A simple edit i did of the Lone track for my own use....

Lone - Airglow Fires (DJ's Edit)

Scope Recordings closes 2013 with a staple release by label head Andrei Morant.  His single Falling Down is nothing short of black tie techno:  timeless and ingeniously simple.

The title track begins with a straightforward introduction that unexpectedly veers into a chromatic descent.  A sturdy bassline guides harmonizing stabs that tiptoe out of sight and back again.  Falling Down is effectual vintage.  

The B-side, Companion, has keys echoing off one another while castanets, claps, and ghostly conversation season an unwavering low end.  The track is inherently versatile and can lend an edge to a deeper set, or add complexity to a basic foundation. Due out mid-december


ANDREI MORANT FALLING DOWN SOUNDCLOUD PREVIEW

Sam’s EP boot’s off with ‘Chocolate’, a track that builds and builds using detuned synths, stabs and funky drums to make any dance floor erupt. ‘Domino’ is a track that’s bassline drones underneath its own distinctive synth line to keep the drums rolling along steadily. The title track ‘Black Leather’ is everything you would expect in a Drumcode record; a subtle throbbing bass line which, keeps the track moving before the synth stabs enrapture the track and twist it into a dark, throbbing composition. The final track ‘Daegon’ uses dubbed out drums to incorporate a synth melody line that will blow your socks off and rounds off this well shaped EP.

Pan-Pot "The Mirror"

There’s always time enough to welcome new figures on Analytic Trail collection. Label boss
Markantonio is proud to present Timmo, a Bulgarian DJ/Producer already known on Neapolitan ground
for his track “Primitive” released in the fabulous summer compilation “Expression A1”, mixed by
Markantonio himself for the same Analytic Trail Rec. He is also recognized as one of the best
Bulgarian reality in this moment for Techno music and he is landed under Vesuvio with an own
package of three original tracks.
“Bermuda” is the first one that is a classic fast Techno train influenced by a straight kick and deeper
sound elements as snare tricks and background noises.
“Surma” even more funky than the other previous tracks, it’s a sort of Techno bouncing tune made by
techy synths and drum tricks dropping the listener in chemical paranoid vortex.
“Patos” is the last one and is a bit different, you can feel a rawest effect by the drum session and the
huge sub bass loading a powerful energy to the track, that seems to be really dark and heavy Techno.
Another superlative project for Analytic Trail that is always ready to play well for the benefit of the
followers.

Saved release their 100th EP with a superb collection of tracks including my remix of Gary Beck's 'Say What'. 

Released on the 10th March.

Gary Beck - Say What (Adam Beyer Remix) - SAVED100

Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg come together to create a new track after the success of the highly acclaimed 'Lovecraft'. ‘Unanswered Question’ uses a weighty kick drum and a sensuous vocal before the track breaks into some groovy synth stabs. Julian Jeweil’s remix of ‘Unanswered Question’ is a late night dubbed out version that compromises of a groove that pulsates throughout and falls into the original synth stabs before rising back into the funky, dubbed out groove. The Dense & Pika remix uses unusual percussion to produce a chunky groovy rhythm. When the track breaks it takes the listener on an eerie journey before it kicks back in to the chunky drum beat. The final track ‘Virga’ is a more melodic techno offering that finishes the single off with a classy finish.

Soma’s 100th album release is a huge milestone for the label and reiterates how influential the Glasgow brand has been in defining the musical landscape for two decades. 

There is no better way to celebrate both the impact and influence of the label than by showcasing one of Glasgow’s most successful Techno exports. Gary Beck embodies the continued innovation of Soma, having worked in close collaboration with the label from his 2009 debut onwards. In the years since his first release Gary Beck has become a global Techno sensation performing at every major venue and starting his own successful label, Bek Audio, which has seen his tracks selling out at an incredible rate. This album highlights just why Gary Beck has reached such a pinnacle and again shows that his collaborations with Soma are always incendiary. Throughout the album every track is perfectly balanced and totally unique creating a sonic journey from the first bar to the last. 

The epic scale of the album is reflected in the first track ‘I Read About You’ which seems to expand and develop constantly bringing in ambience, intricate drum patterns and ethereal synths which create a spiritual and expansive quality. 

The opener is punctuated brilliantly by the sharp and deep style of Algoreal, which winds the tension up again and takes the music in another new direction. 

Beck’s mastery of integrating various original musical themes is a signature of this record and the development of sounds is striking. A clear example of this is in how well spaced and electro elements are crafted on ‘D51’ to create an exciting sense of anticipation and a powerfully organic feel. This means that there is a chance to create tracks which feel like whole ensemble pieces rather than an exercise in strict, clinical production. 

Throughout there is a strong sense of musicianship, but this is balanced well with the engrossing physicality of tracks. ‘Unaware’ for example has heavy bass, beats and all manner of carefully developed production elements which create an almost disorientating sense of power. 

Certain tracks follow different musical routes and the scope of this is kept in check with regard to the whole album by tracks like ‘Hopkin’ which tie these different elements together as part of a complete work. The tracks have such varied rhythm patterns and production which are often understated but always effective. 

Little moon is a perfect interlude with bright and beautiful sounds which although being the shortest track on the album creates its own detailed atmosphere and imagery, a transcendent moment on the album. 

The progression of the Samba-influenced beats and resonant drums of ‘Operation’ is another great example of the strength and complexity of this album, creating a whole new soundscape and another avenue for exploration. This is a shattering end to the album and brings everything to a close in a fashion which is absolutely fitting for such a great album. Album number 100 is certainly worthy of its place in Soma history and the achievement in creating this piece of music matches the great achievements of Soma in getting to this landmark.
