After its initial string of records, Spring Theory is back with its third release of the year: The record is Let Me Love & Steal, the latest EP from Avalon Emerson. In the past few months, Emerson has moved from San Francisco to Berlin and has taken in her new environment's vibrant club culture, and it shows. But this four-tracker is a far cry from the dark industrial clichés that typify foreign expectations of the German capital. Instead, her cuts here carry an undertone of playful sampling that balance out the sheer power and energetic intensity of her rhythmic drive — aka it's a full EP's worth of hard-hitting house music with even more of her idiosyncratic flair.
 
The A1 is the EP's namesake, "Let Me Love & Steal," and it's her heaviest cut to date, picking up with a similar sample-driven heft as her past two releases. Though it's tempting, don't try to spot the sample, instead just ease in and immerse yourself in the euphorically freaky collision of its razor-sharp hi-hats, laser beams, booming kick drums, and mind-warpingly ambiguous vocals. Slip the needle over to A2 and you'll find "Let Me Love & Steal (Triple Scorpio Mix)," a stripped down retooling of the original that rounds the vocal sample into a wash of contorting sonic colors that lets the percussion come forward and take center stage. Incorporating a little more techno propulsion, it transforms itself halfway through into a hard shot of energy, with swung snares and chunky stabs that crash through the mix. Both versions are energetic bombs designed for dancefloors in the throes of a sweaty and full-throttle towel-on-the-shoulders workout.
 
 Flip the record over and you get "Honest Gangster," a crunchy and jacking follow-up to "Quoi!" that features a surreal spoken word vocal delivery from Spring Theory label head Guillaume Galuz...though he didn't know it until after the track was made (as it turns out, voicemails can be great sample sources). His presence brings the track a degree of absurdity, but it's Avalon's thrashing bassline and spaced-out synthesizer arpeggios that drives the point home. Here too it's all about intensity, albeit with a softer and dreamier vibe that's good for cooling off a little when you still want to keep the energy high. Finally, switch to the B2 for "Honest Gangster (Arpapella)," which rips out the rhythm and samples and lets the arp float freely through a healthy amount of spaced-out and trippy delay. If you're looking for a break (or something to start or end your set with) it's exactly what you're looking for. Add it all up, and you have an extremely versatile dancefloor focused EP that's ready for prime time, no matter what time that is.

With its HQ in rural Germany - Rockets & Ponies is a coterie for the outsiders - those 'too strange for the normal business' with an ethos that fosters freedom of expression, experimentation and an avant-garde approach.

So who better to present a remix package of works by Jazz luminary Wolfgang Haffner that includes Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer, Nightmares on Wax, and label padrone Timo Maas.

'Prolific' doesn't quite cover Haffner's creative output. With a career that spans over 30 years beginning in the German and French Jazz Ensemble and moving on to collaborative works with the likes of Chaka Khan, Bill Evans and Roy Ayres Haffner has appeared on over 350 recordings.

The selected material within this package is taken from his latest album 'Heart Of The Matter' released through The ACT Company in 2013 - 'Bing' and 'Luna' are twisted, stretched and reformed by the eminently prestigious roster of remixers.

First in is Ricardo Villalobos - an exalted genius and champion of freedom of expression with previous releases on Perlon, Playhouse, Cadenza and Cocoon who pairs up with regular studio partner Max Loderbauer for a wonderfully elongated, no-holds-barred dissections of 'Bing'.

Loderbauer himself, as a master of audio design, injects experience assimilated from sharing his studio with Tobias Freund and together the pair opt for their regular method of developing tracks on modular machines using no overdubbing or multitrack mixing.

On the flip, who better to offer an alternative take on 'Luna' than Rockets & Ponies co-founder Timo Maas. Following up his 'Lifer' LP and his 'Tantra' and 'Articulation' EPs, Maas steps in with his brash and physical reworking of 'Luna' that he creatively re-images into a billowing beast.

In doing so he further substantiates his own left-field productions and indeed, Rockets & Ponies is an entirely unique and creative experiment capable of producing incredible results."

Finally, previous collaborator with Haffner himself, Nightmares on Wax steps in with a typically balmy, Rhodes-heavy revision of 'Luna'. The longest ever serving artist on Warp Records opts for signature dosages of Dub, Soul and Jazz that he's perfected and refined over his long and illustrious career.

 Its been just a few months ago, Rampa carved his last EP-notch into the Keinemusik-release-tally. But here he goes again, delivering his second KM-offering this year, an almost prophetically headlining track called "Newborn Soul".

This tune is virtually the score to the current situation of its creator. A lurking, tension building piece thats coping without a kickdrum for more than 50 %% of its running time, just to place it in floor-shaking boost in the exact perfect moment. A percussion and synth-flavoured build-up somewhere between tool-characteristics and stylish peaktime-emphasis, thats rising like phoenix from the ashes.

"Mascha" on the flip can be appreciated as a classical Rampa. Analogue sounding, washed out intro, irresistible tribal-grooves including analogue filter and delay-rides, percussive cushioning and folkloristic chants that will invoke nothing else but rowdy floor-ecstasy in this context.

From deep, to musical, to funky, to peaktime.&nbsp; I decided to do this compilation because Tronic has had a fantastic year, and I wanted to showcase a taste of what is to come in 2013. It is also very important for me to support new artists so I included about half the tracks from artists that you might not know yet, but will in the future. - Christian Smith  Please take a close listen to all the tracks and we hope you like them  We wish you all happy holidays, and a happy new year!
