Bawrut is back on the Ransom Note - and the 3rd track of the EP, 'Tano', is an alchemical concoction, transmuting handclaps, chirrups, chants, 303s, and deep state meditation into a starburst explosion of unfettered joy. The other two tracks on the EP are also killers, so it's not to be missed!

PRÉMIÈRE: Bawrut - Tano [Ransom Note]

This September, the Brooklyn based band Underground System released their debut LP WHAT ARE YOU. on Soul Clap Records and embarked on a national label tour. They are now slated to make their European debut in December, and will release a trio of remixes from storied German DJ and Running Back label head Gerd Janson to support. 
Described as a “Band that defies categories” by NPR, Underground System is an ever-evolving convergence of musical and cultural influences. The female-fronted group of global dance music deconstructionists have cultivated a sound as inimitable as its members. Something familiar and referential that simultaneously projects a fiercely original energy, the band synthesizes elements of afrobeat, new wave, dance music, and contemporary classical performance, seen through the international lens of a New York City band in 2018. Peter Matson, bandleader/producer, comments, “Our music is heavily influenced by the context that is projected by the New York underground. As much as we are rooted in afrobeat and other well recognized musical styles, we pay homage to the way these sounds were combined and progressed over the years by pushing to find our own original voice. 

The band has built a lasting reputation around a seamlessly executed stage show, astonishing wherever they go, and compelling crowds to move with unbridled verve. Continuing to reinvent their brand of global dance music, Underground System remains a force determined to recreate, redefine, and reconstruct. Underground System is comprised of Peter Matson on guitar, sequencing, and synths, Domenica Fossati on lead vocals, flute, and percussion, Yoshio Kobayashi on Drums, Jon Granoff on bass, Lollise Mbi on shekere and background vocals, Olatunji Tunji on congas, and Carter Yusatake on trumpet and keyboards. 

Although they are based in New York, Underground System came together from different places, countries, and cultures. Their diverse life experiences including different political times and cultural identities is the foundation for the new album WHAT ARE YOU, the band’s first full-length LP. Departing from the extended forms typically associated with Underground System’s live performances and stylistic roots, the new album is a deep 10 track look into the group’s mix of talented personnel and profound sonic diversity. The first single from WHAT ARE YOU, “Go” was released with an accompanying animated video created by Alice Cohen. The video saw it’s worldwide premiere on Billboard. It’s impossible not to hear the band’s development on this track, where they stay true to their afrobeat roots while incorporating elements of new wave, alternative and post-punk. The full LP was released September 7, 2018 and has since received press and play from outlets such as NPR/PRI, NPR Alt Latino, KCRW, Mixmag, Love Injection, and BBC. 

Since the release, the downtown NY meets afro disco stylings of the album cut ‘Just A Place’ has landed favorably in many DJ’s inboxes, and set off a wave of remixing interest. The first of these remixes to be highlighted via official release on Soul Clap Records will be Running Back label boss Gerd Janson’s driving big room friendly interpretation. Held together by Janson’s signature pulsing italo bass, New Beat influence. The 3 mix package is dancefloor ready. 

The LP has also clearly piqued the interest of music fans across Europe, and following many connections made via radio and agencies well receiving the new music in France and the UK, Underground System is now continuing to support WHAT ARE YOU by bringing the full band overseas for the first time, culminating in their live European debut, December 5-7 at Trans Musicales festival in Rennes, France.

Coming off the fresh release of Oma Nata's LP The Discovery, Portuguese imprint Discotexas have now turned their well-trained ears to DJ Vibe for a three-track EP titled Da Lapa. Considered by many as the the most sought after and well known of the Portuguese DJ’s, DJ Vibe has been involved in the launch of the most important clubs both at home and Internationally, including a ten year residency at Lisbon’s Lux Frágil, coinciding with his involvement in the Acid House explosion taking place in London at the time.

For his debut on Discotexas, DJ Vibe has put together a release that's packed with a stellar selection of house tunes that really showcases the rich history of dance music he hails from. One of those tracks happens to be "We Can," which is a song that centers itself around a deep, tribal feel that's drenched in percussion, echoing claps and reverb-soaked melodic lines. Staying true to his name, DJ Vibe manages to create quite "the vibe" with this one, putting together an original that has future anthem written all over it!

Da Lapa is set to come out later this week on April 5th.

PREMIERE: DJ Vibe - We Can

Now, what do we have here... A brand new offering by Mr. Panthera Krause. You know, Krause as in Riotvan shareholder and co-curator, fun guy behind the decks (and in general) and last but not least innovator and maverick of all things House. Krause has been proven over the course of his previous EPs on Riotvan that his approach to electronic music is one of a kind and never lacks a certain tongue in cheek attitude. Exactly that is now validated by these two new cuts, maybe more concise and on point than ever. And these tunes are not only an indicator about where the boy is at right now, they are also a foretaste of an album that will be released later that year on Riotvan.

Side one contains the "Genki Girl", a character of the rather quirky kind, it seems. Krause introduces a beat rich in cowbell and tambourine use, topped by a guitar lick, that sparks some memories of that time when Funk and Punk fell in love and a label like DFA had its heydays. While adding synth arrangements, one could assume, Krause might've gone a bit bonkers for a second. And that's applying to both, the rhythmic patterns as well as the lead that throughout time gets adapted by various other instruments. A rich and haywire tune that still retains an utmost floor appeal. 

Same goes for "Spring Irre" on the flipside. As the German title already indicates, this one is even nuttier. Guitar samples triggering a certain Talking Heads memento meet eccentric pitchshift modulations and an indeed jumping bass sounding as if it was played by Bootsy Collins on ephedrine. A sidestepping, plain unpredictable monster of a track that despite of all its complexity at any moment delivers groove and joy and unrestricted frenzy.

PREMIERE – Johannes Albert – Wing House (Shan Remix)(Frank Music)

'For the 25th instalment from House of Disco we see Munich duo and Toytonics regulars COEO explore pastures new with an EP bathed in the neon glow of the 1980’s. Inspired by cheap karate films and old Baywatch episodes the duo hone in on something new among all the old machines and familiar sounds.

‘Habibi Dub’, the opening track elevates the forgotten about pan-pipe to sunny perfection, perfect for slow motion running on that honeymoon in Hawaii. The second of three originals ‘Sharks, Lies & Videotape’ takes the dune buggy for a blast along the beach looking for trouble while the third offering ‘Joe Armstrong Theme’ defends your dojo from unwanted nighttime intruders.

Alongside the originals are two superb remixes from one of our favourite producers ‘Lauer’ and young Irish team ‘Mix & Fairbanks’'

Alex ‘Kiwi’ Warren’s passion for music has been a fire that has long burned within. From humble beginnings as an in-house photographer for the world-famous DURRR club-night, started by Erol Alkan’s much celebrated Trash team, to the runaway success of his own club nights, it’s his prolific productions and genre blending extended dj sets that are now catapulting him into the spotlight .
Warren’s success as a one-man promotions company, cultivating his ever popular club-night, Orlando Boom and its disco-focussed sister night, Kate Boss, caught the attention of The Columbo Group who swiftly appointed him as their booking and promotions manager for The Nest.

Kiwi soon realised that he had more to offer than just his promoter skills and he began to channel his energy into playing and creating music. Releases on Days of Being Wild, Jack Savidge and Edwin Congreave’s highly acclaimed Deep Shit, DFTD, Optimo, Moda Black, Sneaky Music and Virgin EMI followed, and in 2015, his track Short Tail was nominated for Song Of The Year at the DJ Mag Best Of British awards. He’s produced an abundance of remixes for high-profile artists such as; Who Made Who, Locassolus, Paramida, Is Tropical, The Klaxons and more. This incredible output has earned him a wealth of support from some of the scenes biggest names including; Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey, Gerd Janson, Daniel Avery, Erol Alkan, Optimo, Rob da Bank, Annie Mac and Skream.

2017 saw the release of his Orca EP on Bristol’s Futureboogie imprint with the title track receiving rave reviews in Mixmag and topping the dance charts on Juno and Beatport for seven weeks. This was swiftly followed by releases on Dusky’s 17 steps, and a vinyl-only release alongside Joakim on DJ Tennis’ Life and Death. As well as being busy in the studio, Kiwi has also been out on the road touring Asia twice, North America and Europe. Add to that a packed festival season and holding down his residency at XOYO in London, Kiwi has carved out a name for himself with his all night long DJ sets that effortlessly blend balearic, disco, house, Detroit techno and everything in between.

2018 was a big one for the DJ Mag nominee, with a string of releases gaining notoriety on the likes of Moscoman’s Disco Halal and a new one for 17 Steps, as well as a return to Correspondent and releases on Cin Cin and Needwant to come.

2019 marked a pivotal milestone in Alex’s career. In April, he launched his brand new imprint Crossbreed, with the inaugural CRBD01 released in conjunction with Italy’s finest export DJ Rocca. The ethos of the label is the notion that working together breeds great things, and it is not hard to see this belief in the debut EP.

Having made a strong start with the first three collaborative releases, the label continues into 2020 as a mouthpiece to showcase records that represent Alex’s ideas; and with a knack for selecting off-kilter, leftfield releases, Crossbreed is set to make impressive waves within the electronic music scene.
