London-based artist ABSOLUTE. presents the KDA dub of his  debut single ‘Fairground’. [https://soundcloud.com/kda-music] 

The track was born out of sessions at London’s iconic Fortress Studios, also home to Jamie xx, Paranoid London and Bicep. 

Elusive London DJ and producer KDA demanded to remix ‘Fairground’ on first listen, stepping up to deliver a pneumatic dub version that loses none of the original’s dark ambiance. It follows KDA’s own debut single ‘Rumble’ last year, which ultimately topped the UK singles chart with a reworked version featuring Katy B and Tinie Tempah.

Fairground (KDA Dub)

Shur-I-Kan & Dave Storm - Losing You


It'd be no surprise if this one's heard copious amounts throughout the Ibiza season, especially with HS82 having a residency at Pacha. Full-on from the off - powered by rattles and bellowing drum kicks - it quickly descends into rolling chaos, the type that's more or less guaranteed to do some damage on White Isle dancefloors.

Premiere: Krankbrother 'Circular Thing' (Hot Since 82 remix)

Next up from Blossom Kollektiv we present a two track digital only release of newcomer Leo Wölfel. The young Innsbruck based producer might be the new kid on the block but his production skills are already top notch. Releasing his first EP last October on Let’s Play House, he now presents his latest EP titled “Into The Mild.”

Starting things with Into the Mild he takes the listener directly on a tour of house with a solid kick and lush pads that move through the speakers like floating on air. Then a deep bassline and lush synths move us through our land of imagination and takes us to a place that is unlike any we’ve seen before with ease and class.

After returning from our beautiful exploration of our last adventure we softly land into Fallser Flurry. Keeping the same deep mentality from before we are now whisked off to a new happy land with feel good piano stabs and jumping percussion that adds another dimension to the sound and keeps it all moving forward while taking the listener off into the far reaches of space.

Home feat. Aurora (Lane 8 Remix)

Buy/Stream: https://Anjunadeep.lnk.to/FromWithinEP
Release Date: 22nd April 2016

Berlin’s Ryan Davis has carved out a niche all of his own over the past 10 years, releasing exquisite melodic techno and electronica on revered labels Bedrock, Traum, and his own Klangwelt label. Along the way he’s been championed by Sasha, Stephan Bodzin, Hernan Cattaneo and John Digweed, and collaborated with Max Cooper and Applescal. The ‘From Within EP’ marks his first original release on Anjunadeep following memorable remixes of Andrew Bayer and Olafur Arnalds.

The cinematic ‘Paper Rockets’ begins the EP in subtle fashion, showcasing Ryan’s talent for intricate production and mellow moods. ‘Brun’ a stand-out from last year’s ‘Anjunadeep 07’ compilation has the hallmarks of an Anjunadeep classic, combining club-ready sounds with emotional melodies that tug at the heart-strings.

‘Crawne’ takes things deeper and darker, blending a chugging slo-mo groove with spacey atmospherics. Ryan takes things full techno on ‘Undine’ a peak-time cut laced with dystopian soundscape and driving drums. We return to cinematic ambience on EP closer ‘Beyar’, a stunning slice of deft melodies and vivid celestial samples.
