House & Techno

A war dance
You've opened the pit / Honesty is sick / You try to be honest / Look what you get / The foods run short /And then the money talks / One way out / Your premonition is correct
A war dance

Rodion & La Royale - Chamorro Tomorrow

"En la distancia se aclara el sentir y el viaje es un momento diáfano que permite ver a través de los sueños. Sentimientos cristalizados en estos edits, pedazos de música, pedazos del corazón, que remiten a la infancia, al amor primigenio, a los amigos, al terruño. Un regalo para nosotros, que crecimos juntos."

Una Historia Original (Piano Edit)

Japanese born producer Hokuto Sato has created an astonishing EP for the next Neovinyl release. Featuring an eclectic collection of elements ranging from Jazz to abstract house sounds, everything comes together to make this work a piece of art called YEARS.

Hokuto is trying to find out his own way to treating carefully Jazz and House. His attention goes on sampling, based on something we can call "momentum sounds" composed on beautiful vibes, which exist in the smaller details of sounds.

These 4 tracks are inspired by a wide range of styles from the '50s soulfulness, '60s cool and modern Jazz to '70s spacy one coming from South America.

We hope you feel true, timeless values of House Music because that's all why we came to House Music.

Lyrics:

Nothing’s gonna happen
I’m sinking in a fantasy 
If we love each other
Why can’t we be dreaming together?

Nothing’s gonna happen
I cannot stand reality
Does true love only exist?
I don’t want to live in a french movie

Living in a French Movie

Hante. is releasing her album "No Hard Feelings" on the 6th of September. Repartiseraren has gotten a hold of the third song off this release, titled "Une Nuit Avec Mon Ennemi". 

On this release, it feels like Hante. has grown out of her first stage and fully embraced the more theatrical, atmospheric and poppier side of her music. 

The blaring synthesizers, the jabbing percussion, everything is clad with a shroud of black - but with a meaning, an intent. It is beautiful in all its mystery and misery.

"No Hard Feelings" will be available digitally, as a limited edition digipack-CD and limited edition white vinyl.

The lyrics are a metaphor in french for insomnia.

Lyrics:

Je ferme les yeux Tu te ballades sous mes paupières
Commence alors notre petit jeu Celui du loup et du coeur de pierre

Les mots s’embrasent Sur tes lèvres closes dans la pénombre
Les heures se fanent La nuit se consume et je sombre

Cititrax is thrilled to present a full length LP entitled Adieux Au Dancefloor by Montreal based recording artist, Marie Davidson. Marie Davidson has emerged as one of the foremost electronic artists working in contemporary pop today. As a long-time member of Essaie Pas (DFA Records), Davidson has had the opportunity to hone her many talents. She has been participating in the city’s vibrant experimental community for much of her adult life. However, in 2012 she began to unveil compositions under her own name, revealing a solo artist who possessed the combined confidence and vulnerability required to write, produce and perform unaccompanied. Davidson’s intimate solo work is embodied through a host of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines which coalesce in synchronized harmony, punctuated by vocals, half sung, half spoken in both French and English. She masterfully shapes the overall mood, themes, emotion, expression and intensity of her work, which gives the final result a distinctive, cinematic quality. 
With Adieux Au Dancefloor, Marie makes a slight departure from her last two releases, via Holodeck (2015) and Weyrd Son (2014), by creating her first fully dancefloor oriented piece of work. Through the 45 minutes of music that comprises the album, she experiments with pop structures, defines her voice, and layers rhythms to make complex and beautiful techno tracks. She closes the album with the title track in classic Chanson style.
Adieux Au Dancefloor will be released on October 6th. The record will be pressed on 160 gram white vinyl and will feature photographs by the equally talented Corinne Schiavone. The record will be housed in a full color printed heavyweight jacket along with matching printed inner sleeve. Pre-order available now. Digital release to follow.

Lyrics: 
It seems like honesty is not so fashionable these days, it's true, I ask a lot of questions.
You call me naive?
I'll tell you what, I'm naive to the bone.
Do you think I'm too soft?
Because I don't hide, or is it that your lost when I smile?
I don't need your love but I'll dare to ask you how you feel about me.
Just to get things straight.

I have no cards to hide.
My life is not a game.

Let me picture my future, a large room where you can hear the silence.
No space for arrogance, no pain in my chest.
Just the beating of my heart.
J'suis pas un cordeau moi! (In French)

In The Middle Ages, people used to wear clocks, it's 2016, get real.
So you think i'm too soft.
I have nothing to prove, I have no advice for you. But remember what Terrance said: 
"The last dance, we dance alone".

Adieux Au Dancefloor

Marie Davidson - Naive To The Bone

TF #098: Silva Rymd [Ghosts I ://about blank] - Berlin **exclusive vinyl mix
Photo: Leonardo Luna. 

It all started in 2007 with her beloved Projekt Electricdress which was organizing workshops at Spartacus Potsdam and where she immersed herself in the world of electronic beats, organizing parties, and representing a small club collective. This started her on her way in a developing scene with intense exchange between Leipzig and Berlin. 

In 2008 she decided to move to Berlin. Since then she has been working for ://about blank permanently – her "living room" as she calls it – and influenced by labels like Sandwell District or Prologue and the dark and echoing Techno-sound of this time, she started DJing. Today she passionately conjures the events named Ghosts and Zeroize and when she's not playing at ://about blank you can find Silva DJing in other clubs spinning her deep and dubby techno-records and having fun.
