Following on from their Record Store Day ‘Looped EP’ release, which featured remixes by Dauwd and Lubomyr Melnyk, Kiasmos – made up of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen – return with three new tracks and a remix by Tale Of Us.

Recorded in various locations including Reykjavík and Berlin, the EP opens with ‘Drawn’, a four-minute percussion fuelled track with gentle piano motifs. ‘Gaunt’ features the addition of ambient synths and a drum loop, underpinned by slow-moving chords. Title track ‘Swept’ which the duo offered to fans as a surprise gift in form of a free download card at previous show dates, showcases a more club-oriented beat structure alongside Kiasmos’ signature emotive instrumentation. 
 
Closing the EP is a remix from Berlin-based duo Tale of Us who met Kiasmos in London and twist the original downbeat title track
into their distinctively dark aesthetic. Pulsating hats and a driving bass loop add pace as the track builds toward an epic breakdown.

The ‘Swept EP’ will be released on 12”/DL via Erased Tapes on November 20th, 2015.

The debut release from the Dama Dama label comes from co-founder Pedestrian in the shape of "Circadian Rhythms” - a 4 track concept EP. Each track represents a different time of day throughout the 24 hour cycle, with the 12” divided into a “Day Side” and a “Night Side”.

The day begins with “Simple Minded At Dawn”, a sleepy, beat-less meditation constructed of heavily processed electric pianos and cellos, and then moves onto the hazy summer’s afternoon cut of “Deep In Daylight”. Flip it over and day turns into night where things start to get a little deeper and darker with “Torn Blue”, a peak time dance floor number which steadily builds in intensity and crescendos into “JNT". A 4am 2-step roller, the EP’s closing number is a collaboration with label co-founders Maribou State which works its way into a climax of looping African vocals, synths and strings before breaking into a blissful wind down where “Simple Minded At Dawn” starts fading back in, emphasising the cyclical nature of night turning into day and prompting the listener to flip it once again and repeat the process.

French citizen Olivier Mateu stands for sophisticated and musical techno music, released on imprints like F Com, Mobilee and Systematic. His productions always have a certain 'something' which a many producers cannot deliver, fuelled by passion and love.

'Mistral' was originally released on the '10 yrs of Systematic' compilation on CD only, but after a massive public demand it was clear that it must be released on vinyl and backed by new remixes.

Who else could we chose but the labels most popular artists, label head Marc Romboy and Stephan Bodzin. Reworking the original in their own unique way, both deliver epic, energetic and symphonic versions!!!

Olivier Mateu (Rodriguez Jr.) will be the first to admit it; he’s never satisfied. From his time as a mathematics student in his nascent rave days in the French city of Montepellier, to the itchy musical feet that would only grow as the years progressed, and his time as one-half of influential live act The Youngsters on Laurent Garnier’s FComs label, he’s always striven to push himself to the next level – both creatively and technically.

With each release, you can simultaneously get the sense of an exquisitely talented artists who is grafting to get the most out of himself and his machines, while being astonished at the creativity and intricate sound design of his work to create stirring dancefloor-ready compositions that sound just as good a club or festival, as they do through a pair of headphones during a home listening session.

The generous four-track work is lead by title track ‘Petropolis’ - a master study in tension and release, the stripped back techno beats, summon the kind of sweat-dripping off-the-walls transcendental rave experience that’ll have you grinning for days afterwards. ‘Capitelle’, is vintage Rodriguez Jr., uplifting and melancholic in equal doses and is propelled by a muscular, compression-heavy bassline that builds towards a sublimely trippy crescendo.

Always one to technically stretch himself, ‘Sulfuric State’ sees the savvy sound technician utilize his beloved 303 not for a distorted, full throttle acid onslaught, but rather something far gentler; a mesmerizing and emotive nine-minute trip through time and space. The first sneak peek from the Frenchmen’s upcoming album, ‘Cily’ sees the tempo drop into dreamy ‘90s house territory, with subtle references to the classic French touch sound, but re-imagined in Rodriguez Jr.'s own fresh original way.

Release date:
11 March 2016

Folding Time is the second full length album from Machinedrum and Braille aka Sepalcure's for Scuba's Hotflush imprint. Fusions of footwork, dub, broken beat and futuristic pop all lay in wait, effortlessly fused together by intricate percussion and perfectly placed melodies.

The album, is comprised of a selection of brand new tracks and selection of revived tracks that have been brought out from the studio vaults. “Folding Time was an exercise in connecting the dots between our past and the present, ” the pair tell i-D, “it felt like we were connecting the present with the past. Going through each session was like digging through old memories.”

‘Deliverance’ is the lead single from Ry X’s eagerly anticipated debut album, just been released on Infectious Music, that has already gained world wide acclaim by fans and media alike. 

He’s always sung his way into our hearts, no matter whether he did it as ‘Ry X’, ‘The Acid’ or ‘The Howling’ together with  me’s Frank Wiedemann. As such it comes as no surprise that Innervisions’ artist and lover of beautiful melancholic melodies, Eagles & Butterflies, was mesmerised by the album at first listen and moved to create his own mix. 

LA based producer Chris Barratt, aka Eagles & Butterflies, is as busy touring as in the studio. Releasing original music on Innervisions, Exit Strategy, Get Physical and Bedrock over the last months, as well recently finishing remixes for Moby, Underworld, Andhim and now Ry X.

RY X - Deliverance (Eagles & Butterflies Remix)

As part of our ongoing Aus Music Debut series, we’re thrilled to present “Decompression Suite” – a riveting piece from longstanding Aus Music comrade Harry Aguis (aka Midland). A name that needs little introduction, Midland is known for propelling varied, interesting sounds out into the electronic music field; and has helped fuel the V12 engine that is Aus Music with releases such as “What We Know” and “Reflex”.

Still revelling in last summer’s glory of “Blush“, Midland’s newest track serves as a medley of musical layers. Heavily textural, echoes of panning high-hat hits lay amidst quivering bass tones to provide the foundations of the piece, which is then uplifted by ethereal sweeping synths. The track reaches new heights with the injection of a gripping bass line. All develop and manifest into a truly immersive whole, which slowly evaporates as gradually and neatly as its initial growth.

Sit back and sink in to Midland’s “Decompression Suite” – out July 8th on the Aus100 compilation. Check out http://ausmusic.co.uk/100/ for the pre-order, where they’re giving away 11 definitive Aus Music tracks with every Aus100 LP order.

Futureboogie release PBR Streetgang’s ’12.32’ on 4th July, and the two-tracker is backed with a deliriously good remix by London-born producer Fort Romeau.

The rework takes the original version’s swirling acid licks, gnarly basslines and pumping drums and, whilst keeping the pace and mood pumping, remodels the melody, sending things on a deeper, more cosmically energised trip.

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Fort Romeau’s remix of ‘12.32’ by PBR Streetgang above.
