Error Heaven (Trancebreaks Mix)

London’s own ELLES returns to Naive with “Anthem”, the first single from her forthcoming debut album “A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Life” - which is also the first LP on naive and marks the 5th anniversary of the Lisbon label.

Written as a love letter to clubbing and its continuum of blissful resistance, the lyrics in “Anthem” take us through impressionist scenes of club abandonment and the emotive remembrance of the "past ones". Glacial synths, vast open space and dreamy vocal detailing make for the perfect backdrop for serotonin-glazed ecstatic pianos and slick house rhythms to come in and lift the song to its anthemic promise. A whirlwind of feel-good house music with indie leanings, “Anthem” will hit you like a Kylie pop dance smash produced by Luomo circa “The Present Lover”.

In the artist's own words. 'ANTHEM is a track about details that linger and visions in the smoke and strobe. It’s about healing, finding hope and the space that music and clubs can provide for processing it all. A standard bearer for the major themes of the album and a love letter to friends, lovers and anyone who has been lost & found in the dance.'

The accompanying videoclip, shot by Portuguese director Bruno Gonçalves, features entrancing images of ELLES herself and Dipsy - a Brazilian dancer and visual artist who is a key figure in Lisbon's underground queer scene - losing themselves solo in industrial, club and house party settings.

The full album will be released digitally 27th May 2022 with the vinyl 12" to follow shortly.

Super excited to have hosted the opulent @wavesofhoney earlier on CJAM FM! She is a producer and DJ hailing from Montreal, having spent a good portion of the last decade contributing her unique sounds to the Canadian dance music scene and beyond. Recently she released the ANTI EGO REMIX EP with remixes by Korea Town Acid, Lukro, Sim, Mish, and many more experimental artists pushing the traditional boundaries of dance music sounds.

Enjoy this eclectic mix of breaky, ravey, techno and housey goodness that proves why Honeydrip’s forward-thinking productions and taste are turning heads.

‘787B Remixed’ sees seven artists offering their own interpretations of (@holysimilaun) xpedient’s debut LP @entangledvisions. Shelley Parker’s version of ‘E0010’ conjures a shimmering mirage, introducing a rhythm section that has a refreshing galloping quality to it.

787B Remixed

xpedient - E0010 (Shelley Parker Remix) [Entangled Visions]

Time seemed to move slower on a Friday, maybe she was clock watching too much. She drummed her fingers on the table and moved her computer mouse about to create the illusion she was still hard at work. The only thing on her mind was signing out and logging on to the night's activities. The weekend held promise of hedonistic experiences, of spaces to dance and play, of meetings with old friends and conversations with new ones. Until Monday arrived, the responsibilities of the week had no place in her thoughts: she'd cross that bridge when she came to it.

There's plenty of celebrations in order for the next release on Violet's naive imprint. It's even in the name. A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Life is the debut album from London-based producer and DJ ELLES, which also marks the fifth anniversary of naive and the first ever LP to be released on the label. Across its 11 tracks, the album tells 'the story of a night out and all the nights out', and laces her own personal reflections of the bliss and freedom that going out clubbing gives us all - a cathartic subject as the release was predominantly written during a time that we were sorely missing these hedonistic spaces and the communities that frequented them. 

Sonically it brings together off-kilter dance music, acid, rave, Balearic, electro and a whole host of other sounds, all of which contribute to what ELLES dubs as "a love-letter to those vital community spaces for finding your people and pleasures and also about personal healing, processing life and discovering moments of clarity amidst the noise."

For the fourth release of Zurich based @anaram-records, @ORTRA presents four club tracks on the Scattered EP (NRM003). As much as they diverge in their production approach, they are held together by an overall mood, which draws in the listeners.
Antre opens with a fast-paced 4/4, driving bass, scattered breaks and dubby pads. Vigil perpetuates the atmosphere with a half time, bass-heavy beat, startling arps and otherworldly synths. 12subcult08 is a ride through syncopated beats, subaqueous tones, ravey break sections, changing tempi and an introspective verse central section. Scatter07 unifies ORTRA's love for industrial, broken percussion, glitchy samples, synth jams and heavy bass.

PREMIERE: ELLES - Anthem (Angel Of Rhythm Refix Pt.2)

Fresh from the success of their Major Records debut with the immaculate Too Hot EP, Rinse France’s Whitney Weiss brings ELLES, Needy Beast, Evelyn, and Spatial Awareness into the Chinotto Records fold for The World, Reversed Remixes EP out on the 15th of March.
Released via Whitney’s newly founded imprint Chinotto Records, a label focused on spotlighting ‘moments of true dancefloor euphoria’, the EP gathers choice US and UK producers for five distinctive remixes that take the already warm and vibrant track to the club, the chill-out room, the
rave, and the afters. It also marks the label’s first foray into vinyl, with a limited hand-stamped run of 100 records.

Accomplished London-based producer, DJ, and songwriter ELLES elevates the original to new emotional heights with stirring vocals and ethereal synths, while Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Needy Beast gives a nod to house classics with a lush groove. Brooklyn-based DJ and producer extraordinaire Evelyn expands the track to seven tightly-coiled moments of
galloping beats for the rave and UK-based producer Spatial Awareness goes deep with nearly eight synth-fuelled minutes for pushing dancers a step beyond. The EP concludes with a new mix from Whitney Weiss: a perfect slice of house that keeps the warmth of the original with a longer run time
for dance floors.

Whitney says:
“I wanted to ask some friends and favourites to re-imagine a track that people kept saying ends too soon and their takes thrilled and moved me.
ELLES is fiercely talented and I was honoured that she chose to add vocals. Hers is the remix that so far has made everyone cry, including me. I think it’s a perfect mood shift at peak time for skilled DJs who want their audiences to find heaven within, etc.
Needy Beast had a storied presence in various New York music scenes and knows his way around a studio. He’s a talented vocalist and fun guy whose version has nods to house classics and an unmistakable lushness of its own (with some great backing vocals).
I’m a big fan of Evelyn’s music and was floored by her guest mix for my Rinse show; I wanted to have her on for a remix so the EP could have the range. She goes harder than I do production-wise as a general rule and I was excited to hear the direction she took this in, which was beats beats
beats.
The Spatial Awareness remix is one for the club at a full-floor hour. Love the synths on this, it’s imbued with that sweat dripping down the walls energy.
I felt like being clever and wanted a longer version that kept the original mood. Kevin from Valence Studios, who does all of our mastering, called it ‘a piece of genius that reminds me of the kind of fun that I miss from the old AVH cuts’ and that felt like winning an award/meant it had worked.”
As a DJ Whitney Weiss is a master of their craft at the centre of some of the world’s cutting-edge queer parties for over a decade. From deeply underground beginnings playing 8+ hour stretches in Argentinean factories and defunct train depots and a residency at the legendary Dengue Dancing
parties in Buenos Aires (where after five years a move to Berlin was a quieter pace of life), to residencies across Europe in the years since - including Club Sandwich, Wanderlust, Strangé in Paris and Dalston Superstore in London. They’ve played regularly to global audiences from Berlin to Milan to Reykjavík to New York, appearing on The Lot Radio, NTS, HÖR, and Teki Latex’s French TV Show Overdrive Infinity and many more. Whitney divides their time between Berlin and Paris, where they
are celebrating their tenth year on Rinse France

[Verse 1]
I felt your breath before your words
Like fire that never spoke
You touched me with your silence
And undressed me in the smoke

No promises, no reasons
Just heartbeat over time
And even though you left
You’re still crawling through my spine

[Pre-Chorus]
We said it wasn’t love
But it burned just the same
No names, no future
But I still taste your name

[Chorus]
There’s still skin between us
Even if you’re gone
Still feel you in my breathing
Every single song
There’s still heat between us
Even in the cold
Still dancing with the shadows
Of the things we never told

(Loop-Vocal für Drop: “Skin between us… Skin between us…”)

[Verse 2]
Your shirt fell like confession
Your laugh, a crooked line
We never said forever
But I kept you like it’s mine

You’re carved into the bedsheets
Like ink I can’t erase
And I still find you hiding
In every stranger’s face

[Pre-Chorus]
We touched without a story
But the ending still remains
No script, no goodbye
But we played it just the same

[Chorus]
There’s still skin between us
On nights I feel too much
Still chasing your outline
In every single touch
There’s still heat between us
Like sparks we can’t control
Still burning in the silence
Still craving what you stole

[Outro]
Skin…
Between us…
Still here…
Still real…
