Michael Mayer albums don’t come round too often, which is one of many reasons why his fourth collection, The Floor Is Lava, is a genuine event. It’s been eight years since his last one, the collaborative & released on !K7; its predecessors, Mantasy (2012) and Touch (2004), took their sweet time, too. It’s no real surprise, given the many hats Mayer wears – globetrotting DJ, revered remixer, inveterate collaborator, and boss of both Kompakt and Imara – that his solo productions are relatively sparing. But this also speaks to their quality: Mayer’s name on a record sleeve is a sign of quality, of music that’s both looking to the future and calling back to the past, that balances the imperatives of the dancefloor and the loungeroom, that’s as exploratory as it is functional.

On The Floor Is Lava, Mayer seems to be taking the temperature of both the music that surrounds him (past and present), and the ideas of the industry he works within. There’s that iconic album title, for a start. “The album’s mindset,” he says, reflecting on those four words together. For Mayer, it’s partly a critique of the way the industry boxes in both producer and listener, focuses them on genre, on market, on the next new thing: “Being a free minded spirit that transcends genres has become an uphill battle.” A battle worth fighting, though, and with The Floor Is Lava, the result is an album that’s varied, quixotic, idiosyncratic, charming, and deeply, addictively listenable.

Throughout, Mayer finds thrills in exploration and juxtaposition, allowing unexpected things to blossom and giving them their life, their platform, throwing the listener exciting curveballs: “It’s a DJ album by a DJ that’s easily bored.” Either easily bored, or endlessly curious, The Floor Is Lava is rich with ideas. It opens with “The Problem”, which looks back to look forward, embracing the rickety way early house productions threw samples together with gleeful abandon. Mayer mentions Pal Joey, and the scene around Rockers Hi-Fi and their Different Drummer imprint, as reference points, and you can hear that freewheeling spirit throughout.

That’s The Floor Is Lava: then and now, brainwaves and nerve structures, problems and solutions, genres on fire; the real, the unreal, and the surreal. An album for the easily bored and the endlessly curious. Mayer has the last word, telling us all you need to know about the album’s spirit: “Burning for the cause, being zealous, being addicted to the heat of the night, the exuberant powers of music.”

Reverseble Perspective (Specdub Rmx) [Superordinate Dub Waves]

As they were approaching the door, a sharp click made them freeze — a high-caliber blaster was aimed straight at them. Kujo stood in front of the door. His massive body resembled that of a giant snail, but instead of the usual soft exterior, he was encased in intricate armor made of interwoven metal plates. These plates contracted and expanded in rhythm with his deep breathing, almost as if they were alive. His elongated head, thrust forward, gave him a menacing look, while a mohawk of his pulsating tendrils swayed, sensing every vibration in the air. Thin, glowing appendages along his face enhanced this eerie, almost mystical presence.

— Who are you? — a raspy voice thundered.
— We’re here to inquire about the portal, — Spacelunch stepped forward.
— Everyone wants to know about the portal. Get lost!
— “The endless rustle of Sivinerian centipedes”, — Spacelunch replied firmly.
— How do you know that?
— The android said it would mean something to you.
— How’s that old hunk of junk doing? Still running? — Kujo grinned but kept the weapon aimed at them.
— Battered, but still operational, — Cat replied with a chuckle.
— That code isn’t given out easily. So, you helped him. Fine. One question — one answer.

Spacelunch explained their mission. Kujo listened in silence, his expression growing more serious.

— That’s Castafarian technomagic, — his voice carried a note of respect. — These technologies are no longer made. The keys to them are held only by the Castafarian Keepers. Their homeworld is Proxima Planet.
— Isn’t it great, — Cat rolled his eyes. — All we’ve learned is: go to Proxima.
— Sometimes the truth takes longer than we expect, — Spacelunch said calmly, resting his hand on Cat’s shoulder. — And I believe the Smoring Queen can help us figure this out…

Spacetravel

I look up at the sky, see the stars blink
Dreaming of journeys where time waves goodbye
Spaceships in the night, we float so free
Leaving Earth, taking a cosmic leap

No gravity, just the feeling of flow
We fly through galaxies, let our thoughts go
From Sorunda to Saturn, I follow my faith
In the vacuum there's silence, but my heart says "go"

Spacetravel – I'm on my way
Through space, beyond every pathway
Stardust in my eyes, I see
That the universe whispers: "You are more"

Planets dancing in eternal rotation
I write my story in a new dimension
No stress, no time, just infinity
In orbit I find my secret identity

And when I land on a foreign world
I bring the beats from my old swirl
Music is my compass, my rocket flame
In every tone lies a new secret name

So I keep traveling, never quite done
In the silence of space, my guitar strums on
Spacetravel – it's more than a dream
It's J-Style, it's the heart's own stream

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Aerodroemme - Ayahuha (Svarog Remix) [No Way Records]

taken from: Aerodroemme - Ayahuha (Incl. Svarog, NFEREE And Orbital Mechanics Remixes) [NWR020]
release date: 26 June 2020

Issue number nineteen signed Aerodroemme, an ep of sharp techno music but at the same time elaborated and refined. The ep opens with Ayahuha, rhythmic propping and carried by ethereal pads, Tales from Mount Pleasant, kick in four quarters absorbed by a Moroderian sequencer, closes Crossing Dimensions, a track that pays homage to the detroitian tradition. The three tracks of Aerodroemme are entrusted to three remixers who elaborate their own personal interpretation, Svarog with its dreamlike atmospheres, the dark cut of NFEREE and the night excursion of Orbital Mechanics.
