Recondite
Caldera
HFT035

Recondite marks his return to Hotflush with the epic, potentially summer-defining 'Caldera' and a sequel to his 2012 hit 'DRGN'. The Bavarian artist has undergone a dazzling rise since that time, and one which is reflected in the increasing opulence of his music.

'Caldera', with its dramatic arpeggios and crescendos, is unabashed big-field decadence. Bearing all the hallmarks on which he's made his name - space, subtlety, build, attention to timbre - over the course of 9 minutes it raises the temperature to white heat. 'DRGN 2' picks up exactly where its 2012 namesake left off; that is, with an arching melody played out over droning tones of insidious intent. Dark, imposing and elegant - this is Recondite at his most wicked.

Available on Beatport and on 12" from September 1st 2014

Recondite - Caldera EP (HFT035 Preview)

Modern underground musical behemoth No.19 Music now turns to its expert roster of house and techno talents for a Spring Sampler that is bursting at the seams with ready made, floor filling dynamite. All the crew old and new feature including Guti, Nitin, Hector, Clayton Steele, Maher Daniel, Eric Volta, Art Department’s Kenny Glasgow and many more.
In recent times the label run by Canadian DJ and producer and one half of Art Department, Jonny White, has become one of the most charted, played and influential in the global house scene. Whether releasing definitive albums and compilations from Art Department, hot EPs from mainstays like Louie Fresco and Eric Volta or high profile remixes from the likes of Kerri Chandler, Frankie Knuckles or Fred P this label really is at the sharp end of the scene.
As has been the label’s habit in recent years, No.19 look to the coming WMC Miami event with another sterling collection of original tracks. Label co-boss Nitin kicks things off with the brilliantly emotive and melodically lush house grooves of ‘I See’. Crosstown Rebels regular and piano whizz Guti then gets all bumpy with his dusty, hip- hop influenced beats on the jazzed up ‘Ruski’. Then comes a another core member of the No.19 family, Canadian and All Day I Dream regular Maher Daniel. His track is a prickly, spaced-out tech roller with tons of atmosphere that is sure to captivating hearts and minds on dance floors everywhere.
Close label friend and synth genius Eric Volta then pairs off with Brohn for ‘Lines of Entropy’, a sensuously slow burning and cinematic cut that places all its focus on dazzling melodic lines and slick beats. The legend that is Kenny Glasgow then gets up to some jacking, wobbly and off kilter house business on ‘Be Strong’, which has plenty of percussive energy and serene pad work. Mexico’s top producer, who released his debut LP on No.19 last year, Louie Fresco once again shows his skills on the heady, hypnotic techno workout that is ‘Anonymity’. Desolat’s connoisseur craftsman Hector then seduces listens with his deep, warm and engaging house track ‘High Times’ and rising talent Jonathan Lee offers some perfectly syncopated house kicks and nervy synth patterns on ‘Loyal Suns.’
Silky & Dadon’s ‘Move’ is a rubbery & techy house affair that really comes alive with Cari Golden’s whispered but emphatic vocal delivery, Moreon & Baffa offer expertly thumping and dubbed out house that is on the verge of being techno with ‘Mare De Due’ and finally Clayton Steele’s ‘Action’ is a perfectly spaced out and spacious number with sci-fi influences, occult 80s vocals and tons of great effects.
Once again this fantastic new Spring Sampler shows that No.19 Music continues to evolve, unearth new names and remain way ahead of the curve. Filled with inventive sounds miles away from the norm, this release is a mouthwatering prospect for both DJs and dancers alike.

my take on Dombreskys's In My Room MOX-E REMIX

Dombresky-In My Room (MOX-E REMIX)  Free DL

When I came across this Shirley Chisholm quote through a friend, I knew that I needed to share her message.
It was relevant back in 1972, I was relevant in 2022, and it sure as hell is relevant in 2025.

DaGeneral - Feel My Obsession [GS038]

Hot of the press DaGeneral is back again with another solo track release.  We werenâ€™t sure when we could expect another track from him as he has been busy as of late working on a multitude of things.
However, out of nowhere comes this little number.

Feel My Obsession is a nice little tech-house chugger with some nice grooves, which had us rocking along with his nice use of the vocal and feel good synths chipping in.  We didnâ€™t expect this style of music from the maestro! Clearly spending time with Blue Amazon is rubbing off into his production.

First on remix duties this time around is Ian Dillon, we have been loving his stuff as of late, and are more than happy to have him on board on the remix.  This is a sure fire hit in typical obsession style, we can see this being a radio and club hit for months to come. 

As always of course there is always going to be some Techno involved on General Surgery Records. And who else would you like to hear at the moment apart from Simone De Biasio!  In his true techno sound Simone does wonders on the techno remix, we expect to hear a lot of support for this track.

And last but not least on the remix duties is new kid on the block Elastic Funk with his minimal tech  with a feel of tech-house repaint of the original.  This once again we loved.

As always we cater for different tastes, so would like to hear what you think of the release.

GS038 : DaGeneral - Feel My Obsession (Elastic Funk Remix)

SCI+TEC release number four for Italian sensation Alex Mine as he returns to the flock with the impressive ‘Special Needs’ EP. Having kicked off 2016 with releases for Elevate and Phobiq, Alex looks to maintain and increase the momentum with this latest four track collection.

We’re plugged in and switched on as opener ‘Seconds’ sparks into life with its abrasive snares and relentless rises. Then we're plunged into the bubbling liquid sounds of ‘Just One Slot’, before a surprisingly soothing and deep house mood takes control on the title track. A final florish from Alex comes in the form of throbbing techno cut ‘Plug In Out’. We’re most definitely IN!

Loco & Jam have quickly climbed the ranks of the global techno scene, proving with release after release that they’re hard-hitting and twisted production style is a force to be reckoned with.  Frankyeffe’s productions are razor sharp and filled with creative motifs that make him a standout of Italian techno.  So what happens when they get in the studio together?  The aptly named Splitting Minds EP.

Both tracks thump with the relentless rhythms these guys have been known for creating, but they employ a fair amount of distinctly musical material, maybe more than you’d expect.  Gigantic synth swells and melodic, arpy builds interspersed between battering breakdowns put this release squarely between techno and progressive, creating an intense synthesis.  Don’t call it uplifting, Splitting Minds is dark and twisted to be sure, but one will find beauty in the madness.

After taking the roof off 2 Misfit club events now, it seemed right for the Leeds based duo to showcase their slick Techno productions on the club's new record label. 
Paul Maddox & Rich Wakley's studio output as Spektre has continued to propel them to the upper echelons of the Techno world recently with releases on Drumcode, Tronic, Kraftek and Elevate, to name but a few. 
Lead track Gas Mask is a heavy duty slice of peak time Techno. Building atmospherics and precise percussion underpin the track while huge synth stabs and vocals samples build to create serious dancefloor destruction.
For remix duties, Misfit have drafted in Northern Irish Techno titans Loco & Jam. Their take retains all the peak time vibes of the original, but highlights their deeper, groovier style of Techno.
Completing the release is the dark and moody 'Decompression'. Stripped back to the bare essentials and as underground as it gets, the track is pounding and relentless in it's mission!
Yet another high class release from montel & Steve Boyd's new imprint!

Spektre - Gas Mask (Loco & Jam Remix)

Three strikes deep so far; Gregor Tresher ignites the GTO machine for another unique two-track techno excursion that digs deep into his past while staring defiantly at the future. 
First, the future: A place totally accessible with ‘Substance’ as it surges triumphantly into the unknown with a continuous cycle of new elements layering up over the laid back groove yet-relentless modulating pattern. Suddenly Gregor’s signature pads hit home and the future has landed.
For a taste of the past, check ‘Inhale’: A bass-heavy electro breakbeat that nods back to Gregor’s rich electroid history as Sniper Mode who released a body of work on Elektrolux, Mikrolux and Electrix during the early 2000s. Slinky-yet-sci-fi, spaced yet dense, this one will have you creeping right back to the source. 
Back to the present: Flug and Xavier Dokser’s Atoll build on the momentum they’ve developed on Inctacto with a breath-taking alternate take on ‘Inhale’. Pounding into tomorrow with raw drive and determined peak time darkness, it’s devilishly direct… Just as all GTO releases have been so far. Don’t sleep.

Gero Jansen is a German artist making his return to Intec following previously featured as a remix artist on Harvey McKays release on the label in 2018. Now back with a solo two track EP of dark and thumping techno, he has also featured on other imprints such as BluFin and Cristian Varelas Pornographic Recordings.

Having made music since the young age of seven years old, he has graduated from playing instruments in bands, to composing techno tracks in a dark and pounding style that he has made his trademark. Having been into electronic music since the '90s, Gero Jansen has already proven himself as a DJ in his home city of Karlsruhe and its surrounding areas.

This release is testament to Carl and Jon's devotion of discovering and championing fresh talent, many of whom in years to come will no doubt become future stars themselves.

The title cut Changing opens the EP and uses a vocal sample hook of a phoenix changing. Its stabbing chords combined with a rumbling bassline and tense strings give it a ferocious sound hammered home by the hard hitting kick drum.

Track two Hypnotic and as its name suggests the groove is hypnotising with a flickering lead sound and fast flowing percussive rhythms. Dark atmospherics add to the building intensity as the tracks momentum builds with an energy perfect for peak time plays.
