Solid Steel (13th February) DJ Food - Selected Aphex Works

Unless you've been living under a rock recently you'll have heard the news that Aphex Twin unexpectedly uploaded 155 of his old and unreleased tracks to Soundcloud and made them downloadable for free. Starting from his earliest demos through to known live tracks, later jungle experiments and beyond, this is the motherlode that his fans have always wanted. DJ Food, a long-time Aphex fan, has been through the entire collection with a fine-toothed comb and selected his favourites for the first half of the show this week. The hit rate was high but he's has managed to cram 31 tracks into 85 minutes to mark this unique occasion and peppered the mix with vintage interview clips of Richard James talking about his music.

Solid Steel Radio Show 13/2/2015 Part 1 + 2 - DJ Food

Taken from 'Struggle & Emerge'. Released 13/05/16
Pre-order here - https://RSrecords.lnk.to/Lakker

Following last year’s breakthrough album “Tundra”, Lakker return to R&S with a very special new project.
 
Lakker were commissioned by the RE:VIVE Initiative to create a new conceptual work solely sampling field recording, TV and radio broadcasts from the Dutch National AV archive, The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. The curated material provided all related to and was representative of the theme the “Dutch and water”
 
The resulting 8 track release “Struggle and Emerge” is a tense soundtrack to the machine driven mid-20th century that captures the complex relationship between the Dutch and the water that surrounds them- unyielding, colossal, industrial. 
 
Broadcasts from the flood of 1953, which claimed over 1,800 lives and decimated the southern province of Zeeland are sampled in the gloomy “Open Clouds”. The contemplative “Broken Clouds” features a radio broadcast the day after the Nazis inundated the Wieringermeer Polder in 1945 in an act of desperation before retreating.
 
In order to combat the catastrophic power of the sea Dutch engineering has needed to go to equal extremes. On the album, the propulsive and dramatic “Reclamation” blaring “Ever Rising” and pummeling “Maeslantkering Gating” capture the sheer size, scale and power that is Dutch flood protection. Lakker gained inspiration from archival footage of the closing of the 32km Afsluitdijk, a man made barrier protecting the Netherlands from the vicious North Sea, a first hand visits to the futuristic engineering marvel, Maeslantkering and the never ending challenge of keeping the sea at bay. 
 
To gain insight into their topic, Lakker ventured on a tour around the Netherlands, meeting leading academic experts in the field. From the world’s premier flood defense department at TU Delft, to a professor of amphibious culture at the Free University of Amsterdam, to art historians and specialists on the ground; the duo were given first hand insight into the centuries long tumultuous relationship between the Dutch and the water.

PREMIERE : Marlon Hoffstadt - ARP+ [Ransom Note Records]

It's finally here - @marlonhoffstadt's 'Observing The Known' is out tomorrow on Ransom Note Records. The rising star of house music, Marlon's new EP is being supported by the likes of Palms Trax, Honey Soundsystem and Prins Thomas.

Following premieres with Resident Advisor, Mixmag, Phonica and Délicieuse Musique, we're very happy to present the fifth and final track which is @scott-fraser's remix of 'ARP+'.

One half of London night Body Hammer and one half of the Crimes Of The Future label, Scott's fingerprints are all over UK underground dance music, and we're overjoyed to welcome him into the R$N Records fold. With remixes for Andrew Weatherall, Headman and Virgo Four under his belt, now Scott takes Marlon's classic techno track to darker lands, with snapping electro drums and seasick bass pressure ramping up the claustrophobia. We hear it's already been causing huge damage when dropped on dubplate at Body Hammer...
