Short Tracks Dec13

Receiving the baton from label head Stacey Pullen, Spain’s David Herrero steps up to the Blackflag plate to deliver a double-thick package of dancefloor crushing techno.
A standout favourite of Pullen’s in recent years, Herrero is an industrious beatsmith whose issued cuts on labels such as Defected, VIVa Music and Monza Ibiza Records and garnering the support of Loco Dice, Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin, along with the Detroit legend of course. It’s this sharp form that’s seen him play a succession of heavy-hitting gigs everywhere from Japan’s heady temple of techno, Womb, to Toronto’s iconic Footwork and Space in Miami. 

Over three tracks, his debut EP for Blackflag Recordings highlights his versatility as a producer and continues the label’s growing reputation for showcasing the rich vein of talent coming from Spain skilful techno Armada.

‘Maybe Someday’ kicks the release into gear with the kind of punchy, muscular techno that shakes with an cutting industrial vibe and is the kind of weapon you can imagine the masses loses their collective faculties to at Music On when the sun starts to seep into Amnesia’s famous terrace. 

Herrero approaches things from a different standpoint with ‘The Frogman’, the cut mixing up bouncy basslines in the intro that lead into the mother of all groove-driven techno workouts; relentless, hip-lashing and impossible to listen to without getting a case of twitchy dancefloor feet. 

Proving his sonic dexterity, ‘They Tell Me’ is the plump, drum-heavy roller crafted thick with tribal percussion and thick smoky atmosphere and makes the perfect compliment to its more up-tempo accomplices. 
“David Herrero is no stranger to our label because I personally love his sound and many of his tunes are in rotation in my sets. With so many new and young producers out nowadays, David's productions and tracks standout with his signature sound. Some melodic, some groovy, and some are just plain funky. I’m very pleased to welcome him to the label.” – Stacey Pullen

Francesco Rossi 'Paper Aeroplane' (Tong & Rogers Le Grand Bazaar Remix)

Shaun Reeves, one member of the Visionquest power force, teams up with good friend and industry veteran Alexi Delano for the next release on the label with two solid cuts that are deeply mystifying and hypnotic while packing plenty of groove for the dance floor. Title track ‘The Breeze’captures the senses with warm, dubby synths flowing and rippling throughout, evoking a sense of melancholy enhanced by Charlotte Carter-Allen’s vocals, while ‘The Mistral’ rides with a deep chugging bassline as the mesmerising vocals float and echo through the deep vortex. Over on the B-side, one of Visionquest’s favourite producers, the highly respected Thomas Melchior aka Melchior Productions Ltd is proudly welcomed onto the label to remix ‘The Breeze’, adding his unmistakable groove and distinctive percussive patterns. This is certainly a package not to be missed.

Born in Chile, raised in Sweden and later adopted by New York, Alexi Delano now lives in London. Over his two decades in the industry he has developed a style, which combines the heavy compressed Swedish sound with the vibrancy of the creative music scene in Brooklyn. Releasing on established labels such as the historic SVEK, Plus 8, Minus, Drumcode, HProduction and many more.  Now in 2013 Alexi Delano is finalizing his 6th album “The Art Of Collaboration” for the Swedish Techno label H-productions as well as relaunching his own record label AD Limited whilst continuing to write original pieces for a string of projects.

Hailing from Detroit where he ran parties booking the likes of Magda and Dan Bell, Shaun Reeves has now lived in the techno city Berlin for the past nine years. Playing at all of the top venues and parties in the world on a relentless touring schedule and spending every spare second in the studio, Shaun’s dedication to the job is second to none.

Thomas Melchior is well respected as a solo artist and as a duo alongside Baby Ford under the moniker Soul Capsule, releasing on the likes of Perlon, Playhouse, Smallville and a:rpia:r. Earlier this year they rereleased the classic ‘Overcome Ø Lady Science’ with smashing results.

All of us here at All Day I Dream have been super excited about this release for months. Not only does it contain the gorgeous original mix from Maher Daniel and Jon Charnis that has been melting ladies hearts all summer long but we also have quite a superb remix. Luca Bacchetti's Endless label is one of our favorites here and it was only a matter of time until we knew we were going to (gently) prize something special from his musical soul.  

His remix has caused a little bit of a stir. We've been bombarded on a daily basis with requests for it. Well, for all you bombarders, it's finally here. Initially we only sent it out to a tiny handful of friends and family. Dixon and Ame both played it in Panorama Bar on  the same night, and it's been a staple track in Lee Burridge's sets all summer. It never sounded better than at Burning Man festival this year and those lucky enough to have been there will attest to the mystical journey it weaved as it meandered out of the Robot Heart bus's perfect sound system and across the playa. One of it's most memorable moments, so far, for sure. Now it's time for you to create your own magic with it. The hardest decision you'll have to make is deciding which mix to play. Dream on dreamers

All Day I Dream

Maher Daniel & Jon Charnis "Lonely Stars in Open Skies" Luca Bacchetti Endless Remix

Known as one the most adventurous promoters in New York, Eamon Harkin has cultivated something more than mere parties. Mister Saturday Night and Mister Sunday (nee Sunday Best) are the stuff of legend. Great music on a great system, in a great space. IIt’s a party put together by Eamon & his partner Justin Carter, gents who understand atmosphere, who bring more than a flash drive full of digital promos to set off the dancefloor.
Harkin’s devotion is evident. In addition to a busy schedule of parties in Brooklyn, he’s taking MSN to Chicago and London in early 2012 as well as doubling down in the studio. Following several collaborative singles and remixes as Harkin & Raney (Throne of Blood, Wurst Music Company, On The Prowl), “Rigor Music” is Harkin’s first ever solo EP of orignal material. A brand new label based on his long-running parties is also in the works.
“Electric Light” is nothing if not confident. Expansive without feeling overblown, the song’s build-up is matched only by the dubby subterranean stomp of the Brendon Moeller's (Deep Space/Mule Electronic/Rekids/Steadfast/Throne of Blood) dub mix. On the reverse, Harkin toughens up the proceedings. “Rigor Music” is a propulsive acid track that feels classic without staying utterly beholden to its predecessors. Unsurprisingly, the Roman Flugel mix closes out the single in a storm of snarling synths, snares and speaker-shaking bass.

The digital version of the Rigor Music EP also includes “Electric Light” (Brendon Moeller Reshape) as an exclusive bonus track.
