RH006: Sublime Sound - That Love Affair EP
Remmah, 20 May 2022

Rory Hamilton aka Hammer's Remmah imprint welcome another rising star to its roster with  a new EP from New Delhi talent Sublime Sound (@anhadkhanna). 

A seasoned producer and DJ in the Indian music scene, Anhad Khanna has grown to be known as one of the most versatile upcoming acts from the circuit. His 2020 debut EP 'Final Call' and last summer's single 'Colour' marked Khanna within his homeland as an exciting name to watch.

2022 finds Khanna honing his craft yet further with his Remmah debut 'That Love Affair': five original tracks of emotionally driven club music conceived during the height of the pandemic, a period of heightened uncertainty for those living in India.

The EP kicks off with the title track followed by lead single 'Now We Are', with both tracks employing euphoric buildups, trance-inspired chord changes and the push/pull of a chopped-up breakbeat groove. The accompanying video for 'Now We Are' stars Basel vocalist Ellivia, and was shot in the singer's home city at the start of 2022.

Thumping four-on-the-floor cut 'I Can't Run' is followed by perhaps the most emotionally-charged track of the collection, ‘TheLessWeFeel’, before ‘5AM’ ends the EP's run of original tracks with the same vocal sample it began with, signifying the emotional loops people can find themselves in.

Rounding things off is the Hammer remix of 'Now We Are', adding new textures and dynamics to Khanna's expansive sound. Hammer: "I became aware of the vibrancy of the Indian electronic music scene on my first tour there, so it felt really natural for me to bring talent from that scene to the Remmah roster. I fell in love with the demos Anhad sent me, and what a privilege to be able to release & remix his music."

Tracklist:
01. That Love Affair
02. Nowe We Are (ft. Ellivia)
03. I Can't Run
04. The Less We Feel
05. 5AM
06. Now We Are (Hammer Remix)

Hot Creations welcome back Fabio Neural and DJ Fronter who join forces once again for their second release on the label titled Ding Dong. Following on from their success with the first release, the eagerly anticipated second drops in May. 

“After the popularity we saw with ‘Brr Baby Brr’ on our last EP on Hot Creations, we have tried to follow the same mood that has characterised the collaboration between myself and DJ Fronter. We love to build tracks with stunning, hypnotic long breaks that rise into a powerful drop. Being back on Hot Creations is very important to us and we are honoured to be doing so.” - Fabio Neural 

The title track opens proceedings, plunging straight into a heavy 4x4 beat, creating a stripped back, minimalistic base, expertly layered with finely chopped vocals. Fog horn like sounds and sharp percussion bring the piece together, resulting in a raw, industrial experience. Shocked follows, encapsulating the Hot Creations sound in true style, packed full of energy. Riveting bass lines paired with fan fare-esque melodies lay at the forefront of the track, transporting the listener to a bustling, colourful dancefloor. 

Fabio Neural threw himself into the music industry at an early age. His productions have seen him release on Steve Lawler's Viva Music and feature in Pete Tong’s 500th Essential Mix. His eclectic DJ sets have enabled him to share the stage with heavyweights such as Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin and Adam Beyer. Colombian native DJ Fronter, has become one of the greatest promises to come out of South America with releases often being seen at the top of the Beatport charts. He has captured the ears of the likes of Paco Osuna, DJ Sneak and Matthias Tanzmann and can be seen touring across the globe.

On its 46th release, MindTrip welcomes two substantial artists from Sweden on a collaborative 4-track EP. Matthias Fridell and Alexander Johansson are standalone producers but their common ideas and vision brought them together on various shared releases in the last couple of years. The two combined push their boundaries while squeezing their 909 sounds and short synth loops with a clear '90s flavor. Here's what they say about their ''Datamaskin'':
''The tracks came together based on the limitation to use only a Dreadbox Erebus synth as the main element for playing sequences, and building drums, assisting synths & rhythmic patterns around those sequences.
Since the Erebus is fully analog with no way of saving your patches, the limitations placed on you force you to come up with ideas and create something during that current session and capture it. That's the core and foundation of the tracks residing on this release.
The only time post-editing was used was for "Debil" where some hi-hats were added afterward.''

Press play and feel it.

This is MindTrip!

Ramsey Neville kicks off Summer 2022 as he makes his Techno Brooklyn debut with 'Motherboard'.

Inspired by the contrast between the streets of Brooklyn and the serene landscape near his hometown of Seattle, New York-based DJ and Producer Ramsey Neville's fibrous, yet atmospheric techno has recently found its home on Josh Winks' Ovum imprint and Unity Records, alongside track support from Richie Hawtin and Monoloc.

'The Motherboard EP is really about channeling my love for all things science fiction. I'd recently re-watched Blade Runner right around the time I started working on these tracks and found it to be a massive source of inspiration. I always find myself drawn to dark and gritty sounds which results in the sort of futuristic and dystopian soundscapes you hear throughout this EP.'' - Ramsey Neville

Resonant lead track 'Motherboard' is a dark and brooding affair shaped by chasmal, atmospheric basslines and ticking percussion, before distorted synths, ghostly vocals and dramatic samples fuel the warped 'Ferment'. To close, pounding low-ends lie under acute hats in 'Celtris III', as distant, eerie echoes and cinematic breakdowns work closely together in this driving cut.

Second State will drop its next various artists' compilation this summer featuring 12 artists from today’s techno scene, showcasing their individual sound and production skills. The 11 tracks each incorporate elements from techno sub-genres to create a varied and intoxicating release from the Berlin imprint, welcoming Second State regulars and new names alike to continue paving the way for the label’s sound. 

Returning to Second State is Yotam Avni, who opens the record with the dynamically layered ‘Panic’. The breakdowns of this track switch up during its flow, varying in intensity as it progresses. Valentinø and My Flower hasten the pace with ‘Lightfire’, packed with minimal drumwork, booming bass and phased bursts of ethereal keys. Up next is Simon Stiglmeier with a piece of kaleidoscopic techno in ‘Dancy’, complete with a grooving vocal synth. SOTO follows with enveloping bass and rippling synth waves in ‘Core’, whilst Techno live band Komfortrauschen power on with a warbling bassline and whirring atmospherics with ‘Each Second’. 

‘Subconscious Reset’ from Juliet Fox contributes a barrage of alarms and sharp, chilling synths that echo menacingly throughout, followed by Isabel Soto with pulsating cut ‘Momentum’ - a stripped back, down-tempo roller. Gutto Serta takes listeners down a rabbit hole with trippy cut ‘Maximize’, with airy pads whispering underneath bleeps and a sultry vocal sample. Building the record to crescendo is Dextro’s booming and raucous track ‘Omonoia’, with razor sharp hoover sounds and an earth-shattering kick & hi-hat combo. Maintaining the powerful energy is Daryl Stay with his propulsive weapon ‘Phalanx’, followed by the final track from Avision, ‘Tunnel’, featuring playful synth and acid lines that bounce over the phased percussion, and a shift in pitch to build the track’s intensity.

MindTrip music, Founded by Pfirter 2006. 
Reinvented and relaunched in 2012 under the new name MindTrip.

MindTrip Music was the creation of Buenos Aires born Juan Pablo Pfirter in 2006. The digital-only label acted as a springboard for upcoming Argentinian artists and of course, Pfirter himself, introducing those talents to the rest of the world. Over the years, the fledgling label allowed Juan Pablo the ability to experiment and play with music, sounds and textures and develop his own sense of direction and focus. Collaborating and drawing influence and experience from fellow MindTrip Music artists like Jonas Kopp, Flug, Markus Suckut, Psyk and Monoloc, both the label and Pfirter grew in symbiotic proportion. But after 6 years and 48 releases, Pfirter felt the need for change.

Having released on CLR, Stockholm LTD, Stroboscopic Artefacts & Figure, Pfirter’s brand of hypnotic music has touched dancers and listeners the world over. Not only limited to the clubs, Pfirter’s productions have delved deep into the experimental side too. This is the focus and framework of the new label. 
Juan Pablo reinvented and relaunched the MindTrip imprint, showcasing the full degree of his sound. The label changed its name from MindTrip Music to
just MindTrip, releasing vinyl as well as digital utilising a bespoke artwork profile.
This is MindTrip music!
