There's just something about acid... perhaps it's the microtones. Frequencies that lay buried in traditional Western scales are pulled from their slumber and tossed to the sky. 

The "All The Way" EP came to life back in 2019 after an impulse purchase of a Roland 303 clone. What started as an ambient B-side evolved into an organic, soulful expression, radiating hope for the future. To round off this release, fellow Meeanjin/Brisbane creatives David Versace and Charlie Hill contributed two remixes along with Squid's ‘Dreamspace Mix', bringing the EP to a grand total of five unique tracks, each tracing back to the same origin.

After having recently released on AEON and Roam Recordings, Franz Matthews returns home on his HIFI/LOFI imprint by unveiling his Symmetric Dance EP, showing us once more how the producer likes to play with the codes of House, Space Disco, and Indie Dance by intertwining them and turning them into his very own secret sauce.

The trip starts with the eponymous Symmetric Dance, where a faster-than-usual Franz brings us into the groove with a deep bass line supporting the words of a sort of musical guru, leading you (yes, you.) progressively into the ecstatic moment of the Symmetric Dance, here materialised by a catchy house-y piano part that later exploses into a festival of notes before coming back to an infamous rhythm that we dare you not to dance to. Does it feel like summer ? Yes, probably.

Moving on to Zero Gravity, we step into a fast-paced ride of cosmic synth escapades that take our vehicle on a full throttle run until it has left the launching ramp and floats into mid-air, not really knowing when or where it will land. But, just as you finished catching your breath again, you land back on earth, full speed, and navigate in the middle of another asteroid galaxy tour, taking a few Machs along the way until it is time for the next bump. Will you land back on your feet this time ? Yes, probably.

Closing the cosmic ride, the slower ‘Herbie Crashed The Party’ is a progressive burner constructed around a centre ARP2600 synth line evolving throughout the whole track and being joined by funky guitars, heady synth ornementations, and a stabby brass ensemble that opens up the door to what seems to be the ghost of an unusual guest as the party goes on, which makes us wonder if it was a good idea to let Herbie Hancock in at the party ? And again we will answer : Yes, probably.

Tracklist: 

1- Symmetric Dance
2 - Zero Gravity
3 - Herbie Crashed The Party
4 - Symmetric Dance (Radio Edit)

PREMIERE: Franz Matthews - Symmetric Dance [HIFI/LOFI Records]

Curated by Barcelona-based French artist Agle, Rewind It is an imprint focused on the past. Its output triggers a “nostalgic voyage through the era of silver screens, reel-to-reel tape recorders, and the timeless melodies that continue to resonate in our memories”. A feeling that can be tasted through its still small but growing catalogue which is soon welcoming a new addition: The very first volume of the “A Kind Of Disco” VA series presents four nostalgia-infused cuts made with love by none other than Bottin (SXDNS045), Albion Venables, Rotciv (SXDNS069), and the label honcho himself.

With his spaceship parked in beautiful Stockholm, Sweden, Albion Venables is one of those artists who manages to deliver a refreshing collection of gems highly soaked in Disco Music and its subgenres either via high-quality edits or precious originals.

For his debut on the interesting Rewind It, Albion came up with a stunning space-dust-infused Cosmic Disco beauty brimming with deep synth leads and a melodic throbbing bassline. A combination that evokes memories of a young dinosaur browsing through the then-brand-new records of his older brothers still without realizing Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Moroder would become his future heroes.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://rewinditmusic.bandcamp.com/

In any case, now that these tracks have finally fledged the nest, I feel somewhat liberated and can move on from this fairly niche and specific sound. The gamelan instruments have been returned to Gamelan Naga Mas, from who we'd borrowed them, and the masks hung up. This does not mean that Graeme Miller and I won't work together again in the future...I'm sure we will...it just means we won't be tied to working within the constraints of gamelan, synths, percussion and dub that we became known for. So stay tuned...surely something lurks around the corner” GKM, November 2024

Last but most certainly not least, all profits from this release will be donated to Edinburgh Direct Aid with whom I have had a close relationship over the years. They do incredibly humbling and positive work around the globe...and most recently are fundraising for Lebanon where millions are now displaced into Syria and Iraq and homes being bombed to smithereens and thousands of innocent civilians being killed by the Israeli aggression. I feel, since I have no other artists to pay in connection to this release (I did the artwork too) I can donate 100% of the revenue to a worthy cause.

Antoine Pete - Breakfast among the clouds

exclusive | Kenny Blacksmith - Church | M.A.D Records

Kenny Blacksmith’s “Church” -  the B1 gem from the third and final vinyl in M.A.D Records’ 5 Years anniversary trilogy - feels like both a spiritual offering and a dancefloor confession. It’s a track that perfectly embodies the ethos of the label’s milestone celebration: forward-thinking, groove-led, and deeply rooted in the joy of movement.

Built around a foundation of floating pads and a warm, deep synth line, “Church” radiates that classic Deep House sentiment - emotional yet understated, meditative yet driving. The bassline crackles with a textured crunch, propelling the rhythm forward while giving the track its irresistible body. Then, like a subtle revelation, the organ chords enter - not in grand sermon fashion, but as an atmospheric nod to the divine. The occasional vocal drops serves less as a lyric and more as a mantra - grounding the track’s transcendence in something raw and physical.

Blacksmith manages to make “Church” feel sacred without ever being solemn. It’s dancefloor devotion, distilled into six minutes of groove and grace - the kind of track that could turn any smoky basement into a place of worship, where the sermon is rhythm and the congregation moves as one.

Dive into the rhythm of emotion. Deep, melodic, and hypnotic house tracks that touch the soul and move the body. Smooth beats, warm synths, and late-night feelings — this is Deep House Emotion by ISSAX.

Drowning in You

For the fourth and final installment of SCB remix EPs from Hotflush, Mor Elian and Hammer step up for their own interpretations of tracks from Caibu.
Fever AM label co-founder and hybrid club producer Mor Elian provides a spaced out take on ‘Fishbowl’ full of angular drums and woozy synths. For his take on ‘Test Tubes’, Hammer formulates a steady groover for the after hours. 
A new track from SCB, ‘Turquoise Shade’ is a melancholic dose of warm harmonies and stripped back drums, followed by the subdued wanderings of ‘Fish Bowl’, which previously appeared on this year’s ‘Engineered Morality’ EP.

DeWalta - Lyra (Meander 25) @dewalta
***180 gram double-vinyl album, quality full cover artwork. Releasedate: 25.01.2019.***
http://www.discogs.com/DeWalta-Lyra/release/12751171
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/dewalta-lyra/710330-01

Lyra is DeWaltas fourth large project and third full-length album following Wander in 2012 (on Haunt), llumination in 2014 (on Meander) and Dark Matter in 2017 (on Amphia).

The album consists of two individually available parts: a double LP (Lyra) with 6 tracks on Meander as well as a single LP (Lyra Pi) with 5 synth and ambient works. The Ambient-Part launches a new Meander Horizon Pi series-- a departure from Meander’s well known dancefloor releases.

Lyra is by far DeWaltas most extensive and refined project to date. With 11 exclusive songs, a total running time of over 100 minutes - plus a collaboration with long time friend and Meander co-owner Fabian Geimer-Lorusso aka. Jupiter - it marks a new beginning of ambient and score-like modern works as well as the continuation of his inspired intellectual-emotional approach to dance music.

Lyra is a star-constellation in the northern hemisphere which is highest in the midnight sky in the early summer months. It contains one of the brightest stars in the sky - Vega. Many of the songs on this album were produced in these warm and gentle months during an inspirational creative time in Portugal.

In Greek mythology, Lyra represents the Lyre of Orpheus, Apollo’s son. Made by Hermes from a tortoise-shell, it was given to Apollo who then passed it along to Orpheus. It is said to be the first music instrument ever made.
