Invert Drift

Tief Music mainstays Sisterhood release their second EP for the label following up their hugely successful 'Call Me Ishmael' released back in 2013. Tunnels features three original tracks showing the London based duo's versatility and maturity as producers. The EP kicks off with 'Doublespeak', a hard-hitting peak time track, filled with arpeggiated synths and dubbed out FX. 'Tunnels' is deep and sparse, slowly building throughout its 7 minute run. Bicep reconstruct the title track, morphing it into a punchy, bassline focused roller with piercing atmospheric pads. 'Believe' closes the EP, a dreamy, sample based track utilizing beautiful floating chords to great effect.

Jonas Saalbach + Tony Casanova - Pharao (Stefan Z Remix) - Click Recordings

‘Resilience’ draws its infectious dancefloor power from a groove-driven amalgamation of jarring, artfully intertwined sounds. Gespona and Martín Cozar cast classic house chord chops, a captivatingly choppy MC hook, and funky acoustic basslines into a pulsating and sexy framework – dynamic, driving, and irresistibly danceable.

Upercent makes his debut on Frau Blau with 'Mongolics EP'.

Sonic experimentalist Upercent has made quite a name for himself in the last few years.
Bursting onto the scene over a decade ago, his singular vision and avant-garde style have won him plaudits from across the musical spectrum. Signed to an impressive number of high profile labels including Innervisions, Watergate, Kompakt and more. Upercent continues to delight.

Opening with the rollicking disco of title track 'Mongolics' industrial drums and metallic percussion are the perfect milieu for the sinister male vocals that drive the track, with squelchy keys hooking you in midway.

On the remix duties, Sam Shure takes a leaf out of 2ManyDJs book and dubs us out with his 'Drum Treat' — Finishing the pack off, another original, 'Begine' Tough 808 kicks and scattergun percussion framework some wonky computer sounds and repeating arps.

Totally wacky and infectiously fun. A Tour de Force!

Justin Marchacos // Megalithic Structures LP - Out Now on Endangered

Tracklist:
1.	The Traveller
2.	Invasion 
3.	Megalithic Structures (w/ @midas104) 
4.	Pas de Chance 
5.	Noose 
6.	Pursuit

Justin Marchacos returns to Brian Cid’s Endangered label with Megalithic Structures; a 6 track LP of powerful melodic techno & progressive house, which includes a collaboration with Berlin’s Midas 104.

Based in NYC, and a core artist of Endangered, Justin Marchacos has been steadily growing his profile since his first release on the imprint in 2018. As the follow up to his most recent EP on the legendary Cocoon label last year, this package of all originals is his largest artistic output to date, and a bold expression of his current musical direction.

“The Traveller” starts it off, and his background as a film composer is on full display with an extended orchestral intro. When the beat kicks in, high energy is shown right from this first track and the tone is set. “Invasion” follows and contains a heavy groove, stripped back production, and chopped up vocal samples that all create a fantastic swing. The title track “Megalithic Structures” is next up, and is the collaboration with Midas 104. Justin’s style, combined with Midas 104’s signature melancholic deep house and dreamy synths, creates a perspective of the sound of the future while at the same time referencing empires of old. “Pas de Chance” follows, and is the most driving track of the album and the apex of this plot. “Noose” signals a change in direction towards a more progressive sound, and “Pursuit” is the closer with full emotions released to end this chapter.

Justin describes the project: ““Feeling completely blessed to have the opportunity at this moment in my life to share some of the most powerful stories I’ve written... stories which bring strong, raw emotions to the listener. I wrote these in my own language... a language that is a reflection of my personality, but can be understood by anyone in the world. This is the beauty of music. I want my listeners to experience strange and unusual emotions...not just simple happiness and sadness, but feelings of gritty confidence, power mixed with bliss, wonder mixed with driving momentum, and pure joy. This collection of tracks has been years in the making, but firmly reflects my current aesthetic and the direction I’ve been moving as an artist. These tracks all have a very strong, personal meaning to me... and I could not be more excited to finally share them with the world.”

Justin Marchacos’ Megalithic Structures is released on Endangered Records, June 26th, 2020.

Justin Marchacos  - Pursuit [Endangered]

This is "Suddenly Silence".
Produced right after the start of the pandemic in March. Probably the nastiest track I've ever done in my life (for a reason).
I don't think I could ever top the tension level of this one. It's really like that. Tracks speak of memories. And this one is pure rage.

"It starts slowly, it speeds up a little. It comes to the point that it first scratches your heart and then the stomach. And then goes up, and up, and up, and up, and up. And you want more of it, more and again more, to the point that, you know, it will never be enough."
