Efdemin - Lohn & Brot (Original Mix)

One of the current techno scene’s ‘hidden treasures’, Bristol based A Sagittariun has discretely released a wide breadth of music over the last five years for labels like Secretsundaze, Hypercolour and his own Elastic Dreams label.  Two highly acclaimed albums in “Dream Ritual” and “Elasticity” as well as fifteen EPs have appealed to those who like their techno without frontiers, taking in blistering 140BPM techno, breakbeat IDM and ambient dub with ease.  His second release for Hypercolour displays signs of crossover appeal at long last…

Lead track “Vanishing Point” has already been receiving early plays from the likes of Laurent Garnier (dropping it in his recent Timewarp Germany set), Spencer Parker and Len Faki.  Big pumping beats and spiralling FX fall aside to a lone breakbeat that ushers in one pretty special breakdown section.  The childlike keys and fathoms deep synth stabs (straight out of the John Carpenter school of fathoms deep synth stabs) have already drawn comparisons to the retro 80s vibes to be heard on the American sci-fi horror series Stranger Things.  It’s a breakdown that takes the listener to an uncharted dimension, bookended by slammin’ beats that acts as a perfect mood changer in any set.  Watch this one soar!

“The Pathway” keeps things on an all together straighter tip; an incessant tribal loop weaves and filters around a thunderous kick and shuffling hats, ebbing and flowing all the way in what might be A Sagittariun’s most club-centric and stripped back production yet.   Matrixxman (Dekmantel/Spectral Sound) is on hold to deliver a superb remix; pushing the original down a long dark tunnel for a growling and reverberating techno overhaul.  Splendid stuff from the San Francisco based DJ/producer who is making serious waves on the scene after his landmark 2015 album ‘Homesick’ for Ghostly International.

Lithuania’s Greyscale returns this December with Ohrwert’s ‘Fidelis / Blavus’, backed with remixes from XDB and grad_u. 

Greyscale was launched in 2012 by Lithuanian producer and DJ grad_u, and photographer Rima Prusakova, set up as a platform for material from grad_u and close friends whilst Prusakova’s black and white analogue photography provides the visual identity of the label. 

The original mix of ‘Blavus’ opens the EP, perfectly setting the tone with murky, ethereal atmospherics, billowing dub echoes, modulating percussion and thunderous drums before DubTechno stalwart XDB strips things back a little with soft touches of the originals airy drones 
tucked away in the depths whilst choppy stabs and dynamically unfolding analogue rhythms wander throughout. 

The second original from Ohrwert opens the flip-side, upping the energy levels slightly with hooky stab-sequences, filtered delays and hypnotic melodies running alongside a sturdy percussive foundation. Lastly to round out the release grad_u reworks ‘Blavus’ into a more 
groove-driven workout, employing shuffled hats, looped dub chords and bumpy sub-bass hits throughout. 

Mastered at the legendary Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

Erol Alkan returns to Phantasy with 'Spectrum' and 'Silver Echoes', two pure dance floor cuts which perfectly embody Alkan's charismatic, psychedelia tinged and singular approach to DJing and production.

"Dear friends, it feels so good to be able to write that new music is finally out there. You can stream 'Silver Echoes (Shorter)' from today, ahead of full release on Friday 9th November.  It's a double A side single coupled with 'Spectrum', which I've been playing throughout the summer. The sleeve is also double sided, with the 'Silver' side right above this text, and the flip in full colour.

Both 'Spectrum' and 'Silver Echoes' represent different sides of my current approach to DJing. Ever since I decided to focus on playing longer sets, it immediately became apparent as to the kind of club records I felt I needed to make. I've always loved records which have a distinctive fusion about them, and I feel that 'Spectrum' embodies this... 'Silver Echoes' has that thread of melancholy which seems to manifest itself in much of what I do. Of all the club records I've made, these are two that came together far more naturally. Perhaps it's because I made them for myself, but I hope others will find something in them too.

After spending the last 5 years recording bands, or collaborating with other artists, I decided to write music for my Dj sets, and this is the first offering. Thanks for listening" - Erol Alkan

Collaborators & close friends since the foundational years of Berlin and Detroit’s spiritual & musical partnership, two undisputed pioneers of electronic music, Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald, continue to expand on a shared musical vision. 

‘Attenuator’ is the first production to emerge from a series of studio sessions in Berlin and Detroit over the past two years, with more material to come in the near future. Although originally produced in unison, this two-sided single sees both Craig and von Oswald deliver their own distinct take on the material, each fluidly expanding on their uniquely intertwined heritage.

For his take on ‘Attenuator’, Carl Craig leans further into the fluid blend of track-led techno and warm musicianship that remain central to his work, building stifling tension as a prelude to a fervent brew of warm pads and celestial sax. Headstrong and deep, Craig embraces his dancefloor nous without sacrificing a moment of beatitude

In response, Moritz von Oswald bathes the brass and the bliss of ‘Attenuator’ in the subtle textures he’s long been known for, unspooling layers of musicianship to roll forward a loose, fresh and equally fulfilling atmosphere, one that still maintains the arresting pulse established at the heart of the duo’s sophisticated, futurist philosophy.
