Foundation

Outdom Records celebrates its eighth vinyl release with "Funny Games," a five-track EP from the label's familiar artist, Denis Kostitsyn. The project fully embodies its cheeky title through an adventurous sonic identity, weaving together raw analogue textures and 90s-minded drums with modern precision. Kostitsyn, whose respected background includes a residency at Arma17 and acclaimed releases on Exarde and Mung Records, focuses his craftsmanship on creating a compelling fusion of weight and atmosphere. The tracks are built on a foundation of heavy basslines and shuffling percussions, while unexpected elements like acid stabs and dubby echoes add layers of depth and surprise. This combination results in a seriously functional EP for discerning DJs, offering a collection that is both hypnotic and unpredictably groovy, ensuring the dancefloor remains fully engaged from the first beat to the last.

Premiered here, "Stagemanager" immediately establishes its authority with a bossy, commanding bassline that dictates the track's entire rhythm. This low-end force is perfectly countered by a canopy of atmospheric pads that drift through the mix, creating a sense of depth and tension. The track moves with a distinct, swinging Electro-ish gait, giving it a classic yet forward-thinking momentum. This foundation is periodically ruptured by sharp acid incursions that tear through the arrangement with squelching intensity. Further punctuating the soundscape are sporadic vocal stabs, which act as cryptic commands, adding a final layer of rhythmic complexity and human touch to this expertly crafted, driving production.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://outdom.bandcamp.com/music

Archivist - Star in a Circle

Released on Slater’s iconic ‘Freek Funk’ album on NovaMute - one of the most seminal techno albums of the 90s - ‘Love’ finally gets the remix treatment it deserves more than two decades after its initial release.

Marcel Dettmann provides two takes on Love, his ‘City’ remix features a cacophony of metallic rhythm, ebbing pads and plenty of swing whilst mantra-like vocals operate throughout, followed by the thudding ‘Black Glove’ remix with its murky tones and rattling effects.
