With The Tiger, Matias Aguayo returns to Kompakt with his first EP for the label since 2014’s Legende. Since then, he’s been busy with all manner of experiments and explorations – a monthly radio show on Worldwide FM, 2019’s Support Alien Invasion; the essential El Rudo Del House series; an album on Crammed Discs with his group The Desdemonas; collaborations with Sano and Gladkazuka (as Rionegro), DJ Spoko, Mujaji, Julianna, a new trio with DJs Pareja, named MDM Factory, and the latest offering on his Cómeme imprint, El Cameron featuring Ricardo Villalobos. But something special happens when Aguayo returns to the mothership, as though he’s reconnecting with something essential: “pop melancholy is just right there,” he says.

On The Tiger, Aguayo is in touch with the core of the flame, the music that’s at the centre of his being. While most of the music may have originated “in the foggy Mexican forest,” he’s sure that the EP is “still a Cologne record,” something you can hear as soon as the prowling bass, shuffling rhythms and ghostly voices of the title track lope stealthily into earshot. The titular character is caught up in the sensuous tangle of the night, that space between dusk’s delirium and dawn’s dreaming. Aguayo sings, “Do you see the same I see? Are we having the same dream?” – here, he’s picturing an after-hours revelation, “on a warm muggy night with all sorts of background noise from various nightwalking animals – but at the same time, I was a city dweller stranded in the jungle, who still dressed like he was about to go to the disco.”

The ascending, ever-circling bass of “Nightshift, The Red” tells another story, a spiralling mantra that’s hypnotically psychedelic, yet elegant, refined, filled with sonic textures you can almost reach out and touch, like knotted twists of exotic fabric. “The lyrics are very associative and somewhere between urban and jungle nightlife,” Aguayo mentions, “fireflies shine, but also the reflections of the disco ball.” “Show Me What You’re Feeling” takes us back to the 1990s, with Aguayo re-working some vocal and lyrical fragments from three decades ago, its beautiful uncertainty remarkable in what Aguayo calls its “extremely emotional openness”. Dappled with melancholy, it’s a lover’s hymn to intimacy and vulnerability.

Aguayo signs off The Tiger with “El Propio Propio”, a celebratory ending to an EP that’s rich and complex, full of lovely musical moments – the tender melodies woven through “Show Me What You’re Feeling”; the warping, pliable, plastic textures that Aguayo crumples and crinkles through “El Propio Propio”. Like much of Aguayo’s music, The Tiger highlights the senses, to advance a new sensibility, one that inhabits a fever-dream of hints and clues, a mystery that’s solved by the deep, dark sensuality of the rhythms here, fully in love with the nightlife. It finds its exoticism in unexpected moments, sideways glances, surprising twists and turns. After all, as Aguayo says, “moths are far more glamorous and mysterious than butterflies.”

Label: Mile End Records 
Artist: PEREL (@PEREL-music)
Title: Amin EP 
Release Date: Monday 26 September 2016 
Format: Digital 
CAT#: MILE308

Mile End Records is a label focused on House music in all its forms. Sometimes Deep, sometimes Techy and always on point in terms of quality and groove. The Canadian based label set up in 2005 has released music from a number of seminal artists including Leftwing & Kody, Cera Alba, Lee Walker, Darius Syrossian, DJ Pierre and Glimpse, who these days is perhaps more commonly known for being one half of Dense & Pika. 

The latest EP comes from Berlin (Germany) DJ, Producer and Vocalist named Annegret Perel Fiedler, who appears as her "Perel" alias. Following a release on Do Not Sleep Ibiza, Perel's music can also be found on Ourselves, O*RS and Lyase Recordings. 

The solo remix here is from Moscoman, who has made the move from Tel Aviv (Israel) to Berlin. Creating a personal sound with varied influences, he heads up the Disco Halal label and also enjoyed success with great releases for ESP Institute, Correspondant, I'm A Cliché and Eskimo. 

Track one titled “Amin” is the first of the two originals to feature on this release. Oozing class from the very first beat, it has a deep synth line and organic flow which is soon followed by expertly placed keys and complimenting chords. Instantly captivating with a dreamy aesthetic, the track has gothic 80's undertones and will no doubt appeal to fans of artists like Recondite and Tale of Us. 

Second on the release is the Moscoman remix of “Amin” and he takes it up a notch with his rework. Thickening the percussion he adds a throbbing pulse to give the bassline an injection of energy. Moving like the crest of a wave, the melody weaves in and out of the mix to create drama and build tension in what can only be described as an epic remix. 

The third track on this EP titled “Distance Touch” is the second of two originals. Lead by the bassline, this is another melodic monster with just the right amount of chic. Stripped back percussion makes space for rising pads, whilst the intimate whisper of the female vocal captivates the listener. Distinctively individual, the track has a poignant sense of mystery and is a must have DJ tool for anyone who likes to take the dancefloor on a journey. 

Finishing the release is a Radio Edit of “Amin” for anyone looking to have a rather more compact version of the EP’s lead track.

Exclusive:  The Imbeciles - One Hand Tommy (DJ Tennis & Danny Daze Remix)

The fourth and final part of remixes for The Imbeciles' self-titled and self-released album is just around the corner. This time the artistic duo have chosen some of the electronic music scene's most exciting and relevant producers to take on remix duties for their One Hand Tommy track. Among them are Miami residents DJ Tennnis and Danny Daze. While the latter is the label head of Omnidisc, DJ Tennis runs the prolific Life And Death imprint, a platform which has been a relevant source for both: producers and lovers of the arts. While Manfredi Romano, DJ Tennis' real name, took on the responsibility for the melancholic synths and array, Danny Daze's influence on the remix approach can be heard in the 'razor sharp breaks'. A chuggling bass line in combination with partly glitchy vocals snippets, bleeping background sounds is enriched with elongated synth-sounds, which consciously drift off to cosmic spheres adding more deepness as well as edginess to Daze's and Tennis' musical melding.

The Imbeciles' EP One Hand Tommy Remixes will be released on July 17th, 2020.
