RA New Tracks: December 2018

Anogical Force

Everything in this song was made from Childish Gambino saying "Eh". Yes, even the bass drum and other percussion.

This mashup has taken the longest of all of my projects, totalling as nine hours work over five days. Most of that time was spent figuring out the melody, bass line and backing chords all by ear.

From experience, I can say that it helps to slow down the original song so you can pick up notes or a rhythm you miss at normal playback speed.

02 - Zoë Mc Pherson - Komusar (N1L Blood Red Moon Remix)

The EP begins with the ambient drone of ‘Approaching Land’. Dense and multilayered, its mature and subtle. The tribal undertones of ‘Singular’ soon make way for modular synths that mutate throughout. ‘Thinsulate’ is driven by a bongo-led percussion and dub FX. Thoughtful and deep to begin, it soon transforms into something quite different. Rounding out the EP is ‘Fingers Crossed’ an acid-flecked peak-timer which will no doubt cause absolute carnage. ‘I’ve been playing Fingers Crossed for a while now and it's a highlight in my sets, its hypnotic which helps you forget about time, it’s perfect” – Anja.

“Aerial / Paperbags” is the second EP from Scintii, aka Taiwanese producer/vocalist Stella Chung. The music is inspired by travels, dreams, stories and films of unsaid emotions. The production merges her influences of club music, memories of her father playing classical music while driving, as well as focusing on exploring her vocal abilities. The release also marks her first time working closely with another producer, Alexis Chan aka Soda Plains.

Tracklist:

1. Prologue
2. Deux
3. Terminals
4. Aerial / Paperbags

Scintii

Taiwanese producer/vocalist Scintii (aka Stella Chung), bears a diverse background in both studio composition and pop music which she studied whilst residing in London for several years.

Since her move to Shanghai in 2017, Scintii has become a core member of the thriving club scene in the city. She has played for i-D, Diskotopia on RBMA Radio Tokyo, NTS & Radar Radio. She recently played a number of London shows, including events at Southbank Centre, and headlining at Corsica Studios.

Mica, her first release, is inspired by the form and body of minerals, pensively underpinning dark, elusive, cut-up pop vocals with crystalline synths and rhythms from UK grime to the dembow for an enrapturing and refreshing sound. Her second EP Aerial / Paperbags is due late November this year, along with a few vocal collaborations with high profile artists.

A1. In Half Light
A2. In Half Light (Lucy Remix)
B1. Three Fates 
B2. Three Fates (SHXCXCHCXSH Remix)

Comprised of energetic expression and hell bent on immersion, In Half Light is an introspective soundscape of vibrant and effectual techno, characterised by its cohesive energies and earthy essence. With deep chords riding throughout, it descends you into a land time forgot and music never knew.

Lucy brings a signature of sound conveyed through an energetic palette of space and assertion. Intense and intimate rolling percussion carries the body of his remix through a slow and tripped-out synthetic body of keys.

The B side introduces Three Fates, a gripping recital of blurring synths and coiled-spring tension. The many colours of sound engulf the listener, gradually building to a stirring triumph of well paced electronic music.

Conceived for the dance floor, SHXCXCHCXSH brings a militantly autonomous track of self assured, brawling techno power. A grinding hook lays centre fold to this release, leaving in its wake a restless energy from the dark end of the street. A no-holds-barred memoir of techno, it fits to be played at the most twisted and disorientating part of any night.

Release Date: Dec 7, 2018

Krotone - Til 5 (Out now on Jelly Bean Farm!)

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.

Bringing a lustrous dose of disco-doused headiness to Cassy’s Kwench Records imprint is Australian
 producer Kristin Velvet with a stunning two-track outing.
Kristin Velvet has been infiltrating the dance music bubble for a decade on a global-wide scale.
Promoting and DJing in Tokyo was followed by a stint as Australian label manager of UK-based
imprint Domino Records, and most recently she’s enjoying cultivating a reputation as an essential
figure of Berlin’s club scene with her being on Watergate’s artist agency and co-running Berlin-based
house and techno label Arms & Legs with Daniel Steinberg and Nils Ohrmann.
“Road-ready club goodness is what Kwench Records stands to consistently deliver, whether that be
house or techno. Kristin has the flair and ability to experiment with both – she’s had Louie Vega and
Cari Lekebusch give her work a rerub which is proof of her broad appeal. She’s continuously proving
herself to be a reliable artist for pushing standout tracks, and I regularly turn to her for adding a kick to
my sets.” – Cassy
 Inspired by hallowed New York club Paradise Garage meets the ever-multifaceted Robert Hood and
 his alter ego Floorplan, her EP was hewn during a post-raving flash of creativity with her head in the
 studio and heart in the club.
This EP is one built on feelings, with powerhouse track ‘High Ache’ jumping out the bag to grab you
by the ankles. Authentic disco drums build anticipation before the uplifting strings come swinging
through, delivering a euphoric sense of satisfaction. ‘No Worries’ runs further with the disco dice as
we get a second feel-good workout, and it’s one that’s packed with sassy vocals and reach for air
moments.
