Birds - Into The Coral Sea

Emotional Response completes its 10th anniversary by welcoming Benedikt Frey to the label with a special release, a fantastic dub-psychedelic cover of Joy Division, delivered in multiple versions, including a wonderful dub-meets-prog reinterpretation from Lucas Croon.

An established producer for over a decade, with a releases for a myriad of respected labels like ESP Institute, Crème Organisation, Hivern Discs, Live At Robert Johnson and Serious Trouble, plus Frey’s own excellent R.I.O Records that is quickly becoming label to watch, it’s pleasure he joins Emotional Response with a fresh, but respectful remake.

Alongside PiL Ltd, Joy Division were the ultimate post punk band, the music, design and untimely passing of lead signer Ian Curtis, creating a mystique around the band that survives today. Opening their second, and final, album Unknown Pleasure, the song is a big part of their history. Frey’s version – with secret vocalist Carla Koller – offer a wide-screen retake, the dub bass and modulated snare wrap around lyrics, while haunting guitar adds to an unease.

Starting with a classic, but perfect Vocal Mix, there is an accompanying Instrumental that together highlight a propulsion and incessant groove, allowing the space between to herald the production’s beauty.

This is backed with a live remake by Lucas Croon. A label fan since his appearances in Stabil Elite, BAR and The Kloom, this Dusseldorf fraternity member continues Emotional Response’s long-standing association with the city. With celebrated releases on Aiwo Recs and Themes From Great Cities, his fireside remix begins as some dub-psyche odyssey before morphing in to a steppas-delight rock out that will capture the open ears and minds.

To close, Frey returns with his own Dub. Possibly the EP’s stand-out, this half step remix sucks the listener to the spaces between, as vocals dissipate and collapse within, bass bins distorting to distraction, the pull of a true and worthy dub symphony.

Benedikt Frey - She's Lost Control (ft. Carla Koller)

Niteffect has made a concept album for us, dedicated to Man's Best Friend and our puppy Dalmata Daniel couldn't be more honoured!

This album is Niteffect's debut on our label, but we are not talking about a rookie producer, because he has been releasing music since 2007 mostly on Hamburg-based Kreislauf. His music is mainly characterized by strong emotion melodies, deep basses mixing with downtempo, trip-hop, idm, and deep house sound elements.

Man's Best Friend is an electro-oriented album, sometimes with breaks or other broken beats sound, but the most common that all the tracks have deep emotional synth waves. Niteffect playfully uses these to create melancholic and more upbeat moods, creating a varied but coherent whole, perfectly capturing the changing experiences of a summer vibe.

PREMIERE : Niteffect - Frengle

Alek Lee is back on Antinote to release his debut LP ‘You’. Covering 18 songs and crafted in the producer’s studio over the past few 4 years, the Tel Avivian has swapped the misty aura of his first two EPs for a smoked out haze. ‘You’ effortlessly blends digi-dub, boogie, and yacht rock to
create a washed out, dub-pop sound befitting of its place of recording sat at the edge of the desert and the sea.
If Lee’s earlier works were defined by brooding downtempo beats with kids television vocal samples sprinkled amongst them, then the album hears the producer open himself up to the process of the singer-songwriter, getting behind the microphone and optimistically speaking
words of his own. But perhaps that may be put too bluntly. Fankly, Lee fluidly moves between crooning, whispers, gasps all the way to full on ballad style singing effortlessly and with ease. His newly develop vocal experiments are too supported by an impressive array of collaborators which can be found in the LP’s liner notes. These collaborations also help to mix far-flung musical styles into the LP. For instance, take Kol Hayom featuring Keren Ilan. It’s a laid-back tune that would sit comfortably beside Rita Lee tropicália. Or Love To Puff You Baby featuring $hkuro, which upends Donna Summer’s bodily groove into a heady bop.
‘You’ is a testament to Alek Lee’s prolific exploration of his own brand of dub: shimmering off-beat guitars, low-fidelity beats and deep grooves. Oh and always a melodica line found somewhere amongst it.

PREMIERE⚡️Alek Lee - Kol Hayom (ft. Keren Ilan) [Antinote]

An unusual sunny day in September. You’re walking down a familiar street. Dry autumn leaves and small twigs crunching under your feet. A warm breeze sways the young maple tree growing near the small football pitch. Your back is slightly tired from the heavy backpack. The playground swings are creaking. Your fingers still have a hint of cigarette smoke. Two heavily sun-tanned old men are playing ping pong on the old metal table. Suddenly, you remember that you won't have to sit in stuffy classrooms for the next two days (the worst of all is the physics, with the stern faces of Niels Bohr and Georg Ohm over the blackboard), worry about yet another test, or attempt to climb that silly rope in gym class. You’re smiling widely. A decade (or even a couple of decades) will pass, and on a sunny autumn day you will smile just as widely when the mix by Apollon Telefax for 5/8: radio starts playing in your headphones

Junto Club return!

Crafted in a southside studio in Glasgow, Junto Club's 'Golden Apple' is a sonic journey set to release on Optimo Music. 

For the past ten years, Junto Club have continued to defy genre boundaries while producing a sound that is distinctively their own. ‘Golden Apple’ continues in this vein, capturing a range of styles, from the fast-paced title track to the dub-inspired 'San Worm' and the pop hook of 'The Answer.' Initial drafts, chaotic and abstract, were brought to life at Green Door Studio before being sent to Emily and Stu Evans in the Californian desert for the final mix and arrangement. Sascha Funke then took on the mission of reimagining ‘Golden Apple’ towards a more hynoptic groove. 

Drawing inspiration from the dystopian future that climate breakdown forewarns, 'Golden Apple' is a compact genre shifting creation that speaks to our times.

Released digitally 27/10/2023
