Rode Zayas - Little Helper 392-2

The next release on Celesta Recordings come from the label owner himself, AJ Christou has already had releases on the imprints Material Series, Wow Recordings or Underground Audio.

His “Venezuela EP” has a dreamy melodic Latin-American vocal combined with a percussive tech house rhythm takes you straight to South America. Finally the EP is rounded up by a remix by our Debut Transmission today from the Chilean DJ and producer Francisco Allendes who is now residing in Ibiza. His influences perfectly complete the record when he keeps up the rhythmical flair of the original and combines it with a powerful bass drum and catchy synth lines.

Yousef & Harry Romero - I'm Behind You (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)

Ramon Tapia returns to Toolroom after the huge success of ‘Yellow Submarine’ earlier this year that went on to become one of THE tunes of the BPM Festival in Mexico. ‘Move One’ is an all round darker affair and lends itself perfectly to those bigger techno floors. Tapia manages to fuse his trademark techno grooves with some old school trance influences that can be heard in that incredible break down once those meaty synths land!

One weapon that you need in your life, this will be huge!

Get Physical is thrilled to share another take on an old Roland Clark classic. From Roland himself:  'The song WTF derived from a piece I wrote entitled I Get Deep back in 1999. The entire piece is an observation of how the house music club scene had changed from my earlier years of being organic and pure to something disingenuous. The people were still packing the clubs but the dance moves went from a flowing big hommage to the track that was playing to a movement of the body just for the sake of the movement. The tune is primarily from a dancer’s perspective and frustrations. Hence the line, “THEY KNOW WHAT IS WHAT, BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IS WHAT, THEY JUST STRUT, WHAT DA FUCK’. For this release Santé has delivered his own take on the track. In his remix, he reduces the track to the basics, and adds a bit of electronic honey on top. Lush synths and driving percussion support the iconic vocal in a fresh way.

Moss Co. returns with rising Italian star Noha for a thoughtful 3 tracker remixed by label boss Archie Hamilton.

Loopo Di Mare on the A1 is a positively groovy affair. Rolling percussion and driving stabs modulate and talk to each other playfully, punctuated by big pad sweeps and mini breaks keeping the dance floor enthralled; the kind of track that could be deployed effectively at any time of night and have a different result each time.

Cat takes a more heads-down approach. Loose and lively percussion meets a concurrent synth,  sustaining pressure throughout the intro, hinting at deeper message which is finally delivered in the form of a powerfully emotive lead. Guaranteed eyes-closed, heads down.

Archie Hamilton toughens up the percussion in his interpretation of Cat on the flip side. Driving bass meets crisp highs, tight drums and a hypnotic, distant vocal. The lead is kept until the first break where it is used to great effect - kept close to the original, but with added warmth and distortion. A tried and tested dance-floor bomb.

BUTCH - COUNTACH (KÖLSCH REMIX) - COR12150

There’s a big reason to celebrate, as we face the 150th release on Cocoon Recordings! That’s right, 150 prime cuts with a number of milestones. It’s hard to single out any one for particular praise but even so, we still have something very special planned for the anniversary. With a certain affection, we wanted to present an artist from the region so it’s with great pleasure that we can unveil “Countach” from the one and only Butch, as a more than worthy anniversary release. The native Mainzer and sometime Berliner is without doubt one of the most dazzling German Tech-House artists of the moment. His performances contain a full dose of funkiness and his self-made promo videos never fail to entertain, providing a lot of fun in the process. First and foremost though, Butch is an exceptional producer, who, as one of the chosen few, knows how to mix together those special ingredients that drag us onto the dance floor again and again. What’s more, since we really have something to celebrate, we don’t just have an original from Butch, it’s accompanied by a remix from none other than Kölsch!

If the term "man of the moment" applies to any artist then it’s got to be Kölsch! At least that’s true when it comes to hypnotic techno with a subtle yet seductive touch of trance. Kölsch is currently operating on another level. Whatever he touches turns to gold, turns moments on the dance floor into unforgettable experiences to be written down in the annals of techno.
His Kompakt release "Cassiopeia", as well as his remixes including the Chemical Brothers, stand out as musical testimonies of the past two years. The series of musical landmarks from the house of Kölsch is endless and his remix of Butch’s "Countach" is no exception!

With poise and purpose like the Lamborghini of the same name, Kölsch takes us on an epic journey with his remix here, but as things progress he still has the foresight to jams on the brakes, keeping the dance floor honest by slowing things down to cruise control for the middle of his ride. What a trip, a true adventure, a techno road movie that could only come from Kölsch!
Of course, after a remix like that, there’s not much left to say but this is techno and our man Butch is anything but normal! He just knows instinctively how to bring things to the boil and demonstrates it very impressively again on his original version. Implementing a ‘nasty’ arpeggio line that captivates us before being hunted down by a prime-time filter, Butch summons up an acid monster that works without a 303 but is no less effective. If that’s not enough Butch also proves himself a master of ecstatic dance during the closing sections, serving up an emotional string arrangement that glimmers and shines. As a result, “Countach” with his nice fat strings becomes an instant dance floor catcher.

It’ll probably be very difficult to pick a favourite from these two mixes, which makes this cut even fatter! It’s a great release brimming with pathos and full-on emotions.

@fiedelone has a new double-vinyl compilation called 'Appendix: Double Mixpack' on the way via his Fieldtwo imprint.

Noncompliant (aka @djshiva)delivers a raw, metallic opener to the EP. Underpinned by hard-edged kicks and bolstered by scratchy vocal samples and intoxicating textures, it's a funky Midwest techno triumph.

Premiere: Noncompliant 'Women's Work'

Desolat label boss Loco Dice kicks off 2018 in fine style with a huge new single which sees the him reflecting on his musical roots and his connection to Dusseldorf, Detroit and beyond, whilst giving a taster for a brand new long player to come later in the year. 
Dice’s recent past has seen the master of robust house and techno funk serve up killer remixes of Moby’s classic ‘Go’ and release his Underground Sound Suicide album, whilst continuing to headline the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. At the same time, he has directed his endless passion and musical sensibilities to bare upon his Desolat label, with a stream of records released from some of the most exciting artists around and supported by DJs across the globe. Now though the stage is set for the first new Loco Dice original recording in some time and it is sure to see him once more at heart of the global scene. The bristling ‘Roots’ is a typically forceful track that blurs the lines between house end techno. It has twitchy synths bringing the energy to hurried drums as smooth chords add real soul. The claps are coarse & edgy, whilst Dice’s own dark vocals bring a brooding atmosphere and the whole thing is a synapse firing rave-up that cannot fail to detonate any dance floor. An instrumental is also included for even more visceral thrills. 
This new single is the lead track from Dice’s latest album project, entitled ‘Love Letters’ and to be released later in 2018.

The new Intec release is from Darren Emerson who many will instantly recognise as being an original member of iconic Underworld, and played a large role in the making of their anthems such as Born Slippy, Cowgirl and Rez.

Darren Emerson left Underworld at the peak of their popularity to focus on his career as a solo artist, and over the last three decades he has been one of the most influential people in electronic music.

As a solo producer Darren Emerson has collaborated with the likes of Sasha, Depeche Mode, Björk and The Chemical Brothers, and as a DJ travelled the globe to playing headline sets at many of the worlds top festivals and club events.

Having been on the front cover of many of the worlds longstanding music magazines, he has also compiled seminal mix CDs for brands like Global Underground, and fully deserved of his legendary status within the house and techno genres.

Track one Birdcage starts with a slow building acid line and metallic synth chimes that add texture and an eerie atmosphere before the euphoric lead synth is introduced in the main break, and the tracks takes a whole new direction. Full of nostalgia, this is certainly a game of two halves, and is an up-tempo techno journey full of unexpected twists and turns.

Jupe is second on the EP with muffled synth stabs layered under a stabbing lead combine with looped notation that creates a sense of urgency in the track. Building with intensity, dramatic snare rolls and fast flowing claps propel the rolling groove of this dancefloor focused techno titan, which is timeless in its sound design and full of impact.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.
