Exciting newcomer JOPLYN makes her debut on Watergate, marking the final release of 2021.

The Berlin-born artist, with Vietnamese and Canadian heritage, is a prodigal talent who made her first major impact in the electronic music world with her impressive collaboration with none-other-than Booka Shade. The track ‘Polar Lights’ which she co-wrote with the iconic duo featured on their ‘Dear Future Self’ album last year. 

A piano player since the age of six, the music she writes is the product of poems and short stories that explore identity, transience and new beginnings. Her maiden offering on Watergate Records is a dreamy two-tracker, both of which feature her own vocals. ‘Fact & Fiction’ is gorgeous, coming to life through lush pads and delicate percussion. ‘Can’t Get Enough’ gets into your head via a harmonic vocal line and blissful layers of melody that demonstrate her talented for a delicate pop hook that simultaneously moves the dancefloor.

Nic Fanciulli vs &ME - Feel It

Catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? While we’re feeling the spirit of William S. Burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &ME went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category ‘dance track’ for this one.
The meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you’ll find on this A-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. The way he’s kneading the lower frequencies, how he’s channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. Good vocal-selection, for that matter! Then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season.
“Locust” on B comes in with some smoothly looped E-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. But then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up that’s ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. Two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. Or differently put: a flawless double-A-side.

&ME - After Dark (Preview)

Phunk Investigation, Boy George - Generations Of Love 2008 (DJ Dove's True 2 Form Vox Remix)

With his last EP offering on Keinemusik, &ME displayed himself once again as supplier of anthems that easily reconcile style with general floor purpose. You would think, such an universal and inexhaustible tune as this very “After Dark” can only be a lucky hit. But no, he’s knocking out the classic material just like that. Another example? Catalog number KM028, his brandnew “Trilogy” EP.
The titletrack on A initially places a synth arpeggio behind a kick that in dryness is hardly to excel. The beat of "Trilogy" is then seasoned with rimshot patterns until the saturated bassdrum comes in and paves the way to the dancefloor. &ME even refines his knack for stoic grooves on this jam and once again shows his sure feeling for suitable vocal features. Sabotas croon comes devoid of big gestures and still knows the ropes to appeal to the collective mentality of a clubcrowd.
On the flipside, “Woods” is living up to its name from the very beginning. Woody percussions are thumping within an almost subtropical scenario that’s frequently pervaded by mighty synth clouds. And once again, there’s an arpeggio sneaking in that at some point is taking the lead in this strictly instrumental affair. Add a break building that will educe a floor’s complete euphoric potential without going for the rather mindless escalation and there you have it: a B-side that’s actually more of an A-competitor.

As &MEs last two EPs on Keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his KM034 for sure will meet high expectations from DJs and crowd alike. What should one do within this sort of spotlight? Boil up the same old formula? Milk the cow? Play it safe? Well, &ME is rather going for the dont overthink it and just do whatever you like-option. Which in case of this "One On One"-EP is a collaborative effort with English singer/songwriter-enigma Fink thats letting musicality rule over functionality.
The titletrack on A comes creeping over the floor like an ash cloud. Built up on a grainy beat-pattern, having all lightness dashed out by droning bass, before Finks vocals are exorcising the ghosts of a heavy comedown. "One On One" has shaken off the facility of peaktime-consensus, before the straight kick comes in, but even that unmistakeable floor-referral is invalidated by gloomy harmonies after just a few bars. An obvious move against leadsingle-standards, but considering its omnipresent dark narrative and ultimately condensed vibe, "One On One" is without a doubt one of the strongest &ME cuts ever.
The offering on B1 might be considered as a bit more handy, but still: "Cape Coast" is rather grooving along a serious jungle-delirium than delivering easygoing beach-pleasure. A lot of hissing and chirping and rattling going on in between dense synth- and bass-layers, while live-recorded percussions are escalating into frenzy. Tribalhouse of a rather demonic breed.
Finally, Fink is stripping down the original outline of "One On One" into a sinister and subtle Dub-interpretation on B2. Blurred delays, sparse synths and occasionally implemented kick-detonations, reminding of an alarmingly lowered RHR. Meaning even wider room for his charisma breathing croon.

Guy Gerber - What To Do (&ME Remix)

Sequentia 2 is the second chapter of the four fold composition that Luciano has arranged as part of the celebration for Cadenza’s 15th anniversary. Every release is dedicated to a season of the year, and this autumn one, consisting in dimmer tones and snug vibrations, displays all of Luciano’s unique productions skills and his unrivalled touch on the mixing desk.
The initial suspended piano lullaby of “Sphere” brings us to a warm hearth where all the waveforms connect together to make us feel at home, in celestial peace. “Idilicia” is the perfect musical score for an out of space epopee, in which frosted acoustic drums sustain a copious mantle of analogue synthesisers and twiggy artificial harmonies. The sophisticated phrasing “Aether” is a gentle journey above full-bodied bass lines that exudes a romantic tale, flowing into idyllic sanguine chords. At the end, the uplifting tumultuous ballad with a mystical folk aftertaste named “My Fantasy”, bonds exquisitely the sweet taste of a vagrant guitar with hefty deep frequencies and a cluster of compelling Latin percussions; through this thick charming groove, the melancholic magnetic voice of Bastian Baker accompanied by a joyful scintillating choir unwind our souls and our tomorrow. Bastian is a Swiss gifted singer and songwriter, who, at only 18 years old, made his first appearance at the prestigious Montreal Jazz Festival.

“Cancion Mapuche” is an heart-felt dance floor tune with the charming Mapudungun singing of Kathy Prado: Mapundungun is the language of the Pre-Columbian Mapuche inhabitants of south-cantal Chile. The roots of Luciano are South American, and the spirit of his beloved native continent has never left his soul. Throughout the years, Cadenza has released many artists from Latin America, passionately supporting the hot-blooded electronic musical output of this lively part of the planet. Strengthening the connection with his birthplace, Luciano will bring back the extraordinary Magik Garden Festival in late 2019 in Luciano's in his cherished Santiago de Chile. This song is about the Mapu angels, the ancient guardians of southern Chile, which have become stars after their death and are asking us to believe in them again, as our disconnection is putting in danger the nature spirit of the world. A strong compressed kick drum is the foundation of this tune, in which widespread percussions and bouncing cymbals surround an emotional ground shaking bass line and cradling guitars. A souls-stirring work of art that succeed to nestle on dance moves a sincere reflection on our suffering Earth.

CADENZA 121

The marvellous Chilean blooded "Llovizna", produced by the talented Felipe Venegas & Francisco Allendes was originally released in 2009 on Cadenza 40th vinyl release. We are delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its publication with a crisp remix by the mighty Luciano and a rework hot off the press by its original writers. Furthermore, there will be another heavyweight remixer,a big surprise and an appreciated comeback: Loco Dice need no introduction, and his remix of this Cadenza classic leaves us speechless. A magnificent bond of the original latin vibes and astonishing peak-time sound manipulation with a relentless pace. The remixes and the rework will be released both on a vinyl E.P. and in digital format.
"Llovizna" is a track with an indissoluble bound with Cadenza's South America roots, a bound perpetually fortified by the origin of many of the artists involved with the label, and by the choice to host amazing massive events in Chile and in the rest of the continent. A funky bass line and full- bodied reverberating jazz drums make out Luciano's bubbly and shiny remix. The cutting edge climactic sequencing of its synthesisers and the seasoned use of percussive breaks and fills exalt the emotional interlude of the folkloric female Latin chant, just before a fully fledged dancefloor oriented restart.
The rework delivered by Felipe and Francisco starts off banging with a resolved bass drum, rattling shakers and fierce hi-hats. Subtle melodies slowly raise from its minimalistic framework revealing in advance all the sweetness of its Andean singing. A majestic rework, which resonates far beyond from a dj tool aftertaste.

Stavroz's second single from their new "Bleached Flamingo EP" introduces you to the time machine of early morning clubs.. It summons the strange behavior that appears in people in clubs or at festivals at dawn. The energy that awakens you to keep you in close range of the subwoofers. If it's addiction, then we better get admitted. Because that last drink ... Isn't actually your last drink. Your car in the parking lot will be switched for a taxi, or for a walk to the nearby house of a friend. And slowly but steadily, the realization sinks in... You'll be home on Monday, not on Sunday.. Time travel completed.

C'est la goute qui fait déborder le vase." This is the last straw. 
A strong statement in the middle of this EP, for an otherwise carefree bunch of buddies from the East of Flanders. 
That's only one side of the picture, though. This frustration and despair gets bundled with gratefulness and hope in their most recent "Bleached Flamingo EP". So don't take them for pessimists. Yes, they like some drama. And it's up to Stavroz to translate this in their way to music. 
Melancholic yet mesmerizing, confident yet haunting, but not too much that it sucks the life out of you. Because they added groove. And groove is life.
