The Beatangers - My Game

What if we told you that you could enjoy the sound of tomorrow today, would you be interested? Forgive for getting all Morpheus on you - that's the black guy from The Matrix for all you teeny boppers out there - but we're a little bit excited here at Data Transmission HQ and Italian producer Lehar's latest production, Number One Hero,  is to blame. 

Making his debut on Diynamic’s sister label 2DIY4, we've been unable to get his new single - or its two accompanying remixes - off our office playlist since it arrived in our bulging inbox last month and so set about securing one of the record's three incarnations for exclusive premiere. 

Unfortunately for us, we were given the opportunity to have our pick of the litter. Much head scratching then ensued and after multiple shouting matches and a narrowly won vote, the ayes had it and we decided that Cologne producer Peter Pardeike's rework was ever so slightly more our cup of tea. That's not to say we don't love Engrave LTD boss Musumeci's version, we do, and with both are set to pick up heavy play in a club near you soon, we're sure you will too. Until then check out you can stream Pardeike's rerub above. You'll be glad you did.

„In unserer Szene ist ein Jahrzehnt eine lange Zeit“, sagt Alex Flitsch, Gründer des Labels Connaisseur Recordings (@alexconnaisseurrecordings). Diesen Satz spricht der Labelbetreiber nicht ohne Grund aus: Seine Homebase feiert in diesem Jahr nämlich seinen zehnten Geburtstag. Zu diesem runden Jubiläum veröffentlicht das Offenbacher Imprint eine zweiteilige Kollektion namens „10y of Connaisseur“. „Als wir mit dem Label anfingen, hatten wir keinen Masterplan“, betont Flitsch, „wir wollten einfach nur gute Musik herausbringen, die wir liebten.“ (...) Unter den Tracks befindet sich ein gemeinsames Werk von @olderic und @peterpardeike. (...)

He Is The Voice I Hear’ is my first all new work since “Lady Of Sorrows.” It’s been a long journey from there to here. I’m so thrilled to continue the story and finally realize my dream of bringing together an ensemble of live musicians.

This record was a joy to create with my engineering and production partner, Rupert Murray, Davide Rossi on strings and Christoforo LaBarbera on keys. The vinyl was mastered and cut by Tim Xavier for Manmade Mastering.  We’ve also put some special touches into the design of the record itself. 

Incredible thanks to Adam Rowe, Andrew Gordon, Jake Nelson and everyone that helped make this record possible at all.

Here's the edit of Kollektiv Turmstrasse's Jupiter Sunrise that I put together for my Chill Set at Rainbow Serpent 2017.

The original version only lasts for 4 minutes and is very unforgiving when attempting to play within a DJ set. It's such a beautiful piece of music that I feel ends a little bit too abruptly, so I recycled an extra verse and added in a sly little outro to make it a bit more DJ friendly. Hope you dig!

Release Date: 5th May 2017

Three records taken from Jian Kellet Liew a.k.a Kyson’s internationally acclaimed 2016 album ‘A Book Of Flying’; ‘A Song About The Future’, ‘Flightless’, and ‘You’ receive three fresh reworks, marking the Anjunadeep debut of the Australian born, Berlin based vocalist and producer. First up ‘A Song About The Future’, the original, a stunning contemplative vocal number from the LP, gets a textured underground rework from fellow Berliner and Kompakt affiliate, Dave DK, who returns to Anjunadeep following his memorable 2014 remix of Vincenzo. Next, Anjuna mainstay Jody Wisternoff and label boss James Grant put their distinctive deep house touch on ‘Flightless’; a familiar moment from the pair’s recent iTunes Dance #1 album ‘Anjunadeep 08’. Another Berliner, Ryan Davis rounds off the package following on from his impressive ‘From Within’ EP on Anjunadeep last year. Davis warps the delicate original into a dark and brooding electronic cut.

Little Voices

English version: Already the record’s cover shows the way: Tangled lines result in an image of a dog’s head, with its mischievously contrary look: Perhaps the hallmark of Dachshund, who advertises on his Facebook page that this is, “music for dogs” - an artist who is obviously not taking himself too seriously. But he has every reason to. The Swiss native jets around the world as a DJ, is an extremely resourceful producer with an unwavering sense of rhythm and beats and has also now established his own label, “Clapper”. None of this seems to be enough for Dachshund. With “Eleven Ridims” he presents his debut album on the Berlin label “Highgrade”. Let us state clearly: The record is a victory for those who are tired of the sterile monotony that populates so much of the music to be found in the current scene. In each of the eleven tracks you can hear the heart and soul of a thoroughbred musician. Although “Eleven Ridims” is incredibly varied, from the melodic and quiet, to the pounding dancefloor killers and back, the album works as a unified whole. Perhaps this is a result of it’s method of creation. “It felt completely natural to make this album,” Dachshund says himself. In the beginning the beats and melodies were established in his head, and from there they almost seemed to evolve into tracks by themselves.

For Dachshund, “Eleven Ridims” is a unique opportunity to show another side of himself: From the path of pure dancefloor tracks through to more melodic pieces. At the same time, the album is a tribute to his musical roots. As the title suggests: “Ridims” is a Jamaican slang term for an instrumental track. And very clearly from the sunny islands come many of Dachshunds musical influences: It was the Jamaican dub of the 70s to the 90s, which as a teenager inspired the budding musician and led him, as a 15 year old, to play guitar in a reggae band. From that point on, the music has never let him go: At the Konservatorium in Geneva, he took courses in electro-acoustics and learned pretty much everything there was to know about producing music. Gradually, his interest developed more towards Electronic Dub - he began to organize drum and bass parties and mixed records, and eventually ended up where he is today. The Reggae and Dub influence of his past is still clearly evident here. As with the track “Intensity Dub”, in which he brings the rough riding and natural sound of the past back to life. Analogue techniques result in distorted sounds, which radiate a unique energy. “I like it because it reminds me of my beginnings”, Dachshund says. The track is very different from the standard Dub Techno – a stroke of luck for Dachshund and typical of his method of making, music: “When I compose, I don’t like rules, but try to be spontaneous and open,” he says.

For Dachshund, “Eleven Ridims” is a new step in his career. A step however, in which he feels no pressure. “It was great that I had the freedom with Highgrade to do what I wanted,” he says. He isn’t nervous, but simply excited about the upcoming reactions. And the reactions for “Eleven Ridims” can only be those of excitement and delight.

Deutsche Version: Schon das Cover weist den Weg: Aus verschlungenen Linien entsteht ein Hundekopf, der einem verschmitzt entgegen blickt: Das Markenzeichen von Dachshund, der auf seiner Facebook-Seite damit wirbt, “music for dogs” zu machen - ein Künstler, der sich offensichtlich selbst nicht zu ernst nimmt. Dabei hätte er allen Grund dazu. Der Schweizer jettet als DJ um die Welt, ist ein überaus einfallsreicher Producer mit einem untrüglichen Sinn für Rhythmen und Beats und hat noch dazu mit „Clapper“ sein eigenes Label gegründet. Das alles scheint Dachshund nicht zu reichen. Mit „Eleven Ridims“ stellt er nun sein Debütalbum beim Berliner Label „Highgrade“ vor. Eines gleich vorneweg: Die Platte ist eine Wohltat für all jene, die genug haben vom sterilen Einheitsbrei, den so mancher Kopf der Szene heutzutage produziert. Jedem einzelnen der elf Tracks hört man das Herzblut eines Vollblutmusikers an. Obwohl „Eleven Ridims“ unglaublich abwechslungsreich ist, vom melodisch-ruhigeren Track zum und hämmernden Dancefloor-Stück und zurück, wirkt die Scheibe doch wie aus einem Guss. Vielleicht ein Ergebnis der Entstehungsgeschichte. „Es fühlte sich natürlich an, das Album zu machen“, sagt Dachshund selbst. Am Anfang habe es in seinem Kopf Beats und Melodien zu geben, aus denen sich wie von selbst die Tracks entwickelt hätten.

Für ihn ist „Eleven Ridims“ eine einmalige Chance, eine andere Seite von sich zu zeigen: Weg von den reinen Dancefloor-Tracks hin zu melodischeren Stücken. Gleichzeitig ist das Album eine Hommage an seine musikalischen Wurzeln, was schon der Titel verrät: „Ridims“ ist ein jamaikanischer Slang-Ausdruck für einen instrumentalen Track. Und genau von der Sonneninsel stammen auch Dachshunds musikalische Einflüsse: Es war der Jamaican Dub der 70er bis 90er Jahre, der ihn bereits als Teenager begeisterte und dafür sorgte, dass er schon als 15-Jähriger Gitarre in einer Reggae-Band spielte. Von da an ließ ihn die Musik nicht mehr los: Am Konservatorium in Genf belegte er Kurse in Elektroakustik und lernte so ziemlich alles, was es über das Produzieren von Musik zu wissen gibt. Allmählich entwickelte sich sein Interesse mehr in Richtung elektronischer Dub – er begann Drum’n’Bass-Partys zu organisieren und zu mixen, um schließlich dort zu landen, wo er heute ist. Der Reggae und Dub von einst ist ihm allerdings immer noch anzuhören – wie etwa im Track „Intensity Dub“: Darin lässt er den rauen, ungekünstelten Sound von einst wiederauferstehen, analoge Techniken erzeugen einen verzerrten Klang, der eine ganz eigene Energie verströmt. „Ich mag das, weil es mich an meine Anfänge erinnert“, sagt Dachshund selbst dazu. Der Track unterscheidet sich so stark vom üblichen Dub-Techno – für Dachshund ein Glücksfall. Und typisch für seine Art, Musik zu machen. „Wenn ich komponiere, mag ich keine Regeln, sondern versuche spontan und offen zu sein“, beschreibt er.

Für Dachshund ist „Eleven Ridims“ ein neuer Schritt in seiner Karriere – bei dem er jedoch keinen Druck verspürte. „Es war toll, dass ich bei Highgrade die Freiheit hatte, das zu tun, was ich will“, betont er. Nervös sei er nun nicht, eher gespannt auf die Reaktionen. Und die können bei „Eleven Ridims“ einfach nur begeistert ausfallen.
