Ray-Ban x Boiler Room 004 - SXSW Warehouse Four Tet DJ Set

the significant novelty of kyoka‘s first full length album »is (Is Superpowered)« is that she uses her own voice much more often than usual, in the form of short snippets as well as longer sung melodies. these elements are set and arranged as if they were an autonomous instrument. sometimes these voices give the impression of being a babelesque language mix-up, or even a kind of cryptic message for the listener like found in the song »meander«.

the production process of the record was heavily supported by her label mates frank bretscheider and robert lippok, which is, in this way of forming a production team, a unique constellation in the history of raster-noton. whereas lippok focused on preserving the roughness and complexity of kyoka‘s compositions, bretschneider concentrated on refining them regarding their fluidity and focus. both tried to keep the vitality and hyperactivity of the initial tracks without losing their distinctive eccentricity.

although kyoka‘s sound is often kind of chaotic, it is by no means stressful but rather energizing and easy to enjoy. the only exception to this can be found in »piezo version vision«, the noticeably roughest track of the record. her particularly progressive style is best reflected by the song »re-pulsion«, a rolling groove combined with unusual clicks and snares and topped with crazy sounding voice fragments.

the album thus further deepens what was already initiated with her first ep »iSH«, released as part five of raster-noton‘s unun series. it presents a stylistically broader spectrum of kyoka‘s music but at the same time exhibits the fresh and positive, sometimes even childlike attitude she is already known for. this eventually renders »is (Is Superpowered)« a perfect extension of our label catalogue.

RA009 - Jacob B

This July we're bringing Helena Hauff to the US for her first stateside club shows. On July 20th we're heading to Cambridge, Boston. Check out this mix by Make It New residents Baltimoroder and Coralcola, and a Q&A with Alex Maniatis, the clubs booker, below.

RA: How would you describe your music policy?

AM: Our music policy is more than genres it's about setting the right atmosphere. Make It New is about feeling refreshed. We won't play the ego game and we program artists who care most about the music and the vibe.  Right now we have 3 local residents Baltimoroder, Coralcola, and Mike Swells plus international residents George Fitzgerald and Martyn for 2017.  We book house, we book techno, we book disco we book everything in between.
 
RA: What makes a great party? 

AM: The right crowd, a lot of love, and letting the music do the talking.  It's not one person's party it's our crowd's party.  We are in a small dark box with a good soundsystem. That's it. The goal is for everyone to get lost in the moment every Thursday plain and simple.  One week you may hear our residents go on for 5hrs playing spacey techno music or maybe another you will hear Antal play a life-changing disco set or maybe Midland will make you cry (in a good way).  We Make It New every week with a sweet touch of reassuring familiarity. Show up early and stay late, that's the move.  

RA: What does your party stand for, and how do you express that? 

AM: Make It New stands for something inclusive yet it is not for everyone.  It should go without saying but if you are sexist, racist, or homophobic this night is not for you and you are not gonna make any friends here. Sorry but true. Each week we gather we dance and we just are together. The party is a journey and is based on a basic trust. Trust the DJ, trust the audience, trust the staff. We are all one and it makes for a beautiful thing. There's a lot of bad news out there right now and the sense of community is greater than we can all vocalize.  Sometimes being in a dark room dancing with good sound and friends watching out for each other is what we need. 

RA: What’s the greatest problem facing club culture in your city? 

AM: Lack of understanding of the culture and little support of the creative economy. Boston is growing rapidly but less is being done for the arts. It's sad really when we see massive corporations moving into the city for tax breaks but yet nothing changes for arts culture except the costs go up all around us.  Also, Boston historically is portrayed as a rock town but if you look under the skin there is a lot more warmth in what we and our peers do than any local media will ever cover.  On any given night you can find great local selectors and exciting parties bringing amazing underground acts to town but no local media is talking about it and the city is not very supportive.   
Listen, we don't  pretend to know it all and we are still figuring this out.  We have a lot to learn and we want to grow. There are a lot of people in this town rooted in house / disco/ dnb/ techno and they enjoy each other and the culture the fact is, the city should be supporting this more.  Come have a listen we are inviting you :) 

RA: What’s your favourite memory of the night?

AM: Too many to choose just one but at the top of these was when we first brought DJ Sprinkles in a snowstorm.  It was freezing there was a hell of a lot of snow all over the city preventing most from driving yet we danced we like never danced before. Not matter the elements everyone found a way to the club and showed up at 9pm. Terre played all night long and the place was one giant love fest.  The entire club was in tears at the end and it was hard to leave the room that night. I personally think I hugged Terre for 5 minutes without letting go after being so thankful seeing how happy the crowd was with one and other. It was such a beautiful moment.

Tomaz vs Filterheadz - Sunshine (Remixes 2012), this is a low quality preview at 96kbps

Milestones are never forgotten. When "Sunshine" was doing the rounds back in the day, everyone and their mother was on it, and rightly so.

Naturally it was up to 1605 to bring the anthem of anthems to the spotlight once again and hit everyone where it hurts, with five completely different renditions.

Umek sets the record straight with a monstrous interpretation, ready to stand the test of times to come. The journey continues with D. Ramirez and his bouncing version, while Uto Karem goes the subliminal route. The mighty Filterheadz themselves have done a hi-octane 2012 remix, Filthy Rich goes for a luscious vibe, and in case you misplaced it, or have been living under a rock for the past years, the original mix is here as well.
