Rishi K. is back on RMR with his "Unity Gain EP" including the title track "Unity Gain" which was previously featured on our ADE 2013 Sampler and "Holes", featured on this year's Miami WMC 2014 Sampler.

It's now time to bring these lovely tunes back on their own deserved EP with some fresh new remixes by our crew of mad music makers. Starting with label boss-man BiG AL who takes "Holes" onto a Deep Tech Dub Journey, then comes Greenfish with his signature deep and smooth sounds, newcomer Evgeny showcases his skills with us for the first time, then the much loved Tamandua Twist who debuted with an awesome Original track back in March and now delivers an uplifting housey remix with his special sound and last but certainly not least, our good friends Analog Trip and Pete Bellis who also debut with us and deliver the slammers. 

We're pretty sure that there's something in this pack for everyone and for all occasions and we hope that you'll enjoy it as much as we did putting it together.

In the two years since his last original outing on the label, the unforgettable “Beautiful Life”, Martin Roth has developed his deep hypnotic sounds on labels like Poesie Musik and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat. He returns to Anjunadeep with “Mel / Maya”, two dark, techno influenced gems showcasing Martin’s ear for spellbinding club music. 

“Mel” is a surging monster of a track, driven by huge rumbling low end beneath subtle swirling melodies. Combining dark, techy elements with  classic progressive textures, “Mel” is a fine example of the current underground sound in Martin’s hometown of Berlin.

A stand out on Anjunadeep 06, “Maya” is another moody piece of house music, primed for a 4AM dancefloor. Big thudding percussion masks a gentle melody that ebbs and flows into an epic breakdown, packed full of atmospheric rising pads.

On remix duties are two emerging talents Peter Pardeike and Whomi. Tackling “Mel” is Whomi, who has made waves recently with impressive remixes of Ultraista and Soul Button. He takes a minimal approach, building from murky beginnings into an incredible crescendo throughout the breakdown. A serious dancefloor weapon in the right hands!

Following a hugely supported release on Innervisions with Marcus Worgull, fellow Berliner Peter Pardeike turns his hand to “Maya" in distinctive fashion. Stripping back to focus on bassline and piano, the track takes a leftfield turn into arpeggio territory. Another memorable moment on a highly anticipated comeback EP.

ARTIST: Marc Poppcke
TITLE: 35
LABEL: Crossfrontier Audio
CAT #: cfacd002
RELEASE DATE: 04.05.2015

‘Marc Poppcke’ is a name synonymous with melodic, uplifting productions; a true DJ’s DJ with a deep love of four-to-the-floor electronic music, charming dance floors with his well-versed and impeccable track selections.
2015 marks not one, but several milestones for the Berlin resident; celebrating a solid 15 years behind the decks, 10 years since making the move to the clubbing capital of the world to pursue his passion, and turning the bright, young age of 35. With these in mind, Marc reflects on what has been an incredible career with the release of his first artist album, simply titled ‘35’.
With a string of successful releases under his belt, both on his own label ‘Crossfrontier Audio’, as well as Sudbeat, Last Night On Earth, Freerange, and Get Physical to name a few, the message behind ‘35’ is simple: an album showcasing the different moods and moments of a club night; where warm up tracks tease and build toward pumping peak time floor fillers, holding for a while before gently easing into after hour delights.
For Marc, this album is more than just a selection of club tracks, but a true labour of passion and love; a deeply personal project that pays tribute to all the events that have lead him to this very moment.

After releasing his sophomore long player 'We Walked Home Together’ through Fiakun, El_Txef_A returns with a series of remix packs on his own newly created label Forbidden Colours. With this second remix pack the label pursuits its aim to be a home for El_Txef_A’s musical adventures and a way of sharing his vision.

Bedouin wraps the EP up with a mystic and shamanistic feeling on their remix of 'The Love We Lost feat. Woolfy, which we exclusively premiere. Additionally, we caught up with El_Txef_A for a quick chat about Forbidden Colours, Bedouin, touring, and more.

Isolée's long and celebrated discography has taken him from seminal microhouse compositions, through lush, deep and dubby productions, to the melodically rich sound design of 2013 mindblowing Allowance. Any of this would be a tough act to follow, but the seasoned Hamburg talent takes it in his stride once again, looking firmly towards the future while paying tribute to all chapters of the past with the brand new two-tracker, Floripa EP. The title track Floripa' begins to take its form around a thick and dub-drenched bassline that moves and morphs with fluidity, as tiny percussive elements orbit around an instant-classic synth melody that appeals directly to the heartstrings. The track's midsection showcases airy, spatial sound wizardry, with shimmering cosmic riffs on the core melodic phrase that cement its anthemic status, the latter third then subtly shifts gears again, amplifying the bottom end, and rooting it into a deep, urgent groove. B-side Favouride' begins to unfold with metallic percussive accents and spectral, voice-like synths that immediately establish the track's deep blue mood. A minor-key bass chord and windswept pads maintain the atmosphere throughout the track's mid-tempo, slow-burn progression. Smooth and sleekly produced, yet introspective and complex, the multi layers of rhythm and melody combine here for extra emotional impact.

Bobby Nourmand : " S M O K I N' J O E " (Radio Edit)


Superconcious present a further evolution for Melbourne producer András. Looney house recorded with DIY immediacy, this fresh 5 tracker takes subtle cues from Cajmere, Pal Joey and lesser known 90s Australian cuts culled from the 3RRR FM library. 'T.N.T.F.' was the fastest track András had even written until revving the Pajero offroad and clocking 138 bpm on 'Always Pumping'. On the two mixes of 'Gold Coast', he finds heaven in a tourist hell, making hotel room acid before hitting the balcony for some cool breakbeat over a Bacardi and coke. The absurdity continues with the horny-Australiana disco of 'Soy Boy', rounding off a welcome return to his inimitable solo work.

András - Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise Mix)

The group consisting of Musumeci, Francesco Sorrentino, Simone Carpenzano and Paolo Lauretta have brought forward giant, majestic synths, agonisingly prolonged builds and drops that are capable of both melting faces and hearts simultaneously. 

Essential listening for anyone who wants a peak-time cut destined to get your crowd going.

Artist: BLANCAh
Title: Soturno
Label: Steyoyoke
Format: Digital
Release Date: March 21st, 2016
Cover Art: Algarin
Cat No: SYYK045

Following up from her ‘Birds’ EP, BLANCAh has once again extended her skills and delivered yet another well rounded release. Titled ‘Soturno’, this all original three track EP reflects BLANCAh’s versatility and strong sense for self-expression. In its entirety, ‘Soturno’ will touch the furthest corners of your mind and embrace every curve of your soul. 
The title track ‘Soturno’ certainly wastes no time and immediately ushers you toward a one way excursion of intensity. Eerie synths, ghastly bass lines and sneering high hats carve out the depths of this track, yet it also embellishes some rather quirky soundscapes and obscurities, all of which highlight BLANCAh’s own love for all things weird and wonderful. 
Riding in upon a myriad of percussion and bold drum layers, is the EP’s second track ‘Arestas’. Accompanied with flurries of contemplative piano chords and a surging urgency, this track generates an extremely powerful energy. ‘Arestas’ can best be described as a musical treasure chest, overflowing with an abundance of hidden beauty. 
‘Ode a Um Corpo Imperfeito’ is the icing on the cake for ‘Soturno’ and plays a key role in transforming this EP into a masterstroke of self-reflection and artistry. Possessing clean basslines and an array of simple yet profound percussive elements, this tracks vibe seems to march and meander with a mighty presence, skulking with a severity that adds life to every chord, beat and thrum.

Super talented Swiss producer Jeremy Vieira is known as Several Definitions. His fresh sound means another step in the contemporary electronic music scene. His sound is hard to get a clear definition, it rides between tech-house and trance.
 
The pack opens with Square, where Jeremy presents a unique and new style offering fresh proposes to a track. He only needs a few items to get the best result. Why Eat a Super Jam offers a catchy voice as a hook and some amazing crazy synths in an unpredictable way. British rising star Ten Ven gives the best on remix duties for a special version of this.

We close with the song that gives the name to the release. It shows the sweet and sensual voice of La Meduza, taking you to a secret and recondite little island in Ibiza. This track Feed Us represents one sound and definition of this artist: powerful melodies and amazing treatment of the emotive vocals. Also a Dub Version is presented as a gift.

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

Patrick Bishop - Zwei (Monumental Men Remix)

After all the Smoke & Ashes that was launched in our BeenTouched series, Pete returns to Sincopat now in the main and front line. Trying Not To the almighty Gabriel Ananda on remix duties.

Pete continues exploring the sound and giving emotion to his music today in form of three new tracks full of soul and heart. Trying Not To is a tight huge track that will burn the most demanding places. Master Gabriel Ananda presents an exquisite version rich in details and getting a fantastic balance between deep and tech. We knew he is a quality stamp. 

Graphium follows the futuristic and tasteful line of Electronic Music. Sinister and dark voices for a devastating effect on the dancefloor. Me My Molly shows Pete’s more elegant stuff. He goes a bit deeper with sensual melodies but for sure also a great pick of the night. But, as Pete says, let the music speak by itself.

Obsessed with mixing bass drums, recording percussion, and sampled instruments, Italian producer Fango strives to be a virtuous perfectionist on any production within his reach.

Fango's newest EP has already received strong report, in which it was already spun by Gilles Peterson via his weekly Worldwide show on BBC, supported by French legend Laurent Garnier as well as Dixon, Mano Le Tough and Jackmaster. His approach to creating the EP has been regarded as an "a long insular trip", where he reflects "down into the depths of his own soul".

Tracklist:  
A1 / 1. Stimming – Alpe Lusia (Robag’s Bodelshwing Sovar NB) (08:34 min) 
B1 / 2. Stimming – Alpe Lusia (Acid Pauli & NU Remix) (07:07 min)  
3. (Digital Bonus) Stimming - Alpe Lusia (Solomun's Ring-the-Bell Remix) ( 08:56 min)

Spring 2016 saw the release of Stimming’s fourth full length album “Alpe Lusia”, which was named after a remote little alpine hut in northern Italy, in which he had secluded himself to work on his LP for a full month, all by himself.  From the title track of his LP emanates his following release on Diynamic, the Alpe Lusia Remixes, and the remixing protagonists are none other than Robag Wruhme, long time collaborateurs Acid Pauli & NU and last but not least Solomun.   

First off is Pampa mainstay Robag Wruhme, whose take on Stimming’s “Alpe Lusia” starts off as a dark and brooding tech house gem. Later, when you have made your way through its rough outer shell, peeling off the hard claps, it shows its soft core, with gentle pads caressing the arrangement.  

Acid Pauli & NU deliver a deep and driving, almost haunting reinterpretation of “Alpe Lusia", with a thumping bass and ethereal vocals that are hypnotizing.  

Finally, Solomun adds a remix that reminds you of the rabbit hole in Alice's Wonderland: the longer you dig, the deeper you get, and the more fantastic is what you experienece.

The original version is the only track on the album without a real groove, which is why Stimming chose precisely this track to be remixed - to see what the others would do about that. Now it is fair to say that all three remixes have succeeded at this task.

Stimming - Alpe Lusia (Robag's Bodelshwing Sovar NB) - SNIPPET

Petar Dundov crafts music that transports listeners to other realms, fusing the functionality of techno with the mysticism of ambient. 

His latest full-length on the label ‘At The Turn Of Equilibrium’ came out last month featuring 10-minute spidery groove ‘The Lattice’ which is being released as a single later this month backed with a remix from Frank Wiedemann. 

The German producer, also known as one half of Âme and co-founder of Innervisions, holds a similar reputation for making soaring house and techno with a spooky edge. He chops up the winding original and repackages it into a tighter framework with spacey synth stabs and a more prominent kick. 

We’re delighted to be premiering ‘The Lattice (Frank Wiedemann remix)' above.


Premiere: 'The Lattice' (Frank Wiedemann Remix)

Nena & Westbam - Oldschool Baby (Piano Mix)

„Amygdala“ is Koze’s Sgt. Pepper. It’s an unreal 78-minute walk through Koze’s mind, complete with moods, intensities, sounds and scenes as yet unheard of. It feels more like a double album, urging you to turn over and change the records time and time again. "Amygdala" amazes by its sheer musicality, deepness, and its  ethereal sound design; it’s a kaleidoscope of a great variety of soundscapes where you keep discovering new nuances even after listening to it a thousand times. Nobody else could unite artists like Caribou and Dirk von Lotzow, Hildegard Knef and Mathew Dear, Ada and Milosh in such an organic way and on one and the same record as Koze did. There’s never been anything like it.

He weaves new garments around the a capella parts of his guests, garments that only he can tailor, and that’s how the album, for all the diversity of its artists, sounds consistently homogeneous and in the true style of Kosi Kos. It’s all about “the courage to dare”, about letting voices resonate undisguised in all their authentic peculiarity.  About creating  truthfulness.

How much can you cut out, when does the flame die down? On the other hand, under which circumstances could it even burn for ever?

The album, which in large parts has been composed in a Spanish fishing village, starts off with Balinese gamelan sounds from which a relaxed discoid bass peels off, caressed by mystic backwards basslines, balafon resonances and slide guitar chords. You can hear the ceaseless chirping, twittering and cheeping from all the treetops of Koze's exotic jungle.
