Lyrics:

Creaking mysteries sound your fate
You borrow from everyone else's sorrows for your own 
And you never give them credit
Melting corpses fly around your bellowing presence
I long to get away from you

You lick your fingers of sweet kindness
But you fail to remember that I don't last for too long
One too many occurrences
About to loose it all
You lost it all
And you don't realize it

Vertere - Mind Against & Somne

Constantly turning around itself, the winding melody of Vertere turns outward and inward at the same time, bringing the listener on a journey outward while mirroring a simultaneous labyrinthine journey inward. Like the word itself, Vertere, with its roots in the Latin word Verto (which itself takes its roots in the earlier Sanskrit word, Vartayati) it signifies the very nature of change itself. It means both to turn and reflect inward and yet also move forward — a call to action for setting in motion new things. A paradox at first glance but also perhaps a surprisingly accurate description of the destructive and reconstructive nature of creation. An apt metaphor for this bright new collaboration between established Life and Death artists Mind Against and the new artist project of Federico Maccherone, aka Somne.

On remix duties, when you have an artist of the caliber of Tobias Freund, you don’t need to ask for anything more and with his outstanding remix of Vertere he very clearly shows why. This long time mainstay of the electronic music scene has managed to stay not just relevant but on the cutting edge longer than most with respected releases on some of the most seminal imprints to be putting out music in the world of underground dance music. With Vertere he takes what’s already top quality material and somehow manages to turn it inward and in his own unique way elevate it to another level entirely. With a relentless beat and a sonic force that is hard to describe with mere words the Tobias. remix of Vertere comes out of the gate like a runaway machine rapturously drunk on its own self awareness. It marches ever forward, full of fervor, and will surely be driving dance floors both large and small to the euphoric edge of the ecstatic state.

LAD023 Mind Against & Somne - Vertere

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.

If you're in Ibiza this summer, Solomun's someone you've got to check out.

Holding down residencies at Pacha (Solomun +1) and Destino (Solomun + live), the Diynamic boss never fails to wow with his selection of sublime house and promises fine guests in the shape of Sven Väth, Mano Le Tough and Ida Engberg.

Premiere: Solomun 'Nada'

We can boil this Debut down to a single sentence, really: Demac's done good again. Slivers of sax winch back 'n forth over a fat, buzzy bassline rising steeply in intensity; it does damage. The fact "Axel Foley" sits on a forthcoming Cocoon compilation, and so is going be reverberating around a lot of eardrums this summer, is a big bonus. If you don't feel a tingle of glee picturing Papa Sven hoofing this out, then frankly you just might have something wrong with you.

VINYL PRE-ORDER

Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)

Locked Groove's eponymous label comes forward with its third release, in the form of two-tracker End/Scherzo delivered by the label boss himself. On the flip, "Scherzo" brings forth a track of dark and lively techno. Peppered with forward-driving drums, broken chord synths and dreamlike pads rich in reverb, the track reaches tipping point as it crescendos at its halfway mark, only to fall back down and rebuild once more. A track of sustained euphoria that pre-empts the excitement of hearing it out fully, on a darkened floor.

End/Scherzo arrives on 11 December. On this same date, both previous Locked Groove Records releases will also be made available digitally for the first time.

2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)

8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)

We've got the premiere of 'Hoverboard' a day before it's released worldwide, and you can expect chugging percussion, ominous low-end snarls and space-age chords, all of which fit into the Fur Coat folder of sounds nicely.

Bringing years of musical chops and a keen eye for funk, Ron & Neil transmute their experiences into a bouquet of breezy synth dance tunes.  ‘Pedre Son Éclat’ is a sturdy slice of atmospheric heat, featuring Roland CR-78 samples that are reminiscent of its primordial functions in Waltz, Bossa Nova and Rhumba constructions. Also featured on the release is English DJ/Producer and Correspondant label member, Man Power, who just so happened to premiere here on DHA last week.

Pedre Son Éclat will be available digitally via Futureboogie April 29th.
