Best of Dekmantel x Patta (2015-2022)

Animistic Beliefs - Save Aru Islands

Today we host a stellar premiere from one of the most illustrious producers within the electro scene, Controlled Weirdness. The South London bass merchant arrives on the coveted imprint, Cultivated Electronics with a four track EP that screams vintage electro.

Controlled Weirdness has remained somewhat in the shadow’s of the electro scene, known best for his monthly radio show on Threads, his Presence Unknown label and Electric Sweat events. The DJ and producer is very much intwined in the London scene, yet remains to some degree on the fringes, making the EP name In The Shadows impeccably fitting.

The Londoner has been rocking the decks and perfecting his craft since the mid-’80s when as a youngster, Electro and early ’80s pirate radio started his obsession with electronic music and he played his first gig at “The House of Dolls” in Farringdon where he soon became resident. After a stint in New York from 1989 he met Joel Bevacqua aka DJ Deadly Buda, who after returning to his hometown of Pittsburgh invited Neil (Controlled Weirdness) to play at the first ever rave there in 1991, leading to a 6-month stint of events.

Upon Neil’s return to London in 1992 he started a radio show on pirate station Chillin FM alongside his sister, Stacey (later known as NoYeahNo). Many more events followed until in 1996 and then he formed Unearthly Records. Since then, he has played worldwide from plush clubs to dirty warehouses and has appeared on a variety of labels including Audio Illusion, Control Tower, Praxis, Zhark, Dirty Needles, Fdb and Still Raven.

As Controlled Weirdness arrives on sister label of Cultivated Electronics, Cultivated Electronics LTD which specifies in vinyl only releases he brings with a quartet of prime electro cuts. The four track EP is ripe with tough electro rhythms, timeless acid lines and earthy soundscapes.

Corona Acid does exactly what it says on the tin. A rolling acid soaked club tool that simmers through unwavering 303 lines and heavy 808 bass drums. This is the perfect track to set the tone for the club, or on the other hand wind it down. Top shelf electronic music, from an unsung hero of electro.

Belgian artist & producer Kris Vanderheyden has been a tour de force on the electronic music landscape ever since careering onto the scene in the early 1990s.  A regular collaborator with CJ Bolland (co-writing the landmark ‘The 4th Sign’ album release, as well as on the huge singles ‘Sugar Is Sweeter’ and ‘The Prophet’) as well as remixing global stars Blondie and Janet Jackson, Vanderheyden has also been knocking out bona fide rave classics under the Insider moniker.

Having already fired out releases for esteemed imprints such as Cocoon many big Belgian techno labels over the last three decades, ‘Something Flash’ surprisingly Insider’s first release for R&S Records under this alias. And the wait is most definitely worth it, as a rollicking club banger is put together, as Insider bares his teeth for a fusion of slamming, kinetic techno and pumping dancefloor grooves delivered with punk attitude.

Release Info :

James Shinra – WGD 12005 [We’re Going Deep // WGD12005]

Artist: James Shinra
Title: WGD 12005
Label: We're Going Deep
Cat No: WGD12005
Format: 12” Vinyl

Placid aka Paul Wise is the chief in command at ‘We’re Going Deep’ – an online community and record label, born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of electronic rhythm and obsession for collecting records since 1988.

Known to many in underground House and Techno circles, he’s spent the last 3 decades moving heads and feet at select venues, parties and fields across the UK and beyond. On a mission to share and release new music via his imprint: you’ll find only the best in Acid, Electro, IDM, Techno and Deep House for the dance floor, front room or even just your headphones.

For the latest solo series edition, Paul reaches out to the talents of UK based songwriter and producer James Shinra, for a heavyweight 4 track EP of 303 fuelled excursions. Hitting the floor head on with the muscular tones of “Jaunt” on A1 – punchy 808 percussion builds with jarring rave-etched synthesis, before rushing into the roar of a 303 grabs you by the scruff of the neck and unleashes a rolling groove that jacks hard until the twisted end. Do not be fooled by the calmer overtures of A2 “Venture”, Shinra unleashes another rolling 4 to the 4 floor workout. Balancing airy leads and shifting pads to precision programmed beats, the TB saws its way through to maximum frequency exposure over the course to brazen effect.

On the B-Side, B1 “WASP” takes control via deeper bass tones, squelching tweaks and A-A-Acid vocal chants, all paced at a solid mid-tempo groove that really brings things to the boil: just when you need it. Signing off with the stunning IDM inflected melodies of “Flexion” on B2 – Shinra shows his mastery of space and warmth with this beautifully balanced slice of Electronica that really is the icing on the cake.

Premiere: Miri Malek 'Ask Again Later'

The dust was blowing furiously as the sky became a dark frosty black. Out here in the middle of nowhere they were very much at risk in the midst of chaos. Others had told tall stories about mysterious evenings lost in the dense fog of a plexistorm but few had ever imagined it might be as intense or vivid as this.

The wind howled between the ears as the night became colder, it were as if god himself was blowing frostily down upon them from the great heavens up above. How the hell might they ever escape but for a prayer or a miracle? It seemed like nothing else might work…
 
LNS & Dj Sotofett have become keen collaborators having worked on previous releases for Tresor. Now they return to the label with a new EP packed with electronic heat destined to keep dancefloors two steppin’ in rapid time. This is Electro at it’s very best – somewhat melancholy undertones paired with fast paced flickering stabs of energy.
