Los Angeles imprint Machine Limited reveals its first VA EP to open 2019, featuring material from the likes of SONNS, Dave Aju, Tiago, Split Secs and more.

As two of Los Angeles’ most notable talents, SONNS, aka Alexandre Mourcade, and TK, aka Travis Kirschbaum, have become central to the cities ever-expanding electronic music scene over recent years, with their Split Secs guise finding favour amongst a host of names ranging from DJ Hell to John Talabot. Founded in 2013 as a creative outlet for both SONNS and Split Secs material, their Machine Limited imprint has since gone on to release material from the likes of Tuff City Kids and Kasper Bjorke whilst picking up notable support from artists including Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey and Daniel Avery in the process. Following on from their latest release from THE KDMS, the label now kicks off 2019 with their first various artists offering made up of material from LA’s best known and rising talents.

The expansive seven track package is opened through Live For Each Moon’s ‘Pressure Dub’ as off kilter 303 lines float amongst crunchy percussion shots, before the combination of TK and Tavish (ESP Institute) together as Warehouse Preservation Society reveals a hypnotic cut in ‘Multitude Of Sin’. SONNS’ ‘Easy Love’ employs an effortless balance of serene melodies and hazy atmospherics to switch up the aesthetic, whilst J Disco and Chris Coloma aka Silk Road Fantasy utilises resonant synths and slick drum licks throughout ‘Zombies’.

Next, Tiago’s remix of Second Language ‘Nothing So Far’ pairs resounding kicks, eerie vocals and bright lead lines to great effect, SONNS and Dave Aju’s ‘Fluid’ works groove-heavy percussion patterns and bumping low ends, before label founders Split Secs close proceedings via the infectious ‘Off The Ground’, rounding out an impressive debut VA offering from the West Coast imprint.

Woolfy - 17 (Split Secs remix) - Future Classic

Recorded live @ MACHINE from 5-6am in Downtown LA

Split Secs (T.K.) Live @ Machine 4.26.2014

“React” is Split Secs’ first record of 2015 and the year’s first release from the LA duo’s Machine Limited imprint. Composed of Alexandre Mouracade a.k.a SONNS and Travis Kirschbaum (TK DISKO), Split Secs has put out material on labels such as Throne Of Blood, Kompakt, and Jolly Jams. They’ve also crafted remixes for Mark E's Merc label, BPitch Control, Remain, Waze & Odyssey, Future Classic, Pacific Horizons, Clouded Vision, On The Prowl.. etc.

“React” further confirms Split Secs’ capabilities in creating all things tough & funky. As usual, Alex and Travis walk a fine line towards the light, but veer dangerously and deliciously into thee dark. The original mix of “React” is deep house in the classic sense of the genre; a pulsing bassline, which Marshall Jefferson would be proud of, conspires with rolling drums, drifting atmospherics, a chant repeatedly intoning “react” and an ominous, but extremely sexy, spoken, Italian vocal courtesy of Alona — the sometime chanteuse for 40 Thieves, who carried out vocal duties on Machine Limited’s first release, “Slave,” also by Split Secs.

The package comes with three remixes, two by Indonesian producer Jonathan Kusuma, whose “Gong 3000” EP appeared on Cosmo Vitelli’s I’m A Cliché label in 2014, and the other by Hardway Bros, aka Sean Johnston, Weatherall’s co-pilot in A Love From Outer Space. Kusuma’s first mix is a driving house track with a definite late ‘80s warehouse feel that brings early Tommy Musto to mind. The bassline is chunky and surrounded by intricate and highly danceable drum patterns that wheel and swerve under the vocals. The track builds aggressively with haunting strings and syndrum hits. It’s perfect for peak time play. His second offering is a looser, deeper and more narcotic effort. It’s no less driving than his first mix, but strays into darker territory with an acid-tinged bassline, rolling toms, plenty of delay on the chant, stabs of electric keys and fantastic drum programming.

The Hardway Bros’ mix rounds out this release perfectly by toughening the original bass line even further, making the beat stomp hard and then throwing in some acid to create a swirling cauldron of phantasmagorical, phuturisic, phunk phantasticness. You’ve been given phair warning my phriends, “React” will garner what it asks for, a rousing reaction on the dance floors to which it is applied.

Split Secs - Off The Ground

SPLIT SECS MACHINE MIX

With great admiration and respect to the original composition from the late DJ Camacho, Los Angeles-based production partners Split Secs (Alex Mouracade and TK Disko of Jolly Jams fame) have crafted a wonderfully revamped cover to the underground Nu Groove hit single "Slave". Originally under the moniker Camacho's Project with vocals provided by Regina Wilson, Split Secs' updated versions are quite faithful to the original song but with an added production warmth and sonic pressure to each of their mixes.

The entire project is soon to be a clubland classic and a must have for DJ's and collectors alike. Split Secs called upon their dear and talented friend Alona to perform the vocals for their main mix, and did so with great success. Alona's delivery of the original's lyrics creates a smokey and sensual mixture to the music--complimenting the catchy keyboard melody that made the original version so recognizable and danceable in the first place.

Overall, a great first release and introduction to the new imprint Machine Limited.
