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.

Remain & Electric Rescue - ERMA (Marc Houle Remix) | Ideal Audio | 2012

Download here: http://www.beatport.com/track/slowpe-original-mix/2668001

Release date: 05/09/2011

Marc Houleʼs ʻSlowpeʼ ends the EP with a slightly slower pace, but in a disconcerting way: taking it down a few notches this one that transports the listener to the strangest dimension yet. Filtered melodies start the trackʼs ascent, sounding like a trumpet thatʼs been bent out of shape and played from the void. With dark textures compactly knit into a condensed wall of sound, a low-slung bassline trades places with eerie chords and sparse percussion.

Annie Mac Plays Mark Knight remix of Coma Cat

***OUT NOW*** Beatport: http://bit.ly/TR_TEN

After a decade of defining releases, worldwide sell-out tours, no.1 hits from international artists, countless industry awards & millions of downloads, Toolroom Records mark the 10-year milestone with a landmark release from Sander Van Doorn, Mark Knight and Underworld: the almighty ‘Ten’.
 
Combining 3 musical minds of such prestigious value could only ever result in a colossal release, especially considering the individual heritage of each contributing artist. Delivering a vocal performance akin to no.1 smash ‘Downpipe’, Underworld are once again poised to define a generation of Toolroom fans thanks to Karl Hyde’s signature lyricism echoing out across an expertly crafted electronic landscape. Making his debut on the label, Sander Van Doorn’s legacy in the world of electronic music is unparalleled, and so it’s only fitting that for such a landmark release he lend his trademark energized sound to the Toolroom Records catalogue. Mark Knight completes the trio of undisputed heavyweight producers, offering his label expertise to complete the ramped-up energetic workout of techno grooves and classic club riff that comprise the distinctive ‘Ten’.
 
Featuring original artwork from MM (Maxim from legendary British dance act The Prodigy), ‘Ten’ is only the beginning; this is the start of a brand new decade of Toolroom Records. Make the celebrations yours and join Toolroom in remembering 10 years of amazing music throughout the rest of 2013.


Sander Van Doorn & Mark Knight V Underworld - Ten

It all started with a fan letter…

“Hey Peter, just noticed you on a Rhys Chatham link. Just want to say I adore your work, I had a release on DFA recently, and they sent me some of your releases you did with Jonathan - so brilliant! I’ve had “Condo” track for a while, this completely catches my personality and when I feel disillusioned or need comfort, I always put this on, and it makes me feel good and strong.....i will stop gushing now! Thank you!

Nik Colk Void x”

This was Peter’s reaction…

“I was quite flattered and was glad that ‘Condo’, one of my lesser-know tracks, was being appreciated. (I was also curious, because the most-viewed clip of ‘Condo’ on Youtube is actually a slowed down version: someone played the 12” 45rpm EP at 33 rpm. The result, however, is quite beautiful.)

I responded, said I hoped we could meet the next time I am in London, and Nik then suggested that she had a track that she was working on, and would I like to listen to it and possibly collaborate. I am always game for a new challenge, so I said sure and Nik sent an mp3.

I was immediately struck by the haunting and evocative nature of the track, the analog synths feeling fresh and familiar at the same time, the vocals having a primal quality of breath and phrasing. I loaded the track into Ableton and instinctively began recording some overdubs. I used analog (Prophet 5) and digital (Moog iPad) synths and a soprano saxophone. I then sent a mix to Nik.

Nik responded quite positively, and over the next few weeks we exchanged files back and forth, experimenting with different mixes and submixes. After a couple of dozen rough mixes, accompanied by email discussions among the three of us (Gabe had entered the process after the first few exchanges,) we settled on a final mix. Shortly after we had a final mix, I synchronized the track with a video that my partner Kit Fitzgerald was working on. This long extended shot fit the music perfectly, and we had a video for ‘Beachcombing’. (A still from this video serves as the artwork for the 12”.)

Initially, there was going to be a one-sided 12”, with ‘Beachcombing’ the only track. Nik then wrote to me that Dominic was also interested in working on a track, and would I be interested in working on a B-side with Dom. Of course, I readily agreed, and I received an mp3 of synth tracks. As previously, I began building up tracks, using the alto sax (rather than the sopranino used on Beachcombing) and the addition of a vintage Korg vocoder.

Once again, a series of file exchanges of mixes, submixes and discreet tracks ensued, and we finally settled on mix #26a. There is kind of a sweet quality which surprised the both of us.”

The result is before you now and forthcoming on Optimo Music. Modern collaborations with magical results!

Please visit www.facebook.com/FutureFormMusic . Keep your ears & eyes pealed for what is to become a great imprint for future music.

Longstanding legend, John Graham, aka Quivver, delivers the first original for FutureForm Music's premiere release. In textbook Quivver style, 'The Fog' represents an infectious, groove-laden, speaker rumbling and mind altering experience. Punchy drums, throbbing sub bass, eclectic synth hits and vocal stabs drive the track into the realms of dance floor destruction. Relentless in its nature, ‘The Fog’ will have you moving uncontrollably with its addictive cadences.

Finland’s progressive-techno champion, Cid Inc., provides the first remix on the package, a markedly hypnotic and mesmerising interpretation that is sure to take listeners on an unforgettable journey in sound. Subtle yet powerful stacking of pulsating synth layers in combination with a crisp, thumping drum groove and a commanding bass line will transport you into an interplanetary hypnosis. Undoubtedly, this remix is one of Cid Inc.’s most captivating productions to date.

Rounding off the first part of FutureForm’s premiere release is Brazilian DNYO, with his ‘2029’ remix, a superb rendition that skillfully bridges the gap between the eclectic music heard at 90's warehouse raves, with the cutting edge sounds of next decade’s techno visionaries. Immense waves of morphing bass frequencies and twisted beats establish a solid foundation, making way for the lead arpeggiator lines to induce dance floors into a trance like state.

Reach for the heavens and get ready to be taken on a trip to the future and back, FutureForm is here.


Quivver -  The Fog (Cid Inc Remix) out now!

Pär Grindvik's Stockholm LTD label has been around for over ten years now and it's easy to tell that the label is Pär's love child. Wrapped up with emotions Pär is delivering the frequencies on Stockholm LTD's first release in 2013: "The Air EP" is setting a high standard for the year to come. With this journey in sound, Pär is choosing form over function. It's very clear this music comes from deep within.

EP Release Date: March 29, 2013

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.

Marc Houle - Kicker | Items & Things | 2006

Download here: http://www.beatport.com/track/extreme-original-mix/382587

Release date: 07/09/2012

Magda, Troy Pierce and Marc Houle’s occasional label Items and Things makes a welcome return featuring four more superlative grooves from Marc Houle, Kasper, Thrill Cosby and Alexi Delano.

The label was created as an outlet for the weird, experimental and beautiful sounds the trio often come across on their travels and Spies and Lies fits the bill perfectly, containing music that will stimulate, overwhelm and confound in equal measures.

Extreme by Marc Houle is a classic piece of atmospheric, sci fi techno. Relying on a bare minimum of sounds, it generates suspense from the fantastic octave jumping, 6/8 retro synth line at its heart, with some additional morphs and tweaks adding further dynamics to the proceedings. Odd, quirky but with an inherent phatness, Extreme is a standout track!

Oogity Boogity is another experimental groove laced with ominous cello stabs, African flavoured percussion and freaky, messed up vocal overdubs. The oscillating bassline bubbles along as Thrill Cosby navigates a tricky path through this murky, efx laden landscape which is as strange as it is enticing.

Kasper’s, whose recent R U OK remix has established him as one to watch, Turn Tricks On The Side is a more typical late night groover with Stockhausen-esque peripheral fx and a deep, dark pumping bassline. Just as it gets going Kasper suddenly breaks it down and an evil wind ushers in the central hookline like you’ve just opened the door to some haunted dancefloor, you want to run and hide but the infectious beats keep you rooted to the spot.

Last but by no means least, Would You? is a flowing, vocal tinged affair from Alexi Delano. The precision groove, twisted synth lines, intense breakdown and subtle edits all add up to make it a really accomplished peak time floor filler.
