6 Leaves Elephant’, the lead single from Stella Z’s debut album ‘In The Woods, Will Be Late', brings nature-tinged atmospherics, quirky synths, and vocal samples together for a fun, understated jam. One of six delicate, effervescent, and deeply expressive sonic trips written in the mountainous seaside province of Fujian, China, Stella Z’s first full-length set of productions lands on Will Hofbauer’s Third Place on 24th February.
Stella Z is a DJ/producer based between China and the UK, holding a residency on Threads Radio with her long-running Mars Weather Today show, where she highlights China’s DJ and producer communities and showcases her exceptional taste in leftfield, cosmic-leaning electronics.

PREMIERE : Stella Z - 6 Leaves Elephant

Happy to present to you: the debut release of interdisciplinary, Korean artist Minju Oh. Studying at the HfG in Offenbach Minju’s approach to making music is always one that is strongly influenced by a second visual layer. The artist herself describes the 6 tracks on this tape as: “a lighthouse to the universe”. Cosmic disco, rough Chicago house, breaks and atmospheric, computer game influenced sounds can all be found within. Enjoy ***.

[PP084] MINJU "Mani Mani" (snippets)

Originally used as an imprint for Irish producer Hammer's original productions, Remmah now readies it's very first various artists compilation featuring sounds from Anna Gram, Scottish-Zambia artist KILIMANJARO and Optimo's JD Wilkes and James Savage under their Naum Gabo moniker.

Following the release of the Daydreamer EP on Remmah last year, you could say this is something of a family affair. Stevie Cox recently joined Harri, Dominic and Telford as a resident at Sub Club's flagship Saturday night (Subculture) and Fossil Archive (a moniker of RMK and Roberto)has been regularly playing across Europe in the likes of Berghain, Tresor and fabric to name but a few.

We're delighted to premiere 'Water Signs' from the forthcoming release, a track that encapsulates the sonic-synergy between both artists as they perfectly translate their aesthetics from the decks to the production desk.

Stevie Cox & Fossil Archive - Water Signs (Remmah) - Plain Sailing Debuts

Something had to give, that much was certain. The situation had become unsustainable and one of them needed to take their leave - who would be the one to take the hit though was another matter entirely... There was a lot riding on that decision. They'd hoped all of this would end in a graceful, amicable compromise but the reality was far from that, only time and space could heal these wounds now. 

You can't mention Tin Man without mentioning acid. The producer has become synonymous with the 303, using the infamous machine to create all kinds of squelchy and hypnotic variations for Global A Records, Acid Test and Infrastructure New York as well as teaming up with artists like John Tejada and Jozef K. For his next release, he makes his debut on Bureau B with Arles, a release that departs from his usual dance floor offerings and explores beautiful melodies and cosmic vibrations - there's no question it's still a Tin Man creation though.

PREMIERE: TIN MAN - Espace Gestuel [Bureau B]

How long had it been since she felt the sun on her face; since she felt the sand between her toes and the fresh sea air clearing her sinuses? Too long than she cared to remember... She could literally taste the freedom on the tip of her tongue, the liberation slowly cascading over her - it was a feeling she never thought she'd have again, but now here she was, looking out to sea with a renewed sense of existence. Who knows what twists and turns lay ahead, what obstacles might be just around the corner... She really couldn't wait to find out.

Optimo Music's Digital Dancefloor series returns with its 49th instalment, this time welcoming Trule boss Al Wootton for a two-tracker that's certified to cause destruction on the dancefloor. Having featured Al's music under his Deadboy alias back in the day on their “Dark Was The Night” mix CD, Optimo now bring him on board for two chuggy, dubbed out disco tracks that both unfold over the course of nine minutes. Laid down live in takes and using hardware synths and external processing, he explores a host of different genres that he's always held dear from post-punk and psychedelia to proto house and dub.

PREMIERE: Al Wootton - Libera [Optimo Digital Dancefloor]

Dance music has always been grounded in a sense of place. Chicago, Detroit, London, Berlin—a zip code can tell you as much about the music as the year it was made. But beyond the nuts and bolts of the here and now lies a netherzone where some of the best electronic music floats, impossible to pin down. Swayzak’s (@s_w_z_k) 'Snowboarding in Argentina' is one such record.

The title hints at its uncanny placelessness. The music has nothing outwardly to do with Argentina, for one thing. The work of UK producers David Nicholas Brown and James S. Taylor, it was recorded in a number of locations—mostly bedrooms—around London. Yet there is little that is quintessentially British about the music. Instead, Brown and Taylor drew much of their inspiration from, on the one hand, the luminous chords and silky heft of Detroit techno, and on the other, the staccato drums and clipped textures that were then beginning to bubble out of Berlin and Cologne.

The core of 'Snowboarding in Argentina' appeared on a series of three two-track singles in 1997. (Taylor brought 10 copies of the first to Berlin’s Hard Wax, sold them directly to the shop for a fistful of Deutschmarks, and turned around and spent the money on records; that’s how DIY electronic music worked in those days.) The album itself appeared in 1998 on London’s Pagan label and quickly built a cult following. It was clear that the music was in conversation with its contemporaries: Heard from the right angle, it was possible to imagine it as a halfway point between the proto progressive house of Underworld and the monochromatic minimalism of Kompakt. But it also didn’t quite sound like anything else around; it was a dispatch from an unknown territory that needed no special understanding to decipher.

A quarter century later, 'Snowboarding in Argentina' sounds simply eternal. Certain hallmarks of ’90s production are available—the music’s almost murky warmth is a reminder of what electronic music sounded like before software swallowed everything into its digital maw—but there’s nothing dated about it. The exploratory nature of these tracks, as the result of experimenting with their machines’ limitations, never eclipses their musical or emotional essence.

Long since been deemed a classic, 'Snowboarding in Argentina' remains an underdog in the annals of electronic music. Its semi-obscurity was surely not helped by the decision to publish nine of its original 12 tracks on the CD, and seven on the vinyl, with only four appearing on both formats. Twenty-five years after its original release, Lapsus’ Perennial Series edition unites, for the first time, all the album’s tracks as a single triple-vinyl package, rounding out the 12 original songs with previously unreleased material. Working off the original DAT premasters, Swayzak have created new edits of all the tracks. The result might be considered the definitive edition of the album as it was meant to be, after a 25-year journey. It seems fitting that an album so timeless would continue morphing throughout its lifespan. For fans, it’s the chance to hear a beloved album as never before. And for newcomers, it’s the perfect introduction to a record that, in its own quiet way, reshaped the sound of electronic music, opening up new frontiers unbound by cartography or calendars.
