DKMNTL031 // Robert Hood - Paradygm Shift Volume 1
a. Robert Hood - Form
b. Robert Hood - Lockers

http://shop.dekmantel.com/release/5143/paradygm-shift-volume-1

Dekmantel is thrilled to announce an exciting new project by the impeccable Robert Hood. Over the course of three EPs and one album, the Detroit legend presents Paradygm Shift. The first EP is scheduled for the 22th of February. Hood: ‘‘The idea behind Paradygm Shift is similar to a shift in our focus. We can become so complacent; we are so comfortable with our surroundings, I think this is the time for electronic music to find a new mindset.’’

Hood is thrilled about his new adventure on the Dekmantel label: ‘‘I’m glad to partner up with them on this project. I have a very good relationship with Dekmantel. I remember the first time I met them, how laidback these guys were. I performed in this illegal bunker, a dj-set, and the atmosphere was just amazing, awesome and open-minded. It seems like a natural progression to collaborate on this project now. We share a mutual responsibility not to let fall things just in place, but to make things happen. Dekmantel is about making things happen, and so like minds think alike.’’    

Inspiration for Paradygm Shift came from a shift in Hood’s own focus. ‘‘I have been busy with my Floorplan alias and reintroducing Monobox over the years, but at the same time I felt it necessary to reiterate Robert Hood as an electronic music artist who is bringing minimalism back in the forefront, and not to get lost in the melody. I want to get back to the simple repetitive programming that I’m known for, and to me it was returning to that, but shifting the listeners’ focus and not staying on this plane like we are used to.” 

This approach clearly manifests on Paradygm Shift Volume 1, the first EP that kicks of the series with great anticipation. Two tracks that have ‘Rob Hood’ written all over it: minimalistic beasts, bursting from energy and meticulously crafted by the hand of a master producer. ‘Form’ slowly but surely creeps upon you, a slow starter, but in the end the techno funk-finesse will roar like a Detroit car engine. ‘Lockers’ follows a slightly more melodic path, keeping the momentum by delivering body shaking, pulsating techno, deep and timeless just the way we like it.

As 2016 rolls through, so does Fossil Archive with its 4th release since its highly acclaimed beginnings in February 2015. With Fossil Archive’s previous release featuring as “Tune of The Month” on Mixmag’s November 2015 Techno Page, this next two-part ensemble sees two very different tracks leave you with little doubt that Fossil Archive remains inspired to be at the forefront of all things techno.

Starting off on the A side, Voiski brings a highly energised, synth-led onslaught on the senses. Completely improvised and recorded during a live show in Paris, ‘Calyptraphorus’ is driven by a stern groove. This hi-hat wielding, key driven stream of consciousness brings an ‘80s accent of vigour to any dance floor. Irresistible and loud, this power track of electronic techno is unhinged and original.

Over on to the B side, Roberto completely changes the tonality to a more intense effect on ‘Velatus’, depicting the multitudinous of feelings moving mind, body and soul. A balance of cryptic melody shadowed by rolling percussion and sandscape soundscapes, this minimalist derived dub-fresh track subtly completes the EP.

All in all, two tracks that will intrigue suitably different crowds and leave everybody smiling. A rewarding release of full range techno; here’s to another great year of Fossil Archive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You're never paddling in the shallows with Voiski... the Frenchman always drags you towards the pool's murky depths, where a surprise is often lying in wait.” [Resident Advisor]

“We’re big fans of Roberto here at Mixmag... He’s an artist who maintains control over his profile, and has benefitted greatly from this thoughtful approach.” [Mixmag]

“One of the most promising new labels to emerge this year” [DJ Mag]

Wata Igarashi - Ciphers EP
Vinyl Release date : End February

Midgar is very happy to deliver a new release by Wata Igarashi!!! Anticipated since few weeks already, with the two bonus digital tracks ´Mantle´ and ´Displacement´ (both available for free download), Ciphers EP is a rich assemblage of deep sonic excursions showing throughout a strong coexistence of organic and virtual elements. The record opens with ´Ciphers´, where a fast paced sandy groove is driving high on drones via sparking ambiances. Second track, ´Hailstones´ is basically a beat knocking its way outside, under a heavy hi-hat hail, slashed by snares and haunted by holographic spirits. On the B-side ´Lucifero´ carries a mellow but powerful mood, sounds like a morning star that gradually transforms into a supernova, is definitely the more dancefloor oriented cut of the release. Closing the vinyl, the slow-footed ´Cocytus´ is the complete opposite of its previous track, because of a cold, grave rhythm, treated like a windswept tree. Finally, the only digital tracks, ´Mantle´ and ´Displacement´ are perfectly resuming Wata Igarashi sound signature, as trippy gatherings of crafted beats joining drones and deformed soundscapes, the first is mind stressing and epic at certain stages, while the second vibrates so dreamy as it´s made of percussions and supernatural blows.

Wata Igarashi - A1. Ciphers

[Intro: Free Finga]
I'm blessed with the team

[Hook: Free Finga]
I'm so blessed to ride with my team x4

[Verse 1: Keanu Blunt]
I ride with my buddies, she want all my money
She ask me I answer so bluntly
New hoes I get them like monthly
Caught up in my mind and I'm not yet rich
Falling through these cheques and I got your bitch
We dont even talk to them
Talk all that shit we go off on them
If you talking shit better be strapped with a gat young killer
Wolves at the door pussy cat go figure
I ain't showing up till you got big figures
Gimme my money or I'll cut your fingers
Ride for my team
Die for my team
Counting up the money
On a million dollar scheme
Put up a fee I dont do shows for free
Put a motherfucker in the ground go sleep

[Hook]

[Bridge: Free Finga]
They know, they know
That the squad is in the jeep, moving thousand miles a week
Godmode, we can't be slowed
Blessed to cruise the city streets
Tweet if you know this is heat, yeah (I'm blessed with the team)

[Verse: Free Finga]
Me and you schemin', that was the big dream
Since we were little demons, playing in the same team
Now we're getting good deals, the whole gang is redeemed
Boys in white, girls in neon
Like an Episode of Skins
We're in the seventeenth season, the real party begins
You start to appreciate friends, when it gets personal, not about the ends
When fighting got too heated, thanks to the team, they knew what I needed
So blessed for the team, intro to Belly with a personal theme

[Hook]

[Bridge]
