With The Tiger, Matias Aguayo returns to Kompakt with his first EP for the label since 2014’s Legende. Since then, he’s been busy with all manner of experiments and explorations – a monthly radio show on Worldwide FM, 2019’s Support Alien Invasion; the essential El Rudo Del House series; an album on Crammed Discs with his group The Desdemonas; collaborations with Sano and Gladkazuka (as Rionegro), DJ Spoko, Mujaji, Julianna, a new trio with DJs Pareja, named MDM Factory, and the latest offering on his Cómeme imprint, El Cameron featuring Ricardo Villalobos. But something special happens when Aguayo returns to the mothership, as though he’s reconnecting with something essential: “pop melancholy is just right there,” he says.

On The Tiger, Aguayo is in touch with the core of the flame, the music that’s at the centre of his being. While most of the music may have originated “in the foggy Mexican forest,” he’s sure that the EP is “still a Cologne record,” something you can hear as soon as the prowling bass, shuffling rhythms and ghostly voices of the title track lope stealthily into earshot. The titular character is caught up in the sensuous tangle of the night, that space between dusk’s delirium and dawn’s dreaming. Aguayo sings, “Do you see the same I see? Are we having the same dream?” – here, he’s picturing an after-hours revelation, “on a warm muggy night with all sorts of background noise from various nightwalking animals – but at the same time, I was a city dweller stranded in the jungle, who still dressed like he was about to go to the disco.”

The ascending, ever-circling bass of “Nightshift, The Red” tells another story, a spiralling mantra that’s hypnotically psychedelic, yet elegant, refined, filled with sonic textures you can almost reach out and touch, like knotted twists of exotic fabric. “The lyrics are very associative and somewhere between urban and jungle nightlife,” Aguayo mentions, “fireflies shine, but also the reflections of the disco ball.” “Show Me What You’re Feeling” takes us back to the 1990s, with Aguayo re-working some vocal and lyrical fragments from three decades ago, its beautiful uncertainty remarkable in what Aguayo calls its “extremely emotional openness”. Dappled with melancholy, it’s a lover’s hymn to intimacy and vulnerability.

Aguayo signs off The Tiger with “El Propio Propio”, a celebratory ending to an EP that’s rich and complex, full of lovely musical moments – the tender melodies woven through “Show Me What You’re Feeling”; the warping, pliable, plastic textures that Aguayo crumples and crinkles through “El Propio Propio”. Like much of Aguayo’s music, The Tiger highlights the senses, to advance a new sensibility, one that inhabits a fever-dream of hints and clues, a mystery that’s solved by the deep, dark sensuality of the rhythms here, fully in love with the nightlife. It finds its exoticism in unexpected moments, sideways glances, surprising twists and turns. After all, as Aguayo says, “moths are far more glamorous and mysterious than butterflies.”

Aphrohead is back. 22 years since Felix Da Housecat's techno alias released the manic 'In The Dark We Live (Thee Lite)', he returned with his first full-length album in a decade last month, releasing it on Crosstown Rebels. 

'Resurrection', a fitting title for someone who's given this alias a prolonged rest, sees the Chicago producer getting cosmic with the title track and totally hammering with 'Grown Man Cryy'.

WWD Review

Premiere : VII Circle - Lone [Stem Records]

We have the premiere of 'Lockers' and it's classic, rib-shaking Hood. 

From the first beat you're drawn in with pulsating riffs, thick, weighted kicks and fierce, groove-inducing snares. Before the melodic sound of Floorplan hits, let's go back to where it all began and who better to take us there than the king himself.

Premiere: Robert Hood 'Lockers'

Sailor & I - Chameleon (Johannes Brecht Remix)

OUT NOW - https://Sailorandi.lnk.to/ChameleonRMXID

Motorik pop with a beating heart, Chameleon is the new single from Sailor & I, taken from his debut album The Invention of Loneliness out 24th February.

With Chameleon’s electrical glitches and grand piano giving way to layers of brass and the ricochet of hit hats and rim-shots, the hybrid, genre spanning potential of Sailor & I is evident throughout. With remixes to come from Vessels and Johannes Brecht, Chameleon is set to dominate tastemaker DJ sets, playlists and blogs in the coming months.

Sailor & I - Chameleon (Johannes Brecht Remix)

Biotop proudly welcomes Indian ambassador Pawas back to the label. One year after his acclaimed Versus Vol.1 EP, he’s back with the follow-up, Versus Vol.2 - this time accompanied by two very good friends.

Pawas kicks off the EP with Else, inspired by the open air club of the same name run by Berlin’s Wilde Renate crew. After a few hours dancing the day away with his favourite DJs, Pawas felt a strong wave of motivation and followed it straight into his studio - located in the Renate building just across the Elsen bridge - to write the song.

For the second track, Pawas teamed up with another precious Biotop artist: Mastra. Their track together, In Your Love, is a very special tune, with every musical element played live by the duo at Mastra’s analog cave in Bern, Switzerland. The final gem, Musk, delights with its disco influences, produced by Pawas and his Indian friend Gokul Rao Kadam in Bangalore, India.

Versus Vol. 2 will be released in October 2017, complete with mastering by Werner Niedermeier and a lovely cover design by Anina. For more information: www.biotop-label.net

EP release date:
16 October 2017
