REGROWTH

Ethnic Dub

The rocket ships were loaded, the heat was on and the race was all set to begin. They were sat in the cockpit of the sfire space station, it floated observationally above the race course. Waiting to film every detail, the streams were set and the countdown had begun. This was a great test for mankind, a special test. As they watched from the sfire they glazed down upon the planets below, how could they stay afloat with such little care as to what lay in the skies above them.

Here is the Kris Baha remix of Sfire: this one is set for release on Emotional Especial and Cocktail D'Amore.

Shining crown jewels in Tel Aviv's underground scene, Red Axes' artistic endeavours have slowly but surely been revitalising Israeli music culture. Their output's calibre sets the bar inexorably high — epitomised by the stripped-back disco bomb “Waiting for a Surprise” which stirred up a ruckus this exact time last year. So much so that techno don Audion was compelled to lay his grace on the dub. Spurred on by a bouncy bass line, swirling electronics and agile percussive workouts darting all over the joint, Audion’s production lab mastery is heard crystal clear throughout.

Forthcoming on Waiting For A Remix (which includes reworks by Moscoman, Manfredas and Thomas Von Party) this bag of goodies drops through @multiculti digitally on October 3rd, followed up by wax on October 27th.

Pre-Order

Red Axes "Waiting For A Surprise" (Audion's Magic Carpet Remix)

The jewel in the crown of Israel’s underground music scene, Red Axes have produced a steady stream of hits on labels like Permanent Vacation, I’m A Cliché, Crosstown Rebels, and on our all-inclusive culti label where they dropped what became, somewhat surprisingly, their biggest hit to date with Waiting For a Surprise. The dark, stripped down disco bomb had one of the most memorable hooks of the year in singer Abrão’s staccato chorus, a late night voodoo incantation that was always begging to be remixed. 

We asked fellow Tel Avivian Moscoman to direct his hot hands to the guitar, mellowing things slightly, stretching out the hooks and adding layers of ambulant percussion to his signature middle eastern flair. The man you love to hate to love breaks his bread and shares it with us all.  

OUT Digitally 3.10.16 and Vinyl 17.10.16 alongside the Manfredas, Audion and Von Party mixes.

Red Axes - Waiting For A Surprise (Moscoman Remix)

What are you waiting for? Go on, jump in. The water is warm and a liquid paradise awaits. The poolside was a place of elegant sophistication, ladies watched hazily from loungers as gentlemen swam beaneath the lush blue ripples. Over by the bar the music could be heard pouring from small monitors, it echoed blissfully through the open air and travelled beyond the walls of the palace. All is well for what lies within but over the wall, a perilous plague had began to unfold. They remained happily ignorant inside the palace whilst the world fell to turmoil. 

Red Axes have developed a notoriety unlike few others. In recent years they have powered through the ranks releasing music on the likes of Permanent Vacation, Crosstown Rebels and more. They have amassed quite the reputation. Now they are joined by friends from far and wide on a remix EP for Thomas Von Party's Multi Culti label. He collaborates with them and creates an alternate version of 'Waiting For A Surprise'.

PREMIERE: Red Axes - Waiting For A Surprise (Von Party vs Red Axes Remix) [Multi Culti]

Finally.....
Lithuanian bandit and current Multi Culti tour poster boy Manfredas (who delayed the package by 3 months + some) weighs in with an incredibly dope, hook-filled revision. Worth the wait for his weight in cult gold.  
This is the final remix on the package due to hit the digital shelves in a couple of weeks, followed by the vinyl which is making its way through the presses at the factory as we type this message.

Beyond The Wizards Sleeve have announced details of the release of 'Black Crow', the latest single to be taken from their recently released, much acclaimed debut album 'The Soft Bounce'.
 
Released on Phantasy October 7th, 'Black Crow' is the third single to be taken from the album. Part American Gothic, part future movie soundtrack, it’s a song of haunting beauty. Holly Miranda's vocal glides across reflective strings and delicate crystalline snippets of sound, resulting in an epic torch song lament. It’s backed with White Crow, Erol Alkan's mighty extended reworking of the song, placing it in spacious widescreen, where you can hear for miles.

Recent praise for The Soft Bounce:
 
'Album Of The Week' The Guardian ★★★★
'Alkan and Norris really do possess the magic touch' – Q ★★★★
“A brilliant debut which fizzes with inventiveness” - The Line Of Best Fit ★★★★★★★★
'A brilliant distillation of everything BTWS stand for: A trip in every sense' – Loud & Quiet ★★★★★★★★
'It’s been well worth the wait' – Mixmag ★★★★★★★★
'The Soft Bounce is a joy from start to finish' – Shindig ★★★★★
"A buffet of musical influences and styles” - The Digital Fix ★★★★★★★★
'The whole thing really is a treat' – 'Album Of The Month' Electronic Sounds
"A breathtaking gift of creativity and a musical treat of many colours and flavours” - Renowned For Sound ★★★★★

The Rattler Proxy - Follow (Khidja Remix) - LURID07

MP3THREES. 7

MIJO - ´Merica

Neither icy cold or even related, Nathan & Timothy Eskimo have been producing and remixing since 2009 across labels including Clouded Vision, Days Of Being Wild and Throne Of Blood. Next up is their debut appearance on Beachcoma (the label owned by Fairmont, Metope and Sid Le Rock). This disco-infused cut is fully of sprightly hi-toms, scintillating hats and claps, with a pitched down titular vox sample. Then the breakdown gets it's wonk on and well, breaks down actually. Lovely messy chrimbo party starter, with something naughty thrown in the punch.

The Fridge Click EP

PREMIERE: Eskimo Twins - The Fridge Click [Beachcoma]

Having made his debut on Throne of Blood as a contributor to Moon Rock Volume 4, Cass. returns to the label with a blissed out 12” that builds upon the low-slung atmospheres of his recent output on Emotional Response and International Feel (in collaboration with Jan Schulte) to create a heady and modern sound influenced by both Balearic and 80’s pop sonics without every losing sight of the dance.
The a-side “Red Atlantic” pairs a steady 4/4 kick with circular melodies, dreamy pads, and melancholic vocals before Cass. injects a post-punk bassline to beautiful effect.
Autarkic (Disco Halal, Golf Channel) emphasizes the disco punk elements, twisting “Red Atlantic” into a dancefloor bomb with a looping take on the bassline, an insistent horn motif and a much more off-kilter atmosphere.
On the flip, “The Voynich Manuscript” feels much closer to the best moments on Youth Sessions, Cass.’s brilliant full length on Emotional Response, slowing the tempo and pairing another pulsing live bassline with a narcotic melodic line built from woozy, pitch-shifted tones. It’s both glisteningly pretty and tripped-out.
Longtime friend and label contributor Cosmo Vitelli drags “The Voynich Manuscript” back into dancefloor territory, upping the tempo and toughening the lushness of the original into an insistent late night chugger that’s been doing the business on dancefloors for a couple months now.

Mister Bassmaker

French label Hard Fist returns with a solid various artists release entitled ‘Princes Of Azbu’. The release features five Middle-Eastern flavoured cuts from five producers from five different corners of the globe.  Our pick for the premiere comes from London based producer Timothy Clerkin of Eskimo Twins fame. Clerkin’s track fuses together the dispersant worlds of psychedelic guitar music and dark, eery acid, creating a hypnotising yet totally dancefloor-worthy jam. Check it below!
