GRD004 - Solitary Dancer

Out 30th September 2016 on Vinyl & Digital - https://tinyurl.com/GRD004

For its fourth release, Harry Agius aka Midland's Graded label has signed its first new act in the form of Montreal-based Solitary Dancer. With ‘Desire & Apathy’ being instantly familiar to anyone who heard Midland's Essential Mix earlier this year— in which it subsequently proved to be a much asked about inclusion— this eponymously titled release marks the debut of Solitary Dancer, as well as Agius' second time stepping into the role of label A&R following Hubie Davidson's appearance on Graded's ‘Regraded' sub-label last year.

From the opening moments of the EP's title track it is apparent why Aguis welcomed this release to the label, with 'Desire & Apathy' highlighting Solitary Dancer's similarly shared talent for elegant, richly-sculpted sound design and a knack for propulsive club rhythms that eschew rigid 4x4 drum patterns. 'Desire & Apathy' takes a classic electro beat and through the use of elegaic pad washes and swells of sinister bass notes morphs it into persistently engaging shapes. 

The B-side's 'Paradise Found' is a suspenseful coralling of intriguing sonic elements, with its fractured beats combined with a cinematic sense of drama and melancholy that's brought to the fore on the beatless 'Rapture Version' which brings Solitary Dancer's first release to an impressive close.

Premiere: Theo Kottis '12 Months'

The first collaborative release between @RomanFluegel and @DanielAvery arrives on Live at Robert Johnson, under the guise of ‘Noun’. 

Initially recorded some years ago across just two days at Flügel’s former Frankfurt studio, both tracks represent a meeting point between the sensibilities of two of the best-loved producers in contemporary electronic music. Patient, even minimal psychedelia shares space with the driving club music that defines both Avery and Flügel’s individual DJ sets, as well as a number of occasional back-to-back performances, where the music of Noun has since been reliably reached-for and re-contextualised ever since.

Indeed, it speaks for the confidence and craft in this debut collaboration that Noun begins with ‘Meeting of the minds’, a textural delight that finds the Anglo-Germanic pair at their unremittingly trippiest. An analogue, unwavering transmission, as if pirated from Avery’s celebrated frequencies, is wrapped around minimal drum percussion, guaranteed to equally appeal to fans of the more experimental, reduced moments in Flügel’s back catalogue. Tense as the mood may seem, in these offbeat sonic corners, lay pockets of intrigue and moments of bliss.

On ‘Team Silent’, the impact is more immediate. As the seams between individual influences melt away, Flügel and Avery roll out something tougher and more direct; a blossoming, somewhat dystopian drive-by-night of softly soaring synths, ecstatic feedback and tough drums. Somehow both understated and anthemic, this is a true late night jam courtesy of two masters of club culture. Years later, and what a difference two days makes.

Co-founder of the label Paul Louth steps up for the first release under new alias Agile Kind, providing two brilliantly deep & punchy cuts that are just drenched in groove. 

Title track ‘Pyramid’ is a blissful, bouncy roller, rich with acid textures, tight percussion and wonderfully worked progressions. The track grows through emotive peaks and troughs, forever pushing the dancefloor toward a joyful state of euphoria.

The second track from Louth comes in the form of ‘Mime’, a track with a similarly crisp sound, precise and incredibly chunky. ‘Mime’ breathes at a slower, sleazier pace and works through warm yet haunting pads, luscious synth stabs lined with reverb and a relentless c hugging bassline.

Rounding off the EP are two remixes of ‘Pyramid’. First up is Ki rk Degiorgio aka As One, a British legend in the electronic music scene, who drenches the track in his signature sound of Detroit influenced Techno. Degiorgio introduces beautifully layered strings and pads, which build around a hefty kick and an acid-tinged bassline. The end result is a dreamy peak time beast you can totally lose yourself to.

Finally, we have a devilishly ballsy techno stomper from Oliver Moon himself, laden with raw percussive textures, driven by a thumping 909 kick and accompanied by a ruthless 303 line.

The imprint has been establishing a solid ground for the new Frankfurt sound since 2009. By featuring internationally acclaimed artists LARJ has been providing DJs and audiences with essential tunes in an extensive range of high-quality house music. Laid-back dance-floor awareness with a sense for particularity in sound is what might describe best most of the releases and artists.
