Third Son | Retrograde

After a string of highly regarded Modern Balearic EPs over the last two years, Steve Miller aka Afterlife is back on his Subatomic imprint with his much anticipated ‘Baywatch EP’, looking forward to better and brighter days. True to the trademark mind-soothing touch we know him for, Miller lands a new, vividly hued quartet of sun-baked grooves, engineered to uplift and soothe both the body and soul. This couldn’t be more needed today.

 

Fresh coastal air blows across the opening track ‘Fly’, where we’re invited to take off to the sound of exotic string movements, as subtly arranged portamentos and prismatic synths entangle in one sensual dance. Bringing muscular weight to the bass range, title-cut ‘Baywatch’ ignites a dancefloor-friendly fire of playful acid synth and slow scudding pads. The result is efficient as it invites you to dive deep into Afterlife’s intricate sound design and lavish interplays on textures. Back to a quieter, more serene vibes ‘The Bridge’, is a sonic haiku with tapping drums, verbed-out Duduk solos and weightless chimes that pour out gently like water in a Zen garden.  ‘Lost Tribes’ wraps it up on an equally easy, yet more adventurous note with a ballet of jazzy solos, washed-out pads, chimes and subtle chords making their way to the surface from deep down in the most vivid of dreamscapes. It’s time for sunshine.

Roughion delve deep into their classical music memory with the release of Play Piano out on Hotwire (date TBD).  
 
Following on from their acidic releases of 2021 so far (Polarize - Mr Phormula Roughion Remix [Mr Phormula Records] and Living For Free - Shamoniks Roughion Remix [bandcamp exclusive]) this is their first original release of this year and takes deep dives into their musical history from Steffan’s classical background and Gwion’s DJing background. Play Piano subtly hints at Darude Sandstorm from the rolling baselines whilst simultaneously having an aura of mystery and class from the grand piano. Play Piano can be enjoyed at home or in a club environment as seen in Roughion’s DJ set for BBC Wales last summer. With more and more releases Roughion hone in on a signature sound and Play Piano plants itself right in the middle of what Roughion aim to achieve.

“Play Piano encapsulates everything Hotwire believes in. The sounds are fit for purpose in those intimate basements, the driving synths truly set the tone for the B side dance floor cuts” 
 
 
Bethan Elfyn, BBC Wales (DJ, Project Manager, Producer)    
“Producers, promoters, remixers, and live electronic outfit, Roughion, have always pushed boundaries with their music, always defying expectation, and exploring unusual collaborations, thoughts and styles, and this latest release is no exception – the seemingly contrasting elements of classical, techno, and creepy samples, create the effect of tapping into a lost time capsule floating in space, a snapshot of something that doesn’t make sense but is beautiful and elegant all the same. They’re a driving force for the electronic scene in Wales and I’m excited to see them collaborate with Hotwire Records from Sheffield. What a track to lead on this new direction!

Life had become nomadic; they travelled from place to place, finding shelter for a day or two before moving on to new climes. It wasn't the life they'd chosen for themselves, but they had no choice in the matter. This existence had been forced upon them by powers far much greater than their own; now their only mission was finding a safe space to inhabit.

Milanese label Nothing Is Real took a brief interlude from showcasing what Italy's fertile music scene has to offer with their 'Made In Mexico' compilation earlier this year, and now they return their attention to their stomping ground through the sounds of Gabriele Lori, aka Astroloop. Marking his debut solo outing, following collaborations on Freerange Records, the three original tracks touch on several sonic influences—from hypnotic house to mid-tempo grooves and driving synthwave—and are bolstered by a remix from Mexican producers Theus Mago and Moisees.

PREMIERE: Astroloop - Safer [Nothing Is Real]

The 3rd single from the Retrograde LP. Available 23rd April with the full album out in June 

Released via Polymath

Another solid release lands on the mighty Tronik Youth’s NEIN Records, peeps! Skilled London-based producer From Beyond is definitely one of Neil’s favourite artists: Considering solo flights, collaborations, and compilations, he has appeared more than fifteen times on the British label. Here and there, Mr Beyond flirts with other vital imprints, such as Paper, Golden Soul, and Boite Music, but Nein is definitely his home.

For “Acid Projections”, his forthcoming installment, he invited some friends to be in charge of the remix pack: Spanish JG Outsider, Turkish Fat&Bald, and British REES. The virtuoso trio delivered some powerful interpretations that dignify even more the alluring release.

Premiered here, the exotic version of “Acid Projections” made with love by Ortac Genc aka Fat&Bald, whose previous works can be found on important labels such as Ombra International, Belly Dance Services, and LATIDO. In his remix, the distorted pads, the sinister synth layer, and the wry FXs brought a darker and dirtier atmosphere to the original. We liked it!

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

Acid Projections

PREMIERE205 // From Beyond - Acid Projections (Fat&Bald Remix)

Following up to Rob Belleville’s inaugural delivery, Fluid Electronics returns in 2021 with a new collaborative EP courtesy of Dutch veteran Jarno, the man behind Trouw's infamous Below evenings, and Fluid Electronics’ co-founder and owner Shirazi, back in full swing after a ten-year break from production. The EP features remixes from Amsterdam’s Love Over Entropy and seminal Rotterdam-based duo, Duplex. 

The A-side finds Shirazi and Jarno dishing out a vaporous dub with the focus track, “Late Night Thoughts”. Engineering a mix of reverb-drenched atmospheric techno laced with hedonistic house accents and mystique-imbued melodies on a dreamy tip. Upping the tempo and overall vibe of the track, Love Over Entropy’s remix propels its listener in a blazing corridor of synth arpeggios and luminous chords.

The flip side sees Shirazi go solo on the ethereal “Continue Learning”, all in evocative spaciousness and textural finesse, as it merges the immersive depth of Basic Channel-esque envelopes with further straightforward floor dynamics. Clone-affiliated duo Duplex provides a tighter, jacking match to the original’s vaster headspace, tweaking it into a proper clinical club-ready weapon.

PREMIERE : Shirazi - Continue Learning (Duplex remix)

Previously during the first national lockdown Third Son wrote, mixed and mastered his debut album in 20 days. Watch a short Stamp The Wax documentary on the work here. Following on from this remarkable achievement, Joseph has been going back to his early music collections that informed and inspired his work over many years, making his own re-imagined interpretations of them to form a new body of work called Retrograde.
Released in June, the covers span a broad church, from electronic, to rock, to minimal piano and ambient. The LP will be accompanied by a short run of tapes, the medium mostly used by the artist in formative years. The album was produced from his home studio in London.
“Over the last year I’ve been listening to key music from artists I’ve always gone back to over the years. The songs and pieces that still grab me after 100 listens. I slowly made my own interpretations, which kept me occupied during the drudgery of lockdown. We all need a project. I ended up with something for all settings, the sitting on the floor in the lounge listen, the kitchen disco listen and even an optimistic club listen.” Third Son Over his short but intensely packed musical history Third Son has been meticulously honing his craft and sound and has received accolades and spins from a huge cross section of the industry to include Maya Jane Coles, Michael Mayer, Anja Schneider, Jackmaster, Jasper James, Kolsch, Dark Sky, Terr, Lena Willikens, Moscoman, DJ Boring, Sasha and many more. As well as this he has seen praise from household publications such as DJ Mag, Mixmag, Beatport, Future Music among others. Following releases on Dusky's 17 Steps and Matthew Herbert's Accidental Jnr, 2021 is a bumper year with the artist releasing on Shall Not Fade, Unknown To the Unknown sub label Soft Computing, Disco Halal and Permanent Vacation. This plethora of names is testament to Joseph's ability to continually stay ahead of the curve and keep the listener guessing.

THE DROP TOWER

Hey everyone,

i'm super excited to share my latest release with you. I've put together a unique Ableton Live project that's designed to spark your creativity and hopefully inspires you to create some wonderful music. Inside, you'll find three distinct themes that I've created and then seamlessly mixed into each other.

Everything was made by using only Ableton Live stock plugins and samples i’ve made, ensuring maximum compatibility and ease of use. What you hear in the demo track is actually the rendered project.

What you get:

- A project file that requires Ableton Live 12.2.1 standard or higher to run.
- 8 synth tracks within the project by using stock synthesizer
- 71 samples and loops rendered in 24bit 44,1 khz WAV format at 124bpm 
- 100% royalty-free

And of course, the samples are also usable without having Ableton Live at all (located in the project folder under Samples/Imported).
