Somersault & It Bends - Back Again

DJOKO - Alpha Centauri

Alex Ranerro, Max Casebolt, Cajal and Nikizi head to Madtech this August to deliver four fresh cuts in the next instalment of the label’s self-titled Various Artist series.

Known for championing productions from both exciting rising and emerging talents through to some of the biggest names in the industry, Madtech Records has established itself as a staple label for many since its inception back in 2012. Having recently revisited their self-titled V/A series, with contributions from the likes of Juliche Hernandez, Ray Mono and Kreutziger across the recent two instalments, the label now invites a fresh set of rising names to deliver four impressive cuts to the Madtech catalogue, welcoming recent PIV signee Alex Ranerro, London’s Max Casebolt, Argentinian Cajal and highly tipped DJ and producer Nikizi this August.

Slovenia’s Alex Ranerro opens the package with the slick ‘Usual Thing’, combining rich, warm chords and skipping percussion effortlessly, whilst Max Casebot’s ‘Focus’ switches up the aesthetic as garage-tinged basslines and slinking drums take control. Next, Cajal’s Lost Phone Mix of ‘2i418’ keeps the tempo high as skipping hats and a bubbling bass groove lead the charge, before Nikizi closes the EP and winds things down with the hypnotic and dubbed out ‘Palermo’.

Tel Aviv’s Stephan Bazbaz drops four stripped back house cuts on Madtech Records this September with his ‘AMBA’ EP.

As contributions towards the ever-growing sound of driving minimal house reverberates worldwide, Stephan Bazbaz has continually had his finger on the pulse of the movement by being at the forefront of underground club culture, quickly becoming an internationally recognised DJ and producer whilst confirming his position as one of the leading electronic music talents in Israel. His increasing catalogue includes previous releases on Moss Co., PIV, Rebelion, EWax and his own No Waves Records, whilst a busy DJ schedule has welcomed sets at the likes of Egg (London), Wilde Renate (Berlin), Sash (Sydney), and at Tel Aviv’s famous Breakfast Club where he features as a resident. 

Following his vinyl only release on Audionik Ltd., Bazbaz continues his journey by serving up another original selection and joining the roster of Madtech Records, following recent material from the likes of DJOKO, Alex Ranerro and Ray Mono.

Opening things up, ‘Wednesday’ dives in with punchy kicks and upbeat hats alongside haunting synths and vocal textures whilst fleeting bleeps, tight cymbal rolls and squelchy stabs catch attention within ‘CINQ’. Next ‘Morning Arps’ bumps along with side chained low-end, soft keys and a stripped back aesthetic, before sliding into ‘Anguria’ which signs off the EP with groove heavy bass samples, lively drums and warm echoed pads.

Madtech unveil their final V/A release of the year as Somersault, Jack Swift, Fyrone and Mikhu all deliver sleek dancefloor cuts for instalment eight.

Throughout 2019, Madtech has released a run of self-titled compilations alongside notable EP releases from DJOKO and Stephan Bazbaz as the label showcased a host of talents from within the minimal house sphere, including Alex Ranerro, Juliche Hernandez, Ray Mono, Aron Volta and many more. For this year’s final V/A, the London-based imprint does what it does best by bringing a slew of emerging artists to the forte, with this latest release featuring Australian artist Somersault, Rinse FM show host and DJ Jack Swift, Monocord and Ladeep producer Fyrone, with Basel-based Mikhu finalising the roster.

Next, Fyrone serves up a break influenced cut entitled ‘Disk’ with smooth sub frequencies, panned cymbals, layered claps and fluttering stabs before Mikhu closes the release with shuffling hi-hats, bubbling low-end, glossy keys and shiny one-shots on ‘Deste’.

South London based, Celsius, has built quite a name for himself over the past few years, releasing with Jaymo & Andy George’s reputable, Moda Black, imprint, as well as remixing for Anjuna Deep, and picking up BBC radio support from Skream, Annie Mac, Pete Tong and even filtering through to Nick Grimshaw’s daytime show, a striking sign of the modern appeal embodied in his music. Further support has come from Huxley, and Claude Von Stroke so it would seem Celsius is ticking all the boxes to elevate his career in 2013. Here he puts another foot forward, joining the MadTech roster following the steps of Citizen, No Artificial Colours, and Voyeur.

Title track ‘Incoming’ opens the single, and does so in style, with its enticing, pad and bass-driven intro, which soon, evolves into hectic synth stab and bass hook melodies that brilliantly, intricately develop throughout the track with baroque variations continually being introduced. The cosseting melodies, sporadic chords and a hi- pitched vocal licks are then worked into the structure intermittently to break things down and build tension surrounding the sturdy foundations, the result is a unique track covering lots of territory yet maintaining coherency.

Up next is ‘Thirds & Fourths’, which takes on a more, set-back, ethereal approach with the melodic side of things, opting to use soft pads, heavily delayed and reverberated string chops and FM synths. While shuffled rhythms, manipulated vocal snippets and the infectious bass-line carry the weight of the record. Then lastly to close the 12, is ‘No Ratio’, a slow-blooming, bass heavy, workout which again tightly blends cleverly sampled vocal lines, bright strings and loose 4/4 drums alongside an amalgamation of earth-shattering sub-bass and organ tones, creating a fantastic contemporary house number.

Next, Fyrone serves up a break influenced cut entitled ‘Disk’ with smooth sub frequencies, panned cymbals, layered claps and fluttering stabs before Mikhu closes the release with shuffling hi-hats, bubbling low-end, glossy keys and shiny one-shots on ‘Deste’.

Mikhu - Deste

Fyrone - Disk

Jack Swift - The Groove

MTDL kicks off 2013 with Wasn't Like That by new kid and rising talent Polkadot. Gentle chords, a bouncy bass and catchy vocal make this track an addictive feel good smash hit.

AZ&TOR - Resend (VIP Edit)

Australian pairing Somersault and It Bends combine this May to deliver ‘Back Again’ on Madtech Records.
Melbourne-based DJ and producer Somersault emerged onto the scene in 2019, making his mark as an artist on the up with releases via the likes of Blind Vision, Rawsome and Madtech Records and gaining support from artists including Archie Hamilton, Prunk, Ben Rau and DJOKO. A regular at Australia’s most notable nights and venues including Revolver Upstairs, S.A.S.H. and Goodbar, his take on house music has welcomed explorations into various pockets of the genre to date, and this is on display once again here as he combines with vocalist, It Bends. Born in Wollongong, but now based in Mexico City, the singer, songwriter and producer’s previous material falls right across the electronic spectrum, and here the pairing combine for the very first time this May to deliver the classy ‘Back Again’ on Madtech records.
Offering two alternative versions of ‘Back Again’, the ‘Sparkling Version’ unveils a production drenched in early UK garage and house influences, most notably via two-step drum arrangements and snaking basslines at the heart of the track, whilst the ‘Red Version’ pairs things back slightly to deliver a blossoming journey guided by rich bass, resonant chords and It Bends’ soulful yet delicate vocals.

(MTDL10) The Golden Boy - Do you

Madtech Records launched in 2012, and although only twelve releases deep, the roster boasts some of the most hyped up and comers in the industry, from Citizen and Theft through to Voyeur and Krystal Klear. Here the label continues in the same ilk, with some more hyped producers, in the shape of No Artificial Colours aka, Lewis Wright and Ryan Ellis. The pair have been kicking up a storm with their forward thinking take on house as of late, with releases for Nervous, Assembly and Beef Records.

The release kicks off with title track, ‘Crying Wolf’ here, which sees No Artificial Colours team up with singer Alex Mills, whose heartfelt vocals shook up a storm the world over on Miguel Campbell’s ‘Something Special’. The cut embraces an old school house aesthetic with a bubbling organ melody, raw shuffling rhythms and subtle nuances in the groove keeping things in an ever-evolving state of play.

Following on is ‘Restless Souls’ which see the duo work with yet another reputable vocalist in the contemporary house scene, namely, Cari Golden (Crosstown Rebels / Mobilee). The record employs bumpy 909 drums, a modern tipped bass hook and heavily reverberated vocal licks as its driving force, keeping things classy and understated. Last up to close the release is ‘Love feat. Sheff’, which tightly blends an amalgamation of vocal snippets, alongside a simple yet effective Hammond bass-line and a swinging off-kilter shuffle instilled in the drum programming, again resulting a smooth, new-age house track.

No Artificial Colours - Crying Wolf ft. Alex Mills (Clip)

The duo AZ&TOR, aka Aisha Zoe & Rich Main, were thrown into the limelight by BBC’s Introducing series, tipped as ones to watch, and releasing their debut ‘Resend’ via Madtech’s fortnightly free download series. The producer / singer outfit return to the label here with a full length EP, joining the likes of Citizen, Voyeur, Waze & Odyssey and Krystal Klear on the roster.

The EP kicks off with the original version of title track ‘Sit Back’, a contemporary deep-house workout, drenched with soul and cossetting warmth. Aisha’s heartfelt vocal lines brilliantly meander around the sturdy groove’s foundations, built upon organic piano chord progressions, bright string melodies and bubbling sub tones. ‘Feels Like’ follows, embracing a similar aesthetic with hypnotic, warbling synth melodies, shuffling, off- kilter drums and sensual vocal lines, jazzy sax licks add a further musicality to the cut, building to a focal point, where an elongated, penetrating bass takes things up a notch, resulting in a heady peak-time house number.

Next up is ‘Carry Mine’, displaying a more ethereal side to the duo’s productions with brooding pads, resonant synth lines, broken-beat drum programming and a contemporary house feel, achieved through an amalgamation of urban vocal lines.
Following their critically acclaimed ‘Crying Wolf’ EP which preceded this release, No Artificial Colours step in to rework, ‘Sit Back’, the duo stamp their signature low-slung, house meets garage sound on the original record, with hooky bass, heavily swung snares and murmuring chops of the original vocal. To close the release Polkadot turns in a mix of ‘Sit Back’, putting things on a New Jersey tip with raw 909 drums, Hammond organ tones and gritty saw-wave bass action.

This is yet another outstanding addition to the Madtech catalogue, and further testament to the attentive A&R approach of the imprint. AAZ&TOR’s ‘Sit Back’ EP is OUT NOW and yours to own via:
