Longtime Berghain resident, Figure Music founder and Berlin techno stalwart Len Faki is known both for his discerning, impeccable taste, so when we heard that he had agreed to remix French artist DNGLS for the enigmatic Anemone Music label, we were understandably enthused.

What Len ended up turning in, however, was much more than simply a remix, but, as the label calls it a “whole new realm of possibilities” – three different versions of DNGLS‘ “Hooly” – and we’ve got an exclusive listen below.

“When I heard the track first time, I instantly loved this special melody a lot,” Len tells us. “It was a pleasure to work on it, also because it is a little different than my other productions and a great experience to work in this direction. In the end, this is how the three different versions were formed, mirroring three different club moments. The first one is more like an energetic moment on the floor, while the ‘Tool’ is clubbier, more subtle, focused on the late night club moments. The ‘Beatless’ version is to listen to outside the club, or starting/ending the night.”

Ancient Resistance EP

Format: 12"
Record Label: Subsequent Records LTD 
Catalog#: SUB.04LTD
Style: Techno
Country: Argentina
Release date on vinyl: 2016 - July 4th

|Recording Info - Subsequent 04 LTD – Ancient Resistance EP 

This album contains four tracks, based on visceral techno oriented dance floor, with knowledge about analog synthesizers, FM synthesis, and 909 processed drums. Strained ambiences and uptight drones in the air floating with an true essence followed by the most percussive factors, make this work a purist symbol of Techno. A tribute to the evolution dedicated to recreating the universe with his art.

Because Luis Ruiz is Non-Aligned to the impure industry and does not adapt to these times of exacerbated consumerism in a musical trendy tyranny. Spirit musical rebellion. 
In total opposition of the artistic degradation, and total resistance against the tumult where the current goes in this age of chaos on Techno music, it is necessary to destroy for then build. Total war of the instincts.
Luis Ruiz chooses the underground exile, getting out of all cultural poisoning that’s been emerging from contemporary music.
Continuing with his own authentic and personal musical style. Long live to the ancient resistance of the divine creation.

Equipment used on this EP: On studio, Akai MPC 5000 (arrangement and workstation), Akai MPC 1000 (sequences, programs, multitrack), Roland TR8 (tr909 clone), Cyclone TT303 (sequencing), Korg MS20, Arp Odyssey, Yamaha DX200, Korg Electribe RMKII, Soundcraft EFX12. Other gear recorded: MFB 522, MFB Tanzbaer, Waldorf Blofeld .

Yan Cook - Loophole EP [PRRUKBLK013]

Jacobin editor Peter Frase examines the future beyond climate change, capitalism and other disasters, and finds tomorrow's fights for survival, prosperity and stability rooted in the same conflict - class struggle for production and power.

Peter is author of the new book "Four Futures: Life After Capitalism" part of the Jacobin series from Verso Books: https://www.versobooks.com/books/1847-four-futures

On climate change, automation, and the possibilities of life beyond capitalism.

In the seventh episode of the Climate History Podcast, Professor Dagomar Degroot (Georgetown University) interviews Professor Bathsheba Demuth (Brown University) about her experiences in a changing Arctic, and her forthcoming book on the history of communism and capitalism across the Bering Strait.

Capitalism, Communism, and Indigenous Communities in a Changing Arctic

This week's Global Research News Hour, we consider the possibility that some of the most prominent climate campaigns on the planet, including the Greta Thunberg-led Climate Strikes are in fact being co-opted by the world's most prominent financial elites, via vehicles like large environmental NGOs, to serve a pre-existing agenda having more to do with expanding capitalism than reversing or mitigating climate change. Independent investigative journalist Cory Morningstar is our guest for the hour, and she expands on the theme of her recent series of articles: "The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent."
