Tough Guy Music Playlist #22

Album CD: www.einmusika.com/produkt/jonas-saalbach-perspective-album-cd

The future can be near or far away. Love can be tactile or beyond reach. This sound comes out from the window straight across the street - or is it just in your mind? It’s all a question of your perspective. Is something right or wrong, is it near or far, is it peaceful or not? Jonas Saalbach likes to play with all those possibilities. With his new album he tries to catch the perspectives of electronic music. Sometimes wild and free like in “Aerial Perspective“, sometimes controlled like in “Herzsprung“. After his debut album “Ancient Lake“, the Berlin based producer is bringing a versatile mixture for the club and for the festival season. Wide open soundspaces and long lasting melodies building the ground for something special. It’s upon your perspective, if this one is a journey through the electronic music history or a fiction of the upcoming sound of the season. “Pull On The Strings feat Morina Miconnet“ is one of those special tracks, you can enjoy in the car while driving to the ocean or drive deep into the vibes on the dancefloor. Let’s “Play With Birds“ and get an idea of passion and energy in perfect collaboration. So intense and cosmic - a typical Jonas Saalbach tune with a unique signature. The perspective on “Nightwalk feat Amber Long“ can be different. You can dance to a dark and moody track or find warm and organic synths playing. “Bonnie“ has a tight clap from the very beginning and it brings you a balanced mixture of bleeps and noises, overlined by a mystic synth part. There is so much more to discover on this beautiful collection. Let us take you on a trip to the moon with “Nomads“. Starting so calm and bringing you second by second to a restless journey. Are you still watching the earth from above? Or is your perspective different?

Perspective

Jonas Saalbach - Pull On The Strings feat. Morina Miconnet

Artist: Julian Wassermann @julian-wassermann
Title: Lyra
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT196
Release: 2017-07-14

1. Sol
2. Lyra
3. Sirius
4. Argon

Munich Based Julian Wassermann glides in between his usual areas of musical dexterity, blending Deep Techno and Electronica into a souring four-tracker.

First of the lot, Sol, offers up a fluid melody dotted with acidic synths. Evident from the get go, the track bears a clear cinematic underpinning, a common mark throughout the entire release. All elements are geared towards elevating the overall experience, resulting in a highly emotive and captivating piece.

Hazy atmosphere is the main theme in Lyra, a towering tech house exploration featuring misty vocals and zippy synths. It’s a construction that sustains a light headed tension, equally immersive and spellbinding thanks to the airy vocal chops.

Lofty moods meet fiendish ambiance in Sirius, a whirlwinding cut fit for late night antics. Evoking a surreal, dungeon-like setting seems to come easy to the artist, who balances out light and obscure on the entirety of the EP.

Argon is not just a noble gas, but in this case a high strung slice of techno, powering through with arrays of metallic synths and an upbeat melody. Edgy elements combine with arching synths and snappy bites, building up a perfect dancefloor weapon to round the release off in style.

Stephan Bodzin: a classically trained musician, vastly experienced producer and master of melody. He has built a reputation through countless releases under many aliases, and through his dramatic and dynamic live set capturing the hearts of fans worldwide. For Afterlife, Bodzin bottles the infectious energy of these shows into two epic, colourful landscapes of sound, “Strand” and “Catamaran”.

Following his first contribution to the label in September - a mesmerising remix of Tale Of Us & Vaal’s ‘Monument’ - “Strand” elevates this fitting relationship to the next level. The release contains a true anthem from Bodzin’s and Tale Of Us’ sets in ‘Strand’ and a more restrained effort in ‘Catamaran’. Both dream-like compositions are unmistakably Bodzin, taking the listener on a journey and brimming with the synth wizardry he is best known for.

Tracklist:
01. Thomas Schumacher - Stella (Original Mix)
02. Thomas Schumacher - Persistance (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
This is the final release in Thomas Schumachers break out Natural Rhythm trilogy on Noir Music. Not only did he position himself on the top of the charts with the first two releases but he also put his name straight in the spotlight and into the dj-sets of many of the top players in the techno scene.

So whats the next move when you have great success and peoples attention ?For both Noir Music and Thomas Schumacher its a no-brainer; You take it one step further and keep challenging yourself and your audience.

The opener Stella on this release is an example of just that. A very emotional string-led track accompanied by relentless techno beats, distorted arppeggios and a big cinematic break to make you pull your hair out from pure joy (i know i almost did).
Persistence is a mesmerising acid-journey that digs deeper and deeper in its intensity as it evolves into one of Thomas Schumachers signature breaks. Then the track takes an unexpected turn through a more complex, dynamic rhythm before resolving back together with its contagious 303 theme.

Its another 2-tracker from Thomas Schumacher where I feel I signed two a-sides as he just keeps making quality music the way only he knows how. It puts a smile on my face every time I play these tracks in the clubs around the globe and I hope it will please your ears as well.

- Noir

The second track will be premiered on @decodedmagazine tomorrow friday 24.11.

mobilee195 - Rodriguez Jr. "Baobab Remixes“
Evidence Of Time (Claude VonStroke Remix)
Radian (Audiofly Remix)
Baobab (Tim Green Remix)

After the recent success of his much anticipated album, Rodriguez Jr. and Mobilee bring us Baobab
Remixes. Claude VonStroke, Audiofly and Tim Green have stepped up to produce three unique
adaptations that flow explicitly and reinvent the album tracks.
Incorporating a delectable “huh” and graceful piano, Claude VonStroke has excelled with his interpretation of
An Evidence of Time. Animating the original with an emphatic bassline and unyielding timbres, whilst paying
homage to the original with the mid-way breakdown. Audiofly have reconstructed Radian with their discernible
sound. Their remix strips down the original, migrating through hypnotic synthesis, steadily building then fading
to silence. Keeping the original kick a prominent feature, Tim Green ’s rendition of the title track Baobab shines
through. A hearty techno beat forms the basis of the minimalistic roller.
Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke has had an incredible year with his longstanding label receiving Mixmag’s
Label of the Decade award back in July. Aside from touring the globe, Audiofly recently claimed they were
“ exactly where we want to be as djs and performers ” when the duo made their debut appearance at Burning
Man this year.

Release Info: 
Danito & Athina bring their special blend of exotic soul and groove electronics to the plate in four original tracks on the Feather of Zeus EP.

'Dionysos' starts off as a straightforward Techno exploration, swiftly entwined with lively percussion and ethereal strings. Its a formula that combines the dance appeal of groovy elements and the aptly crafted House and Techno soundscapes that are specific to their style.

Channeling placid percussion and a serene melody, 'Feather' sets a peaceful tone through an inherently minimalist, yet highly engaging composition. 

Named after a paradisiac Greek island, 'Kos' stirs up easygoing atmospheres atop a playful melody. Restful bird trills and a grave vocal add another dimension to the quixotic tableau. 

'Zeus' rings in a familiar construction with neatly layered textures. Whether its zig-zagging synths or a fizzy bassline, theres a simplicity that permeates and prevails at every step.

PREMIERE: Danito & Athina - Zeus (Original Mix) [Stil Vor Talent]

Beatport: https://is.gd/uAiXRC

One of the U.K.’s hottest rising talents, dubspeeka drops a 3 track journey on Get Physical Music, ‘Reflection’. A three-part journey told from diverse perspectives, dubspeeka starts by taking us into a place where dancing bass melodies moan as ambience builds and the fire starts to grow. The bass hook drives on, swinging between the beats, holding down the groove and not letting loose any time soon. Reflections 2 tells a tale of delicate Intricacies, twisting and winding as they float over a smoky landscape of slumbering giants. Tension builds as the peaks come into view. Gradually the thick ocean of atmosphere sweeps us away… but, like a torch in the black night, the fire burns on. This is your new secret weapon. For the final part, dubspeeka applies pressure and a fistful of stormy techno nuances to create a primal driving force that delivers exceptionally well for anyone looking to stay off the beaten path of contemporary club music.

Piem, Yamil - The End (Original Mix)

Beatport: https://is.gd/FtB6IN

Originally released on their long awaited album ‘Double Fantasy’, ‘Hi End’ features the soul-burning talent of South Africa’s Nonku Phiri. And of course the remix fairy has come to visit once again. Blond:ish and Re.You are on board, as well as a rework from the boys themselves. The M.A.N.D.Y. rework takes the track form its original downtempo swing and gives it a healthy dose of energy, turning the track into a dancefloor heater with a satisfyingly deep crunch. The lovely ladies of Blond:ish take the track in a similar direction, building on the vocal elements and thick ambience to create a warm and dreamy version that will still move the bodies on the floor. Re.You then gives the track another hit of tech house love with rhythmic synths holding the tempo on top and releasing plenty of energy to shake the even the coldest of floors till the sun rises.

Martin Landsky - Treat Me Bad (Gorge Remix)

Marco Biagini, the creative force behind Kellerkind, takes on an astral approach in his EP Cosmic Dancer, which includes four original tracks and one rework.

The title track kicks off proceedings in a skillfully dynamic manner. Fueling up a lively atmosphere from the first bars, the melody takes shape with the help of tribal infused percussion. A soothing vocal adds to the mix, layering up to a highly strained peak point with a highly anticipated release.

'Take Me Down' offers a bassline-heavy soundscape, with chopped up vocals and an array of undulating synths. Unveiling element by element seems to be Kellerkinds speciality, as he whips up compelling constructions that unfold gradually. 

On 'Metropolis' the instrumental takes a backseat, leaving centre stage to a wailing female vocal. Mysterious yet gripping, the voice adds slabs of depth, instilled as well by the artists use of glitchy effects to articulate the tune. 

'Conjunct' dives into the same ambience as the title track, consolidating the overall celestial mood. The piercing vocal highs and rumbling lows of the drum lead combine to a nostalgic yet inspiriting effect. 

Newcomer Felipe Puertes spins 'Cosmic Dance' into a stripped down, percussion-heavy alternative to the original. Lightly treading vocal chops lend the track a deeper side, while subtle bass gives more energy to an otherwise rapid pacing track.

Monaberry #42
Upercent – Moments EP

◆ Facebook: facebook.com/upercent
◆ Soundcloud: @upercent

Goodbye 2017, hello future! Monaberry proudly present their final release of the year with the one and only Upercent. New to the label but no stranger to our record collections, the Valencian artist has made a name for himself over the last few years on labels such as Diynamic, UponYou, Snatch!, Sincopat and Culprit among others with a spell-binding sound that’s consistently rich in emotion and hypnotically heavy in weight… A sound that fits the Halle house label perfectly.

Proof is in the listening; ‘Fastic’ is an eight minute mystical movement that ripples with layers and dynamics. The shimmering percussion, the bluesy guitar twangs, the far-away vocal yearns, the gentle enveloping ebbs and flows with elements of tribal, tech and prog and fat dollops of cosmicity.

‘Badarra’ flips the groove coin with a much denser bass/kick relationship. Palpitating, pumping and progressively developing momentum element by element, key transition points include the molten chimes, the scattering percussion, the strange humanisations and the black hole breakdown that sucks deep deep deep into the silence before catapulting you back into the insistent pumps and added Spanish strums. Weighing in at almost nine minutes, once again it’s an open and shut case of full immersion. And Monaberry wouldn’t have it any other way.

What a way to sign out for another exciting year in music. See you in the future…
