Especial returns to it’s concept of taking tracks it loves - in this case Sfire’s debut - and remixing them for a stand alone EP.   Teaming up with Berlin’s Cocktail’s d’Amour for this special co-release, mixing desk duties are taken by newcomer Kris Baha, label mainstays Jamie Paton and INHALT, plus the esteemed Lauer. 

Sfire’s debut EP was one of those records that comes out to little fanfair but steadily becomes a sought after classic - something unique and until the recent repress was unsurprisingly going for casino money on the second hand market.
 
Following Discodromo’s remix of Khidja (EES019) the EP was born  with an aim to include all 3 originals in remixed form.  

Prime space is given to Melbourne / Berlin producer Kris Baha.  With is Power Station label and parties now names to watch, plus releases upcoming on Kinfolk and Bahnsteig23, his version of Sfire 2 takes the original’s prominent 80s’ heartfelt influences and adds arpeggio’s, shredded guitar and DMode keys on a bumping, throbbing journey down the Cosmic Hole.

Next Jamie Paton goes deep, with subdued arps, dubbed percussion and haunting bass refrain, all pulsing the vocals to a Distant Dreams meets Goodbye Horses sonnet.

This is backed with versions of Sfire 3.  First San Fran’s INHALT return with their unique modern Italo and West Coast Cold Wave mix, adding guitar and bass on a trip across the trans-pennine highway from Mancs to Sheffield and back with love.

Finally, Lauer’s killer 303, electro reversion is the apt end.   A remix that is more than a simple Synth-Pop retake, with 909s lifting the EP to finale.   “You felt so close to me...“

Soccer96 "Megadrive Lamborghini" - Boiler Room Debuts

"'Tis What 'Tis" is Googie's relentless debut solo album, hitting you with banger after shmanger of Googie's infectious vocal stylings over original beats you can't help but boogie to. Old school rhymes with a splash of intelligence are on full display, inviting you to vibe along with Googie's contagious, upbeat energy. So far out its getting colder, "'Tis what 'Tis" comes fresh on the heels of 2015's acclaimed BALD AFRO collaboration with underground workhorse Lt Headtrip, thrusting Googie to the forefront whether the world is ready or not. 

Hailing from West New York, NJ and currently based out of Queens, Googie is as confident and vibrant as the great city he calls home. Googie has spent years honing his craft in the independent rap scene, both as a solo artist and as a member of New York's loudest collective, the Karma Kids. "'Tis What 'Tis" features a who's-who of underground stalwarts, with features from fellow Karma Kids-- Gruff Lion, Duncecap and Lt Headtrip-- plus NYC staples Premrock and Warren S. Britt. On the beats, Googie enlists his labelmates Headtrip and Samurai Banana (who also supplies the cuts), and gets help from Montana Macks, Fresh Kils, RedDirt the Illusionist, Jeff Markey and two original beats from indie rap legend Blockhead. The end result is 45 minutes of instant classic. 

Stand up, get down and go berserk. If you don't have as much fun listening as Googie had creating, well, "'Tis what 'Tis."

"Portland stand up. Last night Aminé went on Fallon and delivered a beautiful, powerful performance of "Caroline," and he had some more Portland artists with him on backup vocals. One of those artists was The Last Artful, Dodgr, who has her own announcement to make today with "Oofda."

The song [Oofda] is the first single from The Last Artful, Dodgr and producer Neill Von Tally's upcoming album Bone Music, out in early 2017. We already knew the L.A.-born, Portland-based artist could spit, and we heard hints of her melodic delivery on songs like "Squadron" and "Jelly Hunt," but here she sings throughout in her raw, raspy, unmistakable voice.

Bone Music is both sonically and thematically cohesive, with a central narrative of a blue collar worker struggling through both work and a traditional relationship. This song in particular, Neill Von Tally explains, "is about the relationship our main character is in and the struggles that plague traditional long-term relationships, especially those strained by stressful work environments and a lack of monetary stability." - Pigeons & Planes (@pigeonsandplanes)

The Selectors project—an ongoing celebration of DJs with a particular devotion to their craft— successfully launched in 2016 with its first compilation (with Motor City Drum Ensemble at the helm) and a limited-capacity festival in Croatia. Dekmantel has already announced the festival’s return next summer, and now the compilation series is set to continue with a new edition curated by Young Marco.

Born Marco Sterk, he certainly doesn’t come from a standard DJ background. A former skate rat who grew up loving American post-hardcore and ’90s hip-hop as much as early Warp Records, he’s been affiliated over the years with Amsterdam institutions such as Rush Hour, Red Light Records and, of course, Dekmantel itself. Still, there’s no question that he’s always followed his own path, even during the years that playing his favorite records meant that he was occasionally clearing dancefloors.

Things are different these days, of course, as Sterk now regularly plays around the globe and has been widely hailed not just for his DJ talents, but also for his digging prowess and uncanny ability to pluck jams out of genres, eras and geographies that even veteran DJs will often ignore. In his mind, “the joy of getting home and finding out something is awesome is way more exciting than going through a big stack of curated records in some boring boutique record shop.” Still, Marco’s entry in the Selectors series isn’t some soulless collection of “Holy Grail” rarities. “Where’s the fun in that?” he explains. “Anybody with an internet connection can check what flavor-of-the-month records are in demand.”

Just like the first Selectors compilation, this is not a mix CD, but a collection of hand-picked, unmixed tracks that Sterk has personally chosen from his own vinyl archives. Moreover, Marco has put together a collection of tracks that represent not only how he plays music, but also how he makes music himself. The songs here are melodic, electronic and bound together by a refreshing sense of naiveté. Nothing sounds overly calculated; the tunes here span several decades and include dollar-bin records, avant-garde records, club records and yes, a few things that collector types have likely been looking to get their hands on. It's not meant to be a grand statement, as Marco would rather provide an honest snapshot of his musical tastes and share a few of his favorite tracks and artists in the process.

"My own loss of Chinese and estrangement from my blood shouldn’t be hidden, and the translations aren’t all correct. 

Baojiaxiang is the street that my family lives on. It is a homonym to a system of community enforcement, of looking out for one another. To me in writing it looks like “to hold the home alley.” My mother always told me that there’s nothing more important than what others think of you. I never asked her if she knew about this similarity. 

The orchestra of the frozen state is the machine, my laptop. It belongs to my past in my estrangement as well as the functions of this estrangement, with what little money my mother had that she spent on my classical training. More often than most kids in the hood I found myself in a suit, on a stage, in front of a bunch of rich people. Now more often than not I find myself longing to be there again, a component of a larger system that I could blindly spew my technique into without regard to its meaning. 

I made this tape because I don’t know who I am. I understand that this is a common problem, and that most people solve it by looking into their pasts, or connecting with their family, or something. None of these are viable, or possible really. I don’t believe I was ever meant to become a doctor and support family. I can’t see myself moving weight from one city in Arizona to another. I fucked up my voice with smoking so I can’t sing in choir anymore. 

So I took all of that piano knowledge and made something that sounds a little bit more like all the people around me. I want to thank all of my friends for holding me up along the way. I want to thank Los Angeles for giving me this gift of confidence in a lush, dissonant sound. I want to thank every dead white man for writing music that helped me become better than all their sons. I will thank China when I finally go home."

bod [包家巷] - SIDE_A Excerpt [VOID_047]

Fony taken from Auto-Reverse (Clone Classic Cuts 030).

Originally released on the  Auto-Motif EP on Monoplaza Records Co. in 1998.

Le Car - Auto-Reverse
A killer selection of ice cold motorized Detroit electro tracks by Le Car! After Le Car had been dismantled and the parts put in storage years ago we have a final ride with Le Car that has been reassembled for the occasion. The '96-'97 Detroit electro project by Adam Lee Miller (Later known for his Adult. project) and Ian Clarke (known for his Perspects project) show another side of the Detroit music scene. The duo met at Art School and had a shared love for electronic music and conceptual art. This resulted in their own little vehicle named Le Car that had a test drive for four ep's. The Auto-fuel Ep, Auto-graph Ep, Automatic and the final Auto-motif ep of which 3 came out on MIller's Detroit label "Monoplaza Record Company" (A Sublabel of Ersatz Audio). The connection between Rotterdam/The Hague and Detroit was quickly made those days when a new generation of producers came up (including producers such as DBX, Ectomorph and Drexciya) which resulted in collaborations and releases of Adult., and Perspects. These releases by Le Car are the conceptual link between the Detroit techno scene and the heritage of the automotive city that effected everything thats been going on in the city for the last 4-5 decades. Inspired by the electronic musical pioneers that came to rise during the decline of the city which was in full effect during the 80's. Robots replacing humans in the factories, Electronic machines replacing musical instruments. Where the warm Motown sound could stand for the rise of the city, the city's electro/techno movement which appeared in all layers of the population can be seen as the (beautiful) reflection of the city's downfall with Le Car as one understated and important part. Now, 20 years after their first test drive we celebrate the last ride of Le Car on Clone Classic Cuts. Enjoy the ride! (ltd edition 2lp album)

D’incarnations en réincarnations, Judah Warsky et Yeti Lane se côtoient et s’apprécient depuis leurs débuts. Il aura pourtant fallu attendre 2017 pour qu’une première collaboration ait lieu, chacun remixant l’autre, juste comme ça, pour le fun.
Tandis que Judah, depuis Buenos Aires, a silencieusement transposé Ne Dis Rien au cours d’une semaine de printemps au milieu de l’automne, à Paris les Yeti Lane se sont enfermés dans leur repaire souterrain et, seuls face à l’écran de leur studio, ont ré-enregistré le titre de Judah.
Le résultat : un quart d’heure de total trip narcotique et envoûtant.
