After kicking off our Box Of Toys series last week we’re pleased to say we’re back tonight with EP #14, and we’ve invited the man @scottricard down for this one! Joining Scott are 2 remixers who have each added their own spin on these originals to deliver a 5 track EP with a diverse sound!🍣

We’ve been pals with Scott for quite some time now, speaking frequently and watching him grow overtime which has been amazing to witness, when we both decided it was finally the right time to give the people what they want and get something huge out there🙌

Starting with A1, ‘Watcha Do’ consists of moody synths, sharp hats and a seductive vocal that’ll carry you through the night, whereas B1 delivers a much deeper groove with a driving bassline and tight percussion combined with a unique sample to really kick the party off 🌃 
For C1 we have ‘Tasty’ which is exactly what it says on the tin! More creative use of samples from Scott on this one with some elegant pads and skippy hats to keep the groove going👅

Up first on remix duties we have Nottingham based DJs/producers @ld2music with their remix of ‘Watcha Do’, adding a slightly darker bounce to this EP with their use of lunar-esque synths and atmospheric pads🛸
Last up we welcome back @1906sounds for his remix of ‘Intentions’, who’s returning just after his very own EP release with us last month! 1906 (UK) is back with his signature percussion we’ve grown to know and love, merged with a range of FX and the many other musical elements that round off this EP perfectly👌

A big new release is coming out in Stereo Productions by the hand of the acclaimed Danish DJ and producer Christian Nielsen called On My Mind EP, that contains six tremendous cuts. 

Starting with the original ‘On My Mind’ groovy & frantic Tech House vocal where Chus & Ceballos leaves their own imprint with their remix. 

‘I don’t beg’ is the second original track and an incredibly deep and sensitive vocal masterpiece with the remix duties by the german Mathias Kaden who delivers two different remixes,

Christian Nielsen - On My Mind (Original Mix)

In a basement music-making studio in the south of England sit a bunch of machines. A Moog System 15, a Juno 106, classic Roland TR-808, TB-303 and TR-909s, an Emu SP1200, a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Akai MPC, a Mini-Moog… these machines have been some of the foundation hardware for electronic music over the years.

But these machines can’t make music by themselves. Despite all the hype about artificial intelligence (AI) and robots, these machines need somebody to collaborate with — a human — to draw out their soul and funk.

We’ve been fascinated by machine music since the second half of the 20th century, and electronic music has been powered by the ever-developing automation of new technology. “I’ve collected these machines for a long time now, and each one has a story,” says uber-producer Steve Mac, owner of all these machines. “Every time I buy a new one, the rule is that I have to make a track with it.”

The variety of people who drop by to play on these machines are what make the music coming out of this studio so diverse. Whether it’s house music legends like Marshall Jefferson or Danny Rampling swinging by, or cult Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh laying down some vocals on a German/Scottish kosmische disco ditty; a session with dubwise breakbeat rave act Genaside II to making a track with unknown guitar n’ bass whizkid Scott Booth; from working with young house hotshots Cousn from Bristol to some songs with a Brazilian band Steve met in the pub — these machines need humans to collaborate with. They can’t do it themselves.

The above-mentioned Brazilian band member Rafael Berrio provided the impetus for ‘Martina’, a Balearic Brazilian love story that’s the first single from Steve’s new project. It’s backed by a melodic breakbeat piece that also utilises those Brazilian vibes. “I want to make music from the heart,” says Steve. “It’s the interaction of people and machines that I’m really fascinated with.”

Each of these machines is a feat of engineering. Machines like these have created countless classic electronic music cuts, and lately Steve has been adding to that cannon — with a slew of tracks ready to go. The electricity is on. The motor is running. Are you ready for the sound of These Machines?
