Final single lifted from their eagerly awaited debut long-player due for release via Stil vor Talent on July 14, Esther Silex and Heiko Tubbesing's latest instalment 'Ameca' is the very epitome of Almost Falling's signature sound. Commixing up-to-date societal awareness with an unflinching club-focussed grammar, Esther and Heiko invite their listener to take a pause and think things through, using the dancer's body as a prism of communication as much as their lyrics play a key role in transporting that "free-spirited up-bringing right into your living room" they've come to champion.
Cold-as-truth spoken word, fragmented pop motifs and cold wavey riffs merge organically on Almost Falling's lead-single 'Ameca', an ode to the duo's capacity at digesting its time and era through hybrid compositions, never quite picking a side between functionality and pensiveness. Minimal in essence yet making optimal use of the Prophet 12's transportive qualities, or the Moog Sub 37's versatility (all processed through Ableton), the tracks here presented exhibit Esther and Heiko's sense of spatialisation and songwriting in intoxicating fashion.
A contrasting tale of digital / IRL ambiguity, 'Rain' has us dipping toes in cinematic grounds thanks to its haunting strings, whilst incisive trap patterns and a wailing bass chops it all up post-modern style. Perhaps the roughest, most in-your-face track off the package, 'Roots' draws back to the duo's trip-hop-informed origins. Unfolding the mantra of not letting your roots hold you down, Almost Falling encourages us to learn how to move with the flow and reinvent ourselves, without cutting off the mooring lines that hold our past, present and future together. 'Ameca' is an oath of truth.

Two years on since his latest incursion on Stil vor Talent with 'The Pictures', Switzerland-based producer Kellerkind turns in his newest four-tracker, 'Forest Mystery'. Delving in his natural inclination towards mystique-imbued tribal sounds, this new effort packs a serious Afro-futuristic kind of punch, laced with a powerhouse hi-tech feel bound to cut a path of devastation across the dance floors. Fully designed and kitted out to meet the requirements of extensive DJ use, this new package lets its whirlwind of polyrhythmic boogie and cosmic groove do the talk as Kellerkind ushers us in a blazing furnace of sorts.
Where the title-track 'Forest Mystery' flexes a bouncy swagger flush with middle-eastern tropes - including some fiery darbukkah solos, and nicely complemented by classic piano house stabs, flamenco-informed clapping and a hi-intensity buildup to rev it all with irresistible club impact, 'Karinda' treats us to a further hypnotic sequence of stripped-back East Coast grooviness and dubbed-out sensuality, bridging the gap between loungey house and proper ritualistic music thanks to spellbinding shaman-like vocal samples out the foggiest jungle.
On 'Mantra', a more aggro, industrial-flavoured verve echoes far and wide, ready to take on any sound system with both that typically intoxicating vox hoodoo wrapping itself around a thunderous techno backbone. Giving us a taste of eternity on the nostalgic closer 'Time', Kellerkind pulls out a massively emotional firework of Prophet-6-powered space dementia and intricate drum programming, laced with an unstoppable bass-driven landslide devouring everything in its wake, making clear 'Forest Mystery' dwells in the club and nowhere else. Set your woofers to 11 and blast away.

Detrusch - Painted World Radio #011

Earlier this year Sean and Amber aka Kakura made their Manual Music debut by releasing the well received single 'Witcher' / 'Vermillion' and now they are back with another excellent double A-sider.

'Dakha' is the opening track, a tribal infused intense melodic track with a clear warehouse / modern day rave vibe. 'Kalimba' continues on the same path, full of tribal rhythms and roaring synths. These guys truly have a unique timeless sound which isn't easy to pigeonhole.

First up on remix duties it's Lex Ludlow known for her output on Atomnation and her own BØXBØX imprint. She's the perfect addition to this single because she's also wary of trends and clichés. Her interpretation of Dakha is just pure deep underground electronic music as it should be.

The release ends on a positive note with Amir Telem's uplifting remix. Created around a warm synth theme, this melodic tension builder gets you right in the mood for an Indian summer.

Clocking in on Stil vor Talent with their much anticipated next delivery, 'Aurora', beloved German duo pølaroit graces us with two new cuts running the gamut from washed-out nostalgia to straight emotional mountaineering with absolute class through and through. Equipped with their trustworthy bunch of hardware companions, including the infamous Prophet 6 that was the starting point to 'Always Craving', Jonas and Marius have us climbing steep passes and exhilarating melodic apexes effortlessly. Full of that "deep, mystical energy" that sums up their sound to a tee, both joints are the perfect liaison between soul-fulfilling introspectiveness and that untamed pulsion to seek upper layers and hard-to-reach layers of analogue-built sophistication.

One debut follows another: Next up on Stil vor Talent Zoo Brazil and Anthony Middleton's “Good Times" combines the result of a longstanding friendship and their first incursion on the label while delivering a true dancefloor anthem.

Anthony Middleton kickstarted his career DJing in iconic Marbella clubs and refining production skills at a pioneering UK music technology school in the mid-90s. His musical journey led him to the vibrant dance music scene in London. Meanwhile, Zoo Brazil, also known as John Andersson, earned Grammy and Brit Awards nominations, solidifying his reputation as an innovative and respected figure in dance music.
Guided by a shared affinity for analogue exploration, the duo employed an arsenal of vintage and modern gear, including the Vintage ARP 2600, Moog Model D, SSL AWS 900+se Console, and more. The resulting composition, “Good Times,” has seamlessly woven haunting melancholy into an irresistibly groovy symphony.
As a testament to its prowess, the track has been a closely guarded secret weapon in the DJ sets of both Zoo Brazil and Anthony for over a year. The mindset behind its creation was one of spontaneity, a deliberate choice to let creativity flow unhindered. “Good Times” stands as an authentic reflection of their musical synergy, inviting listeners into a realm where friendship and innovation harmoniously converge.
