Recondite - Abscondence

Press text :

Release 34 is a meeting of minds and talent as two of our future faves join forces for the very first time on Herzblut. The French dream-team of Electric Rescue and Maxime Dangles present a new brace of techno gems on the Melomis EP. The release comes hot on the heels of Maxime's, Oralipse ep, which has been heating our floors since July and the pair demonstrate just why they are in such high demand with their exotic genre-crossing techno workouts. Melomis is pure fire. Simple and yet utterly devastating, it's staccato siren riff drills away, filtered and intensified before the earth-shattering drums power in. On the flip its groove all the way as Orlando uses power and poise to generating an impressive helping of funk by matching the the most delicate of bells with raw, weighty beats, bass and breakdown.

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album 'Frames Of Reference' on Token last fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor ("a display of real power and finesse" 4/5), in DJmag ("a calculated masterpiece" 9,5/10), at XLR8R ("sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal" 8/10), Groove Magazine ("pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits") and more.

Following the first single “On The Edge / Perplexed” & the second single “Dirtro II” (including the stellar ‘New Device Remix’ by Robert Hood), we now present you the last segment of the series with 2 remixes. On the A-side Rødhåd delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single ‘Perplexed’, while Robert Hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on “Dirtro II” for the flip.

Explosion Fracture - Splinter (UA)

Tracklist:

1. Black Russian
2. Creeping
3. Spying 

DVS1, aka Minneapolis-raised Zak Khutoretsky, will release a new Klockworks record on the 16th of July 2014. It will be his third outing on Ben Klock's label, following acclaimed records in both 2009 and 2011.

DVS1 is not just a techno DJ or producer, when the time is right his sets will gladly diverge into other styles to take the dancefloor where he sees fit, and his studio work too. 'Black Russian' sounds DVS1 like in house mode, as dub techno-inspired piano chords repeat to infinity, floating above padded kicks and moving hi-hats. This is one of the lightest tracks released under the DVS1 alias, but it's still equipped to create blissful ecstasy when played - a favourite closing track for both DVS1 and Ben Klock.

Flip over to the B-side and it's back to Zak's usual tone of dark techno, the style exhibited on his previous two Klockworks 12"s. The eerie bleeps and haunting atmospheres of 'Creeping' evolve for seven minutes, driven along by shuffling high-end percussion. It is understated and subtly arranged as a tool, the kind of track DJs rely on to keep momentum building with energy and elegance.

'Spying' is another prime example of DVS1's take on minimalism, it is stripped-down and makes the most of the fewest possible elements. 'Spying' cropped up in Ben Klock's Fabric mix last year, and has been been a staple in his DJ sets; for good reason, it embodies the deep pulse and light/dark contrast of all Klockworks output.

2014 has already provided three stellar DVS1 releases, two on his own label Hush and this. It's all evidence that this producer's work in the studio is now on par with his exceptional talent behind the decks, quite a prospect for fans new and old.

Responsible for organizing the Moments event series throughout Berlin, I/Y is releasing an EP celebrating their collaboration with all the artists who performed and adhered to the Moment’s concept in the last few years. Releasing music from everyone was impossible, but the 4 tracks produced by Voiski, Blind Observatory, Schloss Mirabell, and I/Y give a solid idea of what Moments is about.

Alan Fitzpatrick is back with a three-track EP that encapsulates what Alan’s Drumcode sound is all about. Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2014.

The 30th release on Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital finds the label presenting a brand new collaborative project. Lonya and Mike Griegoare both quite accomplished in their respective production careers. 2014 appearances on HernanCattaneo'sSudbeat Music have been highlights and the end result of their first studio effort 'Acid Culture' looks to be one of this year's most intriguing singles. 

A dramatic intro sets the stage with a punchy groove, vivid vocal gates, and a nice complement of trippy electronics. As the hallucinatory vibes forma well-carved foundation,crisp percussion and strong hypnotic tempos lead the track into its second act. Here a more distinct theme is unleashed with enticing tones and phasing rhythmsuniting for strong hedonic hooks.It results in a tasteful and sonically satisfying production from Lonyaand Mike Griego that you're bound to be hearing a lot in the coming months. 

The first remix of 'Acid Culture' is s upplied by Roger Martinez who is returning to Perspectives for his second appearance. The Dutch producer's 'My World' single was a standout on the label earlier this year and additional offerings on Sudbeat and GEM Records have been equally enticing. For his 'Acid Culture' interpretation, Roger has given the piece his own unique twist. Reshaped elements from the original have been transformed into highly infectious, rhythmic hooks, and the tough, techy framework is undeniably groovy. Another meticulously produced piece of music from Roger that is sure to be one of his most sought after remix productions this year.

The second and final remix is provided by Tim Penner who is making his first appearance on Perspectives. A regular in the sets of HernanCattaneo, the Canadian producer has had a strong year production-wise with appearances on Sudbeatand Movement Recordings. Also quite accomplished as a DJ, Tim has shared the stage with Eric Prydz, Guy J, Henry Saiz and many oth er top international talents. For his 'Acid Culture' interpretation, Tim has provided a techno inspired rendition that complements the original very well. Fueled by a percussive groove, ultrasonic design, and tension-filled main break, this is a production that's sure to be thrilling for the peak-time slots. It rounds out another on-the-money release for Perspectives Digital in fine style.

Six years ago, Token was born with the release of Inigo Kennedy's 'Identify Yourself'. Since then, each of his EP's has been a milestone in the label's growth and this new 3-tracker promises to be no different.

Title track ‘Cathedral’ has you floating under its arches at a sheer height above the heads of its 
worshipers, while ‘Chamber’ takes you back down straight to the centre of the dance floor. Closing the EP is the graceful ‘Accordion’, which could be the soundtrack to a lucid dream.

Token starts 2013 in pure Inigo Kennedy style: dark, refined and oh so magnetic.

Amsterdam based Keith Carnal has in recent years become seen as somewhat of a tastemaker in today’s world of techno. It might not then come as a big surprise to you that he has also become a favoured producer among many who are seen as “techno mainstay”, gaining support from numerous of his own musical inspirations and champions. Carnal, who grew up in a very musical home in the northern part of Holland, found techno at an early age when he began sourcing and selecting on his own. Techno was, and very much is, the first music that made a deep impression on Keith. This feeling only went on to become more cemented after a few years of composing on his own. It simply became clearer and clearer that Carnal is exactly where he belongs.

Keith’s own style of techno always has a strong emphasis on melodies and groove - it is made for dancing no doubt. Often the melody creates a rather ominous feeling for the listener, but with a certain melancholy to it. This is weighed up expertly with Keith focusing on the tracks being driven forward by strong percussion elements. His compositions contain a fresh vibe that immerses his audience as much as it does with his fellow producer and DJ colleagues. 

Carnal’s own productions very much goes hand in hand with the selections he makes as a DJ. A set of Keith’s always focuses on keeping the tempo and the groove up and going. Classic productions are mixed confidently with more current ones. His sets flourish with tracks that are atmospheric and contain strong melodic segments - tracks where percussion and bass play a major part in why being selected. For Keith Carnal creating the right groove is the main target. This year will see Keith releasing several strong productions as well as continuing his extensive international touring schedule, where he is headlining many of the major festivals and clubs. Keith Carnal is a fresh wind in today’s techno climate.
