Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records imprint closes 2013 with a reflective compilation entitled ‘001-010’, as the name would suggest the compilation is a collective package looking back over the labels initial ten singles, with some exclusive content from Chandler himself, as well as a rework from Thefft and VIP remixes from Pedro 123 and Kashii to boot.

Since the launch of MadTech Records back in 2011, the label has blossomed into one of the leading names in contemporary House, Garage and Bass music. Having picked up support from the likes of Huxley, Eats Everything, Teed, Breach and Pete Tong along the way, it’s evidently clear that MadTech means business with its ever on-point A&R approach bringing to light the talents of so many newcomers and undeniable talents alike. Here MadTech Records delivers ‘001-010’, a glance at the back catalogue since its launch with some exclusive material and VIP Edits thrown into the mix as an added bonus.

First up from the exclusive material we have the ‘Thefft Remix’ of Ill Blu’s ‘Omar’, Jack Robertson aka Thefft, a budding young Brit producer turns in a gritty electronic interpretation of the original number. Cleverly restructuring the feel of the initial piece with swirling pad lines, dubby chords and classic rave stabs driving the melodic movement, while a penetrating, distorted tom-driven bass line and warbling subs add a dark and infectious edge to the rework.

Following is an exclusive ‘Dub’ version of label-head Kerri Chandler’s remix of ‘Blame It On The Youth’ by Voyeur, the mix was initially released as a full vocal mix on the labels sixth release, but Kerri turns in a more refined piano-led reshape here exclusively for this compilation and as expected from Chandler it’s a no nonsense house track designed for soul-stirring dance floor moments.

Then on offer are two more exclusive remixes delivered under the ‘VIP’ tag, meaning new versions knocked up for this compilation from the artists. Kashii reworks ‘Rome’ first, a track taken from his EP and the labels second single of the same name, this time Kashii opts for a more upfront, direct feel with to the mix in comparison to the lush, soulful feel of the original, bringing the raw stab sequence to the forefront with a subtle delay, while weighty 4/4 rhythms and intricate background automation cleverly builds a profound hidden depth to the composition. Then last but not least London producer Pedro 123 turns in his new take on his mix of Lakosa & iO’s ‘Home Early’, this time opting for a smoother approach, with fluttering Rhodes, nagging saw-wave bass, earth shattering subs, elongated delayed vocals and bumpy off-kilter drum programming.

‘001-010’ is out December 16th 2013.

PYE CORNER AUDIO/NOT WAVING Intercepts split LP

Release date: 28.07.14

'Protect The Revolution' taken from 'Intercepts', a split album between Pye Corner Audio and Not Waving. 

Taking inspiration from the world of espionage, most specifically spy rings, both artists provide four tracks each, creating a thrilling musical call and response between these kindred producers.

Some of the world’s greatest espionage stories involve Spy Rings. From the Rosenbergs to the Cambridge Five and the Duquesne case, these are stories that haunt the annals of the covert world and remain shrouded in mystery and fascination to this day.

Clandestine spirits permeate these eight tracks of dreamlike industrial techno, impressionist synth burbles, fragmented post-modern ambient and cosmic sci-fi adventure.

PCA tracks composed by Martin Jenkins. 
Recorded and produced  by The Head Technician at Black Mill with assistance from Martin Jenkins.

NW tracks written, produced and recorded by Alessio Natalizia in London 2013-2014.

Various Artists - Drum Attack EP (Lost dj weapons from the 1990s).

A1) Illumination - The Way Out Is The Way (1998)

AA1) Mr. Marvin - I Want You (1993)
AA2) Fuel - Rigid (1995)

Optimo Trax 011 is all about the drums.

This Illumination track (an Anglo-Norse pairing of Nicholas Stilltoe and Per ‘Mental Overdrive’ Martinsen) from 1998 has been a long time favourite of Twitch's that can instantly change the atmosphere in a club, sounds like very little else and is eminently mixable / great fun to mix with. It was only when the master arrived that the realisation came that for all these years he had been playing it at the wrong speed. It is meant to be slow but Twitch had always played it at 45 instead of 33. The vinyl version will be pressed so it can be played at either speed while the digital will be the sped up to the 45 version. It starts off soft and dubbed out until the almost overwhelming bass tones appear only to make way for apocalyptic drum cascades that on a good sound system sound like the end of the world. 


Mr. Marvin's "I Want You" came out on R&S offshoot Global Cuts in 1993. Made by Italian, Marvin Sasha who under the name Sasha made a great series of timeless EPs around the same time, this is a hypnotic tribal gem with seemingly random, panning vocal interjections. Great in the mix but much more than a mere mixing tool.

Lastly is Fuel's "Rigid" which came out on the UK label SCR in 1995 at the time when Chicago's Relief Records were taking over the more discerning djs' record boxes. This sounds like it shares some DNA with one of the many crazy tracks or remixes Green Velvet was making at this time; Industrial strength, stroboscopic snare tattoos that will have you reaching out for the smoke machine's "on" button every time.

All three have been tried and tested countless times since they were originally released and come with an Optimo Trax guarantee that if played in the right way, at the right point in the night they will not fail to work on the dancefloor.

Optimo Trax OT 011 is released on 12" and digital,  Jan 2015. Distribution by Kompakt and Rub A Dub. Mastered by James Savage.

Fell in love with "Hidden Bero" instantly. Lucky to have had the chance to do a remix, and see Oceanic delivering sublime interpretations of "Blablavism".

B Hidden Bero (Mattheis Remix)

I can still remember cycling our way home after a night pubbing with Sjoerd in the summer of 2013, right after we listened to LS together for the very first time. We knew this had to be the next Nous'klaer. Late 2014 I completed this record by finishing 1001.

Kindred Phenomena marks @Mattheis’ debut album. After two cosmic EPs on Nous’klaer and a mini-album on tape for Ecstatic Recordings, he now returns to Nous’klaer for his first full story. An album shaped for every occasion: driving from the city to the island, dancing in the living room, or raving at sunset.

On Kindred Phenomena Mattheis picks up where he left off: ‘Swell’ serves as another episode of the prisms, the modular synth excursion of ‘Bit Fragments’ pushes his arpeggiator solos a step further, and album standout ‘Ben_m’ provides his most beautiful dance of melodies yet. The album consists of eight tracks and comes as a double 12 inch for deejay convenience; and for the ultimate experience: go see Mattheis perform his album live on the road.

Mattheis - 5| Swell - Nous'klaer Audio LP 001

Abstraxion returns to his own Biologic Records to release this impressive revisited album - giving Tuff City Kids, Kasper Bjørke, Vessels, Clarian, Conforce, Mattheis, Ripperton, INIT, Eduardo De La Calle, Cleveland the freedom to have their own take on tracks from Abstraxion's 'She Thought She Would Last Forever' LP released in October 2016. Ripperton's first mark on Spazieren is one of meticulous sound design and textures complemented by a poignant vocal that provides a wicked ambience. His second offering is rapt around a warm bassline with orderly percussive stabs. Init's remix has been crafted with precision - an unhurried and mysterious track that builds and anticipates smoothly due to the precise instrumentation and adept reverb that's been applied on the vocal. Conforce closes out the EP with intent by delivering a dark, forceful and abstract take on Spazieren.

Spazieren (Mattheis Remix)

Releasing my debut album has been one of my most meaningful life-experiences, and apart from the times playing my livesets, I seem to never have found a right moment to share it personally with the world. Today it has been exactly one year since the release-date, so this should be a good moment.

Applescal - Under A Clouded Sky

with RV8, the osaka-based producer and musician AOKI takamasa continues his long- term project that focuses on the modulation of rhythms and grooves. it began with his first ep ‚rhythm variations‘ in 2009, released as part three of the unun-series. besides his collaboration with raster-noton, he released records on several labels like commmons, progressive form and op.disc, produced remixes for well-known musicians like ryuichi sakamoto or yoshihiro hanno and played performances at, for example, elektra/montreal and club transmediale/ berlin, all in all making him a renowned producer in japan and beyond.

starting with a firework of bleeps and bops, already the very first minutes of his new record reveal aoki‘s preference for vibrating beats and likewise his playful approach to music, generating a sound that is aiming at the dance floor.

like the first ones, almost all tracks of the record are characterized by a constant modulation of chords and lines that sometimes appears somehow hyperactive, but nevertheless results in a natural flow that perfectly reflects AOKI‘s laid-back attitude combined with his will to produce danceable and funky music.

the fluent arrangement is only interrupted by the third track which forms a caesura by being more reduced and slower. in contrast to this, the following tracks present a faster tempo and an increased intensity; and whereas the first tracks reflect downbeat and r‘n‘b influences due to their broken beats and chunky sound, the later songs are characterized by a more sleek and technoid style, incorporating dribbling basses, clappy sounding snares and modulated voice snippets.

although all of the musical components are constantly broken down, modulated, and rearranged, the overall sound of the record is dense and compact, featuring a groove made up of numerous elements that are complexly intertwined. the eight tracks of the record fit seamlessly together and create a composition that nearly functions like a dj set.

the album was mastered by yoshinori sunahara. needless to say that RV8 will be released as cd and lp.
