Yuuki Sakai - Yaghan EP - [ Subsist Records ]

Fiedel | Grunewald2

Release date (vinyl & digital): 7th of October

After 2 ep’s, 1 remix, 1 track licensed to Norman Nodge’s Ostgut compilation, support from Blawan, Luke Slater, Marcel Dettmann, Untold & others, gigs at Fabric, Berghain and other clubs across Europe, Ctrls delivers his 3rd EP on Token.

On the the a-side he ups the intensity once again with pure squealing machine funk in the form of ‘Modular Framework’ & ‘Displacer’.

The flip contains 2 menacing remixes of ‘Displacer’ by Sleeparchive, an inspiration to both Ctrls & Token. We never hoped for a match this perfect.

Ice cold.

Shifting States EP

Ctrls - Modular Framework

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

Release date (vinyl & digital): 16th of December

"I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago, other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things - never rushed"

After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, Ø [Phase] released his debut album ‘Frames Of Reference’ on Token this fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor (“a display of real power and finesse” 4/5), in DJmag (“a calculated masterpiece” 9,5/10), at XLR8R (“sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music's appeal” 8/10), Groove Magazine (“pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits”) and more.

After the double a-sided first single ‘On The Edge / Perplexed’ in June, we now bring you the 2nd single.
‘Dirtro II’ is definitely one of the standout cuts of the album and shows Ø [Phase] in his darkest and deepest mood. On the b-side he is joined by one of his biggest inspirations & one of techno’s most legendary innovators: Robert Hood. The result is a carefully executed yet explosive peak time cut.

Ø [Phase] x Robert Hood x Token. It had to happen one day.

Hinz & Ruhmhardt come out of the gate full speed on their first EP with Doch. 
A grinding and relentless kick drum, hi-hat and snare combo that no doubt hypnotizes even the most relenting soul. Those merits alone can command a dance floor but, combined with a single organ line that is equal parts villainous, psychedelic, and beautiful while being perfectly constructed with a masters knowledge in the art of tension and suspense, they have conceived a magnum opus of grand proportions.
An aural field fusing the finest elements of both heaven and hell.

Hinz & Ruhmhardt - Doch

Out August 2014 on Cadenza Records

Gianni Callipari is the Swiss born DJ and producer who has been bubbling under for some time now, crafting his skills, both in the studio and in the clubs, for the past few years.  A crucial member of the Nordstern team (the hi-spec and highly popular 400 capacity nightclub in Basel, Switzerland), Gianni has played alongside a who’s who of DJ talent, from Carl Cox to Seth Troxler, Dixon to DJ Sneak, and of course with Luciano, the Cadenza ambassador.

It is this relationship with Luciano that brings Gianni to Cadenza, not just as an artist, but now also as a DJ (now on the Aether Artists roster alongside many Cadenza stable mates).

The ‘Modular’ EP is technically Gianni’s debut release (save for a track included on Nic Fanciulli’s Balance 021 mix compilation in 2012).  And it’s a confident and assured debut release on Cadenza.  Title track ‘Modular’ is steady in pace, and hypnotically uplifting in melody, without ever resorting to clichés.  Subtle touches to the hi-hats and percussive patterns keep the deep groove locked in whilst the synth work wraps around your head and doesn’t shift.  A track already road tested many times this year already, we know this cut has the power to lose a few minds whilst keeping the feet firmly moving.

‘Girls On Acid’ is less heady, going for a playful loose beat and choppy vocals.  Subtle synth sweeps pick up the energy throughout on this simple, yet effective, percussive club cut.  Wrapping up the release if ‘Boogie Curls’, a skanking and bass shaking track that builds nicely, again without ever over cooking the elements, a great mood piece to sign off with.

Bastinov (aka Diego Gennaro) is a Venice based young producer and DJ, following his last year release on Etruria Beat he is now presenting a more mature work, showing his artistic growth.

This EP, the 19th of Etruria Beat Records and the 2nd release from Bastinov , is a path into techno and in its shades, starting from punching and rolling sounds and ending up with the addition of some melodic parts. 

Beyond the original mixes the EP is enriched with remixes from label boss Luca Agnelli, newcomer talents Toms:due and Proudly People.

“Pentagon" is composed by an alternated hypnotic synth’s melody and a vibrant groove which will bring you into your deepest mental journey.

Luca Agnelli's remix of “Pentagon" is a dub-techno explosive interpretation of the groove,  spiced by a dark triplets synth and an amazing kick-dropping that will burn up the dance floors for sure!

“Theorem", was created with an amazing and pleasant chord, a devasting groove and big-punchin kick made by analogic drum machines (as the vintage Roland CR5000).

The second remix on the vinyl comes from Toms:due that moved the track down to the “Motor City’s rules”, adding a massive and dirty 909 groove and giving a special reinterpretaton of the original synth.

A special digital bonus remix comes from Proudly People , composed by their unmistakable dark and deep techno sound,  perfect for early morning djsets.

Bastinov - Theorem ( Original mix )  snippet

First teased out in his bumpin' Boiler Room set back in April, six months later we finally had the full track in our hands - and naturally couldn't resist a Debut. The title track off the "Busy Block EP", forthcoming on the burgeoning Audio Culture imprint, is a hefty slab of peak-time house. Severn Beach rides the familial chord progression through a backdrop of 90s IDM signifiers, dipping out momentarily before returning double strength. Get familiar - it'll be steamrolling you on a dancefloor soon.

Bruce's productions really struck a chord from their very first radio plays. With a debut release on Livity Sound off-shoot Dnous Ytivil, and now this downright incredible 12", he's definitely one to keep an eye on in the future.

Fingers crossed for more Hessle records over the next year, but to be honest.. we don't mind waiting when they're this good.

Release date: 27th October

The new Perc Trax comp is called "Slowly Exploding" - but on only the second track, Drvg Culture throws any notion of pacing out the fucking window. It's a mean creation. The beat banging on your door while the 303 corrodes your windowsill. And yeah, ridiculous name. But c'mon: have you * seen* the "Bound 2" ripoff? You can never be too careful...

TMB are following up a summer of hedonistic exploits with the debut release from their new imprint, Cuttin Headz. “Do That Two (Yes Baby)” has that familiar whiff of techno-grounded house that the sibling pair are notorious for. We’re talking good old fidgety leg-shaker value with this, their limited edition EP due November 10.
 
It follows May’s announcement of Tuskegee – a joint label with Seth Troxler – bringing Latin/Afro-American inspired, vinyl-only releases to your cochleae.

PÄR GRINDVIK
SINISTER

I fight myself to sleep, my eyelids, heartbeats are lead weights of despair and sorrows.
The years disappeared within loneliness. to manage staying alive I keep my visions to myself. You were once my friend, a sinister.

The ”Sinister” composition was written by Pär Grindvik during 2009 and 2010.
Writing ”Sinister” was part of a healing process. The original ”Sinister” was never meant to be released - and it will probably never be. However, in 2010 Pär came up with the idea of handing out parts from the original, to a few of his friends, and to release different interpretations derived from these parts. The new interpretations would mark the beginning of a new label project called ”Sinister”.

Next to Pär’s own rework of the original, you will find the following interpretations. Samuel L Session (Klap Klap, Music Man, Soma, Be As One), S100 (Stockholm LTD), Gary Beck (Minus, Soma, Saved), Staffan Linzatti (Stockholm LTD, Searchlights), Jesper Dahlbäck (ISL, Drumcode, H-prod)
