I am Definitely Dead Now

June '19 Discoveries

Lo and behold; today marks the very last instalment in our ten-part Debut series with 50WEAPONS. What better way to round it off than with a 12" of techno head-splitters from two notable Berlin heads – FJAAK and Dystopian head, Rødhåd. A powerful combination that cements Berlin's ever strong, unfaltering plight in the techno world of today.

Rødhåd's 50WEAPONS inauguration may be delayed but, falling in at catalogue number #049 (close second to the grand finale), it's better late than ever. In the Elder Scrolls game-inspired "Oblivion", factory line drums pummel softly underneath, whilst faint synth sirens circle overhead. We can almost feel the smoke-filled, strobe-lit warehouse now. A noble sendoff to the prestigious 50W imprint, with some much revered Dystopian flavour. R.I.P. 50WEAPONS

#049 drops on 11th December.

Rødhåd "Oblivion" - Boiler Room Debuts

ow it's time for another triple threat and The Martinez Brothers are welcoming a whole host of electronic talent to Cuttin Headz for their label's next release. The 'Joint Custody' EP is perhaps one of the biggest releases on the New York imprint to date and over two tracks, they've enlisted the likes of Martin Buttrich, Mathew Jonson and Jerome Sydenham to lend a production hand.

On one side, Martin Buttrich has teamed up with the brothers on 'Attention Deficit Disorder' which we heard at Printworks and boy does it thump but we've got the premiere of Jonson and Sydenham's collaborative effort, 'No Pop'.

This gargling 12-minute epic is the perfect culmination of the three act's sounds. It's hard to put it into words without using the words banger or weapon so we'll let you listen and judge for yourself.

After the exceptional response for DELT.A’s debut release, label head Deltano leads the way with two original cuts and an impressive remix by TVE Recordings boss, Joris Biesmans.

Belgium based Deltano rose to fame with tracks on Be Chosen, Suara and many others, soon becoming a permanent feature in the selections of a wide cross-section of DJs. Sets at Extrema Outdoor, Tomorrowland and Cafe D’Anvers have cemented his place among the Belgian House elite and across these two cuts, Deltano shows his depth of studio craft and myriad influences.

Deltano’s first original, ‘Flow’, is a muscular house cut with tribal overtures. Very reminiscent of his DJ style, layers of tension build up over time before an apt vocal sample details the concept of layering sounds.

Built around a repeated musical motif, ‘Thrive’ bursts from the speakers with fresh energy and warm summery vitality. Underpinning the track is a solid percussive framework giving the melodic elements plenty of room to breathe. Upping the pace on the remix, Watergate regular and TVE Recordings boss Joris Biesmans funks things up considerably with a rubbery bassline driving the track forward.

Artist: Acidulant
Title: Attack of the 303
Label: Afro Acid
Cat: AAD056
Genre: Acid House
Release Date: 07/06/18
Buy here: afroacid.bandcamp.com/

Legendary acid pioneer DJ Pierre has selected 12 killer acid tracks for his Afro Acid label and will release them as a special 2 x 12” vinyl on Record Store Day, then digitally later in the year, with names like Mark Archer, A Guy Called Gerald, K’Alexi & Tony Loveless and many more all featured.

In 1987 the first acid record, ‘Acid Tracks’, was released by the Chicago group Phuture—DJ Pierre, DJ Spank-Spank and Herb J—who thought to twist the knobs on the Roland TB-303 in such a way that it created an entirely new (and at that time, totally bizarre) instrumental sound that resonates to this day. 

Acid 88 celebrates the origins of acid house by featuring a selection of new acid tracks from legendary artists and fresh, rising talent. Together these tracks showcase the breadth and depth of acid—from house to techno, from jackin to deep. It is also a tribute to the life and legacy of DJ Spank—may he rest in power.
