An explosion of African vocal chants, ontop of pulsating accordion and syncopated percussion.

 ‘Satisfied’ is a slice of sophisticated dance music that nails the sweet spot between headphones and dancefloor. It sees Catching Flies focusing his attention on the dancefloor for the first time with stunning results – ‘Satisfied’ is highly textured, deeply melodic and effortlessly marries live instrumentation (guitars, harps, a string quartet…) with warm electronics. The single consists of a three-track package, including a more immediate Edit and an ‘Ambient Reprise’ which serves as a hazy recollection of the night before. As Catching Flies explains: ‘the tune has so many different layers and tracks (186 to be precise!) and went through various different versions over time… so I wanted to celebrate that.’

Satisfied (Ambient Reprise)

Release Title:  	The Sinner
Artist: 			Bongbeck & Braunholz
Label: 			Ton Töpferei
Catalogue No.: 	TT018
Release-Date: 	16.11.2018

„With their first collaboration Bongbeck and Braunholz open the curtains of a stained window, peering into the gloom beyond. This EP has Bongbeck’s breakbeat facette meet the creative tabula rasa of Braunholz. With an apocalyptic vibe provided by Braunholz and an eerie break-beat finish by Bongbeck, "The Sinner" EP opens with a subliminal, still destructive force. Bongbeck lets this force break free with his own interpretation of that gloom, actively alternating between different rhythmic moods. "Alter Ego" plays out the EP, bringing old school instruments and an analogue taste to the table.“

Influenced by the social and political climate of the modern world, the 11-track LP is inspired by the artist’s acute awareness of society’s dependence on technology, critiquing the social media bubble responsible for the civic polarisation seen globally. Taking the listener on an immersive, emotional journey, Perspectives is filled with dark yet hopeful compositions, each representing their own personal story. The album title refers to a problem we all face: having differing perspectives on the same situation, which in turn leads to conflict.

Encouraging listeners to spend less time behind computer screens and more time outside in nature, many of the album’s samples were recorded from MOTSA’s own environment. “Differing perspectives on issues is something we are regularly confronted with in our lives - the fact that this often then leads to conflict is something I have felt closely in my own life. I feel it is a problem that is growing in an ever more egocentric world” MOTSA explains “Maybe if we can develop more empathy as a species we can grow and reverse this trend. The album is a collection of little stories and reflections of how I perceive our world and the problems we face."

Everything from the sounds of children playing in the sands of a Balearic beach to crickets in the grass and bells recorded from his father’s apartment in Moscow are utilised, with the producer also recording and sampling his own voice to create distant, choir-like melodies.

The record marks MOTSA’s fourth release since 2016’s Petricolour - named after the label he set up to release it. The EP’s lead track ‘Colours’ has amassed over 4 million Spotify streams to date, while his following single “Falling” received support from Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6. In the three years since, the artist has embarked on a world tour, playing shows in South Africa, Mexico, Portugal, Poland and his native Austria as his stock continued to rise.

MOTSA’s signature sound – a soulful yet driven harmonic blend – is present throughout Perspectives, continuing to propel the multi-talented artist to the highest acclaim into 2019 and beyond.

Janus Rasmussen - 14 (Ryan Davis Rework)

Nuage returns with a follow up to his single “There’s No End in the Beginning” on House of Youth Records. This time, he's presenting the “Longest Hour” EP with songs written by him and his friends. “There's a few different moods in the EP, though it's not quite as cold and melancholic. This time, we went for something brighter and softer. Some of the tracks have been written in early 2017; I thought to put then on my WILD album but decided to keep them aside and use them for live performances. "Longest Hour” is from my studio time in Saint Petersburg in 2018, and its production was deeply influenced by dub techno. “There's No End in The Beginning” is a special work for HY, written over a 3 day studio session in Sochi."

Alps 2 are an outfit with pedigree: as performers they’ve toured with Maribou State; as individuals, they have released on Ralph Lawson’s 2020 Vision and Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried Records. And as a collective, they’ve launched Selby Soul, receiving support from Radio 6 Music. Now, Ad Hoc Records proudly presents Alps 2 on Burnt EP, alongside Manchester legend, Goddard, on remix duties.
 
 
 
Burnt EP is a showcase of ambient mastery - a wistful folktronic collage akin to the mellower stylings of Four Tet, Seb Wildblood and Ross From Friends. Listen for an eternally poised array of mesmeric shuffles and eclectic vocal chops that hint at its creators’ genre-skipping technical expertise.
 
Slipping between states of rhythmic formality (Duck Tape) and freeform soundscapes (Empting), Burnt EP vibrates on multiple levels. Threads of hip hop and lo-fi house (Burnt) embroider the tracklisting, uncovering a finessed sound that is at once both mellowed and full of intent.

Dutch artist Baril teases with a new single 'Lockdown', a heartfelt electronic track that lands on February 26th on Intercept.

https://intercept.bandcamp.com/track/lockdown

Last year, Baril's debut six track EP One More Rush won plenty of support from both high profile DJs and dancers in the know. The melodic master has also remixed David Kochs and the result was one of the standout tracks in Keinemusik's Essential Mix. It showed that he is a mature musical craftsman with the skills to write deft but driving tracks which marry real feelings with lush soundscapes and smart samples.

'Lockdown' perfectly captures the feelings of forlornness we have all experienced in the last year. It's a richly layered track that drives forwards but never resolves. Angelic vocal harmonies float high above delicate pads while booming bass and crispy breakbeats church down low. Powerful yet dreamy, it's a track to get lost in as you gaze out into the distance.

This is another gorgeous electronic track with perfect hooks that builds excitement for the full length album Baril is currently working on.
