Dark Minimal Tech House - Welcome to the Darkside

Ganesa Feat. M.Caballero (Extended mix)

After so many years I finally got my feet on the cold sand of playa and ran to this bus I’ve been hearing about for so long. My first night and my first show. Never to be forgotten. My expectations ended up being meaningless because I was living the unimaginable. This special moment deserved my very best, so a set full of my own unreleased originals is what I played! and off to what will always be remembered as one of the most incredible experiences of my life: My first burn! Thank you Robot Heart for the opportunity, the love and the support. Hope you enjoy!

A crystal like cluster of Lighthouses ranging from 6 to 60 foot tall and some leaning as much as 20 degrees. Inspired by the juxtaposition of creating a destination of fun and shelter by something that is meant to warn you of danger. This adult jungle gym aims to become a destination where participants come to seek shelter, play, meetup with friends and navigate the inland sea that is the Playa. At night the Lighthouses will truly come alive with fire, light, and a few other surprises.

V/A - Freaky Friends Volume 1
(incl. P.Leone, Nasty King Kurl, Sentient State, Ole Mic Odd, Dj Swagger, Main Phase)
PRE-ORDER LINK: https://www.unearthedsounds.co.uk/products/various-artists-freaky-friends-volume-1
Release date: 5th June 2020
Label: Nerang Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/nerangrecordings)
https://soundcloud.com/sentient_state

Nerang Recordings returns with ‘Freaky Friends Volume 1’ featuring the likes of P.Leone, Nasty King Kurl, Sentient State, Ole Mic Odd, Dj Swagger, and Main Phase.

The Berlin-based label has been going strong since its founder - Australian DJ and producer Dj Whipr Snipr - launched it in 2016, with recent genre-spanning releases traversing acid, house, breaks, and electro from artists such as DJ Bowlcut, Low Tape, Soela, Subjoi, Interplanetary Criminal, J.Albert, DJ Safeword, Anthony Fade, and many more. Nerang now invites six quality artists for its most ambitious release yet to inaugurate the imprint’s ‘Freaky Friends’ series.

E-Missions founder and Rekids regular P.Leone leads the way with a thudding breaks number called ‘Parting Currents’. A rumbling bassline is later joined by lush pads and a hammering piano melody destined to rocket listeners into new heights. Following appearances on 777 Recordings and Low Income Squad, Nasty King Kurl is next with a raw sounding ‘Lawless’ - a syncopated cut that blends acid and electro with Memphis rap and R&B.
In fine form off the back of releasing on Hilltown Disco and 99cts RCRDS, Nerang veteran Ole Mic Odd brings a sweaty Ghetto House stomper named ‘Hydro Anthem’ complete with a gritty acid bassline and Pointdexter-esque chopped vocals, making way for Sentient State’s ‘4 Tha Freaks’ which exhibits the New York-based artist’s softer side as he layers lush pads on top of a stripped back electro rhythm for pure euphoria.

With releases on Natural Sciences, Who’s Susan and E-Beamz, Germany-based producer Dj Swagger ups the energy, clocking in with the compilation’s fastest track in a bouncing Chicago House inspired cut entitled ‘The Phone Talky’. Tying it all together, Warehouse Raves and ec2a artist Main Phase’s ‘Get Higher’ is a punchy UK garage track complete with thudding 909 kicks, purring bass, fluttering vocals and rave stabs.

Label : Too Rough 4 Radio (https://soundcloud.com/toorough4radio)
https://soundcloud.com/gusman1987

Landscapes of dystopian worlds, both emotive and driving, unveil new forms of life here as Nightdrive’s “Miracles” LP travels through the far east regions of house and techno with this 10-track release. As this marks “Rough Cuts 02” for Too Rough 4 Radio, “Miracles” is as much a transcendent force of ethereal tunes as it is effective for any dancefloor. What you’ll uncover across this release from this St. Petersburg based producer is a traversing blend through IDM, Deep House, DnB, and Techno through the lens of lush, atmospheric soundscapes.

buy there : https://wherewerewe.bandcamp.com/album/plastik-tanzen-ep-remix-pack-wwwep002

Here comes the remix package for https://soundcloud.com/loweakauser ’s Plastik Tanzen EP which came out at the beginning of this summer on Vilnius’ freshly baked label https://soundcloud.com/where-were-we . Sadly, stems and original project of “Nepalese Honey” track has burned down together with Lowe Aka User’s hard drive, so remixes are coming only for “Palms Boulevard” and “Tanz Botanik” tracks.

The first three versions of “Palms Boulevard” were made from already well-known and established names in Italo field: Scotsman, always on point Donald Dust, Italian, Amsterdam-based and super-prolific Daniel Monaco and back to France from Hong Kong, proper edits master Romain FX.

Guys took rather different approaches for making their versions and all of them put their own spin on the OG. We hope that each and everyone of you will fall in love with one version or the other or maybe with all three of them, just as we did. The last version of “Tanz Botanik” comes from a local hero, Lithuanian talent and also known Italo lover Jonas aka Black Feeling. Although this version is the most housey from the whole package, we think that it compliments the entire pack very nicely.

PREMIERE : Lowe Aka User - Tanz Botanik (Black Feeling's Spicy House Remix)

Yungruzt is back again with a high-energy party pumper. Heavy drums glued together with a beefy Moog bass, CS-80 synths that sparkle and twinkle, and a mischievous Jupiter-8 lead smack bang in the middle. A special track for a special little friend. All proceeds donated to Cats Protection UK

“Basically my albums have developed into my personal field of experimentation” says Martin Gretschmann, aka Acid Pauli. Known primarily for his psychedelic, leftfield club sounds that weave between slo-mo beats and deep burners, his EPs, remixes and collaborations have generally been more focused on the dancefloor. With his latest album, MOD (his third full-length released on his own Ouie label), Gretschmann goes in a tangential direction, drawing inspiration from modular synthesis and the scene that has flourished around it over the last years. The result is an album produced almost entirely with modular systems, inspired by the possibilities and restrictions of carefully shepherding machines that sing to themselves. 
“I know a lot of people who somehow found themselves and electronic music in a boring dead-end alley, and who have now found completely new worlds through modules”, he explains. Experimental as MOD may be, it certainly isn’t ‘difficult’ or inaccessible - or as someone put it, the nine tracks here are “soft, elegant, fluent, dreamy - the tracks achieve the effect of space-time morphing - magical states”. 
The album is best heard as one continuous piece, allowing it to unfold its delights gently. Most of the tracks were recorded live in one take - often with Gretschmann recording up to 10 different versions before choosing the final piece. 
Propagating Flip Flops starts things off - its glitchy textures and sync-shifting set the scene for the album - the sounds evolving and developing before resolving into a warm, ethereal tone. Intellijel Bell is made up of deep loops of rhythmic sounds, while metallic sounds and a submerged jazzy undertone hint at the classic Acid Pauli sense of fun. Acid On Yusef uses looped up rhythmic pulses and bass tones, joined by modulated beeps and blips. A touch of that iconic liquid acid sound pulls it together and gives the track its name. Sublime Frequencies Of Cairo is another beatless, floating collection of loops that shift and morph - seemingly suspended in space, before an ambient orchestral element resolves the track. 
As the title suggests, Du Brecht, Ich Dub revolves around a bass heavy sound, building up a rhythm of disparate elements that develop into a tense yet somehow weightless groove. Life Polarizer is further evidence that an Acid Pauli album will always somehow drift back towards the groove. The track works the effects pretty hard - sounds pinging between left and right and ebbing and flowing into the mix. Peace Waer Schoen also makes heavy use of delay to create a dubbed-out, wonky feel. The freedom of getting away from computer based production is referenced sardonically in Quantize Hell - its bleepy sounds find a rhythm and progression outside of the grid. Finally, No Kick, No Cry brings the journey to a close - it’s the first and only kick drum of the album and adds a structure to the magical unpredictability of the looped sounds. 
The album’s artwork perfectly reflects these sounds within - created by musician and artist Billy Caso. Each track is also accompanied by a minimalist video, created with a device from this modular world - the "Vidiot". It’s clear that in MOD, Gretschmann has produced a homage to the modular scene that might inspire as many people as it delights.

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯

I can’t say that 2020 is a bad year cause that would be a lie. On the contrary I can say that it helped me explore and extend my musical horizons more, find the time to finish my first EP with my good friend Chronis which will be released hopefully soon-ish, it gave me also time to reorganize my whole digital library and finally and also really important, gave me a lot of time for vacation which I couldn’t have had otherwise. So I really can’t say I was bored during this period. The only boring thing for me was hearing my friends saying that they were bored.

🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯

Now as about this podcast, I’m really honored I had the chance to participate in it. I recorded it at home and I tried to implement my feelings into it and certainly everything that I love to play. I created a relatively low-speed deep trip that doesn’t exceed the 122 BPM. So basically music to have sex to... When I came to Berlin for the first time, I realized that DJs were obsessed with speed. Both of them. But especially in music. I just couldn't follow or dance to music that was played so fast and I was kinda bored in the beginning until I found out about parties and artists that played similar music to mine. This is the reason why I decided to kick the drums a bit slower this time.

🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯

As about the future, that’s really uncertain. I’m a control freak that likes to organize everything in detail and in the beginning of the pandemic it seemed weird to me that it was out of my power to make plans for the future but I realized that nobody can do that so now I’m laidback and I just focus on my music which gives me happiness. I just wish that everything will get back to normal, or as some call it ‘’the new normal’’, really soon.

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the trip. Or just get up and dance. Your call.

French-Canadian producer and live act Christophe Dubé, aka CRi, shares his first LP remix single from his forthcoming debut album ‘Juvenile’, with indie dance vocal cut ‘From Me’ featuring Bernache (one third of indie pop band Men I Trust) coursey of fast rising Bristol-based duo Icarus a.k.a. Tom and Ian Griffiths.

Since bursting onto the scene back in 2015 with their ‘Don’t Cry Wolf EP’ on leading dance imprint FFRR, the pair’s star power continues to rise. Owing to their impeccably melodic brand of house and global crossover appeal, Icarus have been called upon by some of the world's biggest acts to stamp their mark, with recent remixes for the likes of Jessie Ware, Pendulum and Rüfüs Du Sol. Following a slew of high profile hits including ‘Home’ featuring Aurora and ‘October’, the brothers have garnered a host of tastemaker backing from Mixmag, Clash and DIY as well as Pete Tong, Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1; picking up a steady string of ‘Hottest Record In The World’ and ‘Essential New Tune’ accolades in recent years. Icarus now turn their attention to hotly tipped newcomer CRi, turning in a driving garage-tinged rework of CRi’s latest LP offering ‘From Me’.

CRi feat. Bernache - From Me (Icarus Remix)

ENERGY

ENERGY (Clipz Remix)

September's podcast is made by Berghain resident and one of the most sharp-cutting Berliners out there: Somewhen (@somewhen).

Somewhen is part of Berlin’s new techno generation, which continues to elaborate on the genres’ principal topics by adapting their meanings to a post-modern context. Futurism and nostalgia – two traditional techno themes purposely coming together within the very name of the producer, DJ and label owner: Somewhen describes this uncertain time in the vague future (whenever) as well as the confidence that eventually (sometime) one’s own dreams can be achieved.

In 2014, Somewhen not only impressed with the track “Kobalt” featured on his debut EP 9 – his second release (99 EP) on his own label SANA presented a conceptual artist of strong character driven by a sophisticated musical language. It’s not only about the quest to find ornamental or complex melodies that create the distinctive soul of Somewhen’s sound but also about the path he’s been taking thus far.

Berlin-born in the mid-80’s, Somewhen initially trained on drums and piano and experimented with hip-hop instrumentals later on. Long before his first record release, he explored the energising potential between beat, groove and melody. Influenced by bands like Depeche Mode and Massive Attack as well as the ubiquitous club culture of Berlin, Somewhen’s sound shifted more decidedly into electronic terrain, especially after training as a sound engineer. From hypnotic repetition to the subtle wealth of detail to his passion for atmospheric soundscapes: Somewhen’s current techno design derives from different sources that all share one common vision through which he’s deliberately positioning himself against one-dimensionality. With his versatile DJ sets, such as his Berghain [@berghain] debut in October 2014, or as a producer (Null EP, Unterton 2016; AFL, Ostgut Ton [@ostgutton-official], 2018), Somewhen has shown that breaking from your own routine can be both: journey and destination at once.

Munich DJs & producers Rhode & Brown teamed up with singer Kosmo Kint. NYC born and now Berlin living vocalist that already appeared on two Toy Tonics EPs by Mangabey and Sam Ruffillo (Ride my bike!!). This time the music goes deeper.

FJAAK - Highrise 49

In the trend-driven universe of electronic dance music, Gregor Tresher is the rare artist who transcends such cycles. His secret? A relentless focus on melody and timbre, timeless musical elements that other producers often undervalue. Just as a painting or a photograph appears to move if one stares at it long enough, close listening to the stratified grooves and melodies in Tresher's music reveals an organic universe of shifting sound.
