Found in 2018 - Part 1

Hernan Cattaneo returns home with his studio partners Soundexile. However the boys have let some of their best friends and favourite remixers do the hard work this time, as two of the labels previous monsters have been reworked for 2014. 
Starting with Altair, a track directly coming from the last Cattaneo’s Masters Series CD, and its Hernan´s fav Guy J on remix duties. His trademark infectious vibe is injected here, with his magical spell cast over this mysterious soundscape with warm layers of sounds interlocking as the journey develops. This is both deep and melancholic, yet uplifting and epic, showcasing Guy's golden studio productions to the max! 
The second remix is of Infoxication and again in we went to Israel with two label favourites teaming up as Guy Mantzur and Lonya collaborate. This enigmatic reworking is a deep yet sprightly encapsulating voyage with its feet firmly on the dance floor, while its tonality and effects circulate around its cavernous grotto of sound.

OUT NOW!

The 25th release on 238West finds the label revisiting John Johnson's 'Impact' with the first of two remix editions. The seminal track was released in 2000 on the famed English Ministry of Sound imprint ‘IDJ ‘and gained huge popularity after receiving heavy play from both Sasha and John Digweed. It was the beginning of a wave of success for the New York based producer and remains a standout piece on his meticulous discography. Regarded as one of the defining tracks in the progressive house golden era it's irresistible hooks have stood the test of time remarkably well. For the first remix edition 238West have called upon Cid Inc. and Jamie Stevens to update the track for 2015.

  The first interpretation of 'Impact' is provided by Cid Inc. who is making his first appearance on 238West. The Swedish born but now Finland based producer and Replug Records label boss has been enjoying the best year of his storied career. 2015 began with the much anticipated release of 'Guardian' courtesy of Guy J's Lost & Found Records. Widely regarded as his career best work it was followed with the equally brilliant 3 track 'Temazcal' EP courtesy of Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. Cid Inc's unique fusion of techno beats, funk laden grooves and progressive minded sensibilities continues to be one of the underground's freshest sounds. As a perpetually in demand remixer Cid Inc's rendition of 'Impact' sits as one of his all time best club productions. Beginning with a fluid yet bouncy revamp of the groove the Swedish producers distinctive sonic hallmarks begin to work their way into the mix. Momentous rhythms along with complementary tones and a lively shaker lifts the vibe higher as the track reaches the main break. The nearly two minute interlude showcases a storyboard of rising modulation and atmospheric pressures which build to a tasteful apex before the unmistakable groove returns for a great moment. A perfect remix from Cid Inc. which will stand the test of time.   

The second interpretation of 'Impact' is provided by Jamie Stevens who is also making his first appearance on 238West. The Australian producer has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success over the course of his career. As one of his country's most talented and sought after music producers he has proven his skill in professional sound design, music scores for film and contemporary electronic music. As the founding member of Infusion, the much-loved Australian live act, he's left his mark around the globe, headlining some of the biggest and most respected clubs including; Fabric- London, Pacha - Buenos Aires, Womb- Tokyo and festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Roskilde and Creamfields in Moscow, Brazil, UK and Argentina. In his home country, Infusion has received 2 prestigious ARIA awards for their work. 

  More recently Jamie's discography has been highlighted by a contribution to John Digweed and Nick Muir's 'Versus' album along with 'The Wonder of You', released in 2013 on microCastle, which is now regarded as his career best piece of music. In recent years Jamie has been famed for his Tech Dub revisions and he's worked that magic once again for a compelling interpretation of 'Impact'. Low slung bass stabs, vibrant percussion and spacey electronics, all wrapped together with the distinctive rhythms from the original make for a tough and engaging first act. Growling synths and distinct drum fills further the tracks sonic scope before it begins to strip down into the main break. The suspense filled interlude is fueled with firing electronics and those unmistakable rhythms before a series of broken beats lets the growling synth loose once more for the ultimate finale. A cutting edge interpretation from Jamie which rounds out part 1 of the Impact remixes on a strong note. Don't miss them!  

John Johnson - Impact (Cid Inc Remix) [238 West]

With Guy J’s eagerly anticipated third artist album drawing ever closer on John Digweed’s Bedrock Records, the first offering is delivered in the form of three intricately crafted productions titled ‘Nirvana’.

Forever drawing influence from contrasting styles, genres and concepts, Guy J has become synonymous with creating innovative and out of the box productions such as ‘1000 Words’ which received an array of solid reviews from leading publications within the music industry. Adhering to exactly that fashion, Nirvana embraces his eclectic and much envied ability of being able to produce a varying catalogue of tracks of the highest stature.

Traversing through fluttering synth arrangements and atmospheric basslines, the opening production ‘8 Minute Flight’ is the superb beginning for what is set to be another profound chapter in the story of Guy J. A pivotal element of John Digweed’s Bedrock imprint, his forthcoming album is a showcase of all his favored diverse sounds compiled into a two CD’s of the highest caliber.

Never being content with constructing a linear style of productions, ‘Nirvana’s’ euphoric sounding riffs and elegantly composed percussion display Guy J’s versatility as an electronic artist, where as ‘Provokoter’s’ distorted rhythmic composition creates a darkened tone for all those listening. 

Carrying a wealth of experience on his shoulders, coupled with being supported by the underground music’s most profound names, ‘Nirvana’ is a sublime insight to the forthcoming album. Intricately weaving through each track creating an astonishing listening experience like no other, this EP will once again ignite excitement in the global music community that Guy J’s most ground breaking project to date is nearly upon us.

The 2xCD and Limited 12" Vinyl Sampler are both available to pre-order now from the Bedrock store http://bedrockmusic.bigcartel.com/products

‘Temporary Sanity’ first appeared on the critically acclaimed ‘Time’ (LF017) album by Guy Mantzur & Sahar Z, and has remained a standout favourite since the LP was released back in November 2014. Now, Cornucopia has breathed a new life into the track with a beautifully melodic, subtle, sun-drenched percussive remix.

Already a huge track for John Digweed, who loved it so much, he featured it on his recent ‘Live In Montreal’ (Bedrock) release. Since then, the demand has been steadily growing for Cornucopia’s remix to be released in its own right, so at last, here we have it in all it’s glory on Lost & Found.

Once in a while an album appears that is distinctly special and has the ability to captivate audiences on a global scale, breaking through simplistic genre boundaries and uniting people through its exploration of the psyche of modern electronic dance music. Guy Mantzur & Sahar Z’s ‘Time’ project was such an album, and it remains as captivating and enthralling today.

Italo-cosmonauts Marvin & Guy board Life and Death with Superior Conjunction.
Alessandro Parlatore and Marcello Giordani’s four-tracker explores parallel worlds through expert synthesizer sequencing and cavernous vocal features. Celestial melodies paired with Athena’s stream of consciousness Italian recital guarantees Superior Conjunction’s dance floor devastation.
Arpadia’s hypnotic theme compliments the title track’s restrained drama, while the Fantastic Twins’ spoken-word elevates The Train of Fantastic to an altered state of being.
The EP is out on June 16th, right on time for  this year’s Life and Death OFF Sonar event in Barcelona.

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

Jono Ma (of Jagwar Ma) and Angus Gruzman (of Dreems, Die Orangen) present “The Dreemas”. Recorded between their studios in industrial North London and the rogue outskirts of Berlin, The Dreemas is an electronic cryogenic stasis of two life-long friends in varying states of crisis, conversion and transcendence in the year 2017. 

Two minds and hearts coalesced into an ocean of sound, the groundwork formed with over a decade of instinctive studio sessions, sweat-riddled DJ conferences, and shoulder-to-shoulder dance dos in clubs, pubs and dusty down under doofs. They’ve spent endless hours together at the bottom of salty oceans gazing up at alien aquatic life forms. For years they’ve shared synthesisers across continents, exchanged records, lived together, flown together and bleed together. And at long last they have signed a contract that says they will “techno together”. The past presents the future, and the future presents the past on this soul-state snapshot of 2 friends encapsulated in the epoch of a 12”.

As the warm autumnal colours of copper, russet and ochre turn to muted monochrome palettes, hues of icy blue and opaque crystal usher in a seasonal compilation that bursts through slate grey skies in sparkling sunlight, cascading sonic reflections across the underground dance scene.

"Winter Particles 2018" draws together a collection of artists that traverse the globe from North and South America to Africa, Asia and Europe. An assemblage of subtle and beautiful tunes is brought together that epitomises the Particles ethos – showcasing established artists and highlighting aspiring newcomers in an aural collage of electronic sound.

The arrival of seasonal shift sees shafts of light reach out into the shadows and dust. A mote sparkles in the bright light; caught in light breeze it drifts gently in hypnotic patterns. The presence of a filtered arpeggio takes a similar path, rising and falling in effortless waves. A piano note hits, cascading repeatedly into eternity as a growling bassline creates perfect juxtaposition; a liquid ink sky lit up by a carpet of luminous pinpricks.

Summer's petrichor a distant memory amidst the icy shards that cling to bare branches, the snow-swept ridges keep their secret of once green and rolling hilltops. Winter's zeitgeist is firmly held within pulsating rhythms and melodies to warm the soul. The acceleration of time brings with it a new musical direction and impulse for change. Elevated to new heights, shimmering percussive intent casts a spell of hidden energy, an electrical charge and dynamic spirit. The fusion or organic and electronic sounds are crystal clear in invigorating sonic shapes and patterns.

Heading for the winter trip, heading for the slide. A mountain isn't far to fall when you're falling from a silhouetted moon.

Winter Particles 2018

Zeitgeist (Original Mix)

A young artist with exceptional musical talent, able to create the most amazing music and with the vision and drive to develop his own distinct imprint is most definitely someone to take notice of. His debut label release, Lost & Found, showcases the extraordinary talents of Guy J, from its beautifully subtle, spacious intro onwards. The track builds seemingly effortlessly through a deep, swinging, handclapping groove, into an ever blossoming, journey-like arrangement with a highly emotive core. This is undoubtedly a masterful creation. As the mood builds ever upwards towards deep, throbbing euphoria, Guy J pushes melodic emotion buttons like no other. Joyous, uplifting, intelligent and beautiful, there can be no doubt that Guy J is one of the standout electronic artists in the world today. Guy Mantzur and Sahar Z are two long-standing friends of Guy J, their diverse and genre blurring musical styles making them the perfect choice as remixers for Lost & Found. Cleverly reconstituting the track with a spikey, heavier (yet equally enthralling) intro, they gradually blend in swirling melodic elements to the irresistable groove. Its easy to become lost in the delirious atmosphere as these two super-talented producers work their hypnotic magic, trading euphoric peaks with pure heads-down, hot and sweaty, darkroom dancefloor attitude. This is a musically dense and diverse trip that is as dynamic as it is organic, gradually turning up the pressure, until the very last drop of emotion has poured out of the speakers. Lost & Found is a mission statement, a superb label debut, exploring the psyche of electronic dance music, asking questions and tasting possibilities, forging ahead into the future. This is a new label that everyone should, most definitely, keep on their own personal radar.
