Breathe (Shane 54 Extended Remix)

March 2017's "Lost Again" once again saw Canadian Tim Penner at his vibrant best. With its beautiful melodic phrasing and glorious vocal layers, the title track was a highlight in Proton Music's release schedule, going on to see remixes from Subandrio and Simos Tagias. As Yin and Yang now return to the EP, two new interpretations from the USA and Russia provide renewed anticipation.

Operating out of the Moscow capital, Serge Tolstov has discovered a rich vein of form with his Stendahl production moniker. From the fertile Russian soil that has produced so many high-profile underground dance producers, Stendahl is another artist achieving great success on the global stage with support from such leading lights as Armin van Buuren, Chicane and Above & Beyond. A professional pianist, his passionately crafted work quickly became a favorite with leading labels including Statement! and Enormous Chills, sub labels of Armada and Enormous Tunes, while some 40 production credits for Silk Music have witnessed a host of high-profile hits that have seen collaborations with Japanese icon Shingo Nakamura and Indonesian superstar LTN. 

Making strong use of the vocal content so fundamental to the original, Stendahl has created a sublime bass-groove that provides the perfect vehicle for an intricate percussive groove to sit atop. Tim's beautiful melodic sequences reveal themselves at the breakdown and a raft of additional production material sees Stendahl create a thumping dance-floor gem.

ALLEY070
OOVATION, YOACHIM Open It Wide

001 isolation
002 open it wide
003 open it wide rauschhaus remix
004 open it wide movement machina remix

German and Polish talent combines across the borderless line of electronic music – Oovation and Yoachim join forces in a sonic collage that warms the soul with analogue beauty and haunting vocal lines as the duo "open it wide". A hypnotic arpeggio sequence slices through an urban soundscape, industrial in shape and arrangement; stark German architecture provides chance patterns of rhythmic mastery that loom large in solid concrete form. In "isolation", a musical trope entrances with simple majesty. A growling bass rises up in waves from below, the infinite shades of grey from cold inland water mesmerise as low frequency grows into powerfully filtered white noise, the waves crash against steel walls.

Carefully deconstructing sonic components, Rauschhaus reconstructs with laser precision into new aural form. Emotive and multi-faceted, stratified layers of sound emerge in skyscraper strength; foundations built upon the delicate strength of metronomic kick and percussive cadence. The 'key' to success is anchored in new vocal treatment and golden shimmering synth line. Cool Finnish authority combines analogue and synthetic in a brave new world, the bold sonic palette of Movement Machina 'opens wide', transforming the landscape around. Pulsating melodies converge in silky counterpoint while juxtaposed rasping bass rumbles across the horizon in distant menace. Repetitive vocal phrasing provides sonic identity caught on the breeze above the sprawling city below.

Looking down upon the city, everybody feels the same inside, joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, strength in isolation opened up wide.

Submood / Klunker
Mononoid, Dan Sieg

Reaching out of the Los Angeles skyline into shimmering heat haze, Dan Sieg returns to the familiar surroundings of Mango Alley with "Submood / Klunker". Rhythmic prowess provides a strong foundation as resolute beat frames all and percussive hi-hats draw lines that cross in intricate patterns – the steel girders that bind the city together. A melodic trope flows in "Submood" – repetitive sequencing creates a seemingly simple pattern that replicates itself in ever-evolving patterns; modern architectural design faces out towards the city, its pattern playing tricks of perspective in the consciousness of passers-by. Innovation supplies the mechanical underpinnings of "Klunker" as jagged edges and synth lines that cut like arc-welders into the sonic infrastructure. Creating an auditory collage of multi-faceted texture, beauty emerges in clever manipulation of the audible form.

Dutch precision informs a new perception of "Klunker". Never alone in a sprawling metropolis, Mononoid create a vibrant sonic architecture from a monument of modern art. Refracted colours create synesthesia in aural form as a new rhythmic groundwork provides the basis for an original interpretation to rise out of themes that are the central pillars of Sieg's structure. Intelligently revisited in understated precision, a new direction sees rippling arpeggios spiral in hypnotic patterns, shining like sun reflected across a wall of glass. Consistently referencing the original with care and consideration, Mononoid are Dutch masters of all they survey, their sonic building blocks creating a vision of modernity and dynamism in their precision-engineered work.

Music drifts across the city of angels looking down on steel cathedrals that sparkle and glisten.

Tokyo's Yunosuke Senoo aka Lycoriscoris presents ‘Flight’, his first album released via acclaimed UK label Anjunadeep. In recent years Lycoriscoris has developed a reputation as one of Japan’s most exciting young producers, releasing two albums on local indie label Moph Records and performing live alongside acts like The Field and Mortiz Von Oswald at Tokyo’s legendary Dommune. 

With influences ranging from the dreamy soundscapes of Boards Of Canada, to the jazzy glitch of Shigeto, Senoo's subtle fusion of organic melodies and futuristic electronic production has won support from the likes of DJ Koze and Michael Mayer, who released his ’Transient EP' on Kompakt sub-label KX in 2015. Senoo made his debut on Anjunadeep in 2016, contributing a track to the iTunes #1 Dance Album ‘Anjunadeep 08’, before following up with the 6-track 'Drop EP' in 2017 which has since notched up 1 million streams. 

Over its 8 tracks, ‘Flight’ sees Lycoriscoris explore the full range of his emotional melodic sound. From the intricate textures of ‘Kite’ and orchestral groove of lead single ‘Flight’, to the haunting ambience of ‘Far’ and dramatic crescendo of ‘Stella’, Senoo weaves together a spellbinding tapestry of detailed soundscapes and lush electronica. Senoo also provides imagery for his cinematic sounds, with the album artwork and music video for ‘Flight’ comprised of imagery shot by the artist himself in his native Japan. 

‘Flight’ is the latest in a string of notable artist albums released on leading electronic label Anjunadeep, following on from Moon Boots’ debut LP ‘First Landing’ which topped the KCRW album chart and picked up over 50 BBC Radio plays, Cubicolor’s ‘Brainsugar’ which has amassed 32 million streams, and ‘Tuesday Maybe’, the sixth album from legendary duo Way Out West which topped the UK Dance Album chart.

‘Flight’ is set for release digitally and on vinyl on Friday 25th May 2018 via Anjunadeep.
