Mano Le Tough - Primative People (Tale Of Us Remix)

http://www.mixmag.net/music/exclusive-music/prem-royksopp-maceo-plex

Maceo Plex's remix of 'Sordid Affair' is a textbook Plex edit.

Deep, powerful and synth heavy, this could well be the best Royksopp edit we've heard all year and is certainly the perfect way to say goodbye.

PREMIERE : Tom Peters - Two Of Us (Soul Button Remix) [Selador]

For its 225th release Freerange welcomes this exciting Austrian producer who goes by the name Demuja, you already know him if you follow closely LYO. His "Mary Janes Theory" record caused something of a stir when it came out at the start of the year on his fledgling vinyl-only label Muja. Taking his inspiration from classic deep house but with a rough and raw approach, Demuja sit proudly alongside the likes of Ross From Friends, Mall Grab or Rimbaudian riding the new wave of fresh, contemporary house.
On his Freerange debut, the Move EP offers up four original tracks, each with their own distinct flavour. Opening the release we have title track "Move" spring into action with simple Rhodes chords floating across a crisp, driving up-tempo groove showing off the deeper side to Demuja. Next up "B.o.o.m" offers us a simple yet captivating, dancefloor-focused affair with a lone, repeating piano stab hooking us into the action. Flipping over we have "Into My Brain" which brings some acid-tinged Italo vibes and a jacking beat to proceedings whilst the closing track "Turn Me On" cuts up a much-loved Paradise Garage classic for a warm, soul-infused slice of classic, bumpy house music.

Next up with their debut release on Hot Creations’ sister label Emerald City are former college roommates Josh Taylor and Justin Jay. An energetic track full of bounce and edgy samples, Pussy Pop is an ideal addition to the label’s young venture. Bringing his signature dance floor rhythm, Jamie Jones has delivered high quality on the remix with a fun acompaniament to the original.
 
Josh Taylor began his musical career in his hometown of St Louis, Missouri. Starting out as an acoustic pop artist strumming at his ukulele and songwriting, his laid back attitude (and discovery of nightclubs) led him down a path of exploration through music genres. His unique approach to writing hooks and basslines is apparent across the board, from his band The Cozy Boys to his previous collaboration with Justin Jay on the exceptional Fantastic Voyage album.
 
In response to how the two of them came to collaborate, Justin answered “When we were roommates in college, Josh opened me up to the world of singing and songwriting through his jams on the ukulele while I started dragging him to clubs and warehouse parties. He inspired me to take a stab at my own singing/songwriting and I pushed him to try DJing/production.” 
 
The head of his own label Fantastic Voyage and one of the youngest producers to release on Dirtybird, Justin has already seen success that extends beyond his years. With an array of fruitful releases under his belt, the LA based producer/DJ has received support from the likes of Claude VonStroke and Disclosure, boasting “Future Star” recognition by the influential Pete Tong. Justin manifests his soul, funk and jazz routes in a forward-thinking manner that yields his unmistakable house tracks.

Influencing the electronic landscape since 2010, Hot Creations has gained notoriety through pioneering a new and unique sound. Also recognised for tirelessly pushing boundaries of house, techno and disco across it’s ever growing and innovative catalogue. One hundred releases later, the label is stronger than ever, celebrating with a mammoth EP from co-founder Jamie Jones.

An ultimate summer jam with elevating synth lines, Sound of Music is a cover version, originally released by Nookie and features chart topping artist Katy B on vocals. Kooky Chords is a dance floor bomb, with melodic breakdowns sure to set any dancefloor on fire. Next, Positive Pressure features label favourite Kevin Knapp, deep and gritty, the bassline swings with spacey layers. Last up, Parallel Universe is a deeply infectious chugger with vocal cuts.

“I'm so honoured to be releasing the 100th record on Hot Creations. It’s been an incredible journey to reach this point and I can't wait for the next 100. As I opened up with the first release on the label, I thought why not start the next 100 on the same foot.” - Jamie Jones

Co-founded with Lee Foss, Hot Creations was the start of an empire, which went on to include sister labels HOT TRAX and Emerald City. Jamie also runs Paradise at DC10 in Ibiza, standing today as one of the most popular nights on the island, it enjoys a close connection to the label.

Remaining at the forefront of the dance world, Hot Creations continues to break new talent and play host to well established producers. Releases have come from artists such as Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed, Route 94, wAFF and Roisin Murphy amongst many others including pop group Hot Natured. Critically acclaimed albums by Miguel Campbell, Digitaria, Popof and Phil Kieran have all been highlights on the label. Reaching this impressive milestone, it seems only right that Jamie Jones is the one to deliver the 100th release.

We are very excited to present “Soloft” as the debut of our FM4 Unlimited Matches series: a collaboration between Colipher (the alter ego of Sebastian Kargl, multi-instrumentalist of Austrian indie band Catastrophe & Cure) and Tobias Koett, singer and head of Berlin-based rnb electronica project Ant Antic. In their first cooperation, dating back to a time when they were sharing a flat in Vienna, the two friends conjure a magical world of melancholy, where dance and pop don’t contradict each other but coexist in a wonderful symbiosis. “Soloft” is living proof that a song doesn’t need to be wrapped in kitsch and cluttered arrangements to immediately get stuck in your head: Tobias’ distinctive trademark vocals will get you hooked right away (and stay with you forever), while hazy harmonies and fluffy synth sounds gently wash over the crisp low-ends of a rumbling bassline. The minimalist instrumentation and subtle groove leaves enough room to breathe for every single sound in the arrangement, and the vocals seem to be floating effortlessly over a warm and organic texture of elaborate synth work.

Munich-based duo @RhodeandBrown aka Friedrich Trede & Stephan Michael Braun are back on fellow German label @ToyTonics for another EP. "B tru 2 u" marks the producers' fifth release over the past four years for the ever-popular imprint. It is testament to the label's belief in their artists that they can have consistent releases from a regular roster of producers who call the label home, such as Coeo, Black Loops, and of course Rhode & Brown. Just as the imprint's sound has evolved over the years, so has that of the pair of producers, who began their journey with Toy Tonics on release number 008 and are continuing it today, sixty three releases later with number 071. From more jackin', upbeat tracks to moodier, deep cuts to balearic sounds, the duo continue to develop their sound and put out music that they are feeling in the moment.

For this particular EP, Friedrich and Stephan got the raw ideas for it down while vacationing on the island of Zanzibar. On our premiere and the B2 on the record 'Iruzu Jam', the island vibes are readily apparent. From the conga and exotic percussion instrument rhythms to the bright strings and vibraphone loop, a sunny atmosphere is definitely being evoked. A simple, low, rumbling bass really solidifies the tune and makes it perfect for a beach-side set. Perhaps, if just for a few moments, this song can help us forget about the upcoming dreary weather and bring with it some of those warm summer feelings that already seem so far away.

Release Info: 
Nicolas Masseyeff & Oxia's Diversions label slinks and slides its way into your 2018 with this deliciously groove-laden triplet from Madrid's Miguel Lobo with Oxia himself on the remix-duties

'Physical Things' bubbles and rolls with a shiny bass hook that taps deep into an ageless, heads-down, hip-swaying sense of hypnosis. With added texture coming courtesy of a crucial spoken word sample, this one locks your floor in for the long-haul. 

'Feelings' continues to build on the timeless, rolling sense of groove-kissed positivity. Just on the right side of chunk and funk, there's a deep drive coded in every nuance that salutes three house havens at once: NYC's sass, Chicago's bumps and Ibiza's sexiness. 

Finally Oxia rolls in with a pristine remix of 'Feelings'. Maintaining the flared percussion and deep-swinging allure of the original while adding several layered arpeggiated tendrils and emotional chords, he's highlighted all the best bits and added his own unique, narrative twist. 

Spacious, timeless, beautifully groove. Let us know how you're feeling…

About the Ep:
From an ancient city split in two by the Rhine, Danito & Athina have risen majestically out of their Cologne home with a distinctive sound that has captured the hearts and minds of fans and peers alike. Describing themselves as "connected souls tuned as one", the charismatic German pair now make their debut on Darin Epsilon’s imprint Perspectives Digital with the magnificent "Pontos" EP.

Weaving a magical spell for over two decades, Danito has found his predominantly techno and tech-based work signed to a host of high profile imprints. Partners for several years, Athina adds another dimension to the pair’s work as a respectable producer and singer/songwriter in her own right. No better is this musical alchemy illustrated than on a host of prestigious imprints that include Stil Vor Talent, Crossfrontier Audio, and Plattenbank, supported by a DJ elite that includes Solomun, Hernan Cattaneo, and Oliver Koletzki.

Now debuting on Perspectives, "Pontos" is a wonderfully crafted track whose intricate percussive groove combines organic elements with strong, evolving rhythms. A dynamic bassline plays a central role and a shimmering arpeggio pans slowly across the stereo spectrum to add a delicious melodic layer. Modulated pads and a counterpoint lead impress further. Partner track "Satori" retains the same rhythmic prowess as its predecessor. A melodic collage sits atop with pin-sharp precision as subtle motifs and chord progressions play off each other to sublime effect. The result is a track that evolves delicately to an imperceptible zenith by the latter stages.

Accompanied by a single remix, two icons of the underground dance scene join forces to rework the lead track "Pontos". The combined portfolio of famed Spanish producer, D-Formation, and legendary French producer, Rick Pier O’Neil, is in the thousands and features on such leading labels as Suara, Toolroom, Yoshitoshi, Platipus, and Sony. The duo return to Perspectives Digital after remixing "That Vibe" by Roger Martinez, which went on to become one of the label’s highest-selling tracks of 2016.  Their remix of "Pontos" is a dynamic, growling affair that immediately shows its dancefloor credentials with a heavy techno beat and shuffling hi-hat percussion. Using the bassline theme so resonant in the original as a central pillar, D-Formation & RPO’s remix erupts with a huge searing lead line that cuts through the mix like an acetylene torch through steel. Pausing for breath at the midpoint, the LFO siren of the original is used to create a rousing crescendo for the track’s denouement to play out in electrifying fashion as rhythm and melody combine in glorious harmony.

👉 Please support: show some ❤ and repost or leave a nice comment when you like this track.

To be with or without
To embrace the cycles
On both the ups and downs
To carry happiness in a can
When it's all you have

And your responses is all that matters
Like spreading jam, on stale bread
When there is nothing else to eat
Savoring it with a naughty smirk
An acknowledgement to God

A rebellion of the meek
Life is a bowl of topsy turvy
I've had enough of the curve balls, please
Can you throw one straight at me, already?
Enough of this eternal tease.

Run Away EP

Run Away

PREMIERE: ALMA (GER) - Run Away With Me (Original Mix)[Magician On Duty]

Long-standing Exploited artist Joyce Muniz returns to the label with a killer new track, featuring vocals from Circus Company talent, Aquarius Heaven. Continuing the brooding feel of her recent output, it looks set to do big things.

Aquarius Heaven’s warped vocals make for the perfect accompaniment to Joyce’s electro-infused techno production, where jagged synth arpeggios rub up against her sharp and snappy percussion and bass hovers menacingly below. It’s got a big room feel thanks to its rasping reverbs and dramatic vibes, with moments of real intensity as the synths swell and the percussion becomes more insistent. A powerful yet spacious production, it punches hard in all the right places. 

A remix comes from upcoming LA techno producer, Shaded, who recently enjoyed support on John Digweed’s Transitions radio show. Powered by undulating waves of sub bass, it builds up from a minimal patchwork of bleep tones and intricate percussion to incorporate the dizzying synth work of the original and the bugged-out vocals. It keeps a low profile, inducing hypnosis via its consistent, insistent slow-burning energy, making it one for the more heads-down dancefloors.

Joyce recently released on DJ Hell’s International DeeJay Gigolo Records and Culprit, and produced British pop star Little Boots’ new single Shadows. She will also release a very special remix of a Paul Simon track via Sony Music later this year.

Early Feedback:
Ewan Pearson: Love love the original of Chapter 4. Awesome.
Maxxi Soundsystem: This is wicked. Looking forward to testing. 
Perel: Original for me.
Upercent: Great track.
Tone Of Arc: Original for me. 
Ruede Hagelstein: Cool one.

Pulsinger & Irl - So Many Ways

The metaphor of life as a journey is deeply embedded in most cultures. But it’s
particularly apt for Joyce Muniz. Born in Brazil, she moved to Vienna in her teens and now
splits her time between there, where she has her studio and a show on national radio station
FM4, and Berlin. She started her career as a DJ and MC at Vienna’s Flex club, then found
fame as a vocalist, touring alongside Major Lazer, before dedicating herself to
production, supported by labels such as Exploited, Get Physical, Kompakt, Permanent
Vacation, International DJ Gigolo and Pets. Most recently, she took her music on theroad,
performing live with different orchestras across Germany as part of the Synth
Live project, the first woman to join them. All this is alongside continual DJing,
recently touring Australia to tick off playing every continent – bar the
less-than-club-friendly Antarctica.
In 2023, her second album ‘Zeitkapsel’, German for time capsule, retraced many of the steps
she’s taken, while also launching her Joyce Muniz Music imprint. ‘Never Brushing
The Sound’, featuring British MC Le3 bLACK. echoed the trip-hop and downtempo
that surrounded her in late ‘90s Vienna. The d&b of ‘Bangalore Girl’, supported by DJ
Marky, recalled the music she first MCed over. And ‘Imagine’, fronted by iconic
vocalist Roland Clark, reflected the deep love of house that inspired her to make
music. The biggest hit, however, was ‘Arrivederci Bella’. A jacking love letter to
electro house, but also a break-up track, it featured Muniz rapping in Portuguese, the
first time she’d used her own voice since her baile-funk-inspired outings in the mid
2000s.
The album’s cover, part surrealist painting, part visionary experience, reflects an
accompanying spiritual path. Diagnosed with cancer in her early 30s, Joyce returned
to Brazil and her experiences with plant medicines reconnected her to her
grandfather’s shamanism. This rebirth reconfigured her attitude to creativity and life.
When Covid hit she explored the breadth of her music making – resulting in
‘Zeitkapsel’ - and sharpened the technical skills that make her a go-to workshop host
for Native Instruments. She also completed a Bachelor's Degree in radio presenting.
These avenues mean Joyce can roam where she chooses. Remixing Chicks On
Speed and collaborating with the UK’s Detachments, she’s re-exploring the electro
roots that brought her to the attention of DJ Hell many years ago, now a mentor. But
with the on-going support of Âme, Dixon, Claptone and Green Velvet and more, as
well as thousands of Shazams each week, she continues to explore sounds,
collaborating with artists across the world.
Last year, Joyce Muniz released the infectious single ’No Haters’ on Permanent Vacation
with fellow Brazilian Producer Renato Cohen. This was followed by the huge ‘Beats & Lines’,
with Sara Bluma on Kompakt (Joyce Muniz’s debut Kompakt release), which spent several
weeks at No.1 in Beatport’s Indie Dance Chart and was supported internationally by many
major DJs.
Joyce Muniz will release the Afro electro single ‘Mo Dupe' on Exploited in April 2025. She
will return to Kompakt in June 2025.
Alongside weekly gigs in Europe and frequent visits to America, Joyce often returns
to play Brazil. This was rewarded with the cover feature of her proud nation's
Mixmag. Winning new fans each visit to her birth country of over 200 million, there’sno doubt
she has plenty more road to travel.
