Dense & Pika celebrate a hat-trick of releases on their Hotflush home with a display of mercurial melodic flair.

With all the hallmark analogue, dust-treated sounds, the record kicks into gear with the unpredictably lush piano refrain of ‘Colt’, betraying a level of sensitivity not normally associated with the boldly direct duo.

Elsewhere, they’re as visceral as expected. ‘Black Deep' a demonic workout, all kitchen-sink percussion and body-blow bass, whilst 'Vomee' cruises along a bed of sparse atmospherics, dub-indebted stabs and bastardised vocals. 

Rounding off the EP is their most refined work to date. 'Airless (Live)' recorded in one take with live percussionists, woodwind and modular synthesizers, exhibiting their latent versatility and teasing at the possibilities yet to come.

Dense & Pika - Colt EP (HF041 Preview)

MARK HENNING| Blackout
[SOMA384]

A. Blackout
B. Jack & Jill

Mark Henning makes a welcome return to Soma with yet more jaw dropping tracks with the Blackout EP. Going back to his analogue roots, Mark has crafted two tough floor burners laden with his signature funked up basslines and crafty drum programming.

Title track Blackout rocks in with melted vocal samples over that ominous 909 kick, building slowly with a lush pad, the perfect intro to what will follow…Mark brings a perfectly sequenced bassline that growls yet remains as funky as can be. Layers of hi hats work their way as the bassline mutates in the background. Mark keeps this this track deep as the pad once again glides in giving a bit of Motor City feel. This is real machine funk.

On Jack & Jill Henning keeps it stripped back but no less driving. This is a full on analogue monster. A melodic synth line backed by straight up 909 drums work this track into a frenzy with complete ease. With the mere opening of filters and simplistic use of the revered drum machine Mark has built a track that will whip any dance floor up.

A firm favourite at Soma, Mark always delivers the good and with this EP of machine fuelled techno he looks to set Techno alight with his unique and quirky production.

Mark Henning - Blackout (Soma 384)

Label Boss is feeding his creature as usual to grow the Techno machine and catching the right vibe to amaze always the listener thanks also to the great range of producers landed on Analytic Trail. This time Markantonio is proud to introduce DJ Emerson, a DJ/Producer from Germany’s scene and CLR Crew that features a lot of productions released on labels like the same CLR, Brood Audio, Electric Deluxe and many others. He’s now landed on Analytic Trail with “Audiopot”, an original track remixed by Flug that doesn’t need introductions due his previous work “Drummer” released on the same Analytic Trail and remixed by Markantonio himself.
Original mix is a straight Techno track, made by industrial old school sound elements and rolling background synth stabs, the listener can drag a dark mood in the middle of the track catching the dub vibe of the drum tricks takin’ over.
Flug remixes “Audiopot” making a wilder version, dark bass sounds and atomic synth stabs are the engine of track, carrying on the listener in an hypnotic Techno dance trip.
Nice job from Germany to Italy, via Spain that’s the power Analytic Trail expansion in the Techno boundaries and not only, thanks also to contribution of the loads of producers always making an amazing work for the label environment.

DJ Emerson - Audiopot Flug Remix - ANT057

<p>Ian returns to Tronic with his unmistakeable, melody-laden sound and kicks off this threefold affair with the mystical vibe of &#8220;Black Widow&#8221;. Beefy riffs take center stage and intricate synth programming elevates things to manic proportions while a chugging rhythm section combines with snappy bass to keep the groove going. On &#8220;Millennia&#8221; we are offered a more introspective approach, utilizing pulsating bass and nostalgic chords, with the emotion factor emphasized even more via bittersweet arpeggios and pads.<br />
 On the more optimistic &#8220;Lotus&#8221;, busy snares work their way around the subtle bassline and a firm nod to the Housier side of things is given, evident by familiar strings, filtered goodness and bouncy percussion.</p>

Out now on vinyl & digital release - https://lnk.to/REKIDS126

Rekids regular Markus Suckut drops his third album entitled ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’ this September. 

"This album is dedicated to my mother - I will always carry you with me to show you the world. See you again in a better place.”

When not helming his own imprints, SCKT and Pattern Research, the Düsseldorf artist has been releasing on Rekids since 2015 and is now a core member of the label’s family. Earlier this year saw the arrival of ‘New Life EP’, a mesmerising release exemplary of the producer’s knack for making imaginative house and techno complete with a compelling groove. No stranger to the long player format having released two albums previously, Markus Suckut returns to Radio Slave’s label with a quality eleven track album. 

From the word go Suckut’s album demonstrates his versatility as a musician, initiating with a beatless intro named ‘Escape’, before ‘Breeze’ comes into play with its skipping percussion and loopy atmospherics. Crunchy snares and crystalline synths make up ‘Sun’s Out’ whilst ‘Future Is Not Always Bright’ drives forward with its sultry low-end, ethereal pads and sci-fi bleeps, leading into ‘Take A Break’ and its medley of elaborate drums, living up to its name. 

‘Above The Clouds’ is comprised of intricate notes and soothing chords whilst the machinelike ‘Orchid’ features electro inspired melodies, contrasting to the album’s title track, ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’, with its bumpy bass and warping textures. ‘Wonderland (Version)’ is a ghostly acid cut, moving into the syncopated and ominous ‘We Will All Disappear One Day’ and its purring bassline until a moody two-step number entitled ‘Death Is Not Final’ ties it all together with twisted sequences and trippy effects.

Markus Suckut -  Sun's Out

For her Power Plant imprint's first release in the past 17 months, Swedish DJ-producer La Fleur starts off 2019 with her outstanding 'Aphelion' EP - a two-track release filled with conviction and spirit.

Ahead of its release, La Fleur has handed the EP's title-track over to Mixmag for a premiere. Explaining the thought process behind her latest creation, she tells us: “Aphelion is the point in the orbit when the planet is the farthest from the sun, so I wanted to give this an otherworldly vibe with the chords and the melody loop.”

Aphelion EP drops on March 15 via Power Plant.
