DARK ROSE Records 01: MIKI CRAVEN AND SPEAR: The Rubrik E.P.

Artist: Tripeo
Title: Fourth Trip
Catalogue number: TRIP4
Format: 12” vinyl only
Releasedate: 7th of october
File under: Techno
Tracklist: 
A1: Untitled #7
B1: Untitled #8

Tripeo is feeling a bit more angry on his Fourth Trip. Probably due to massive lay-overs and delays. Untitled #7 and #8 are two industrial cuts with extreme synth- and FX-programming to maximize dancefloor devastation. Only meant to be played out LOUD.

This series is VINYL ONLY, and yes: that really means NO digital release.

Tripeo - Fourth Trip - TRIP4

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

Function | Against The Wall (Rrose Remix)

MindTrip is pleased to introduce Part 2 of its new various artists series ‘From The Lab to The Club’. For this EP, 4 artists – both established and emerging - were selected to contribute music which embodies the spirit of the series. 
This release opens in the strongest possible way, with 2 of techno’s heaviest hitters, Chris Liebing and Pfirter joining forces to produce the driving, heavy and hypnotic ‘420’. Notably, this track signals a welcome return to production for Chris Liebing and shows his ability to create strong, dancefloor techno has 
not diminished. Next up is the highly talented Japanese producer Yuuki Sakai (Subsist, Warm Up Records) with ‘Ballat’, a relentless, percussive track enhanced by subtle, textured elements. 
There is no letup on the B side, which opens with the mysterious Obscure Shape’s ‘Back in Black’. This track promises to yield an intense and building atmosphere, which almost – but not quite – threatens to kill all those who dare to defy its menacing sounds. This strong release is completed with a contribution from UK producer Dax J entitled ‘Revelations’. Make no mistake, this is an intense, compelling track, which builds with a strength which is not for the faint hearted. 

This is MindTrip!

Awakenings Podcast #037 - Albert van Abbe

First teased out in his bumpin' Boiler Room set back in April, six months later we finally had the full track in our hands - and naturally couldn't resist a Debut. The title track off the "Busy Block EP", forthcoming on the burgeoning Audio Culture imprint, is a hefty slab of peak-time house. Severn Beach rides the familial chord progression through a backdrop of 90s IDM signifiers, dipping out momentarily before returning double strength. Get familiar - it'll be steamrolling you on a dancefloor soon.

Bruce's productions really struck a chord from their very first radio plays. With a debut release on Livity Sound off-shoot Dnous Ytivil, and now this downright incredible 12", he's definitely one to keep an eye on in the future.

Fingers crossed for more Hessle records over the next year, but to be honest.. we don't mind waiting when they're this good.

Release date: 27th October

Bruce "My Legs Wouldn't Go Quick Enough" - Boiler Room Debuts

Dixon Avenue Basement Jams dropping yet another sing-a-long inducing slamming house record, this time courtesy of a debut release from Denis Sulta. Look out for it in your local record store from the end of next week..

The new Perc Trax comp is called "Slowly Exploding" - but on only the second track, Drvg Culture throws any notion of pacing out the fucking window. It's a mean creation. The beat banging on your door while the 303 corrodes your windowsill. And yeah, ridiculous name. But c'mon: have you * seen* the "Bound 2" ripoff? You can never be too careful...

TMB are following up a summer of hedonistic exploits with the debut release from their new imprint, Cuttin Headz. “Do That Two (Yes Baby)” has that familiar whiff of techno-grounded house that the sibling pair are notorious for. We’re talking good old fidgety leg-shaker value with this, their limited edition EP due November 10.
 
It follows May’s announcement of Tuskegee – a joint label with Seth Troxler – bringing Latin/Afro-American inspired, vinyl-only releases to your cochleae.

Continuing the trend of breaking new artists, Klasse Recordings returns with a fresh new EP from equally fresh new artists. FJAAK are a three-piece production and DJ outfit hailing from Berlin. Young and full of energy these newcomers turn in a stunningly original and well-crafted EP that is well beyond their years.

The Remember Me EP kicks off with its title track, an all analogue journey into a trippy underworld of arpeggio basslines and wonky pads. Robotic voices boldly repeat refrains whilst synths fight for space over a cantankerous groove. The track drops twice with great effect, making a great use of space and suspense.

Small Gadget heads towards darker territories, sitting somewhere in between House, Techno and UK Rhythms the track builds itself around a huge pulsing bassline. Minimal in its construction, Small Gadget's strength lies in its functionality and those spaces inbetween the sounds. This is a guaranteed dancefloor destroyer.

Seven Miles High is the deepest of the three originals, warm pads and dreamy stabs create an intro that effortlessly transports the listener to a lowdown and nasty bassline. FJAAK once again utilize broken beats and off-kilter rhythms to their advantage, the resulting track is a fantastic mix of deep, raw and groovy elements.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Clone Recordings regular Arttu to Klasse. The now Berlin-based Fin turns in two remixes for the Remember Me EP. Remix Number One is a blistering and fuzzy trip into the mind of Arttu and his synthetic friends, a detuned melody repeats over playful drum machine grooves whilst the original pads sit over the track. Remix Number One is available only on the KLS026 vinyl.

Arttu's Remix Number Two is a different beast altogether, aimed squarely at a deranged dancefloor somewhere in the future the track relies on the original's hooky melody. Arttu takes the original parts and mangles them together with distortion and hiss, shuffling snares and random hi hats create a manic groove that only the loosest can get down to.

Second up for the remix team is American producer and WT Records owner Willie Burns, Mr. Burns' work has recently been showcased on L.I.E.S, Clone and Trilogy Tapes and we're very lucky to have him on board for KLS026. Sounding like a long-forgotten Italo-Electro-EBM crossover hit, Willie Burns' re-works the arpeggios and vocals into a much darker and spooky direction....direct and straight to the point, the remix wastes no time getting stuck into the thick of it.





FJAAK - Remember Me

Still fresh from his debut full length Traces last year, Delta Dunktionen is back with his first EP of the year. As well a new track, it features a special Karenn remix of ‘Onkalo’, a track previously released on Traces, as well as ‘Challenger’ from the same album.

The first original is ‘Sun Storm’ with its tumbling Chicago drums, chattering claps and sci-fi swirls all adding up to something that’s as heady as it is futuristic. ‘Challenger’ – previously cd/digi only - on the other hand sounds like a much more calm and serene trip through the cosmos, with slowed electro stylings and plenty of occult details coming over like the soundtrack to a film as much as a darkened dancefloor.

Uncompromising techno pair Blawan and Pariah a.k.a. Karenn turns in an unsurprisingly brutish version of ‘Onkalo’ that spits and skips through industrial drums, fizzing machine noises and sombre horn sounds. Evil!
