Denis Kenzo & Hanna Finsen - Dancing In The Dark

Sirus Hood makes his Criminal Hype debut with a really special package! Sirus is no stranger to the scene, but now starting to thrash a new path into a techier sound he introduces the Happy Daze EP. Whoopee is one of this tracks that stands out a country mile for all the right reasons! Oozes originality with a bass that will quite simply leave you shook up! Yeah takes a more rolling journey, really delving into Sirus' new sound!

Remixing this package was no small task so we brought in some of the finest! Waifs & Strays puts an epic rub on 'Whoopee'! Gives the original a whole new dimension of warmth and depth to leave you in awe! Glasgow Undergrounds Illyus & Barrientos put their trademark, funk infused vibe on 'Yeah' to round off the EP with brilliance!

Nightclub EP

Premiere: Tiga Vs. Audion - Stabbed In The Back

Out Now on 12" Vinyl & all major digital platforms: TurboRec.lnk.to/NightclubEP

Following the mega-hit “Let’s Go Dancing” and the micro-hit “Fever,” Nightclub marks the third release from techno truth-tellers Tiga vs. Audion. To announce the EP, Tiga recently gave a lengthy audio press conference while driving a Turbo company car all the way down to City Hall. A partial transcript follows:

ON THE INSPIRATION

“Living in contemporary society? It’s a joke. But what’s no joke is that rough times call for rough customers, and this EP finds two top techno producers in the mood for ballsiness, reflecting the times with a harder-edged sound, harder-edged artwork, and harder-edged calls for our leaders to remember that the dance floor was built on unity, plurality, and unshacklable animality.”

ON THE TRACK TITLES

“After careful study, we came to the conclusion that the worse the titles, the more ‘techno’ the tracks. A-side ‘Stabbed in the Back’ takes its name from the fact that the track has keyboard stabs in it. Maybe my least favourite title of anything I’ve ever done, which is remarkable considering the runner-up was an unreleased stab-free track called ‘Doctors Without Keyboards.’ ‘Pink Bells’ was originally called ‘The Bells’ but I was told that this guy Geoff had already used it. ‘Nonstop’ got its name from the fact that I was really on a roll with bad titles at the time.”

ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS

“It’s extremely challenging to make instrumental techno with enough of a hook and enough of a funk to stand out, and it’s exponentially more difficult when I know deep down I could make everything alright so easily with just the sound of my voice. We bought a set of Bryan Adams Studio Flash Cards, which instructed us to make the kind of hyper-utilitarian dance tracks we could play in our own DJ sets. Sometimes, even musicians need to be reminded to put themselves first.”

​As Sian gets ready to release his second album ‘Capital Crimewave’ on April 10, the Octopus Recordings label boss sat down with Mixmag to discuss the vision behind the new material, his thoughts on the dance music industry and share a free download of the album’s bonus track.

Following the release of his debut album in 2002, Sian has released numerous dancefloor focused tracks, but has not returned to the album format. The new material is a departure from what many listeners have grown accustomed to and offers a new look at his unique approach to production.

As the new material stands out from the label’s catalogue, Sian revealed that he hopes to reach new fans and give existing ones a new side to his persona: “That’s how I see it going already from promoting this music over the last few weeks. The kind of people that are coming to us are the kind of people who would maybe also listen to Bonobo or Modeselektor. Or just good music in general, not so specific.”

The spanish duo from La Mancha has captured the attention of industry heavyweight curators since their debut on Dirtybird Records with their EP “Mude Tod” late in 2015. Their melodic deep house sound covered with sultry vocals has characterized enigmatic tracks like “Murnau” and “Crosses And Angels” which was selected to be in Tomorrowland’s 2016 CD compilation with their appearance on Belgium’s megafestival.

After launching in October 2015, Lopezhouse has since been on the road through their native Spain and completing a tour in Mexico. While in Tulum, the duo completed their EP which includes “See The Line” and “Encrypted Name” released through Exploited Records. The track includes vocals by their secret weapon, Angela, bringing a dark undertone to the elegantly mixed tracks. Right now, the duo has engagements on both sides of the ocean, EP releases and a few other surprises that will pile on the short and already exceptional trajectory of Lopezhouse. Spanish Vicious Magazine nominated them for Best Artist Revelation and Solomun has been playing one of their upcoming tunes in his sets. 

We are proud to present their second EP on EXPLOITED entitled 'Future In Your Head' which features 3 great indie dance punk funk disco tracks featuring Angela back on vocals. When we first heard the tracks it reminded us a bit of indie rock band 'The Gossip'. Pure class!

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons return to Crosstown Rebels with the iconic I Found You, remixed by Black Coffee and former resident of Trouw Patrice Bäumel.

Lazarus closed his Day Zero festival in Mexico with I Found You back in January, and since then it has become one of his most requested tracks. His magical live project The Ancient Moons was first unleashed in 2014 with Lover’s Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya) and followed in 2015 by the highly acclaimed album, A Message From The Other Side, co-produced with James Ford. Since then, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons have travelled the world with their highly immersive live show, supported Roisin Murphy on tour and played at Glastonbury festival and Melt! amongst others.

The Fader labelled The Ancient Moons “a journey into techno’s dreamiest recesses” and the four piece have been continually shrouded in mystery. Last year Lazarus and his collection of musicians retreated into the Italian countryside and started work on new and self-produced material. The Ancient Moons brings together Zulu on vocals, Ben Chetwood on electronics, and Rob Gentry on keyboards. I Found You is the first fruits of their labour. Continuing a path first started by the band’s anthemic single Vermillion, I Found You is intensely soulful, warm and paired with anthemic vocals from singer Zulu. This the first of a string of tracks from the band in 2017.

Lazarus comments: “This is the first time I've created music in a band situation and I loved every moment of it. I decided to make the new music as a collective and the four of us have created magic. The energy that we enjoyed from beginning to end of this process was electric."

Champion of the South African electronic scene Black Coffee supplies the first remix, and takes I Found You to new dimensions. This is a rare remix outing from this pioneering South African DJ. Amsterdam based Patrice Bäumel is a former resident of the now legendary Trouw and has released on Get Physical, Systematic, Diynamic, Kompakt and My Favorite Robot among others. Patrice adds complexity and takes things deeper and more atmospheric. It’s quite the package.

Christian Smith has once again knocked it out the park with a killer second remix package for his “Input/Output” album released back in 2016.  This 4 track EP includes remixes from SHADED, Pig&Dan, Drunken Kong and techno pioneer and true legend of the industry –Laurent Garnier, no surprise after his support for the LP last year.

Another duo who are smashing the charts with every release are fellow Mallorca residents and long-time friends of Christian’s - Pig&Dan. The slamming kick laced up with that crisp percussion and those creeping dark synths come at you in full force for their take on “Subzero”.
