PREMIERE : Seb Wildblood - Swimmers [CHURCH]

Artist: Relock & DetroitSoul
Title: Rolling 
Label: Alphahouse
Release Date : January 11, 2016
Cat No : ALPHA037

Alphahouse is back early 2016 with Relock & Detroitsoul’s ‘Rolling’ EP, featuring seven original compositions from the Italian trio.

Matteo Volpato, Marco Pavan and Pierpaolo Zottarel aka Relock & Detroitsoul are a group of Italian artists coming out Treviso in the Northern region of their country. Relock has been releasing his material via the likes of Little Helpers, Baile, Serkal and of course Alphahouse since 2014, while Detroitsoul have been steadily carving out a name for themselves with shows in their hometown and Venice, and marking their debut release earlier this year via Share Records.

Across the ‘Rolling’ EP the Italian trio deliver a run of seven sequentially numbered compositions, showcasing a mature, coherent, dub-infused percussive techno style. ‘RD1’ kicks things off and lays the foundations with swirling stab sequences, snaking bass licks and raw rhythms, while ‘RD2’ goes deeper, stripping the drums back and laying the focus on a swelling ethereal atmosphere and teasing minor keyed melody.

‘RD3’ and ‘RD5’ follow symmetrical paths with expansive and cavernous background atmospherics around up-front drums and big room techno sensibilities, while ‘RD4’ pulls back a bit and brings a hypnotic, gritty arpeggio synth hook into the limelight which subtly blooms across its seven and a half minutes.

Rounding out the package ‘RD6’ and ‘RD7’ bring tasteful acid to the mix via squelching 303 hooks running alongside soft, floaty pad billows while keeping the running theme of a powerful rhythmic structure below. Warehouse techno done right.

Relock & Detroitsoul’s ‘Rolling’ EP is out on Alphahouse 11th January 2016.

Having recently played an eight hour set to a sold-out crowd at London’s Oval Space, the prolific Dusky drop a trio of moody club tool tracks on 17 Steps as they continue their European Autumn/Winter tour.

A club tool in the most effective sense, lead track ’Lydia’ is dark, nagging acid groover that builds and builds throughout its 6 hypnotic minutes. With all the melodic material based around the Lydian scale, ‘Lydia’ was originally inspired by a bizarre, trippy dream Alfie had in which everything was all based on the Lydian scale.

A homage to classic techno, ‘Bitter Lake’ is a hard-hitting surge of looping, percussive energy and Detroit-nodding rave stabs that build to a hoover-fuelled breakdown release.

Rounding off the trio, the brilliantly titled and uniquely composed ‘Infinite Libido’ again explores Dusky’s more percussive tendencies and has been a regular feature in their DJ sets for the past year.

Synth wizard und Disco don Massimiliano Pagliara is the latest addition to Uncanny Valley’s roster. And if you’re familiar with the Italian’s soundscapes you probably think this is good news. And yes, you’re right.

From the first bass drum it is clear that “Connection Lost” pulls out all the stops. There is an urgency in its drumming and synth work that shouts “dance floor anthem” right from the get-go. “I Am Running All My Drum Machines At Once And Dancing” plays out like a percussive orgasm triggering pretty much all the drum sounds you could imagine.

On the sleazy Disco affair that is “Don't Give Up On Love” Massimiliano gets vocal support from Sigrid Elliott. This is a oh-so-sexy alliance that would have shined bright even in the heydays of Boogie. Finally, “I Enjoy Myself While I Am Here” shows off once again that when Massimiliano Pagliara is at the keys he creates glorious vibes like nobody else.

The artwork was created by Alexander Dorn aka Credit 00 who also helped to establish the connection after contributing to Massimiliano’s album “With One Another”.

Massimiliano Pagliara - Connection Lost (Snippet)

Just 22 years young, the German procurer of beats Kolja Gerstenberg has a well versed affinity to the glory days of funk, soul, disco, jazz and rock, which far precede his birth. His own productions bring the sonic marriage of these golden-time influences and electronic music – it having resided in Kolja's blood and tradition, with his dad being the former Afrotrance percussionist that released on the likes of R&S and Harthouse.

Kolja's forthcoming Sand EP has been blessed with a remix of its title track, by none other than the exalted Move D. In fact, it's the first remix he's done after a two year long hiatus! And it – of course – lives up to the hype. Carrying with it much of Kolja's original in its essence, Mr. Moufang spins his own take on "Sand" by stripping elements down and rebuilding the track – all alongside the distinctive, pitched-down sample that keeps in tune with the original's retrospective swing. Instant good feels.

Catch Kolja Gerstenberg's Sand EP, dropping on Smile for a While on 11 January 2016.
