2019 RADIO ELECTRONICA celebrates it’s 20th anniversary! As a big part of the social and electronic music scene of Jena, we decided to ask local electronic music artist to deliver some of their work to gather a special anniversary sampler. We were overwhelmed of the encouragement that we received and ended up with 20 proper tracks.

Exploited boss Shir Khan’s ever-dependable Secret Gold series returns for its eleventh edition, with two very tasty tracks that will appeal to a wide range of discerning diggers.

French genius The Mekanism kicks off with ‘Beach House’, a gentle summer jam that’s a world away from some of his more pumping material. Lilting acoustic guitar licks waft over thumping kicks and snappy percussion before funk-fuelled live bass and salsa-flavoured piano solos descend. The break drafts in touches of Afro-Latin percussion and hazy vocal snippets to complete a delightful soundtrack for a stroll across the sand. Come on in, the water’s lovely!

Bas Roos continues his excellent form for the label with a collaboration alongside Guy Steve. With a similar flavour to ‘Beach House’, their delicious ‘Route 69’ pares disco funk guitars with looping organic bass and jazzy electric piano noodling. Carefully deployed filters break up the rolling groove just when needed. An early evening dancefloor groove with impeccable taste.

Early Feedback:
Osunlade: Nice grooves.
Crazy P: Solid jazzy grooves for floor
Hyenah: Beach o clock!
Tim Green: Love Beach House.
Ardalan: Viper. Love it.
Jonas Rathsman: Summer is here!
Art Of Tones: Great EP. Both tracks are dope.

Up next on London imprint Silver Bear Recordings, UK duo Wayward serve up a tasteful 12" titled 'The Energy / Space Marines' - set to land on July 26.

Ahead of the EP's release, Wayward has handed over its opener 'The Energy' - a sparse and whispy track with a indomitable groove that "just gets you."

This is a public service announcement. Mr. Mitch’s (@mrmitchmusic) @Gobstopper-Records is back with a tremendous three-tracker from Leeds lad @BFTT.

Titled ‘Versioning’, the EP follows up releases on Whities, All Centre and Cong Burn and feels like a sort of harmonious link-up between BFTT’s precision-cut techno signature and the label’s love for synth-heavy, carefully constructed bass material that veers between sweetboy and screwface territory. By that we mean, it's yes from us.

“Gobstopper is a label I've followed and loved for a long time,” explained BFTT via Twitter. “So it's literally a dream come true.”

The ‘Versioning’ EP drops on August 7 via Gobstopper Records. Pre-order below and check out EP track ‘I’, below:

'Find Sound' is the debut record from Shards, a London based vocal group led by singer, composer and producer Kieran Brunt. Combining voices, synths and percussion, Find Sound is an astonishing exploration of the human voice; using the concepts of sound and light as simple metaphors for gaining understanding. The album’s pieces are intended to be miniature sonic paintings, with each adding to an overall picture of the emotional confusion of early adulthood: the uncertainty, the excitement, the terror and relief.

After collaborating with Terry Riley in 2016, Brunt was asked by the Barbican to form a choral group for Nils Frahm’s Possibly Colliding festival that summer. Following the success of the shows, Frahm invited Brunt to join him in Berlin to collaborate on choral arrangements for his recent album 'All Melody'. Shards have since gone on to collaborate with other notable artists, including Michael Price on his recent LP 'Tender Symmetry'.

Each of the singers in Shards brings a very distinctive musical personality to the group, something which Brunt was eager to emphasise on their debut record. Rather than aiming for a seamless blend or absolute precision when recording, the differences between voices has been intentionally highlighted — celebrating their unique textures and inviting the listener to hear their minutest details up-close.

"The group ended up consisting almost entirely of friends and friends-of-friends. I also tried my best to ask people who weren’t just singers, but who do have other projects and musical interests. As such, we have people in the group who are also composers, instrumentalists, folk musicians and teachers. It’s a vibrant mix, and I’m constantly discovering new things about them the more we make music together.” — Kieran Brunt

Shards is Kieran Brunt, Lucy Cronin, Sarah Latto, Bethany Horak-Hallett, Kate Huggett, Chris Huggon, Jack Lawrence-Jones, Rose Martin, Augustus Perkins Ray, Oli Martin-Smith, Josephine Stephenson and Héloïse Werner.

This is a fresh cocktail for the summer. Sano from Medellín, Colombia (who released on Cómeme and Public Possession) and Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote created these 4 latin percussion tools for balearic DJ sets. 
The guys met in Sevilla where they were booked as DJs and had a good time: Talking about Narco books, puertorican rhythm culture, their salsa heroes and favorite descargas. In fact Kapote has a heavy addiction for latin american music and collects salsa vinyl since a long time.
The vibe was set after a few bocadillos and spanish wines and they planned to do something together. So here you get the result: The music was made half in Kapote’s Berlin studio and half in Sano’s Barcelona home. Rhythm section on Wawanko courtesy of Phran from Venezuela (Sano's studio partner in Barcelona).
Fun fact: Sano made three records on Public Possession. The Munich label made by Marvin & Valentino. Before starting Public Possession Valentino used to work for Gomma/Toy Tonics and he started to dj at the early days Gomma/Toy Tonics partys. The world is small.

"18 year old gal living in NYC wanting to make music which takes people in a different headspace. Stamped with love is a bop which talks about the moments when leaving things which feel like home to you. This can be a person, place, idea and leaving those behind for something new but still reminiscing and being grateful for the memories that were made."
