Rituals

Catz 'n Dogz present a brand new EP on their Step Recordings, this time coming from Spanish House Music veteran Danny B.

After dropping Prog House rollers from Baldo and Youandewan or 4/4 Techno flavoured cuts from Lady Blacktronika and Elisa Bee, Step Recordings is about to release something more soulful and closer to original House music. The man behind this is Danny B, a Spanish producer heavily inspired by masters like Frankie Knuckles, ‪Larry Heard‬ and Kerry Chandler. His 'Find Myself' EP is a collection of 4 original tracks, a masterfully crafted mix of acidy basslines, broken beats, warm pads and dub flavoured stabs, the perfect combination of elements for dancefloor fillers. Feeling the heat yet?

Anders Hajem takes inspiration from classic house on his superb new release for Mellom.
Anders Hajem is a producer from Ål in Hallingdal, Norway with a background playing in local bands. He studied production in Oslo and was immersed in the city's nightlife while releasing as Clastique and DJ Username for his own BCR label. Now under his own name, he produced these tracks in his own studio and they find him widening his sound after his debut on Prins Thomas's Full Pupp last year. While he shows a different side, he retains his trademark sense of energy and masterfully deploys an MPC2000XL to get an authentic old-school vibe.
The opener 'Send It' has a big heart and big energy. The piano chords are party starting, the bass is fat and the groove will lift dancers off their feet. Synth lines bring plenty of colour, subtle acid textures and futuristic soul and help make this one such a characterful track.
Then comes 'Tape,' a warm and deep cut with soft, diffuse synths and a hazy atmosphere. The dusty drums and romantic chords make for a chilled vibe but with a heavy groove that also makes you dance.
It's house music for good times with close friends.
These tracks prove that whatever style Anders Hajem serves up, he always gets it just right for the dance floor.

Exclusive: Erell Ranson - Pregnancy Vibes

The eights installment on Berlin-based label Melcure, the hybrid label of Melisma and Cure Music, comes from northern French artist Erell Ranson delivering the musical goodies that vary between House and Techno and cover a huge amount of moody melodic melancholic dramatic theory. Releasing music since the 90s on labels such as Kalahari Oyster Cult, LW-Recordings or Gestalt Records Nicolas Petitjean, Erell Ranson's real name, surely hits a nerve with his latest four tracker on Melcure. The B1 Pregnancy Vibes comes in rather chill with its calming pad-sounds, the ghost-esque or spooky intermezzo and  chords riding an old-school almost Detroit-ish bass line, meaningly sounding raw and unique and purposely not as smooth as a lot of productions these days. With every beat hitting and every chord floating over it Pregnancy Vibes comes closer to bear the perfect soundtrack for a nine month ride with a life long impact.

Erell Ranson's EP New Home is out on MELCURE.

Redshape – Shift / Drive

A – Shift
B – Drive

Distributed via Clone
Release Date: 18.05.2017

After presenting his ‘Best of Live’ series, Redshape returns to his own label with a retrovisionist release that looks back in time as much as it looks forward to the future.

Revving up on the A side is ‘Shift’, a propulsive hurtle to the final frontiers. Starting off ominously with just drums, bass and a Pollock splatter of toms, the track is soon overrun by an army of relentlessly running basslines, let loose to steer in and out like searching headlights on a dark and endless highway. With a heavier kick, the track shifts into top gear with pensive pads soaring overhead, mesmerizing squeaks and his signature attention to percussive detail.

On the flip is ‘Drive’, which switches gears down a notch as an astrospace cruise along intergalactic coastlines – from summery California to shiny Coruscant. A rounded pounding beat with heavy sub bass bounces along to a breezy tropical melody and spacious percussive work, before riding off into a cinematic sunset that is as nostalgic as it is hopeful of the coming dawn.

Once again on the edge of spatial sound but grounded in analog warmth, Redshape has presented a revision of classic record productions that truly punches as it is meant to be felt and heard – on wax.

Shift/Drive

Shift/Drive – present 15 (Preview)

Redshape returns to his own Present imprint with two strong more dancefloor spaced-out techno burners. While ''Alpha On The Rocks'' seems to float through time & space, ''The Box'' slamming to the floor like there's no tomorrow...
