Simple Symmetry turn in an epic, mournful EP that reflects on their journey in exile.
 
After a long-standing affiliation with Multi Culti that includes remixes for Nicola Cruz and Drugface, as well as a huge edit for CULTED, the Russian brothers weigh in with a heavy 12” that comes on the back of an emotional year where they defected from Moscow, their world turned upside down by politics of aggression. ‘Problem’ is built around a kernel of punk panic performed by Hugo Van Heijningen (of Red Light Radio, Cawd Slaydaz, Order Collective). The anxious rage embedded in that opener finds a kind of disoriented catharsis in ‘Where I Am’, an uptempo ravey anthem that recalls the rush of CJ Bolland’s ‘Electronic Superhighway’ with a sense of angst and energy all their own. It’s the song of the soul-searching raver, finding a sense of home in the ecstasy of the dance, amidst a backdrop of oppressive fear and uncertainty.
The triptych concludes with the mournful ‘Funeral of Past Affections’, their own strange brand of horn sounding a vast and potent letting go. At once influenced by and homage to Andrew Weatherall, this one hits hard, emotionally. Imagine tears on the dancefloor, the strings reminding us that dance music can indeed be anchored in the very deepest centre of our soul.
Supporting them on this trip are long-time compatriots Red Axes, a natural fit for the indie-punk elements in ‘Problem’ and, as digital bonus, Multi Culti maestro Ofofo.

This is my rework of the track Crossrhodes by Mischa Blanos & Khori Ander.
After listening to this piece on loop for two straight hours, doing a rework felt almost like an obligation.
A warping nightmare, but I really enjoyed it.

After opening up his heart with his wonderful solo debut album last spring, it was about time that Joel Alter’s “Heart” gets a proper remix treatment. None other than fellow Swedish countryman Jesper Dahlbäck adds some spice to the intimate affair that is “22 Hours” under his “The Persuader” moniker. His take is a spooky yet compelling peak time bomb. Dorisburg transforms “Everlasting” into a funky and Acid-driven ride that is hard to resist. On top, you’ll get the Original mix of “Mecca” spread over a whole 12” side and a Discoid version as a digital bonus.
The wonderful artwork was created by Joakim Heidvall.

Yansima - Tweede Cans

Splashes of faint claret and a network of rusted hooks make for tasteful decor given the BDSM-themed nature of the evening. Once home to old men in blood-soaked aprons, each month, the now derelict meat locker plays host to ’alternative’ 24-hour parties, away from the prying eyes and suffocating restrictions of more traditional clubbing. The collective four millimetres of space between hundreds of muddled bodies makes dancing heated work, marking those with most skin on show as the wisest of the group. Beyond the dimly-lit dance floor in secluded corners are even darker rooms, reserved for hidden intentions.

Legendary British-label Phantasy are manning the release of Cowboy Rhythmbox's next transmission, a mind-bending take on their own '6am Cowboy' from Detroit's Sharif Laffrey, plus a remix of the remix from the London-based duo, with their ‘Deviation Variation'. The two-tracker features an ‘Inception’-level premise and an excellent example of how artists inspire each other's creative process. Our pick ‘Sharif Laffrey’s Deviation’ is a 14-minute reworking of CR’s ‘Terminal Madness' EP, with it’s best elements stitched together in this Frankenstein’s monster of a tech-house track.
