Nina Kraviz launches her трип (pronounced ‘trip’) label with a double-EP compilation entitled ’The Deviant Octopus’, featuring a pair of brand new productions from Kraviz alongside material from Terrence Dixon, emerging talent Parrish Smith & Bjarki, and veteran producers Exos & Steve Stoll.

The idea for трип has been gestating for some time with Nina Kraviz, an avid crate-digger and frequenter of numerous second-hand record stores, who has long wanted to begin a label of her own which would build on some of the principles of her beloved 90s techno labels in terms of attitude and aesthetics, whilst looking for forward-thinking modern productions that reflect her core tastes for idiosyncratic electronic music.

The art and title of 'The Deviant Octopus' comes from a single-sentence scenario dreamt up by Kraviz: “Without a moment's notice an Octopus appeared and devoured everyone in sight”. Supplied with this scenario, artist Tombo rendered his own unique visualization for the artwork that adorns the release sleeve. It's Kraviz's own nod to the labels that inspire her and grab her attention while digging through second hand records, the best of which were imbued with the unique personality of the people behind them. This extends to the sound Kraviz intends for трип: dusky, divergent and trippy music to stimulate brains, dreams and fantasies.

In this respect ‘The Deviant Octopus’ is a perfect introduction: Kraviz herself is represented on the tracklist by two new tracks that take up the mantle of last year’s Mr Jones EP by returning to the vocal-flecked hypnotic techno that marked out that release. Complimenting those are two new cuts from a true master of hallucinatory off-kilter techno, Terrence Dixon in his Population One guise.

Joining them will be a pair of names from the techno pantheon who have been huge influences on Kraviz: with a career that’s taken in releases on Synewave, Trax, Novamute and Richie Hawtin’s early-90s Probe Records, Steve Stoll has been mining his own variant on techno and acid minimalism for over twenty years, heading up the Proper NYC label and releasing under various pseudonyms, such as Cobalt, of which Kraviz has been a long-term fan. His counterintuitively titled ‘Pop Song’ sits alongside a 13-minute 90s techno excursion from Reykjavik’s Exos - the only previously-released cut (originally appearing on Thule Records sub-label Plast Trax in 1998) - together illustrating that трип will also live up to its name in the geographical sense: showcasing great music from historically vibrant electronic music scenes outside of the usual Detroit-Berlin axis.

With Kraviz looking to build a small repertory of talent around трип, this first release also makes room for two newer names: Bjarki is an Icelandic talent to keep a firm eye on, who drew Kraviz’s attention in a chance meeting after a gig at Copenhagen’s Culturebox club, after which he passed her a collection of mind-bendingly odd demos; while Parrish Smith is a talented Netherlands-based producer whose short yet impactful sketch ‘1.0 / 8.0 Afrika Genocide’ brings the second 12” to a bewitching close.

All tracks on ‘The Deviant Octopus’ will feature on Nina Kraviz’s DJ Kicks compilation, out in January 2015 on !K7 Records.

Ninetoes - Paapaa / Jiving

Release date: December 29th 2014

As Berlin based producer Ninetoes makes his Saved debut with ‘Paapaa / Jiving’ there is a distinct feeling that a new raw and untapped talent has now been unearthed. With only a handful of releases to his name, the German has displayed an immense talent for filling his music with depth, flair and personality. It is that eccentricity, which is clear to see throughout his two track EP for Saved, combined with genuine talent behind the mixing desk that announces this diamond of a discovery.

‘Paapaa’ is a groovy, techno strut that has plenty of swing. Based around a deep bassline, tumbling, almost tribal drums and incessant vocals, the track swings and swirls as it evolves subtly. It is the well-timed gearshifts that inject the tune with purpose though, throwing the rhythms into wild and intoxicating disarray.

‘Jiving’ has an even wilder aesthetic, settling into a warm, balmy and exotic atmosphere. The bottom end is fully loaded and locked into a groove that swells from underneath. A curious breakdown that strips things down to just the vocal and indigenous drums is shattered when the total force of the track is unleashed once and for all. It’s an all-encompassing assault that sweeps everything in its way along with it. It’s a pleasure to be caught up in the mayhem.

The Lost Mixes Part 3
Release date: 15/06/2015

After a two and half year absence, The Lost Mixes makes a welcome return to Saved Records. Part 3 has come to fruition after a recent trip to the Saved vaults unearthed two hidden gems that simply demanded the right to see the light of day with a proper release. Nic Fanciulli & Butch’s lost remix of Lauren Lane’s “Cool Kids” and Mark Fanciulli’s “8 Track” Terrace Mix finally stand up to take the limelight they deserve.

Nic Fanciulli & Butch hone in on “Cool Kids” distinctive bassline for their delightfully playful remix. Keeping it simple, the pair inject a sense of swing into the grove courtesy of jostling beats and a frenetic top end. Laidback and fun, the remix finds a highly addictive quality through its own simplicity.

Mark Fanciulli ramps up the energy and dives headfirst into an unadulterated driving techno groove on “8 Track." Echoed brass parts and impassioned vocals fill the remix with a carnival spirit that runs right the way through the booming 4/4s and deep, driving basslines that provide the backbone.

Brodanse – Feel Me EP
Release date: June 29th 2015

Fast rising London-based brothers Brodanse are next up on Saved Records with a two track EP featuring their signature subterranean grooves and deep, dark techy vibes.

“Feel Me” is a stripped back, deep house cut that is simultaneously sparse and jacking. Each sound is given space to breathe as 303 drum machines splice straight through an atmosphere that although has a brisk tempo, is relatively restrained. That conflict creates a palpable tension within the track, exacerbated by stabbing synths and repeated, shrieking vocals. Somewhere between jacking, dubby and deep, this track has a distinctive feel and tone that is entirely of its own.

“Nightwatch” is a more laidback affair, tapping into a concoction of lush atmospheres, melodic basslines and warm synths. There is a spacey, textured aesthetic that allows the track to flow with a both a soulful sincerity and a purposeful drive. The brothers once again prove their deft hand at creating succinct moodiness in their modern yet unpretentious tech sound.

Brodanse - Feel Me (Edit)

Back at our mammoth Stay True Scotland broadcast earlier this month, one track came real close to bringing The Caves' roof down during Nina Kraviz's powerhouse headline set. "I Wanna Go Bang" very nearly executed its titular statement – well, if the song was more about wrecking balls and less about...oh, never mind.

The vocals that stalk the track, so wholly devoid of humanity, rub up against razor-sharp claps and serious bounce in the subs. It's weighty warehouse techno of the highest order, set to devastate dark basements and big tents alike throughout the year. Simply put: Icelandic producer Bjarki has delivered a bomb.

Grip the physical via трип from July 15th onwards.

Bjarki "I Wanna Go Bang" - Boiler Room Debuts

This typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with ‘U Said U’. A massively hyped tracks that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer’s Drumcode Radio in January. However, ’Love Siren’ will battle it out for the most attention from punters, packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops this is one for the big open air stages. ‘Rumours’ wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

Matthias Tanzmann has spent most of his career sticking to releases on his own Moon Harbour Recordings, but come the end of the month he's making the switch to Saved Records. 

2014's 'Reframed' 12" resulted in a collection of sharp-edged grooves, 'Get Up' a prime example of his like for bumpy rollers, and the German DJ and producer is spraying out similarly wavy beats on the floors of Space Ibiza, Robert Johnson and more this summer.

Partok Matushka Apfelberg - Nai Nai

Landing with a bang and in time for height of the summer season comes Eastern European producer and DJ Timmo, a rising tech house talent that’s already released with the likes Drumcode and Waveform Recordings, now makes his mark with Gregor Tresher’s always on point Break New Soil label. 

On the In My World EP, the Bulgarian focuses on tempo, rhythm and drive, turning in a 3 track EP of non-
nonsense dance floor ammo, eschewing remixes and collaborative numbers for a full fat collection that allows the budding producer to explore all facets of his sound. 

Kicking off the EP is Komplex – a driving, mechanistic track that piles on the hypnotic, hydraulic overtones. Snarling, gnashing and tough, its drop heralds the arrival of a thudding kick drum, producing the back bone as the track hisses, pops and bangs through its deep groove and 808 claps.

Title track In My world pushes a heavy slab of sub bass, before hissing and ticking snares – packed full of swing and pace – push the track forward, as radiating, mid range bass pierces the track’s plain. More groovy than Komplex – adorned by progressive melodies - it’s dark overtones and unapologetic effects make for an equally as moody piece for those with itchy feet. 

Finally, Timmo asks you to Trust In Me, as he notches the bass up further, with kick and baseline merging into one heavy lead rhythm, while compressed snares lift up the track in bursts of major tonal chord progression, restlessly deviating through a simultaneous weaving of high and low melodic touches.
