Great Stuff Grooves Vol. 8

Great Stuff Recordings

After releasing dance floor devastating tracks for Intacto and KD Music we are excited to welcome the Toronto based Sean Collier on Great Stuff. Collier presents two relentlessly grooving modern techno tracks in the form of Great Stuff Grooves Vol. 8. 

Track number one &#8220;Corduroy Pillow- finds Collier in top form. Monotone percussions, incessant, pumping bass with hypnotizing FX and haunting but full of funk vocals make this track a peak time sure shot.

The rhythm programming of &#8220;Felina- is in a way more playful but just as intense. The snappy beats and percussive sound patterns accentuate the ghostly vibe of the track perfectly. The overall energy of this track will make it a highly effective weapon for any dance floor combat that might await.

Sean Collier makes his first appearance on Transmit with the aptly titled &#8220;Low Light&#8221; EP, which is clearly geared toward all the headz out there. We are introduced to sick territory from the get-go with busy snare edits going hand-in-hand with psychotic effects and warped vocals, while rumbling subs pave the way for a simple, persistent synth stab that dominates the rest of the track. Moving on to &#8220;Jig Is Up&#8221;, things get even more murky with a sparse arrangement that lets the gaps get filled with shadowy effects, creating a totally dubby vibe. Closing up is &#8220;Hazard Pay&#8221; and follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessors with bubbling, rolling bass and gloomy chords taking center stage as they get mangled and progressively build up. A strong breakdown gives us some air to breathe and the now-trademarked spacious fx add to the cavernous mood.

Juan Ddd - Casa En La Playa (Original Stick) Cut

Mainground Music returns with a techno EP from Colombians Juan Ddd and Smilk. Their remix for Belocca’s big tune "Way Of Thinking" left him wanting more from the guys. Their energetic grooves and sizzling baselines combined are the basis of this 3 track EP. A sure winter weapon on any loud system for the holiday season!

Emerging in 2012, Leftwing & Kody have become regular fixtures in Beatport’s Top 10, releasing on the likes of Knee Deep In Sound, Hot Creations and MadTech when not on their own Lost Records imprint. Receiving regular support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Nic Fanciulli, Carl Cox, Maya Jane Coles and Hot Since 82, the pair’s studio abilities are irrefutable, making them likely artists for the next release on Steve Lawler’s VIVa, whilst also getting signed to VIVa’s management roster to boot.

First up, ‘Pursuit’ delivers sinister samples, whirring atmospherics and a viscous bassline signature to the Leftwing & Kody sound before ‘What You Do To Me’ employs rattling percussion and offbeat stabs until a lengthy drumroll ignites into an infectious groove. Tying it all together, ‘Keep On’ is a bass focused number complete with a looped vox, echoing effects and a compelling rhythm.

Balance EP

Premiere: Peppelino - Balance (Sean Collier Remix)

Brazil’s Volkoder releases the ‘Prospective’ EP on Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars, featuring 3 solid house

tracks.

Having appeared on the likes of Material, Snatch!, Kittball and Suara, Marcos Benedetti’s talent as a

producer is indisputable - even been tapped to remix the likes of Kerri Chandler and Guy Gerber. It’s

therefore unsurprising that Volkoder’s productions have frequented the sets of Jamie Jones, Catz n’ Dogz

and Tube & Berger, not to mention Lee Foss who’s now inducting him into his Repopulate Mars roster.

‘Prospective’ immediately builds the energy levels with a popping bass, intoxicating vocals and consuming

drum arrangements before ‘For Me’ opens up to echoing soundscapes and emotive vox edits, making it a

tune impossible to stand still to. Finally, ‘Fools’ introduces fragmented percussion above a high-octane,

pulsating bass line as clanging claps and a looped voice keep listeners locked in.

Volkode ‘Prospective’ EP drops on Repopulate Mars on 18th November (12” & Beatport).
