A1. Under Control
A2. Aquarian Age Groove
B1. CinemaScope
B2. Nimbus (Amoeba Mix)

Alphaville Records returns to action with Simic, and his carefully crafted “Under Control EP”. The Brooklyn based producer presents an EP of four understated, spicy groovers, following the Alphaville ethos of having a cut suitable for all flavours of the dance floor. 

The A-side kicks off with the title track “Under Control”, a housey groover guided by one of Simic’s trademark melodies. Next up is “Aquarian Age Groove”, a chuggy, evolving dance floor weapon primed for the bag. On the flip side the sample filled “CinemaScope” leads the way, before the final track “Nimbus (Amoeba Mix)” fully submerges you underwater with its wide hypnotic, rolling rhythms.

Under Control EP

Simic - Under Control EP

Simic, the name you probably know primarily from his (and Miles Mercer’s) Accessory Records, this time lands on Alphaville Records. A bit forgotten name for me, to be honest, but there’s a reason for it – their previous release was made in the previous era (almost) – in 2019. But you could still hear the name of Tom Cottrell after that (he is running the label). I’m still waiting for one of Simic’s future releases, and knowing about what’s hiding there, decided to give this one a try too. To be brief – I wasn’t disappointed at all.

An Introduction to Frost EP

AR008: Simic - An Introduction to Frost EP

Irish label Major Problems (https://soundcloud.com/majorproblems) are only on their fourth release, but they've already shown a breadth of ideas and a willingness to flirt with a range of styles across the house and techno spectrum. Following two releases from the Levon Vincent-approved Terriers and the shadowy Compassion Crew, the label eases gradually into 2015 with a 12" from Seattle-based Simic (https://soundcloud.com/simictacoma). The mood is expansive, as each track captures a thrilling, fast-paced groove, while maintaining a dream-like atmosphere — a delicate balance, yet rendered exquisitely. That mood is particularly evident in "Dust", which we have the privilege of sharing with you here exclusively, ahead of its release on April 6.

Premiere: Simic - Dust

Acid Camp Records launches now with its debut release, Simic's “Corot-7b." The Seattle-based artist's full-length EP, features four original tracks along with a remix of the record’s single “Corot-7b” by John Tejada. The 300-piece release is a double-sided 12” pressed in Europe, and mastered & cut in Berlin by Stefan at Scape Mastering.

The title track sets the mood for a truly special record. Deep at heart, the moody track brings an expansive, spacey vibe. It's a dynamic techno track that centers you. Tejada remixes “Corot-7b” into a groovier, forward-moving track with a bassline that brings forth a bouncy and overarching uplifting mood. Whether it be a sunrise set or poolside feels, this is what your perfect sun-filled day sounds like.

"Sysop 1" opens up side B with a catchy, quick-witted synth line that eventually draws in a light tempered shaker. The first two minutes of the track build you up to release you into an airy and atmospheric vibe. Then the synth line enters for a cosmic cool down that waxes and wanes between building the track up to bring it back down. The last track on the record, "Expressway," is light and dreamy — a diverse ambient track that can be the perfect warm up or cool down. The track makes eloquent use of percussion in the form of chimes, wood blocks, and bells.

This release holds court with Acid Camp’s expanding reputation. Just like the podcasts and parties, this record is uncompromisingly thoughtful and well curated. It lends to us surreal, forward-thinking tracks that are notably memorable & dynamic.

The second release from Seattle-based collective secondnature comes from Simic with the "Discussion of Interests" EP. Three tracks of psychedelic and effective electronic music that falls somewhere between house and techno, along with a remix from Slow Life lead producer S. Moreira. Discussion of Interests is another marker in the development of secondnature’s musical realm, expanding it from the dark and cerebral techno of Fugal’s “Oil Panes” EP to one that includes more groove-laden tracks with expressive melodic content. The record is available at many fine vinyl retailers worldwide, courtesy of ReadyMade Distribution.
