Dutchman PTDD has boarded the Pleasure Express with a cleverly crafted, hard-to-pin-down 4 track EP. While each track is unique in it’s own refreshing way, his secret recipe clearly contains all of the dancefloor essentials: snappy break-ish drum designs, hypnotic (r)evolutionary synths & intergalactic basslines.

PREMIERE : PTDD - Blauwe Reus

Having released a slew of heralded 12”s on Capitol K’s Faith And Industry Records, Darker Than Wax & XVI Records and previous support coming from the likes of Tom Ravenscroft, Dummy, Bandcamp, Boiler Room, Mixmag, DJ Mag and Keep Hush, Dampé showcases why he’s making a name for himself as one to watch in the UK’s vibrant Electronic music scene. ‘Twenty Two Savanna’ utilizes twisting, contorted breakbeats colliding against trance-like euphoria inducing synth patterns and shuttered vocals. With more en route for 2023, we couldn’t think of a better way to end the year.

In collaboration with Paris' recordshop Dizonord, Knekelhuis will close the summer of 2019 with this amazing gem. Beyond the Beat will burst dancefloors soon. 

Founded in 1990 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Cold Front were what you'd call early adaptors, their music at the time of its inception an oddity. This fourpiece, consisting of spouses Ayanna and Cam Muata, Jon Jon Scott and Ron Clark, were far ahead of their time and faded just as rapidly as they entered the stage, only playing a handful of local shows in support of Nine Inch Nails, Meat Beat Manifesto and such, alongside several cameos during early house nights and techno events.

Though short lived, their music nevertheless speaks volumes. It's intriguing stuff, a magical association of sound reminiscent of Ron Hardy and Klein MBO. New Beat-like drum parts, overdubbed by politically engaged raps, basslines that would make The Cure proud, held together by freakout speaking in tongues vocal experiments while also showing an obvious parallel to the rise of triphop at the other side of the ocean.

Beyond The Beat

KH024/DZN01 - Cold Front - Beyond The Beat [preview]

The sound of rain is always different: if you find yourself in the forest, the rain envelops you with its muted but consistent rush.  If you are out in the desert or in an open field, you can hear it approaching for hours, like a reverb effect that's getting dryer and dryer. If you are in the city, you hear its complex rhythmic banging on the windows or the roof or the puddle on a street.  If you combine all of those together, you'll have a pretty good idea how Strategy's Tropical Storm sounds.  Each element in the track seems to represent some kind of rain: there is the urban rhythm, there's the desert-y synth that comes at you from a distance, and there is the muted bassline straight from the forest floor. And just like rain itself, the track twists and turns from more relaxed and gentle to more forceful and pounding, ultimately dissipating and leaving the listener with that fresh post summer rain feeling.

Following on from 'PINK' and 'RED' issued earlier this year, @uncanny-valley-dresden return with 'ORANGE' - the third EP out of seven scheduled to celebrate their 50th release milestone. Christopher Rau's 'Paradijs' - as its name very justly suggests - teleports us to a much idyllic realm of breaks-strewn, post-balearic atmospheric opulence.

@christopher-rau headlines our second residency night in Berlin at Zur Klappe on Friday 13 September.

Music in Exile, a new initiative aimed at creating space for artists working in culturally or linguistically diverse communities in Australia, have kindly asked me to contribute a remix for one of their groups, Ausecuma Beats. Ausecuma Beats is a nine strong ensemble with members from Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Cuba, Guinea and Australia with a strong focus on rhythm. I dropped in a band practise of theirs and was floored by their musical wizardry.

Here is Flirting Shadow, a River Yarra original, featured the B-side of the remix 12"

Jan Schulte aka Bufiman releases his drum rhythm versions from his latest Dekmantel LP ‘Albumsi'.

In his own words: “Hi, my name is Bufiman and I do drum music for world peace and dance music for frogs. I recently released a longplayer called ‘Albumsi' on Dekmantel. While doing the mix-downs for ‘Albumsi' I realized how much effort I had put in it and how it might even seem overproduced in comparison to other records of mine. This was the result of ‘Albumsi’ being in the first year after quitting all other jobs to focus completely on music. It was the first time I had a studio, some gear and time all at once, at the same moment. So during the mixing process I realized how carefully and loaded the drum tracks were, I even had unused leftover drum material… I also just found a Dutch record heavily inspired by the classic Jive Rhythm Trax with the name 'Mix Your Own Breaks - Construction in Music' with an accompanying text that inspired my idea to do some of my own rhythm trax versions: "The compositions on this LP only consist of rhythms and sound effects. They can be used as: a transition between two records, to be mixed as a break in between and for the production of jingles. Have a lot of fun with these breaks!" Or in Dutch, as originally printed on the record: VEEL MIX-PLEZIER MET DEZE BREAKS - Een multifunctionele LP voor Discjockeys, Thuismixers en geluids-amateurs.”

Sharing a name with an interstellar object is no small feat but today’s premiere by Aspetuck, ‘Oumuamua’ provides a bit less international intrigue and a bit more groove while being very club-friendly. Coming right out the gate, Oumuamua establishes a percussion-led atmosphere as the drum machines are in full effect, followed by the sweeping pads that we all know and love at Delayed. Reminiscent of days or universes gone past.

Oumuamua is a part of 'Distant Messanger' EP scheduled for release on March 15th via A Friend in Need.
