Sven Weisemann - Killiny Beach - Mojuba LP 3 C1 (Preview)

We have been proud to watch the rise of Oleg Poliakov after he first joined our ranks with Datcha Musik way back in 2007. Since first swearing allegiance to the Circus, he has continued to unfurl a refined approach to house and techno that carefully balances a respectful mastery of the classic tropes of the genre with his own instinct for seductive melodic content. Finally, after no less than eleven singles for labels such as Bass Culture and Eklo as well as us, the time has come for Oleg to embrace the album format and take us on a journey that stretches beyond the immediacy of a dancefloor 12” and captures perfectly where he is at right now.

As the preceding single C.A.V.O.K has revealed, there is a techno spirit roaming the circuitry of Oleg’s studio, tussling with the delay and reverb gates, firing off focused, intricate rhythms and unafraid of whipping up a mean-tempered kick or two. Across Random Is A Pattern you can hear such energy surging out of tracks like “Beyond” and “Anatomy Of A Shipwreck”, with the latter having an especially tough rhythm section. However, these cuts have just as much brain as they do brawn, and in between the driving drums sit haunting pads, ethereal dub textures and curious string harmonies.

This is not an album of functional club tracks though, far from it. Recognising the value of the long player as a vessel for exploration, Oleg turns his hand to some truly unexpected patterns and tones. “A Quiet Storm” comes from the school of classic ambient electronica and leftfield broken beat, while “Holy You” makes for one of the most startling moments on the album with a powerfully resonant vocal sample over plaintive piano and a fractured rhythm. 

While some may be surprised to hear the styles that Oleg has turned his hand to, the ten tracks are undeniably his. In his choice of mysterious chords and moving key structures, he continues along the smooth creative arc he has been carrying us on since he first emerged. The drums might bite harder in places, or softer in others, but Random Is A Pattern makes perfect sense as the logical next step in the unfolding story of Oleg Poliakov.

Located beyond Neptune's orbit is the dwarf planet Haumea, the inspiration behind Rødhåd’s second release for Token. It follows his Spomeniks 12” from last year which the Berliner used to debut on the Belgian label, the only other imprint he’s released with other than his own Dystopian Records. Over the past three years Rødhåd’s reputation has sky-rocketed, not only as an accomplished producer with five releases to his name, but as a big room DJ whose formidable presence behind the decks demands as much respect as DVS1 and German big guns Dettmann and Klock.

No longer a newcomer to the scene, Rødhåd is now a respected staple of European techno and his three-track Haumea single features an alternative Dirt version of the title-track mixed by the Dystopian co-founder, and a second remix by Token mainstay Ø [Phase]. Rødhåd’s return to Token provides the label with their penultimate record before the unveiling of their landmark 50th release, Aphelion, a CD and triple vinyl showcase of new and exclusive material from label regulars and like-minded artists whom Token founder Kr!z specifically commissioned for the deluxe release.

Rødhåd’s return succeeds Surgeon’s official debut on Token earlier this month with his Fixed Action Pattern 12”, which first bore news of the Aphelion compilation, and here Rødhåd provides a linear alternative to the distorted, industrial dub of Anthony Child’s Token missive. “Haumea” is a bleepy production that straddles the divide between the Detroit techno of Jeff Mills and newer European interpretations mixed with coarse hi-hats that cut straight through the mix. The B-side’s Dirt version provides a minimal alternative which strips the original’s murky low end, and as a result emphasis falls on lucid drum machine programming which exhume alien bleeps from the deep. For some extra heat Ø [Phase] brings the booming sound of his Frames Of Reference LP to Haumea with a chugging remake courteously titled ‘Satellite remix’ complimenting the theme of this spacey record.

We are happy to welcome Maceo Plex to Drumcode with the fourth instalment of his Conjure series, ‘Conjure Infinity’. Featuring two tracks ‘Conjure Dreams’ and ‘Conjure Floyd’, both are peak time monsters that introduce two very different elements. ‘Conjure Dreams’ utilises a groovy, melodic bass that is reinforced using tight thumping drums to shatter any dance floor into the universe. ‘Conjure Floyd’ builds into a more ‘heads down’ techno vibe with a very interesting breakdown. Two sure fire tracks to ignite the floor.

Words by Nuno Mendonça:

New shapes and forms seem to be rising from the surface of The Gods Planet. They are the dark, angular and yet enticing creations from the minds of TGP founder Claudio PRC and ascending talent UNC, and they represent the debut of a promising collaboration between the two techno explorers. Claudio PRC, despite his still young age, is already an established name in the scene, after several releases on Prologue which helped define the modern hypnotic techno sound, now extending his singular vision to labels like Trolldans, Semantica and Outis along with TGP founder Ness. As for UNC, an italian like Claudio, the alias represents the more dancefloororiented expression of someone who´s already been turning a few heads as Dubit, owner of Berlinbased label Several Reasons, who, amongst others, recently released the intimate and adventurous album and visual project, “Fragmenti”. 

The two tracks in this release are formally explicit in their intentions : Claudio PRC and UNC are
in exploratory mood and they sound hungry in staking their territory clearly, but the rhythmic thrust of the compositions is as important as creating context. MDCCXVIII sets off from a bed of sound effects, drones and electro acoustic flourishes which could be a track in itself, before a progressively more ferocious broken rhythm, almost tribal in nature, and a frantic staccato bass seem to raise us from the surface where we started and hurl us across the air into a full flight punctuated by dramatic quasiorchestral stabs. The track creates a veritable vortex before settling us down again on land, yet in unknown territory. MDXLIV constitutes the 2nd half of the EP and the offbeat rhythmical patterns are present again yet in a more domineering position, this time pierced by nocturnal pads, the buzzing sound of frying circuits and urgent clanging percussion, lending the track an industrialized vibe, like a onceperfect machine in a state of distress. 

All in all, this release shows new facets of both it´s creators and raises intriguing questions. Claudio PRC and UNC are defying the listener as much as defying and questioning themselves. In pure sonic terms, these tracks transport you into a futuristic setting, but they seem to warn us of the dark side of progress. In any case, both producers seem more than willing to be a guiding light for the listener, into that obscure yet strangely compelling unknown. If this release is any indication, the voyage to get there will be a fascinating one.

Since starting Plus 8 Records at the turn of the ‘90s, Richie Hawtin has shaped not just the sound of electronic music, but also the culture and industry around it, like few others. He developed the tool that went on to change the art of DJing (Final Scratch), established a seminal club night in Ibiza (ENTER.), built a veritable techno empire (M_nus), and most importantly, released some of the most memorable music in techno history. Now the latter doesn’t happen all too often these days, so we’re even more excited to present a brand new recording under a new alias, 80XX. ‘Crawlr’ is one of four 80XX tracks recorded in Berlin this year to coincide with the release of Hawtin’s new album, From My Mind To Yours – a raw banger that channels the energy of the early ‘90s while demonstrating how this Red Bull Music

80XX - CRAWLR

The music of Darren Roberts has asserted it ́s uniqueness within his preferred form of ￼expression, rolling and tunneling techno, strong on propulsion and atmosphere.

What stands out from his production and performance is that Deepbass creates something identifiably his own, but refuses to ever be limited by it or to get comfortable repeating just
one thing. Instead, he takes what ́s already his own and streamlines it, sharpens it and nuances it. The origin and destination of this bullet train might be constant, but the path it takes and how the journey feels is ever-changing.

Now the debut album from Deepbass which is going out on his Informa imprint consists of 8 tracks all in his signature sound but in a more restrained and expressive nature. A sensory journey built of entrancing melodies, fluid motions and a transcending flow which create a pure hypnotic effect. Moments of electronic tribalism consistently layered with waves of delicate sonics and textures, taking you deep into the abyss creating strong imagery in a near cinematic style.

￼The release will be available as a double 12" and digital, mastering made by Artefacts Mastering.

Out now: http://news.lnk.to/foreignmaterial 

Our next release is by a young Brussels based artist that will be a new name to most of you.
Foreign Material has been into music since his youth. After studying percussions at the Conservatory and graduating in history, his interest in dark atmospheres led him to techno music. The spirit of his music is a mix of ancient myths and futuristic visions. Conceptual music, both mystical and cosmic, with a link between past and future. Here's what he had to say about his EP:
"'Omega System' is a journey to deep space and beyond, to the unknown destinations allowed by the mythical and mysterious Omega relay that's been turning around Omega’s red sun since ages. But beware, the path that you will follow is dangerous and nobody ever came back. Some say that you will find death. Others that you will find great treasures. But some wise people think you will finally find Truth."
On remix duties are label friends Hiver, also known for their residency at Milan's Dude Club. Whereas the original tracks are more deep and floating, the Hiver remixes will be of high interest to many a dancefloor, you can trust us on that one.

Hot on the heels of the A-Sides Volume 5 compilation, Enrico Sangiuliano makes his return to Drumcode with his highly anticipated EP ‘Moon Rocks’. The heavy hitting four track EP shines a light on Sangiuliano’s tight, thundering production skills. The hoover heavy lead track ‘Moon Rocks’ is packed with booming percussion, intricate synths and brooding crescendos. The EP encapsulates Sangiuliano’s wide spectrum of sounds ranging from the fat bass line of ‘Moon Rocks’ to the more delicate harmonies shown within the ‘Dutch Kiss’ mixes whilst ‘Ghettoblaster’ sits somewhere in between.

Following two radical reinterpretations earlier this summer from Truncate and Yaleesa Hall, which earned plays from Roman Flügel, Laurent Garnier and Ben Sims to Dusky and Huxley; Kamera’s ‘Ventoux’ EP is further expanded with two remixes that tastefully expand the producer’s original vision of uncompromising body music.

Festival and club favourite George FitzGerald is on hand first, delivering a blistering remix of Consignia, one of his personal favourite club records in recent times. Here, FitzGerald continues his masterful streak of production, knowingly blending the somewhat menacing machine throb of the original with a suspenseful bassline, eventually culminating in a heavenly, ethereal breakdown, one that’s certain to leave bigger rooms in throes.

Meanwhile, Throwing Snow’s remix of title track ‘Ventoux’ deconstructs the bright, IDM inspired anthem into something equally frenetic yet utterly different. Punchy live drums begin to escalate over a deeply satisfying electronic snarl, recalling Throwing Snow’s noted fascination with post-rock, while maintaining the tempo with naturally evolving elements of industrial and EBM.

As said by the so missed Juno Plus: “The middle ground between US and European electronic music is where the work of Hiver exists”. Echoing hypnotic melodies and haunting rhythms have given form to Hiver's sound. 
They've been defining their aesthetic path, driven by melodic and distant elements slowly evolving in a mould of linear rhythms. Their debut Ep “A Day”, on Vidab Records has been followed by the highly acclaimed “Blue Aconite” Ep, released via Curle Recordings and including a Tobias remix.  
Thanks to this release, Hiver’s name started to be reckon worldwide. Clubs and festival promoters has soon started taking note of their works, as testified by their shows at Panoramabar, Dimensions Festival, Polifonic, ADE, Oval Space,Tresor and tours in Asia, US, South America. 

Based in Milan, they have been playing at the infamous Dude Club as resident and in the meantime, other labels and producers started approaching Hiver with collaboration offers. 
Since then they have issued several releases on the likes of  Curle, Luke Hess’s Deeplabs, Kann, Appian Sounds, Fides, LET Amsterdami and Taped Artifact. In 2019 Peggy Gou featured an Hiver’s track for her compilation on !K7. In 2021 the duo makes a comeback with releases on Polifonic's new label and Sungate Records.
2022 "Wave Sliding" EP on Peggy Gou's GUDU label, a record that both marks and celebrates Hiver’s 10 years of operation. 

Few words regarding their DJ sets..
''Why stick to one genre? We play from house to techno with everything in between. we select for the room, crowd, club, set time and other artist on the bill'' Hiver says..
They are know to be able to deliver an uptempo techno set to an eclectic mellow-vibe.
