RH009: OPUS KLIEN - AERONAUTIC EP
16 SEPTEMBER 2022
BUY: https://fanlink.to/RH009

Remmah returns to the homeland of label founder Rory Hamilton aka Hammer, for its ninth release, which welcomes another Ireland-based act to the label roster.

Dave Lievense and Stephen Porter had spent years honing hard-won reputations for quality on their own projects before linking up to form Opus Klien, with Lievense best known as one half of Hotflush, Planet E and Cocoon-affiliated outfit Psycatron, and Porter building one of Ireland's most highly regarded events series, Jika Jika!

Having made a mark with a pair of remixes and a run of thunderous live performances, including regular appearances at The Warehouse Project and dates supporting Daniel Avery and Dense & Pika, the Aeronautic EP finds the Irish duo's debut EP mining both their shared acid house and bleep techno influences, and the electronic pop & avant garde music of their youth.

The resultant four tracks ride waves of euphoria and intensity that made them a perfect fit for the cosmic techno/italo/acid-infused sound Hammer has established in his curation of the label so far - making an appearance himself with his own sharp & to-the-point reshaping of Monsters.

Tracklist:
01. Aeronautic
02. Antares
03. Monsters (Hammer Chop)
04. La Botelli

leoleoleo is a project by Manchester based DJ and producer, Leo Burrell. After a euphoric debut single in the spring of 2022 which saw support from Horse Meat Disco, Sasha and Bill Brewster, as well as DJ sets alongside Romare, Cody Currie and Crazy P, Leo returns with a more melancholic yet still optimistic, tropes EP, landing on November 25th, featuring collaborations with jazz pianist, Rupert Cox and ambient guitarist, John Diver.

The tropes EP continues the half-glass-full aesthetic of the agadir/parapet EP, with soaring pads, arpeggiators and synth leads taking center stage, all underpinned by consistently broken kicks – there's no 4-on-the-floor in sight here. It has a definite home-listening dynamic, but all the tracks explore modern dance-floor tropes, hence the title.

The first and only single, red sun (out November 4th - music video ) was born out of a formative trip to Jordan in January 2020, with memories of crossing the sublime Wadi Rum desert in a jeep inspiring epic soundscapes, punctuated by a momentous breakbeat, pounding kicks and a funky yet machine-like bassline.

Opening track, yuánfen ft. rupert cox sees offcuts of jazz pianist, Rupert Cox’s forthcoming debut album sampled alongside an elusive ‘60s sample. More pads and analog goodness were added later by Rupert, with leoleoleo on arpeggiators, drums and arrangement.

Third track, esme ft. john diver is a collaboration with Glaswegian ambient guitarist, John Diver which was previewed back in April, leading to support from veteran, Bill Brewster as well as play-listing from EELF, Majestic Casual and Sasha, who added it to the burgeoning LUZoSCURA editorial.

Acting title track, trope, was written in the first lockdown of 2020, with a doomsday sensibility pervading throughout. Inspired by Joy Orbison’s Slipping EP, this deceptively slow number chugs with a driving energy from more broken kicks before unfolding into a huge bass drop which concludes the EP.

RH010: BOOTS & KATS - PEOPLE'S DANCE EP
20 JANUARY 2023


Since 2015 Jack Keogh and Ciaran Martin, aka Boots & Kats, have established themselves as one of Irish electronic music’s most renowned touring acts . The pair came to DJ together initially as residents at Toast, a legacy house and disco weekly night in Dublin, before issuing a series of cleverly crafted, soulful disco edits.

The pair have since further crafted their own sound, combining elements of acid house, disco and infectious melodies to create peak energy moments in their sets, which have been a regular feature of electronic music festivals the world over, including Snowbombing, Parklife and Ireland’s own Life Festival.

Their debut on Hammer’s Remmah imprint sees the duo moving from their italo/disco influences to a heavier, club-focused sound. The EP title track is a full on 90s acid techno banger, with the rest of the EP charting a course through the cascading synth lines of Knox, the break-led groove of Nobody Else, and the driving techno of Push Pull.

Tracklist:
01. People's Dance
02. Knox
03. Nobody Else
04. Push Pull

Underground System returns to @razor-n-tape with the ‘Looking In EP’ -  a 5-track offering of fresh originals and remixes. Ranging from low-slung Balearic grooves, to driving left-field funk and urgent up-tempo backbeats, the record is a fine-tuning of the US sound, complete with their signature flute and synth soundscapes, driving percussion, and catchy offbeat vocal hooks. On the B-side, RNT mainstays Nenor and Clive From Accounts take two of the tunes into clubbier territory, with a pair of remixes that are primed for the dance floor.
