VA052 Avatism - Adamant Remixes I

Vinyl release date: 25.11.
Beatport release date: 09.12.

So here I am, happily an album older, introducing the first of Adamant's remix packages.

Since the whole project was, generally-speaking, "a personal affair" and a lot of the album was not necessarily "club-ready" (does that even make sense?), we invited our friends on board to do the dirty deeds for me and rework my sounds into something normal people can dance to.

First up are Mind Against. I've known these guys for a long time, and despite them being somewhat "new" to the scene, I clearly remember them fiddling around with cheap cracked software like the rest of us Milanese idiots around the same time. Matured into true synth magicians, they've been years in the making and, if you ask me, it shows.

Next is Alex Smoke, who I believe needs no introduction. Probably one of my biggest influences, I have been a fan for ages and he is the reason I discovered Vakant. In case you've been living under a rock, after a little break he's now back with a bang, responsible for probably one of the year's best LPs (as Wraetlic), an outstanding EP on the legendary R&S and now this. I've had the pleasure of finally meeting and hanging out with Alex a few times while we were both living in Berlin and I have to say he's exactly as awesome. His remix totally destroys my original, which I thought sounded "fat" but now sounds like a skinny girl in Barbie clothes in comparison.

Lake People (actually just one Lake Person, Martin Enke) is another really nice guy who just happens to make great music. After months of people telling me I should check his stuff out, mentioning we had a lot of things (sound-wise) in common, I had the pleasure of playing after him in Paris. His liveset totally rocked the place and I've been a fan since, so it was a pleasure to have him on board.

Last but not least, new Vakant boys Sons of Tiki round off the package with a club-oriented version of "Blackened".

I guess that's all. I'm not very good at this marketing hype thing, and upon re-reading this it actually made little sense, nor is it particularly inviting. Whatever the case I hope you enjoy listening, playing or partying to this as much as we did making it: I assure you the music is better than this writing.

Skryptöm celebrates 15 years with a series of four collab EPs. Each artist of the label invited one of their favorite producers for a unique collaboration.

A lot has happened over the past 15 years, new musical styles, switch from vinyl to digital and streams... changes that Antoine Husson (aka Electric Rescue) has welcomed with the same passion since the label creation in 2007. The french imprint has turned into a family of artists and projects, expanding into different musical styles, developing older members and welcoming new ones.

All artists spent days together jamming in the Skryptöm Collective project on various occasions in Caen, Nantes and Morocco before the pandemic. More recently the frequent Skryptöm parties at Nexus and Km25 (Paris) helped bond all artists together.

With this family spirit in mind, all artists had to feature on the compilation and the collabs were a fun way to welcome friends, mentors and inspirations.

Caribou - Can't Do Without You (Tale Of Us & Mano Le Tough Remix)

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

We welcome Rob Hes back for his third EP on Tronic. This time he is delivering three peak time tracks all with different moods. “Raised By Another” focuses on a hypnotic analog sequence that delivers the goods every time when played out. Simple and very effective. “Battlefield” is a more straight forward musical techno for peak time business whereas “Failure” is slightly more minimal but still very effective on the floor. Please try these tracks out on play them LOUD.

Premiere: Matt Lange 'Ripples'

Darius Syrossian let's the beat hit em where it hurts with his tasty 3 tracker debut, 'Tobasco EP', for I'm A House Gangster. 'Dombak' offers centre stage to a burly portion of chunky House beats, a squealing Sax stab and backed with a classic vocal hook to set the floor ablaze with euphoria. 'Body Talk' is a cross pollination of Tech and Old School Hip-House vibes burdened with pressure beats and a dark bass throb that underpin a host of 'now das wassup!' vocal hooks. Finishing off this tasty package and armed with a driving groove is the mighty 'Zaptrak', on which Darius treats us to a little early 90's nostalgia with proper old school rave breakdown, before slapping us hard with his fresh beat wizardry.

"I wanted to make something that is all about drums and the rhythm and one which is funky but with a heavy driving kick drum throughout the track, something for Sneak to play as well... especially for him.." - Darius Syrossian

Pure and unadulterated House music has always been Darius Syrossian's pre-occupation in place of passing fads or zeitgeist defining trends. Tirelessly touring, remixing, producing as well as taking on new musical commitments has seen Darius catapulted from ‘the worker’s champion’ in Ibiza to an international brand that is a symbol of non-conformist DJing and a musical pigeon hole destroyer all rolled into one.  He teamed up with the Sankeys brand to relaunch the huge Tribal Sessions night where Darius’ position as Musical Director and main resident DJ saw it instantly become one of the best parties on the island in its first year. The annual clubbing awards in Ibiza voted it best night at Sankeys and Darius as best House DJ as well as DJ Mag's Best of British award for best resident DJ of 2014. This lead to a relaunch in Manchester and saw every show become a sell out. The same year his debut album hit number 1 on the album sales chart, which included 16 brand new productions mixed live at Sankeys Manchester on 1 of the CD’s. 

2015 is proving to be another huge year for Darius Syrossian, he's now played pretty much every major festival in the world, he really is non-stop and one who obviously loves what he's doing. Being an artist to stand up for what he believes in, and not one to be bullied by any club or promoter, in true House Gangster style Syrossian let the music do the talking after his public split with Sankeys this spring. This strong move did not slow him down a single beat as he has just completed a very successful summer with sell out shows around the world and top notch gigs in Ibiza including the Space opening, Kehakuma at Space, HYTE at Amnesia, and also his own brand new party & residency for DO NOT SLEEP with his brothers in arms Sidney Charles & Sante, which proved to be a roaring success!

With new music forthcoming on Hector Couto's Roush label, Sante's Avotre label, as well as launching his own DO NOT SLEEP label, he is most definitely one who is Hustling for House. Having Darius part of the IAHG family on DJ Sneak's ‘I'm A House Gangster’ label is a great treat! Darius describes his House Gangster sounds as "REAL house music, no fad nonsense, its a timeless sound, house and techno will always be here, yet all the other fads that come and get big will eventually go, House Gangster sound is the sound of real House music that will never sound out of date and will always be relevant."

DARIUS SYROSSIAN | ZAPTRAK | I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER

A1. N1L – Ice Cage

"It's very direct, danceable club music, anchored stylistically between Electro, Techno and Industrial/NewWave, strongly influenced by '80s acts Liaisons Dangereuses, CH BB, sporadically, DAF and the Consumed /Concept period of Richie Hawtin." is how Hanno Leichtmann describes his new project Gesetz Der Oktaven. "The name 'Gesetz Der Oktaven' was chosen because I wanted something very German sounding, as we say 'sperrig', something technical, scientific. All the track titles are very old skool or obsolete studio/audio terms. "I wanted a completely new set-up, so I got a large Soundtracs desk from the 80s with 16 channels and, crucially 6 Aux Sends for effects." He continues, "The large number of aux sends was essential for the project. I used a drum machine, a MiniMoog sequenced by a TB 303, a vintage Drum Synth and six 6 effect combinations for the delay / reverb tracks. All very old-skool and in real time with no plugins. It took months of trial and error but the result is a very beautiful high-quality vintage studio sound."

Gesetz Der Oktaven - Verpolung - Third Ear Recordings

An intense introspection of sound deconstructionism and spacial dissonance presented in this 4 track (plus 2 lock grooves) EP entitled Nonharmonic Beautifault. 

The A Side is introduced with the track 'Blank Hand', a sludge fuelled walk into dusty audio bites and asthmatic rhythms, topped with screaming hoovers and TV static that at once builds up, collapses into beautiful cacophony. Leading us into the 'Body Molecule' - A rushing pad and sparkling percussion pinned to a rolling kick pattern that drives this track toward a central point of attacking synths and swarming soundscape. The run out locked groove features a deep distorted kick that loops into infinity. 

The other side starts with 'Angular Beautifault'. Acidic Rhythms and Buzz Saw Synths all washed together into a shimmering reverberated cavern that explodes with high powered clap patterns and bubbling 303 lines. Following this we have 'The Burin' - an uncompromising, high paced assault of power kicks and slanted percussion. Incessantly driving and unyielding towards the final lock groove of distorted sub loop. 

Nonharmonic Beautifault represents a shift in Positive Centre's work that aims beyond the delicate ambience into harder and darker sound territories. 

Nonharmonic Beautifault EP will be released on 12" vinyl and digital on February 19.

Slam/@paragraph | Significs EP
[SOMA459D]

1. Structure
2. Significs
3. Functional

Slam deliver yet another on point release for Soma as the duo drop the Signifies EP. Stuart and Orde have been on fire of late with not only their releases doing the damage but with a string of gigs across the continent and their own Pressure events in their hometown of Glasgow going from strength to strength, the pair seem unstoppable at the moment. This latest EP once again shows great depth in their production going from hard- hitting techno to stripped back and jacked up machine funk.

Structure kicks things off and Slam state their intent on this one as one mean sounding hook plays the main role alongside fairly punishing drums. Title track Signifies is up next with yet more intelligently made patterns used a little more subtly but with no less impact. Functional closes out the EP and takes things a little deeper with is simple yet effect and pumped percussion striding across a tweeked out vocal sample.
With this huge release, Slam once again maintain their claim as being one of the most innovative acts in electronic music right now.
