Speaking Minds return to Aeon with their first EP on the label, after a remarkable appearance as remixers on Dodi Palese’s ‘Black Drop Effects’.

This release starts off with ‘JSB’, a captivating and hypnotic affair enhanced by perfectly crafted delayed synths creeping out of the background. The constant darkness in harmonies and pads takes the listener through a brilliantly thought out progression and leaves them wanting for more after this 9-minute trip ends.

‘Yaoundé’ continues on this melancholic vibe, while bringing forward a more cinematic and even more chilling side from the Italian producers’ music. The main ambient lead develops beautifully, alongside many synth harmonies, and offers a contrast with a pushing drum section. This track is reduced to its essence, with crisp shakers and hi-hats bringing a drive to the intense atmosphere created by numerous harmonic layers.

Closing off this EP, ‘Paradise’ features a drunken melody evolving all through the track; a hook that is celverly completed by a pad halfway through. The arrangement, natural and flowing, makes every element of this trip shine, from the discrete chords in the background to the main synth line.

Speaking Minds have truly spoken with their heart here. This is a collection of masterfully crafted tracks full of melancholy and passion. Prepare to be taken aboard this cinematic trip...

Yaoundé

Sailor & I - Sweat (DJ Tennis & Margot Remix)

Faceless Recordings are set to return this June with an atmospheric three-track release from HearThug, featuring a remix from Timo Maas.

The latest international artist to hit the books of Faceless Recordings is Tunisia’s HearThuG – a producer with releases on My Favorite Robot, Sincopat and Stranjur that have each demonstrated his adaptability with styles ranging from upbeat, disco influences through to swirling atmospheric techno. Here we see HearThuG deliver some fresh original tracks and join the Faceless roster, slotting him in amongst James Teej, Climbers, Bambook and Jay Tripwire in the catalogue.

Droning synths, spacey samples and sombre piano chords adorn the tripped out, fifteen-minute instrumental voyage that is ‘Celestial Asterism’. The track keeps a steady vibe and pace as it subtly develops and evolves throughout, creating an introspective yet expansive opening number.

Legendary German producer Timo Maas delivers a remix to follow which has a more aggressive feel, gradually building with heavy tension, a steady house beat and throbbing with latent danger. The original’s droning hook is given an abrasive edge while industrial, metallic sounds invade across its eight and a half-minute duration.

The tension dissipates on closing cut ‘Invasion Of The Robots’, which has elements of cosmic disco and employs pulsing bass, motoric-like beats and major key chords to create a charming closing piece.

--------------------------------------
Irish techno, electro and electronica producer Chymera makes his debut here on Canadian
label My Favourite Robot Records with this superb 4 track EP.

Before now the talented craftsman has released on labels like Ovum, Kompakt and
Connaisseur and has been active for a decade. His sound is filmic and patient, features
plenty of great synth work and therefore fits in perfectly with the MFR sound.

Up first is 'Other Worlds', a serene cut with proud chords and percolating drums down
below. Slivery and reflective, shiny and golden, it's a lush way to start. 'Vertigo' is then a
more direct cut with pixelated chord stabs, arpeggiated bass and a slick sense of groove
that carries us well into the future.

On the flip, 'Inner Worlds' pairs things back to a more insular deep house groove. Sombre
chords sway back and forth as hiccuping snares roll over rubbery drums. There is mystery
and intrigue in the little pads that float about and the whole thing has a soothing effect on
mind, body and soul. Lastly, 'Erku' is the deepest of the lot, where bubbling drums and
synths unravel in an eerie and spacious sound world. Stuttering drums eventually arrive to
kick start things and the whole thing is soft focus and perfectly cosmic.

Once more here MFR have unearthed an artful producer who can do so much more than
just lay down a track - instead he injects a true sense of musicality into his work as
displayed on this standout EP.

Part Danish, part Croatian techno maestro Denis Horvat has wasted no time in making a name for himself as an artist to sit up and take note of. After erupting onto the scene with vibe heavy releases on some of the underground’s most coveted labels Denis returns to Alex Niggeman’s AEON imprint with a club ready three track EP sure to set dancefloors alight throughout summer 2016. 

Opening with title track ‘Exit’ Denis quickly sets the tone for what’s to come with a rapturously rolling beat and instantly recognisable pounding bassline. With the introduction of long, drawn out bass folds and quickening synths going a long way to set the pace, Denis expertly builds anticipation before dropping the track into a deep, club ready roller – leaving no doubt in his expert production capabilities. 

Next up, ‘Moderna’ rolls in and keeps the vibe decidedly underground with a plethora of futuristic horns and synth interchanges quickly building suspense before the beat kicks in and the listener is taken to altogether more euphoric place. With a deeply moreish keyboard loop and atmospheric bass formations, ‘Moderna’ ups the ante on this record, taking the release from straightforward club EP, to artist defining record. 

Rounding off the three tracker, ‘Transparent’ opens with a tough punchy beat that can be instantly attributed to Horvat’s sonic aesthetic. The beat gives way into deep, driving drums before the whole track takes an almost acidic turn with waspy synths and a compellingly underground bassline, leaving no doubt in this track’s sure fire capability as a big room club weapon.

Calling in Marvin & Guy for remix duties the EP is brought to a close with the duo’s up tempo interpretation of ‘Transparent’. Keeping the track firmly club ready, Marvin & Guy’s influence can be heard in quazor like synths and elongated build up before the clappy high hats give way to an intense dancefloor roller sure to have a massive impact on the underground techno scene from London to Miami and back again. 

Transparent

Though it would be presumptuous to predict a *Track of Summer 2016* in the modest month of April – sod that, we're going to do it anyway. After a short while finely tuning the sample-based house and disco ReGraded sub-label, Midland reopens the doors to his original Graded imprint with a release that's well worth shouting about. Catalogue number #003 comes in the form of three-track Blush EP, with an opening title track that highlighted Midland's own BR set at Dekmantel last summer. A token example of Midland's ability to create authentic, instantly catchy dance music – with a hook that's guaranteed to woo hearts across many dancefloors worldwide.
