DEEPCHORD | De Wallen
[SOMA378]
Pre-order: http://www.somarecords.com/shop/music/soma_378/

1. De Wallen
2. Range Lights
3. Prayer Wheel 


Prior to the release of Deepchord’s 3rd full length on Soma, we are pleased to deliver yet another exclusive, limited edition picture disc in the form of 3 track ambient piece, “De Wallen”. This specially crafted EP is strictly limited to one vinyl only run and features photography by Rod Modell himself. 

De Wallen's layers of deep, swirling, metaphysical atmosphere and processed recordings of the area that it is named after, provide a sonic-photograph of Amsterdam's red-light district at 3am. Possibly the only soundtrack ever composed for this area. Otherworldly, and charged with a deep frenetic energy, this music presents an inter-dimensional portal into darker realms. Electromagnetic radiation etched into a piece of vinyl for phonographic dispersion. This is a unusual piece of "sound art" rather than merely electronic music, and has little (or nothing) to do with dance music's frivolity. Side B of this release reflects De Wallen's "sound art" aesthetic. "Prayer Wheel" is a generative-music life form (inspired by the night-sky and seaside) that expands, contracts, and mutates like a living organism. "Range Lights" is a luminescent sonic artefact, recently unearthed after years of being buried. The analog warmth and imperfections inherent of the vinyl format further the surreal nature of these artworks in a way that no digital format could reproduce. A new paradigm in "sound art". Immersive, shimmering, electro-mystical atmospheres that the adventurous sonic-traveller will find themselves often revisiting.

Excell — 201311261235 — 60' vinyl session

First making an appearance with his spaced-out edit of Next's "Too Close" on our Edits EP at the end of 2013, this is the first full EP from Danish newcomer Erosion Flow (Henrik Koefod). This record pitches the breadth of Koefod's sound running swinging, gritty house against grime-infused 4/4 and off-beat electronica. Already getting serious support from the burgeoning Danish house scene, this EP shows the damage that Erosion Flow can do! 

Release on 12" & digital 1st April 2014.

MMAKEM012 - Erosion Flow - The Hustle

This is Matthias Vogt's third installment on Polytone Recordings!
With "Maintain" he proves distinct feeling for musicality once more: As Vogt is an accomplished Jazz pianist, he is able to move easily between uplifting drive and harmonic substructures.
The flip side deals with the welcoming of two illustrious remix artists to Polytone's roster: Bleak and Vince Watson.
Bleak is renowned for having his musical output released on labels like Delsin and Deeply Rooted House. On remix duties Bleak drops hell of a Detroit vehicle. Based on significant drum grooves his remix will ultimately shake the dancefloor to its foundations.
Vince Watson's discography goes back to the mid-nineties and we vainly tried to keep track of his enormous musical output. Maintaining the spirit and the vibe of Vogt's original tune Vince Watson takes the original track and turns it into a string and pad driven sonic exploration perfectly fitting for Polytone's eclectic approach.

Matthias Vogt - Maintain (Bleak Scene Rework) | PLTR011

Artist: Patrick Zigon
Title: Ich See
Remixer: Pablo Bolivar & Noah Pred 
Label: Biotop
Cat: BioLab004
Format: vinyl & digital
Release: 04.08.2014

The german dj & producer Patrick Zigon is back - with his label Biotop, and with his first vinyl release after 2 years. Located at the beautiful Lake Constance area in Southern Germany, Patrick Zigon builds with his label a biotope for friendly artists, which is focused on experimental and open-minded electronic music.
After the first digital releases, Biotop drops the first vinyl on the market. 

Patrick Zigon's "Ich See" was released on Biotop's [aLIVE] compilation, and is without doubt one of the brightest moments in the young label-history. "Ich See" is a typical Patrick Zigon track with deep and dubby chords and atmospheres, a huge kick, a heavy bassline and strong, undeniable Detroit-influences. Some call it Neo-Detroit, some call it Detroit-Dub... however you call it - it's deep, dubby and detroitish.

Patrick invited two well respected electronic artists to put their mighty skills on the original track. Avantroots & Desolat's Pablo Bolivar remains very close to the original, adding a huge organ-bassline, which makes it even more melodic, deep and housy. Thoughtless Music & Get Physical's Noah Pred completely rebuilds the track. He adds noises and bleeps, and delivers a techy, trippy voyage.

"Ich See" will be released beginning of august on vinyl & digital, completed with a beautiful artwork by Maralotta (patam) and amazing videos by visual-artist Tripfabrik. More information on www.biotop-label.net. Biotop is alive.

Mr McKay is back on Drumcode with an EP that is very close to home, titled ‘Glasgow Safari’. Harvey has blended his synonymous synth stabs and vocal hooks together and has created another outstanding EP. The drums are fat and chunky as always and allow Harvey’s ideas to flow effortlessly over a solid foundation. The smooth use of dynamic throughout Harvey’s tracks also create impressive drops to add to another exceptional EP from Harvey.

Monoloc | Gipson EP
[SOMA427D]

1. Gipson
2. Cupel 

Soma welcome Techno behemoth Monoloc for his label debut with two dark, brooding Techno tracks in his inimitable style with the ‘Gipson EP’. Monoloc was born in 1980 in Frankfurt am Main. He first got in touch with the booming electronic music scene of this Techno metropolis at the age of 16 and soon bought his first set of records. Since then, his life has revolved around his ultimate goal; manifestation of his musical vision in the form of dj sets as well as his very own productions.

Title track Gipson kicks off with deep, pumping subs and kicks with a slowing evolving atmosphere creating great tension through the body of the track. Monoloc subtly pulls back the throttle only to launch back it with bold, crashing percussion. Most definitely one for the more moody dance floor.

On the flip, Cupel starts off a little lighter but defiantly delivers a punch. Muted kicks and atmosphere provide the backdrop while delayed synths trip out over the top. Monoloc picks up the pace ever so slightly as skipping hi hats given the track more urgency before ethereal pads glisten through the heart.

An exciting debut from a true master of Techno
*All tracks mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering

Monoloc - Cupel (Soma 427d)

Relentless techno releasing machine !Organism has another hot platter ready for us to enjoy, this time coming from Uron & John V complete with a Keith Carnal remix. 

Uron, signed to labels like Analytical Trail and Refluxed Records, is made up of David Padilla & Juan Kue, Colombian DJs who have become some of the finest techno tastemakers in all of South America in recent years. Here they hook up with fellow Columbian John V, who is a Drumcode aligned producer based in Spain. 

Up first is ‘Figure 7.5’, a dark, thumping and lo fi bit of drum funk with groaning chords and a real sense of desertion in its groove. Unnerving alarm sounds and clever filters help add to the sense of growing tension and when it drops proper, it’s sure to take the roof off. 

This one gets remixed by Keith Carnal, a household name in the Amsterdam techno scene since 2008 and someone who has had his tracks played by the likes of Chris Liebing and releases on AFFIN. His remix is more melodically intense and hypnotically minimal in the mould of early Jeff Mills with its searchlight synths and serene pad work. 

Lastly, ‘Figure 7.4’ is a fat, rolling bit of techno with gloopy synths, double claps and a real sense of atmosphere in the grainy pads. Driven perfectly on a frictionless kick lead groove, it will carry dancers deep down the rabbit hole in some style.

!63 : Uron & John V - Figure 7.5 (Keith Carnal Remix)

ANTIFUSE
Welcome to the dark side. Where chaos is the constant, distortion forms the standard and frontiers are built out of opaque shadows. Mumbling voices are hunting you through a maze of creepy synthesizer sounds. Welcome to Antifuse.
With their latest release, the Berlin-based duo NERKKIRN are following their path of experimental techno sounds, this time leading into dark shades of whirring electronic sounds. By creating a gloomy, yet groovy tune, Antifuse builds up a perfectly conductive path within the unique sound system of Snork Enterprises.
Like a mysterious rollercoaster, four versatile tracks are pulling you into a vague ride through various spheres of electronic sounds. Starting off with high speed into the deep and gloomy mines of underground techno, Dipode unfolds its dark side in full blast. Moving forward, Antifuse chases you upside down on a roaring bass line merging into Electronichangover. There, in a reduced atmosphere of sound, subtle tunes still forcefully keep pushing you through an odd darkness until everything, then, flows into a slight glow at the end of the tunnel - Reversebias.

NERKKIRN
„NERKKIRN is what happens when you pair two very different electronic musicians with a shared passion for warping sonic technology - and set them loose.“ Yet, speaking of paths, it has always been the new and experimental approaches that kept Nerk aka Benjamin Weiss and Peter Kirn moving and finally formed their intersection.
Having founded the legendary Berlin rave act Tok Tok, Benjamin Weiss has been an innovative artist within the techno scene for many years now, including releases on Kompakt, Klang, and V-Records, often in collaboration with Dirk Leyers, as well as the co-creation of a new iPad step sequencer.
As a classically trained experimental musician the Kentucky-born Peter Kirn has been working in a wide range of fields such as modern dance, ambient audiovisual shows, as well as piano and underground experimental techno. Yet he might be best known as co-creator of the MeeBlip synthesizer and as the editor of CDM (createdigitalmusic.com). Again a common space he shares with Nerk, founding editor of De:bug.

Snork Enterprises
It's a distinct sound diving deep down into the spheres of genuine underground techno where bass-lines surround your mind and the fascination of a gloomy yet groovy world of sounds inevitably enters your head.
Founded in 2004 by techno DJ and producer Christian Schachta known as Syntax Error, Snork Enterprises is a base for modern underground electronic techno music. It's not at all about being pretentious or arty for the sake of it. It's about real depth on the dance floor. Short and sweet: very snorky!
It's a journey with friends such as Cristian Vogel, Phil Kieran, Jens Zimmerman, Daze Maxim, DJ W!ld and other big names from the techno scene having dedicated themselves to an uncompromising, stunning beat to go even further on a trip to the instantly exceptional, experimental sounds, ranging back to various roots of electronic underground.

Deepchord
Hash Bar Remnants Part 2
(Soma319d)

Release Date: 26/09/2011

1. Amsterdam Remnant 3 
2. Amsterdam Remnant 4 
3. Amsterdam Remnant 5 (Digital Only) 
4. Amsterdam Remnant 6 (Night Air Mix)

SOMA 20 YEARS [1991 – 2011]

Deepchord follows recent album release Hash Bar Loops and sell -out 12 inch Amsterdam Remnants, with even more luscious, flowing and atmospheric dub techno.

Hash Bar Remnants part 2 continues in similar vein, with controlled evolving elements, and a deep, troubling groove, built around towering soundscapes, warm chords and a rolling sub-bass . Track 2 follows with a dynamic and taut cymbal attack, guiding the listener through distant, travelling synth lines. Both tracks tread a fine line between relaxed, restrained atmospheric dub, and upbeat and dancefloor orientated Techno.

Remnants 5 and 6 follow as digital only releases, and continue to stimulate the listener’s ears. A heavy, penetrating low-end and static, repetitive textures are set against percussive elements which race from left to right across the aural field. The Night Air Remix adds a further dub feel to proceedings, losing the 4/4 kick, in favour of full off-beat production, while carrying the tense, profound and atmospheric melody present in the preceding tracks.

Rod Modell excels creating in ruminative, studied, and intense electronic music which we are delighted to give our full support to.

Deepchord - Amsterdam Remnant 3 (Soma 319d)

1. Slam – Groovelock (Echospace Detroit Mix One) 
2. Slam - Groovelock (Deepchord Centrum remix)
3. Slam - Groovelock (Echospace Detroit Mix Two) [Digital only]
4. Slam - Groovelock (Deepchord Rebuild) [Digital only]
5. Slam - Groovelock (Deepchord Atmospheric Rebuild) [Digital only]

Slam’s 1995 track undergoes some serious remixing, reshaping and loving focus on Slam remixed Part 6. This is an extensive exploration of the 14 minute original, with this ‘single’ release providing over an hour of music. Deepchord supplies remixes both under that name and as part of the Echospace project and this interconnection offers a detailed involvement with the 1995 track.  The original track used smooth, full bass which merged with the varied samples and effects to create a deeply engaging single. On this subsequent single the remixes offer subtle variation on aspects of the original. Certain samples effects and production elements are reintegrated at various points and the focus and dynamic are shifted and stretched.

The first Echospace ‘Detroit mix One’ really heightens some of the echo and reverb to bring a dub essence to the track with panning, overlaying and filtering stretching the tracks production in this dub direction.  

The second Echospace ‘Detroit Mix Two’ is a more concise and concentrated piece which retains the original’s prominent and melodic bass-line. However, the smooth bass of the Slam original is jarred somewhat with an industrial touch and sculpting of the sound. African drum samples are integrated and add freshness to some of the rhythmic patterns. There is also ebb and flow in the interaction of metallic percussion and floating synths.

The Deepchord remixes express an ambient and slow-building production. The ‘Centrum remix’ is darker and deeper than the original and uses sparse development of the original sounds aligned with rhythmic structure to build the tempo. The Deepchord ‘Rebuild’ continues this theme with the recognisable bass used sparingly as an undercurrent of the developing track. This track is a little more restrained and the ambient build up reaches its conclusion with vocals and effects offering a constant wave of sound towards the latter section. As the title suggests the ‘Atmospheric Rebuild’ extends the themes of the rebuild remix and shifts focus to develop a more ethereal sound.
