Continuing a busy 2013 after Ultramajic's inaugural release "Hot Inside" as well as debuts from the elusive Aden and Creepy Autograph, Jimmy Edgar returns to his own occult-inspired Ultramajic imprint with the Mercurio EP, three tracks of throbbing sampladelia as undeniably robotic as they are irresistibly funky.

Ultramajic has lofty aims, uniting Edgar's twin passions for ritual magick and meditation while focusing on developing new artists and a new personal sound. Having just wrapped up a summer of touring his collaborative JETS project with label partner Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum, Mercurio suggests a restless energy honed by enthusiastic crowd response to the martial beats. The title track "Mercurio" is a flurry of competing crescendos and fractured vocal samples over a bulbous bassline. "Qlinda" is equally celebratory, utilizing microtonal shifts in the stereo field and exuberant sampling before morphing into a half-time ooze. "Ultraviolet" highlights Edgar's special skill with modular synthesis  to craft an electro-tinged jack, machines on the edge of collapse.

With artwork by longtime collaborator Pilar Zeta, Jimmy Edgar continues to play with new age philosophies and esoteric inspirations in the deluxe, hand-crafted packaging for the label's releases.

Edgar will highlight these new tracks as he continues to tour in 2013, including performing as JETS at Decibel Festival and Mutek in Mexico City. Edgar's full remaining tour dates can be seen below:

JIMMY EDGAR "QLINDA"

With the latter half of 2013 being dominated by a flurry of activity from the newfangled Ultramajic imprint, Berlin based label founder and scene veteran Jimmy Edgar reflects on the growing discography by remixing 'Whip', a standout track from the burgeoning canon.

With the original cut having garnered early support from the likes of Boys Noize, Loco Dice and Scuba, Edgar flips the the dub sensibilities and Chicago style
vocal chops off the elusive Aden into a proper New Jersey house joint, teaming with exuberant keys and irrepressible bounce.

Set for release at the beginning of 2014, it prefaces EP's from the likes of Sophie (Numbers / Huntleys & Palmers) and Danny Daze (Hot Creations / Plant Music).

This mix was cut onto 6 dub plates, spliced together and remastered in December 2013.

Featuring many @Ultramajic exclusives.

Berlin, Germany

RA : 401

Red Axes have just dropped the recording of a very special 5 hour set in Room 2. Now available to stream, this exclusive recording from this time last year is a deep-dive into the staple sound of the punk-edged duo.

Made up of Tel-Aviv Based producers and DJs Dori Sadovnik & Niv Arzi, Red Axes have been more than catching our eyes and ears over the past few years.  So much so, we’re keen to share our passion for the duo elsewhere, even taking them to other venues such as Village Underground for another special extended session earlier this year.

The pair have roots in rock music and begun their creative collaboration when they were in a band together. So perhaps it is unsuprising that today, their electronic music projects delve into a sound that roams through psychedelic electronica, post-punk and new wave elements, often dipping into a retro rock and 80’s hued sound that first fuelled their sonic spark.

Catch Red Axes in Room 1 on 19th November alongside Desirée, DAR DISKU, O.BEE B2B Tomás Station B2B Jonny Rock & more: https://ra.co/events/1593952

007 - Red Axes - Recorded live from fabric

This set was recorded at Melt. I closed the Big Wheel Stage after Tale of Us and I played mostly techno stuff. It's a bit unusual in me but I had lot of fun. Thanks to all the people that showed at the Big Wheel Stage for my set and danced until the last track.

Basement Melodies

Echoes of Light

John Talabot is the acclaimed Spanish DJ and producer who has brought a real sense of melody and occasion to house and techno. The Hivern Discs boss, as well as releasing a standout album in ƒIN, and fine collaborations with Axel Boman and Pional, is also an in-demand remixer celebrated for being able to create majestical grooves from originals by people like The xx and Shit Robot. He has also put together a stunning DJ Kicks mix and now he has been in the booth again, putting together a typically epic podcast for our on going series. 

Across the course of one and a half hours, the Barcelona based Talabot lays out his musical modus operandi in all its glory: serene house riddled with melody, dreamy pads and wavy tones that speak to the soul. With a rather blissed out and dreamy undercurrent, he slowly works through house old and new and keeps a strong, compelling groove present and correct at all times. Officially entitled "Post Summer Melodies" by Talabot, this mix is full of just that, and is sure to keep you warm long after the sun has gone. 


Dekmantel Podcast 033 - John Talabot

Futuristic-funk starchild, Jimmy Edgar, returns with the third single to be taken from his recent album, Majenta, out earlier this year on Hotflush. This time Edgar shoves his free-spirited sexual appetite in your face, with a slice of stripped-down, upfront electro-funk complete with J.G. Ballard-inspired lyrics of car-crash sexual fetishism. 

Alongside the original album cut, two alternate takes are reworked by a pair of producers at the very top of their game: Jon Convex and John Talabot. Whilst Talabot creates an eerie and downright epic re-imagining through his combination of Amazonian electronics and volume manipulation, the Convex cut enhances the dance floor potential of the original with bubbling, arpeggiated 303 bass.

Release date: 8th October 2012

Jennifer Cardini b2b Gerd Janson @ Paris X Berlin - 10 Years ARTE Concert 110819

CENTER YOURSELF is a podcast series curated by Robert Johnson. Each episode is created by one of our regulars—some are made for this occasion and some are hand-picked from the club's own archive.

"Recorded at Robert Johnson on the 8th of November in 2014, this mix is a mix (tautology!) of ambient appetizers, typical starter records, dance floor advances, introspective interludes and a slow approach to debauchery that followed. Or to be intellectually more lowbrow or honest and to prevent a sophomore essay about the art of the warm up: music that sounds good at the start. Thank you for listening." Gerd Janson

Center Yourself 16 – Gerd Janson

#savethenight was initiated by Jägermeister to support clubs, venues and artists in difficult times due to COVID 19. I made about 80 remixes in the past 20 years. 24 of them became part part of this 2h mix.
Thank you for listening!
