Hands up, who knows what 'Ubuntu' means? Oh and quieten down you computer nerds, we're not talking about the Linux based operating system as that'd be, well, beyond boring. Anyone? No? We'll tell you then. It means "I am because we are" and serves as the inspiration behind Italian DJ and producer Federico Grazzini's new record label of the same name. 

Starting life with a four track various artist EP, the outlet aims to serve as an "interactive open space" where music and other art forms can be shared by like-minded individuals.

 Featuring cuts from from E-Dward!, Double Dash and Grazzini himself, Ubuntu 001 has a Futurama theme running through the record, with several of the track titles paying homage to Matt Groening's popular animated science fiction series.

Out now on wax, it's the label founder's effort, 'Bender' that most impressed us here at Data Transmission HQ and thus is the number we knew we just had to nab for premiere. A retrofitted glimpse of the future, you can check out 'Bender' in all all its techno fuelled glory now.  Go on, you won't regret it.

Federico Grazzini - Bender

On March 14th 2016 one of the UK’s most talented rising DJ/producers Copy Paste Soul returns to Exploited with his brand new EP entitled “Flare”.
 
This outstanding three-track offering follows the Londoner’s acclaimed “Home” release on Exploited last year, and further releases on imprints such as Suara, FCOM, Gruuv, Intec, Alive Records, MadTech plus his very own 2 Swords Records which have helped his music garner support from the electronic music elite including; Laurent Garnier, Moxie, Carl Cox, Annie Mac, Justin Martin, MistaJam, Skream, T. Williams, Modeselektor, Disclosure and Tensnake.
 
As ever, the soul drenched warmth usually found in his productions sit across all three tracks here, as he continues to advance his signature sound that comprises Detroit Techno, US garage and D&B into a left of centre broken sound. Building on his recent “In Focus” on Intec, Copy Paste Soul delves deeper into his techno past with an EP offering up an EP with rave inspired low-end bass goodness.

“Flare” is out on 14th March on Exploited.

Copy Paste Soul - Flare  | Exploited

The glitzy synths and lavish drops of the original have been swapped out in favour of something decidedly darker. Rumbling basslines and meandering riffs are layered on top of rumbling low-ends and minimal yet focused percussion. 

It's aimed at the warehouses rather than the main stages but we have no doubt that you'll be hearing this one crashing through a sound-system very soon.

Michael Klein – Metals EP [SECOND STATE: SNDST016]

The return of Michael Klein was imminent. Considering the magnitude of his last offering, the „Drawing EP“, it was only a matter of time before he returned with another stellar parcel of forward thinking dance floor bombshells. With his latest contribution ‚Metals EP’, Michael presents four stunning numbers displaying not only his trademark sound, but his evolution and range as a highly promising new artist.
The expedition kicks off with „Silver“ and with it a lush presentation of the perfect balance between thrust and elation. While a persistent rush of momentum keeps the pace, slow yet infectious rises and vast ethereal cries of spacious flickers set the stage for a cosmic ride reminiscent of indigenous settings with boundless, star lit skies.
Following suit on the A side sees Michael return to his approach heard on his last EP. Somewhere between the traditional fundamentals and the future stylings of the most distinguished techno lies „Opaque“. With incredible force and exuberance, Klein delivers off kilter grooves that create a contagious, sweat laden exhilaration, nothing short of pure warehouse bliss.
Kicking off the B side is „Outer Shell“ and it is by far the most emotional and cosmic of all the tunes. Opulent melodics construct beams of radiant light found only in the outer reaches of deep space as flashes of meteoric rises and low bursts of impetus propel the auditor into a never-ending journey into a place where time and space cease to exist.
Wrapping things up is a slow burner entitled „Dura 2 feat. aGhost“. A tune that can be played fast or at the slower original speed, it's a beautiful demonstration of resistance and inflection. As chants of a mysterious female fill the room, shimmers of lavish chimes circle slowly to secure an impassioned sentiment of sorrow, excitement and desire.
To compliment the beauty of 'Dura 2' we've enrolled the services of Roman Lindau to put his spin on the original. With just a few elements Lindau expertly creates a monster of a dance floor stormer. As the bassline continually grows and shrinks with a simple but highly effective four to the floor groove, the excitement swells as short stabs of vocals entice the crowd to peaking trepidation.

Enjoy and lose yourself in the infinite aural landscape of Michael Klein's Metals‘ EP.

Jamie Jones has always had the golden touch when it comes to remixes and his sumptuous edit takes no prisoners. 

There's a seriously heavy bassline running throughout and the serene vocals of Eglė Sirvydytė​ are kept intact. It's a bit of a monster and some warped gurgles and rumbles give it a darkened edge. Check it.

Premiere: Catz 'N Dogz 'Good Touch' ft. Eglė Sirvydyte (Jamie Jones Remix)

Ferro Live At Hyte X Fuse Amsterdam - Warehouse Elementenstraat February 28 - 2016

What if we told you that you could enjoy the sound of tomorrow today, would you be interested? Forgive for getting all Morpheus on you - that's the black guy from The Matrix for all you teeny boppers out there - but we're a little bit excited here at Data Transmission HQ and Italian producer Lehar's latest production, Number One Hero,  is to blame. 

Making his debut on Diynamic’s sister label 2DIY4, we've been unable to get his new single - or its two accompanying remixes - off our office playlist since it arrived in our bulging inbox last month and so set about securing one of the record's three incarnations for exclusive premiere. 

Unfortunately for us, we were given the opportunity to have our pick of the litter. Much head scratching then ensued and after multiple shouting matches and a narrowly won vote, the ayes had it and we decided that Cologne producer Peter Pardeike's rework was ever so slightly more our cup of tea. That's not to say we don't love Engrave LTD boss Musumeci's version, we do, and with both are set to pick up heavy play in a club near you soon, we're sure you will too. Until then check out you can stream Pardeike's rerub above. You'll be glad you did.

Lehar - Number One Hero (Peter Pardeike Remix)

Intergalactic bleeps, alien build-ups and an abundance of mechanical groove are present on this one. We reckon it's going to find its way into the maestro's sets and we can't wait to hear it out on a system. Check it.


Premiere: Shit Robot 'End Of The Trail' (Roman Flügel Remix)

We've listened to the new album by Borderland in full and it doesn't disappoint. The first track to be taken from the album is 'Riod' and we've got the first full premiere of the track. 

Although it clocks in at over 130bpm, it manages to beautifully blend ​serene melodies with a focused drive that's built upon fierce kicks and scattered hi-hats.

If this doesn't get you excited for the rest of the album then we're not sure what will. Borderland are back and they've once again shown why the sound of Detroit holds such a presence within the German institution. 

Premiere: Juan Atkins & Moritz Von Oswald present Borderland 'Riod'

Mix of the Day : Jody Barr

In September last year, we teamed up with SCAR and our old pals at Metalheadz to bring you an exclusive premiere of 'Caged'. Now, as the duo return with a savage remix of Rufige Kru classic 'Dark Rider', we've got an exclusive SCAR mix to get your Saturday night started early.

SCAR is the joint project of Survival and Script, who together turn out menacing, hard-edged drum & bass. Their remix of 1992 track 'Dark Rider' features on the 2-track Goldie presents Rufige Kru EP, alongside a new VIP of 'Beachdifta' featuring vocals from Cleveland Watkiss. The release continues Goldie's long-awaited return, which the 'Headz boss kicked off with 'Broken Man' at the end of last year.

In the spirit of the release, SCAR have cooked up an 'Old Skool Headz Mix', packed with golden oldies from the likes of Dillinja, Doc Scott, Adam F and more.

Mix Of The Day: SCAR (Old Skool Headz Mix)

Matthew Styles - Clandestine Emotions

With his new Pink Fly EP having just dropped via his own Whistleblower imprint, genre blurring UK producer Reset Robot serves up a seismic edition of DT podcast guaranteed to get you flexing all of those boogying muscles.

A Portsmouth native, Reset Robot runs the UK label alongside fellow South Coaster's Alan Fitzpatrick and Rhymos, and having developed an eclectic sound residing in the shadowy depths between techno and house, looks set to have the biggest of years ahead of him.

The record follows the producer's recent excursions alongside Jon Gurd and Tom Powell as one third of burgeoning techno triumvirate Mister Woo, and offers a complex blend of raw electronica, twisted beat patterns and snarling sonics guaranteed to set dancefloors on fire.

Created in his own image, the mix reflects both of his recent EPs in its ability to make coarse, muscular clutter undisputably danceable. Packed with his own material with a few works from from Roman Lindau and Hybrasil scattered in for good measure, the mix is available to stream and download now.

We don't like techno, we love it...
