Proud

The Square

The next PAS release comes via Mote-Evolver and it's three tracks of intergalactic techno sludge. It's dark, dingy and as industrial as a factory that makes robots designed to wipe out the human race.

We've got the premiere of 'Arc' and it's probably the gnarliest track on the EP. Both menacing and pulsating from the off, there's a wall of static in the background throughout and a breakneck pace that doesn't let up. Big.

Premiere: Planetary Assault Systems 'Arc'

Following on from the fervour and turmoil of last year’s “Your Charizmatic Self” EP, Night Slugs executive producer Bok Bok teams up with composer and keyboardist Sweyn Jupiter on a romantic new double A-side single. 

“Papaya Lipgloss” is a song about young love. 


Bok Bok + Sweyn Jupiter - Papaya Lipgloss (Club Mix)

This was supposed to be the conclusion to "Dear Moleskine".. recorded some time back in London. Oh well.. Write your own tale of depression and eventual redemption! Best of luck! 

Moleskin Conclusion

Jay asked me to hold this for him and Jeezy. Ross did something with it. Chris Brown wanted it badly but couldn't find the right vocal flow for it once we got in studio. Canei wanted to pass it to Cole, but it was held up by someone else who actually cut me a check for it. Then it ended up just sitting, and I was weird about playing it for folks. Everyone who heard it thought it was amazing but couldn't come up with a song to it lol. Understandable though. There's a LOT going on. S/o to Canei on the godly piano riffs that are different each time throughout the entire track. Man.. 

 I may do this more often. If you're going to attempt to rap on it, be respectful and rap good. 

Miracle.

House Of Black Lanterns is the latest musical project from Dylan Richards, the man behind the King Cannibal and Zilla monikers (on the Ninja Tine and Warp Records labels respectively).  With an album and two singles out in 2013 on the highly respected Houndstooth label, Richards returns with a deadly EP for Hypercolour, backed with a very fine Mosca remix.  

In its Original Mix, ‘The Smack’ is a dense and atmospheric production, the slow pace and chugging bassline evoking shades of early Chicago house but with a thoroughly modern UK twist.  Filled with tension and drama, ‘The Smack’ is a big sounding record that cuts through so many genre sounds from dub techno to dubstep but sounds entirely individual and unique.  

Mosca steps up to the remix, following on from the launch of his new label Not So Much, and remixes for Alland Byallo and Sweatshop Boys.  Taking ‘The Smack’ up to an altogether skanking tempo, Mosca plummets the Basic Channel school of sound for the aptly titled ‘Dread At The Controls’ version.  Spring reverb all over the joint as Mosca works the droning synths and fire & brimstone vibes over a watertight, dub heavy workout.

‘Grey Leather Glass’ takes things up a notch, continuing the HOBL theme of dark & shadowy techno sounds with heaps of drama and sinister twists and turns, like some cinematic score to a Wes Craven slasher epic, and ‘8 Million Stories’ cuts up vocal chops, finger snaps and piano stabs over a brooding house production.   Deliciously dark music from HOBL here….

Twenty Questions

Ivy Lab - Twenty Questions [CRIT080]

Featured here: http://hyponik.com/features/gary-gritness-brings-sleazy-g-funk-to-hypercolour/

Gary (who also goes by the name Slikk Tim) hails not from the streets of Detroit, Oakland or Atlanta, but from the post-industrial city of Nancy, France. While he might be a relatively new name as a producer, he’s got plenty of experience as a session musician for the likes of Dâm-Funk and Orlando Voorn, as well as having played for Los Hermanos, the project headed by Gerald Mitchell of Underground Resistance.

Indeed, it was Voorn who introduced Gary to Underground Resistance’s Mad Mike, who helped get him his first deal on Clone Records. Now Gary’s newest slice of futuristic electro funk – The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1 - is being released on Hypercolour next month.

The EP’s not out until 1st April (no foolin’) but we’ve got the exclusive premiere of the lead track, ‘Preachin’ Some Tight Game’. A super-groovy blend of fluttering jazz chords, silky caramel bass, and raw drum programming courtesy of Gary’s trusted 606. Topped off with a squiggly little G-funk melody that’ll worm its way inside your skull and set up shop for the spring.


First Listen: Gary Gritness - 'Preachin' Some Tight Game' (Hypercolour)

Gary Gritness - Working Girls

Taken from The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol.1, released on Hypercolour on April 1st.

Gritty modern funk from Gary Gritness, aka Slikk Tim and drummer for CF favourites, DopeGems. Cosigned by UR's "Mad" Mike Banks, Gritness has previously released music on Clone and My Love is Underground, and now drops four analogue funk monsters for the UK house & techno label, Hypercolour.

From dark to sweet, the funk is prevalent over all four tracks. We're happy to share Working Girls, the sweetest cut for us.

PREMIERE: Gary Gritness - Working Girls

With two releases already under his belt on Clone, Gary Gritness AKA Slikk Tim lands on Hypercolour with “The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1”.

Gritness may be a relatively new name on the block, but his session work for artists like Kenny Bobien, Louie Vega and Grant Nelson has marked up this multi-instrumentalist as a clear talent.  Hailing from France, Gritness had been spotted by Underground Resitance’s ‘Mad’ Mike Banks as ‘one to watch’, and on his Hypercolour release, displays a deft hand of producing futuristic funk sounds. 

A spot on blend of raw drum programming and blissfull jazz funk riffs, “Preachin Some Tight Game” sets the EP’s tone just right with its infectious melodies and cruising groove.  Darker 1980’s soundtrack vibes are explored on “Stayin’ Strong Hand” with its thick analogue atmosphere, whilst the laid back and freestyle vibes of “Working Girls” demands to be played in the Cadillac with the top down!  EP closer, “Fly Shit”, continues with the tranquil melodies and G-Funk factor.

JunoPlus on my Geeeman rmx for Low Jack:

"The Geeeman take on “Slow Dance” is what you’d expect if you’ve indulged in the two Jack For Daze releases thus far, slipping the tempo up for an irresistably corroded jacker." 


LOW JACK - SLOW DANCE (GEEEMAN REMIX) OUT NOW ON GTC!

With the sun poking it's head out from behind the clouds here in London we're well and truly feeling the summer vibes at Madhouse HQ, and what better time to unleash this laid-back vocal groove from Jay Ennès & Troy Denari?

Projecting a total beach feeling from the Netherlands is surely an almost impossible task, but producer Jay Ennès and vocalist Troy Denari have managed it, serving up "When You Say This" to lead you into beach and barbecue season!  Troy is a name to remember, with forthcoming collaborations with Kerri Chandler in the wings (more news on that soon).

We're pushing your expectations a little with the remixes on this release, and first up we've drafted in Applebottom from our sister label Madtech, whose "All Nite" release in January gained much acclaim.  Applebottom has taken a cut & paste approach to the vocal, while electronic synth bass and beats drive the mix on.  Plenty of switches in this one to keep things interesting.

Friend of Madhouse Steve Mill teams up with his sometime production partner Elias Tzikas to transport us back to the late 80's / early 90's on their remix.  This one is straight out of the "nu disco" camp , building throughout towards a house piano accompaniment to complement the vocal towards the end.

Pep & Rash's rework is straight up UK Garage with it's trademark swung beats working perfectly around Troy's vocal.  This one's another ideal summer track - expect to hear this in the resorts in the coming months!
