As you may have guessed by our extensive coverage over the past few years, we're quite the fans of multi-monikered electronica maestro Dylan Richards here at Data Transmission. Releasing music under a slew of different aliases that include King Cannibal for Ninja Tune and Zilla whilst on Warp, the man also known as House Of Black Lanterns never fails to impress.

Thus you can imagine our excitement at news that Richards had a new album ready for release, earlier in the month without fuss or fanfare as a self released effort titled 'You Were Telling Me Of Mountains'.

Consisting of two continuous parts containing eleven movements in total, the album was written between summer 2013 and summer 2015, and draws both musically and thematically from the artist’s frustrations of being a recording artist today.

Having first described House of Black Lanterns as about “about suspense, space and depth” and more restrained than anything he had worked on before with a “threat of violence” buried deep within his "music’s texture rather than worn outwardly on it’s sleeve," what avenue he’d lead us down for his edition of the DT podcast was anybody’s guess. Whilst we won’t spoil the surprise (it’s up to you whether or not you want to have a gander at the tracklist) we will tell you it has certainly lived up to our lofty expectations.

Bump It

Regional club music, as a rule, doesn't often permeate the mainstream. Baltimore in particular is a city chock full of talent that rarely graces radio airwaves aside from its own 92Q. Lately, the city's’ signature kicks, claps, and breaks have been shining all the way into mainstream - thanks, in part, to its newly crowned club queen, TT the Artist. TT has been a mainstay in the Space is the Place stable ever since our second release in 2014 with Normaling’s “Low Drop feat. Rye Rye & TT The Artist”.

Now, after touring Europe, releasing her first vinyl record and collaborating with the likes of Herve, Switch, Sam Binga & Branko, the queen herself has partnered with Space is the Place Records to bring you Art Royalty Abstract, a collection of remixes of TT’s Art Royalty.

Why remix tracks that are already club friendly, you ask? Well, every producer worth their weight in percussion samples has been bugging us for the opportunity to play with TT’s fiery vocals. So we tapped some of our favorites amongst them to create a unique collection of remixes flavored with some uncharacteristic techno and house beats here and there to offer you a brand new take on every one of the Art Royalty tracks. From LA’s Ana Sia to Chicago’s Jeremiah Meece to Paris’ Big Dope P to Belgium’s Jabo London’s Alfie Casanova, and SPLACE bosses Normaling and Astrolith, Abstract offers a global interpretation of Baltimore’s reigning Club Queen.

Space is the Place is proud to present this collection of bumps, grinds, kicks, claps and fierce lyrical fire from TT the Artist and our squad of talented producers.

Metro Tech (Rec & Texture Mix pt3, recorded for Polaarized)

The club-centric 130 BPM is next in the queue to get clobbered by the Sec crew, as they test the limits of what said tempo can handle through their compilation concept. Normaling shatters the norm with their high-grade offering, a menacing mixture of Baltimore-brewed beats and UK bassline business. Booms and baps are chopped up and served piping hot over mercurial drums and street-toughened textures.
