Hardly a stranger to the scene, Ash Moses first made a name for himself in DJ booths across his hometown of Sydney. It wasn't long before the bonafide musician crossed the DJ booth threshold into the realm of production under the Tunnel Signs moniker and, eventually, as one-half of the Death Strobe label, where he released his debut 'Sun' EP. Remixed by the likes of Daniel Avery and championed by DFA's James Murphy, 'Sun' made ripples in' the electronic pond far beyond his homeland. Following its success, Ash Moses has returned with a solid EP via Have A Killer Time.  

The product of two years in the studio, 'Dream City' brings to life an array of Ash's influences across 5 tracks. Layered, complex, and slightly tortured, the record is a seamless amalgamation of inspiration.  

"I really got into a lot of minimal wave/EBM stuff whilst making the record and found a lot of it meshes nicely with my love for science fiction, especially books and films with an underlying sense of foreboding and a climate where technology has run amok," says Ash of 'Dream City.'

A child of the '80s, Ash grew up idolizing 'Ghostbusters' and, in turn, the city of New York. 

"I was always really fascinated by the city of New York and how it was an important character in those films," says Ash. "I loved the underground subway scenes in the second film and this began a lifelong interest with the unseen and hidden sides of cities."

Subsequently, he credits a trip to the city and experiencing its gritty beauty for influencing the record. 

"Going to New York for the first time and seeing the steam rise from the grates fascinated the hell out of me."

“The dream city is unnervingly familiar yet totally alien. In terms of the record, it’s a reference to the skewered music, vibes and imagery that fueled the release."

French label Meant serve up another EP from their fast rising Montreal based duo Vosper. Made up of Edouard Le and Christopher Byron, the pair excels in analogue funk, have also released on Throne of Blood and here get remixed by Items & Things man Marc Houle. Taking some of their cues from the likes of Drexcyia and Mark Bell, the duo have a sound somewhere between darkened techno and physical EBM.

Vosper - Isolation (Marc Houle Remix) | Meant Records | 2013

Kazuya Nagaya
Utsuho
MINUS107 WAV, MP3

Originally released in 1999 on the AME Ambient label, "Utsuho" was Kazuya Nagaya's first ambient music album - a delicately constructed sonic world largely composed of the sounds of traditional bells and gongs found in the temples of Tibet, Bali or Japan, juxtaposed with delicate use of modern keyboards and guitars.

The textures of "Utsuho" - named after a mystical tree hollow with magical powers in the 10th century Japanese Novel "Utsuho Monogatari" - feature heavily the deeply reverberating sounds of these traditional temple instruments. Informed by the sensibilities and philosophical views of his previous literary works, Nagaya's music takes a deeply spiritual path. The sound of giant Japanese temple bells that feature heavily in his music are listened to every New Year's eve by large crowds who flock to the temples in the belief that the long echoes of the bell chimes can purify and wash away the the cares of the mortal world. The reverent silence of the crowds reflect the sensation of deep personal calm engendered through meditation or Zen.

Having been brought to Richie Hawtin's attention during a cultural trip to Japan in 2008, Nagaya was asked to contribute a remix to the Replikants disc of the 2011 Plastikman Arkives release. Now, with Richie Hawtin and Minus traveling to Japan on May 4th for a special Womb Tokyo event celebrating Japanese culture in the wake of the March 2011 earthquakes, Nagaya's debut album gets a release on Minus, as Hawtin looks again to support another aspect of Japanese art that he finds so inspiring:

"A few years ago while in Tokyo I found myself in a small Japanese arts and crafts store. After looking around for twenty minutes or so I started to realize that a soft and almost inperceivable rhythm of bells and gongs had been playing in the background. The subtle vibrations of tones had taken over my subconscious and reverberated in my head and transfixed my attention. This experience led me to the work of Kazuya Nagaya whose delicate use of sonic landscapes remind me of the more quiet moments of Consumed." - Richie Hawtin

Mauricio Barembuem (Barem) spent his youth playing blues and rock guitar, but quickly took advantage of the digital revolution in which he was living, soon getting to grips with programmes like Ableton and Reason to start crafting his own electronic sounds: a keen individualist, this form of musical expression was the one Barem really enjoyed. With releases on labels like Foundsound and Minus, he quickly made a name for himself in the techno world.

Influenced by imprints like Perlon, Spectral Sound, Studio One, Ovum, 7th City as well as, of course, Minus, he began on a long journey honing his own unique sonic fingerprint. His first release, the Kleine EP, on free internet label Unfoundsound Records in 2005 was responsible for kicking off Barem’s career. The track “Suki,” was picked up by a number of internationally acclaimed DJs and re-released on vinyl label Phonocult two years later. After a few online releases, Barem signed with Minus for the label’s Min2Max compilation with “Opal”.

More releases followed on Minus, as Barem style evolved from stark, digital and abstract into a more organic tech house sound as exemplified by his Kolimar EP. The successful releases were accompanied by appearances on major festivals such as Mutek, DEMF, TimeWarp, Tomorrowland, Creamfields and many more across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

“I love bass. That's where my tracks are sustained and where I concentrate most energy. I'm not really the melodic kind of producer. But somehow melodies happen on a random secondary layer by the interaction of elements which I always want to be on tune. I love percussion and that's my second main resource. Most of my tracks are very loopy and groovy. I like when the groove pushes you to dance with no effort while the loop gets you hypnotised. My favourite songs ever are all very simple and that's what I try to do in general.”

The crowning glory in this producer’s discography to date is his full-length album, After The Storm. Released in June 2011, the album goes deeper and deeper into Barem’s percussive driven grooves, natural sounding rhythms and rich, well-defined sound palette. A genuine journey from start to finish that touches on dub, takes cues from acid, but always remains warm, and mystical. The album has also spawned another world tour, which saw the man play live shows across the world for the first time since 2008.

Off.Soundz.9 - Hobo in Argentina (July 2015)

From the release Down &amp; Out Vol.1 (IT07)

Magda teams up with Suade, a producer &amp; friend from Newcastle that we're sure to see more of, together they bring forth a true builder, a creeper; the type of track that reveals itself more with each layering sequence. A masterclass in dynamics, ‘Fixation’ is a dark groove that’s haunted by a chilling vocal, wavering synth vibrato, unexpected melodies, and juxtaposes of funk. Angular drums hit alongside swells of percussive echoes but, the focus of the track revolves around the bassline’s movement. As catchy as it is esoteric.

For his new EP, "Undercover", Items & Things co-founder Marc Houle jumps in his time machine and heads back in time. Destination Chicago, 1987, and a face to face with Master C&J exploring the mysterious power of plunging basslines and moody synths. On remix duties Berlin based Miro Pajic sneaks in charting a decidedly bleepier course while Bruno Pronsato delivers his signature 'romantic techno' sound. There's no way back and Marc launches the fist bars of ?Undercover? with just a bouncy kick and a vintage ?house? bassline. With reverb in full effect the drums and hi-hats find their own space and time. Then, if the synths that roll in aren?t mysterious enough for you, the pillow talk vocals will be. The end of each line, spoken with a certain sense of agitation, is covered by chords that ride, all night long. The revelation is for your imagination but you might not want to be ?Under Covers? with this guy. Next up, Miro takes the dirty sheets and chucks them in the washing machine for a good old fashioned rinse and spin. This mix creeps along all bubbles, pops, tick tocks and rim shots. Snare rolls glide in and out of time only to snap back for a sub-bass drop or a little heavy breathing. What more can you ask for? Bruno?s ?Electric Blanket Dub? warms things up quite nicely with its intricate, heady take on the original. Bringing a subtle balance to the three mixes with vaguely organic tones, natural rhythms and spontaneous drum fills, Mr. Pronsato comes through in full on a cold Berlin night. The final track, ?Triple E?, is an underground goodie brandishing a relentless kick and enough swing to make Chancellor Merkel do the Jitterbug. Combine sharp snares, a muted bass warble and nonsensical vocal snips panning from side to side and you have the perfect late night jack track or pump priming party starter. True to the ?no rules? vision laid out by Marc, Magda and Troy, this new edition of ?Items & Things? is weird and wonderful with more bounce to the ounce.

Marc Houle grew up in Windsor, Canada with Detroit as his mid-90’s backyard party playground – as a kid he had a love for obscure new wave & analog synths, so it was just a matter of time before he started making music of his own. Ask any of his friends, and they’ll tell you the same: the guy is a prolific music-making-machinist, dedicated to quality, but quantity as well – with nearly 1,000 tracks to his credit (most of which are tucked away on his hard drive as super secret weapons).

Now taking the reigns alongside his A&R partners Magda & Troy Pierce, Marc Houle has resurrected their label Items & Things, breaking it free from its former Minus sub-label status. Spanning electronic genres in a variety of forms… from disco tech to experimental to techno, to bring their eclectic tastes together as an outlet for music they discover on their travels & a home for their own releases.

Marc Houle’s current sound can be described in cityscapes – somewhere between Chicago & Detroit, with a new-wave underbelly. His live performances are always diverse & genre-bending reigns supreme. No two sets are ever the same, except perhaps, their ability to impress the crowd.

He’s travelled a long way from his 1997 residency at Richie Hawtin’s club “13 Below” in Detroit, to being asked to join the legendary Minus label, now making Berlin his home & continuing to show his diverse musical roots on his productions. In February 2012 Marc Houle released his heavy-hitting, second album and single “Undercover” on Items & Things, with more releases in the making.

Actual Jakshun - Sequential Circus (Marc Houle Remix) | Minus | 2005

Dense & Pika - Crackling - White 004

Poker Flat Classics continues its highly promising series with a huge pair of reworks of a seminal Poker Flat track. 

Martin Landsky’s '1000 miles' –originally released in 2006, rightfully takes the stage in the second instalment – receiving blistering remixes from two true masters. 

Laurent Garnier’s incredible career barely needs commenting on; suffice to say he brings his trademark, tough and epic sound to the forefront here. Pushing '1000 miles' into yet more mind-bending shapes, the Frenchman injects the original with a new sense of urgency. Welding a fractured synth melody around Landsky’s big room hook, the results are a pure techno moment – sure to cause a stampede to the booth at most discerning clubs. 

Holland’s Gerd, responsible for some recent incendiary dancefloor burners of his own, also drops another bomb here. Under his Geeeman persona, Gerd, twists '1000 miles' into a trippy, euphoric monster – a late night house detonation for the heads and a fitting tribute to Landsky’s modern classic.

The digital release features another three tracks, which include Landsky's original versions of '1000 miles' and its re-interpretation '2000 miles', as well as the stunning Loco Dice remix of '1000 miles'.

WetYourSelf! Recordings parting shot for 2012 comes in the form of a four track EP from bone-fide techno innovator Marc Houle and is entitled ‘Zorba’ EP.

Having left Richie Hawtin’s M_Nus in 2011 to refocus energies on his, Magda and Troy Pierce’s Items & Things imprint, Marc Houle has continued to impress fans of forward thinking techno, most recently with his Undercover LP project. Houle’s involvement with WetYourSelf!’s weekly club night goes back years while his superb remix for APP’s ‘All I Can Think About’ on WYS! Recordings 2011 meant he was a must have for a future release.

From the plucked bass tones of opener ‘Zorba’ to the fluttering reed synths of closer ‘Oo oo’, Italo and Cosmic disco is the dominating force on this rare foray outside of the Items & Things camp, and the results are infectious.

The unstable, detuned bass of ‘I Uh You’ create a woozy, drunken funk that fans of Houle’s material will lap up while the uninitiated will no doubt be taken by it’s weirdo charm, a trope that bleeds through the entire EP but really unleashes in third track ‘Rainysnake’, a masterpiece in loose, machine music.

Overall, ‘Zorba’ is the sound of Houle playing with his influences and playing with his machines and the result is a resolutely ‘fun’, unique and sometimes bizarre EP.
Marc Houle’s ‘Zorba’ EP is released on WSY! Recordings mid-December 2012.

Tracklist:
1. Zorba
2. I Uh You

Nightlife’s International treasure, Heidi is back with the second release on her label project, this time presenting ‘Jackathon Jams feat. Alexis Raphael & Marc Houle’. With bubbling UK talent, Alexis Raphael at the helm and a remix by Items and Things label boss Marc Houle, this is a nifty little collection of club weapons with that all-important Jackathon swagger.

Heidi started her Jackathon Jams imprint earlier this year, bringing Miss Kittin, Maya Jane Coles and tINI together in one tidy package and is next championing Alexis Raphael, one of London’s favourite DJ/Promoters. With a handful of sensational tracks under his belt (on Hot Creations and Lower East) and running one of London’s most popular club nights Crèche, it’s no wonder Alexis has caught the attention of Heidi.

Delivering two special productions for the imprint’s sophomore release, both tracks carry a nod to retro house with some offbeat modern flavour. A-side ‘Brickwall’ kicks off with sauntering percussion and a rubbery bassline soon to be invaded by wonky synths and FX along with a central vocal line. Second original ‘You Can Do It’ follows in a similar vein with another distinctive spoken male vocal entering the pulse of the rough-edged, jacking groove.

A superb Marc Houle remix rounds off the package as the Berlin pioneer takes ‘Brickwall’ and bestows his own stripped back and expansive approach, warping the vocal to form a barely recognisable framework then unleashing darkly seductive chimes, building the drama with big beats and abstract melodies.

Digging through the vault earlier this year I came across this track Chuck Gaydicaca.  I had made it years ago for Run Stop Restore but it never found its way to a release although it did make an appearance on She's a Dancing Machine mixed in behind.  I decided to mix it down again this year. I really love the moody old feel it has - complete with some old video game samples and that signature RSR shuffle bassline.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Merry Christmas, ميلاد مجيد, Eguberri on, bon Nadal, joyeux Noël, fröhliche Weihnachten, Καλα Χριστούγεννα, merii kurisumasu, wesołych świąt bożego Narodzenia, buon Natale and с Рождеством Христовым!!

Following two tracks on the label compilation “Variables,” Iranian-born, Berlin-raised DJ and producer Nyma returns to Items & Things with Kybernetik, his debut solo release for the label, released here as a digital exclusive. A mainstay on Berlinʼs club scene and perennial figure in the Items & Things camp, Nyma hones his craft with Kybernetik, its slow burning disco groove and relentless funk guaranteed to function as adequately in a warm up set as at peak time; its contagious rhythms as appropriate for that early morning injection of energy or for the creation of that late night disco explosion.
 
Fusing organic instrumentation with machine, the driving rhythms, slap-bass hits, and infectious guitar riffs of the original are drawn out on the EPʼs flip side, with the dub version bringing the bass even further into the forefront of the mix: breathing additional groove into the track whilst nevertheless maintaining the dynamic intensity of the original. 

Remix duties come from label boss Marc Houle, who in true Items & Things fashion strips Nymaʼs original down to its bare bones, sprinkles it with his unique blend of experimental techno, and turns the bass up to eleven. What results is a mix as eerie as it is groove driven: its building lead lines, stuttering 909 hats, and synth eccentricities a flawless expansion on the funk of the original.
