Sci-Fi Lo-Fi

Queue pt 4

Some folks is house. Some folks is techno. Some folks likes it funky and some folks likes it disco.

Though when you get right on down to it, setting your divisional style borders aside, 4/4 rhythms are always united in their absolute sense of groove - that feeling so fresh as funk you can't help but descend into the step by step roll of repetitive beat business. So here - in the Four to the Floor Rhythm Selecta - we collate all things house, techno, disco, electro and beyond for the benefit of your explorative listening.

Get down with the groove

Bite the Belt Presents | Four to the Floor Rhythm Selecta: House, Techno, Disco, Electro

FUSE002 is a debut album by Computer Graphics @computergraphics - an alias of Alexey Devyanin (Pixelord @pixelord, Gultskra Artikler). Here we got an original 7-tracker, representing what is contemporary 4/4 music from Alexey's point of view. A collection of straight beats mixed with quirky synthetic percussions, vintage layers and some kind of firm rusty past atmosphere, though still positive and a sort of young. 

The whole thing is supplemented with a plenty of remixes from our comrades all over - UK's Moiré @moirelines, known for his Werk Discs and R&S appears, Opal Tapes' insider and Farbwechsel master S Olbricht @s_olbricht along with his friend's A i w A @a_i_w_a from Budapest, and our Russian in-label mates Yayati @yayati and Rad Machine @radmachine. 

We got 3 versions of this release - a vinyl one containing all 7 originals plus two remixes by Moiré and S Olbricht, a 60-min cassette tape with all the tunes presented, and a digital edition of the whole thing with an exclusive "Long Version"of the track "WTF".

The cover was kindly provided by professor Bruce Randall Donald, made by himself in 1981 during the period of his work at the Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis in the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University in early 80s. So this cover artwork is a true piece of early computer graphics. More on this great man and his work at www.cs.duke.edu/brd

A1 - youAND:THEMACHINES: "Entrance Room" (Freund der Familie Remix)

Translation Recordings returns to vinyl with a pair remixes from two scene veterans, selected to provide a fresh perspective on the digital catalogue.  Up first, Seba applies his signature style to Furi Anga's 'When Our World Jaded,' where twinkling hi-hats and dreamy pads drift into meticulously chopped breaks, spliced drum edits, and warm bass tones with enough low-end to rattle your chest.  As the track progresses, a filtered reese surges in and out of the arrangement for added bite.  On the flip, Survival revisits Slider &amp; Expose's jazzy 'Hooked' and rolls out a soulful remix with heavy, shuffling drums, deep sub treatment, and a techno midrange that complements the track's more subtle melodic elements to deliver a refreshing and energetic tune for the summer.

Strictly vinyl label from Berlin Dreiklang Records release their first record from three producers with “contrasting takes on the same source material, juxtaposing and unifying three particular electronic music sub-currents.” The original tech-house track “First Contact” by London’s producer OCH is re-interpreted into dub-techno wave by the Italian producer Hydergine and reaches the cinematic drone stage through the duo Kelovolt.

The release is coming up in the middle of January on a beautiful vinyl with hand-drawn designs on sleeves by Nils Altland. 

Premiere: OCH - "First Contact" (Hydergine Remix)

Frits Wentink has repeatedly showcased his desire to go against the grain through the left-field electronic music explored in his full-length Rarely Pure, Never Simple album and an almighty eleven EPs. Frits now returns to Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings – after a two-year hiatus from the label as well as last year's launch of his own imprint, Bobby Donny – with his twelfth single and Heist's fourteenth catalogue number, Rising Sun, Falling Coconut.

On this new venture, Frits brings four totally original and moreish takes on electronic music as we know it. The title track lies in penultimate place on the release takes top place for us. Pitch-bent laziness and purple tinged synth countermelodies sets the laid back tone, with the skippety hi-hat occasionally making timely appearances every so often to keep the loose-natured track chugging along nicely. Another signature, dusty groove from the name that's also behind techno outpost, Will & Ink. As the label put it themselves – the release is basically a case of "classic Heist, classic Frits."

Keep an eye out for Rising Sun, Falling Coconut dropping on vinyl and digitally on 25th January, as well as news of Fritz' project with some legendary and likeminded producers in the pipeline. All coming soon.

First mix at Trushmix this year is by DJ Suhaid straight outta Budapest, Hungary.
We are happy he could make a mix for us, and showing some real deal selection skills.
DJ Suhaid kicks of this new year with an eclectic Deejay selectors session. Almost two hours of obscure, well picked rarities from far and close, east meets west, slow meets fast.
Old 7" from former eastern Europe, russian obscurities, turkish funk and disco, UK style beats, and house life rhythms, old and new, you name it and get it. Hope this mix keeps your ears open and your mind tuned into the unknown. Music has no boundaries. So keep it real. This mix definitely does, a perfect start for this new year!

On a special request from DJ Suhaid we post a track list for this mix. Something for the diggers out there. Enjoy!

Get A Splash (Salz Dub-O-Lution Remix)

"Subject of a far-reaching and well received remix contest on Soundcloud, this track from deep future garage producer Ghostek has so many different levels to it we fully expected to meet a big boss at the end.

The single itself comes in two parts, slyly different imaginings of the same theme. Part 1 builds the pace steadily with plenty of interest as the kick thumps along under the myriad textures and atmospheres. Part 2 becomes more crisp and more weird, with the introduction of a crunching snare plus some freaky distorted speech. Sangam drops in with an ambient remix followed by increasingly percussive variations by Myztical, SMAUG, Stranger, and Kalli."

Project: Mooncircle & Finest Ego have teamed up to establish a fresh new 12” producer series, entitled “Faces”. On every edition, you will find two different producers. Respectively, each producer will have their own record-side and unique cover artwork by the aspiring Bioniq, known for his surrealistic portraits, blending humans and technology.

On our fourth “Faces” edition we are featuring the two ascending artists @Lomovolokno and @Sieren, presumably the two most unknown so far. Originally hailing from Krasnodar, Russia and Bielefeld, Germany, one was inspired by naive childhood memories of imaginative creatures seen floating in the nighttime sky, while the other looks into an uncertain future that holds the anxiety of a fresh start but also the ever present risk of failure. The artwork takes these motifs and implements them in a vision of technological enhancements of human capacities and evolvement, forming a futuristic symbiosis that enables for synaesthetic senses heightened to an subatomic degree. But it is unsure, however, if these augmentations can actually expand our human experience or rather amplify our solitary existence and emotional void while traveling across fantastic worlds and the universal vacuum filling the space between.

Krasnodar, Russia: In the midst of grey soviet housing projects, a young boy enjoys playing and improvising his first little melodies on his parents piano. Always being inspired by the nature nearby the city - memories of peaceful springtime swimming sessions in the Black Sea come to mind – Lomovolokno grows up fascinated by machinery like samplers and the rapidly increasing possibilities of modern computers. Delving deeply into twisting melodies, building sounds and crossing notes leads his way to first field recordings resulting in an influx of elements ranging from waves of the sea, the wind, sand, crackling noises, banging and rustling becoming a part of his sound.

Sieren is the maiden name of Matthias Frick’s mother and also his current alias under which he started to release his first free tracks in 2011. Rumor has it that he has a dark secret history of producing experimental techno, albeit his love for UK influenced bass music existed for more than one handful of years. It was not until recently that he began to make the most of his love for field recording and experimental soundscaping and is now throwing his full force into music, while simultaneously finishing a university degree in computer science and design before moving from small town to métropole to follow a new set of challenges and advance to the next stage of his life.

Bioniq is an artwork designer, DJ and producer from St. Petersburg in cold Russia and Project: Mooncircle's special KGB agent. With his drawings he aims to create new horizons on paper and draws inspiration from historic tales, events of the present age but also possibilities the future might hold.

Limited 12” vinyl for serious collectors, DJ’s and record addicts only!

Mastered by Sven Friederichs. A&R: Gordon Gieseking & Malte Tarnow. Artwork by Bioniq.

"Elution" is like a sleeping day that awakes slowly, by the hour, in small steps it pulls itself up but  then… folds up as if there had never been the promise of a new day.
