Label boss Schtu returns to Casomat with 'The Magician EP', a four-track release showcasing a slightly more nuanced side to his production style - one which he has previously only flirted with. Broken beats, stripped-back basslines, and even a track where, in his own words, "nothing much happens". For the Berlin-based producer and DJ, it’s a step into largely uncharted territory. Still, even though the EP demonstrates diversity in terms of mood and aesthetic, it still retains the melodic sensibilities and sharp arrangements that have become synonymous with Schtu's productions.

So, what to expect? Well, if each of the tracks had to have their own defining role in a kind of Spice Girls-esque arrangement, we'd probably assign them the following; LSD - the clubby one; The Magician - the deep one; Serendipity - the driving one; and Dopamine - the not-four-to-the-floor one.

Who's YOUR favourite?

'As we slowly enter the cozy and chilly autumn season, Plaisirs Sonores introduce Nōpi with a great dose of warm to soundtrack this musical adventure. The Ukrainian might be a new face, but he has already figured on some high-profile labels such as Kindisch, Akbal and When We Dip XYZ. For his debut on PSR, he unveils one brilliant track - 'Hosu' which perfectly showcase his talents as a producer.

'Hosu' is a spine-tingling number with majestic keys and chords overlaid with deep, warm drums. It's a real trip into melancholic moods and is the sort of lush track that sinks you into a reverie.

On remix duty, Erdi Irmak tightens the drums and create, with a majestic synth, a brilliant and memorable melody. Pad layers are added subtly never overpowering each other, creating a serene, surreal auditory experience.'

'Eli Baltsan, known professionally as DJ Zombi is an Israeli producer, remixer and one of the most advanced Tel Aviv artists who have reshaped electronic music worldwide. Baltsan's Armadillo Records debut brilliantly exposes over fifteen minutes of pure audio magic. It’s electronica at its best! This two track release signed for avant-garde Guy J's label is an expression of that classic, yet eternally new idea and passion, that brings an old-fashioned sparkle of positivism and delight to the digital world. These instrumentals are a sonic reflexion of what it signifies to be enlightened; what it’s like to express intimacy, melancholia, bliss, and the whole nine yards in between. AR014 is on the whole a superior release, definitely worth hearing and appreciating.'

Matthias Meyer and Ryan Davis re-link for another superb outing on Watergate.

If you know, you know. Matthias Meyer and Ryan Davis make sweet music together, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie once made babes. Tunes that melt you into the floor and roll dancefloors from Tulum to Tblisi. Their debut collaboration ‚Hope‘ was a dawning highlight of 2017 and Beatport Deep House no.1, while ‚Love Letters from Sicily‘, was a lustrous late summer anthem, reinforcing their knack for the sublime.

Their latest opus ‚Crying Juno / Cafuné‘ begins where its predecessors left off, taking life after Matthias and Ryan exchanged ideas back and forth over a period of months before finally settling in the former’s Holzmarkt studio in Berlin to finish giving the tracks their form. Together they’ve crafted a masterful yin and yang between joy and melancholy. ‚Crying Juno‘ is the buoyant leader, propelled by an insistent groove and ‘80s synths, both bittersweet and undeniably uplifting. ‚Cafuné‘ continues with the orchestral themes that gave us ‚Hope‘, as sweeping strings and keys swell over a bed of delicate percussion, gradually building into a delicious groove.

Matthias Meyer & Ryan Davis - Cafuné

Decidí ponerle este nombre a mi track por el significado del capítulo 5 de “The Midnight Gospel” que habla sobre la rueda del Samsara y así plasmarlo en mi carrera artística y con suerte ayudar a otros “artistas de closet”.
En resumen el Samsara es la rueda del ciclo de la vida en el cual uno dependiendo de las acciones que tomo en su vida se determina si este trasciende hacia la iluminación o desciende.
Muchos de nosotros estamos iniciando este camino en el cual trabajamos en nuestros proyectos ya sea de música, pintura, cine, fotografía, etc... y rara vez sacamos nuestras creaciones a la luz por miedo al rechazo, a las críticas o a que el proyecto en sí no es lo suficientemente bueno en comparación de algo profesional.
El problema es que si nosotros realmente queremos llegar a ese punto de “iluminación” en este caso llegar al “profesionalismo”, tenemos que pasar por este proceso de “sufrimiento” creado por nuestras inseguridades, si o si. Tenemos que trabajar en mejorar nuestros errores y aprender de nuestros fracasos.
Lo más importante en este camino es que tenemos que aprender a encariñarnos de todas nuestro proceso y de nuestras creaciones por el simple hecho de que son nuestras y es un regalo de nuestro SER para el mundo.
Todo lo que hagamos es hecho con pasión con ganas de transformar a los demás a algo positivo y buscamos esa conexión con el arte, no con la fama ni con el dinero.
Entonces ahora más que nunca es cuando necesitamos que todos esos artistas que están escondidos con sus obras, salgan a la luz y empiecen a transformar a este mundo en algo que realmente venga del corazón con intenciones buenas.

--------
US house and techno imprint Loot Recordings welcome India’s Filtergeist.
The Invocation EP sees Filtergeist, aka Aditya Prabhu, deliver three original tracks while Innvervisions’ INVŌKER, All Day I Dream’s Roi Okev and Silence Path supply remixes. Title track ‘Invocation’ opens the EP in mesmerising style with drifting chimes, washing soundscapes and distant voices sat on top of a bassline which asserts itself throughout.
INVOKER’s remix of ‘Invocation' channels the hypnotic aesthetic of the original but takes a less organic approach with tough, filtered synth tones providing counterpoint to the soft melodies and vocals.
'Deja Vu’ follows and shows Prabhu’s knack for providing immense detail and otherworldly yet organic sounds while keeping one eye firmly on the groove. Roi Okev, an artist who has also cropped up on Little Helpers, delivers a moody, heavier interpretation which brings the drums and bottom end to the forefront while teasing just the right amount of melodic ebb and flow.
‘Wisterian Waves’ closes out the EP with undulating, pacy toms and rich, textural toplines while Silence Path reworks it into a playful, heavily organic piece of trippy funk.
Filtergeist’s ‘Invocation EP’ is released on Loot Recordings on 17th July.

PREMIERE: Brandon Scarbrough & Nathan Clement - How We Fall (Original Mix) [Laika Sounds]

@squiremusic
@einmusika-recordings

Squire agrega otra referencia genial a su currículum, lo que lo convierte en uno de los artistas mas en formas del momento, ya que lanza su EP debut en Einmusika, "The Hidden".

"Miscelanea" tiene un ritmo y unos graves más intensos y con más ritmo. Una melodía de sintetizador lenta y hermosa inyecta seriedad y seguridad, manteniéndonos enganchados mientras las notas vibrantes y gruñidos alternativamente mantienen una conversación, antes de que las voces de la ruptura prolongada con un ambiente del Medio Oriente marquen una sección rápida y total antes de que el sintetizador triste nos llame. 

La capacidad de Squire para captar la atención del oyente con sus sentidas melodías ha fascinado a los sellos de todo el mundo.

Asaga — I'm Sympathy (Remastered 2020)

'Tactal Hots Music, the steadfast North West (UK) underground label, returns from its hiatus with ‘Last Night On Earth’, a stunning new track courtesy of Mark Youssef & Novikoff. This exciting Australian-Russian studio collaboration is further enhanced with the unique remix skills of Dutch maestro Lemon8.

The creative connection between Mark Youssef & Novikoff is super strong. Each of their deftly crafted releases is a highly anticipated event for many DJs around the globe and their latest creation is no exception. ‘Last Night On Earth’ is powerfully engaging beast that floats melodic beauty on top of a swirling cauldron of bursting energy.

“'Last Night on Earth' has that techno vibe going on and it was really interesting exploring that when making my own interpretation. What I wanted to preserve was that drive and I think I've succeeded. The 303 acid line is understated and that's just how I wanted it. I'm very happy with the end result and it's been wonderful exploring the techy side of me once again.” - Harry Lemon8

Lemon8 takes a deeper route to create his equally engaging rework, with layers of melody over a gloriously hypnotic percussive backbone. Masterfully sophisticated and sublimely subtle touches are the name of the game here as acidic elements peak and retreat in the mix – it is an utterly absorbing creation that perfectly contrasts with the upfront energy of Mark Youssef & Novikoff’s excellent original.'
