AM003

Premiere: Angel Rocket - Oyster Perpetual [Accidental Meetings]

After various publications with Schimmer Records, W133, and zwoelfnullsieben, Timo Rinker debuts his first full album, presenting a collection of both older and more recent projects. Creating a metonymy between a Golden Hour spent in the lush and dewy mornings in the forests of Sri Lanka and the vivacious sweatiness of the final hour of a night at the club, Timo Rinker presents personal moments of bliss, wedged between night and day. Dew is the first track, easing into the album with light drums and an atmospheric sound. The album continues, becoming less atmospheric and more breaky with every track while still being less rough than the second half of the album. Building up the energy further towards the second half of the album, Rituals with its heavy rhythm and bass begins Rinker's switch to a more experimental breakbeat sound, culminating in the electronica sound of Fast Paced. Solar Radiation marks the departure from the more experimental sound into techno and is followed by Insects a bouncy track bopping along like an ant train through a nightclub. Golden Hour, the title-giving track is a joyous ode to summer while the final track Hold Me finishes the album with a melancholic expression of the fleeting nature of contentment.

Morning Exercises

Premiere: Timo Rinker - Morning Exercises | W133

One year on from his first appearance on the PM+ series, Glasgow’s LWS returns with another two surefooted club cuts shot through with the emergent producer’s trademark flair and laser focus. Matching crisp functionality with dance-melting peaks, he’s zeroed in modernist machine music to incite a feverish response in the firmly established format of the PM+ releases. 

‘Oop’ ratchets down its rhythm section in an instant, leaning on a hefty sub payload and sprinkling some lopsided spectral synth work up top. It’s the buzzing sawtooth bass which will really cast brains and bodies asunder though, gouging a path through the springy groove like a hyped raver making a beeline for front left dosed up on Irn-Bru. 

‘Routine Supreme’ has its own share of fireworks to set off, maintaining the instinctive bounce of ‘Oop’ before derailing the circus train with staccato tech triplets to get gun fingers twitching manically. There’s space for pitch-sliding breakdowns and subtly euphoric peaks, but the rhythm section remains front and centre for maximum club capability. 

Road tested by the trustiest of turntable botherers, both these cuts come with a rave-wrecking guarantee, but that’s no surprise as LWS confirms his prime position in the liminal zone where house, techno and bass coalesce.

DJ Swagger - Day Without You

Although 30 years after its birth this fundamental electronic gem called 'Reflections' has achieved cult status, it is worth remembering that it all started in 1993 in a small apartment in Waterloo, London, with the help of a mixer and a bunch of hardware synth and drum machines of hardware, with the mastodontic Oberheim OB-8 synthesizer as the main partner.

While in the UK the vast majority of kids showed a certain rejection of what came from North America in the form of electro, Kirk Degiorgio, under his alias As One, embraced it openly and incorporated it into his productions along with influences from other genres that he had already adored since he was young, such as jazz, soul or funk, thus becoming one of the true early adopters of Detroit techno in the UK.

If we look back, 'Reflections' is a challenge in itself, and even more so considering what the consumption pattern of electronic music was in the early 90s. This timeless album fits into the delicate border between being enough club to work on the dance floor, and still being musical and cerebral enough to be listened to at home. A milestone that, whether premeditated or not, Degiorgio more than achieved.

Three decades later Lapsus Records has been able to access the pre-masters extracted from the original DATs to build a special 30th anniversary edition within its Perennial series. For the occasion, this reissue not only offers the tracks included in the first edition, it also adds the songs 'The Priestess' –never released on vinyl before– and Forgotten Memory –until now unreleased and rediscovered in one of the DATs dating back to 1992 from the 'Reflections' recording sessions. We are therefore facing the definitive edition of an album that, despite coexisting with the explosion of the rave movement, would pave the path for the UK-Detroit connection.

All tracks written, mixed and produced by Kirk Degiorgio.

A serious underground figure in the Aotearoa dance scene, for our 10th podcast we are thrilled to have Shli join us with an hour of freaky and ferocious Militant n' electro dance beats. Based out of Wellington New Zealand, Shli has defined his self as a mixologist when it comes to his production, a crazii-cross road of trance licked Jungle breaks, and experimental club as some might put it. With healthy self releases and appearances on Holding Hands and Echo train records, Shli has definitely nailed his splinter into the global dance scene and we are stoked to see what Shli has up his shlieve for us in the near future xP

Enjoy and lots of love Shli! Link in the Bio as per and soz fam for the later one hehe we will be back on track next week with Gemma Maree, mwah xo
