Gui Boratto - Arquipelago

City Lights Pulse

WAV52 | 36 | Weekly Audio Ventures

This week, I spent some time exploring the CC Control MIDI effect. I didn’t overuse it, but it still found its way into seven out of my ten MIDI tracks. MIDI CC is like a hidden toolbox that extends the possibilities of a MIDI message — letting you control things like the mod wheel, pitch bend, and pressure.

For me, it was mostly about pitch bend. It’s quick, expressive, and easy to shape ideas with. Still, I often find myself reaching for my Push 2 when I want to work with pitch bend, the mod wheel, or pressure. There’s something more immediate and tactile about doing it directly on the Push 2 rather than through Live’s interface.

Maybe my habits will shift over time, but for now, the Push 2 wins hands down. This weeks scale is C Locrian.

Patrick Bishop - Un (Tuff City Kids Remix)

(E)
Debuting on Kompakt with a masterfully twisted remix of Gui Boratto's "Take Control" (KOMPAKT 302) in 2014, Miami-based DJ/Producer DANNY DAZE had already made himself a name with outings on tastemaking labels like Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio, Ultramajic or Miami's very own Omnidisc - but it was the raw and muscular SPEICHER 80 that really opened up our receptors. Danny's recipe for bendy, electro- infused techno turned out to be insanely catchy and ripe with bass, a bold, futuristic and funky vision for the dancing floor that finds a brilliant follow-up in his latest outing: two new exercises in off-the-cuff mayhem grace SPEICHER 91, with face-melting uber- jam SWIM kicking off a weird and wonderful parade of synth riffs, belting beats and pure arpeggio anarchy - while the flipside is held hostage by the razor-sharp, robotic funk of MACHINE, Danny's second collaboration with TRANSLUCENT for Speicher after the hard-hitting "Speaker Language" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 80).

Schon vor seinem Kompakt-Debüt mit einem meisterhaft verzwirbelten Remix für Gui Boratto's "Take Control" (KOMPAKT 302) hatte sich Miami's DANNY DAZE mit Veröffentlichungen auf so illustren Plattformen wie Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio, Ultramajic oder Omnidisc einen Namen gemacht - doch es war die rauhbeinige und muskulöse SPEICHER 80, die unsere Rezpetoren erst so richtig durchgepustet hat. Dannys Rezept für biegsamen, Electro- durchwirkten T echno entpuppte sich als unglaublich mitreissend und basslastig, eine kühne, futuristische und funkende Vision für den tanzenden Flur, die ihre Fortsetzung in einer brillianten neuen Scheibe findet: zwei frische Blaupausen für den Rave im Handumdrehen beglücken uns auf SPEICHER 91, mit der Gesichtszugkernschmelze SWIM als Auftakt zur völligen Arpeggio-Anarchie - während die Rückseite dem rasiermesserscharfen Robofunk von MACHINE zum Opfer fällt, Dannys zweiter Kollaboration mit TRANSLUCENT für Speicher nach dem knallharten Durchstarter "Speaker Language" (KOMPAKT EXTRA 80).

UK based DJ and producer Fort Romeau presents a deeply ethereal and atmospheric excursion with ‘Reasons’, his first self-released EP that showcases the scope of his hypnotic sound profile.
 
Following releases on Ghostly International, Cin Cin, Running Back and Live At Robert Johnson, For Romeau delivers his first original EP since last year’s ‘Secrets & Lies’. He’s touched on a variety of motifs throughout his career, from acid to more delicate styles, now he offers the full package with his latest release.
 
Paired with steady, driving rhythm and enveloping atmospherics Fort Romeau plays with seductive vocals to create an eerie, yet inviting soundscape on ‘Reasons’. The title track off the new EP builds into a crescendo of synth with a subtle release to cap off the dreamy production. 
 
Two more originals are found on the ‘Reasons’ EP, which is set for release June 16.

DJ Tennis’ highly acclaimed Life and Death imprint continues to traverse sonic boundaries with no exception. The next release Trooper comes from London-based producer Joseph Ashworth, featuring outstanding remixes from the inimitable Ron Trent and founder of Margot Records, Sebra Cruz.

“Trooper pushes a new sound that I have been exploring - with grit and excitement taking charge rather than finesse and tidiness. It makes me think of some kind of disturbing military march, a little bit agressive and a little bit noisy, hence the name.” - Joseph Ashworth

The Ron Trent version employs a stronger techno leaning at the outset, adding a vocal and ambient synths that take it on deeper journey. Sebra Cruz creates a powerful peaktime number, bass-focussed and euphoric. Second original track Laminated, perpetuates the perfect dancefloor rhythm with an abundance of drums, percussion and a heady dose of bass. 

Joseph Ashworth began his career on Needwant with his Grain LP, which showcased his innate ability to fuse melody with a techno beat. Since then, he’s had releases on Get Weird, Dirtybird, Pets Recordings and Anjunadeep. Legendary Ron Trent is regarded as one of the key figures in the birth of the Chicago music scene. He has an extensive back catalogue of prominent releases, founding four of his own labels. Sebra Cruz is the new solo endeavour of one half of Italian duo, and founder of Margot Records, Margot. Earlier this year he released a collaboration with DJ Tennis on their Truth Or Consequences EP.
