After 6 years, label boss Ewan Jansen circles back to Red Ember’s main with a new EP. 
A concept journey equally for the mind and the dancefloor that strays from his house roots with themes of mysticism pushing wider rhythm palettes and creative synthesis.

The opener ‘Solanoid’ marches over the horizon; a solid progression of sun-scorched chords, goaded by some distinctive chanting synths and driving bass.
‘Caravania’ answers as a stomping IDM-esque fable, joined by bubbling rhythms on the ground and a central writhing serpentine synth guided from high above by voices unknown.   
The flip side quickly de-camps from the physical, with the organic ‘Mistik’ seeing elements of rave and tribal electronica driven by tuned kicks, sub-bass and resonant rhythms.
Lastly, a stoic tome of stone and water is left with ‘Gecko’ – a skittish chunky groove, with isolated melancholic tones that find harmony in the end.

Virtual Tools Vol. 1 (Various Artists - OTD002)
- Release date : September 29, 2023
- Production & Edition : Outdom Records
- Distribution : Chat Noir

Already available on Bandcamp : https://shorturl.at/cvBO9

Outdom Records is back with a new Various Artists (Virtual Tools Vol. 1) meant to showcase the sound identity and signature of the label.

Virtual Tools Vol. 1 is the first episode of Outdom’s new project, a series of Various Artists digital only releases, in which confirmed and promising artists are exposed.

In this episode, the six-track compilation is strongly influenced by the early 2000s era of raw and blitzing Electro & Progressive House that was back then swinging the Berlin and London underground scenes. Always through a distinctive hybrid approach, Outdom is giving birth to six unique tracks shaped for the dancefloor, associating vintage drums and samples with more modern synths, basslines and arrangement, giving to the release a particularly mesmerizing feeling. A feeling meant to state loud and clear Outdom’s will : to provide DJs with powerful crowd electrification tools.

----Tracklist----

Titino - Melt Me

The VA starts with the American growing artist, Titino and his track : “Melt Me”, a perfect representation of the 2000’s spooky Electro-House sound, revealing frightening ethereal pads, a nasty gritty bassline and obscure fx & glitches samples scattering the whole track. A perfect way to start this compilation.

JUAAN - Loren Loren

In a quite similar mood, Juaan, the Argentinian rising producer, is back with the second track of the VA, “Loren Loren”, a subtle breakbeat/4x4 combination with a thrilling groove and atmosphere. The fearsome vocal samples and the insidious hypnotic lead can testify, this one is definitely for the heads!

Latent - Robot’s Chinwag

Then, Latent’s new production “Robot’s Chinwag” appears to turn up the mood, alternating between sizzling breaks and a punchy 4X4 kick pattern, associated with a dangerous electro acid bassline and progressive house trippy synths. A really harmful track and a testimonial to robotics, for all dance floors looking for intense stimulation.

BEQA - Dance Elements

Followed by “BEQA - Dance Elements”, as usual, the Georgian wizard does his magic here by switching up the whole VA’s mood. Swiftly assembling a luminous and irresistible groove with bright hasty stabs and pads, he brings a breath of fresh air to the compilation.

Retrolog - Outer Space

Next, Retrolog (founder of Outdom Records with Latent) launches a super explosive and menacing track. The key elements of his signature are represented : a threatening electro bassline bouncing around swinging raw drums, always associated with progressive house typical trancy synths & mysterious vocals.

Venetia - USB 3.0

At last, the rising French producer, Venetia, delivers a textbook signature track, blending a thick growling bassline with a chunky drum groove and catchy cosmic melodies : the perfect recipe to ignite easily all the dancefloors, when placed in the right hands! The best way to end this compilation in a powerful manner.

VINYL: https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/snad-labyrinthine-ep-feat-huerta-remix-pre-ord-phonica-am/190938
DIGITAL: https://phonicarecords.bandcamp.com/album/labyrinthine-ep

No stranger to the limelight with a string of forward-thinking, sought-after releases under his belt, Snad joins the roster of cutting-edge artists bringing his spark to Phonica AM under curation of Luther Vine.

The 'Labyrinthine EP' opens with a relentless 4 to the floor club ready firestarter. Aptly titled 'Quark' hits the spot in all the right places. Its swinging drum work out and oscillating chords swirl to a frenzy and guarantee to set any a dance floor ablaze.

The A2 'Labyrinthine' boots off with Snad's unique take on UK 90s Tech-House, full groove, snare syncopation and whirlwind of off-centre synth cords, adding to his effervescent sound design.

The flip side opens with a killer remix fellow Berliner expat, Huerta's take on 'Quark'. The remix retains the destructive dance floor potential of the original and adds somewhat in the hypnotic trip out department. Full engagement is guaranteed from start to finish even for the more of an absent-minded listener on this one.

Snad closes the EP with 'Revival'. This cross-genre juggernaut effortlessly marries puncy breaks with dubbed out echos while the resonant synth chords and muddled vocal chops expand listener's perception of sonar possibilities to places few have imagined possible. One of the rare tracks which hovers on the fringe of experimentation but guarantees to move the peak time crowd of the most discerning listening habits.

Mostly recorded in 1996, the four tracks on the "Fictional Selfs" EP exhibit an attention to melody that is skillfully declined in different ways. Whether it is the epic build-up and refrain of "The Mobility of Her Features" - a track which the author admit was "dedicated to a girl larger than life, in many ways..." - or the incredibly cheesy keyboard solos in "Filler 4" - inspired by no less than Mike Paradinas / Mu-Ziq's alias Jake Slazenger: "I've got my Alesis HR16 drum machine just because I knew it was on his kit list..." - Marutti clearly knows his stuff and the entertaining qualities of his music ooze from every note.

PREMIERE: A2. Lips Vago - Filler 4 (FLUYO002)

Amsterdam’s Locked-In dropping its 3rd release, a various artist compilation, delving deep into the aspects of house music.

The A2 is Mitch Welling’s -Talkin' 'Bout which hypnotizes with its enigmatic allure, mesmerizing with an off kilter magnetic pull. (@mitchwellings)

On the flip Marcos Coya's "Journey Inside" is an immersive track with its unyielding groove, perfect for that late night session. (@mcoya)

BEQA's "No Input" defies genres, merging elements of UK garage & house into a potent fusion. (@beqa-paikidze)
