Konstantin Sibold - Mutter

Hitting the music press headlines recently was news of a second Floorplan album.  Now M-Plant delivers a first taste of this highly anticipated release with two tracks from the album, ‘Music’ and ‘Tell You No Lie’.

Floorplan is already well known as Robert Hood’s house, disco, funk and gospel outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair with co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric.  ‘Victorious’ will be the second Floorplan album and follow-up to 2013’s ‘Paradise’ which spawned ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’.

Set to replicate the success of ‘Paradise’, ‘Victorious’ will be released in June.  To precede it, the single released at the end of April is comprised of the bumping house groove of ‘Music’ (which received it’s first global airing on B.Traits’ BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra show in February) and the disco rotations of ‘Tell You No Lie’. 

Both tracks are exceptionally infectious, with tough beats, glorious vocal reprises and sure not to disappoint.

As Selador reaches it’s 3rd birthday, co-founder Steve Parry makes his artist debut for the label with a track that’s set to elevate his status to the next level. 

Following up the recent success of his massive ‘Flippant’ track on Bedrock should not have been an easy task but Steve has effortlessly created another accomplished peak time anthem that has already sent tongues-a-wagging amongst the lucky few who’ve managed to get their hands on a copy. 

Whereas ‘Flippant’ was most definitely an ode to his love of authentic acid house, ‘Apricity’ shows off his melodic side with it’s arptastic lead synth doing most of the damage atop a pulsating bass and roof raising arrangement. 

On the remix front, Brazilian Techno Maestro, Victor Ruiz, Portuguese Tech House grandee, Joal and the latest house music poster boys, Ki Creighton & Makanan all out-do themselves making for a package so fierce, it registers on the richter scale. 

Crafted from 25 years of DJing experience. Quality guaranteed. Watch it fly. 

Team Selador - Reach for the lazers!

Cleric - 2nd Limit [CRG003]

It's a sumptuously savage entry to the mix CD's ranks and tracks from Mike Denhert, Marcel Fengler, Jimmy Edgar and Audion will have you flailing with intent. There's an exclusive cut nestled in the mix from the big man himself entitled 'Where Haus' and we've got the first spin. This one should come with a warning. 

The kick drums are out of this world, the drops are devilish and the breaks although short-lived, provide that much needed respite from the ferociousness throughout. Not for the faint-hearted but if you want your techno hard and unrelenting, Alan's served up a pearler.

Dense & Pika’s latest Drumcode release comes in the shape of a heavy four track EP, ‘Calf EP’. The four tracks showcase Dense & Pika’s signature industrial and dynamic style, each track bringing its own unique sound to the release whilst being unified by the sledgehammer intensity throughout. The release is laden with sporadic vocals, clanking samples and serious kick drums throughout - another heavy hitting, ear whipping release from Dense & Pika.

Pig&Dan are happy to welcome Dutch sensation SQL to ELEVATE with his OBSTACLES Ep.

Renowned for his uplifting and melodic brand of techno, the young producer from Amsterdam has seen his music signed and a released by the likes of Funk D’Void (Outpost), Ramon Tapia (Say What?) and Secret Cinema (Gem). With the ELEVATE bosses already huge fans, the excitement is almost palpable for the release of Obstacles.

The title track is an atmospheric spine-tingler, with its percolating beats and escalating orchestral synth. Blunt Instrument more than lives up to its name, with its guttural throbbing bassline and pounding kickdrum. A straight up dancefloor weapon. The third and final original sees SQL matching warm but strong beats and bass with a chiming and charming xylophone melody.

This tantilising trio are backed by a titanic remix from chart topper Enrico Sangiuliano and Secret Cinema. The pair join forces on Obstacles, reworking the original into a summer festival anthem.

Skober delivers two phat tracks that’s have been road tested by Christian for several months. “Butterfly Effect” is a musical techno affair that works perfectly to change to mood in a rocking set. “Keep Calling” is a tough housy groover that uses a female vocal sample in the break. Both tracks work a treat. Give them a try and see for yourself!

April 25th sees 1605 Music Therapy chief UMEK welcome one of the biggest names in UK house and techno - Toolroom Records head honcho Mark Knight. The man needs little introduction having become a name synonymous with the rise of the underground over the last decade. He's crafted countless classics, built a burgeoning label himself and after all hat the Maidstone man still shows little sign of slowing down any time soon. Knight's debut on 1605 follows the much acclaimed fourth edition of the 'Bullets' series, a release led up by 'Fall Down On Lee', as well as a notable collaboration earlier in 2016 in the form of 'Rocket Man' with House legend Cevin Fisher.

MOUTH TO MOUTH 10:

The original single came about during a very productive week for me. I made 5 songs in in 7 days right before one of the early DEMF festivals in Detroit. There was a great energy being shared by a lot of artists then, and I had just returned from a two week tour of Europe where I was ingesting so much new music. I sat down at my studio in Detroit and tried to recreate what I was hearing in the clubs. Mouth to Mouth was the stand out track of that session, and I made the entire thing in a few hours. I recorded it mostly live, tweaking and building the synths and muting/unmuting the channels in real time and just recording the result. I cleaned it up a little bit afterward, but left the length and overall arrangement intact. I remember playing it for a few people right away and it was clear something special was happening. There is something meditative in the simple repetition and slow build of it all. 

For this remix package, I chose every remixer. I went to my close friends, favourite remixers, and people I have always respected. There is such a diverse spread of talent with these artists, I knew every remix would be completely different. Each remix represents a different side of techno, which is where all of these artists come from. Everyone put a piece of themselves into this, and I'll forever be grateful to them for contributing to the project.

Slam/@paragraph | Significs EP
[SOMA459D]

1. Structure
2. Significs
3. Functional

Slam deliver yet another on point release for Soma as the duo drop the Signifies EP. Stuart and Orde have been on fire of late with not only their releases doing the damage but with a string of gigs across the continent and their own Pressure events in their hometown of Glasgow going from strength to strength, the pair seem unstoppable at the moment. This latest EP once again shows great depth in their production going from hard- hitting techno to stripped back and jacked up machine funk.

Structure kicks things off and Slam state their intent on this one as one mean sounding hook plays the main role alongside fairly punishing drums. Title track Signifies is up next with yet more intelligently made patterns used a little more subtly but with no less impact. Functional closes out the EP and takes things a little deeper with is simple yet effect and pumped percussion striding across a tweeked out vocal sample.
With this huge release, Slam once again maintain their claim as being one of the most innovative acts in electronic music right now.

"I can't quite remember where I was when I first heard this masterpiece from Matt Dear but it resonated with me instantly. And judging by how many DJs got behind it "Mouth to Mouth" was destined to become a classic. The 10 year anniversary is quite special for me not only because of how timeless and relevant the track remains, but 2006 was also the year I branched out as a solo artist. So thank you Matt for the inspiration and I hope my take on it complements the original masterpiece." - Dubfire

As well-received as Audion's debut album—the sawed-off techno of Suckfish—was back in 2005, Matthew Dear's alter ego didn't assert its dominance until the following year. That's when Richie Hawtin slipped Audion's next single (the anthem-on-arrival that is "Mouth to Mouth") into the closing set of Detroit's Electronic Music Festival, pulling the pin on the weekend's most explosive moment and leaving everyone wondering what the hell just happened. 
Which was kinda the point. Dear wrote and recorded "Mouth to Mouth" right after a two-week tour of Europe, and in many ways, its hypnotic rhythms and signature bee swarm hook—cut in real time over the course of a couple restless hours—are meant to replicate the rush he felt in many overseas clubs.

"There was a great energy being shared by a lot of artists then," explains Dear. "I remember playing the song for a few people and it was clear something special was happening, something meditative in the simple repetition and slow build of it all."

The side-long single has stood the test of time, too, enough to warrant another look along the ambitious lines of Mouth to Mouth 10. The double pack reveals how one track can take on a life of its own in the hands of eight distinct producers, keeping its core intact without being afraid to manipulate the record's overall mood. So while Riva Starr's mischievous version sounds like it could be dropped in the middle of a sweaty Horse Meat Disco set, Dubfire lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike; and Dense & Pika crank up the chaos like a pressure cooker set to self-destruct.

"I asked everyone to treat their remix like a cover," explains Dear, "letting the theme guide them rather than the parts. Everyone put a piece of themselves into it, and I'll forever be grateful to them for contributing." 

He can also breathe a sigh of relief, for Mouth to Mouth 10 marks the end of Audion's first chapter and the beginning of what's to come with his long-awaited second LP this summer.

Having been on the scene for over a decade, Wehbba has actually released a ridiculous amount of music. Labels like Tronic, 82 Recordings and Systematic have acted as a home for the artist but his forthcoming work on Padley's is some of our favourite to date.

The title track does the business but fellow Brazilian ANNA has served up the remix and it's more of the excellent same we've come to expect from the chart-topping producer. ANNA's seemingly got the golden touch and when she's not climbing the Beatport charts she's getting booked all over the world.
