Sometimes at Night

Part of our newly conscripted roster, Weska has been shaping his thick, punchy, highly polished sound from way up in Toronto, as resident at the sound Mind crews parties, he has formulated a particularly sharp ended production style that runs deep through these hypnotic tracks. We drafted in a very specific remixer for this EP, Joran Van Pol has created some of the most stripped down and stark slabs of dance of music this last year on labels like Minus and Rejected, and here he has moulded the title track into a slow motion, low slung masterpiece.

Techno two-piece Slam (Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle) bring the new double vinyl album Machine Cut Noise to the forefront next month Stuart and Orde's day-to-day proceedings consist of maximum time spent on the road, in airports and hotels; which also forms the creative hub for their music-making. It's this transitory state that largely dominates the vibe on Machine Cut Noise.

With each of the album's eleven tracks handed its own unique energy, this concept is probably depicted most prevalently in "Psalm". There is a deep emotional core found within this programmed 7.5-minute piece. It conjures a direction that 'has been paved by the machines which surround us'. A technophile's voyage into the unknown we strongly recommend getting on board with.

Machine Cut Noise comes out on 28th October on Slam's own Soma Records.

From Another Mind first started as a South German party series but soon evolved into a fully fledged label run by SHDW & Obscure Shape. Now it operates as a label and for the fourth release, they've invited a high-profile techno squadron to remix some of their tracks.

Artists like Rødhåd, Dax J, Konstantin Sibold and Ryan James Ford have all offered up their own high-octane and emotive re-imaginings of the duo's tracks but today we feature Tale of Us & Mind Against's edit.

Their remix of 'Die Weiße Rose' is a piledriving techno behemoth, one suited for dark, dank warehouses. Its synths zap across the forefront while venomous kicks thump away in the background.

It's the sort of demonic, mutant-energy track we've come to expect from both sets of producers and we're fairly certain it's going to explode. Check it out exclusively below.

"The first time I heard this song I found it super surreal and the melody took me right away. I was really happy when I came up on an opportunity throw my own spin on it. I’ve had this one finished and in the crate for a while now, and it’s been a major weapon for me over the last year. I’m excited to share it as my first release of 2017."

Following on from his well-received ‘Impermanence’ EP in 2015, Sidney Charles makes a welcome return to the Truesoul fold. 

It may be a surprise to learn Sidney Charles only produced his first record in 2011; indeed, the Hamburg-born, London-based artist has crafted some of the most sophisticated and effective productions spanning the house and techno genre in recent years, taking inspiration from the rough jacking sounds of the early ‘90s. 

His first release on Truesoul in three years sees him in typically inspired form with a versatile four-track package. ‘Jack Endlessly’ builds layer upon layer of groove-ridden beats and ravey stabs that lead into an exaggerated build up, all deftly complimented by a suggestive vocal sample. ‘R.E.D.’ contrasts excellently, a dirty bass-driven cut with shades of Chicago, that makes its mark courtesy of a rousing soulful vocal. ‘Unchained’ sounds as though it was forged in a knives factory, as expertly programmed drums rub shoulders with deep twisted subterranean stabs for a pin-sharp finish. ‘‘Molec’ closes out the EP as a shimmering end-of-night melodic gem that reinforces the German’s versatility and thoughtfulness as a producer.

Almost one year in the making, Bulgaria’s outstanding techno talent lands his return to Drumcode with a four-track EP. 

Timmo (aka Valeri Ivanov) doesn’t do things in half measures. Since the release of his excellent ‘System’ EP last year and ‘Muzik’, his inclusion on A-Sides Vol.6, he’s committed himself to crafting, refining and polishing a quartet of cuts inspired by the cosmic realms beyond planet earth. Titled ‘Meteorite’, its release marks 10 years since he first began producing and stakes its claim as a resounding career highlight with tracks already highlighting gigs for Adam Beyer at Tobacco Dock, Awakenings, Future Kappa Festival and Junction 2.

Beginning with the title track, the streamlined work throbs with a searing synthetic pulse. ‘Black Moon’ sees the EP land its first blow, kicking with a mixture of undulating synths and understated hoovers. ‘Spacetime’ stays true to its name delivering intergalactic techno vibes. ‘Cosmos’ concludes the work, taking us into extra-terrestrial dancefloor territory, with a barrage of trippy synth work and a melodic underbelly the makes the track both beautiful and heavy-hitting in equal measure.

Marco Faraone returns to Drumcode with some of his most inspired work ever, comprising of four tracks crossing the Techno spectrum.

Growing up Marco was surrounded by 90s Italo house and techno, which have all had a part in the current sound he produces today. Never one to stick to any individual style, he can often surprise his fans with a set pumping out peak time beats to down tempo house cuts with catchy vocals.

 “With this release, I took some inspiration from listening back to some old Vitalic sounds and giving some extra power to the use of synths in each track. It’s got a festival vibe to it, which is something I wanted to achieve” - Marco

His last Drumcode EP was back in 2016, so this October he makes a welcome return showing his multiskilled productions at their full potential on this mega 4 tracker, opening with the gargantuan ‘Never Forget’. Mutating rhythmic synths hark back to the good ol’ days of BXR and the limitless talent of the Italian Techno scene in the late 90s. Boiling over in the main break this is crowd-pleasing dance music at its finest. 

‘Cruiser’ is a bumpy upbeat ride with a strong melodic hook that will have the hands raised and the feet stomping. Title track ‘Lunar Eclipse’ is a dense, at times claustrophobic roller. Menacing to begin with, the addition of the main melodic motifs lifts the mood midway. ‘Take This Trip’ rounds out an incendiary EP. Lighter and more musical that the previous three, it offers a joyful, softer message. 

“This is a special release for me, I wanted this to have explosive power yet the perfect balance of melodies and sounds to create a different and unique atmosphere for each track” - Marco

"Straight from the train station, we head for a holy immersion into the river Ganges - with Calcutta born DJ & producer Trideep Roy aka. Troja. His offering - Sutra - is a trance-inducing spell, filled with pitched down chantings from holy scriptures & twangy Indian string instruments. " - Reji Ravindran on Sutra for India Gets Physical

2019 sees Get Physical turn its always pan-global focus towards the shining stars of the emerging Indian dance music scene with a fantastic new 12 track compilation album featuring some of the country’s key contemporary talents. This brilliant selection is compiled by Todh Teri.
When asked about India Gets Physical, he says,” The artists and music I've put together for this project are predominantly electronic,
but with just a pinch of India. Clearly steering away from all probable cliches, all of these tracks sound very international but with just a hint of an Indian tone, scale or sound. It is our lil’ nod to the motherland.”

After having appeared on Manual Music a couple of times already, and with a brand new release on Manual coming up in the near future, this time we welcome Formel to our MNL label for a lovely proggy melodic effort titled 'Cacoal'.

The Dutch duo have been around for quite some years now, and their music has seen the light of day via infamous labels such as Last Night On Earth, Replug, Beatfreak, Weiter, Sincopat, Einmusika and Traum.

We're happy to call them one of our own, as they've also joined our recently launched Manual Bookings agency. 'Cacoal' is just another piece of evidence of their capability to write warm, dreamy but highly effective melodic music.

On remix duties we welcome industry legend Paul Sawyer on the label for the very first time. The Krafted label boss has been a key player since the early nineties and we're delighted to have him on board, showcasing his effortless skills remixing the Formel guys. A delightful remix that will surely appeal to all the prog-heads out there.

Having made his Sola debut on last year’s Ibiza compilation and followed it up with the chart-topping Lima EP, Max Chapman now returns to Solardo’s imprint with a huge single release. 

One of the hottest tracks in Solardo’s sets recently, Formanto sees Max Chapman turn his hand to a progressive monster. A rolling house groove kicks the track off before giving way to an epic breakdown that builds and grows into a soaring euphoric crescendo. 

Max Chapman burst onto the underground house scene at the age of 23, launched his own record label and racked up support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong all in a few short years. Now one of the best-selling and hardest-touring talents in the scene, he’s ready to top the Beatport charts again with Sola’s first ever single release.

Already supported by Camelphat, Leftwing:Kody, Mihalis Safras, Eli Brown, Latmun, Pirate Copy, GW Harrison and the Solardo boys themselves, Formanto is sure to damage clubs, festivals and the airwaves for months to come.
