HOPE116: Simply City - Breaking

EP Release Date: October 14, 2013

Physical: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/tunnel-signs-dream-city/506975-01/

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."

Tunnel Signs - Cylinder (Marc Houle Remix) | HAKT Recordings | 2013

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release.php?idxRelease=3713

Following in the footsteps of Sawlin and Yan Cook last year, Ann Aimee has readied its next release. This one comes from UK tastemaker and Radio 1 presenter Mosca, and is his first release of the year after previous releases on labels like Martyn’s 3024 and Hypercolour.

First up is ‘It's Not What It Looks Like’ - a hunched over, industrial tinged house groove with rattling percussion and a heavy kick drum. Fully of grainy textures and clanging machines, the whole thing is backlit with serene pads and smeared with deft synth patterns. ‘Kneecap’ is even more direct, with tiny little off kilter chords bringing a sense of paranoia to the barrelling beats and bristling percussion. It’s muscular and heavy yet inviting, whilst final offering ‘Press Up’ is a beautifully swung bit of deep and atmospheric house – all the edges are nicely frayed and the whole thing is smoothed over with misty textures as the barrelled-up sense of funk grows more and more lively as things progress. It’s been a while since we heard from Mosca, but this one sure was worth the wait.

As always with this lovingly crafted label, the EP comes with full cover artwork by Boris Tellegen.

Items & Things fans worldwide had a chance to prove themselves as big league level producers for the first time earlier this year.

Beatport’s “Marc Houle – Very Bad Remix Contest” drew over 132 entries from all corners of the world as contestants powered up their amplifiers and lit up their soundboards in hopes of snagging the grand prize: one Novation Dicer, the full Items &amp; Things back catalog, and the honor of having their remix digitally released on Items &amp; Things. In the end, 26-year old Retro Jay a.k.a. Josiah Kirton from Barbados claimed the fame with an upbeat Stripped Out remix.

The runner-up community pick, chosen by Beatport voters, went to 23-year old Exiva from Krivoy Rog, Ukraine who was awarded $50 worth of Beatport credits in addition to having his remix digitally released alongside both Marc Houle’s and Retro Jay’s remixes on IT015.

Once the deadline for submissions ended, Marc Houle went through all 132 remixes, ultimately selecting his favorite 10. Amongst the 10 was Retro Jay who was ultimately chosen with help from Magda and Troy Pierce.

The digital-only release will be available exclusively on Beatport on May 18 under the title: Very Bad Remixes. The original track can be found on the Undercover album which was released on Feb 24.

EP Release Date: Dec 17, 2012

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.

Slacknoise - Wanda's Wig Wax (Rosaire Argyle Bedside Table Mix) | Underline | 2005

Turbo Recordings presents the debut of Raid Over Moscow. Three instant synth-pop classics clad in modern dance armor. Featuring remixes by Jori Hulkkonen, Zyntherius, and Ewan Pearson.

Former Minus mathmaster / current Items & Things mogul Marc Houle teams
with Laure Bobin and Aymeric Mansoux to form Raid Over Moscow, leaving the line between post-nu-cold-minimal-synth-wave and vintage electroclash thoroughly straddled. Their pitch-perfect blend of computerman rhythms, hot accents and nation-shattering hooks could easily be a product of 1981, 2001, or 2021, so we'd like to think we're ahead of the curve here (yet again). Turbo is banking pretty heavily on a full-on electroclash revival, instructing our core artists to focus on songs about 1) smoking 2) how amazing / terrible fashion is and 3) sunglasses, and unusual times to wear them.

01 Rush To The Capsule (Original Mix)

02 High (Original Mix)

Download EP: http://www.beatport.com/release/kybernetik/1054757

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.
