Towards Techno

After his surpise summerhit 2013 'Finder', Ninetoes started touring the world, did some remixes and moved from Stuttgart to Berlin where he found the right inspiration for his next single 'Escape'. Just have a listen, a great bassline can make wonders so this looks like another big track coming your way. Thanks to Tiger Stripes and Jesse Rose3 & Playmode for providing exceptional remixes for our shooting star.

Ninetoes - Escape (Original)

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

Mind Against - Strange Days
LAD019

At the cusp of the present and a not so distant future we stand in an incongruous space of sensory overload — where tomorrow’s big new high is just a small technological leap away. A dystopian landscape inspired by a bygone portrait of days to come.
Once again Mind Against bring their signature sound to Life and Death as they explore territory that is somehow both familiar and fresh at the same time. With two tracks of emotional techno that traverse a dynamic sonic landscape, both Strange Days and Polarstern could easily captivate a small room or command a small army with ease.
Bringing an understated counterpoint to the EP is Recondite’s subtle yet rich sounding take on Strange Days as he reworks it into a soft and sexy trip that seems to take you on a journey outwards and inwards — all while standing still in that place where words have no meaning. A well crafted remix of the highest caliber...

O New Pedro Aguiar single out This Monday on Darkroom Dubs. Available from the Darkroom Dubs Shop & All digital stores. www.darkroomdubs.com/shop

Lisbon native Pedro Aguiar has been impressing with his timeless compositions that resonate all over the globe for with their technical quality and indisputable originality.

Initially Pedro caught the attention of label heads Silicone Soul, with the sublime deepness of of his Broque single, 'Breakfast in Bali'. A track that became a massive favourite throughout the long hot summer of 2012. Fast forward to 2015 and his much anticipated debut album 'Landscapes & Heartbreaks' is primed and ready for release on Darkroom Dubs. (Out 25th May).

The record showcases Pedro's rich musical pallet for organic textural synthesis and granular wizardry. It's also remarkably the first vinyl LP release for Darkroom Dubs label. Always a challenging format, Landscapes & Heartbreaks is an electronic album in the true sense.
To wet the appetite and as a precursor to the long-player, we present a more club-orientated four track EP 'Land Of The Lost'...

Globetrotting DJ and producer Seth Troxler is well and truly back on the beats. Having recently released his first track in years, Evangelion, on Guy Gerber's Rumors imprint, he makes his debut solo on his very own Tuskegee. Launching the label with The Martinez Brothers a year ago, CZ kicks off the fourth release for the label with atmospherics that make way for deep funk grooves that slowly build into a twisted, acid dancefloor stomper. Backed by the rolling Junkyard Tool, Seth's Just Back EP is out on vinyl from 27th April on and digitally from 18th May.

When i was around 6 my favorite show in Germany was Sesamstrasse. It was a German adaptation of the American Sesame Street. I was really crazy about the show, and I used to always watch it at my Grandparents in Germany.

The intro song was very dear to me. The lyrics went Der Die Das, Wie Weshalb Warum. Which ruffly translates to He She It, How, For what reason, Why.

The intro song spawned this Childish Curiosity in me. I had to explore everything around me. I would bang on lids in the kitchen to hear what they sounded like.

It was this song that made we want to make sounds with different objects, and experiment with early rythms. From this moment on i was engulfed in anything that made a sound.

After years apart, we've finally got the boys back on our screens later this month. What better way to celebrate than by marking another return, to the label of their post-breakout "Stash" victory lap. Aus, Belfast and Boiler Room: there's no place like home.

"Just" wastes no time locking the brisk rhythm into place before a wriggling earworm of a lead pans across the channels. Atmospheric swells are pieced by gatling-gun snares; the tension builds but never releases, making this a surefire precursor to the bulk of heavyweight set climaxes you're likely to hear this summer. As ever, the aural equivalent of 20,000 bicep emojis.

Grip the wax May 25th.

Back onboard the Crosstown Rebels mothership with some serious dancefloor business, Venezuelan duo Fur Coat deliver three of their most accomplished tracks to date with the ‘Berlin Chronicles EP’.

This three track of dancefloor dynamite features the momentous ‘Pankow’ on the A Side, a fitting techno tribute to the borough of Berlin. On the flip and we ascend into the heavens with the inspiring ‘Banhof” and finally we follow up with the magnificent ‘Seven’.

Hard working and passionate, Fur Coat have had a string of successful releases since they first came onto the scene on the likes of Hot Creations, Bpitch Control and of course Crosstown Rebels. Unearthed and championed by original Rebel Damian Lazarus, the duo released their impressive debut album ‘Mind Over Matter’ on the label in 2012.

Since the album dropped, the pair has been called upon to rework legends such as Timo Maas & Robert Owens as well as hot newcomers Kidnap Kid & Joy Wellboy. Remixes are also forthcoming for Stephan Bodzin on Systematic and Ruede Hagelstein on Watergate.

Last year saw the talented duo appear at No.66 in RA’s Top 100 DJs chart and 2015 is set to be another big year with an upcoming Balance compilation, alongside a massive worldwide tour and some very special projects that are yet to be revealed.

Fur Coat - Banhof

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

Same Mistake Twice EP

Hiver - Tangerine (Beat Version) *free download*

Back in May, we Debuted a track called "Just"; you might just have heard of it. @feelmybicep are no strangers to breakout belters, but even by their standards this one has been picking up a heap of plaudits. So naturally we're more than willing to help facilitate their next step toward world domination, especially given as it arrives via their own cherished namesake imprint.

This, the title track from another forthcoming collaborative release with Hammer (an artist the Belfast boys are putting serious muscle behind) is equally tense and beguiling. It hooks you in from the word go, with a nagging piano lead, ooft-y mini breakdown and shiver-inducing sirensong calling through the mist. Close your eyes and you can imagine "Dahlia" laying waste to festival stages – oh wait, that actually did actually happen at Bicep's homecoming BR. Go figure.

You can physically feel FMB005 from September 7th.
