C Powers - Which Ad Experience Do You Prefer?
CD002 | Out January 29

Pre-order: https://contagiondiscs.bandcamp.com/album/which-ad-experience-do-you-prefer

Georgia-born C Powers is the second artist to join the fledgling Contagion Discs imprint. 'Which Ad Experience Do You Prefer?' is their first release of 2021 and collects four compound tracks that scratch and bump through breaks, house and garage. C Powers has been making tracks and DJing in the South and around the world for well over a decade, while recent releases have come via labels like Sorry Records and Sweat Equity.

Now based in Portland, C Powers has both refined and expanded their vision of a groove-based, in-your-face electronics over the years. 'Which Ad Experience' consolidates that vision, utilizing a sequence of hard breaks, shuffling 2-step and tight, playful basslines across its four tracks. Dub and psychedelia flit throughout the title track and “FishWash”, while “Tinea” and “Lost Extract” channel martial rhythm into seductive dancefloor anthems.

C Powers uses they/them pronouns. 'Which Ad Experience Do You Prefer?' is out on January 29 via Contagion Discs.

My parents always told me that one day I would thank them for forcing me to play piano when I was a kid. I guess that day has come. This one is for them. <3

Wild (Reworks)

Wild (Beatless Version)

You wake up in the middle of the road
and you don't know why
don't you wanna reach answers 
you're just fallin
pull your arms around something
and hold it tight
cause you never know on what you might be fallin

you find my unconscious mind
sneak your way in every night
and just when i thought i was safe
you’re taking me back to that place
blue oceans and those avenues
that old house in the afternoons
your weight on my chest was it real
could’ve sworn on my life you were here

wake up in the middle of the road
and you don't know why
don't you wanna reach answers 
you're just fallin
pull your arms around something
and hold it tight
cause you never know on what you might be fallin

the sky is rearranging
your eyes i see them changing
this is everything i wanted
but twisted like it’s haunted
how awfully familiar
a romance turns to a thriller
running as fast as i can now
i can say if i’ll make it out

Two Hearts (Jacques Greene Remix)

'Archive – A Frankfurt Catalogue 91-94' is ready for pre-order now: https://dieorakel.bandcamp.com/album/archive-a-frankfurt-catalouge-91-94. Release date is 27 November 2020.

01 Phobia – Phobia (Silent)
02 Ongaku – Mihon #2
03 Alter Ego – Tanks Ahead
04 Redeye ‎– Ride With Aracknid
05 Sieg Über Die Sonne – Produkt Des Lichtes 
06 Ralf Hildenbeutel – Looking Beyond
07 Solar Eclipse – Zero Degree
08 Atom Heart – Milagro 

Frankfurt am Main has been on the german map of electronic dance music for arguably a handful of decades, characterized by vibrant scenes of emerging artists and DJs, and a (more often than not) industrious habit, which became notorious over the course of the 1990s. The crucial years of 1991 thru 1994, in which genres increasingly became sophisticated and attributed with regional sound signifyers, saw many protagonists getting into gear for international careers, while others ditched middle-class life perspectives for making a living with music related activities. 

'Archive – A Frankfurt Catalogue 91-94' is a selective, rather cerebral sonic cross section of Frankfurt am Main. Unlike other compilations based on cities, Archive does not claim to be representative—it is hyper-specific and curated to emphasize the emergent sound of an era, which became a topic of special interest in recent years. Experimental, bleepy acid and techno, science fiction house music with trance seeping in around the edges—the protagonists featured on this curated Compilation represent many of Frankfurt’s burgeoning scenes back then.

The tracklist might as well be read as a rhizomatic, yet partial analysis of the Frankfurt scene around that time. The first track sees two pioneers of Frankfurt’s pre house and techno tape scene, Pink Elln (aka Tobias Freund) and Atom Heart team up as Phobia, followed by a short-lived triad called Ongaku which consisted of Atom Heart and the DJ duo of Ata and Heiko MSO. Those DJs were to co-found the Delirium record store and start their own family of record labels soon after, joined by two guys hailing from close-by Darmstadt: Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke. Roman and Jörn initially created their Alter Ego project as an outlet for releases on Harthouse; an infamous label, run by Sven Väth amongst others, which also released countless productions created by Ralf Hildenbeutel. Redeye’s and Solar Eclipse’s tracks had been released on after 6am point, a label that had once been run out of the lively and creative hub at Delirium record store. The project Sieg Über Die Sonne had been started by Tobias Freund and Martin Schopf (aka Dandy Jack) in the late 1980s, both close friends to Atom Heart, who completes this compilation with a rare house track.

Archive – A Frankfurt Catalogue 91-94

‘Centre of Attention’ completes the various artists EP release trilogy from Left, Right & Centre with the continuation of bassy, break neck offerings as they reach the summit sonically. It is available as a four track digital EP in addition to a limited edition LRC-USB that features all 12 tracks from the 12 artists exhibited throughout their label launch.
The EP is set forth by Porter Brook with a spooky, new school, drum & bass hybrid - The Proposed Roads. UK influences follow suit, in Loggerheads from Hedchef, as it embodies a complex tapestry of drum sequences and a demented twist on everyones favourite rave stab. Twisting and turning, Who’s There? by Alexis swivels the mood to mystery, combining warped sounds with pulsing hi-hats to create a full bodied track for euphoric moments. Feloneezy answers Alexis’ question with Pick Up The Phone picking up the pace with a two step flow of skipping snares that’s both fierce and smooth. Unlike their previous releases within their V/A trilogy, this extended play includes artists from overseas that share a passion for UK flavoured techno and bass. Left, Right & Centre wish to inspirit and uplift with the euphonious exhibit of this generation’s artists in low end driven sounds.

PREMIERE : Feloneezy - Pick Up The Phone

Out November 27, pre-order it here: https://timedance.bandcamp.com/album/sharpen-moving

'Sharpen, Moving' celebrates five years of the @timedance imprint, blending the labels original aesthetic and opening it up into new corners of leftfield club music.

The compilation showcases Timedance's evolution from 'Bristol techno' to a more global conscious sound, incorporating energies from different scenes and synthesising them into new modern forms.

@akikoharuna contributes the jittery, sub-rattling 'Die & Retry'.

Following their previous Anjunadeep EP ‘Saudade’, which saw support from Annie Mac and Danny Howard at BBC Radio 1, powerhouse pair Alex Metric & Ten Ven are back with groove heavy club-cut ‘Qubit’.

The British pair individually boast an enviable back catalogue of high profile production credits. Having swiftly become one of the most highly sought after remixers and producers over the past decade, Metric has been called upon by the likes of Depeche Mode, Ellie Goulding and Gorillaz to give his signature spin on their tracks. While Ten Ven has spent recent years making a name for himself in the studio producing for the likes of Dua Lipa and Fenech Solar, he’s also been awarded a steady stream of tastemaker backing for his solo productions from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Annie Mac along with support from industry heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, Groove Armada and Skream.

CRi feat. Jesse Mac Cormack - Never Really Get There (Thought You'd Enjoy It Mix)

Out January 14, pre-order it here: https://pepemateos.bandcamp.com/album/2021-series

@pepe-mateos is embarking on a project that will see him self-release a new single every month of the year in 2021. The first one lands on January 14 and sets things in motion in fantastic style.

The up coming series will show him exploring a wide range of styles and sounds, each and every month of 2021 with every release influenced by the notion that, "the future is not at all clear. Everything that we thought had been established as fundamental is shaking."

'La Vida' is an expression of the ups and downs of Mateos's own life, a real reflection of his personality and "a track I want to be remembered for. A story with a happy ending. A development more inline with ancient music than with current music. A track with dynamic range, a story that begins and ends with hope."

Premiere: Pepe Mateos 'La Vida'

PRE-ORDER: https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/jad-the-infinite-autonomy-priori-remix-pre-ord-speed-dial/171039

Australian DJ and music producer Jad & The (Banoffee Pies, Rhythm Section, HAWS) launches his new imprint Speed Dial with the ‘Infinite Autonomy’ EP (SPEEDDIAL001).

Sounding just as much like it could be released in 1991 or 2001 as it does in 2021 its timeless music with an ode to up tempo wiggly tech-house (the good kind), UK broken beat, and a little hint of trance. It sounds wrong, but it isn’t.

Premiere: Jad & The 'Trespasser Unknown'
