Pale Blue, the duo of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti, released their debut album to much critical acclaim back in 2015. They come together once again with their latest EP You Stopped Dying due to drop on Crosstown Rebels in February.

“The “You Stopped Dying” ep takes influence from shoegaze groups like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and moves it to the dance floor....The result is a strange hybrid that some have called “technogaze”....This would never work if Liz wasn’t such a strong vocalist. Her amazing vocal range makes it easy.” Mike Simonetti

Pale Blue is a hypnotic affair, the driving bass sitting perfectly under Wight’s powerful yet ethereal vocals. Daughter of Babylon takes the record into heavier techno territory with its thudding bass and Wight’s breathy vocals delicately layered over the top. On the flip side Love is an unapologetically industrial number with screeching synths that echo around Wight’s vocals.

Simonetti and Wight have each earned their musical stripes in their own rights. Simonetti founded the hugely popular Italians Do It Better as well as his own successful record label, 2MR. He’s released a slew of records on highly regarded imprints such as Me Me Me, Correspondant and Public Release, and enjoys a fruitful career as a touring DJ, which shows no sign of abating. Wight has previously lent her exhilarating vocals to the West Coast band, Silver Hands of which she was once one half of.

ID150 - Your Light Shines On Remixes

Premiere: Carl Cox - Your Light Shines On (Chus & Ceballos Remix) [Intec]

Pre-order here: http://smarturl.it/AL014PO

Ukrainian duo Woo York deliver a powerful, driving, dark-yet-sophisticated sound on their upcoming ‘Chasing The Dream’ LP, set to drop on May 4 as the first artist album on Afterlife.

Opening with the brooding and thought-provoking cosmic stabs of the aptly titled ‘Inception’, Woo York guide you through a fluid-like path across ‘Chasing the Dream’, offering fluttering synths on ‘Walk Along The Rainbow’ and a rattling percussive core to ‘There Is A Light.’ Their signature 303 magic hints at acid on ‘Through Peaks and Valleys’, and there is ice-cold ambience to finish in ‘Rise’ and an alternate mix of the title track. A landmark within the Realm Of Consciousness.

NovaMute welcome @dj_anna for the Brazilian producer’s first EP on the seminal imprint. 

"It’s such an honor to be working with @novamutenovamute. Daniel is a legend and a few years ago I’d never even imagined this would ever happen, such are the happy coincidences in life! Now we’re here and Razor EP is done and it all feels a bit surreal."

The first track ‘Razor' was born while playing with her MKS-80 from Roland, an old synth from 1985 and one of ANNA’s favourite. You can hear the fat and juicy sound on the breakdown and ever evolving throughout. The track has already been getting a great reaction when played out in her sets.

Released on 12" May 25th

PRIMICIA: Pletnev - Daywalker (Eva Geist & Mehmet Aslan Remix) [Fleeting Wax]

Brothers Harvey and Ryan McKay return to Drumcode with their dynamic Alias project.

We were introduced to Alias last year when the McKay brothers dropped the impact-heavy ‘Visions’ EP mid-way through 2017. The duo followed with a lauded contribution for Drumcode Live and the buzz from fans was palpable. The follow up sees the pair in powerhouse form. 

The title track ‘NRG’ is an attitude-packed tour de force; compromised of aggressive snares, warped vocals and a tension-filled break, it has been smashed by Adam Beyer for the last six months. ‘Orange Sunshine’ pulls no punches as it dishes out apocalyptic acid paired with the sibling’s startling drum work. ‘The Event’ rounds out the EP and is an exhilarating affair propelled by uplifting synth lines and a buzzing energetic bassline.

“Daywalker” is a completely original, synthesised outing. A sleazy lead line charms and slithers upwards between layers of syncopated tabla and a sultry acidic groove. The tune spins and twists around this central oriental theme, ever-evolving as layers of detailed percussion and ad-libbed melodies intensify the tone.

Release Info: 
Alan Fitzpatrick led his label We Are The Brave into 2018, with the first release of the year ‘The Colour Of A Dream’. After a hugely successful 2017, the label has pumped out some epic dance bombs from Boxia, Darius Syrossian, Skober, Reset Robot and Gary Beck, whilst bringing new names into the limelight with Leonardo and Kevin De Vries. With Alan Fitzpatrick’s Day Festival a sold out success back in March, expect more bangin’ parties to be coming your way, bringing with them a whole heap of We Are The Brave’s finest talent. 2018 is gonna be a belter!

“The mood and sound that We Are The Brave delivers, is innovative” says Frankyeffe, the latest artist announcing his debut this May with ‘Fire’. The Italian producer drops two original tracks on this release. The title track ‘Fire’ has a chunky synth which cuts through the energetic bassline, before it travels into a lighter tone, incorporating some eurphoric-esque touches alongside a unique vocal effect. 

"I knew this was going to be a phat release for the label as soon as I first heard 'Fire'. It properly goes off every single time I play it. Very unique with a massive vibe.” Says Alan 

‘Gate’ offers something a little different, strongly influenced by Franky’s background in the progressive and trance movements of the 90’s, it has that trance vibe to it. “I love how 'Gate' manages to be both trancey and jacking at the same time. Such a bomb!" Adds Alan. The vocal holds special place on this track, it’s hypnotic and uplifting all in one.

Double dose of dance on this release. Big room sound alongside old school inspired rave vibes – what more could you ask for?

PREMIERE: Frankyeffe - Fire (Original Mix) [We Are The Brave]

Lumberjacks in Hell is a records label run by Marcel Vogel, which like the label boss, has a sound that incorporates everything from rare groove and disco to Chicago house.
With recent releases that have featured music from the likes of Karizma, Soulphiction, Rahaan, Dan Shake and of course Marcel Vogel himself, this new release is from Andy Compton & Shamrock.
Andy Compton is an artist who based in the English city of Bristol, has an eclectic sound that varies between soulful house and jazzy R&B. Often working with live instrumentation either sampled or recorded, he is a talented musician who also releases under the alias of The Rurals.
With over 30 albums and 120 EP’s under his belt Andy Compton also heads up the Peng label, which has signed music from scene leading icons such as Louie Vega, Larry Heard, Mark Farina and Osunlade.
A veteran DJ and producer with decades of experience, Andy Compton's music can be found on other imprints such as GOGO Music, Seasons Recordings, Naked Music and the Chicago based Large.
For this downtempo release Andy has joined forces with African artist Shamrock who is a multi-talented musician with a love of guitars and house music, and has built a reputation for playing DJ sets that incorporate him mixing and playing guitar at the same time.
Shamrock is responsible for much of the musicianship on this release and combined with Andy Compton’s production skills the output is soulful house with African flair and Latin influenced rhythms.
The EP opens with the samba percussion and chimes of “Bunny Chow” but it’s the expertly played bass guitar that provides the groove, and plays a game of call and response with the layers of both male and female vocal chants. Finished with some trumpet flutters, this laid back jazz track is a hustling bustling musical conversation, that everyone who listens what’s to get involved with.

PREMIERE : Andy Compton & Shamrock - Bunny Chow

Drumcode has become a label synonymous with some of the most-cutting edge and forward-thinking techno over the last 20 years. Their artists include both emerging and established names, and one of those well recognised is Enrico Sangiuliano. Now announcing the very first concept album of his career.

The prolific Italian producer has been catapulted into the limelight after the runaway success of his past releases, and now Biomorph is born. 

A very special concept album designed to take the listener on a journey of evolution. A musical adaptation describing how biological and technological advances over numerous generations of time have all started from the same first step in our own biological journey.

Divided into 4 parts, Organisms opens with atmospheric tones, gradually blending complex textures and timbres to begin the evolutional process. The beginning of this section combines full sounding arrangements before stripping it all back to basics. From here it dissolves into the atmosphere. Organisms then progresses into a break-beat influenced, down tempo track using synths to add complexity to the straight, broken rhythms.

Galactic, futuristic elements are found in both tracks in Cosmic Forces. Upbeat, groovy, electronic synths resonate, before ‘Hidden T’ brings the tension to get things pumped up with stratospheric swirls and twirls to lay down one of the most mind meltingly deep drops.

Metamorphosis is mysterious, its opening beat is a deep and piercing tone that sends the listener into a sensory awareness of their surroundings before breaking into a fully charged, techno track, with Enrico’s trademark sounds and textures.

All evolution has an ending.

Two Probabilities shows the positive, starting out evocative and emotional, with a gentle harmony, gazing towards a ‘New Dawn’. On the other side of the spectrum lies the negative. This is influenced with a rhythm that articulates the beat of death, mathematical, cold and metallic in texture, it shows the unsustainability of its nature, with a hectic, anxious break beat influenced ending.

Digital EP (24 May) - itunes.apple.com/gb/album/where-i…ttin/id638765522

A collaboration between Items & Things label boss Marc Houle and Grenoble born techno/electro legend Miss Kittin, IT022 sees the release of “Where is Kittin?” a six track EP featuring two original tracks, as well as remixes from Dubfire, John Foxx & the Maths, and two further edits from Miss Kittin herself.

Building on the disco-not-disco, industrial and new wave influences of Houleʼs recent Items & Things long-player “Undercover”, the two originals on “Where is Kittin?” demonstrate the wide-ranging influences and potent pairing of the production duo: the title track a jagged hybrid of Houleʼs signature style and Kittinʼs deadpan vocal talent. In sharp contrast, A2 track “Black Star” presents an equally driven, yet slightly more ambient affair: its haunting synth lines, detuned claps and granular vocals a poignant reminder of the pairʼs production abilities both on and off the dancefloor.

High profile remix duties come from Sci+Tec Techno mastermind Dubfire, as well as John Foxx & The Maths: a recently formed musical project featuring electronic music pioneers John Foxx and modular synth experimentalist Benge. Dubfire furthers the main room potential of the EPʼs title track, with John Foxx & The Maths bringing the male vocal line to the forefront, turning the track into a roaring techno/electro-pop live hybrid.

With “Where is Kittin?” also acting as a succinct accompaniment to Miss Kittinʼs double album “Calling From the Stars”, out on 22nd of April via wSphere/Wagram, Kittin appropriately rounds off the package with a further two of her own edits, a pair of eloquently stripped-down digitally exclusive versions of the EPʼs two title tracks.
