Groove it out to tech

We welcome back one of our own hometown heroes, Jonathan Kaspar. Through holding down a residency at the fabled Gewölbe club, to releases on Pets Recordings, Objektivity, Ouïe and our own KX imprint, Jonathan Kaspar has proved to be one of the most exceptionally gifted producers and DJ’s to emerge from Cologne in recent time.

Though the clubs have remained closed since he came to us with his Kompakt debut “Kante”, his inspiration clearly remains unwavered with “Muster EP”. An acid tinged groove throbs to incredible momentum on the title track “Muster”. Follow the heartbeat with “Alle” as Jonathan brings the electro funk forward with his first foray into using his own vocals. A French touched rumble bass gives “Beton” all the flow and more for those early hour moments we all are craving again. The closer “Heber” is a classic opener – a subtle percussion rhythm gets built around sky high synths and a sweet house high hat to warm up any night.

The digital version comes with a stripped down version of Beton!

KOMPAKT PREMIERE: Jonathan Kaspar - Beton

@tunnelvisions1 return to their home label @Atomnation for a fourth fantastic release in the last three years. This six track excursion builds on the pair's warm, richly melodic and always hypnotic style with fantastically colourful results.

Tunnelvisions is Emiel van den Dungen and Raynor de Groot. Both artists keep busy with their own solo projects (Milio and Coloray respectively) but continue to find fascinating middle ground when they come together in the studio. 2020 saw them step out on Moscoman's Disco Halal and Solomun's Diynamic, while they have also been remixed to great effect with influential DJs like Dixon and Tale Of Us playing the results. Now, though, they are back on Atomnation with another superb collection of cuts.

The undulating 'Acid Neverland' opens up with its succulent and supple drums overlaid with heavenly chords and glowing pads. Coloray's vocals are then layered in to bring some drive and attitude to this most compelling of tracks. 'King Cobra' is a dubby delight. Its airy hi hats, bulbous bass notes and tripped out melodic motifs all sinking you into a trance.

There is more angst and energy to the malfunctioning melodies and steel-plated drums of 'Mirrored Identities' while 'Waiting For The Morning' is a perfect dreamscape. It's a super widescreen track with deft pads coming in and out of focus, glistening melodies reflecting light and pulsing drums locking you in. 'Private XS' flips the vibe with more drawn out and sinewy synths gurgling and bubbling away as they ride up and down the scale like a slow motion cosmic explosion. Last but not least, 'End of Time' has the most pop hooks and catchy riffs of the lot. They dart about the mix as smeared pads and crunchy, punchy drums encourage you to cut loose.

This is another masterfully cohesive collection of colourful dance floor cuts that take in pop, techno and synth music and skew them the unique lens of Tunnelvisions.

Dario D'Attis (@dario-dattis-1) has developed a well deserved reputation for sparkling, groove-laden house music over his already impressive career. The Swiss DJ and producer has risen to become a celebrated name in the European scene, having held down influential residencies at locations like Oxa in Zurich and through his own renowned party - Amaro. Here he returns to Poker Flat Recordings to showcase all his musical charm once more.

'Solera' is a chunky slice of floor-moving house music, replete with drum  fills, a building energy and a trippy looped vocal - seemingly the perfect vibe for open air parties.

'Body Somebody' is darker in attitude and its sound design - more of a heads down late night stormer that features a cut-up disco loop that gives the track its title, and a masterful use of suspension and release in its structure.

'Solera (Reprise Mix)' brings back the title track and mutates it into a chilled balearic vibe for the beach, while the 'Body Somebody (Instrumental)' removes the vocal and gives room for the DJ to do their thing.

'For the World to Know About', the latest track by @Dead-Tones, brings a throaty-low bass line underneath a classic French synth progression. The vocal sample beckons a G-house toughness to a decidedly tactful, tech-heavy track. Soon to be released on Berlin's breakout label @Bar25, this track has been a defining staple of Dead-Tones' production style and direction, dazzling dance floors across the globe.

Having grown up between Beirut and Paris, when Dead-Tones arrived in Los Angeles he brought a wealth of French-Lebanese flair to the scene. 'For the World to Know About' is one of the stand-out productions that defined his first years in the City of Angels. After a breakout release on @Kindisch, he's also been a resident DJ of Guy Gerber's @RumorsRecords label showcases, performing in Ibiza for the last several seasons, while also moonlighting as a sound production educator and mentor to many up-and-comers in the dance music scene.

'For the World to Know About' releases on @Bar25 October 25, 2019, as part of his 'Delusions of Grandeur' EP - available for purchase on Beatport.

Exclusive Whitesquare 'Pressured Mind'

The fourth release on Whitesquare's own label, 'Pressured Mind', is ready to blow the same. The 'Algernon' follow-up musically take a different direction than it predecessor, mostly in it's choice of sounds, because Whitesquare unveils his preference for Acid-bleeps once again, as he introduced us to a rhythmic/ acid-esque hybrid on his previous EP for Dj Tennis' Life And Death label. 'Pressure Mind', which was also part of Whitesquare's art:cast for Torture the Artist in October, seems to be based upon the artist's inevitable groovy bass lines, always containing a resonating funkiness in the sub-frequencies. But 'Pressured Mind' has more to offer than the artist's trademark features as the listener is pulled deeply into the sound-action, namely Whitesquare slowly fades in the Acid-beeps that add the title track's suggested seriousness – or pressures one's mind – while before the aforementioned is basically is hinted at with vocoder-edited vocals. 

Whitsquare's single 'Pressured Mind' was released on his Whitesquare Series label on November 1st, 2019.

Italian native Fabio Neural teams up with growing Columbian talent DJ Fronter on the Brr Baby Brr EP. Soon to be released on Hot Creations, the three-track release is a contemporary house affair that shows the natural chemistry between the two.

Leading with Brr Baby Brr, a driving kick is soon complemented by whistling hats, before a teasing synth build up gives way to a pummelling bass driven drop. Silver Star comes in next with a reverberating vocal sample that’s underlined by a subtly changing bassline and warm, building pads, before Downtown rounds off the EP with a harder techno tone as punchy lead kicks meld with choppy, non-apologetic keys.

Having produced music since 2010, it was last year that Fabio Neural really caught the ground running with releases on two of modern house music’s leading labels: Relief and Saved. This year has been followed up with Brr Baby Brr, his standout release of 2019 and his first release on Hot Creations. DJ Fronter is one of Columbia’s most prominent artists. Having previously performed for the Resistance party brand his DJ sets speak for themselves, whilst his knack for producing has seen him release on labels like Circus and Nervous.
