B2. Needless To Say

Scandi-lous! We’ve got another other-worldly record for you, courtesy of who? Jeku! The man from Helsinki has given us a much-coveted gift, a gift that traverses incredulity yet still thankfully remains harnessed to the human realm. The story that started below the ozone layer has moved to the stratosphere. Transcendence is coming, and boy has he been busy.

Known to Haŵs and now known to you, Jeku has once more imbued his machine army with the power of time-tested inspirators. Mainlining Roland majesty and early 00s prog into his latest brainchild, the Transcendence EP puts paid to the idea of a record as an interdependent piece of club literature, flowing from one to the next and indulging in a timeless chant between two worlds.

No subterfuge, just a guy from the underground with two ears for unparalleled tranceability. No description, just listen and try not to ascend. It can’t be done. It’s Jeku for you.

@chatnoirfr @robbenspierre

Once is not usual Chat Noir Tools is welcoming an established producer in the name of Robbenspierre for his tenth installment. Since 2017 the italian artist and Club Vision resident has released top notch music on labels such as Land of Dance, Alphaville records, Tone Dropout, Threads, Nugs on board or System Error. After a short break, we're glad to have him for his first vinyl release in three years. His Lacrimosa EP, five tracks filled with melancholic goodness, will stand as the first Tools record sitting halfway between homelistening & the club.

[PREMIERE] Lacrimosa - Robbenspierre | Chat Noir Tools [2023]

For its second release of 2023, Marginal Returns presents its most anticipated - and largest - output to date. Levat is a decade-plus friend of the label, and like us, has always believed that good things come to those who wait. It has been an absolute pleasure seeing his musical career come in full blossom, with an all hardware, fully bespoke live set that is still the talk of each and every town it has visited. 
Live Cutz collects some favourites from the first couple of years of live performances: an all bases covered selection of functional club music providing every angle of “our” groove. From side A’s tougher, peaky moments, the mood switches directly to B1’s technicolour explosion ‘Vai’ and the introspective, grooving B2 ‘M-City’. C1’s ‘Re-Merge’ is a contemporary reimagining of electroclash. C2, ‘BL9’, is a collaboration with the infamous Bruno Schmidt - resulting in a textured, heads-down, tracky roller. Side D strikes a more pensive note, with the acidic infinity of ‘Ice’ and melancholically melodic sign off ’Luv 22’.

Virtual Tools Vol. 1 (Various Artists - OTD002)
- Release date : September 29, 2023
- Production & Edition : Outdom Records
- Distribution : Chat Noir

Already available on Bandcamp : https://shorturl.at/cvBO9

Outdom Records is back with a new Various Artists (Virtual Tools Vol. 1) meant to showcase the sound identity and signature of the label.

Virtual Tools Vol. 1 is the first episode of Outdom’s new project, a series of Various Artists digital only releases, in which confirmed and promising artists are exposed.

In this episode, the six-track compilation is strongly influenced by the early 2000s era of raw and blitzing Electro & Progressive House that was back then swinging the Berlin and London underground scenes. Always through a distinctive hybrid approach, Outdom is giving birth to six unique tracks shaped for the dancefloor, associating vintage drums and samples with more modern synths, basslines and arrangement, giving to the release a particularly mesmerizing feeling. A feeling meant to state loud and clear Outdom’s will : to provide DJs with powerful crowd electrification tools.

----Tracklist----

Titino - Melt Me

The VA starts with the American growing artist, Titino and his track : “Melt Me”, a perfect representation of the 2000’s spooky Electro-House sound, revealing frightening ethereal pads, a nasty gritty bassline and obscure fx & glitches samples scattering the whole track. A perfect way to start this compilation.

JUAAN - Loren Loren

In a quite similar mood, Juaan, the Argentinian rising producer, is back with the second track of the VA, “Loren Loren”, a subtle breakbeat/4x4 combination with a thrilling groove and atmosphere. The fearsome vocal samples and the insidious hypnotic lead can testify, this one is definitely for the heads!

Latent - Robot’s Chinwag

Then, Latent’s new production “Robot’s Chinwag” appears to turn up the mood, alternating between sizzling breaks and a punchy 4X4 kick pattern, associated with a dangerous electro acid bassline and progressive house trippy synths. A really harmful track and a testimonial to robotics, for all dance floors looking for intense stimulation.

BEQA - Dance Elements

Followed by “BEQA - Dance Elements”, as usual, the Georgian wizard does his magic here by switching up the whole VA’s mood. Swiftly assembling a luminous and irresistible groove with bright hasty stabs and pads, he brings a breath of fresh air to the compilation.

Retrolog - Outer Space

Next, Retrolog (founder of Outdom Records with Latent) launches a super explosive and menacing track. The key elements of his signature are represented : a threatening electro bassline bouncing around swinging raw drums, always associated with progressive house typical trancy synths & mysterious vocals.

Venetia - USB 3.0

At last, the rising French producer, Venetia, delivers a textbook signature track, blending a thick growling bassline with a chunky drum groove and catchy cosmic melodies : the perfect recipe to ignite easily all the dancefloors, when placed in the right hands! The best way to end this compilation in a powerful manner.

Mostly recorded in 1996, the four tracks on the "Fictional Selfs" EP exhibit an attention to melody that is skillfully declined in different ways. Whether it is the epic build-up and refrain of "The Mobility of Her Features" - a track which the author admit was "dedicated to a girl larger than life, in many ways..." - or the incredibly cheesy keyboard solos in "Filler 4" - inspired by no less than Mike Paradinas / Mu-Ziq's alias Jake Slazenger: "I've got my Alesis HR16 drum machine just because I knew it was on his kit list..." - Marutti clearly knows his stuff and the entertaining qualities of his music ooze from every note.
