Back from the wilderness. Synth in one hand, long-range camera in the other, techno’s most enduring naturist Eulberg returns to Stephan Bodzin’s Herzblut.

‘Mimikry & Mimese’ is every fathom as deep as you’d hope it to be… Both sonically, conceptually and how they draw their influence. 

‚Mimikry’ is classic Eulberg; several tales bound together into one immersive narrative where melodic phrases that at first appear disparate, gradually correlate with each other by way of delicately placed rhythmic elements and FX. With spiked melodic hooks, the elements display signs of danger, but the heart and soul – like all Eulberg tracks - is warm and friendly.

‘Mimese’ takes a similar twist to ‘Mimikry’ in that the melodic arrangement is based on distinct themes that gradually align, morph and complement each other. Deftly developed over a looser drum arrangement with much denser cosmic pads, its yet another unique story told in Eulberg’s inimitable way. 

Two whirling immersive narratives, two camouflage concepts that reveal, upon closer inspection, that all is not what it seems. Eulberg’s adventures into the wilderness continue…

Mimese

After his successful second album, Revelación, Bufi and Discotexas deliver us their first volume of remixes, loaded with energy, thanks to a well chosen team of star remixers. The package starts with a steady take on “Apocalipstick” by Valencian producer AFFKT, head of Sincopat Recordings, that takes us into a synth psychedelia journey with an epic middle break, just before the climax. Right after that the beat goes solemn, with a thoughtful organ driven mix by Mexican duo Zombies In Miami, filled with laser like percussions, spacey synths and sensually treated vocals, transforming “New Ground” into a oracular esoteric gem. Another Mexican, Max Jones, keeps the groove reflective, exploring the nostalgia of the original “Interlude” synths, chopping the acid lead and adding a “conservative” afro minimal beat. The batch ends with a solid mix by french producer Damon Jee, delivering a severely rigorous steady bassline alternated with confident and faithful uplifting synths; one of the highlights of the original track, “Peaks”.

Italo-cosmonauts Marvin & Guy board Life and Death with Superior Conjunction. 
 
Alessandro Parlatore and Marcello Giordani’s four-tracker explores parallel worlds through expert synthesizer sequencing and cavernous vocal features. Celestial melodies paired with Athena’s stream of consciousness Italian recital guarantees Superior Conjunction’s dance floor devastation. 
 
Arpadia’s hypnotic theme compliments the title track’s restrained drama, while the Fantastic Twins’ spoken-word elevates The Train of Fantastic to an altered state of being. 
 
The EP is out on June 16th, right on time for this year’s Life and Death OFF Sonar event in Barcelona.

Something special: Frenchman Sebastien Bouchet is launching his brand-new Sebastopol project. New name, same deliciously deviant electronica: his debut is compiled with serious detail and a cool coherency of humanised textures, trippiness and barbed, shadowy soul. 

‘Assassin’ shoots to kill with its pranged-out toplines, gloriously wonked-out bass hooked and slurred vocal elements while 
‘Manethon’ trips out on a broken note and melts into one of Sebastien’s most magically far-out breakdowns to date.

Margot - Amore a Bordo Pista

Release Date: December 1st, 2017
Label: Life and Death
Format: Vinyl / Digital
Cat #: LAD036

Contemporary Italo-Disco and foggy rave culture mark Margot’s first 12” on Life and Death, a welcomed surprise. Drawing on nearly two decades of production expertise, Amore a Bordo Pista recalls the Riccione duo’s sparking remix of Daphni, math-house Holger moment and now-classic Border Community offering. 

Machines breathe on A1, where throbbing synth-bass meets timeless vocoder, as premiered on DJ Tennis’ Essential Mix debut. The afterparty and warehouse meld on the flip, a mind-bending time-warp - somewhere between panic and introspection. 

Technicolour signee, Dauwd, aces his re-depicton of the title track, hinting at golden-era Chain Reaction, while Kiwi slows down Salsce, retaining all of its drive, adding further cosmic brushstrokes. 

Four weapons of the mind, just in time for Life and Death’s annual Art Basel showcase, a trippy affair.

Guy J makes a much anticipated return to Sudbeat for the first time sinks his 2009 "Pleasurety" ep. The Bedrock artist is one of the most consistent and productive artists of today and 2011 was yet another bumper year for the Israeli. At the close of the year we were treated to "Meridian" his co-production with Henry Saiz on Bedrock, his remix of Sian's "Sacred Geography" on Octopus and his stunning "Soul Of Arp" release on Funk D'Void's Outpost Recordings.   Having already kicked of 2012 with a bumper remix package for Bedrock, we find Guy already in blistering form. His latest double-header for Sudbeat kicks off with "High," a powerful techie uplifting number that grooves throughout and, whilst it does tempt us with a 'take off', the track teasingly never peaks. Cocoon artist Marc Marzenit however, shoots us into the stratosphere. Building the intensity throughout his mix, its powerful drums and dramatic melody create an arena rocking moment.   Guy's second original "Pathos" is a wonderfully warm and atmospheric number. Sweeping strings and staccato melody give a warm and euphoric feeling. Bringing a similar feeling with his warping baseline and dreamy melody is Sudbeat artist Luis Junior.   Enjoy!

Following on from the Moment in the Dark EP featuring remixes from Adam Port, Satori and Tibi Dabo, Damian Lazarus celebrates the tenth anniversary of his acclaimed debut album Smoke the Monster Out, with the release of a remastered and expanded edition on his own label Crosstown Rebels.

A decade ago I released my debut solo album on the label Get physical. It was the first time I’d let myself loose in the studio and what came out was a psychedelic collection of extremely strange and bizarre songs. I wanted to make an album full of my inspirations and influences, for exotic after parties, and with no consideration about necessarily getting played in the clubs. It divided opinion at the time and seemed to defy easy categorisation. My own sonic curveball. Here we are ten years on. I’m pleased to report that ‘Smoke The Monster Out’ is still as weird as it ever was. Still genre proof. Still an ‘album’ in an era of tracks and playlists. Now forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels, remastered and with three bonus tracks from the original studio sessions, it’s ready to confuse everyone all over again!

Smoke The Monster Out, originally released in 2009, was the first time Damian had written and produced his own music. Known across the globe for founding the Crosstown Rebels label, his captivating DJ sets and divergent Lazpod podcast series, his debut album is an emotional and humorous expression of his genre-defying imagination.

Following ongoing experimentation with lyric writing and production, Damian invited Arthur Jeffes (son of the Penguin Café Orchestra’s Simon Jeffes), Classic records head honcho Luke Solomon and Mark Ralph (then a member of Filthy Dukes and now a world renowned producer for the likes of Clean Bandit, Years & Years, and Jax Jones) into the studio with him. The result was a unique blend of music that represents Lazarus’ personality and vast experience of the dark and light moments that are captured on the dancefloor. The Guardian went as far as describing the album in 2009 as: “Less troubled and deep than Björk's Debut, it still captures the atmosphere of late-night clubland – the transcendent freedom, the fuzzy unreality, the implicit emptiness, the dysfunction – with a similar potent accuracy. That it does so by fusing Ricardo Villalobos and Robert Wyatt, and slipping in a Scott Walker cover, might explain why it is not being hailed as one of the crossover albums of the year. But it is."

Ten years on the album that draws on inspiration from: techno and house, rock and pop and drum and bass, still remains as challenging and exciting as it was upon its initial release and will capture the attention of both new and old fans alike.

Everything about Smoke The Monster Out feels idiosyncratic, direct and carefully thought-out: both the artwork and the title (which references Alice in Wonderland) evoke Lazarus’s interest in the loss and the return of innocence, the imagery of fairytale fables, and the battle to control and satisfy the emotions without losing sight of humour. Lazarus has a vision, and isn’t afraid to realize it. He continues to live this vision through the music released on his label, the groundbreaking festival he curates Day Zero and the story that unfolds during his DJ sets to audiences around the world every week.

Crosstown Rebels welcome Tochno Techno label owner Yulia Niko to release her first full EP, Paradise, a captivating three track EP featuring jazz bossanova vocalist Sil Romero and Italian talent Cioz on remix duty. 

Opening track Caminando encapsulates Yulia’s inspiration from walking on the White Isle of Ibiza where she spent the last year living. The hypnotising deep house melody of swirly synth pads and Sil Romero’s beautiful dreamy vocals wash over skipping percussion in an emotive composition. Cioz puts his own melodic stamp on the remix, creating a progressive club piece with bright keys over a reshaped bass line.  Paradise continues the warm, ethereal atmosphere of the EP, bongos dance on hats as lush, relaxing tones fade in and out. 

Russian-born DJ, producer and label owner, Yulia Niko learned her trade in the clubs of her hometown before moving to the US to work as a resident DJ at Verboten, Brooklyn and Heart in Miami. Now touring the world, she is based in Berlin and runs a vinyl only label, Tochno Techno. She has also released on other esteemed labels such as Get Physical Music, Nervous, Heisenberg, Natura Viva and Dee-P-erfect.

Silicone Soul have lined up a succession of exciting releases to mark ten years since their subterranean parallel project and label, Darkroom Dubs first unleashed its uniquely idiosyncratic take on house music.

Having caused supersonic ripples throughout the underground dance community since his debut release on Darkroom Dubs first hit the shelves in 2007, Evgeny Bukreev (AKA Freska) is about to drop his long-awaited debut album.

"Wrong Songs" more than lives up to the promise of the singles and EPs which preceded it, uncurling in a heady blend of booming electronic funk, startling sonic weaving with innate sense of melody, swirlingly spectral in the dense aural meteor showers of vocal shards and sublimely orchestrated mutations of disparate musical ingredients.

Now relocated to Moscow, the Murmansk born producer has mentioned being influenced by Kraftwerk, Black Sabbath and the music of his native Russia, but anything from the percussive attack of early acid house and Detroit techno also pitch in to what he astutely describes as `rhythm and soul'. Appearing also on labels such as Stil Vor Talent, Karate Musik, Manual, Azuli, Lo and Traum Schallplaten [for whom he was asked to remix Minilogue, and didn`t disappoint].

The album blends versions of singles released on Silicone Soul's decade spanning, future-pointing electronic vision Darkroom Dubs, including the buzzed-up judder of "North And South" and sexed-up robo-funk of "Slow Cold Slow" [plus symphonic jazz-tinged flip "Honey from Within" with a flotilla of new outings, including the heaving bass-monster of "Breathing In", booming rattlesnake hump of "Lo Lo Love" and the ghostly "Doves On My Window". Then there's the panting "Ink In", rinky-dink organ carnage of "Some Turns Inside" and weird chorale-draped "Stoned Bytes" ending in the vocal-layered finale "The Kathedral" hinting to another exciting new direction.

Last year Freska also remixed Silicone Soul's "David Vincent's Blues", as part of their esteemed Soma 20 Remix collection. One listen to this astonishing debut album leaves no doubt that these twin career peaks are only the beginning for the man from Murmansk.
