MIXES FEATURING MY MUSIC

Leng Records has long admired Andrew Meecham’s work as The Emperor Machine. Last year, Meecham made his first appearance on the label via a fine remix of Harks & Mudd favourite ‘Susta’. 12 months on, Meecham returns to Leng with his first Emperor Machine outing of 2021, a typically eccentric, heavily electronic dancefloor outing featuring the seductive vocals of rising star Séverine Mouletin.

Meecham is one of British dance music’s most experienced and lauded producers, with a packed history stretching right back to the acid house era. He first rose to fame as part of Bizarre Inc and Chicken Lips (both alongside long-term studio partner Dean Meredith), but over the last two decades has devoted far more time to solo work as The Emperor Machine. In the process, he’s developed a sparse, hypnotic, heavily electronic trademark sound that combines analogue and modular synthesizer sounds with nods to post-punk disco, new wave, trippy proto-house and the mind-altering experiments of the Radiophonic Workshop.

‘Dance Par Amour’, his first solo single on Leng, is typical of his now familiar personal sonic style, with echoing, alien-sounding synthesizer motifs (some reminiscent of those that marked out Chicken Lips’ club classic ‘He Not In’), with bubbly sequenced bass, unfussy machine drums, rubbery slap-bass riffs and flashes of post-punk disco guitars.

Sparse but weighty and pleasingly trippy, the EP-leading ‘Extended Vocal Mix’ is classic Emperor Machine: a near ten-minute workout in which Mouletin’s tender but confident vocals rise above Meecham’s stylish and note perfect backing track, which sits somewhere between early ‘80s ‘no wave’ New York disco, lo-fi European synth-pop and the trippy late night dancefloor dubs that were once a feature of American boogie and proto-house records.

Meecham further explores his love of these sparse, effects-laden “synth-dubs” on the accompanying ‘Erotique Dub’, a thrillingly heavy, heads-down affair awash with echoing vocal snippets, hypnotic drums and synthesizer flourishes that attractively echo across the sound space. Like the best DJ-focused dubs of the early 1980s, the remix is propelled forwards by a strong bassline, around which other elements – guitar, bass guitar, sparkling synth sounds and mind-mangling electronics – appear, make their mark and then drift off into the ether. With key passages of Mouletin’s vocal appearing periodically to encourage people to dance, it’s the kind of delightfully wayward revision that will keep people dancing well into the early hours.

IDEE - Feel A Way [HZRC005]

Welcome to Synge Corporation, where the bass is deep, the plugins are overpriced and the city council bribes don’t pay themselves. ‘Bills to Pay’ is a progressive / techno hybrid with UK underground fingerprints all over it — ghetto shuffle, dub echoes, and a kick designed to make the accounting department sweat.

THE AFTERHOURS GUESTLIST (HOUSE) 3

Release date: 15 April 2016 on 12" vinyl & digital
Distibuted by Kompakt

I’m a Cliché’s first release of 2016 comes from label boss Cosmo Vitelli. After a five-year hiatus during which he was kept busy by his band Bot’Ox and relocating from Paris to Berlin, this is the very first release to come out of his new studio located in Berlin’s Marzahn district.

A CRUEL STORY
This emotional uptempo track driven by heartfelt synth work explores the territory of dancefloor melancholia. Influences from genres that end in « -wave » but also from the spirit of sentimental electro are obvious and they are creatively used by Cosmo Vitelli for particularly catchy and elegant dance-inducing results.

CHIENS DE L’ENFER
There’s something ominous in this track with a definite rock feeling which is structured around brooding percussion, hypnotic melodies, sinister synths and an entrancing bass line. Darkness prevails and this is the perfect track to take the dancefloor on a date with the hounds of hell.

KETAMINE KARAOKE
Cosmo Vitelli further explores and reinterprets the melancholic and melodic potential of older genres on this catchy tune that sounds like a lost recording from a forgotten yet influential band that used a bass guitar, gently modulating analog synths and vintage drum machines with a taste for dissociatives on the original sound track of a '70s French film.

A CRUEL STORY (I:CUBE REMIX)
One of our favorite producers in Paris delivers a remix which enhances the hypnotic elements of the original track which he turns into tune tense, dark but quite debonair where low end groove is complemented by tribal percussion. Clearlly, this is a track waiting to be unleashed on the dancefloor.

A CRUEL STORY (FX MCHN REMIX)
Fx Mchn is an up and coming producer from London whose tracks are often played by Cosmo Vitelli. This remix focuses on the funkier side of Cruel Story. Instantly danceable, elegantly layered and with added melodic touches, this track conjures element of the Detroit sound and will work wonders on even the most demanding of dancefloors.

Newcomer Aniche releases a strikingly original EP on Reptile Dysfunction : intricate, percussion-heavy dance music that sounds quite unlike anything else you’re likely to come across this year.
Aniche's synaesthesia has allowed him since childhood to see sound as shapes, colours, and textures. This deeply intimate and emotional connection with music has helped over 20 years of writing and producing music, and 15 years of DJing. His sound is an articulation of Eastern heritage and British culture, representing as much his 90s rave/electronica influences as classical Hindi and psychedelic disco.
“Releases like this are exactly why we set up Reptile Dysfunction. Aniche is a graduate of my DJ and producer academy and a great example of an artist whose dedication to his art and pure persistence as well as patience will give him a great career. We’re proud to be able to release this very unique debut EP.” Doorly Landing on Doorly’s Reptile Dysfunction label, Aniche’s Prologue EP is a gentle
easing-into of a grand narrative that will continue with the release of a full length LP later this year. The artwork is made up of colours that come directly from the music, with its vortex pulling you into his world. It features two tracks from the forthcoming album, and the initial pieces that confirmed he had truly found his niche. “Lipservice was the moment I discovered what is now my sound. Drums are hugely important to me, and every track on this EP is an evolution of experiments with percussion. The Himalayan Soul subtitle references a sub-style's pioneering, and Enchanted Gold is actually #2 in that series (#1 is on the Miami sampler!) so expect a lot more where that came from! But it’s Little Green Leaves that seems to be the runaway hit with most people, and that climactic final drop shakes me up every time.” Aniche

On the road since 2018, the still young London-based label Disco Milk brings label boss Super Paolo, one half of the music duo Tutto Matto, for its first release in 2021. His previous works delivered truly exquisite themes such as "In Your Shadow", "Cosmic Trip", both on Disco Milk, and "Bella Topa", on Leng Records, all featuring his strong influences of Disco, Soul, Funk, and Afro-Cosmic grooves with a modern and sharp approach. Joining Super Paolo on “MC Glory”, two legendary and supreme Italian masters: Baldelli & Dionigi. Their brilliant remix takes over the original’s vibe and gives to it their well-known and defined sonority.    

We were solicited to review the original and, oh boy, what a track, fellas! The bouncing bassline, topped with strings riffs, saxophone gusts, guitar layers, bleepy synth stabs… The plethora of elements gathered gives the impression that we are listening to a jazz band making a jam session before (or after or during) a gig while sipping tumblers of a fine London Dry Gin on the rocks and smoking some Montecristos. A complex piece that showcases Super Paolo’s proper production skills for those who were still not familiar with his work.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/disco-milk-records/16195
