Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and Cristian Croce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien.
Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch’s Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan’s Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up.
Title track ‘Brace Brace’ is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch.
The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts.
‘Niente Per Niente’ is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, ‘Balkan Youth’ gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier.
This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

Voices of Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn) [立秋之音]
·𖥸· ─ ·♡· ─ ·𖥸· ─ ·♡· ─ ·𖥸· ─ ·♡· ─ ·𖥸· ─ ·♡· ─ ·𖥸·

☯️The Awakening Pulse: Origin of Autumn Equinox【渐醒之律：秋分起源】

On the night of Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn), as earth's pulse warms, we harvests twelve gems from past seasons, forging this acoustic star chart that traverses dusk till dawn. Beautiful melodies and grooves roam freely within the solar term's cadence, as global downtempo pioneers reinterpret the awakening energy through electronic pulses.

Icy synthesizers and rhythms born of deep night draw back the frost silk curtain. Ancient Eastern spirits intertwine with tribal echoes, just like Dunhuang whirlwinds lifting African savanna sands. Electronic mist dissolves boundaries between the real world and energy world. Neons of cyber metropolis bleed into whispered holographic geisha, overlapping with forest sprites dancing around primal fires. Warm final notes ascend with the sun to daybreak's threshold, darkness torn by pulse-illumined gilded fissures.

This compilation converges 23 sound alchemists from Germany, Ukraine, France, India, Mexico, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Italy, China, USA, and Spain. It’s an electronic offering to nature, yet also a gentle awakening tap to modern consciousness.

Whether at festivals, clubs, chillout bars, or during midnight meditation, balcony reveries, sunrise yoga, mountain trail solitude, this album will flush your synapses with glacial frequencies, shake dormant bones with subterranean bass, and awaken the pulse slumbering within your spine.

Fred Berthet  - Tri Bal

The difficulty with language is that it can be hard to articulate, decipher and change. What is said cannot be erased and taken back, it stands firm in the passage of time for a life to come. This is why such holy books have paved the way across the ages, they cannot be taken back. Nowadays it is all about a turn of phrase, depicting what may come next and rephrasing that which was mistaken. Perhaps in the future we will learn better, and take our time. 

Teniente Castillo is set to release a new EP on Playpal Music. Operating out of Madrid he creates tripped out electronic music rife with drive and bass. He is remixed by Undo.

PREMIERE: Teniente Castillo - Rephrased (Undo Remix)[Play Pal Music]

The always artful My Favorite Robot label is branching out with a brand-new sister imprint. Entitled MFR Red, it will deal in single track, club focussed releases that place importance on DJ functionality and dance floor impact. The Canadian duo themselves are behind the fantastic first release.

Jared Simms and Voytek Korab make up this Toronto outfit and this is their first release since the excellent Want Some EP in Spring 2017. Known for their emotive, vocal laced tracks that always come resplendent with smart synth work and a timeless feel, this new cut finds them in a more direct and dance floor aligned mood.

The intriguingly entitled ‘Femur Loveseat’ is a crisp and stark electro track. It has shimmering synths laid over the menacing groove and as it wiggles along they morph into pixelated notes that dance round the scale. The result is a track with dark energy and a serene sense of futurism that elevates it above mere tool.

This is a great way to start what is sure to become an essential new label for DJs and dancers alike.

MFRED1 My Favorite Robot 'Femur Loveseat'

Somewhere, not far from here
Lies the perfect land
Land of eternal sunshine
Land of eternal grace
Hyperbolic, supersonic
Disco walk with me

Uplifting and euphoric with a nice touch of edginess: https://soundcloud.com/ricardooliva’s remix of Sinchi Music’s ‘Hyperborea’. One of those tracks comfortingly reminding us of so much music made in the past, yet unique on its own - proving Mexico’s a music force to be reckoned with.

PREMIERE - Sinchi Music - Hyperborea (Roliva remix) (Night Noise)

When Harold Boué aka Abstraxion invited Fantastic Man into his studio after playing together the night before he didn't knew he was planting the seed for a new project. Three cuts driven by warmly distorted rhythms, bursts of primitive drums, rubbery synths and uplifting chants that overall feel like the first sunrays after an excursion through a dark cave: both blinding and blissful.

The Mansisters is the moniker of the infamous Kasper Bjørke and Sexy Lazer - the Copenhagen residents who are also behind the series of curated releases on hfn music known as Sisters & Brothers.

Now the duo found time in their crazy production and touring schedules to pull together a superb new EP that further raises the bar of the series. 

‘Amigo’ is the lead track, a bouncy post wave groove thing with a killer bassline and splashes of fuzz guitar. 

‘Belly’ is a low slung bass affair, slowly introducing percussion, but maintaining a deep, wonky vibe throughout. 

‘Queens of The Night’ steps up the tempo with crisp programmed beats and an arpeggiated bass line. The lead synth line is pure Kosmische and a cheeky tempo drop brings a new direction to the cut. 

Finally Paulor, the Mexican producer and DJ, also adds his touch to lead track ‘Amigo’, bringing in multiple new flavours in his epic 9 minute remix.

Every now and again a track comes along that absolutely blows away the cobwebs, a track that straddles the line between experimental and the dancefloor, that takes us back to the first time we heard a track on Ninja Tune. Our pick up is titule, wonderful  acid techno tune , massive bass box, romantic and in the same time menacing synth line warning you about something could happen. record is out 15th November, buy here: https://www.traxsource.com/title/1226845/the-you-in-you-isnt-the-you-you-thought-was-in-you
