Trrrrrax (august 2015)

After a strong run of EPs in recent times, the bosses of the much loved Canadian label My Favorite Robot return again to their own imprint with a strong follow-up release to their Glass To The End EP released earlier this year.

The accomplished trio of Jared Simms, James Teej and Voytek Korab has become synonymous with emotive, synth heavy tracks that are much more than functional club offerings. As well as releasing on their own label, they have dropped releases on the likes of Sasha's Last Night on Earth, No.19 Music, Visionquest, and Life & Death.

The Panoptikon EP, named after a type of institutional building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow a single watchman to observe inmates of an institution without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. This EP plays deeply with this idea in typical robot fashion.

Stunning opener 'Cast' is an epic techno influenced house track, lush with shimmering synths and live drums creating tension, much in the spirit of 90's electronica. Breaking through like sun through cloud, though, are brightly glowing chords that really add a celestial air to proceedings, with powerful vocals sprinkled throughout deepening the story. It's a refreshingly original track that sounds like little else and is sure to make for some standout moments on the floor in the coming weeks.

Then comes 'Manifesto,' a playful mid tempo prowler with myriad synths squealing, glowing and spread through the arrangement. You are trapped right at the heart of it all as these spritely lines bring a real sense of life and colour to the track, as well as imbuing it with a sombre sense of futurism. At the center of the recording is a tongue in cheek vocal that intones "selling out is the new underground", bringing a true light heartedness to proceedings while balancing the darker elements. The track's apex delivers in true My Favorite Robot spirit, and solidly brings the whole trip back down to earth resulting in a truly unique experience.

This is a small but perfectly formed two track EP that once again showcases the trio's ability to make genuine, emotionally resonant electronic music sure to stand the test of time.

Zomboy - Beast In The Belly

A collab between Zeds Dead and myself. First featured on ZD's BBC Radio1 Essential Mix, alongside Trouble.

Zeds Dead x Memorecks - Love Me

The first relese to kick off Clubwerks, Origami Sound's imprint dedicated to distinctive, genre-free club material is by a 19 year old French prodigy who grew up in Manchester and is currently studying Jazz Performance at the prestigious Julliard University in NYC - JAONA, one of the most exciting producers to join our crew of hugely gifted new talent.

The difference between average producers and great ones consists in knowing how to arrange melodic and rhythmic stimuli in extraordinary ways; our boy JAONA is a champion at conjuring the most refined sensorial scenery inside each of his tracks and have fun with it too. All the music on this EP is entirely stand-alone, furiously creative and catchy in the most subtle ways.

This mini-album should be more than enough to get an idea of what Clubwerks is about.

Agoria - Hélice EP

HFT038

Gallic cynosure Agoria debuts on the Hotflush roster with ‘Hélice’ – a compelling, propelling record that envelopes and encompasses. Blending an ambience of eerie sci-fi over suspense-laden peaks and troughs, it goes after body and mind in equal measure.

Its B-side counterpart is  ‘Make It Real’, a jacking house number cut through with a classic Rhodes bounce. The latent garage disposition is brought to the fore by ESS, whose remix nods to the East Coast glory days of yore.

Release date: December 1st 2014

Tracklisting:

A1. Hélice
B1. Make It Real
B2. Make It Real (ESS Remix)

When i was around 6 my favorite show in Germany was Sesamstrasse. It was a German adaptation of the American Sesame Street. I was really crazy about the show, and I used to always watch it at my Grandparents in Germany.

The intro song was very dear to me. The lyrics went Der Die Das, Wie Weshalb Warum. Which ruffly translates to He She It, How, For what reason, Why.

The intro song spawned this Childish Curiosity in me. I had to explore everything around me. I would bang on lids in the kitchen to hear what they sounded like.

It was this song that made we want to make sounds with different objects, and experiment with early rythms. From this moment on i was engulfed in anything that made a sound.

Correspondant present the vinyl sampler for their 3rd label compilation. Following in the success of the previous two entries in the series, this latest edition provides a perfect snapshot of how the relatively young label has matured over three years, with contributions from a range of artists including big names (such as Roman Flügel and Chloe), close Correspondant family (like Man Power and Red Axes), and exciting new rising talent (including Bird of Paradise and Sigward).

With eight tracks, split over two records, Compilation 03 sees curator and label owner, Jennifer Cardini, displaying an even wider musical breadth than the previous two compilation incarnations, but still represents the undefinable yet unmistakable sound which truly marks out Correspondant as unique.

Correspondant Compilation 03 is due out via Correspondant on June 15.

A tropic brew of kuduro, kazukuta, and South African influenced joy from DJ Pupo this Bank Holiday 'noon then. Afro DJ Pupo is the alias of 23-year-old Angolan DJ and producer Alcindo Joaquim, delivering the Listen To My Music EP on multiform imprint Bazzerk. "Listen To My Music" is rooted by a deep percussive groove with an oscillating male and female vocal shift on top. Catch the release on June 1 when it arrives on limited stamped vinyl, and digital via Mental Groove/Bazzerk.

DJ Pupo "Listen To My Music" - Boiler Room Debuts

Alex Niggemann’s AEON label mirrors the peak time DJs sets that the supremely talented Berliner plays, staying focused on conjuring up the spirit of classic and timeless house and techno, updating it and creating new boundless possibilities for the future.

The teasing, tension-building energy of the super- smooth “Stellar”, bears all the hallmarks of an artist who is at the top of his game. Alex Niggemann is a master of capturing and encompassing elements of darkness, mystery and uplifting melancholic beauty in his subtle and spacious creations. There aren’t enough cutting- edge artists out there who are bold enough to breathe life into their productions with true emotion. “Asterism” steers an equally subtle melancholic path, before morphing into a stunning rollercoaster ride of a track, firing with exuberant, emotive energy and desire. To complete this package, “Asterism” is treated to a remix from the uninhibited perspectives of Belgium’s exceptional rising star and kindred spirit, Locked Groove.

For those people with open minds and open ears, electronic music doesn’t really have borders – blurring the boundaries between house and techno is a given – creativity and experimentation without restrictions and
expectations is what allows artists to make exceptional music that becomes timeless and treasured.

AEON references back to Alex Niggeman’s roots – the music which inspired him to start his career as a DJ and producer – and was created as a platform to release music that stands for quality and originality. Music that fits perfectly into peak-time sets, without being too obvious, without being just functional, with multiple musical dimensions. The “Stellar EP” is the next outstanding instalment.

Alex Niggemann - Asterism

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

Ahead of his debut album, Ashworth will release an EP that contains three tracks from the record and 'Cork' is a deep, emotive cut that sets the tone for what's to come.

It's an intelligent and warm track that features soft tones, flowing drops and exquisite melodies, all of which whet the appetite for the upcoming full length.

Premiere: Ashworth 'Cork'

Theta Eridani (θ Eri, θ Eridani) is a star in the constellation Eridanus. It has the traditional name Acamar from the Arabik Ākhir an-nahr which means "the end of the river“.
Acamar is a double star with some evidence suggesting it is part of a multiple star system
Acamar's distance from Earth as measured by the Hipparcos astrometry satellite is approximately 120 light-years.
Ptolemy described Acamar as a first-magnitude star, which some have taken to be in fact Achernar, which today appears just above the horizon in Alexandria where Ptolemy lived.
Achernar, however, was not visible to Ptolemy (it is from Alexandria today due to procession); its declination in 100CE was -67, making it invisible even at Aswan. Ptolemy's Eridanus thus without doubt ended at Acamar, which rose about 10 degrees above the horizon from Alexandria. This fact besides positively identifying Acamar as the original "end of the river", also strengthens the case for Acamar having been first magnitude in ancient times.

Dachshund is one of our favourite producers, so when he asked if we could remix one of his tracks for a release on his label Clapper we were keen to get involved… 

Dachshund - Nostalgia (Audiojack remix)

Out Now! 

After a strong run of EPs in recent times, the bosses of the much loved Canadian label My
Favorite Robot return again to their own imprint with a strong follow-up release to their Glass To The End EP released earlier this year.

The accomplished trio of Jared Simms, James Teej and Voytek Korab has become synonymous with emotive, synth heavy tracks that are much more than functional club offerings. As well as releasing on their own label, they have dropped releases on the likes of Sasha's Last Night on Earth, No.19 Music, Visionquest, and Life & Death.

The Panoptikon EP, named after a type of institutional building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow a single watchman to observe inmates of an institution without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. This EP plays deeply with this idea in typical robot fashion.

Stunning opener 'Cast' is an epic techno influenced house track, lush with shimmering synths and live drums creating tension, much in the spirit of 90's electronica. Breaking through like sun through cloud, though, are brightly glowing chords that really add a celestial air to proceedings, with powerful vocals sprinkled throughout deepening the story.

The MFR vision is simple. Ignore the norm and

broaden the definition of electronic music in order to

deliver it to as many music lovers as possible.

My Favorite Robot is the duo of Jared Simms, and

Voytek Korab, two Canadian DJ/producers who in a

space of a few short years have become a central part

of the global electronic music scene.

Simms &amp; Korab originally formed the My Favorite

Robot act in Montreal back in 2002 and the label in

2008, shortly after Jared’s move to Toronto from

Montreal. At the same time, the duo hooked up with

the No19 Music crew and a new chapter in Canadian

music history was born. Whilst their good friends at

No.19 went on to form the massively successful Art

Department, the boys at MFR worked alongside them

building their own label into a global beacon for

quality electronic music.

My Favorite Robot Records has received huge

critical acclaim and has released music from the likes

of Tim Paris, Jori Hulkkonen, Chloe, H.O.S.H,

Kenny Glasgow, Fairmont, Timo Mass, Adriatique

and Tim Green to name but a few.

They have released on such leading labels as

Visionquest, Life &amp; Death, Crosstown Rebels, and

Sasha’s Last Night On Earth label and in 2013 they

released their critically acclaimed “Atomic Age”

album on No.19. They have played some of the

world’s best clubs and festivals including Circoloco

at DC-10, Rex in Paris, BPM in Mexico and

Uberhaus in Beirut and continue to be on the cutting

edge of electronic music worldwide.
