EM004 - De Grandi & Realitycheck - Low Heat

Winter is behind us and the days are slowly getting longer again, yet this low heat season continues. Climates fluctuate, heads hang low; but enough heat remains to keep the motor running. The cycle goes on.

Icey drifts & fire sirens, De Grandi (Paradoxe Club) & Realitycheck (Renascence) share the wheel on this fifth Electroménager release.

De Grandi - Energy Blitz (Heat Mix)

Second single taken from upcoming mini album 'YES.DJ'.

Pre-orders of vinyl, digi & limited edition book are AVAILABLE NOW at our bandcamp : temet.bandcamp.com

On 21st September the rising French DJ/producer Simo Cell presents new mini album ‘YES.DJ’ – his first solo record since 2018 – released on his own label TEMƎT. A celebration of dance music culture, each of these heavy-duty, titanium-plated bangers are a tribute to different styles of beats, reinterpreted and suffused with his distinct personality.

The release also comes with a fanzine, which continues the celebration of DJing and dancefloors from a sideways perspective, curating photos taken by Simo of drinks tokens from clubs around the world.

And here we are, after all is said and done, right at the dawn of club music’s reconstruction era. Granted, listening to dance music these days comes with a weird, two-faced sense of longing: a) for careless times before the world shut down, and b) for a (hopefully) near & ecstatic future, that’s, however, in desperate need of new ideas, sounds, and rave ethics.

In this sense, the Little Princess EP on Dekmantel by Cologne-based producer and DJ Jondo feels especially of the time. Each track draws elements from the hardcore club trajectory, but reassembles them in song-like arrangements that work just as fine in any headphone or home listening scenario, without ever falling for the self-serving traps that people mean when they talk of “deconstructed”.

Of course, none of this was intended. The tracks on this EP were created between pre-pandemic London, Berlin and Cologne in April 2019 and January 2020.
The A-side has Jondo team up with Maxwell Sterling, double bass player, producer, and master of dense soundscapes. Both had been fans of each other’s releases for some time, when they eventually caught up and locked down in a London flat, packed with a Digitakt, a bunch of VSTS, an autotune pedal and Maxwell's double bass. For Jondo, the real-life aspect of their collaboration has been key, as those tracks present a process of consolidation between two musical minds who tackle their craft from entirely different angles. The results are two sprawling, dynamic pieces, grimly titled “Dunkelziffer I” and “Dunkelziffer II” (the German term for “dark figure” has been ubiquitous all year, describing the looming undertow of a much higher number of infections).

The opener’s dimly lit, RPG-like atmospheres remain drumless all the way, giving a nod to the expansive compositions of Maxwell’s long-time collaborator James Ferraro. "Dunkelziffer II”, on the other hand, is a full-on club affair, whose complex grooves and muffled drums get disrupted midway through the track by a set of icy synths, only to break open and trade every bit of rave energy for a comforting ambient variation on the lead melody.

The B-side “Whowhuwho" sees Jondo create a powerful piece of instrumental-grime-turned-quasi-jungle alongside DJ Plead, an Australian producer with Lebanese roots, based in Berlin.
The track is a perfect canvas for their shared love of intensely percussive jams, as glimpses of Diwali-style handclaps, dubby delays and classic breaks drive the track forward.
On his remix, Russian techno prodigy Moa Pillar warps the already minimalist lead synth into an even more sparse yet effective dancefloor weapon.

Jondo curated and finished all these team efforts with the same care and curiosity that inform his DJ sets, as well as his A&R process at Spa, the label he runs with Friday Dunard and DJ Brom. (Given the chemistry between these 4 tracks and the people involved, it comes as no surprise that Spa has put out releases by everyone featured on this record.) Just as in his sets, the Little Princess EP proudly exhibits all of Jondo’s musical roots – but instead of sticking with one style, tempo or formula, he innately trusts the music to let it take us into unexpected territories, time and time again. Buckle up and enjoy the trip.

Nashville-based producer @jasoncode makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with a three-track EP of high-octane, freewheeling bass and club music.

Originally hailing from Seattle, Jason has become a fixture in the Tennessee dance community in the past ten years as part of the Terminal 8 crew, booking acts like Nikki Nair, ELISE, Kush Jones, and Leonce among others.

Following a string of self-released projects in 2020, Jason brings his unique style to Scuffed, incorporating elements of breaks, bass, UK garage, and more.

Opening with the title track, ‘HOT!’ sees Jason contrast bouncing chords and gleeful vocal samples with a lurching bass drop and clattering breaks.

‘City 17’ ups the tempo with wonky arpeggios veering over a fierce kick drum, and eventually developing into a shuffling, speed garage-esque beat.

‘Decisions’ closes out the release, jumping between eerie vocals, pounding kicks and skittish breaks to further build on Jason’s signature sound.
