With his shift to a more deeper sound in the past few years @DeejayAstral has crafted a dark and brooding style reminiscent of earlier house and techno. On “Duality” from his new Pack the Pipe split EP on @whos-susan with @Fede-Lng, the Berlin based producer creates a moody atmosphere with elements from both the UK and German scenes. 

The bassline drifts and drifts across the track, leaving space for the warmth and pulse of the kick and hi-hats. Over time it loosens more and finds moments to fill the space in between other sounds with its depth. The main sample builds slowly with a tunnel reverb that bleeds out behind the drums and melodies while vinyl grooves and noise move in and out of the left and right channels of the stereo field. While the layering and sounds present interesting sonic palettes, it comes as no surprise from a DJ known to play with the likes of Baltra and Mall Grab.
 
All the while the main vocal sample slides in and around the other elements of the track. As is tradition within lo-fi house tracks the sample manages to evoke both somber and uplifting emotions all at once. It matches the brooding feel of the bassline while also reaching the heights of the main refrain. With subtle reverb giving it the sense of desperation and tension it cuts through the mix and compliments the songs main melodic presence. As he teases another drop at the end of the track you’re unsure of whether the person talking to themselves in the bathroom mirror made it out to conquer their adversity.

“Duality” is one of two tracks by Deejay Astral from the upcoming Pack the Pipe EP with Fede Lng. Out 1.15.18.

You might know Shedbug from his vinyl only outfit Salt Mines that he manages together with Rudolf C, all the way from Australia. Or maybe from the many EPs he's already released on various labels. It's down-under that he meets Lobster Theremin bossman Jimmy Asquith for a series of gigs and that idea for the australian producer to release an EP on the mastodon of lo-fi music. Today we have the privilege of sharing one track of the EP with you. Let's start at the beginning. The 5 tracks vinyl starts with 2, a three minutes long ambient piece with echoey bleeps and a lot of low-pass filter movement throughout the piece. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, the party is about to start.... more on :  https://boltingbits.com/shedbug-for-you-lobster-theremin/

After the stomper that was the ‘Guardian of Forever’ EP, Detroit legend Rick Wade returns to bastion of lofi house ‘Shall Not Fade’ with another four sweet and soulful deep house cuts on his new ‘Passion Play’ Ep.

B1’s Inner Most, brings the darkness of 6am club workouts straight to your ears. Trippy 909s and swelling string pads evolve into beautiful rhodes chords layered over a smooth baseline. Wade comes in with a lovely bit of piano and string work that lifts the track into the realms of the deepest ecstasy. The track is dripping with moody atmosphere and that signature Detroit sound.

The rest of the EP also captures that classic Detroit sound with A1’s title track ‘Passion Play’ bringing an uplifting chord run across some bumping drums and deft vocal work. A2 feels like the darker side of the title track, with ‘Oh Yeah’ using similar vocal, drum and harmonic elements to craft a more introspective and melancholic atmosphere.

B2’s Zero Ningen is the EP biggest departure, bringing disco congas and a chopped Japanese vocal to create a psychedelic house number, with a gentle lo-fi piano melody holding the track down. If J Dilla made house instead of Hip Hop, lived in Japan, and enjoyed the recreational use of assorted hallucinogens, maybe he’d make something that sounds a little like this.

Another great EP from the masterful Rick Wade, proving once again why Shall Not Fade is one of the strongest labels in circulation. The Passion Play EP is out digitally and on Wax July 6th.

Yes, One Hundred! Wow! Morris Audio’s 100th release is a milestone for one of the most productive labels from Switzerland. Morris Audio started 18 years ago, the sublabel Morris Audio Citysport 15 years ago. With a total of more than 150 releases, the labels have been making their marks by presenting different types of electronic music, from techno to minimal to deep house with everything in between. Combining established producers and youngsters, Morris Audio has an impressive artist roaster. Remember the likes of Dub Taylor, Jackmate, Hakan Lidbo, Burnski, Till von Sein, Kris Wadsworth, Iron Curtis, Oli Furness, Dash Dude, Tom Ellis&Leif or Brame just to name a few? It has been “club and home entertainment” for years and we celebrate this 100th release with two parts of well crafted tech/house tunes. Part 1 is the more techy one and features Morris fella Iron Curtis, new signing Anna Wall & Corbi, and swiss boys Replika and Elvis Cassetta. Collectors item!

Nah Mean? - Thunder Dub
Say Less Records - SL033
Release Date: 21.08.18

New adventures means new grooves for the founder of Say Less Records. Digging in crates during his travels to Portugal, Amsterdam, and Belgium the label boss discovered inspiration in the form of minimal house and techno leading to the creation of his newest EP ‘Azul’.  
The first track ‘Spaced’ is a great way to start off a minimal set. The beginning of the track has a nice progression with a room filling low end and intoxicating drum patterns which comes to a peak with atmospheric synth work.   
The second track “Thunder Dub” is a dubbier cut and is carried by deep analog chord stabs and a heavy low end that is mixed proper for any club system. Focusing heavily on the intricacy of the drums this one blends well with other minimal tracks

PREMIERE: Nah Mean? - Thunder Dub [Say Less]

"prior to 2000, switzerland had a lot of chocolate, a lot of rolexes, and a lot of foreign peoples' fortunes - what it didn't have were enough good techno labels. then came stefan riesen, who founded the morris audio label and slowly began releasing fantastic microhouse, minitechno, dubby 4/4, and heavily processed dancefloor jams."   xlr8r magazine
