Snippet: Maher Daniel & Matthew Dekay - Tauben (ARAS04)

Download/Stream >> https://fanlink.to/get-together

After a five-year hiatus, London based brothers, party planners, production partnership and DJ duo, Krankbrother, return to business with the release of a new three track single, ‘Get Together’.

The passage of time often dictates the creative process; family commitments, life changing events and shifts in lifestyle are there to be embraced, and Danny & Kieran Clancy have spent their downtime period in many ways, both on musical and creative paths as well as on personal journeys.  And so, it’s touching to return with a production like ‘Get Together’, with its affirming vocal line and inspirational melodies, all set to the kind of four to the floor groove that has become synonymous with Krankbrother tracks, DJ sets and parties.  And after what seems like a period of time rebounded back to the dark ages, the sentiment of ‘Get Together’ is more relevant now than it’s ever been.

On ‘All Her Loneliness’, similar tropes of positivity are offered up, with hustling beats and warm synth work weaving around micro-vocal samples, whilst ‘Same Heads’ dishes out some luscious tropical atmospherics amongst its percussive rhythms and off kilter tones.

A welcome return then for Krankbrother in their capacity as music makers and vibes men, and whose parties are still very much the staple of London’s club and festival calendar.

Ever since the first white labels appeared at the end of Summer 2013, [Emotional] Especial has been putting out music that is slightly left of (club music) centre. Influenced as much by and including dub, electro, disco, proto-house, house and techno, guided more by a feeling than a sound. 

This thinking has been that exemplified by every 10th release being a label sampler - a showcase of unreleased tracks or remixes of what has come before, plus the odd one off cut by an artist to watch. Some 4 years since the last Sampler, the label's 40th release presents new label heads Giraffi Dog, returning after their recent "live" Multiverse EPs, here teaming up with GF Rich for a breaks anthem. Sub bass rising, the persistent build leads to piano before drop and Acid mayhem ensues, highlight why G Dog are such a producer to watch. 

Label mainstay Alphonse returns, with White Pepper from the "Stolen Sunrise EP", here remixed by House stalwart Toby Tobias. Having released for a who's who of labels including REKIDS, ESP Institute, Delusions Of Grandeur and Futureboogie, the illusion these past years of who is Alphonse can finally revealed as Toby himself. The remix of his alter ego takes the 'Balearics' of the original and adds breaks and 303, all retaining a laid back feeling for summers return.

On the flip, the label welcomes rising star, Remotif. With a series of EPs showcasing a growing talent, his recent Coymix release sealed the deal. Here, his comedically titled Beam Me Up Softwoiii belies a party anthem, where breaks and arps rise in unison before an Aphex sunrise burst, drops and heads down in pure dance. 

Akio Nagase returns to close with another of his Japanese folk meets lilting 303 Acid House. An Okinawa traditional folk song, conveying a life lesson, here to Hosenka flower is laid across slo-mo acid bubbles to quirkily and perfectly complete another 10th release of the Especial path.

A decade into his career, London-based, Doncaster born DJ and producer Mella Dee shows no signs of letting up. Bringing a strong work ethic to his creativity, Mella Dee (or Ryan Aitchison) is nothing but prolific. A steady stream of EPs and singles on labels including Saoirse’s trUst Recordings, Pete Tong’s Three Six Zero and his own Warehouse Music has seen the Yorkshireman move from glitchy techno to euphoric synth laden house to joyous peak-time anthems; all the while becoming a favourite at clubs around the world including Berlin’s Berghain, Barcelona’s Nitsa club, and Amnesia Ibiza and taking his All Night Long parties everywhere from the big room Telegraph Building in Belfast to the intimate Sneaky Petes in Edinburgh. A regular in the record bags of everyone from Saoirse, Midland and The Blessed Madonna, he’s also a DJ and producer who always has at least one foot on the dance floor. “Playing clubs all around the world and making different dance floors move has definitely improved me as a DJ and producer,” he says. “And if I’m not in the booth, I want to be on the dance floor. That’s what drives me. Making music that I want to hear on the dance floor”. Bassiani Podcast 188 is a pocket-sized dose of stripped back rhythms, an offbeat nod to UK garage, breakbeat and house that gently rolls along at a cruising pace. Insouciant grooves for those front-left.

Tracklist: 
A1. Pierre Codarin - Millenial 
A2. T. Jacques - Terry’s Jambon 
B1. Jack Michael - Zero 
B2. Phil Evans - Tilted

Opening up the release, British producer Pierre Codarin’s ‘Millenial’ is a stuttering cut with a bouncy bassline, metallic hats and crystalline synths that continually evolve throughout. T. Jacques is next with ‘Terry’s Jambon’ which drives forward with its mesmerising rhythm built on 909 kicks and intricate percussion as lively 303 squelches join cascading arps. On the flip, Orbital London boss Jack Michael takes things into trippier territories with soaring pads, syncopated drums and otherworldly atmospherics in ‘Zero’. Tying it all together, Pager Records co-owner Phil Evans dons his Electro hat for an ominous and scintillating number entitled ‘Tilted’.  Spaghetti Club 001 drops on 3rd July 2020.

drawing from early musical influences including Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Bauhaus, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, New Order, The Cure, Tears For Fears and of course the strange and beautiful music of Kraftwerk, James has remained dedicated to the art of digging and performing as a DJ for nearly three decades. Starting his first weekly DJ residency as well as a live mixed radio show in 2001 at WNUR 89.3FM, he has played at several hundred gigs in Chicago, around the midwest as well as in Detroit, Miami (WMC), San Francisco (Spundae, Loveparade) and internationally as well including Sydney & Melbourne/AUS, Tokyo/JP, London/UK, Mexico, Canada, Bulgaria, Serbia and elsewhere. He has booked, promoted and organized major events and has opened for many pioneering and influential artists including Juan Atkins, Ritchie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Satoshi Tomiie, John Digweed, James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Richard Fearless (Death in Vegas), Claude Young, Derrick Carter, Diplo, John Tejada, Phil K, Steve Lawler, Sandra Collins, Paul Oakenfold, The Crystal Method, Way Out West, BT, Paul Oakenfold & others..
Re-locating from downtown Chicago to Los Angeles in early 2013, James enjoys the chance to share his love for real house music, detroit inspired house-techno, acid house, electro, ambient, dub and other properly heady dance music. His dedication to the rich musical roots of Chicago, Detroit, Berlin can be heard (and felt) in his dynamic vinyl DJ sets as well as live performance.

His passion for the music is also extended through to his his ongoing studio efforts and DIY analog-style productions, remixes and collaborations..
