Here is the Seth Troxler remix of the track 'I Try To Talk To You' which is co-written by the excellent John Grant. The track is taken from the album 'The Feast Of The Broken Heart' which was released on the 26th May.

The first vocal collaboration of the new album's recording sessions, John's sexy tomcat voice and lyrical ability for translating hardship into elegance lent themselves greatly to the new album.

Andy Butler explains: "I asked John to dig deep with his lyrical contribution. I had no idea he would dig so deep. He tackled the story of becoming HIV positive, and while I mentioned to him that he did not need to go there if he was not comfortable, in that beautifully punky, spirited and courageous way he has about him, he told me that was what the song was going to be about. What came of it is an elegant song featuring John singing and playing his heart out.”

'I Try To Talk To You' was released with remixes on the 9th June.

Batumi-based producer Four Walls is back after a seven-year hiatus. The first time around he made some standout cuts for the likes of Traxx Underground and Kolour LTD but this time around he finds himself on the new Ultraworld Records imprint from DJ Craft. 

This one kicks off with the lush prog house and silky synth arps of 'Mind Charger' which soon takes you to the stars. 'Metamorphosis' is a more raw-edged and acid-laced techno stomper for peak time action and 'Summer Nights' is a bubbling, elastic tapestry of new age overtones, thudding kicks, and trance-tinged pads. A remix by Toronto-based Pletnev adds another dimension to this club-ready EP.

Tracklist:

A1	Mind Charger
A2	Metamorphosis
B1	Summer Nights
B2	Mind Charger (Pletnev Remix)

Bon Vivant #002: LA Kena - Dancefloor Temp (Original Mix) [Epicure Records] FREE DOWNLOAD

Mister T. records is back with a new electrifying sonic voyage with Tourman, the crazy productive producer and DJ from the vibrant city of Vilnius, Lithuania. After “Gravitone” a first freebie released for christmas 2023, MTT records and @Tourmanvibes are teaming up again for 5 new tracks.

Set to release on the 20th of March, “La Voir Partir” comprise 3 original tracks, one acid mix and a remix by another great Lithuanian artist, famous for the MTT family, “Black Feeling” who already contributed to the label with on the italo compilation released in 2023.
The 5 tracks complete each other on a great tribute to 90s house grooves, with vocals, samples and atmosphere reminding the best years of rave culture and fast house tracks inspired by soft techno and trance anthems.

The EP opens with “Sentimental”, where Tourman worked with Aureja’s (@aurejadiscjockey) vocals to recreate the genuine raw energy of rave / prog house.
On “La Voir Partir”, Tourman continues the exploration of the underground speed house scene with a bit of aerial pads and piano stabs for a more melodic dancefloor killer.
Finally comes “Underfluencer”, a powerful tool oscillating between raw house beats, breakbeats, drops and sweet leads.

Influenced by euro-house, trance and 90s house and with seven years of experience in the music industry and a repertoire that includes releases on esteemed labels such as 39 Records, Whoyostro, and Hungarian Hot Wax, with “La Voir Partir”, Tourman will definitly become a name to be reckoned in the underground house scene.

It's been three years since Swiss producer Michel Cleis conjured a storm with “La Mezcla”, a Cadenza hit cemented into house canon as it was swiftly reissued by Strictly Rhythm, bringing the sabor latino into clubs worldwide. Some more 12”s and a number of high-profile remixes (going from tracey thorn to skunk anansie,for labels like rekids , bronswood or Aus) later, he's now teaming up with DJ Koze's crew for his next move: a colorful, crescendoing 12-minute tune that's ready to make a splash in your summer soundtrack.

“Mir a Nero” begins with a steady, upbeat kick underlying a simple piano arpeggio – like if Philip Glass make dance music – but then some accents of vibrant hand percussion loosen up the vibe, soon progressing into rhythmic layers that cause the energy to swell. By the 4-minute mark, a subtle, buzzing synth permeates the background, contrasting the track's overall organic feel, leading into the playful piano chords and colombian vocal hook. Simply put, this is Latin House with that anomalous Pampa Records swagger, drenched with flavor like Sangria-soaked mango.

Flip that baby over and you get “Amaranthus”, named after the famed flower that represents immortality. This piece stands as a color-negative of “Mir a Nero”, an unwavering stomp with just shadows of the piano sample heard earlier. Freeze-dried rather than sun-ripened, “Amaranthus” is a dubby, more technofied counterpart to the A-Side, crafted for deeper and darker moments on the dancefloor.

Ask Yourself (Audiojack's Chemical Rewind)

In memory of our friend Martin Dawson.

Dear all,

we thought long about how to deal with Martin Dawson's passing, as we have a long scheduled release tomorrow, and it feels strange promoting your new EP when still mourning the loss of a friend.

As it is (technically) very difficult to postpone a release on the next day, and as we believe that Martin would not have wanted this either, we decided to go ahead with it.

As a final goodbye, we would like to give you a free download of our favourite OFF Recordings track of his.

Bye Martin, you will be missed.

Andre Crom & Martin Dawson - In The City - Off20

The ever shape shifting, critically hailed Hercules & Love Affair return with brand new album In Amber, to be released on 17th June 2022 via Skint/BMG.

“Across this record, there are emotional fields I hadn’t ventured into previously with Hercules & Love Affair,” says Butler. “Destruction, rage, loss, but also redemption and journeying towards empowerment are all touchstones on the album. It has taken years to make, but I am happy to put it forward now, at a moment in time where we have all been confronted with such heightened feelings collectively and on an unprecedented scale”.

Reuniting with ANOHNI for the first time since her stellar turn on the eponymous debut in 2008 (which undeniably produced one of the most beloved dance tunes of the oughts “Blind”) proved key to this process. Both share a love and deep respect for music of a more aggressive bent, zig zagging from grindcore like Godflesh and Bolt Thrower, via electronic avant-garde like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire to female fronted punk and metal like Sacrilege, Fear of God and Diamanda Galas.  On the other end of the spectrum, they have an equally intense appreciation for darker ethereal acts such as This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance. In Amber reflects this wide swathe of emotion and sound.
