Applebottom - The Ride (Original Mix)(BIRDS THAT FLY)

Jonas Rathsman's trip to Crosstown is with Josef Salvat and 'Complex' is as good as we expected it to be. Further to that, Swiss maestro Deetron is on remix duty and we've got the exclusive premiere.

Deetron's done the business once again, employing fierce synths to drive the track forward with intent. The cymbals thrash, the hi-hats stutter and the vocals seduce, prepare yourself for a face-melter.

Releasedates
Digital: June 3rd 2016
Vinyl: June 17th 2016

Tracklist:  
A1 / 1. Stimming – Alpe Lusia (Robag’s Bodelshwing Sovar NB) (08:34 min) 
B1 / 2. Stimming – Alpe Lusia (Acid Pauli & NU Remix) (07:07 min)  
3. (Digital Bonus) Stimming - Alpe Lusia (Solomun's Ring-the-Bell Remix) ( 08:56 min)

Spring 2016 saw the release of Stimming’s fourth full length album “Alpe Lusia”, which was named after a remote little alpine hut in northern Italy, in which he had secluded himself to work on his LP for a full month, all by himself.  From the title track of his LP emanates his following release on Diynamic, the Alpe Lusia Remixes, and the remixing protagonists are none other than Robag Wruhme, long time collaborateurs Acid Pauli & NU and last but not least Solomun.   

First off is Pampa mainstay Robag Wruhme, whose take on Stimming’s “Alpe Lusia” starts off as a dark and brooding tech house gem. Later, when you have made your way through its rough outer shell, peeling off the hard claps, it shows its soft core, with gentle pads caressing the arrangement.  

Acid Pauli & NU deliver a deep and driving, almost haunting reinterpretation of “Alpe Lusia", with a thumping bass and ethereal vocals that are hypnotizing.  

Finally, Solomun adds a remix that reminds you of the rabbit hole in Alice's Wonderland: the longer you dig, the deeper you get, and the more fantastic is what you experienece.

The original version is the only track on the album without a real groove, which is why Stimming chose precisely this track to be remixed - to see what the others would do about that. Now it is fair to say that all three remixes have succeeded at this task.

Release Date: 3rd June 2016

German producer Matthias Vogt has deservedly attracted widespread support throughout his career - known for his signature electronic productions as well as being an accomplished jazz musician. ‘Matters’ is an upbeat vocal groover, showcasing this diverse musicality. Matthias’ original receives the remix treatment from two of the scenes brightest talents with a pair of fresh club-ready cuts and an alternative mix rounding off the package.

Purveyor of the underground and Anjunadeep fan favourite, Tom Middleton, boasts an enviable back catalog spanning over the past two decades including reworks of Kerri Chandler, Orbital, Ennio Morricone, Jon Hopkins to name a few. A trusted and consistent producer, Middleton steps up to the plate offering a hallmark melodic rework, injecting an upbeat rolling bassline to the mix alongside textured soundscapes and deft vocal chops.

Next up we welcome Spanish producer and musical innovator Aitor Etxebarria aka El_Txef_A for his Anjunadeep debut. With past releases on the respected labels Permanent Vacation and Hypercolor as well as on his own Fiakun imprint, Aitor has garnered wide spread praise for his forward thinking and complex sound. The first of his two EP contributions, his ‘Cosmic Dub’ a spacey melodic gem awash with soaring synths amidst a laid-back retro groove. Secondly, the genre bending ‘Live From The Elephant Room’ remix (named after the infamous Texan jazz club), El_Txef_A offers a clever and unique take on the original with the addition of percussive jazz elements and warbling rifts.

Remember Ibiza and Festival Season last year? Everywhere you went you heard that remix – his remix of Gregory Porter. Since then Claptone released his debut artist album Charmer and his singles have helped make him one of the best selling acts on Beatport. Today, just as the sun demonstrates that it's here to stay, the masked man unveils his Golden Summer Tour.

Claptone's Golden Summer Tour runs from his first date at the opening of Amnesia in May through to his last date at the legendary Ibiza super-club in September and takes in a staggering 66 dates in 20 countries with more to be announced! 

2016 is the Golden Summer of Claptone and his agenda this season is to help fans create memories that'll last forever:

'We have all had summers where the stars align; we're with our best friends, enjoying beautiful weather, listening to our favourite music and falling in love. If you didn't know yet: as much as I like the dark of a club night, I feel drawn to the gold of a festival site or a beach party. And I'm not greedy, I'm gonna share my golden summer with you.' says Claptone himself.

The incredible tour schedule includes performances at Amnesia, Space, Pacha, Glastonbury, We Are FSTVL, Big Festival, Mysteryland, Spring Awakening, Parookaville, Brunch Electronik, Dreambeach Festival in countries as varied as Japan, China, Canada, USA and across Europe too. And there'll be a soundtrack to this tour: Claptone will be releasing remixes of his single 'Heartbeat feat. Nathan Nicholson' (from Technasia and Mat.Joe) on 6th June plus Claptone remixes of New Order and Peter, Bjorn & John with some surprises no doubt too… 

Throughout the summer, Claptone and his partners will be holding competitions to win VIP and masked merchandise from his brand new store. You can also soundtrack the summer with his weekly Clapcast radio show that is broadcast on 40+ stations worldwide and has been downloaded 4 million times from iTunes so far.

20 Years Of Freerange - 5 x Vinyl Box Set LP

June 2016 sees Freerange Records celebrate 20 years at the top. The label, run by Jamie ‘Jimpster’ Odell and Tom Roberts, is marking the occasion with the summer release of a carefully curated and lovingly assembled 20 track, five vinyl box set featuring exclusive new music from associates old and new, as well as with a worldwide events series.

Over the last two decades, generations of DJs and dancers have gotten down to the Freerange sound. Initially that was a mix of sample-heavy productions incorporating live musicians, flirtations with the broken beat sound and some ground breaking fidget house cuts from Switch and Trevor Loveys. Then, and most enduringly, the label settled into a rich vein of deep house. Shur-I-Kan, Kirk Degiorgio, Milton Jackson, Trackheadz, Stimming as well as Jimpster ushered in this most recent chapter, and in turn the label has helped make household names of many more previously unknown talents from Detroit Swindle to Manuel Tur, Andre Lodemann to Tony Lionni. Wherever you look amongst the hundreds of EP and LP releases on Freerange, you will find nuance and evolution, dance floor sensibility and genuine emotional impact.

That same sense of timelessness characterises this new compilation, which is packed with great music from the likes of KiNK, Pittsburgh Track Authority, Kuniyuki, Kito Jempere, Soul of Hex, Clavis, Detroit Swindle, and of course Jimpster himself, as well as a whole host of other Freerange regulars. There are many highlights across the 20 track package including a warm and skipping house cut from Bulgarian live specialist KiNK, a typically slow burning and beautifully arcing epic from Andre Lodemann and spaced out jack tracks from classically inclined Liverpudlian Tony Lionni.

Big name stars like Detroit Swindle return in style with a robust and acid laced banger, the ever-underrated Milton Jackson builds something melodically magical and Pittsburgh Track Authority layer up majestic string stabs and rubbery bass into soul infused future music. Jimpster himself bolsters the whole package both solo and with Luv Jam as well as remixing Tim Toh, and on each occasion proves why he is one of the pivotal figures of the UK deep house scene.

Few labels make it to twenty releases let alone twenty years strong. Often doing so without making any real fuss, now is the time that Freerange Records deserves its time in the spotlight, and this compilation more than proves that.

Heartbeat (Technasia Remix)

Jonas Rathsman announces his latest offering with cutting-edge innovators Crosstown Rebels. ‘Complex’ featuring Josef Salvat is released on 10th June 2016.

This is a tech-blues odyssey, an introverts primal scream, where complex emotions and urges are vented and perfectly complemented by Rathsman’s explorations into the dark corners of electronic music. Enjoy the journey. With the release only in the hands of a select few tastemaker DJs, ‘Complex’ has been making waves at the recent Miami Winter Music Conference, “receiving hands in the air welcomes and even a sit down ovation” according to label boss Damian Lazarus. ‘Complex’ is set to be the first underground anthem of 2016.

The release comes with two carefully chosen remixes. First up is Swiss techno stalwart Deetron, who steers the song into percussive acid oblivion while Serge Devant offers up his deep house expertise for a dramatic and driving offbeat cut.

With his instantly recognisable sound, Jonas has found praise the world over for his keen ear and transcendent sets, which have captivated listeners on both the international club and festival scenes.

Following his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Rathsman continues to showcase his technical capabilities and impressive track selection with his bi-monthly mix series ‘ELEMENTS’, now on its fourth instalment.
