Transitions with John DigWeed - Best of 2016

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

American-in-Berlin Ambivalent returns with another precision peak-time EP. Now ten years deep into a body of work released on some of the most influential labels in techno (Ovum, M_nus, Cocoon, Kompakt) Kevin McHugh has chiselled a signature in the core of the techno DNA database. And hes done so while remaining fresh, energetic and hugely creative for DJs. As proved, once again, on Ovum.

Easing us into his hectic analogue hurly burly gracefully, Substantia taps into deep pools of reference,conjuring connotations from May to Amé as the slinky bass almost purrs with plucked charisma and the evangelic synths rise with exulting cadence.

From here we plunge deep into the techno abyss with the vast and thunderous Reversion. Powered by asonic snow-plough of a groove, staccato elements are densely laid to create a blurring sense of confusion, the bigger the system, the better this one gets.

Last but not least its a dark, heads-down affair as McHugh reminds us of his roots and repertoire. Closed is a fantastic techno groove where concrete beats are softened by a perfectly shaped acid line that fluctuates with subtlety and funk. Joined and intertwined with a twinkling arpeggio, the hypnotic allure is irresistible.

Incisive in its delivery, analogue creativity and groove clarity, each one perfect for the colder, club-focusedmonths ahead, Ambivalents signature just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Joeski & David Herrero - Rise Up - Maya Records Preview

Intec is known to many a fan of House and Techno as a scene leading label set up by the iconic Carl Cox who has been at the forefront of DJ culture since the early 90’s.

With a roster of artists including the label boss himself plus Nicole Moudaber, Jon Rundell, Marco Bailey, Carlo Lio, Cristian Varela and Dosem amongst many others of a similar calibre.

Intec welcomes back Irish born Ian O'Donovan who has featured music on labels including Drumcode, Bedrock, Connaisseur, Tronic, KMS and Planet E. Making his second release on the label, Ian who is known for his inventive and individual production style presents four original tracks on this solo release.

First up is the tribal groove of “Seeker” which fuses fast flowing percussion with a rolling bass line to create in infectious groove. Already full of energy, the frantic lead synth helps create a sense of urgency that’s instantly captivating and perfect for the dancefloor. Peak time Techno at its best this track should also appeal to fans of House who are looking for something with a little extra bite.

The second track titled "Curium" is led by the pulsating bass line and busy clap rhythm that intertwine with the rattling congas and rising chords. Get ready to put your head down and punch the air with excitement, as this potent slice of Techno will have you out of your seat and dancing round the room.

Third on the release is the deep pads and pitched toms of “99” that despite being the most laid back track on the release still packs a punch. Simple in structure, it’s a fine example of less being more, and the dramatic melody which builds into a held chord adds an extra layer of tension. Master crafted with just a touch of chic, this is Techno at its most classy.

Finishing off the release title track called “Tomahawk”. Arguably saving the best till last, its muffled chords contrast gritty textures with the overlaying glide of the lead synth. Getting more complex as it develops, the tracks epic structure has a slightly cosmic vibe, soon brought back to earth by the hard hitting and heavy percussion, which combined can only be described as peak time Techno with an emotional edge.
