Amadeus sees it’s catalog graced yet again by New Zealand outfit Chaos In The CBD. The kiwi brothers, birthed Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales, are no new faces to the label, or the wide variety of genre-bending acronyms they encompass. Having recently relocated from tropical Auckland to damp London earlier this year, the two take their productions along with them in their latest efforts, 816 To Nunhead.

Title track and aside, “816 To Nunhead,” is tinged with what’s left of summer. A nostalgic tune built for the sun and soaked in funk. It’s a track reminiscent of early french disco, almost as if built for the two robots themselves. Guitar plucks and hi hats flow seamlessly throughout the tune, aided by a glorifying vocal, “I would like to think of my music as just an extension, an extension of me of today or whatever.” 

What emotion of freedom and escape evoked on the Aside can be contrasted on the flip, “78 To Stanley Bay,” a tune built behind the ever looming theme of loneliness. Accompanied by a live trumpet courtesy of Isaac Aesili, ’78 To Stanley Bay’ tells us a story, or rather a journey, built behind dirty hats and delayed keys. This is a track fashioned for everywhere but the club, and we absolutely love that.

FREE MUSIC MONDAY: UNKNWN - Tucker

It is with great honor that I am able to give this away.  A tribute to one of my heroes, Frankie Knuckles.

The relationship between Detroit and Chicago, for me, has always been about connection.  Any kind of rivalry is secluded and irrelevant, in my opinion.

Chicago is approximately a 6 hour drive from Detroit, so, growing up we would frequent parties, back and forth.  On any weekend in Detroit, we could meet people from Chicago who wanted to experience our small scene in Detroit.

Whereas Detroit had a much more distant, cold feeling while still trying to retain human elements, Chicago house music always appealed to me because it seemed like the softer, soulful version of Techno.  I was drawn to the organ chords and the jacking indigenous rhythms of 808s.  Growing up with Detroit radio, we were exposed to funk music and a lot of R&B.  Some of the first records I bought were Change “Change of Heart” and Frankie Knuckles presents Jamie Principle “Your Love”, both artworks and music having very geometric, mechanical feeling, yet airbrushed and fun vibes.

Frankie Knuckles was the most pivotal figure in this movement, for me.  The first time I had heard “Baby Wants To Ride”, it really moved me.  The way the dot matrix synths moved in seemingly Euclidian patterns, the bounce and slight swing of that bass line, and the way the dissonant chords tied it all together.  One listen and you can see where I drew all my inspiration from when making my tune from 2006, “Hot, Raw, Sex”.  Let’s just say that record would have been a lot different without Frankie K.

“Tears”, “Rain Falls”, and “Your Love” among some of the best tracks I found on vinyl in Chicago.  A few of them so popular you could find them at Salvation Army.

What else can I say about Frankie that hasn’t been said this week?  With this track, we celebrate his life, his kindness, his love for music, his inspiration, his passion and all that he gave during his life.  

Thank you Frankie,

Jimmy Edgar

Maelstrom's next release via Zone is set to drop soon and we have the premiere of the lead cut.

'Adversarial Design' isn't a track that you'd show your mum unless she's into violent, stabbing and demonic techno music.

Once again the track shows off Maelstrom's fine production skills and promotes a sound so dark that it's only suitable for the bleakest of raves. 

Premiere: Maelstrom 'Adversarial Design'

February may be the month of love but Louisahhh!!! and Maelstrom have once again delivered the darkness-drenched goods. We've got a premiere from their forthcoming 'Friction' EP on Bromance, which is due for release on February 23, and the mammoth five-tracker is possibly their best yet.

The title track is a pounding yet seductive track, one that drives from the off with glitchy energy. Drops roll into each other and the whole feel of the track is devilishly tough. Check it out below

In Dust We Trust with Chaos In The CBD - Sep 2016

DC - show u sum tricks

This is the original loop, solely written entirely by myself back in October 2007.

Sequence of events:

1. I wrote this loop back in October 2007, entirely by myself, posting it on myspace.
2. Zomby, with whom I was communicating, hears the loop and offers to collaborate to finish it. I agree and send him the original Reason song file + Rex file of the vocals.
3. Zomby posts the loop on his myspace without crediting me, I complain, he takes it down.
4. In the next months Zomby suggests where the track might get released. I continue to remind him that it's a collaboration.
5. Without my knowledge, a slightly revised version is aired by Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1, you can hear Zomby's revised drum variation from 1:06 -- 1:36.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDLXRtbeLg0 This is the only significant change he's made to the track. The rest is looping, and some slight editing of the vocal cuts.
6. The track gets released on 4AD in May 2011, I notice in August 2011. I complain first to Zomby with no effect, then to 4AD, to whom I send this loop plus an e-mail sent from me to Zomby with the original Reason song file from October 2007. 4AD accept my evidence and change credits to include my name.

Zomby has been vague in interviews when asked about the vocal sample. The singer is Natalia Ladygina (hence the name of the track), a Russian friend of mine. She is singing a cover of Irina Dubcova's song 'O nem'. I have other samples of her, so you can expect to hear more of her in the future.

Thanks to all those who have supported me in this dispute, and all those who were just curious and asked.
