After his critically acclaimed album for 3024 Leon Vynehall makes his debut on the Clone Royal Oak Series. The already much anticipated track 'Butterflies' graces the a-side. A beautifully crafted piano laden house track. On the flip the equally wonderful 'This is the Place'. Subtile but heavy percussion laced with fragments of samples.

Leon Vynehall - Butterflies / This Is The Place - Clone Royal Oak 023

Traumprinz - 2Bad (DJ Metatron 'What If Madness Is The Only Relief' Rework)

Blip Discs' very own O'Flynn first dropped onto our radar with last year's Tyrion / Desmond's Empire, which received numerous accolades from many electronic music pros. James Blake and Pearson Sound are included, and Four Tet is quoted to have even said that he "literally could not put that record down. It's going off everywhere I play it."

News of O'Flynn's second EP brings an excitement so palpable, we at HQ are jumping at the opportunity to back it. The Oberyn / Spyglass EP embodies that same O'Flynn spirit of laidback dance music we got well acquainted with the first time around. A sound so in vogue, we even dedicated a podcast to it last year. After James Blake dropped the A-side on his BBC Radio One residency, we were keen to get our mitts on the other track. Lo and behold – we present "Spyglass"! An insatiable groove of (surprisingly un-cheesy) sax and purple-tinged synth patterns, mellower in nature when compared to its bouncy exotic "Oberyn" counterpart. Another successful yield from one of dance music's most prosperous newcomers.
Oberyn / Spyglass drops on 18th March (digi + vinyl).

18+ Drama (Babyfather Meditation Mix VIP) - clip

'Hiccup' is a dainty and soft house cut that showcases luscious pads, trickling percussion and a groove that's going to cure any NYE hangovers. Reminiscent of Lobster Theremin's Route 8 but also telling that Theremin will be doing the vinyl distribution for Valby Rotary this year.

We've got high hopes for Valby in 2017 and you should do to. What better way to delve back into music this year than with an outfit starting a musical journey of their own. Happy new year.

Premiere: Louf 'Hiccup'

Johannes Albert dropping four brand new house cuts. A side with smooth disco house fantasies, imagine just a slightly cheaper version of a Soundstream record. “Town” on the flip side comes more like well , think of Tiga releasing on Playhouse anno 2004 and you get there. Maybe not. Oh yes Jay ain’t no singer but hey… dj bonus tool attached to make up for it. Out 15/01/2017

It’s a match made in heaven, techno veteran Dino Sabatini meets up and coming talent Luigi Tozzi, who over the last couple of years has delivered stellar EPs for the likes of Hypnus Records, Dynamic Reflection, Mental Modern, and Sabatini’s own Outis Mu- sic. Anyone familiar with the two will know they share an aptitude for adventurous and evolving techno. This is crystallised in this collaboration, which doesn’t take the easy path of creating straightforward club tracks. Instead, the three tracks on this release explore the subtler sides of the two producers. That’s not to say this isn’t club music – it is – but they have a lot more to offer than pure functionality.
The EP opens with Manticora. This eight-minute experience takes the listener through winding claustrophobia as ringing feedback pulses across the stereo field and caver- nous rhythms dance about, hard to quite grab. These rhythms build to a point to which they solidify and fall into place, a point at which the track gains a feeling of propulsion, alongside shifting and emotive reverberations and resonances.
Next up is Celeno, a track that slowly unravels under a backing of shuffling hats and a rolling kick drum. Twinkling synths swirl around before giving way to a rhythmic and compelling melody. Celeno’s musical themes continue into the third and final track, Aello, which eases you in with softer drums while a haunting drone builds up. Over this, ghostly arpeggios develop alongside weightier drums that carry the track through until the end, leaving just enough time for the drone to ring out and provide a fitting end to the EP.

Manticora

Celeno

Poetry, speech, melody and electronics combine on this limited tape from new sub-label ‘Purely Physical Teeny Tapes’.

A change of pace for PP, ‘Figures’ is also a divergence for the two artists involved. Emerging from Melbourne, 'Figures' is a rare artefact for devotees of both poetry and electronic music. The release marks a protean coming together by two figures with curiosity for each other's practice, forming a union between sound and speech to explore themes of bodies, time, language and power.

Lucy Van, who works as a post-doctoral researcher in English and Theatre studies, offers her poems in spoken form and also transcribed in full for the poster in the release.

Laila Sakini, a DJ who has recently emerged as a songwriter-producer, shapes music around each poem intuitively, adding context with restraint, in an experimental, yet pop-conscious process.

Initially developed as a one track hobby project for a noise and spoken word poetry night (which was cancelled), 'Figures' continued to evolve into a more complete body of work, with Laila leaking the demos on her NTS guest slots, leading to this eventual, finalisation of an EP.

The release is presented on a pro-dubbed all clear tape, packaged with an A2 double sided fold-out newsprint poster, all housed within a PVC heat sealed pouch.

Out June 2nd, 2017.

Mastered by Rashad Becker.

Edition of 100.

Laila and Lucy:

Lucy writes about poetry and photography. She is a post-doctoral researcher in the English and Theatre Studies program at the University of Melbourne, and an editor at Cordite Poetry Review. Lucy also writes lyric and prose poems, and has spoken at venues including The Slow Canoe, Station Gallery, and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Laila's role as a DJ and emerging producer/songwriter has seen her traverse between her home town of Melbourne and London. She has performed across clubs and festivals in  Melbourne and in various venues throughout London, Paris and Belgium along with art spaces including The National Gallery of Victoria, Carriageworks and The Australian Centre for the Moving Image. She presents semi-regularly on NTS Radio, has appeared on Boiler Room and has opened for the likes of Dopplereffekt and Optimo. Laila has recently begun producing, writing and performing live solo and collaborative works.
