The freshly formed duo 12 Stories (aka Mark Jenkyns and Christopher Sylvester) lay down their groove on VIVa MUSiC with 'Bright Lights' featuring Digitaria's electrifying vocals. New Yorker’s Walker & Royce and newcomers Scurrilous step in to give it the remix treatment.
‘We are really pleased to have our second full release be on VIVa MUSiC. Steve has been a supporter from the start and with him being such a music icon it’s great to be part of his quality label. Daniella's (Digitaria) sultry voice on ‘Bright Lights’ makes this one you’ll remember and both remixes bring something new to the package. Walker & Royce are the nuts and we were made up they did this for us, plus new kids on the block Scurrilous show why they are ones to watch.​’ ­​12 Stories

Title track ‘​Bright Lights’ explores the vocal delights of Digitaria with hypnotising effect scattered over high intensity chords and layers of hypersonic percussion. Second original offering, ‘​Cutoff’, p​ropels along a magnetic melody and vocal hook. Perfect for the after hours, Walker & Royce’s remix is all about the trippy vocals and a chunky, lo­slung bass. Rounding off the release, Scurrilous add a healthy dose of acid to their compelling version.
￼￼
o+ H​aving met randomly on the way to Croatia four years ago, 1​2 Stories m​aterialised as a project built to bring two musical styles and influences together to create something fresh and exciting. The duo’s production efforts have so far seen a remix of Jenkyn’s own ‘​On Me’,​a remix of Walker and Royce and their first full release ‘​Night Obscure EP’ on Hot Creations. Originally from South Shields, M​ark Jenkyns has enjoyed a series of well received releases on Hot Creations, Hot Waves, Crosstown Rebels and Dogmatik. C​hristopher Sylvester under his Inxec alias has released on a wealth of labels including Contexterior, Last Night on Earth, Leftroom, Get Physical, Culprit and Crosstown Rebels.

o+o R​espected duo Sam Walker and Gavin Royce aka W​alker & Royce f​ormed in 2011 and have since released on the likes of Crosstown Rebels, Moda Black, Pets Recordings and OFF Recordings. Manchester’s latest offering Adam and Andre are DJ and production duo S​currilous.​Their first release appeared on Foreign Language Records and this remix on VIVa MUSiC paves the way for more to come including a full EP on VIVa remixed by Paul C & Paolo Martini.

We could spend the next three paragraphs banging on about the monumental impact our first release ‘We Do What We Want’ had, but to be totally honest with you, we are tired of the track now and just want to move on to the raft of equally amazing music we have lined up for release on We Are The Brave.

However, in case you were living under a rock this summer, the key facts you should make a note of are as follows: it was the unofficial anthem for ravers from Hideout Festival to Creamfields. Annie Mac went mental for it on Radio 1. We got snapchats from school kids buzzing off the track and tweets from retailers playing it in their shops. It was even heard in KFC! And our soundcloud stream went into virtual meltdown clocking up 315K listens in under three months.

So yeah, not much to live up to… but you know what? We Are The Brave, we do what we want… and we want to get on to release number two! It’s called Friday Night Dancing. It’s by Alan Fitzpatrick. Skream is on the remix. Nuff said!

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave brand has well and truly landed. Their debut sold-out club shows, held over one weekend at the end of March were preceded by three barmy house parties live broadcast from the homes of fans, and a host of well received singles have now come and gone, setting the tone for followers to expect the unexpected from the label with their self styled motto of We Do What We Want. 

It is then with a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders and poker face glare that We Are The Brave dish out their latest offering, ‘You Got Me’. As Fitzpatrick goes on to explain:

“Brave will always be the most natural home for my music, whether it be a familiar style to listeners or not. The whole point is that we are building an excitement around the music being released by not following a particular pattern or pandering to expectation. Hopefully I’ve made the point over the first three releases that We Are The Brave is about going with a flow and not letting preconceptions limit your experience, so its about time we released a good old Fitzpatrick rave banger, init!” 

Even the most fleeting of listens to the intro of thumping kick drums, precision crafted percussion and thunderous claps will give a strong clue that Fitzpatrick is back at the controls this time out. By the time the cut is in full throttle just after the two-minute mark then you can sense the knowing looks starting to shoot about the room as the familiar feeling grows. Luckily for anyone still unsure, all doubt is cast off at the half way point when the rave pads and breakbeats rip on from nowhere followed in hot pursuit by the "classic" Emmanuel Top "Play It Loud" you got me burning up vocal.

Some more recent converts to Alan Fitzpatrick may not be fully aware of the depth of his catalogues, never mind the 20+ years discography that Slam have behind them or indeed the history of remix collaboration between the two that goes back to 2010. However, despite the heavy dosing of hoovers and horns on their You Got Me rework, this Slam Track Series remix is all about the here and now as Glasgow’s techno kings turn in another example of the fine form they find themselves on right now.

Artist: Kontal
Track: Broken Home
EP: What Lies Below 
Label: Soma Records
Release Date: 07.05.2018

Soma welcome a new artist to the label as Maltese based KONTAL debuts with What Lies Below. Having only begun the project at the tail end of 2017, Kontal steps up with four solid, dance floor ready tracks.

Broken Home kicks off with tough, jacked up drums hammering full pelt while disruptive synths set the tone. Trauma deliver yet more warped Techno with a pulsating synth hook building gradually throughout. Reflect brings out the more hypnotic and emotive side to Kontal as ethereal pads drift across more subtle percussive elements. Parallel closes Kontal’s debut Soma EP, keeping up the pace of previous tracks and creates a more dense and cerebral sound.

A well rounded and soundly produced EP, Kontal shows great depth of dance floor knowledge.

Andre Crom‘s home-base sits between Berlin and Barcelona, his label OFF Recordings once again comes up with the goods on Euphoria.

Brazilian Lucas Freire has been located in Barcelona for a number years, building up a reputation of excellence behind the decks. Using his self taught mixing skills, he is known to harness the floor vibe and gained huge respect for his dedication to the craft. His back catalogue of productions also include outings for labels such as Driving Forces, Different Is Different and Naked Lunch, as continues to make an impact.

Featured as the remixers on this package are two titans, firstly an artist known for hitting labels like Hotflush, Innervisions, and Mote Evolver, Oliver Deutschmann runs a multitude of imprints and is consistently influential in his work.

Supplying the second rework is the Belgian Tom Hades, who continues to play a part in OFF Recordings after his recent EP and appearances on a variety of labels like Sleaze, 1605 and Silent Steps.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the leading track “Euphoria” for its chunky, rolling flow, backed with a warm bassline, and quirky hook. The powerful rhythm is soon complemented with detuned metallic bells, innumerable claps pursuing a lush, energetic aura throughout.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

This new Intec release is from Many Reasons, which is the techno alias of Italian duo Angelo Manicone and Michele Colombo, who had previously been known under the names of MiniCoolBoyz.

Under their various aliases they have featured music on a huge range of labels including Phobiq, Break New Soil, Minus, 100%% Pure, Terminal M, Octopus Black, and their own Amazing Records.

Since their first release in 2008, the pair have been one of Italys most prominent techno acts, and have played all over the world including clubs like Watergate in Berlin, plus festivals like Balaton Sound in Hungary.

Many Reasons last release on Intec in September 2017 picked up support from the likes of Ambivalent, Alan Fitzpatrick, Wehbba plus Lee Van Dowski, and their much anticipated follow up brings stylish techno with a delicate sound design.

First up is Obsessed and its namesake vocals, which sits over the stripped back groove consisting of mechanical hi-hats and rippling synths. The track has a very intimate vibe with whispered textures, but its full bodied sound more than fills the speakers, and its pounding bottom end is a certified party starter.

The second track Rawphoria lifts it up a gear with a booming kick drum leading the slow building tension of the hypnotic background textures. The euphoric lead synth takes centre stage making this an understated and intricate cut of dancefloor focused techno with uplifting elements that complement its otherwise dark atmosphere.

Marko Nastic’s third edition of Easy Tiger brings together some of the finest artists of the genre. 

Each true to their own style, V.I.C.A.R.I., Marc & Nils and Sakro take their interpretations of Marko’s bold, housey, morning inspired tune. 

V.I.C.A.R.I. keeps it low, tuned to afterparties mood, while Sakro and Marc & Nils orientate their remixes more to club, prime time grooves, encircling the EP to four completely different tunes, set for different moods and individual preferences.

Luis Junior – Ways / Super Flu Remix
Beatport and Spotify exclusive for 2 weeks!

Beatport: goo.gl/KVvZ5K
Spotify: goo.gl/B3okQ7

Monaberry welcome a genuine OG to their family: Madrid magician Luis Junior. With over 20 years of releases on some of the most respected labels across electronica, he returns with his biggest release in several years. Four originals, one killer remix from Super Flu, get to know: 

‘Energy Success’ is an immense construction. An intense narrative with full suspense and release through its bewildering staccato synth riff, this drives and drives until you don’t think it can twist any further… Only to find it does. 

‘Ways’ takes us even deeper into Luis’s cosmic universe as a beautiful humanoid texture provides the lead while big washes sweep in the background. Gently rising with layers of positivity and musicality, there’s bewildering magic laced deep into the soul of the track… Something that label boss Super Flu complement in a completely flipped way with the remix. Taking the chords and building them around tightly plucked instrumentation, there’s a pensive sense of drama running throughout. 

Elsewhere ‘Reality’ is every bit the jolt its name suggests. Strident, pulsating with a theatrical edge, this lives in its own lane. A true 1am level-raiser, this is the quintessential ‘no-turning-back’ track when the late night massive slip into top gear. 

Finally ‘This Is Now’ closes the EP with a stark, stripped back march that rasps with alien dub delays and a time-bending sense of technoid trippiness. This is now, this is the past, this is the future… Places where Luis has dominated since his first releases 25 years ago. Rest assured we’ll be seeing him again soon, too.

Ways (Super Flu RMX)

Monaberry #48 – Luis Junior – Ways (Super Flu RMX)

The 20th release from Nina Kraviz’s seminal трип imprint is an homage to some of the most uncompromising manifestations of electronic music imaginable. Tracing sub-cultures from the 90s to the present day, трип 20 interrogates the boundaries of tempo and form via hardcore, gabber, acid techno and ambient. A mix of unreleased material and essential gems, the ten-track compilation visits трип regulars, esoteric masters and relative newcomers on a voyage to the extremities of a global underground. 

трип 20 continues the tradition of gatefold double EPs as a conceptual album. All of the tracks are selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All of the tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, a trip, that needs only end when the party stops. Kraviz works without release dates or deadlines, enabling her to achieve a certain sound bank to shape the story, unmasking the thoughts and unravelling like a dream. 

A1. Biogen – Hexagraphic 

An essential track from one of Iceland’s true underground pioneers, ‘Hexagraphic’ uses frenzied percussion to map out angular geometric oddities. Rhythmic patterns drift in and out whilst an arppeggiated low end and abstract melody interact with each other at high speed. 

A2. PTU – Castor and Pollux 

Animated malfunctions and freeform effects take the lead on this marching workout from Russian duo PTU, first heard on their Boiler Room in Moscow last year and now ready to be unleashed. 

A3. DEKA – Pearl (Nikita Zabelin edit) 

Equal parts gabber and acid, Moscow based Nikita Zabelin’s edit of DEKA’s ‘Pearl’ takes no prisoners with a booming kick and relentless analogue lead. 

B1. Exos – Grasshunter 

Opening up the B side, prolific Icelandic producer Exos administers a dose of uncanny, groove driven 90s techno on this unapologetically minimal, strangely addictive roller. 

B2. Bjarki – 3-1 tap lush 

A distinctive highlight track from Nina’s sets over the past few months - mistuned bells and distressed vocals flurry around cold stabs on a disorienting journey from Icelandic shapeshifter Bjarki. 

C1. Marc Acardipane a.k.a. Pilldriver – Pitch Hiker 

Stripped back, unrelenting hardcore from a 90s legend using raw elements and cavernous acoustics to devastating effect. Marc Acardipane aka Pilldriver aka Mover epitomises the sound of a movement. 

C2. Shadowax – I want to be a stewardess 

Looping vocals welcome you on board for this unfurling trip of multiple guises. What starts as a bare-bone techno sketch evolves into a fucked up mass of breaks, jungle and hardcore from Shadowax, also known as Russian producer and live act Ishome. 

D1. Universal Indicator – 15 c7 

As a sub project from the legendary Rephlex Records, Universal Indicator (aka Aphex Twin) released a series of mostly untitled acid techno with nothing but associated colours from the UI spectrum as reference points. On this merciless cut, reactive chemicals are placed inside a pressure cooker. 

D2. Roma Zuckerman – Zero 

Трип mainstay Roma Zuckerman takes an unexpected turn on this blissful ambient wandering. Cinematic soundscapes contrast natural beauty with computerised glitches, held together by warm, dubbed out synths. Nestled amongst a compilation full of force, ‘Zero’ takes us on a different kind of trip. 

D3. Nina Kraviz - Opa 

Closing off the compilation, Nina delivers an obscure beast of cross-rhythmic machine funk. Shifting rapidly in and out of tempo, ‘Opa’ won’t wait for you to catch up.

Deka - Pearl (Nikita Zabelin Edit)

Maksim Dark returns to his spiritual home of Senso Sounds - Oliver Huntemann's much touted imprint for his tougher, technoid leanings. Maksim, born in Serov, Russia, has created an indelible impression over the course of his young career, and 'Movement' is clearly the next step on his road to very great things. 'Attack Disco' is true to form - a lean, mean and tough to the bone piece of techno with a driving, powerful edge. Growling, snarling synths sound like shards of metal ripping through the groove producing an intense vibe. 'Coordinate' is a notch more reserved, but builds a killer, hypnotic groove through stripped back elements, before Maksims off-kilter sound design provides the trippy topping. The title track 'Movement' fits its name - the track bursts with energy and atmosphere, propelled by a thick, tactile rhythm and pitched down, demonic vocal by the man himself.
