Life On Venus – Frank Wiedemann Remix

Hailing from Odessa in Ukraine, Komilev found a new home in Spain amidst the war in his home country, and fortunately he’s been able to return to making the excellent music that has seen him release on Disco Halal, Watergate Records and Frau Blau. He debuts here on Exploited Club with two haunting, sophisticated gems. 

Delicate piano chords draw us into the graceful ‘Supreme’, which builds so very effortlessly. The pitter-patter of nagging synth line buzzes around cowbell and snare hits and detuned pads which soar dizzyingly in the distance. From the breakdown comes a breakbeat section which lets the dreamy elements of this track really spread their wings, before a pleasingly cheap sounding synth-guitar arpeggio bursts into life, sprinkling some euphoric energy into the proceedings. Delayed notes provide the icing on the cake.

‘Cuseni’ channels ‘80s synth-pop energy, a sparse broken beat rhythm peppered with Linn drum snares creating a haunting feel which is bolstered by the juicy walking bassline and shimmering electric organ stabs. A succinct but highly effective lead line follows the bassline’s progression, before we delve into a pitch-bending organ breakdown. Next comes a bold plucked synth riff that Depeche Mode would be proud of which sends the track well and truly into orbit.

Can't Stop is Jonathan Kaspar's debut EP on Maeve.

The title track runs to almost 12 mins and although debated and discussed many times, both the artist and label felt the track needs this length to fully intoxicate a dance floor. It is, in short, a trip.

Mano Le Tough steps up on remix duties for Can't Stop and delivers his signature magic touch. Littered with live percussive elements, it takes the original to deeper hypnotic level before firing the machines into life and surprising the listener with a soaring hook and glittering melodies.

Come Close is a straight up, heads down techno roller, made for late nights and hazy mornings in special dancing spaces. Rounding off the release is, "Too Late But Sorry", a sweet track that is reminiscent early Kompakt records in its beauty and pace.

All four tunes have their place in any DJ set and already have found an adoring audience the world over, it's fair to say we are extremely proud to have this on Maeve.

Following a hiatus, Bristol-based Ryan Artifact, fka Artifact, has reunited with Anja Schneider to put out the Let It Go EP, a storming new release on Sous Music. 
 
The title track is a big-room weapon of the highest order. A thick, rich bassline forms the backbone of the track, in which all elements are polished to a hi-shine. The repeated vocal snatch is subtle but hypnotic, the drums are delicate but purposeful, and gentle synth flourishes provide just the right amount of intrigue. 
 
“The Way It Did” is just as impressive, with another whomping bassline doing the heavy lifting. Playing like a sister track to “Let It Go”, it features a similar vocal grab and tight, considered arrangements, but picks up the pace and adds a peppy build. The resulting track is a surefire weapon at night and day parties alike, guaranteed to get the dancefloor rocking. 
 
“Believe Nothing” completes this family of tracks, with all three complementing each other. Built around a rocking beat, lively chords, tetchy choral synths and the same detached vocal, this one, primed for warmup or cool-down duties, is made to keep the party simmering. 
 
Ryan’s relationship with Schneider began in 2017, when he was putting out equally killer tunes on her back-then Mobilee label. The Let It Go EP follows the inclusion of Ryan’s track “However Far Forward” on a Sous compilation last year and sees him in the same fine form we’ve come to expect from him.

Good things take time. What’s 17 years? Not even a quarter of Keith Richards! 17 years lay between Heiko Voss’ debut album “Call Me Killer” and the incredible follow-up “3:30 Minutes To Live”, which saw the light of day in 2022 on Michael Mayer’s “other label” IMARA. There are serious voices saying that the 80s were only really complete with the release of this album. Now it took the blink of an eye of a year for the remixes to be finished. And they turned out so well that Michael Mayer from KOMPAKT licensed the “3 Remixes for Heiko Voss” without further ado.

Running back guru GERD JANSON was an early adopter of the album. Highly motivated, he twirls “Follow Your Line” rhythmically somehow in the direction of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”. How did he do that? Never mind. It grooves like crazy and keeps even larger floors moving.

ADA, the Hamburg grand dame of techno pop, has taken on the in tongue speaking funk banger “Talking Man” and dipped it in fairy dust. The result is probably the most sensational, soulful club track ever. Honestly.

The package is rounded off with a powerful Dub Version of “Follow Your Line” by the IMARA and KOMPAKT boss himself. Because he can do it.

Open your heart, let the remixes in.

Pulse sets the tone as the opening track of the Moments EP, a collection that delves deep into the realm of emotions. With its pulsating rhythms and infectious beats, Pulse is tailor-made for the dancefloor, beckoning listeners to surrender to its irresistible energy. Contrasting the more contemplative nature of the EP's second track, Moments, Pulse exudes an electrifying vibe that ignites the senses and invites audiences to lose themselves in the music. Moments, very personal to me, offers a more introspective journey, inviting listeners to explore the depths of their own emotions.
