Activist of the French underground techno scene for more than ten years and with releases on prestigious labels such as Mobilee, Correspondant or My Favorite Robot, Nhar is an artist who needs no introduction. 

We're very proud to release his new EP on our humble imprint. 

If Nhar spiritual roots are firmly anchored in a futuristic kind of techno informed by science fiction and new technology, his heart is definitely beating at a much more human pace; his music tinted by the torments and heartaches of human beings. 

Nostromo and Kartveli, the two originals pieces presented here, are futuristic and melodic, enveloped in synthetic pads and strings. They diffuse a warm analog sound and could easily soundtrack a journey on a spinner - those flying cars floating on the night skies of Blade Runner. 
Melodies and vocoders collide and swirl over vintage drums machines and discoid bass lines as you are dreamily watching landscapes of the future through your window. 

The remixes continue with the dreamy robots vibe of the originals while stepping up the energy. 

First, we find Canadian producer Fairmont who takes on Kartveli. 
Another artist who needs no introduction, Fairmont's work is not completely far off Nhar's productions, in the sense that both artists have a real love of melodies and dreamy electronic textures. 
His remix tones down the airiness of the original and adds a mean metallic snare, boosting the driving feel of the track and turning it into a peak time monster. 

Nostromo is revisited by Tunnel Signs who accentuates the techno side of the original with the addition of a disturbing siren and steady beat, it all gets very bleak and darker, especially with the introduction of lethal EBM bass line in the second half of the remix. 

To close the EP and send us to dream of electric sheeps, Franz Kirmann brings a futuristic twist to his ambient and reinvent Kartveli as a romance between a human and a Nexus 6 replicant.

Artist: Space Echo
Release Title: Journey
Label: Light My Fire
Catalogue No.: LMF032
Release: 23.01.2015

The Viennese producers Space Echo have been responsible for one of the biggest and brightest disco house tunes of the past years, 'Soul Power', released 2013 on Luv Shack. With 'Journey' we now welcome them on Light my Fire to kick the new year off in ample style. While 'Phobus Grunt' is a deep, cosmic affair, 'Buzz Lightyeah' nods to italo disco with amazing swing and bright melodic touches. 'Journey', on the other hand, centers around funky guitar licks and muted female vocal touches. Ken Hayakawa then gives 'Phobus Grunt' a UK funky twist, while Teenage Mutants delivers an earth shattering deep house rendition of 'Journey’. Happy New Year!

Partial PR: The 45th release on microCastle welcomes Navar & Mononoid to the label for the debut of their collaborative project. Dutch artist Navar returns to the Canadian imprint following his 'Moments In Life EP' from November of 2014. As one of the underground's most creative talents Navar has shaped a sound all his own, full of soulful qualities and organic design. Appearances on Guy J's Lost & Found Records coupled with a sparse release schedule has only made the love for his sound stronger. Meanwhile Mononoid, also hailing from the Netherlands are making their much anticipated label debut. First conceptualized in  2011, Andy Godderis and Igor Shumlyanskiy make up the Mononoid production duo. A string of releases on Traum got their career off to a great start and their modern take on techno has since been showcased by Einmusika, Lost & Found and Sisyphon. Much like Navar, Mononoid has been praised for their creative vision and the fusion of  these three intuitive minds was a project that had to be put into motion. Some winter months locked away in the studio has resulted in the much anticipated three track EP entitled 'Dreambox',  alongside a remix from YokoO of Musik Gewinnt Freunde and All Day I Dream.

The release concludes with the appropriately titled 'Versoene'. A piece which was born out of musical frustration but resulted in a deep and magical vibe. The first of the three completed and the beginning of a strange and wonderful friendship. In the words of Eelko, Andy and Igor "An enthralling light came upon us and we knew what to do! There are hopeful transmissions running through this one, but where are they from? Moments of brightness with 'Versoene' brought diversity in many ways, it led us to a place of harmonic embrace, a moment where time was lifted and we moved forward into the future. "



Navar & Mononoid - Versoene [microCastle] (Preview)

Part of the "Fall Particles 2016" compilation, East Café and his "False Visions" were an exciting contribution to a standout album. Fully represented with its own release alongside a trio of high-profile remixers, the original still enthrals with its emotive melodic phrasing, dynamic rhythmic interplay and first class production talent.

Latvian duo, Blood Groove and Kikis, have been at the vanguard of the underground dance scene for over seven years with their inimitable balance of progressive and trance. Regulars on the Spring Tube imprint, the pair have reigned supreme since early work saw them feature heavily, leading to almost a century of production credits for the Russian based label. Further work has found a home on Incepto, Pineapple Digital and Silk Music and it was for the latter that the best-selling "Wonderland" album went on to push Blood Groove and Kikis into mainstream consciousness with a compelling blend of original music. A quartet of remixes for Particles has served to remind listeners of the talent that flows from the pair's studio as we welcome them back to the label. Making intelligent use of the pitched percussive elements of the original, Blood Groove and Kikis' rework, takes "False Visions" on a tantalising, evolving journey that lilts deliciously before erupting at the mid-point with a dynamic running bass groove that cleverly reimagines East Café's work with a wealth of additional production material and striking new melodic sequence.

Fresh from his three-track, "Twisted" EP for Particles, Latvian producer, Ivar Tiliks, continues to gain admirers with his Subconscious Tales pseudonym. An artist whose mission statement centres around the use of adjectives such as 'melodic, hypnotising, charming and powerful', the Subconscious Tales story began, and has continued to grow, under the auspices of the Suffused Music imprint. Ably supplemented by a raft of production material for Balkan Connection, the Latvian's work is supported by such heavyweights as Hernan Cattaneo, Gai Barone and Barry Jamieson. Now following up his debut EP for Particles, the Suffused Tales voyage continues with a typically deft remix of "False Visions" that revels in cavernous bass groove and shuffling percussive cadence. Building effortlessly, intelligent use of East Café's parts sees hypnotic melodic repetition build to a rousing crescendo at the breakdown before rhythm and bass combine once more to startling effect in the third movement.

From the 17th century city of Tychy in Southern Poland, Jakub Helinski has continued to make waves of increasing amplitude through his Controlwerk soubriquet. Defining himself as "a risk taker and sound auteur", supported by Above and Beyond and Rank 1, the Controlwerk sound has found a home on such labels as Terminal Music, Soundwaves and Electronic Tree. Indeed, it is for the latter that a clutch of high-profile releases can be found, not least in January 2017's debut "Borderline" album, extending his sonic palette across the techno genre and illustrating an array of talents. Making his Particles debut, the Controlwerk remix of "False Visions" is full of the trademark subtlety and attention to detail that has become a staple feature of his work. Supported by a groove-laden rhythmic bed and cavernous bass line, a deliciously evocative melodic line spins a glassy web across the upper frequency range. Cleverly integrating components from East Café's original, Controlwerk's skill is in taking the track in an entirely different but no less enthralling direction.

"False Visions" courtesy of Blood Groove and Kikis, Subconscious Tales and Controlwerk have seen East Café's music take a bright and true path.

Following up 2018 well received debut EP, the second release on Swedish based label Dub Katalog comes from producer 07:08. Included in the EP are two original tracks as well as two remixes from the very close label friends Ebrahimi and Late Lake.

07:08 sets you up to leave the cold winter and to welcome the warmer and kinder days of the year. Opening track “Open Up” is immersed in deep bass, lush atmospheres and chords associated with the spirit of spring. 

Following up the original, Ebrahimi delivers his deep funky interpretation of Open Up. The remix takes you out across Stockholms intimate bars in the southern parts of the city with its thumping bass and relentless percussions.

Late Lakes remix is a deep dive through the ocean with its beautiful melodic pads and percussive elements. The perfect gentle track for building those early floors or closing down in the early morning.

Closing the EP out, Distant Shores takes you on a journey of endless shores far away. With it’s dreamy piano chords, the track leaves you with the feeling of warm days to come.

Maribou State - Scarlett Groove (Feat. Saint Saviour)

Rob Clouth is one of my favourite producers out there at the moment, if you've heard any of my sets recently then you will have heard his Vaetxh stuff in there, the glitchy super-detailed madness! So when he turned himself to making an EP for Traum I jumped on the opportunity to get involved with a remix.

His methods and style are very original, so it was quite a difficult remix to make, the track just didn't want to fit into a normal techno format! I ended up going for a really heavy shuffle on the drums and trying to make the track a little more dancefloor in it's arrangement, but I wanted to try and keep the approach of the original too so I introduced a lot of complexity into the drums, as Rob said, it's like a lattice of details. So here it is, I hope you like it, and if you're going to do one thing this year, then give the rest of the EP a good listen, in my opinion it's the best release of the year in this genre, properly amazing stuff from Rob Clouth.
