Highly-regarded production duo Unit7 are to offer up their first release of 2014 in the shape of three track EP, ‘Down’ / ‘Gave It Up’, the third transmission on WRHS Music. Renowned for their ability to deliver expertly crafted, groove-laden club tracks, they have forged a reputation as go-to names for some of the freshest, industrial house and techno cuts coming out of the UK. Fueled solely by their ambition to make people dance, Unit7 excel on both ‘Down’ and ‘Gave It Up’, tracks which should earmark them as names to watch this year. 

‘Down’ builds with minimal, percussive rhythms that serve as a prelude for the bullish, hard-edged bass line that carries the track into deeper, darker realms without sacrificing any of it’s significant dance floor potential. ‘Gave It Up’ adopts a similar blueprint, although builds as a more ambient, melodic soundscape with delicate, washed out synth lines and dreamy vocals giving it an altogether more soulful groove. A smooth, rolling dub mix of ‘Gave It Up’ ties together the EP with aplomb too, further amplifying the duo’s undoubted sonic credentials. 

Exhibiting high-end production value and a firm, unwavering dance floor aesthetic, Unit7 are sure to build on their burgeoning reputation throughout 2014 and, having already been confirmed to play both Horizons Festival and the Bugged Out Weekender on March 9th, look set to enjoy a busy summer season.

Unit7 - Down

Cristoph - Guffaz (Private Intro) [Clip]



John Digweed and Nick Muir's partnership has been one of electronic music's most fruitful pairings, leaving a body of work that’s seen them become one of the world’s most highly regarded production duos. While science fiction and electronic music have intertwined at numerous points since the emergence of the genre – from Jeff Mills to Global Communication and beyond - together with bestselling author, John Twelve Hawks, Digweed & Muir have taken the relationship into new territory and the album, ‘The Traveler’, is the result of this symbiotic connection.

Hawks wrote his trilogy of ‘The Traveler’ novels while listening to Digweed’s mix albums and weekly radio show, Transitions. After contacting the UK DJ and producer and an exchange that crossed several years (for reasons John outlines below), they agreed to work together to bring Hawks works to life via a collaborative album, and with Hawks as the narrator. The end result saw Hawks travel to the UK in secret, (he lives ‘off the grid’, hiding behind a secret identity due to his beliefs regarding the intrusiveness of the modern state and digital society – themes that are central to his work) and recorded his spoken word contributions to accompany an electronic music soundtrack created by Digweed and Muir. The meeting took place in the “middle of nowhere”, Hawks then disappeared back to whence he came, and the three have had limited contact since.

‘The Traveler’ is a unique and fascinating album, providing a listening experience that exists far beyond the dancefloor – though the track ‘3B3’ will be released as a single including a picture disk format. The music draws the listener deep into the world of ‘The Traveler’, brought further to life by Hawks spoken word passages taken directly from the novel. The accompanying physical release features extensive sleevenotes and artwork, making it an extremely collectable item for fans and beyond.

JOHN DIGWEED SAID:
“It all started when a copy of the book The Traveler was sent to me from John Twelve Hawks publishers with a letter explaining that John had been listening to my Transitions Radio show while writing the book and wanted me to have a copy as a thank you. Due to my busy schedule it wasn’t until the following year when I was on holiday that I finally got a chance to read the book. From the very first page I was hooked and couldn't put it down until it was finished.”
Digweed continues:
“I left a little thank you message in Jan 2009 thanking John through his website and didn’t think any more about it. Fast forward to Oct 2010 when, in the course clearing out my junk emails, I came across a reply from John Hawks himself - which I had completely missed. You can imagine how I felt! I responded straight away and this is an extract from the reply I received:
“I just wanted to say that I've followed your career over the years and have always wondered if we could create a project together. Contacting you was not a casual action. I know what you've done. In fact, while I'm writing this, I'm listening to GU 006: Sydney. I played what I call the "dark" CD -- CD 1 -- hundreds of times while I was writing book two of the trilogy, The Dark River. I'm bringing it up because -- like any good DJ -- you were able to establish a building momentum, a mood and a climax. This is what any dramatic form does: a film, novel or play.”

“So I thought, why not mix genres? A telephone conversation was arranged with John on his satellite phone, conducted via his voice scrambler that he uses on all his telephone conversations. We agreed that Nick and myself would attempt a project consisting of music based on passages from the book and after some initial discussions, it was decided that John Twelve Hawks would be the narrator. This posed a problem however, as John maintains strict secrecy about his identity in order that he may express his ideas about modern day threats to personal liberty more freely. At first, a meeting with him seemed out of the question. So we tried recording his voice down the phone through his voice changing software, but it quickly became obvious that we would need to record him directly in order to ensure his narrated contributions were clear and fully audible.”

“We put this to John and he graciously agreed. We arranged a meeting with him, 'off the grid' as he puts it,
in the middle of nowhere. He duly arrived at the appointed time, obviously we can't say anything about this meeting, what he looked like or how he was as a person as this would betray his trust; however, all went well and we recorded his narrated passages which he delivered perfectly like the consummate professional he is. And then, after a few brief pleasantries, he was gone as quickly as he had arrived. We haven’t seen him since, nor spoken to him save for a few communications relayed on email from his protected account.

“His contributions have been treated and changed with software in a variety of different ways on the album and the original recordings of his voice have been deleted to further protect his identity. These measures may seem drastic but this is how he wishes to conduct his career as an author in relation to the subject matter he deals with and we completely respect that. He is a perfect example of how it is possible to operate within an underground culture and we are privileged and delighted to bring a musical perspective to his ideas.”

DeepWit Sessions EP - 3.2 w/ Alvaro Hylander

Follow: @nadavvee / @alan-cerra

Plaisirs Sonores Records is proud to present Storm EP, the stunning new release from Argentine producer Alan Cerra, featuring two compelling originals—Storm and Shadowed Echoes, alongside a dynamic remix from New-York based artist Nadav Vee.

The release lands on August 8th, bringing together progressive grooves, melodic emotion, and peak-time energy in equal measure. Alan Cerra has quietly become one of the most respected rising names in the melodic and progressive scene. Known for his sleek, groove-heavy productions and emotive atmospheres, Alan has released on acclaimed labels such as Siona Records, The Soundgarden, and Mango Alley, with support from global icons like Miss Monique, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J. His ability to blend musical sophistication with dancefloor function is fully on display across both original cuts on this EP.

The title track, Storm, is a hypnotic roller built around rising tension and expansive melodic layers, while Shadowed Echoes dives deeper, exploring more introspective textures and intricate rhythms.

On remix duties, Nadav Vee—an artist known for releases on labels such as Plattenbank and Silver Joe—injects Storm with a lighter, bouncy edge, pushing the track into day-time territory while preserving its emotional core. Weve been following Alans music for years and are thrilled to finally welcome him to the label.

Both originals are secret weapons, and Nadavs remix absolutely destroys on the dancefloor, — say Hicky & Kalo, label founders of Plaisirs Sonores Records. Storm EP drops August 8th on Plaisirs Sonores Records.

The ever-ascending Josh Butler has without doubt found his groove and Defected are very pleased to welcome him back to the label with this textbook house bubbler with commanding vocals courtesy of Boswell. Following on from the melodic ‘On The Edge’ in 2016, Josh continues to demonstrate an accomplished understanding of club audiences and making dance floors bounce. What he has achieved since his Defected debut is exceptional, collaborating with Kerri Chandler, remixing for Carl Cox and seeing his own imprint ORIGINS RCRDS flourish while touring key venues around the world. ‘Be Somebody’ is the impeccably-constructed record that will see him reach the next level and keep on going. Joining him is another Defected favourite, Dario D’Attis, who delivers a soulful, hook-filled remix to complete the package.

Travmatic & Marosy - Got To Work [Tough Love Remix] // Dither Down // ***OUT NOW***

A childhood of spending your lunch money on Jungle records, reading your older brothers Eternity magazine and amassing rave- tapes does a lot to a person. Underground music culture becomes a part of your DNA and no matter how hard the 'real world' tells you to do something sensible, it just doesn't resonate.
