The next issue in the on-going Mastermix series features a centerpiece of Frankfurt’s club history: Wild Pitch Club.

A predecessor to the esteemed Robert Johnson and a stepping stone for Panorama Bar’s very own nd_baumecker.

Founded by Playhouse masterminds Ata and the late Heiko M/S/O it was a Thursday club night that heavily featured house music as a prescription to the ongoing techno fever. Enamored with the US-American roots of it and all things deep, it not only presented the right records, but also their creators and protagonists. With a string of guest DJs from Robert Hood and Claude Young to Kerri Chandler and Theo Parrish as well as talent from the UK and Europe, it was one of the culture’s hubs at the time.

Here you have its testimony. Selected and mixed by Ata and nd_baumecker, it’s an authentic snapshot of the club’s vibe and spirit, spread over two 2x12” volumes, a collectable tape (download included) and a pleasant streaming version, it’s the full dosage. Like Roach Motel confessed: Wild Pitch, I love you.

CPU celebrate 50th release with rebuilds of 2 rare bleep techno tracks from 1990.

Originally released on white label, ‘Move’ was written by Dean Marriott (aka D.Ramirez) and Lloyd Douglass and recorded in Sheffield in 1990. Only a small run were pressed which is reflected today by their high price on discogs.

These rare white labels by Detromental became legendary in the Sheffield techno scene as CPU label boss Chris Smith recalls: “they sounded like they should have been on Warp”, comparing them to the likes of Forgemasters, LFO and Nightmares on Wax.

Last year Chris noticed the track ‘Rewind’ had been posted on a techno group on Facebook and Sheffield DJ Richard Hardcastle tagged Dean in the comments, knowing he was the original artist.

Chris contacted Dean to ask if the master tapes still existed, unfortunately they were lost so Chris asked for permission to rebuild the tracks. Dean was sceptical at first as techno cover versions rarely work, but Chris’s keen eye for detail saw faithful reproductions using many of the synthesizers used to make the originals. 

This project is a labour of love for Chris as these tracks were among his favourites from the era. Huge respect to Dean & Lloyd for writing them and graciously allowing this project to happen some 27 years after they were originally made. 

As with all tracks in the ‘Yorkshire Bleep & Bass’ genre; watch yer bass bins - I’m tellin’ ya!

Limited edition 12" vinyl in shrink-wrapped printed purple sleeve with paper inner. Includes Move (Rebuilt) and Rewind (Rebuilt).

Written by Dean Marriott & Lloyd Douglass

Tivoli Trax vol. 3

Pre-order

Premiere: B From E - No Memory

Melbourne party troupe, Animals Dancing return with the label’s sixth disc, Psytube; a mind-melting trip from Lyon duo, The Pilotwings. 

The synth-heavy house pair, synonymous with the BFDM label channel their digi synth euphoria into trance not trance and acid atmospheres across a four track EP. 

From the subtle breaks and pan flute/acid combo of Trance En Aubrac, steady synth flutter of Future Glouglou to the full tilt restless psychedelia of Yakado and cinematic acid stepping Gig in the Ocean, 

The Pilotwings once again showcase their tongue in cheek nods to the past with production launching into the future.

Released March 29 2019 - Distributed by Wordandsound, Germany
