New York’s https://soundcloud.com/sergedevant steps ups for the https://soundcloud.com/crosstownrebels next offering, delivering the much sought after Always On My Mind. After first creeping into the ether through Lazarus’ Radio One Essential Mix back in 2015, the track has been much requested by DJs and fans alike and became a track that stood out in Lazarus’ and Devant’s sets throughout the summer. With its wavy melody and muted vocals courtesy of Ali Love, the track effortlessly cuts through the sounds house sounds of today to lay down a triumphant, classic sounding record.

Having had a remarkable start to 2016 with self aclaimed ‘Illicit Behaviour’ EP, Hot Creations & Paradise pacesetter - Jamie Jones - serves up his latest instalment via the Emerald City imprint.

Leading track ‘Land Of The Giants’ flows into rich orchestral elements, followed up by prominent electronic wobbles before switching the pace - implementing a complex instrumental structure from the get go. Collaborating with Hero Twins (Timothy D Jones – brother to Jamie – and Tarhan Ozkan) for the release, they introduce faint, haunting vocals, paired with a low rolling and distorted bassline to create an underground masterpiece.

In contrast to the title release, ‘The Shoplifter’ focuses solely on the electronic layers weaving throughout the record. The stripped back instrumental resonates a thumping bassline in turn with reverberating bleeps and a murmuring female vocal hook. The breakdown lends its ear to fierce, punchy orchestral chords before signing things off with echoing percussion – transcending Jamie’s ‘Lands Of The Giants’ EP as one of his most experimental workings yet.

Spinning gold is pretty difficult. But that’s what Franz Scala does. Simple when you know how, and this Italian does. Three tracks of pure italo sunshine. Snapping beats and cocktail chords meet on the dancefloor for ‘Discoteca Paradiso’, sleek synthlines keeping time as the pair turn and twirl. ‘Gun Theory’ works in moonlit. Clean drums are sullied by dripping keys, a cigarette locked in the teeth of this after hours affair. And the lights aren’t up yet, Scala has one more floor filler up his sleeve. Pulsing rhythms say there still hope, she’s style out there; but the bitter sweet melodies disagree. A lilting heartbreaker, in the elegant form of ‘Riflessi’.

Following on from his well-received ‘Impermanence’ EP in 2015, Sidney Charles makes a welcome return to the Truesoul fold. 

It may be a surprise to learn Sidney Charles only produced his first record in 2011; indeed, the Hamburg-born, London-based artist has crafted some of the most sophisticated and effective productions spanning the house and techno genre in recent years, taking inspiration from the rough jacking sounds of the early ‘90s. 

His first release on Truesoul in three years sees him in typically inspired form with a versatile four-track package. ‘Jack Endlessly’ builds layer upon layer of groove-ridden beats and ravey stabs that lead into an exaggerated build up, all deftly complimented by a suggestive vocal sample. ‘R.E.D.’ contrasts excellently, a dirty bass-driven cut with shades of Chicago, that makes its mark courtesy of a rousing soulful vocal. ‘Unchained’ sounds as though it was forged in a knives factory, as expertly programmed drums rub shoulders with deep twisted subterranean stabs for a pin-sharp finish. ‘‘Molec’ closes out the EP as a shimmering end-of-night melodic gem that reinforces the German’s versatility and thoughtfulness as a producer.

Almost one year in the making, Bulgaria’s outstanding techno talent lands his return to Drumcode with a four-track EP. 

Timmo (aka Valeri Ivanov) doesn’t do things in half measures. Since the release of his excellent ‘System’ EP last year and ‘Muzik’, his inclusion on A-Sides Vol.6, he’s committed himself to crafting, refining and polishing a quartet of cuts inspired by the cosmic realms beyond planet earth. Titled ‘Meteorite’, its release marks 10 years since he first began producing and stakes its claim as a resounding career highlight with tracks already highlighting gigs for Adam Beyer at Tobacco Dock, Awakenings, Future Kappa Festival and Junction 2.

Beginning with the title track, the streamlined work throbs with a searing synthetic pulse. ‘Black Moon’ sees the EP land its first blow, kicking with a mixture of undulating synths and understated hoovers. ‘Spacetime’ stays true to its name delivering intergalactic techno vibes. ‘Cosmos’ concludes the work, taking us into extra-terrestrial dancefloor territory, with a barrage of trippy synth work and a melodic underbelly the makes the track both beautiful and heavy-hitting in equal measure.

Marco Faraone returns to Drumcode with some of his most inspired work ever, comprising of four tracks crossing the Techno spectrum.

Growing up Marco was surrounded by 90s Italo house and techno, which have all had a part in the current sound he produces today. Never one to stick to any individual style, he can often surprise his fans with a set pumping out peak time beats to down tempo house cuts with catchy vocals.

 “With this release, I took some inspiration from listening back to some old Vitalic sounds and giving some extra power to the use of synths in each track. It’s got a festival vibe to it, which is something I wanted to achieve” - Marco

His last Drumcode EP was back in 2016, so this October he makes a welcome return showing his multiskilled productions at their full potential on this mega 4 tracker, opening with the gargantuan ‘Never Forget’. Mutating rhythmic synths hark back to the good ol’ days of BXR and the limitless talent of the Italian Techno scene in the late 90s. Boiling over in the main break this is crowd-pleasing dance music at its finest. 

‘Cruiser’ is a bumpy upbeat ride with a strong melodic hook that will have the hands raised and the feet stomping. Title track ‘Lunar Eclipse’ is a dense, at times claustrophobic roller. Menacing to begin with, the addition of the main melodic motifs lifts the mood midway. ‘Take This Trip’ rounds out an incendiary EP. Lighter and more musical that the previous three, it offers a joyful, softer message. 

“This is a special release for me, I wanted this to have explosive power yet the perfect balance of melodies and sounds to create a different and unique atmosphere for each track” - Marco

Der glatte Raum gehört den Nomaden, während der gekerbte den Seßhaften ist. 
"„Das Gekerbte ist das, was das Festgelegte und Variable miteinander verflicht, was unterschiedliche Formen ordnet und einander folgen läßt und was horizontale Melodielinien und vertikale Harmonieebenen organisiert“. Kontinuierliche Variation, die Verschmelzung von Harmonie und Melodie zum Ziele der Freisetzung rhythmischer Werte hingegen zeichnet das Glatte aus."

Da läuft eine Nase!

Deadwalkman is known as one of the most prolific and talented producers and DJ of the blossoming colombian techno scene. Based in Bogota, and being a resident of the infamous Baum club, he now joins the OFF Recordings roster. For „Feels Like', Deadwalkman teamed up with Malu Radice, who provides poetic spoken word vocals that perfectly complement the minimalistic acid instrumental. Andre Crom offers a peaktime interpretation of the lead track, adding banging overdriven drums for peaktime feel. „System / Range' is a super-functional techno-tool. „Manhattan Claps' combines chord stabs and (a lot of) claps to build another peaktime monster. Finally, „Sagan Track' delivers a deep and brooding intro-tool, featuring another haunting vocal by Beatriz Dela Pava.

Following on from his debut LP Looking At The Stars in 2014 and Golden Age EP in 2016, Lenzman returns to Goldie’s pioneering Metalheadz label with new single Pictures Of You ft. DRS as he announces his forthcoming Bobby LP.

Warming piano keys in Pictures Of You delicately lead into an ensemble of early hip-hop influences, carefully infused with jazz licks and soulful melodies, yet still in touch with the prime drum and bass scene of today. Elsewhere, DRS’ soothing vocals flow over glimmering percussion and a captivating drum line, cranking out all the right ingredients for a perfectly fine tuned, drum and bass chiller. Showcasing Lenzman’s decade of learning, experimenting and growth as an artist, Pictures Of You ft DRS gives listeners a detailed taste of what to expect from the upcoming album.
