Tech N9ne - Dysfunctional Ft. Big Scoob, Krizz Kaliko (bass boost)

Nils Frahm is one of the best artists out there in my opinion, with pretty much the best live show I've ever seen. But aside from all that, this was just a really enjoyable remix to work on because the original is such a great piece of music, and seemingly so well suited to what I wanted to do with it - which was to try and turn Nils' instrumental jam on his Juno, into something house/techno/club/44 compatible, but still carrying the class and feeling of the original. It was one of those remixes that just seemed to fit and flow easily, with minimum strain and maximum enjoyment on my part - usually a good sign for a remix (the one's that have to be forced never seem to quite get there).

Big thanks to Billboard for featuring this remix, which is now available as part of my Balance 030 compilation:

BK018 V/A Bugs On Acid Vol.1 (previews)

When the Zenker Brothers launched Ilian Tape back in 2007, they likely had no idea that 10 years later it would stand as one of the world's most influential techno labels. To mark the occasion, they've assembled a new compilation, 'A Decade Ilian Tape,' which features contributions from across the label's roster, including artists like Skee Mask, Andrea and, of course, the Zenker Brothers themselves. Also appearing is Italian producer Stenny, whose brawny "P-Zone" debuted on RBMA Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

A Decade Ilian Tape

Stenny "P-Zone" [First Floor Premiere]

Today's premiere comes from one of our favourite producers - he played for us in London last December and released a track on our 7th compilation.

His latest release, Orbit, is a 6-track whirlwind of melodic braindance, electro funk and cosmic acid collected from Shinra's excursions to the outer reaches of the known universe. The title track premiered here is an emotional slice of electro with layers of synths swirling around a winding bassline.

Shinra's self-released 6-track 'Orbit EP' is to be released on the 25th March. You can pre-order here - https://jamesshinra.bandcamp.com/album/orbit.

ARTIST PROFILE:

@shinra

With appearances on Balkan Vinyl, Null+Void, InFiné, Analogical Force and Feel My Bicep over the last couple of years, London-based producer Shinra has gradually been gaining recognition for his eclectic, acidic electro jams. Highlights include 2015's "Fallen" (selected for a Boiler Room debut) and his 2016 remix of Sandboards' "Visa" which was picked as electro tune of the month in Mixmag.

PREMIERE: Shinra - Orbit

Nez Nov 18 Electro Mix

New version of my 2017 Orbit EP with new mixdowns and mastering.

I've adjusted the mixes, swapped out some drum samples, added a couple of synth lines, slowed Orbit down by 2bpm and made other very important changes.

Up next on Feel My Bicep, the lauded Irish duo Bicep bring experienced UK producer James Shinra to the forefront with a new slamming and cleverly constructed 12" 'Signs / Arc' - slated for release on July 26.

The EP comes paired with remixes from '90s techno veteran John Beltran and the intrepid 50Weapons and R&S affiliate Benjamin Damage. Ahead of the release, Mixmag has locked down the latter for a premiere. Using a sturdy and unwavering drum arrangement as the track's backbone, Benjamin Damage elevates his remix of 'Arc' through a memorable synth hook and a strong bassline that cunningly converse with one another throughout the tune.

LT063 // Shedbug - Timeframe EP

Thick white snow pelted down from above; the path in front of them was barely visible now the sun had set. It was a long walk back through the forest and the group had grown tired after fighting through the wind and the hail. Winter had arrived and it wasn't taking any prisoners. As they reached the depths of the forest they soon realised the snow had covered their tracks; their Hansel and Gretel breadcrumbs were no more. How would they find their way back to base? They would have to take a punt and follow their gut instead...

Following his euphoric debut release on Feel My Bicep, James Shinra brings his skilled productions to one of Scotland's best exporters of electro, Craigie Knowes. Over the last few years Mitch and Max, the guys behind the label, have released heavy hitters from some of the finest artists operating in that sphere, like Carl Finlow, Jensen Interceptor, Maelstrom and Textasy. James Shinra adds to that healthy discography with some acid driven cuts that have a "sinister, wintery feel"...

James Shinra's whirlwind year is rounded off with some final words via Craigie Knowes. Shinra's 'Darkroom EP' features his signature style of Techno and Electro across 4 varied cuts with a bit of a darker twist. Aphex-style chords, choppy breaks, emotional rises, gritty kicks and acid flowing throughout - it's got it all. A final chapter of a busy year for both artist and label, with a fairly sinister, wintery, feel.
