EX.483 The Hour: The Changing Economics Of Electronic Music pt.2

Clang - Ethereal Sex EP - GYPSY003

https://clang83.bandcamp.com/album/ethereal-sex-ep

a1. Meritocracy
a2. Under The Sun
b. Ethereal Sex

Limited 50 red transparent 12" vinyl

'Ethereal Sex’ is the 3rd release to come on already acclaimed label Gypsy, whose past releases have been supported by a fierce cast of artists in electronic music. 

In this release, founder and producer Rudi Calcagnile returns under his new alias ‘Clang’, releasing three slabs of underground techno, oscillating between old school fast techno and hard house. The EP draws influence from a spectrum of adjacent styles between late 90s and early 00s techno, taking inspiration from artists like Surgeon, The Advent, Funk D’Void and Dave Angel as well as labels such as Tresor, Soma and Rotation Records. 

A1 ‘Meritocracy’ kicks off the EP with a distorted funky sequence which gradually reveals a bangin' hard house track, pervaded by heavy kicks, aggressive snares and extreme sharpened hi-hats. Massive! 

The sound becomes more industrial and crispy in A2 ‘Under The Sun’. The track immediately caught our attention with a mix of flattened industrial beats, gritty shakers and a funk bassline that create a tremendous tight groove which explodes in a multitude of powerful elements: dirty chord stabs, chopped vocals, snappy 808 snares, electric guitar riffs. Heater! 

On the flip, like in a secret rendezvous, a gentle-syncopated kick introduces us into a higher dimension where vibrant filtered chord stabs and a vigorous bassline come together as two bodies in a whirlwind of passion...until soaring cinematic strings and punchy 909 snares proclaim a sublime state of pleasure that only a selected few would call ‘Ethereal Sex’! 

GYPSY003 is a one time thing, no distribution, no repress. 
Don’t sleep!

Out of the ruins of Canning Town comes the mysterious individual that is Nakamoto. Only a handful of people have managed to ever see his face but many have raved under the sounds of this selector. 

Representing FOLD’s corner during our Ilian Tape takeover, Nakamoto left no stone unturned during a panoramic plunge into his record bag. He ensured the dancefloor knew, despite the enigma of his persona, he has been an integral part of our sound since the very beginning and continually adapts to our ever-changing landscape.

The saga continues...

For episode 11 of the pod I am joined by two lovely Bristol dwellers. Producer of sick tunes and owner of the label Pressure Dome, @yushh and @idle-hands-bristol record shop and label owner Chris Farrell.

We discuss the ins and outs of the record shop, the wonderful vibe of the Bristol community and it's relation to Idle Hands. We also share our thoughts on the pros and cons of using a record distribution company to get your records into shops.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon spent chatting and I want to thank Jen and Chris for their time and insights!

Musing & Niamh on DDR #7 (22.09.20)

Tracing Xircles is the collaborative project of Luke Standing and Simon Pilkington. Each producers in their own right, Luke as Blue Hour and Simon as AJ-X, their debut on Luke’s Blue Hour label, ‘Gaia’s Requiem’ EP, formed a silky collection of ambient techno. 

Now, they’re back with a new spread. Naturally welcomed once again to the Blue Hour label. Titled ‘Air Lock’ EP, this second body of work forms a marked development from their last. The four tracks inside come packed with the immediacy of the dancefloor.

‘Transmission’ is the fastest of the four. Centering a clear adoration for trance, the signature Tracing Xircles’ freshness remains in airy textures and an outward sense of space. Whilst we can only dream of how a dancefloor can feel, ‘Transmission’ takes us there effortlessly in an illustrious six-minute swoop.

First Listen: Tracing Xircles - 'Transmission' (Blue Hour)

As one of the residents of DUMP, a tri-monthly trashfest at the now-defunct Berlin sex club Untertage, Dirty Daddy Don has been exercising his addiction to commanding dance floors. 

Bringing his signature darkroom sound, he’s seduced countless dancers into staying past the last hour by serving up a filthy mix of hard-hitting house and seductive techno with every shade in between. 

He has spent the last 2 years programming Boar, a mixed-gender fetish party during Berlin’s Folsom and Easter weekend. He also co-launched TS Raver, a trans-identified network engaging in critical care/harm reduction, community tranarchy and nightlife (dis)organizing.

For our next DETECT, he sent over an exclusive mix.

Raving has always been a fundamental element of @arkadian09’s existence. Having grown up in South East London, a diet of jungle and bass music lead to his fiery passion for rave culture. 

After playing squat parties and streams, he has prepared an hour of face-melting breaks and radiant atmospherics.

For our next instalment of DETECT, we present that mix.
Enjoy responsibly.
