After the traditional dance music label summer break, Superfreq returns with a release that will truly make this an Indian Summer to remember, which comes from the long defunct but enduringly admired partnership in the form of House Of 909. The brainchild of Affie Yusuf, House Of 909 started out as a house label in the mid 90s after which Affie teamed up with Trevor Loveys to form a music partnership of the same name. The pair have not released music since 2004 but before that time were home on labels Expanded Soul & Alola with the bulk of their music, including the seminal album The Children We Were being released on the iconic tech house label Pagen Records. Back to 2013 & Superfreq bosses Mr.C & David Scuba have managed to scoop up this fantastic new single Chant & have delivered their own unique interpretations in the process.First up is the original raw mix of Chant. Its a woozy & lo slung deep tech house number with tribal-esque percussion & soothing vocal chants that imbue the whole thing with African spirit. Lively synths squirm about at various intervals as this uplifting track locks dancefloors into one deep groove & keeps them there for the duration.The House Of 909s cooked mix strips the original back a little, adding subtle synth sounds, a little extra propulsion to the beats & generally freewheels & unhinges itself that little bit more as things progress with a more finely polished production angle.Mr.C then takes his interpretation from Chicago as he delivers a taught jacking bassline over 808 drums, adding old school type melodies, yet keeping the uplifting & hypnotic nature of the original intact, to come up with this disco tinged rework as the rigid groove continues unhindered below.Finally, its the ever more impressive David Scuba who turns in the final remix. He strips out some of the percussion and lays down a deep and wavy bassline that sways and swaggers with real charisma. The originals vocals become smeared with stretched echoes and bring a sense of eeriness to the track without ever losing a keen sense of rhythm.This is another fine bit of A&Ring from Superfreq and one that reminds us just how great the House of 909 project really was. As ever, with the Superfreq family supplying the remixes makes this another essential EP from the Superfreq stable.

"It was my pleasure to remix Dave Angel's recent single "Homage", a track that he devoted to his Detroit influences. I took the main elements of the original track and built a new groove behind them and gave it my touch. Musical yet powerful. Hope you like it :)" - Christian Smith

Dave Angel - Homage (Christian Smith Hypno Remix)

Almost a year after the release of Peter Van Hoesen’s highly acclaimed album 'Perceiver' on his Time to Express imprint, the Belgian producer returns with ‘Life Performance' - a brand new live recording which was captured into a single, long- form listening experience during a specially curated Time to Express label night at Tresor on July 19, 2013.

Coming in October on Berlin's techno institute and record label, Tresor, this new live album represents an important step forward for the producer. Since 2006, Peter has played live in a variety of different settings and situations, from festival circuits and dark, sweaty venues to working with dance and theater companies on stage. Each live performance brought with it a necessary evolution in approach, which led to a varying sense of real ‘live’ interaction. At first, with a setup centered around a laptop, a drum machine was added, then slowly more and more machines entered into proceedings. 

Ultimately though, it was the computer that was to hold central guard in the coordination of each disparate sonic element.

Now, the laptop is being pushed aside, making way for the hardware to be brought fully to the fore, allowing for greater artistic freedom and expression. The focus is to be placed upon live improvisation in the creation of something wholly unique and ever-evolving. Sculpting this sound in real-time, allowing for the exploration of a multitude of possibilities and contorting parameters, in essence, a child-like approach to the idea of ‘playing’, of not being limited by the world around, is what drove this project forward. As Peter explains,

“Making the tracks with the setup in mind as opposed to transposing tracks made in the studio into a live setting is much easier, and much more fun. You can improvise with it freely - and for me that [improvisation] was most important - then decide, in that specific moment, about its tonality and its synthesis. I’m a big fan of synthesis. I don’t work with samples often. If you use samples, there’s no way to really sculpt them - not just from a technical perspective, but also from an artist viewpoint. There’s a freshness and directness you get from being able to interact with the music and audience on a much deeper level than normal.”

Over the course of sixty minutes, the listener is exposed to a broad palette of sounds and patterns. Textural shifts, gentle rhythmic blends, dynamic synths, hooks and arpeggios coagulate into an exceptional aural experience, exemplifying an approach to music production in a live context that is both personal and unique.

Right, let's play a game. We're going to say a few words and we want you to respond with the first thing that comes to you head: Mob Action. Goodfellas right? Well, we also had a few people blurt out "The Godfather!" and one smart-ass say 'democracy' but the vast majority of people we've asked thought of Henry Hill and co. in Martin Scorsese's 1990 classic.

Well, after hearing today's Debut Transmission, you may well say techno if asked that question again as rising stars and all round 'good fellas' Onno and Per Hammar join forces for a new EP titled 'Mob Action' for Sante's much esteemed Avotre imprint.

Serving up two fresh, contrasting slices of tech house sure to pick up plenty of play this winter, it's revered Italian producer Luca Agnelli's remix of the EP's title track that has set pulses racing here at DT, transforming the original into a peak time roller sure to get even the lethargic of of dance floors moving.

Set to arrive November 13th, get yourself acquainted with Luca's all action rework now.

Jonas Kopp first impressed the DJ-league and techno fans worldwide in 2007 with his incredible release on Spectral 43. In the meantime he released more amazing records on labels such as Weave, Vinyl Club and CMYK Musik. If we would have to describe his debut release on Curle - going stronger than ever these days with contributions from Thomas Brinkmann, Efdemin, Soulphiction, Anthony Collins and Martyn - we could say it sounds like Brothers' Vibe meets Radio Slave, at Berghain. Sounds tempting, isn't it? www.curle.be

There are few things we admire more than a self-made man or woman here at Data Transmission. Therefore when we came across the tech-house stylings of fast rising Mallorca producer, Danniel Selfmade, it didn't take us long to become the most ardent of fans.

Having enjoyed a breakout 2015 that saw him touch work his magic as far afield as Tokyo and deliver standout performances in London and Berlin, his nuanced take on techno has seen him garner attention from the likes of Richie Hawtin and Marco Carola, who have similarly tipped him for the big time.

Maintaining his momentum through into the new year, Danniel follows up his dance floor destroying exploits for Deeperfect Records, Beat It Music and Tres 14 with the two track 'Actually No' EP for Miami based label Goldentears Records. Showcasing the title track as our latest Debut Transmission, we just can't get enough of this little number's murky bass line and tribal drum patterns.

A firm statement of intent from the artist and the label, expect to hear plenty from both in the coming months.

1. Density
2. Sunwaves
3. Whisper
4. Whisper (Nick Curly Remix)

The dynamic Berlin duo, better known as The Reason Y, return to Second State with a brand new EP entitled 'Density'. After last years debut, the duo have been working tirelessly to deliver a massive three tracker and they have managed to do just that as well as locking in heavy hitter Nick Curly for a stellar remix to guarantee a monumental record. Opening things up is the title track 'Density' and it certainly delivers the trademark TRY sound with crisp, racing hi-hats and low rumbling bass. As signals of bold sirens resonate through fields of sonic indulgence, the duo commandeer a journey into cosmic spaces. Followed by 'Sunwaves' which is the duo's ballad to the Romanian festival they first played last summer. Laced with grooving low end and sun drenched atmospherics, 'Sunwaves' is the aural illustration of exactly what you would expect from one of the world's finest festivals where the water meets the dance floor on an exotic Romanian beach. On the flip side, the duo take a step back and drop the heady down-tempo number 'Whisper' where percussive grooves fill the blank silent palette as washes of mischievous pads create the feeling of being lost deep in the jungle while a whispering voice guides the listener towards some vacant hope of finding a native estate. To wrap things up, we turn to the one and only Nick Curly for his twist on ‘Whisper’, and in true Curly fashion he delivers a bomb. Swirling tones are draped over an infectiously loopy groove as surges of white noise grow, constantly taking the levels of energy to new heights while the original vocal is brought to the front to ensure a trippy trek into the grandiose areas of late nights.

La Fleur - Fish truck is taken from La Fleur - Exhaust EP on Truesoul Records.

Release date 8th of January 2018.

"Deepening its connection with its Swedish roots, Truesoul is excited to welcome La Fleur to the collective. 

The Berlin-based, Stockholm-born DJ/producer has emerged as one of the most exciting in house and techno circles in recent years. A resident of Watergate, label boss of the quality Power Plant imprint and new addition to Labyrinth parties in Ibiza, this EP follows La Fleur’s amazing 90-minute set at the Pacha party this season alongside Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg. 

Her strong two-track contribution to the Truesoul catalogue begins with ‘Fish Truck’, a brilliant multi-layered concoction of shuffling beats, heavy bass and a woozy synth line with a subtle nod to Chicago. A rare track that is simultaneously thought-provoking due to its complexity, yet powerful and harmonious in its execution to be a peak-time weapon. ‘Exhaust’ changes up the energy and mood deliciously, as layers of lush pads fill the soundscape and combine with a vocal from an Eckhart Tolle video where a woman asks him why we are so affected by music. With a backbone of funk-laden techno beats, it’s at once beautiful yet melancholic. "
