Platipus

'Cloud' is the first release by Paul Brogden's solo project POB in almost a decade.

Crisp beats on the original underpin a bed of Spangly Arpeggios, bouncy waveforms, and interspersed 'Feeling' vocals by the man himself.

Airwave widens the projectile with power-drums, driving the main riff to new plateaus.

Terra Ferma delivers a quirky 3 time colmulonimbus experience that requires extreme volume levels to fully appreciate.

CLOUD

POB - Cloud (Original Mix)  [Platipus]

Originally released in 1993, Two Full Moons & A Trout was one of the seminal releases on Platipus Records.

It was picked up by Rising High in 1994 featuring the epic remix by Caspar Pound and mix by Friends Lovers & Family.

Platipus delivered 2 further remixes in 2006 by Luke Chable, Chab and Tetonik^.

Now 7 years later and 20 years after the original release, we thought it's time for a fresh take on this legendary release.

This time round from with mixes from Belgium's Airwave, Israel's Freedom Fighters & Domestic and USA's Terra Ferma, each bringing their own take within today's sound along with the Original 14" Mix.

Art Of Trance & LOUD & Domestic 'Moroccan Roll' (ON3 Remix) Platipus Preview

Still on a roll, Art Of Trance producer Simon Berry unleashes his second production this year, this time going it alone.

Vocodered vocals float over a deep chugging tribal undercurrent. Heavily verbed hypnotic square-waves blast out unreservedly and syncopated flanged ricocheting percussion collide into the ether.

Kaukuta’s Terra Ferma Remix retains the pumping throbbing underbelly of the original whilst elevating matters skyward by unleashing vicious acidic barking 303’s.

After completing 13 remixes in the past few years Terra Ferma is now concentrating on finishing a new EP of original music to be released this year as well as working on two new separate collaborations with artists ‘Red.Tree' and ‘Kevens'.

Ricochet Will be released: 28th May 2014 on Platipus.

Art Of Trance 'Ricochet' (Terra Ferma Remix) Platipus

“Trance Mission” is Paul Oakenfold’s new album. It features a collection of Oakie covers of some of his all time favourite records and “Madagascar” (originally by Art of Trance) is the fourth single from the album (Following Toca Me, Café Del Mar and Ready Steady Go). And this one is for the die hard Fluoro fans.

“Madagascar” was released on Simon Berry’s Platipus label in 1998 and has seen a number of remixes since.

Paul: “This was a huge record by Art of Trance who were amazing pioneering producers signed to Platipus Records back in the day. This first came out in 1998 with remixes from Cygnus X and then the record went stratospheric when Ferry Corsten and PUSH remixed it little later. This was Cream Courtyard anthem of massive proportions and it was a lot of fun making this new cover version, which I wanted to keep in a pumping full on trance style.”

As well as the killer original which features Paul in full throttle Fluoro mode “Madagascar” features new remixes from trance stalwart Yahel and, fresh from his remix of The Smuggler From Bombay, 140 tech god Harmonic Rush. 

Mac & Monday complete the package with a classy take in trademark M&M style. 

Trance Mission album is released on June 20th.

Catalyst ‘The Chamber’  [PLATMU89]

1. Catalyst ‘The Chamber’ (Movements One to Three)
2. Catalyst ‘Seahorse’

Catalyst is the solo project of London based Mark Brogden who is the younger brother of Paul Brogden (POB / Union Jack).

Conceived over 22 years ago, ‘The Chamber’ was originally released in ’93 on Colin Faver’s influential label Rabbit City (early Aphex Twin / Spiral Tribe etc), after it was performed at the legendary Knowledge night at SW1 Club in London and featured on a mix tape by Sven Vath.

The Chamber is an evocation of an incredible journey that takes the mind through wonderful realms of science fiction, glimpsing on possibilities presented by advanced extra-terrestrial forms. Strong orchestration, fine control of synthesised sounds, intense arpeggios and pacy rhythms propel the listener forward through the three interconnecting movements and their internal passages. Experience the whole journey in this 21 minute electronic masterpiece.

Movements and their passages:

Movement One: Approach, aurora, marching, acceleration, grande hall
Movement Two: Electric data storm, data communique overload
Movement Three: Time, space, motion

Seahorse: Brush through the shallow warm tropical waters, air pockets bubbling up from the seabed and underwater plant-life gently sway. The expanse opens up and the seahorse is revealed in all it’s enigmatic glory.

Catalyst ‘The Chamber’ / ‘Seahorse’ is available on 19th Jan 2015 on Platipus Records.

Union Jack - ‘Cactus’ 2017 Remixes [PLATMU96]

1. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (Jonno Brien Remix)
2. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (Adam Kent Remix)
3. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (OOOD Remix)
4. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (Airwave’s Dark and Long Mix)
5. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (Quietman Remix)
6. Union Jack ‘Cactus’ (Original Mix Remastered)

Originally released in 1994, ‘Cactus’ is regarded as one of Union Jack’s finest moments. 23 years on, despite a plethora of requests, no remixes have ever been commissioned…until now.

Irish Techno DJ/Producer and rising star Jonno Brien originally got the ball rolling last year when he sent in his remix out of the blue. It was quite simply too good to be ignored. Carl Cox, who was one of only a handful of DJ’s to be sent the mix, hammered it worldwide and included it as one of his highlights at the Closing Party @ Space, Ibiza.

Adam Kent serves up a driving semi-spangled tech houser.

Psychedelic sorcerers OOOD remain faithful to the prickly original but slam it into the 21st planet and beyond.

Airwave’s Laurent reappears with an extended gloaming exploration into Cactaceae cornucopia.

After a long hiatus, Quietman’s Laurence and Wilf emerge from a shimmering mirage with a sublime slice of desert sunrise. 

‘Cactus - 2017 Remixes’ will be released 12th June 2017 on Beatport. Global release 27th June 2017 on Platipus.

Union Jack: Gibbon / Baboon

Released: 5th November on Platipus
http://www.beatport.com/label/platipus-music/16370
http://www.junodownload.com/products/union-jack-gibbon/2075112-02/

This 2 track single is the first release by Union Jack in 3 years since their highly acclaimed 'Pylon Pigs' album.

Gibbon: Tropical soundscapes provide a backdrop for this 3-time bass groover. Hand-woven psy-elements include Oscar harmonics laced with frog chorus and monkey juice.

Baboon: A gnarly reverse baseline driven sparse excursion blended with dark yet optimistic arpeggios offering light at the end of the tunnel.
