B1. Shedbug - Unwavering

Out now on Beatport
https://www.beatport.com/release/brigade-mordor-ep/2165544


This new release is from Matt Sassari who is a French producer presenting a solo EP following his collaboration with D-Unity, which was released on Intec earlier in the year was a much anticipated follow-up to their top selling EP titled Fire Up This is Matt Sassaris first solo EP for Intec and his music can also be found on labels including SCI+TEC, Tronic, Bitten, and UMEKs 1605, amongst many others of a similar calibre. He has also featured a solo EP on Techno pioneer Kevin Saundersons label KMS Records. 

Also a popular DJ who regularly flies between continents to headline some of the worlds best clubs, this release is trademark of Matt Sassaris diverse sound that incorporates tough percussion with rolling grooves and intense atmosphere. Rock Trick opens the EP with a thundering kick drum and clattering atmospheric percussion, which sound like the inner workings of a powerful machine. Full of torque and an abundance of horsepower, this tracks full throttle groove is enough to rock the foundations of any Techno club. Second is the dark atmosphere and growing tension of "Brigade" that packs in rubbery textures and spooky FX, which is not for the feint hearted. Building with snare rolls and unnerving vocal bursts, each bass drop grows with impact and the dancefloor intensity increases.

Following on the heels of his previous instalment, Enke delivers yet again a first-class assemblage of propulsive grooves and outerspace-y keyboard lines in pure Legowelt style.

Amrint Keen - Dancing In The Parking Lot [Uncanny Valley]

@piff-records continues to unravel its catalogue by calling on an artist slightly closer to home. Cardiff-based @harrisonbdp adds to his already prolific discography with an EP that spans from mellow dub techno vibrations, all the way up to wide-open, rave-driven acid riffs. 

Harrison’s A-side revels in a deep pool of soft bubbling synth chords, moulded to the backdrop of tight rolling drum work and occasionally teasing the wider, heavier energies to be found on the flip.

The B side ripples with ricocheting, delay-laden soundscapes, rock-solid drums lines, and nostalgic lead synth lines that make you glad that you’ve caught on to this talented producer early on in his promising career.

EXCLUSIVE: Morphology - Mind Stealers (Sync 24 Remix)

Family, Fish, Shapes. These are only three of the many topics that Stefan Streck aka The Micronaut recently devoted himself to within his releases on labels such as Acker Records or Analogsoul. Always with a clear line, but never intellectualising, is how the multi-instrumentalist and producer pursues his scientific curiosity in terms of sounds. His tracks are elaborate and yet danceable. Sometimes they are composed minimally, sometimes they are utterly playful. Within just a few bars, subtle sequences transform to energetic roller coaster rides since The Micronaut loves having a game with contrasts. His newest EP on Freude am Tanzen proves this anew.
The EP contains four tracks full of references to the past in view of the future. Indeed, the samples and sounds of the British “summers of love“ echo strongly until today, however, they sound much more like a reinvention instead of a revival in the case of The Micronaut. Since his music doesn’t shy away from big gestures, but virtually seeks them out – and discovers them where melancholy meets euphoria far from rigid genre classifications. Breakbeats from Britain come upon IDM and trance, wide synth landscapes are embedded in pop. Hence, this is how The Micronaut unifies contrasts a new in each track.

A1. Earlylate
To start a rave once again somewhere in broad acres or in abandoned tunnels. On top of that, this track, whether early or late, the arms up in the air and a riot of emotion. Air horn!

A2. Oldnew
Shuffle, but different. Almost like Kompakt wasn’t from Cologne, but from London. Similar over here, nobody is looking obliquely when the beat doesn’t march straight forward four-to-the-floor. Massive groove with obstacles, might as well.

B1. Underover
It’s as if James Holden was on his way going on a short trip in England beginning of the nineties when basses still made ears and trousers tremble. This sound won’t age in a hundred years – especially not when it’s as fresh.

B2. Smallbig?
The bouncer with tremendous thoughtfulness. A hymn for the late hours shortly before the lights go on. In last retrospect, not thinking about tomorrow. In this moment for all eternity, for one night.

UNDETECTED ACT FROM THE GLOOM CHAMBER 

Ever since the early 90s, The Mover has set the standard for apocalyptic melodramatic techno and has been praised as one of the leading artists of Planet Core Productions. His distinct tone and memorable production expertise, causes one to leave the world behind. In 2018 he returns with „Undetected Act From The Gloom Chamber“, an album which implies all the goodness and fears he is renowned for. Eight masterpieces carrying the authentic excitement that you would expect from the Mover in a timeless fashion. Shifting between electro beats and classic old school techno patterns, the album sets a moody tone. The release is filled with magnificent bass lines and dark-dreamy pads that leave the mind in a trance. Muscular drums and authentic synth-lines paired with the unmistakable Mover signature, makes this assembly of gems an outstanding masterpiece.

Premiere: Martyné & Jacob - Große Pause

'Tantrum' is based on a single synth pattern that evolves by slightly changing it's relative start point. 
It's meant to evoke the feelings of a restless angry outburst.

The video, like the one for Trébucher, uses the cover artwork as the basis. The process is the same but the start point of the evolution is different.

'Simple rules lead to infinite complexity'

Throwing Snow - Tantrum [Houndstooth]

Changing Tides EP is the fourth release of our Kommuna Tapes imprint. The A sides features two breaky, electro-infused tracks from Undersound affiliate Chris Geschwindner, while the flipside goes back to the roots: Adam Collins, half of legendary tech-house golden era duo Omni AM, brings us impeccable groove, and early 00s deep house icon Seafoam allows us to trip up through the early evening or morning hours.

Track by track, we build a Kommuna of artists who share our insatiable appetite for music discovery, guided by a certain vision of the dancefloor: deep stripped-down grooves, sometimes challenging, always with character.

Reptant joins Salt Mines for their second record, Illusory.  A teched out step into the sewers of acid, break-beat & deep house
