MALA ADDICTIK - This is TeKno! ( out on Vinyl   TEKNO TRIP 02-- UNDERGROUNDTEKNO)

A collaboration by Frenchmen Paul Ritch and Okain, who bring us two outstanding, highly hypnotic minimal tracks. This EP is exactly what we thought of the first time we heard Paul Ritch's "Samba" (Resopal). Handycraft aka Okain & Paul Ritch, both based in Paris, bring us their debut release on Kickboxer. These are three slightly dark and highly hypnotic minimal tracks, spiced with loads of effects that will certainly leave their mark at the club. Fact: so far, everyone who has heard this sound could not help tapping their feet or nodding their head, followed by the question: "who's that?" and now, you know!

Paco Osuna regala TRANSHEET original mix!	 
 	
Dado el inminente lanzamiento de LONG PLAY y bajo el tono de celebración de 20 años de carrera, Paco Osuna regalará el segundo track, TRANSHEET, este miércoles 24 de Septiembre. TRANSHEET (original mix) fue incluido en Orbeat, el segundo EP de Paco publicado en Plus8 y lanzado en abril de 2008.


“Orbeat es es un disco que me gusta mucho y Transheet fue el track que tuvo más repercusión del EP, el que dio más de qué hablar porque era simple y efectivo al mismo tiempo, por esa fracción de voz que se quedaba grabada en la cabeza. Transheet tiene una vocal entrecortada que tomé de un audio al azar y creó mucha expectación con respecto a lo que la vocal decía; recibí cientos de interpretaciones pero en realidad no tiene significado, yo no entiendo lo que dice inclusive a cappella ;)”



El Transheet que Paco nos entrega es especial, ya que es una versión distinta a la que salió a la venta:

“Esta versión tiene un sonido que tomé de un hall de un aeropuerto: grabé a la gente, el murmullo de la sala, el ruido de un avión y lo inserté en el break. Esto no existe en el tema original, es una versión que hice para mí y es la que yo pinchaba; simplemente porque la probe cuando el disco ya había salido. La diferencia con el original no es muy grande, es tan solo un detalle, un sonido de fondo en un momento de silencio pero que realmente le da vida al track en esa parte”. Paco Osuna


Transheet estará en libre descarga en el Soundcloud Oficial de Paco durante 24 horas, a partir de este miércoles 24 de septiembre a las 12hrs. Estar atentos ya que cada miércoles hasta el 8 de octubre, Paco Osuna y Minus estarán regalando un corte distinto. Enjoy!

Paco Osuna gives away second free track: TRANSHEET 	 
 	
Due the imminent release of LONG PLAY and the celebration of a career spanning 20 years, Paco Osuna will be giving away a second track this Wednesday September 24th. TRANSHEET, originally included on Orbeat, Paco’s second EP on Plus8 which was released in April of 2008, is the cut chosen by the artist himself to share for free download.


“Orbeat it is an album that I really like and Transheet was the track that had the biggest impact on the EP, the one people talked about the most, because it was simple and effective at the same time, and also because of that fraction of voice that stayed in my head. Transheet has a faltering voice that I took from a random audio and it created a lot of excitement about what the voice was saying; I received hundreds of interpretations but it really had no meaning – I do not understand what it says even a cappella ;) ”



This Transheet is special too because Paco has picked out a different version to the one originally on sale:

“This version has a sound that I took from an airport hall: I recorded the people, the murmur of the gate, the sound of a plane and inserted it all in the break. That doesn’t exist in the original track; it's a version that was made ​​for me and it’s the one I used to play – simply because I produced it when the EP was already released. The difference with the original is not that big, it’s just a detail, a background sound in a moment of silence but one that really gives life to that part of the track.”. Paco Osuna


Transheet will be available for free download on Paco Osuna’s official Soundcloud for 24 hours starting at midday on Wednesday September 24th. Stay tuned because every Wednesday until October 8th, Paco Osuna and Minus will be giving away another exiting cut. Enjoy!

ETHNIK - Paco Osuna remix 
FREE DOWNLOAD starting at midday on Wednesday October 1st!! (available for 24hrs)
Included on THE REMIXES . PLASTIKMAN
Released on Plus 8 Records
First released: 09.12.2009

………

Paco Osuna regala ETHNIK (Paco Osuna remix), una mítica remezcla a PLASTIKMAN, incluida en “The Remixes” y lanzada en Plus8 en diciembre de 2009. 

Este track tiene historia por ser una versión de un corte original del legendario alias de Richie Hawtin, también por la forma en la que fue elegido para ser parte de las 22 remezclas de la primera serie de remixes hechos a Plastikman.

"Para hacer The Remixes Richie dio a elegir tracks y Ethnik fue mi segunda opción, la primera fue Goo. Lo que utilicé de Goo fue un loop y el resto fue mío, pero necesitaba un tema más melódico, del que pudiese hacer una versión más especial. Así que elegí Ethnik. Al inicio a Richie no le gustó la idea de que un tema downtempo fuese convertido en un track de pista; pero a base de pincharlo delante de él, que viera la reacción del público y cómo realmente funcionaba cada vez, lo eligió. Al final salieron los dos, a Richie le gustó tanto Ethnik como Goo; sin embargo, lo que más recuerdo es que fue un complejo proceso de convencimiento.”

“Ha sido un honor remezclar a Plastikman y además un tema mítico como este. A la fecha creo que sigue siendo una de las mejores producciones que he hecho. He querido regalarlo porque es el remix del que me siento más orgulloso, es la referencia que más me gusta que he hecho para Plus8.” Paco Osuna

ETHNIK (Paco Osuna remix) estará en libre descarga en el Soundcloud Oficial de Paco durante 24 horas, a partir de este miércoles 1 de Octubre a las 12hrs. Estar atentos ya que el próximo miércoles el 8 de octubre, Paco Osuna y Minus regalarán el último corte. Enjoy!

FREE DOWNLOAD starting at midday on Wednesday October 8th!! (available for 24hrs)
Included on DOWN EP 
Released on Minus
First released: 01.09.2010

Kicking off a week of strong sounds and emotions, LONG PLAY has been released this October 6 exclusively on Beatport and Minus; an assembled repertoire of musical milestones that also serves to emphasise the excellent teamwork that Paco Osuna and Minus have forged throughout the years. With TRAIN TO BALTIMORERemix (Minus 2010) Paco Osuna culminates a series of four free tracks forming part of a celebration a tremendous career spanning two decades. 

TRAIN TO BALTIMORE Remix, included on Down EP, is a production launched in September of 2010 and comes from Ambivalent´s original track. It is the second version produced by Paco on that label. 

“This is not the first I remix I did on Minus, it is the second; the first was also for Ambivalent´s RU OK, launched in 2007. To me, Train to Baltimore Remix is particularly special because Kevin (Ambivalent) is an excellent friend of mine. I love and respect him. I really like his music. That year he gave me the promos, I really liked the original and wanted to remix it, so much that originally I was going to release it on my label but Richie thought they were excellent cuts, both the original and the remix, and asked for them for Minus.” Paco Osuna

With the gift of this track, Paco Osuna celebrates 20 years of his own musical story and also appreciates the support of all those who have been there with him from the very beginning, the ones that are still there today and those who have joined along the way. The release of this LP is another significant step in Paco Osuna´s LONG PLAY career; a reflection of years of effort, dedication and passion for his profession.

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

We are happy to welcome Maceo Plex to Drumcode with the fourth instalment of his Conjure series, ‘Conjure Infinity’. Featuring two tracks ‘Conjure Dreams’ and ‘Conjure Floyd’, both are peak time monsters that introduce two very different elements. ‘Conjure Dreams’ utilises a groovy, melodic bass that is reinforced using tight thumping drums to shatter any dance floor into the universe. ‘Conjure Floyd’ builds into a more ‘heads down’ techno vibe with a very interesting breakdown. Two sure fire tracks to ignite the floor.

Ukranian techno producer Yan Cook returns to the Planet Rhythm imprint with a belter EP. Evolving techno sounds that are carefully carved out of analogue pulses and ferm drum hits. Where the A side thrives on well produced arps and atmopshere, The B side really hits it with peak time synth action and great FX.

Available now on 12" via Triple Vision: http://www.triplevision.nl/release/PRRUKLTDYC2/

Yan Cook - Shift EP [PRRUKLTDYC2]

Back at our mammoth Stay True Scotland broadcast earlier this month, one track came real close to bringing The Caves' roof down during Nina Kraviz's powerhouse headline set. "I Wanna Go Bang" very nearly executed its titular statement – well, if the song was more about wrecking balls and less about...oh, never mind.

The vocals that stalk the track, so wholly devoid of humanity, rub up against razor-sharp claps and serious bounce in the subs. It's weighty warehouse techno of the highest order, set to devastate dark basements and big tents alike throughout the year. Simply put: Icelandic producer Bjarki has delivered a bomb.

Grip the physical via трип from July 15th onwards.

2015 saw Damian Lazarus create his most ambitious project to date in The Ancient Moons, producing a full length album ‘Message From The Other Side’ with a wide assortment of vocalists and collaborators from around the world. They went on to support Roisin Murphy on tour, gain acclaim from the likes of Dazed & Confused and Lazarus became the final coverstar of the year in the UK”s Mixmag magazine.

Now the tracks from ‘The Other Side’ have been reinterpreted by an assortment of stars, from techno stalwarts Juan Atkins & Kimyon Huggins, to German experimental talent Kölsch, and Acid Pauli’s sprawling fusion of weirdness. The original material is ploughed in new and surprising directions by Black Butter’s own Gorgon City and Mehmet Asian, resident at Berlin’s infamous Wilde Renate club.

Talent from Lazarus’ label Crosstown Rebels, including Francesca Lombardo, DrumTalk and Israeli trio Red Axes also produce their own visions for the music, all of which retain the mysticism of the original with added dancefloor appeal. The final four tracks revisit some of the biggest moments from the Moons to date, as the album revisits interpretations from Jamie Jones, Dixon, Serge Devant and &Me.

Co-produced by James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, Arctic Monkeys, Florence & The Machine), The Ancient Moons was always a unique project, which has now been stretched to include the flavours of some of the most exciting artists shaping the musical landscape right now.

Recorded in Mexico, LA and London, ‘The Other Side’ features instrumentalists from Mozambique, Guinea, Pakistan, Egypt, America and even Mexico’s own Yucatan Symphony Orchestra.

"My trajectory, I hope, will always be uphill, in continuous musical evolution... I’m always hungry for new sound experiences, and I’ll put all my soul into it." - Raffaele Attanasio

The confines of contemporary music often ensnare a musician in a particular sound. Wrapped up in a box that defines and sells the 'product', that it's easier to digest for the modern consumer. It operates on a plane where it is assimilated in tiny soundbites that are quickly digested and moved on. Sound can get lost amongst trying to 'make it' or get likes. Music is not lost though; it exists as it always has and the passion for composing transcendent and transportive tracks exists in an artist like Raffaele Attanasio.

Born to a musician father in his home city of Naples, Attanasio was only satiated when listening to virtuoso maestros like Il Guardiano del Faro and Keith Emerson. Developing his prodigious ear, he trained on drums and then piano and his auspicious ability become apparent early. In his late teens, he ventured into DJing and electronic music production and has garnered plaudits from Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims; even performing with Mills in a B2B live set and also Octave One. He found a home within the electronic music community, heading his own label Letter From Jerusalem, and releasing on others, such as Third Wave Black and Non Series. His label even released music from Douglas McCarthy of the band Nitzer Ebb.

What has never been lost on Attanasio is his eclectic flair. His releases span from nefarious techno - even releasing under his X-501 alias - to riveting Detroit inspired dance music with soulful piano. That piano may encapsulate a sound not many may equate to the Italian, but he now threads down a course that garners influences from his native Naples and musicians like Keith Jarret Duke Ellington and even Hans Zimmer. His artistic mould is shaped from by his experiences, and these are laid bare in his jazz-tinged sound on his album Nuovo Futuro, which was released on Axis records. Kaleidoscopic in his quenching of musical thirst, Attanasio keeps music in its purest form. These melodic air vibrations evoke something opaque, yet wildly pulchritudinous, regardless of the audience.
