Electronic innovator Max Cooper steps up to Atomnation with one of his standout remixes.

https://atomnationrec.lnk.to/EveMaxCooperRemix

Cooper is someone who combines his academic background and science PhD with high concept electronic music-making. He has worked with machine learning specialists, often uses video to enhance his music and is someone who brings personal emotion as well as technical skill to his work. It comes on his own Mesh label as well as Fields and most recently in the form of his acclaimed Unspoken Words album back in March.

His take on Awe Kid's 'Eve' is built on breakbeats that float through space. Plunging bass dives down deep as the celestial ambient pads float up top. There is tension in that duality that tugs at you both emotionally and physically as well-crafted synth patterns unfold in their midst.

This is a heady, pensive track that is perfectly suited to those late-night moments on the dance floor and compliments Awe Kid's lush debut LP 'Body Logic' that was released in April this year.

Continuing on from his Odyssey EP released in 2013, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles creates atmosphere and space whilst exploring waves of sound and rhythm, and the power of colour. With Sonne Ryan creates music to structure itself around a pulse, rather than the pulse being the defining point. 

The title track begins with “a very subtle set of melodies that repeat almost without confidence, and then gradually give way to a huge collage of colour and power”, as Ryan describes it. Not relying on a conventional beat, it’s a prime example of how an analogue synthesiser can create the power and momentum of a rhythm section. From the distorted waves in 3 Chords, growing and shrinking, to the rhythmic waves of constant speeding up and then slowing down in Recovery, it’s the Moog Voyager, Prophet and tape delay that make up the core sound of the EP. Whilst tracks like Helios, Haunt and Think Tank see West play live drums and acoustic guitar.

“I’m often looking at art in exhibitions and I always think to myself ‘why the hell don’t I have this much colour in my work?’ The answer in part I think is down to synthesis. It is very difficult to create colour without it sounding plastic. Colour in music is both the note combinations and the actual timbre of the sounds. There are lots of instances of very colourful ambient sounds, which I took great care to create for each song, using various methods – from passing analogue synths through chains of effects to chopping up random sequences of recordings and forming tiny collages." – Ryan Lee West 

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:  

Resembling the colour and vibrancy in his music, the cover art was created by South London artist Supermundane, who was also responsible for the artwork of the Odyssey EP.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Some might be surprised that London based electronic producer Ryan Lee West, the man behind Rival Consoles, shares a home with contemporary classical composers such as Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Peter Broderick. And yet they have a lot more in common than expected. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester. One consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. Ryan often drafts early ideas on piano, violin and guitar, although the end result is much more electronic-laden. As an accomplished sound designer he has repeatedly performed at the Tate, and recently created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A. Ryan is currently composing music for a soon to be announced BBC production.

LIVE:	
	
After supporting Luke Abbott on his recent UK tour and I Break Horses on their North American tour in spring, Ryan will debut his new live set with a special release show in London, followed by a string of West Coast U.S. dates culminating in Decibel Festival in late September – more details to be announced soon.

Casino Times - Some Of Her Love - snippet

Been quite a year for WOLF - thanks to everyone who has been involved with what we do, and to those that have got up in the dance wherever we have played.

We have done a mix of tracks that have been a pleasure to release this year (and some that we signed this year, but not out till Jan). WOLF only stuff. Could have put all our tracks in here as we love each and every one of them, but time is tight and Jive Bunny's fees were too high.

Track-list for the mix:

1) James Welsh - Zippyshare (WOLFEP013)
2) Casino Times - Heart Strings (WOLFEP017)
3) Medlar - The Sun (WOLFEP016)
4) Greymatter - Sweat (James Welsh Remix) (WOLFEP014)
5) James Welsh - M62 (Medlar Remix) (WOLFEP013)
6) Terrence Pearce - Majik (WOLFEP015)
7) Greymatter - TIEF (WOLFEP012)
8) Greymatter - Pick N' Roll (WOLFEP014)
9) Medlar - Knockard Pearl (Detroit Swindle Remix) (WOLFEP016)
10) Squareheard & Mella Dee - Get Together (WOLFEP015)
11) Bicep - MIXXMASTER 88 (WOLFEP017)

Now That's What I Call WOLF Music - 2012

At the end of october a white label pressing of “Make It Good” caused a stir in club land. The track impressed Gilles Peterson so much that he licenced it right away for his next Brownswood Bubble compilation. Now, finally we have the official release on Sonar Kollektiv hitting the stores. Next to the original version the 12inch is equipped with a remix by veteran Phon.o. The Bristish duo The White Lamp called attention to themselves for the first time with a release on Futureboogie in April. Now they already produce a masterpiece with “Make It Good”. A track that works probably in every club of this world. The hypnotic bassline lures the laziest butt on the dancefloor and when the vocals set it, then, well then there’s no holding back anymore. 

The already very impressive remix portfolio of the old hand Berliner Phon.o is now enriched with a further gem. The additional synth chords and the radical vocals re-arrangement turn the track into a confidently stylish hybrid of Chicago House and Techno.
