MARC HOULE UNVEILS ‘RESTORED’ REMIX ALBUM 	

Marc Houle is set to release a full remix package from his debut LP, Restore, featuring remix contributions from an all-star line-up of techno luminaries including Danny Daze, Harvard Bass, Julian Jeweil, Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y., Popof and Marc Houle himself.

Originally released on Richie Hawtin’s Minus label a decade ago, Restore stands alone as Houle’s very first long-player and helped to establish his penchant for the quirkier side of techno and his superlative production skills. Spread across 11 tracks it encapsulated the dark, minimal, groove-driven sound purveyed by Hawtin and the rest of the Minus crew, while retaining a strong sense of Houle’s unique character and identity. Now it’s the perfect time to breath new life into an album that has stood the test of time, still utterly infectious and absorbing – a collection of music that captures an era of stripped back, yet captivating sounds. 

10 years since its release, the album is getting the remix treatment and Marc has called in some of the very best in techno talent to give Restore a fresh makeover. The selection of artists who’ve contributed to the ‘Restored’ project includes heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y. and Popof together with additional reworks from stars of the new generation such as Danny Daze, Julian Jeweil and Harvard Bass, all giving his tracks a new lease of life. In addition, Houle himself has also stepped up to offer a new contemporary take on his own music, collaborating with vocalist Genevieve Marentette on ‘Demor’.

"Restore was the beginning of it all for me.  It was influenced by the sounds of Detroit and the endless parties I went to there in the 90s.  It was my first album and to me it had the perfect balance of darkness, groove and electronic sounds. 10 years later, I am excited to present Restored with some modern interpretations on old tracks by some friends and colleagues who have kept the party going throughout the world."- Marc Houle

DIGITARIA – Starburst Poem EP [Items & Things 035]

Beatport: btprt.dj/1lWDyYc
iTunes: apple.co/1NXoEeD
Juno: bit.ly/1mrOD3z

Track list:
1. Starburst Poem
2. Again and Again
3. Over and Over

With a string of successful releases already in their discography, Digitaria are no amateurs when it comes to creating memorable and unique dance floor hits. After putting out albums on both Hot Creations and International DJ Gigolos, the duo make their debut on Items & Things with the expertly crafted and undeniably authentic, 'Starburst Poems'.

Jumping off is the title track: A hypnotizing blend of spooky triplets laid over a rugged 'four to the floor' kick drum. As the wobbly lead constantly twists and turns, short sonic blasts of digital artifacts create the perfect contrast between organic euphoria and technological precision.

As with the title track, 'Again and Again' follows suit with a master combination of the natural and synthetic as the duo entwines a rich looping piano with seductive sine tones creating the perfect balance between polar opposites. All the while a haunting female vocal recites the track title resulting in an emotionally enchanting ride.

Wrapping up the EP is 'Over and Over‘, and again the duo create a uniquely magical odyssey by having opposing forces meet head-on. While rigid percussion constructs the foundation, wild arpeggios come to life establishing a strange, yet engaging campaign that fits superbly to any time and place.

We here at Items & Things couldn't be more satisfied, and it is with great pleasure and excitement that we welcome Digitaria to the Items & Things roster. Enjoy!

Lee Van Dowski – ‘Elle’ EP

Lee Van Dowski - ELLE
Lee Van Dowski - IC1101
Lee Van Dowski - HAL3

Label: Mobilee Records 

Release date: 8 January, 2016

By the time 2015 ends, Lee Van Dowski would have released an impressive 17 tracks, capping off the most industrious and inspired year of his career. But don’t assume the Frenchman’s about to slow down. He’ll be kicking off 2016 with ‘Cerca Trova’, his first artist album in a decade, alongside ‘Elle’ a scorching new EP due in January. 

The title track is a beautiful piano-laden melodic techno gem, driven by a tough underbelly of bass that has become Lee’s trademark. Untitled at the time, the cut first hit global eardrums on BBC Radio 1, when Mobilee boss Anja Schneider dropped a superb mix for Heidi’s Residency show and concluded the 30-minute session with this heady offering. 

‘IC1101’ pushes the rave tempo into overdrive mode and harks back to the Frenchmen’s nascent dancefloor days, dishing up a propulsion of trance-tinged 90s-style techno that flirts with both the trippy and the psychedelic. 

The spectacular searing low-end burner ‘Hal3’ rounds out the three-track offering. A 10-minute concoction of searing low-end synths and crisp drums, it’s a brain-mangling balls-to-the-wall beast that’s tailor made for those special 5am gurn o’clock moments.
