Aretha Franklin A Deeper Love (Samson remix)

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/change_this_pain_for_ecstasy_digital_single

The formidable Rex The Dog returns with his first single for Kompakt in three years, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy”, a slow-burning disco-glitter stomp that’s charged with analogue energy. Pushing his self-built modular hardware set-up to its limits, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy” is taut and thrilling, stripped-back and pulsating, with sweeping chords shimmering through a classic Moroder arpeggio, as a delirious voice sings out a psychedelic raver’s plaint for liberation, pleading for you to "take away my sorrow and this pain”. Deeply emotional, it’s also a masterwork in tension and release, dizzy with snare-rush peaks, and dark, humid valleys where Rex is bound to the patchbay.

On the flipside, Rex gives us “Moto”, which tickles your ear with cymatic phenomena, its gentle vibrations building, beautifully, into a monster-piece of stealth techno. Rex’s DIY synths work overtime as he chases patterns and phases through circuitry, wilding the tones until they erupt into a spray of pointillist pizzicato. The sounds here crackle and corrode, the textures so tantalising, so sensual, you can almost grab hold of them with your hands. It’s great to have Rex The Dog back, making livewire, yet deeply human techno, alive and bursting with electricity.

EXTENDED MIX

Ibiza

From the high tops of Switzerland The Round Table Knights have been making plenty of noise. The "Roundies" are well known for throwing parties all over Switzerland and inviting guests from all different walks of life. They have hosted and played alongside the likes of Beastie Boys, Holy Ghost!, Spank Rock, Justice as well as Simian Mobile Disco, Soulwax, M.I.A, Crookers just to name a few. 

      With the signature sound of the sweet steel drum on their latest signing to Jesse Rose’s Uber cool label Made To Play, it's no wonder these noblemen have an avalanche of support from music moguls such as Brodinski, Digitalism, Diplo and BBC Radio 1 announcer Annie Mac. 

      This 2 track Ep includes self titled track 'Calypso' & 'Drop The Dow' which encapsulates all that is cool on main room floors right now. With infectious grooves and quirky top lines these 2 cheeky gems are bound to stick around the front of CD wallets for while.

Hi Guys,

Hope that you enjoy this first ever mix that I recorded on vinyl and recorded to a minidisc, which got me noticed by Tidy Trax back in 2001, and onto the label, giving me some of the best DJing memories of my career.

I love you guys so much for your continued support;  you all mean the world to me :)
