ACIDHOUSE/BREAKCORE - part 3

When ‘Keep It Rollin’ is the instruction, prolific crowd pleaser George Morel becomes encyclopaedic on the wheeling up of beats into a perpetual motion. He of the eternal liquid bass funker ‘Let’s Groove’ – the original now a ridiculous 20 years old! – is one of house music’s all-timers, steering the famed Strictly Rhythm ‘Morel’s Groove’ series that was still going strong with last year’s EP of the same name including the successful Claptone remix. Bottom end grapplers such as ‘That Melody’, from the ‘Morel’s Grooving Again’ run on his own Groove On label, and 90s mainstream success with 2 In A Room, are prominent in a back catalogue that time and again has shown how to balance raw ends with club class.

‘Keep It Rollin’, a tribal-educated, bass-shunted sinew strainer, thrives off dancefloor aridity when all you can see is gridlock under the glitterball. Presided over by an instructional sage telling everyone how Morel’s favourite word beginning with ‘G’ is gonna go down, the undercutting funk that’s happy to be hirsute, undulates with a one-track mind; a trip to the bar can wait until everyone is knee deep in the good stuff.

Morel’s Acid Mix sees a 303 slurp and bubble under, before peeking over the top and embarking upon delivery of great warping dollops of tie-dyed bass, returning to its watchful point of entry once its job of foaming up the discotheque is done. Hustling its way neck and neck with percussion shaking as if caught in a tropical storm – you can also detect just a little eeriness from within as a backing breeze whispers through (which could well be punters collectively panting for breath) – Morel’s rain dance busies up the original by keeping the traffic moving and pushing portly minimalism through tight spaces.

For the remix, Mendo is a precision pick; not just because his forthcoming debut album ‘Avalon’ is full of ‘Keep It Rollin’-style tribalism, but also by the fact Morel gave Mendo his breakthrough on his Groove On imprint out of Miami back in 2000. For Clarisse’s chief, the four-deck specialist orchestrates another sweat wiper, scheming seven minutes of low-slung, high strength bustle and back-to-jack drum strikes. With a passing attack of pings prompted by alien feedback, Mendo drives through the pitch black until the glare from the DJ booth’s LEDs starts gurgling in time.

Time is running...and it seems like we just woke up out of our interstellar sleep-mode as we are facing the arrival of the 14th edition of the almighty COCOON RECORDINGS COMPILATION. Starting with the letter "A" we reached "N" meanwhile which probably marks one of the longest running techno-compilation-series ever around. The list of the featured artists is amazing and almost endless. Big names like Funk D'Void, Alter Ego, Michael Mayer, Steve Bug, DJ Rush, Adam Port, Christian Smith, Nina Kravitz, Henrik Schwarz or Argy can be found here. Not to forget some of the biggest players in the circus like Sven Väth, Anthony Rother, Extrawelt, Timo Mass, Radio Slave or Ricardo Villalobos, DJ Koze, Dubfire and even Berlin's Basic Channel mastermind Moritz Von Oswald!
 
With the new "Compilation N" we will add even more big names side by side to some fresh and promising ones. Let's start with Konstantin Sibold & Leif Müller who gave us "Kolibri", a great slowed down techno-tune that brings us back to the high days of Alter Ego when Harthouse released big listening and electronica albums. Track number two by Julian Perez follows that feeling and explores the deep and dubby sides of techno, too. A perfect transition to Frankfurt homeboy Markus Fix. It's dub again however spiced up with hypnotic strings and a clubby kickdrum shaking our bass bins!
With track number four, "Compilation N" opens the door to proper and kicking club music. Grandmaster Aril Brikha and Vince Watson present a vibrant arpeggio-tune followed by Alan Fitzpatrick with his "For Fear Tonight Is All". Fitzpatrick adds more of a cineastic soundtrack flavour to the picture and creates big emotions here before Cavaan releases a thrilling Acid-monster ("Wildness"). Coming up next is Truncate with track number seven that seems to be a little homage to the big days of the raw and kicking TR-909 and the pure Underground Resistance techno from Detroit. Sam Paganini is following this vibe with "Labyrinth" however even darker with more energy and pressure. These are the tunes that make big and foggy techno floors go crazy in the middle of the night. Track number nine "Luminous" by Lucy twist the knobs even further and beams us completely out of this world - if the tunes before didn't manage to do so ;)
"Les Gobelins" by Villanova doesn't need that pumping energy at all however it is quite a dark monster as well. Mind blowing vocals, wild drum programming and echo-craziness define the techno state-of-mind of the year 2014. The last two tracks come from Swiss tech-house-pionier Ripperton and Ricardo Tobar. We hear modulating bassline, synthesizer-sirens and minimal drum programming that all in all create a vibe somewhere between techno, house and the late works of Aphex Twin.
 
Number 14 presents 12 tracks with an impressive variety of all things techno these days. This is definetly no hands-up-in-the-air action at all. It is techno-music in a deeper way with a lot to explore and something that will exists longer than just one summer. This is something we want more from... we can't wait to hear what "Compilation O" will sound like ;)

AUS Music

"After a run of new signings in 2016 - Aus music kick of 2017 with something a little bit different. To inaugurate the new year they welcome in Catz 'N Dogz for three separate interpretations of classic records from the Aus Music archives. Cherry picked from the vast back catalogue are tracks from Bicep, Geeeman and George Fitzgerald - all of which are given a rough, smokey treatment from the PETS Recordings owners. Kicking things off is the remix of Geeman's 'Wanna Go Bang- he title track from his punchy 12-inch from 2015 that now sees a driving and percussive reworking. Bicep 'The Game' is next in line - a track from the Irish duos first solo outing on Aus back in 2013. Soft, overlapping chords are propelled by snapping drums and multiple melodic lines that build an allaying palette The remix of George Fitzgerald's 'Hindsight' then caps things off as more frazzled drums propel a stuttering vocal line and a warped synth pattern. Continuing to keep things fresh - Aus look ahead to another year of new signings and surprises and kick off here with a reminder of the solid foundation that has come before it"
