Random Musings, March 2018

Harper Lee's latest Tech House offering, 'Gritty Logic,' is a masterclass in stripped-back intensity. This track drives with a relentless, raw energy, fueled by a powerful, distorted bassline and intricate, sharp percussion. It's a no-nonsense exploration of the genre's deeper, more uncompromising sound, designed to command the dancefloor with its hypnotic and unyielding groove.

Proton Premiere: Antti Rasi - Liitaejae (Speaking in Tongues Remix) [Sound Avenue]

Senso’s approach to delivering the finest in pulsating, dancefloor rocking techno continues with the release of the Level 04 EP. Featuring four killer tracks by four different artists, the EP provides
a welcome reminder of the rude health techno finds itself in during 2017/18. 
First up are STAB Virus, the South African duo of Siphe Tebeka and Makonwabe Bekwa, who are making waves internationally with their uncompromising style. Accompanied by Citizen Kain
- the French producer is adding his own signature slant. 'Torium' is a starkly effective slice of streamlined, sharp edged techno. Label favourite Carlo Ruetz carved out a niche for himself with
his ‘twisted technoid minimal’ sound, a philosophy he continues to adhere to here - 'Sky's Black' bubbles with menace and attitude, fizzing over into moments of barely restrained euphoria.
Mr. Bizz - the duo of two Italian brothers Fabrizio and Matteo Floris - maintain the quality with their cut 'Algarve' - a muscular techno outing with a narcotic, wonky edge. Another regular on the label - the UK’s dubspeeka brings his own flavour to proceedings - 'Aakash' is a superbly crafted burner - a pulsating rhythm track punctuated by abstracted melodic hits.

Tracklist:
01. Citizen Kain, STAB Virus: Torium
02. Carlo Ruetz: Sky’s Black
03. Mr. Bizz: Algarve
04. dubspeeka: Aakash

BUTCH - COUNTACH (KÖLSCH REMIX) - COR12150

There’s a big reason to celebrate, as we face the 150th release on Cocoon Recordings! That’s right, 150 prime cuts with a number of milestones. It’s hard to single out any one for particular praise but even so, we still have something very special planned for the anniversary. With a certain affection, we wanted to present an artist from the region so it’s with great pleasure that we can unveil “Countach” from the one and only Butch, as a more than worthy anniversary release. The native Mainzer and sometime Berliner is without doubt one of the most dazzling German Tech-House artists of the moment. His performances contain a full dose of funkiness and his self-made promo videos never fail to entertain, providing a lot of fun in the process. First and foremost though, Butch is an exceptional producer, who, as one of the chosen few, knows how to mix together those special ingredients that drag us onto the dance floor again and again. What’s more, since we really have something to celebrate, we don’t just have an original from Butch, it’s accompanied by a remix from none other than Kölsch!

If the term "man of the moment" applies to any artist then it’s got to be Kölsch! At least that’s true when it comes to hypnotic techno with a subtle yet seductive touch of trance. Kölsch is currently operating on another level. Whatever he touches turns to gold, turns moments on the dance floor into unforgettable experiences to be written down in the annals of techno.
His Kompakt release "Cassiopeia", as well as his remixes including the Chemical Brothers, stand out as musical testimonies of the past two years. The series of musical landmarks from the house of Kölsch is endless and his remix of Butch’s "Countach" is no exception!

With poise and purpose like the Lamborghini of the same name, Kölsch takes us on an epic journey with his remix here, but as things progress he still has the foresight to jams on the brakes, keeping the dance floor honest by slowing things down to cruise control for the middle of his ride. What a trip, a true adventure, a techno road movie that could only come from Kölsch!
Of course, after a remix like that, there’s not much left to say but this is techno and our man Butch is anything but normal! He just knows instinctively how to bring things to the boil and demonstrates it very impressively again on his original version. Implementing a ‘nasty’ arpeggio line that captivates us before being hunted down by a prime-time filter, Butch summons up an acid monster that works without a 303 but is no less effective. If that’s not enough Butch also proves himself a master of ecstatic dance during the closing sections, serving up an emotional string arrangement that glimmers and shines. As a result, “Countach” with his nice fat strings becomes an instant dance floor catcher.

It’ll probably be very difficult to pick a favourite from these two mixes, which makes this cut even fatter! It’s a great release brimming with pathos and full-on emotions.

Born in Poland and now operating out of the ever-effervescent London, the adoptive city where she’s learnt the ropes of music production and Djing, Ańii – real name Ania Iwinska – has lived many lives in one. Yet if one thing’s remained a constant over the years, no matter the harshness of the obstacles life threw at her, it’s indeed a deep and inextinguishable love for music; be it behind the mixing desk at Wired Studios or in her own Shoreditch workroom, the key place where she’s kept honing her skills with unfazed diligence, up to the point of making it her actual second home.

Ańii lands her debut transmission on Kompakt and surely not the last. Named after the Polish word for ‘roots’, ‘Korzenie’ finds Ania threading her way in between subtle deep-house and techno folds, delving into the essential strength of her past and present to carve out an hypnotic maelstrom of traditional Polish music strings, tribal percussions and elegiac melodies. Coupling eerie ostinatos with stealthy bass moves, it’s an ode to the magnitude of memory and power of resilience that reels out, blurring the line between late night club environment and further spacious, moony soundscapes.

Barcelona based, Venezuelan duo, Fur Coat return to Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint with the imperious 'Babel' EP. Three original cuts, plus a remix feature from the in-demand Italian duo Hunter/Game.

Kicking off the EP is the title track 'Babel', a stripped back, melodic club heater, tinged with hypnotic, cosmic synth transmissions. Up next, 'Technical Maneuvers' is a bold yet refined cut which is neatly contrasted with dramatic synth blasts.
On the flip, the captivating, rolling groove of 'The Gate' takes things up a notch, and Hunter/Game turn down the lights with their remix on the title track 'Babel’. An undulating take ready to grace the dance floor.

If you are new to Moving Pictures music – you should get comfortable and embrace sounds served with passion from bottom of the heart. This will be a journey in a timeless space.

Third release in form of another vinyl record will be sounding just like that. Carefully prepared & designed by 2 label founders Roman Rai & Täino from bohemian neighborhoods of Prague.

Roman Rai is delivering 2 emotionally charged tracks ‘Nature & Silence’ and ‘White Walls Everywhere’ – both equally engulfed in waves of melancholia and mystery. Both tracks will be coming on his full-length album ‘Middle of Nowhere’ that will see the world next month. As always – Roman puts unpredictability, energy and touching emotion above everything else and this release is not an exception.

Third track is a remix of ‘Nature & Silence’ delivered by our Täino – being his favorite track from Roman’s upcoming LP. Täino adds his own spin to the original version, by creating heavier and more obscure record designed to deliver infectious groove even on bigger club sound-systems.

So get your turntable out, put the needle on, close your eyes and get oblivious. It is time to get lost in the textures of Moving Pictures.

“Early support of the EP from Sasha, Adriatique, Ruede Hagelstein, KOLLEKTIV TURMSTRASSE, SevenDoors, Remcord, Danny Tenaglia, Allies for Everyone, Death on the Balcony, Biggs Veiran (GusGus), Anthony Pappa, D-Nox, Nihil Young, Moodymanc, Greg Fenton, Nick Warren, Glenn Morrison, Bill Brewster.”
