Art Of Trance ‘Octopus - The 2015 Remixes’  [PLATMU92]

1. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Gai Barone’s Gallery Remix)
2. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Perfect Stranger Remix)
3. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Rick Pier O’Neil Remix)
4. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Matt Holliday Remix)
5. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Gai Barone’s Smileodontic Remix)
6. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Original Mix Remastered)

Originally released back in ’95, ‘Octopus’ is one of Simon Berry’s strongest Art Of Trance releases to date. Later that year, it was remixed by R&S artist Capricorn (of 20Hz fame) and Man With No Name, so it seemed that after 20 years new remixes were surely justified.

Italy’s fast rising star Gai Barone has delivered quite possibly the finest remix he’s ever done with his Gallery Remix. Not only that, he decided to do a second remix for good measure.

Israel’s Yuli from Perfect Stranger serves up a very solid mix which stays closer to the original.

Frenchman, Rick Pier O’Neil returns with another sublime slice of sunrise.

Englishman, Matt Holliday offers a spacious and textured soundscape for his interpretation and is followed by a remastered version of the original.

Art Of Trance ‘Octopus - The 2015 Remixes’ is available on 30th November 2015 on Platipus Records exclusively from Beatport and from 14th Dec on all other portals.

Little Wonder / Constantin
1. Little Wonder (Original Mix)
2. Little Wonder (Simon Berry & Luke Brancaccio Remix)
3. Constantin (Original Mix) 
(Platipus Records) PLATMU97
Format: Digital
Release Date: 27 November 2017
Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/label/platipus/16370 

This ‘Little Wonder’ / ‘Constantin’ release is an introduction and taste of what is to come from Martin Merkel in 2018 with the release of his ‘Constantin’ album – a creative project inspired by his emotional journey over the past year and honouring the recent birth of his son. His joining forces with the legendary Platipus Records marks a bold new direction in the label’s evolution, as its creative ethos develops in an exciting Tech House / Melodic Techno direction. The inclusion here of a dynamic remix of ‘Little Wonder’ by recent Bedrock (‘Oblivion’) stars Luke Brancaccio & Simon Berry (Union Jack / Art Of Trance) is an excellent further indicator of the label’s future sonic landscape.

The immediately infectious ‘Little Wonder’ has a timeless quality that makes exceptional music become so treasured. Martin Merkel creates a masterful blend of switching elements as he layers atmospheric excellence over a deeply powerful percussive groove. Building on the original’s complexity, Simon Berry & Luke Brancaccio proceed to lift the track to another level with their remix. A sophisticated, pulsing groove, blended with teasing acidic motifs, this is a master-class in subtle genius as they build a voyage into the realms of peak-time Techno with a distinct filmic, emotive edge. This new duo’s recent output is already finding favour with the likes of John Digweed, Kolsch, Yotto, Nick Warren, Guy Mantzur, Coyu, Victor Ruiz and many other top DJs; and with a new single lined up on Yousef’s Circus label for the New Year, this remix is a taste of more excellence to come.

In perfect contrast to the infectious energy of ‘Little Wonder’, and completing this introductory package perfectly, Martin Merkel’s delightfully different ‘Constantin’ is built on an almost tranquil, low-slung groove, enhanced with hypnotic pulsating motifs and distinctive layers of intricate, heart-melting, melody rich, mood changing moments – a perfect teaser for his album coming in January 2018.

Originally inspired as an artist by the experimental attitude of Italo Disco and the embryonic Techno scene, via parties at the likes if Dorian Grey and Omen (Frankfurt) and Tresor (Berlin), Martin Merkel’s nascent career saw him develop an early love of analogue synthesisers – and saw him fill his studio with a desirable collection of Moog, Roland and Waldorf machinery. In recent years he has moved towards a more compact, travel-friendly digital studio set-up, but his love of synthesisers remains a defining characteristic of his uniquely distinctive musical output today. A master of sonic excellence and musicality, his creations have previously often crept out on the likes of Cinematique, Bonzai, Secondary Tones, JOOF, Monkey Business, Neverending and his own Shelter 54 imprint. Now, under the auspicious guidance of Platipus Records the most exciting new chapter of his career is about to begin.

Papillon [Original mix]

Union Jack - Papillon [Original mix]  [Platipus]

Agents Of Time are proud to present ‘Ordinary Cosmic Dance’, the new EP on their own Obscura imprint. Over three tracks the Bari based trio brandish hypnotic, looping melodies in techno structures with subtle trance references. It arrives a year after the birth of the label, which has since issued music by Hiver, Amandra and The Hacker amongst others.

‘Ordinary Chaos’ builds low end frequencies juxtaposed with a stripped back melodic lead and staccato bass. ‘Cosmic Frequencies’ revolves around a syncopated synth line that swells its way through mesmeric percussion and entrancing pads. ‘Dance Impulse’ takes fragments of dub techno and remoulds them into a glitchy dancefloor workout.

Luke Brancaccio & Simon Berry - Stripes & Stars [Platipus Records]

1. Luke Brancaccio & Simon Berry 'Stripes & Stars' (Original mix)
2. Luke Brancaccio & Simon Berry 'Stripes & Stars' (Torsten Fassbender Remix)

After a glittering parade of releases on Platipus, Bedrock and Circus, Luke and Simon, recently voted one of the world’s best Progressive House Producers via Change Underground, are proud to unveil their sixth collaboration.

Proceedings are centred around a soaring Lead Line where major key harmonics are delivered liberally with unerring patriotism, culminating in a spine-tingling star-spangled 50 state eulogy. A flotilla of gated vocals emanate from a procession of majorettes, which are superseded by Pachelbel style Canon chords for the indoctrinated flag adoring fanatics.

Berlin techno statesman Torsten Fassbender gilds the original in inimitable fashion, in his almost compulsory role of remixing the duo’s work, championing the undercurrent of deep, dark, turbulent European waters, whilst retaining the optimism of the shimmering, chrome plated Lead Line that relinquishes ‘Stripes & Stars’ for the unilateral good.

Exclusive Premiere: Nanoplex - Broken Britain (IbogaTech)

'Nanoplex is the live project from two of the pioneers of the UK progressive techno sound, Ben Coda & DJ Ipcress. Their eagerly awaited 3rd studio album comprises 11 tracks created over the past 2 years and is rather pointedly titled ‘Broken Britain’.

“As games play out across the UK, unification has been replaced with division. We now live in a dystopian political landscape where lies and deceit are the accepted currency.” - Nanoplex 

The album’s diverse and expansive electronic musings have been abstractly provoked and inspired by the state of a nation whose social, economic and political frameworks are failing. A broad creative canvas captures and seeks to portray multiple moods of protest, hope, unity, anger, bewilderment and betrayal.'

Dino Lenny 'Deep & Dark' (Gardens Of God Remix RMX)

The long awaited, highly anticipated, welcoming back for his debut solo release with us, once of the most exciting up and coming artists in Australia, Boy With Boat. Delivering his three-track melodic masterpiece of an EP titled Substance, accompanied by a remix from our own Amuze.

The different records, Substance, The Array and VX, all of which bring you the style and vibe this young lads bring to the table.

Personally, writing this was a leg-stretching, sound solidifying and very special process for him - ranging from fairly dance-floor centred grooves, to heavier melodic elements and driving synthesis.

Amuze has put together his own impression of VX, combining all the elements given to him as well as his own unique twist within the composition. His balance and clarity to strip back the original has done wonders as he delivers another stellar rendition to one of our releases.

We hope you enjoy.

RC091 | Boy With Boat - VX (Original Mix)

1. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Original Mix] 
2. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Torsten Fassbender Remix]
3. Simon Berry - Pangolin [Satoshi Fumi Remix]

Back in 1995, in a 4 page Mixmag Platipus special, Simon Berry was described by Alexis Petridis as “The Unstoppable Trance Machine". A quarter of a century on and Mr Petridis was not wrong. As the force behind Art Of Trance, one half of Union Jack, and founder of Platipus Records, Simon has been consistently fine tuning his trademark sound with chart topping singles on Bedrock, Platipus and Circus.

Following on from his ground breaking solo excursions ’Black Rainbow’, ‘Anaconda’ and ‘Rogue Planet’, Simon makes a return to nature with ‘Pangolin’.

Opening with the omnipotent original, ‘Pangolin’ emerges from the undergrowth as a low slung elusive anomaly. Rattling percussion paves the way for oriental ear bending arpeggios, soaring chords and descending scales, providing shimmering glimmers of hope for a more utopian vision of the future beyond pandemonium.

Ominous low frequency oscillations introduce the second instalment of 'Pangolin' by Berlin frequency wizard Torsten Fassbender. Spiralling glitched arpeggios are interspersed with jagged fluttering sawtooth pulsations. A divine audio delicacy to be savoured, or a medicinal musical doctrine?

Tokyoite DJ, producer, label owner and radio presenter Satoshi Fumi has been sharpening his katana over the course of time with a collection of quality releases on esteemed labels such as Get Physical, Bedrock and Moodmusic. Premiering on John Digweed’s Bunker Session 12, Satoshi’s instalment of 'Pangolin' is quite possibly his strongest remix to date. He unashamedly dissipates any distancing rules to implement a gentle pummelling of deep driving House, rich in rhythm and melodic tech nostalgia, revealing his roots in early 90's Chicago House and Detroit Techno, in a noble attempt to save it from extinction.

1. POB - Darkness
2. POB - Lightness*

https://www.beatport.com/release/darkness-lightness/3112005

https://www.facebook.com/PlatipusMusic

POB (Paul Brogden) has been lurking elusively behind the scenes now for some time, most notably remixing classics such as ’Heaven Scent’ by Bedrock, ’Break For Love’ by Raze, as well as numerous releases on Bedrock, his own label Seismic, and Platipus who released his excellent debut album ‘Essence’. He’s also collaborated with Simon Berry as Clanger since 1993 and Union Jack with their seminal album ’Pylon Pigs’.

After a seven year solo hiatus, and never one for seeking the limelight, POB proudly unveils his latest overtures. Shunning the traditional remix route, Paul yields two truly unique offerings.

‘Darkness’ plunges to new depths with rolling subtones, relentlessly hypnotic guiro-esque hihats and an arsenal of deranged vocals.

‘Lightness’ discharges a crusading cacophony of grotesque vocal warblings fresh out of the asylum, a barrage of dark bass, and a couple of psychotic heavy breathers that bizarrely crossfade into light-drenched synth chords. You couldn’t make it up … POB can. 

*Featured on John Digweed’s Bunker 25

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
[Dylan Thomas]

Collusion

1. Simon Berry - Maelström [Original Mix]
2. Simon Berry - Maelström [Torsten Fassbender Remix]
3. Simon Berry - Maelström [OCHERii Remix]

Having concluded his resounding astral explorations with ‘Rogue Planet’ and ‘Martian Sunrise’, Simon submerges himself into unchained, uncharted waters.

A vortex of dark and tempestuous gated strings in the Original Mix are underpinned by a metallic resonating bassline, splintered percussion and twisted swirling vocal fragments that pull you under. 

Initially offering a false sense of calm, Torsten’s remix is anything but. Beyond the gentle undercurrent of synth vapour and spiralling arpeggios emerges a menacing and minacious moog riff set to cause the perfect storm. This is quite possibly Torsten’s finest work to date.

Continuing the descent into the maelström, seasoned Israeli DJ/Producer OCHERii delivers a sublime slab of innovative hypnotic Techno at its finest. Pulsating surging base waves provide the turbulent backdrop to more treacherous depths. A relentlessly unnerving drone funnels it’s way into the mist-drenched aether, interspersed with cicada-esque hihats, granular sequences and a plethora of OCHERii’s trademark deep and subtle modular warblings.

All three versions of Maelström represent the diversity of sound and depth that is befitting of recent releases on Platipus.
