Shocked by the essence of ‘macabre’, Swiss multi-instrumentalist and producer Jimi Jules refers to the first surviving animal sent into space in his upcoming EP “Ham The Monkey”. With a speed of 4,500 km/h, the four year old monkey “Ham” was the first living being fired into the atmosphere. A journey against his will.

Jules reflects the feelings and sounds felt from being trapped and out of control throughout the tracks - notably in “Grumpy Monkey” and
“Tinnitus". Continuing the development of interplay between the artist and listener whilst endeavoring to blur the worlds of sound and art, the EP features evolving imagery created by digital artists Claudia Rafael and Pascal Wiemers.

Visionquest have made a big impact in their first two releases on the imprint from Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves. Now they fill up the dancefloor with light on ‘Dark Song’ EP from the compelling Tale Of Us.

Engulfing the listener in a luscious wall of sound from the onset of ‘Dark song’, Tale Of Us take an abstract and harmonious approach to their music. Understated beats and yearning vocals stretch the imagination to new heights in a new strain of house music engaging the senses through warm tapestries of sound.

Using similar low-end whispered sounds that resonate in a deep place, ‘Circle Of Love’ is a magnetic slice of dancefloor music. Its skipping beats and rippling bass enthralls but it’s the sensual vocal that gives ‘Circle Of Life’ a special edge and adds an element of mystery. ‘Valiant’ completes the package with an epic dose of bubbling beats and pads, inventing a masterpiece hybrid of techno and deep house leaving you spellbound.

Tale of Us are Berlin-based DJ and production partnership Karm and Matteo who are currently re-writing the rulebook for deeply moving, emotional electronic music. Together they share a sonic vision that pulls together elements of house and techno with influences from pop, nu-disco and even rock music. While all of their productions are instantly recognisable as Tale Of Us, these range from straight-up dance floor jams to low-slung ambient tracks and more abstract compositions. While both originally hail from North America, Karm was born in Toronto and Matteo in New York, they moved to Italy as children, which is where they met and formed the close working bond that they now share.

At present they are based in Berlin, an inspirational frontier, which has given them numerous opportunities to build relationships with fellow musicians who share their unique musical outlook and resulted in this special Visionquest release. Prior to this, Tale Of Us tracks could be found on labels such as Barraca Music, Cocoon' and Life & Death (the Tale Of Us remix of Thugfucker ‘Disco Gnome’ on Life and Death was hailed by Mixmag as one best records of 2010) and have put out various remix collaborations with fellow Visionquest label mates Shaun Reeves & Ryan Crosson. They play the WMC Visionquest party on Friday 25th March 2011. For more artist info visit:www.myspace.com/taleofus

IV104 - Skatman - Rewarped
Release Date - 02|06|2023
Digital | Stream - https://lnk.to/Rewarped

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new series at Innervisions called “Quantum Spits”.
House music has been around for decades, and throughout its evolution, it has spawned numerous sub-genres. “Quantum Spits” aims to explore and celebrate this diversity by dedicating each release to a particular aspect of this thing we call House. 
Our goal is to provide a platform for both established and up-and-coming producers to express their unique take on house music while also paying homage to the roots of the genre.

We are kicking off the series with Skatman, the Tunisian-born producer, DJ and label head. On „Rewarped“ he slams old school hip-hop samples into some raw and pumping house tracks, providing a fresh and up to date connection between these distinct musical eras to deliver six new cuts of raw concise electronic music. 

“Taking familiar elements and giving them a fresh twist,” says Skatman aka Aziz Haddad.

Itʼs that time again – Workparty 3 is here!! 

&ME opens the new cycle, thatʼs projecting the state of play within the Keinemusik-camp, with his very own version of autogenic training. Hearing these soothing vocals, one might mistake this for some kind of floor-séance. But, of course, “Everless” wonʼt let you sink into deep relaxation. Au contraire – its percussive core comes likes a swarm of hungry hornets, converging as an Acid-Drone and its relentless pumping groove cuts through within cleverly modulated peaktime-passages. 

Next in line, Adam Port gets in touch with his percussive fetish once again, pushing into new dimensions with the appropriately named “Drums on Parade”. Port seems to find himself in the middle of a military parade, avoiding all overstated rigor through revealing hints of Jazz and some serious shaker-temperament. As the centrepiece of the arrangement, youʼll find a drumsolo that never loses sight of its goal. Thanks to Ports effective and dynamic buildup, we're treated to yet another floor wrecker from the label boss. Hold tight! 

Rampaʼs collaboration with Hollis P. Monroe opens the flipside with a more mellow affair. Monroeʼs Canadian buddy Overnite croons his take on post-breakup-blues over a straight-up and deep arrangement thatʼs seasoned by lashing claps and some mild synth-flavor. Overnite, the wise man that he is, doesn't wallow in whiny melancholy, capturing every glimpse of hope he can get, he delivers some of the catchiest vocals you will meet this season accompanied by a soul-fueled House-anthem. Destined for the twilight hours of all the coming open air parties. 

David Mayer's productions never seem to indicate the current position of the sun. Most at home in the cellars, bunkers and basements, they are most potent when in an environment with little natural light. We can revel in his technoid bounce and studied rhythms. "Jewels" already a classic Mayer. 

Enjoy!

For the next release on their Monaberry Records imprint, German duo Super Flu have prepared a grooving two-tracker with an afro house-inspired tone titled 'Really Really' - set to drop on May 3.

Ahead of the release, Super Flu has handed over the EP's title track to Mixmag. It's a gloriously paced and busy track that is driven by sharp synths, adolescent African chants and playful production tricks.
