks remixed by his favourite Detroit ‘flavoured’ artists from the three places that have influenced his music: Scotland, Amsterdam, Detroit. 

We premiere his track ‘First Wave [808 Mix]’. The track is reminiscent of some classic Galaxy 2 Galaxy records from Underground Resistance. A punchy but still funky 808 drum workout locks in the groove while angelic style synth work transcends you to space. Warm and fluffy pads simmer through the track while a powerful baseline runs through your body, the heavenly lead bounces around the track with an entrancing melody. The track is powerful, euphoric and tranquil all at the one time. 

This is proper electronic music.

Four Four Premiere: Vince Watson - First Wave [808 Mix]

Artist - @luciddistraction
Imprint - @nativeboundaries
Release - Hood Antics

Lucid Distraction has long developed a passion for electronic music originating from the UK, Chicago, Detroit, and Berlin. He has developed an ear for soulful yet dynamic sonics, ever evolving, but still staying true to its roots. Far from the traditional, his style can be characterised as a progressive take on the electro, jungle, juke, and ghetto tech genres incorporating driving 808’s, acidic bass lines, dubby synths, and breaky drums. 

'Hood Antics' is a breakbeat grover from LA based founder and label owner Lucid Distraction. He makes his Native release debut with a tripped out vocal, ghetto tech influence, mesmerising pads and booming 808's.

PREMIERE - Lucid Distraction 'Hood Antics' [Native Boundaries]

The bicyle travelled quickly upon the tarmac as it descended the mountain at great pace, she could feel the wind in her hair and the breeze was soft and warm against her face. The grass whizzed by on either side of the road as the occasional car passed by with the dull hum of an engine struggling against the steep slope. In the distance she could see the waves of the ocean rolling in against the shore - this was where she was headed and the winding path would take her right there. The beach, to the Aqnoziu. 

Caffeine is set to release a new EP on Third Try Records. Just a hint - it's great. It is accompanied by some remixes by Roza Terenzi (lady of the moment) and SFV Acid.

Premiere: DJ Ungel – Transpirits [Mirror Zone]

There was a strange, mysterious object which floated in the dense night sky. It flashed an electric green, illuminous and weird amidst a backdrop of delicate stars. It left a lot to the imagination - what was inside? Who was in flight? Were these creatures from the great beyond? It had been a long time since they'd last seen a UFO around these parts, not since the hot and heavy summer nights of the sixties. Then again, who knew what they'd seen way back then in the days of old. It was but a blur to him, a psychedelic haven of rage and madness.

A little while back we featured a mix from the ever playful musician and producer Your Planet Is Next. A Scandinavian superhero of sorts who has come to save the day from snobby enthusiasts and those who take life too seriously. He appears on a new split EP for Warning Records with a track called "UFO".

Visible Spectrum is the newly launched creative playground of Yuri Boselie, also known as Cinnaman. Since donning the Cinnaman alias nearly two decades ago, he’s become a well known figure of the Amsterdam nightlife scene with long running residencies at the city's most lauded clubbing institutions like Club 11, Trouw and most recently De School. Next to his DJ sets, he's made early moves in label curation with A&R work for Rush Hour and Kindred Spirits offshoot Nod Navigators, and with his own Beat Dimensions compilations in the late 00s. With Visible Spectrum — defined as the electromagnetic frequencies visible by the human eye — a new chapter is born. It is an outlet for electronic music in the widest sense. Each sleeve will have its own unique screen printed artwork by Marilyn Sonneveld.

The first EP comes from Mor Elian, the Berlin based artist and owner of the Fever AM label. Here she offers the loose and hypnotic rhythms of 'Clairvoyant Frog' which is deep and atmospheric, like some sort of primordial techno soup. 'Shoshana's Roses' then picks up the pace with layers of rumbling drums, wooden hits and snaking synths taking you into a steamy, humid jungle before closer 'Planet Kismet' is a much quicker and more urgent bit of enchanting break-beat techno with pummeling minimal drums and warped synths and perc getting you under their sci-fi spell. A fascinating first outing that sets a high standard from the off.

B1. King Tide

Creativity for a musician as an artist is endless suffering, through which he frees himself for new suffering. He is not feeling giant, but only a motley bird, locked in a cage of his own existence and he refreshes himself only when he finds that unique sound but only for a short time, since his consciousness, his whole being demands, calls him to a new search for that champion sound.
Vernacular Records announce the third opus of the Vernacular Foreigners' series. This compilation, thought as a journey punctuated by 9 stories, regroups artists from all over the french electronic scene, from St Étienne to Toulouse, through Paris, Lyon or Dijon, with a little exception from Ukrainia.
