This is the fifth stand-alone EP from him for Electric Deluxe, on top of his last LP ‘Comedy Of Menace,’ and offers three more exquisite samples of what the techno veteran does best. Almost a counter-point to Fixmer’s last EDLX release-the dubby, warmed through ‘When The Sun’ EP-’Bells’ is a homage to the pitch black dance floors of the night, with all his hypnotism and industrial hues in place. “Bells” opens right in the thick of it, with alarm knells and viscous vapours swirling round a lasso loop that will hook you until sunrise. “In Chains” is it’s raw cousin-just as dark, unsettled, and riled with analogue sounds. But as midnight begins to dip into eternity, closer “Subspace Two” offers up a lasting sunny reprieve. The EP ends on a serotonin-soaked moment where dub, techno and house close their eyes and sway as one. ‘Bells’ is a versatile record, which sees Terence Fixmer cater for every nocturnal occasio

Austin Cesear 
West Side 
PUBINF015 
Release Date: 29th September 2014 
6 Track Mini LP / Download 

And so we present a second record from our NY via San Francisco family, a blossoming talent, Austin Cesear. Primed and fresh from a 12” on Anthony Naples’ Proibito label and an Opal Tapes cassette, he surfaces again over a year on from his widely revered Cruise Forever LP – welcome to West Side. 

Heavily inspired by the dockside location of Oakland Port, CA. This is Austin Cesear beside black water in the darkest hours, white sodium light bouncing across the surf. Searching across the bay, industry stands proud in the early morning haze. Cargo, containers, machines. Cranes pierce the sky, gulls scream, motors grind - the rush and roar of a new working day in his ears. 

Back in the studio these sounds, these sights manifest. Track One – La Paloma, the liquid blue dawn, loops into the horizon. Whilst track two – Ain’t It So (Necessary) becomes a twitchy techno shuffle that soon breaks down into the disused mechanic sludge of Cloven Hoov. Easy Bend is then a lesson in the sublime. A machine rhythm in mourning, an aching drone, the soundtrack to ships rolling out of the Bay, toward new worlds. Then the growl of Samareda... a storm of insects hammering against a kick-thump that grows and grows before a shower of voices sweeten the mood to take us home in a blaze of light. Stunning tackle. Bee Free (Warlick Mix) is the endgame – a rugged swagger of moody bump n’ beat. The funkiest thing on here. 

And so we leave Oakland, we leave Austin Cesear... until next time. This young producer is steadily becoming a mature soul, an exceptional sound, a moment of calm in an ever breathless, over crowded market.

Austin Cesear - La Paloma (Taken from West Side mini-album released 29th September 2014

Conforce - Digital Affair

LE TERRIBLE :

As the name already suggests this EP is up for some serious damage. 

' Le Terrible' Is a dynamic and powerful monster of a techno track which pumps up your adrenaline with its pounding bass drum and hypnotic built ups. Gut Feeling!

'Concept C' is a strong track in which Terence Fixmer works his production magic with more experimental elements such as drone sounds and his ragged and slightly distorted signature bass. Nonetheless creating a high energy level tune ready to be unleashed on the dancefloor.

'Dance like Paranoid' (Marcel Dettmann Remix)“. Marcel's remix wins you over by its carefully arranged melody and drum pattern which creates a melancholic and timeless rave anthem. Bliss!

Digitally the release is accompanied by `Le Terrible (Terence Fixmer Tool)’captivating the essential sound scapes of the original. `Le Terrible’ le techno sublime!
