The magnificent Bawrut returns to Ransom Note Records with an incredible new collection of interpretations of his music from the past couple of years, Remix Pack EP. Featuring a cast of the finest producers the underground currently has to offer, this four track whirlwind of club pounders exhibits everything that is great about electronic music in 2024.

First up, the mighty Marc Romboy takes Que Quiere Usted by the scruff of the neck and straightens it out into four to the floor, dance floor stomper. Originally a hand clap laden, frenetically jolly, five minute romp, Marc has taken the original concept and upped the techers chug factor by 200%!

Fernanda Arrau attacks Sonidero Usera head on, accentuating the tropical rainforest sounds of the source material, with added ambient echoes. Throwing in few classic house organ stabs and 909 kick drums, Fernanda has transmogrified it into an unswerving, deep down and dirty club workout of epic proportions.

R$N Records stalwart Hologram Teen takes Sonidero Usera in an even more unorthodox direction, introducing some of her trademark 80s computer game synth work. Underpinned by a sleazy, low slung bass line, the staccato Chiptune stabs almost seem incongruous, but Morgane’s artistry brings it all together perfectly.

Lastly, Nandele remixes Calima, from Bawrut’s 2022 record, In the Middle Extended. Adding in some manic percussion work and synth arpeggios Kraftwerk would be proud of, Nandele has turned it into a simultaneously anxiety inducing, yet meditative slice of terrifying machine funk.

Bawrut - Sonidero Usera (Fernanda Arrau Remix)

It’s My Beat - (D.A)

Ring Ring Ring! The dawn of a fresh day brings a new label near. Squid Recordings inks its way into existence with a heavy foot on rave Americana.

Four tunes, club-risen in an oven safe pan, dive into new territories for the California born Taylor Freels. SR001 grounds itself in the wirings of synths past while still focusing on heavy, sample-flipping grooves. The inaugural 12” for the project is a taste test for what is to come.

PREMIERE: Borghese - Be Free [Squid Recordings]

Originally released on seven-inch by the tiny PRM label in 1986, ‘Witches’ was the product of a sister-brother song writing team whose music was mostly recorded in the front room of a terraced house in Nanpean, a small industrial village in Cornwall, England’s most south-westerly county. While the single was infectious and dancefloor-ready, it sold in limited quantities at the time.

Zenana’s story can be traced back to the early 1980s, when singer-songwriter Anita Tedder founded the all-female trio as a vehicle for her socially conscious and politically charged songs, with a burning desire to put strong depictions of women front and centre. To bring Zenana to life, she joined forces with her brother Mike, an early adopter of electronic music who had built a small studio in his Cornish home, and recruited two fellow bandmembers, Penny Griffiths and Ruth Elder.

Zenana’s first demo cassette and distinctive presentation – their unique clothes and look were created by bandmember Penny – secured them a management contract, a slew of live bookings, a video shoot and even a television appearance. Buoyed by this underground success, they headed to the remote Sawmills Studio in Cornwall – famously only accessible by boat – to re-record their most popular number, ‘Witches’, a song about female agency inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

While this version of ‘Witches’ failed to make an impact at the time, it has become something of a cult classic following its rediscovery by crate digger Kiernan Abbott – and subsequent championing by DJs including Antal, Skyrager, Trevor Jackson and Luke Una – in early 2023. The buzz inspired Anita, Penny and Ruth to perform live again for the first time in decades, with the story of their surprise comeback being covered by British media outlets including the BBC, ITV, The Times and (more surprisingly) the Daily Mail.

Now presented in re-mastered form, ‘Witches’ is a genuinely slept-on gem. Propelled forwards by punchy drum machine beats, a killer synth bassline and fizzing keyboard sounds, the song benefits greatly from strong vocals and an extra-percussive middle eight layered with vocalisations, cosmic spoken word sections and swirling noises.

It comes backed by a brand-new extended ‘spell of love’ remix courtesy of Bristol duo Bedmo Disco, AKA music journalist Matt Anniss (author of Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music) and DJ/production partner Gareth Morgan. Anniss, a long-time friend of Mike and Anita Tedder, has fond memories of visiting Mike’s home studio with his family around the time that ‘Witches’ was originally recorded.

Working from Zenana’s original MFR eight-track recording (tapes of the single version were lost years ago), Anniss and Morgan have turned in the extended ‘dance mix’ the track never had first time around. More atmospheric, moody and dancefloor-focused, it offers authentic nods to New York proto-house, mid-80s Shep Pettibone dubs, and the pioneering synth-pop productions and dub mixes of Factory Records regular Martin Rushent.

For the seventh EP on his personal Midnight Themes imprint, Marlon Hoffstadt reveals 'Ready For Take Hoff' - a winning five-track release that perfectly sums up everything you can expect from the artist's gregarious DJ sets.

With a sound that, according to Hoffstadt, sits "somewhere in between techno, disco, trance and proto-house", the Berlin-based DJ-producer has handed over the final cut on the release 'Der Hoffmaster' - a skyrocketing tune that thrusts onto the dancefloor with a scintillating, peak-time quality.

Ready For Take Hoff drops on April 19 via Midnight Themes.
