Guided by the belief that the smallest sounds often make the biggest noise, Frame/Frame plumbs the natural soundscape for his debut album, ‘Driftwood’, a carefully crafted distillation of his own experiences and experiments with electronic music and beyond.

There is beauty to be found even in the prosaic— creaking oars form the undulating rhythm of the title track, the bassline on ‘3 am at Magfields’ is a rasping door, a whistle recorded in the bathroom becomes a compelling hook in ‘U.N.I.’, while kitchen utensils sup- ply the rousing percussion in ‘High Ceilings’.

‘Driftwood’ is an invitation to move, to breathe, to smile, to see the world with the clarity that only a 4 am dance-floor epiphany can provide.

"They say the soul cannot rest until it finds its match, then it ignites”

Chaos In The CBD put forward two intriguing, sensual and romantic tracks, aimed at audiophiles who celebrate their beauty and cherish their fantasies.

The Intimate Fantasy EP opens with the title track. A deep house cut with a groove like a single flower blooming in an endless desert. The drums are warm, comfortable and smooth and the track is decorated with irresistible guitar licks. 

Flip the record over to find "Club Miyako", a cut that is alive with enchantment and rich with the thrill of the chase. An intoxicating bassline weaves through the pads and piano stabs to form a love potion of sweet temptation and sensuality.

Chaos In The CBD - Intimate Fantasy

Freedom meant different things to different people. It came in different forms... There were globally recognised freedoms; human rights that we all should have though many didn't. There were personal freedoms, the little things that were individual to you, some might understood them but others might not. Then there were shared freedoms; burying yourself in a good book, beavering away in the kitchen, sweating it out in the gym, or losing yourself in the music and dancing your cares away.

It's no secret we've been fans of Leipzig's R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings for some time. Well now they're expanding the label family with a brand spanking new offshoot, Breakfree Records, headed up by R.A.N.D. label manager Reece Walker and his pal Salomo. It just so happens that the pair are also very talented producers (you might have heard their tracks on the parent label before) so they're taking matters into their own hands for the debut release, FREE01, which in typical fashion sees them journey through house grooves and techy pumpers.

Alexander Robotnick - Simple Music
BUY LINK: https://www.junodownload.com/products/alexander-robotnick-simple-music/5773942-02/
Label: Hot Elephant Music 
https://soundcloud.com/alexander-robotnick

Long-time Italian electronic music pioneer Alexander Robotnick returns with a new album, ‘Simple Music’, this winter. Across eight tracks, he distils a lifetime of influences into fresh, forward-thinking disco cuts that bring a whole new vitality to the scene.

The legendary Robotnick (a nickname Maurizio Dami assumed in the 80s) is a towering name in Florentine music and someone who very much defined the early disco scene thanks to a superb run of enduring club cuts, not least his seminal 'Problèmes D'amour'. Although he is now in his 70s, he is still kicking out essential jams. His music features plenty of the arpeggios that have always given his music its character, coming on labels like Permanent Vacation, Clone, Bordello a Parigi and Bosconi Records. Few artists understand analogue machines and dance floor mechanics like this man, as he proves once more with this, his eighth studio album.

The concept of ‘Simple Music’ is to craft tunes for any setting. It is about combining traditional music parts, chords, melodies and songs to make music that is varied and vibrant and constantly evolving. Says Alexander, "Riffs and grooves are not endless, and when you are my age, you may have heard them already. I am having more and more trouble finding interesting tracks for myself, so I felt the need to produce “simple” music that generates genuine feelings in a music scene that can be averse to risk."

Seductive disco-house opener 'Babel' is about the difficulties of understanding each other, even if we speak the same language and culture. The vocoder vocals take centre stage next to lush chords, then 'It Is So Easy' has a smug character in the vocal refrain and a sneering attitude in the verses that is playful and characterful next to the rugged and punchy drum grooves. The brilliant 'Why' is built on elastic electro-disco and muses on a lover’s inconsistency, while the space disco of 'Underpass' is a dark vision of a late-night walk that channels the original Robotnick sound of the early 80s.

The heartbroken robot lullaby 'Virtual Empathy' is about "the empathic feelings induced by mainstream TV to manipulate mass consensus", whilst 'I Want To Know' finds Robotnick describing his dreams and wondering about their meaning over funky bass twangs and serene disco sounds. Then comes the only instrumental 'Intro-Robo' with its multi-layered arpeggios and the magnificent title track, which captures the whole essence of the album with taught retro bass, icy hi-hats and stiff rhythms that will jerk any floor into action.

I've always wanted to do an Aretha Franklin edit but hadn't heard the right track, when I eventually heard Rock Steady I loved all the elements so it was an easy choice. Super happy with how this one turned out.

This is the third of 4 edits to come in this series xx
