Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Perdu aka Alain van der Born returns to Live At Robert Johnson for his second release: On his Illusion Of Choice EP, Perdu drives his sound one notch harder, yet retains his trademark 1980s tinged vibe. Perdu has already secured releases on DGTL Records, Heist and Let’s Play House amongst others, and surely is a keen producer to keep your eyes and ears on.

Studiodue Future - Mixed by Lorenzo LSP

Italian artists I-Robots and Lorenzo LSP have put together two new mixes inspired by the legendary Turin club Studiodue, at which they were residents back in the 80s. The mixes feature an array of timeless deeptechno and eclectic electronic sounds from I-Robots' Opilec Music label, as well as one of his new and exclusive remixes.  Gianluca Pandullo, aka I-Robots, was a resident at the club - formerly a vintage cinema - from the late 80s until 1993 when it closed forever. At that time, Lorenzo LSP was also a DJ and one of the key party promoters. The club first opened in 1979 and soon became internationally renowned for its club nights, live concerts and events. It had a proudly eclectic sound that took in everything from disco, new wave, rare groove, acid, new beat and house to rock, hip hop, acid jazz, reggae, ska and dub.

The club was a foundational space for many in the city, championing black music and providing a safe space for people from the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, Studiodue became home to many vital promotions such as Lorenzo LSP (Latin Superb Posse)’s PopPlanet, House Train, Double Face and the I-Robots’ Sound Of Blackness Thursday. Over the years, many international stars visited, such as Ice-T, Todd Terry, Paul Weller, Frankie Knuckles,DJ Cash Money, Norman Jay, Pete Heller & Terry Farley, David Morales, Desmond Dekker and many more.

Studiodue helped shape several artists, including Lorenzo LSP and I-Robots, which is why the latter conceived this project and his Opilec Music label to mix up past and present influences and take them into the “Future”. 

The mix from Lorenzo LSP is also dancefloor facing, with Italo melodies lighting up the sleek techno and retro electro. There are peak time passages with chunky drum funk and moments of richly soulful techno, all masterfully mixed and sequenced. Tunes from François K, Schaltkreis Wassermann, No More, Gene Hunt, James Kumo and I-Robots make this a serious selection.

These two mixes are a perfect homage to one of Italy's most vital but sorely missed clubs.

Counterterraism Guest Mix 204: Lorenzo LSP

When it comes to high-quality Brazilian Deep House, Curitiba-based Henrique Oliveira aka HNQO is definitely amid the most influential producers of his generation. With solid originals and remixes released on local and international vital imprints of the genre such as Warung, Get Physical Music, Defected, Hot Creations, Off Spin, NastyFunk, Clepsydra, and his very own Playperview, HNQO is now back to the still small but rising German label Hazy Days with the single “Until I’m Done”. 

Something extremely interesting about HD, by the way, is that the platform just releases singles: one artist, one track. A forgotten format nowadays, but still greatly valuable inasmuch as the team can focus exclusively on the promotion of a sole tune. Smart, in our humble opinion.

Right now, 100% of their attention is on HNQO’s “Until I’m Done”, a cosmic-infused cut with a groovy breakbeat, a fat bassline, lush pads, a nervous synth layer, and a notable acid lead. Elements that, together, result in a melodic and upbeat theme devoted to creating a laidback, yet energizing atmosphere. A must-have for the Deep House lovers out there – in our humble opinion.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/hazy-days/63702

PREMIERE307 // HNQO - Until I'm Done

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/katnada
Track: Speira
Label: https://soundcloud.com/This-is-not
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 18/05/22

Darkness and light. Stagnation and evolution. A complex duality which accompanies usthroughout our existence.
"Dark Night" represents stagnation, anger and destruction. A dark acid bass slowly evolves and creates tension. Apocalyptic pads remind of fear and hopelessness.
"Speira" (Spiral in ancient Greek) symbolizes the continuous motion and evolutionary journey into this existence. Various melodic patterns melt together and create a sense of hope, the piano allows for a moment of reflection which then evolves again into a dynamic acid synth, keeping the evolution ongoing.
The EP is composed also by two sophisticated remix, Outis and the well known Nakadia have reinterpreted the original tracks, offering ambient and electronic break sonorities with fresh dancefloor killing vibes.

PREMIERE : Sleight Of Hands - Bass Rock

When porcelain hits the floor it is seen as a promise for a brighter time. A time in that we calm down and reconnect to a higher grace in order to find contentment in the imperfections and impermanence of our human experience.

Kinsuby reassembles fragments of legendary music from Kraut to Disco. Just like Japanese artists recompose wonky pottery with gold. This can also be seen as a metaphor for life. Our fractures are the actual gold veins and a portal to growth, creativity, knowledge and bliss.

The 14th release is the Album „Living from your (he)art“. In this Album Kinsuby puts the main messages of the same-named book into music. "The Three Principles" is the 6st song on the Album and symbolizes the principles of though, consciousness and mind.

The book is written for artistic souls, who want to base their life on their craft. To provide added value in the long term, they first must be balanced themselves. The book is a guide for finding inner peace, which will support them to become mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually balanced. Only then can they create the impossible in collaboration with other people.

PREMIERE : Kinsuby - The Three Principles

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/treets

The long-running Kompakt imprint will release an EP by German DJ and producer Sascha Funke in September. Sharing five tracks that traverse quirky house and techno, Treets marks Funke’s monumental return to Kompakt since his Zug um Zug two-tracker in 2014.

Speaking about Treets, Funke says he is "very happy to be back on the mothership Kompakt" after an eight-year break. As one would expect with Funke, the EP fits the cosmic world of Kompakt to a tee. The title track conveys a weird, tripped-out atmosphere as an alien-like vocal burbles between an acid bassline and squeaky percussion. It's a tantalising glimpse of Funke's freaky underworld. E_Plus follows a similar wonked-out vein, only this time, the vibe is ominous. Funke pairs an orchestral vocal with bleepy pads and signature acid-drenched melody — a solid offering oddball of energy. On Alles Paletti, a 2-step drum pattern and string of bright claps create a sunny soundscape, complemented by a robust bassline and ethereal synth notes. It's fairytale house music, the kind only Funke can produce. The penultimate track Haus More is subdued, as chugging drums slither between a wobbly melody. The Other Version feels futuristic, as Funke goes full-force electro. Extra-terrestrial vocals return, but the pace is cranked up by strident sound FX and thudding drums. An eccentric end to an eccentric EP.

Sascha Funke is a Berlin-based producer and DJ with two decades' worth of releases building his back catalogue. BPitch Control, Turbo Recordings, Endless Flight, Running Back, and several more esteemed imprints have released his work. Today, he continues to create sleek sounds that weave various genres from house, techno, disco, Krautrock, wave, electro and unclassified anomalies. As a DJ, Funke is just as free-wheeling as his productions. He's played E1 in London, Caos in São Paulo and Renate in Berlin, amongst others, displaying his sweeping sound to a worldwide audience. Having been exposed to euro-dance pop as a youngster, you can hear flashes from the genre stitched throughout his work but blended in a way that's quintessential to Funke. Never one to change his sound according to the latest trend, Funke stays true to his creative vision — one of the most significant challenges for producers today.
