SCALPING - Flood Remixed (EP out 8th October)

The new release on Markantonio’s MKT Rec is from Greg Notill who joins the label roster after his latest releases on top flight labels such as Say What?, IAMT, Orange Recordings, Reload and many more

Greg gave birth to his “Beyond Infinity” solo EP for the label together with the second track “Non Stop” respecting his actually fresh techno style.
After many years of Hardtechno, he decided to turn his sound in a mixture of melodic and atmospheric techno combined with many cosmic elements like pads, leads, keys, rhythms and basses.

Based near to Strasbourg (France), Greg Notill shared the stages of some of the biggest festivals around the globe like Awakening, Monegros, Decibel, Syndicate, Radikal Style etc. through his 20 years’ experience within the electronic music industry.

Greg Notill - Beyond Infinity

There was a voice in the back of his head, sometimes it whispered and yet sometimes it shouted and screamed as if he were under a magnificent spell. It hold him what to do, how to be, where to go and how to think but it was not always the voice of wisdom. Sometimes it whispered elegant, crafty lies and tall tales. This time the story was well reasoned and well rounded and the voice was beginning to grow louder. It shouted and screamed as follows...

"I can't let you do this..."

Mark Hawkins readies an exciting new album on Houndstooth. A full length LP titled "The New Normal" is forthcoming on the label with the emergence of a new track called "Can't Let You Do This" an insight into what we can expect. It's big room stuff, poppy, happy, housey and club ready.

PREMIERE: Mark Hawkins - Can't Let You Do This [Houndstooth]

Markantonio presents the brand-new RAW Series on his MKT Rec welcoming the Greek techno duo Bleur & MB1 that opens the series debuting on the label with “Satira” EP.

The young rising techno stars Bleur & MB1 delivered their project for the label after releasing on big imprints such as Pan Pot’s Second State, Odd Recordings, Set About, the legendary Planet Rhythm and many more to come.

The Greek techno duo continues to impress with every release, showcasing a RAW Dark and Loud Techno sound that doesn't just follow popular trends and “Satira” together with “Sexiest and Suspense”, confirms it.

Bristol techno, noise and hardcore supremos SCALPING will release their latest project ‘FLOOD REMIXED’ on October 8th. The EP is an excellently curated collection of sublime remixes from some of the most prominent and intriguing musicians, producers and figureheads from across the musical spectrum. Heavyweight contributors include 2021 Mercury Prize nominees and recent number 1 album holders Mogwai as well as Laurel Halo and object blue.

‘FLOOD REMIXED’ continues the stellar trajectory of the band, who, over the past few years have become an unmissable live act and gained notoriety as one of the essential, electrifying new bands in the UK. Their recent debut EP ‘FLOOD’, their first release for the forward-thinking Houndstooth label, gained widespread acclaim including CRACK Magazine, NME, The Quietus, Loud & Quiet, Mixmag, The Line of Best Fit and many others.

Scottish post-rock icons Mogwai step up to remix ‘Cloudburst’. Stretching and expanding the track, creating new drum patterns, and continually ratcheting up the drama inherent in the original; a naturally sensational slab of post-rock.

“I loved reworking Cloudburst due to the sheer mass of lovely little (and big) noises from which I could make new drum sounds and melodies to layer over the original. This was a tune where everything was so nicely overwhelming in the beginning and somehow came together really well with a bit more chaos from my fumbling about with the buttons. Really looking forward to seeing the band live soon.” ~ Barry Burns of Mogwai



SCALPING is the Bristol based group comprised of James Rushforth, Alex Hill, Isaac Jones, Jamie Thomas and visual collaborator Jason Baker, initially formed at the end of 2017 with a desire to pair their hometown's visionary, off-kilter dance music to the more organic instrumentation you might find in noise-rock and post-punk. They have since won all manner of plaudits at radio, press and through fervent word-of-mouth for both their eclecticism on record and for the pummelling intensity of their live performances.

London-based artist @Wordcolour returns to Houndstooth with a new single ‘Bluster’

Support the artist: https://hth.lnk.to/bluster

In Wordcolour’s own words, "all the way back in January 2021, when the UK was entering its second national lockdown, I set myself the task of trying to write a club track. I wanted to avoid the lockdown temptation to write melancholic, dreamy dance music, and so found myself trying to remember what the club sounded and felt like at a time when raving was a distant memory.

The result, Bluster, continues some of the club experiments I began on my first EP "Tell Me Something", but with a beefed-up heavier sound aimed at slow, chunky techno sets. Like that first record, this track has a sense of humour - constantly cutting in playful bits of vocal and drum detail. Both the title and the artwork imply an undue swagger - a sense of winging it through changeable unpredictable weather conditions: a combination that, for me, sums up the feel of this track as well as the circumstances in which it was made."

We are excited to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F alongside this video directed by Ian Roderick Gray (The Banksy Job).


“Squares and Triangles was a turning point for the project - the first track I finished where I felt like things were heading in the right direction. F-M-M-F’s fantastic vocals hooked me straight away. They read almost like a film, exploring the tension of a doomed relationship when incompatible edges collide, crack and crumble amongst the lies.”


On Man’s creative roots lie deep. An artist with a unique gift for sound design, he’s able to conjure perfect pop songs and then corrode them, revealing the emotional truths underneath. An electronic artist with a human touch, he’s worked in the studio for an array of other artists, as well as delivering huge cinematic soundtrack projects, all while pursuing his own solitary agenda. "Squares and Triangles" marks the first step of this personal journey and more will follow later this year.


Lyrics:

You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is 
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?

You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to 
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is 
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle

Following notable releases on Editions Mego as Electronic music duo LCC, and multiple singles and collaborations on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label and Modern Obscure Music, experimental electronic artist Ana Quiroga (@ana_quiroga) announces her debut album Azabache for release on 8th September via Houndstooth. Ana also shares the first single from the project ‘Wallada’ which is available now to buy digitally and stream.

A personal odyssey, shaped by Ana’s deep connection to her homeland Asturias and her experience since moving to London, underpins Azabache. From the rich Celtic heritage of Asturias – the mines, minerals, and mystical feminine energy – to the urban occultism of their now-home London and the enchanting streets of Hackney and the East End, Azabache embodies the connection between deep and highly symbolic ancestral roots and these contemporary new beginnings.


Written, composed, produced and pre-mixed by Ana Quiroga Olavarrieta / Mixed by Paul Corley / Mastered & cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London

Wallada: Bass guitar by Chris Norrish. Additional vocals by Catalina Barceló

Inner City Light: Written in collaboration with Gorka Molero. Bass and backing vocals by Gorka Molero

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.

Amsterdam’s Sinchi Music returns with its 10th release, this time from German duo Le Jeune Flück and featuring remixes from Moscoman, Theus Mago and themselves.
Sinchi Music launched their label back in early 2019 off the back of their popular blog, events and DJ sets. The imprint’s mission has been to release quality left of centre electronic music, with all funds going to a non-profit foundation to support indigenous peoples’ right and preservation of culture. To date the label has seen music from
the likes of Sascha Funke, Khidja, Man Power, Curses, Tolouse, Low Trax and many more and has gained a solid following, whilst doing some genuine good for the world.
Frankfurt based pair Le Jeune Flück are the latest to join the ranks of Sinchi’s artists. The duo have been collaborating together since 2013 and have recent release on Dionysian Mysteries and clipp.art. Here they offer up the superb ‘Unexpected Ends’, a rolling arpeggiated affair that comes on like the love child of Giorgio Moroder and Underworld. Incandescent synths and ethereal drifting melodies provide the perfect soundbed for the distinct half sung / half spoken vocals creating a track that is hard not to love.
The first of the remixes comes from Israeli producer, Disco Halal label boss and general don, Moscoman. His remix journeys into glitchier electro territory with a real sense of wonkiness and some seriously driving percussion. Next up, Sinchi deliver their own mix that taps into the otherworldly with its cavernous FX, and off kilter electronic vibe. Finally Mexican artist and Duro co-founder Theus Mago takes things into a chuggier realm with a cosmic mid-tempo workout that is divine, a perfect closer to an outstanding package.

PREMIERE : Le Jeune Flück - Unexpected Ends (Theus Mago Remix)

Like a predator stalking its prey, she surveyed the room with her piercing blue eyes, looking for a potential suitor to hold her attentions for the evening. Her reputation preceded her but her beauty was so much so that it blinded them all to the hair raising tales told about her. How could one so graceful, one so poised and elegant be capable of such things? As far as they were concerned, if she wanted them, she was welcome to them.

Four years after the release of their acclaimed debut LP 'An Animal Orchestra' for Inside Out Records, producers Stavros Potamitis & Constantinos Parisinos AKA After Altamont call on the skills of several talented artists to reimagine the tracks from the release. Featuring on all star cast including MR TC, Gina Breeze, Zombies In Miami, A Strange Wedding, Anatolian Weapons and our pick from Salon des Amateur affiliate Tolouse Low Trax, the remix package takes the psych rock, Greek folk and soulful dub sonics of the original and twists them into slow, hypnotic, trance-inducing grooves.

INDUSTRIA #3 is the 3rd vinyl release combining all tracks not yet released on Vinyl from Compilation #1 + #2. Including The Lunacy Of Flowers (Robi Insinna Versions), SASM, Silent Servant remix, Robi Insinna’s Hard Work 2020 Dub, Nik Colk Void Remix and some Dub versions.

Side A starts off with Robi Insinna’s version of Your Way by The Lunacy Of Flowers. The Lunacy Of Flowers is a one man post-industrial act from London. Robi Insinna added and reworked the original version. 

Next is SASM – Democracy and Collective Action. SASM is a new collaboration project by Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb) and Robi Insinna. Under that banner the collective interests of both Insinna and McCarthy in raw beats and sharp edge funk are laid bare. It shows the depth of knowledge and interest in the underground.

Robi Insinna’s Hard Work (2020 Dub) is the last track on this side. The original Version was on IND001 blue limited edition Vinyl.

Side B starts with the Dub version of Your Way by The Lunacy Of Flowers. It was done in a real style dub session using an analog mixer and external reverbs, effects and tape delays.

Silent Servant remixed SASM – Democracy. Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant is a producer and DJ from L.A. He added his apocalyptic culture aesthetics, capturing the youth-driven mutation of crossover electronics. The remix feels like a wired Alan Vega / Nitzer Ebb track from the early 2000's that does not exist. 

Nik Colk Void remix of Democracy by SAMS is the next track. Next to her solo work she is part of Carter Tutti Void and Factory Floor. 

The last track on this side is Collective Action (Rockers version) by SASM.
