1-07 - Emmanuel Top - Rubycon

As one of the three co-founders of Washington D.C. production and DJ trio Black Rave Culture, James Bangura is no stranger to situating electronic music within its most purposeful and potent contexts. With this new duo of tracks, however, Bangura taps into a deep, personal internality, metabolising visceral experiences and personal transitions into unexplored phases of his musical life.

The bass-forward “Harrar” is a complex organism which operates on two planes: a sweat-drenched 150pm symphony of synth pulses, fidgety percussion, shimmies and distorted vocals, that falls into lockstep with a meditative, dubby bass tone that calmly swells and recedes. Emerging out of Bangura’s high intensity hardware jam sessions with friends and collaborators, both the depth and energetic fizz of “Harrar”’ are signified by its name, borrowed from Harrar Coffee & Roastery--a beloved Ethiopian coffee house and community meeting place in Washington D.C. that radiates warmth and familiarity.

“Witness Dub” occupies less of the senses, exploring a state of liminality through a contemplative deep house signature. Having emerged from an extended period of active duty in the military, Bangura had to navigate civilian life for the first time, causing him to process multiple culture shocks that stretched across culture, language, communication and identity. “Witness Dub” finds Bangura at this crossroad, juxtaposing the steady propulsion of kicks and drums with pensive minor key chords, as he begins to explore the other side of the self, letting the energy guide the music.

Everyday (original version)

Fireground's live sets brim with joy and Mediterranean warmth, so as we have now passed the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and are well on en route to leave the long, cold winter behind, what could be more fitting than a new release from the duo? 

As with their three previous releases on Tresor (Dualism, Refreshing Part 1, and Dreams) for Love Letter Angela and Daniele have created a heady melange of styles of techno synonymous with the turn of the century with such outrageous elan and jubilation that they practically embody the musical term giocoso:

"We had the "summer" concept in mind from the beginning, this pushed us to create a message in our sound making it uplifting and engaging, capable of conveying a positive, romantic and warm vibe.

In our productions we always give priority to the harmonic parts such as melodies, pads, piano and guitar riffs, the peculiarity of this EP is that all the tracks were born first from these elements, and only at the end the groove was crafted, not due to a difference in importance, rather to ensure that the rhythmic part paid as much respect as possible to the harmonic part."

This decision to build upwards from the harmonics has paid dividends: the entrance of a string section provokes visions of a rapt club crowd cheering with exultation; a looped groove stimulates a connection to such gleeful nostalgia that is almost certain to be heard at many festivals in coming months; a blissful pad sweeps over a track like the first rays of sun in the morning; a filtered synth rises to be met with a xylophone-like countermelody&hellip;every track has a moment where the music overflows with some form of happiness. Together the collection promises, and perhaps even delivers, a summer both ecstatic and joyful.

Robert is on a roll, releasing more music this year, than he has done since the 90's... and we're lapping it up, the more the merrier!

Bassporn, as you'd expect by the name is a bit of a rasper, with low end booming throughout. An acidic line adds to the tension before warm pads change the vibe... before it all phattens right up again!

Guy Mantzur delivers a fine remix. its hypnotic overtones trance you out, with dreamy and tinkly tones intermingle superbly. Solid.

Tim Engelhardt utilises the melodics to great result, with this warm workout. Tasty stuff.

Namito & Solmaz Lou arent messing around here. Their techno touch up stomps along nicely, before we subtly drop in to its floaty feel, while all things go a little tripped out.. and then slam back full of drive and melodies galore.

Rounding things off we have Buffalo. Solid and gnarly, and full of attitude, this serious dance floor phatness really packs a punch.

For its next release, Sound Transitions presents Hauptgast’s ‘Return Information’ EP. Based out of Essen, Germany, this emerging producer has constructed a powerful 3-track release. The EP’s warehouse-ready title track and ‘Dirty Logistics’ are grounded by pounding kick drums but also fuse vocal samples with searing rave synths and rough breakbeats. Contrastingly, ‘Rushmore’ offers a brief hiatus from the EP’s fierce attitude. Finn effortlessly guides you through a world of breaks, house, and rave sounds perfectly suited for the warehouse or basement. Nonetheless, if you want to miss the club even more, this one's a must-listen.
