PREMIERE: CRYME - HOLD ON [CINTHIE REMIX]

At first it’s just vapor, light and fleeting. But beneath the surface lies power. Steam builds and expands, turning pressure into motion and motion into progress. Like a steam engine, it keeps pushing forward, steady and unstoppable.

We're back for November with an EP from South Africa's WAPO Jije! If you're unfamiliar with WAPO's work you can find his music released on some of the regions most prominent Deep House labels. We also just had him on remix duties this past July for DJ Christian Bs "Find My Way EP".

His new EP with us features 2 beautifully deep tracks, "How Deep Can You Go" and 'Grand Rising" that both feature lush pads, catchy melodies and those head nodding bass lines. We hope you enjoy this stellar EP from WAPO, and stay tuned next month for the remixes from Matt Masters and Radic The Myth!

Out exclusively on Traxsource Nov.21

Produced by: WAPO Jije
Mixed by: Danny Ward

WAPO Jije - How Deep Can You Go

Artist: Scan 7 
Title: The Resistance EP
Label: Tresor Records
Cat No: Tresor.255

Tracklisting:

A1. The Resistance
B1. Why Not?
B2. In & Out Of The Groove

Synonymous with Detroit, Techno, and Tresor, Scan 7 have remained protagonists of the Berlin-Detroit axis since it was first forged in the sweaty obsidian of the club’s original Wertheim vault home. Now, over 20 years later, the masked techno collective pay tribute to the triptych’s matted histories on ‘The Resistance EP’.

With identifiable nods to Scan 7’s Underground Resistance affiliations – the label that launched the group, and whose militaristic and political philosophies can be found littered throughout their discography – the EP begins with quintessential Detroit strings and groove before delving into darker techno territory. On the A-side, “The Resistance” offers an uplifting and delightfully nostalgic jaunt through dance music past, using all those favourite and immortal house tropes to deliver instant gratification. Meanwhile, the B-side shows off Scan 7 as masters of warm, yet shadowy techno – plus their trademark drum work – in the hypnotic “Why Not?” and driving, basement-ready “In & Out Of The Groove”. 

Alongside many outings on Tresor’s renowned compilation series, Scan 7 produced two albums for the label – ‘Dark Territory’ in 1996, followed up by ‘Resurfaced’ in 1999 – before leader TrackMasta Lou’s Cratesavers Muzik took over as the group’s primary recording outlet. ‘The Resistance EP’ is a welcomed return to Tresor from one of its stalwart artists, and paves the way for a retrospective compilation on 20 years of Scan 7, due out at the close of the year.

PREMIERE: Kosh - Endless Quest [eudemonia]

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS164

Prolific American artist Jon Hester returns to Rekids for the first instalment of his new album, ‘Converge’, this September.

Jon Hester grew up in the Midwest US, living in Chicago and Minneapolis while taking musical cues from Detroit. Initially he was a dancer, and later transitioned to the decks with a refined understanding of what it takes to move a club. He progressed to hosting his own events, holding residencies, and working at a record shop, and now brings his physical rhythms and adventurous drums to his productions, with output on respected labels such as Transmat, Deeply Rooted, Dystopian, Klockworks, and LET Recordings, not to mention multiple appearances on Rekids.

Continuing to show fine form on his debut album, Hester now serves up eight of his signature house and techno fusions with plenty of his trademark directness across four sides of vinyl. The superb 'Sending Signals' opens the album with scene-setting synth modulations full of sci-fi atmosphere. It's the calm before the storm as 'Metropolitan' then immediately sets off on a cantering groove that is eventually run through with busy, jazzy piano keys that bring the soul.

'Haze' has excellently taught kick drums with hypnotic synth tones adding colour, and features Hester on saxophone. When 'Rain' comes, things grow darker and more menacing, with shakers and urgent stabs keeping you moving at a slick pace.

The second half of this compelling record features the loopy punches and pulses of the super smooth 'Dreamstate', beautifully cosmic and widescreen techno of 'Free' and pensive but urgent deep electro of standout cut 'Flex.' Last of all, 'Equinox' is lit up with distant chords which bring a far-sighted gaze to the rolling, robust kicks.
