Leeds-based producer Krotone, takes the listener on a journey through the past, present and future of underground dance music, as he pays homage to his home city with Stranger, a 5-track EP on Of Paradise that traverses the outer limits of UK club music.

EP opener Just Can’t, is a stripped-back house track, powered by a raw and bouncy kick, flavoured with infectious vocals, whispering hi-hats and warm dub textures. Following this is title track Stranger, an intoxicating dose of swaggering club music that sits somewhere between off-kilter house and future-focused garage. Rolling kicks and wonky percussion are interwoven with sharp stabs and a vocal hook dripping with attitude.

Kicking off the B-side is Have You, an alluring and euphoric slice of early 90s rave nostalgia updated for 2021. Swirling pads, trademark drum work and another perfectly engineered vocal hook, all work together to capture the magic found in the heart of the dance floor. Progress pushes things into more tribal territory, with its raw, tight percussion, pulsating bassline and smokey pad work, that, when brought together, offer a moment of clarity in an uncertain world.



Rounding off the release is Resolute, a dubbed-out, spacey affair that employs bouncy kicks, rolling percussion and crystalline pads to maximum effect. A richly textured and blissful sign-off to an EP that further cements Krotone’s status as one-to-watch.

Precision engineered for RS Turbo systems and word-of-mouth basement raves, Stranger is a crowd-moving, yet intimate journey through the heart of the laser tunnel.

PREMIERE:  Krotone - Have You

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/arnaudisdancing
Track: Unexpected Deception
Label: https://soundcloud.com/foreignfrequenciesbne
Format: Digital, VA
Release date: 14/5/21
Purchase: https://foreignfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/ff001-troubleshoot-the-moon

FF001: Troubleshoot The Moon marks the debut release on Meanjin (Brisbane) based 'Foreign Frequencies', a label dedicated to highlighting versatile sounds from artists both close to home and afar.
The first release compiles a broad range of styles from within Australia and abroad. Bristol based Litherland opens up with a lush but equally hard hitting jungle mover, contrasting naturally between calming synths and heavy electro infused breaks. Boorloo (Perth) local sn33ze provides us with another breaky number, this time creating a more dreamy atmosphere with some masterfully chopped up vocals throughout its runtime. The VA takes a danceable turn on the third track courtesy of Leeds based Phasmid, with some UK inspired electro sure to get bodies moving once dance-floors fully open again.
Closing out the EP with two expertly crafted electro tunes is Arnaud Is Dancing from Nantes. "Unexpected Deception" encapsulates us with its catchy melody before upping the ante with a very melodic acid line. "Singing Birbies" is the hard hitting yet melancholic closer to the release, returning once again to the lush sounds that saw the VA open.
All profits from this release will be donated to Brisbane Youth Service, a local nonprofit organization supporting homeless and disadvantaged young people 12-25 years of age.

PREMIERE | Arnaud Is Dancing - Unexpected Deception [Foreign Frequencies] 2021

Originally from West Wales now residing in Amsterdam in a studio nestled beside the river Ij, Maroki now joins the ROOS family following a string of stellar releases. He leaves nothing to chance, using his classically trained skills and expertly engineered sounds into a pool of influences that range from breaks, moon-lit acid and heads-down chuggy goodness. 

The record launches with title track ‘Emerald City’ a moody cut that whisks you away from the city's bustling streets and off the beaten track. Maroki’s fixed hand helps elements blend seamlessly into another, in what feels like a personal guide through the emerald’s subterranean. Then comes the gentle and tranquil electronics of ‘Alfred Stole My Brain’ both welcoming and meditative, while the swing in drums provide dance-floor functionality and set the pace. The A side comes to a grand close with ‘Talk2Me’ a brooding acid cut that mixes in elements of breaks and aquatic synths. The track's swelling energy feeds from the A side's previous two, culminating in a build up of emotion and speed. 

‘Total Recall’ raises its hypnotic head, a series of winding synths and 4/4 kick drums creating a maze of sound, before perhaps the record's hidden gem ‘All Be Over’ arrives like an old friend. The track’s familiar sound design coupled with Maroki’s distinct personality create a warm and lasting friendship; melting together old and new perspectives. ‘Slower’ rounds off the EP, an equally stunning and fiery mix of breaks and angelic electronics.

STEP OFF

D.Tiffany's Planet Euphorique has become somewhat a gravitational pull for the sonispheres hotbed of talent for the last few years, drumming up a tangible level of anticipation around each release. This time round it's Unknown Mobile, who has come fresh off the back of his well received yet uncharacteristically downtempo and left-field album on Pacific Rhythm. Perhaps unexpectedly, he dives back into darker and more club focused territories with appropriately named 'Mobile Sorcery', a murky, spellbinding five tracker and perhaps his most face-melting release to date. After announcing on Twitter that this would be his last release for a little while due to educational commitments, this is one to hold close.

Introducing the flip is "Heavenly Depression" which flaunts unconventional rhythmic themes whilst highlighting the power of melody. This cut is one which accurately depicts it’s title, pulling on the struggle of your emotions through an ever-progressing lead woven tightly over sweeping pads.

PREMIERE: Unknown Mobile - Heavenly Depression [Planet Euphorique]

Maybe no surprise from an artist who cites among his inspirations “the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest,” Flora FM’s productions spill over with colour and vibrance. Recognisably part of an emerging tradition that seems to be North America’s answer to UK breaks culture, Flora FM’s latest release on Exotic Robotics continues the label’s run of playful, melody-rich dance music while folding in extra punch on tracks like Bronze Teeth and Magic Pebbles.

We feature, Softest Moon which rounds off the record in style. It's probably the most traditionally 'club ready' in structure of the bunch - kicking things off with a solid yet familiar bottom end, top end loop combo. The flicks and extra terrestrial nuances are something you'll be a custom to if au fait with Flora's otherworldly production style; but when this is met with the surging synth line - the melody's combine, creating a certified sonic treat.

PREMIERE: Bobo - Hope [Gestalt]

This is a tale of two firsts, our first release on Tight Chest and also Will Penn’s debut. We found ‘Stijl’ mutating in a vortex somewhere between a rave flyer and an EMU-6400 ULTRA. The tune blends elements of old school Jungle, breaks and techno. This track offers a
chance to get a little introspective in places with eerie dialog and moody pads, while also being somewhat wily and relentless. ‘Try Not To Worry (Nothing Is Easy)’ is a B-side oozing lush textures and exuberant lead lines, glued together by tight breaks and warm subs. This track is an ode to better times. There are rumours it was formed on the Express ‘93 service from Kyoto to London.
The ‘Stijl ‘Night Night Mix’ is a rework that has been flipped and slowed right down with a steady groove and ghostly textures. Combined with this are vocals that sound like a diary entry being
spoken over the tannoy of a passenger plane flying over the dystopian swamplands. All the tracks were written and recorded in 2019 and are some of the first produced by Will Penn. We wanted to capture the rawness before he loses his beginner's edge and sells his soul to the internet in exchange for the next ‘level up’ in the production game. Hold On, Tight Chest !
