Rising through Edinburgh’s underground to become one of Scotland’s most exciting talents, Kieran Apter’s light is burning bright. Since founding esteemed club night Tweak_ in 2015, where he would warm up for artists like Mano Le Tough, Seth Troxler, Moodymann, San Proper, Fort Romeau and Dorisburg, he has since elevated his profile as both a DJ and producer, releasing on key imprints like Stereo MC’s Connected and Braunbeck’s Sol Eterno while demonstrating an impeccable knowledge of house music with carefully curated DJ sets across landmark European venues such as Wire Club Leeds and Sisyphos Berlin, whilst also holding down a monthly open-to-close residency at Cabaret Voltaire.

Raised in a musical household, with his father playing in various bands, Kieran’s early musical explorations ranged from rock to samba, while developing a love for hip hop in his early teenage years. From a young age, Kieran would make the journey from his rural hometown of West Calder to Edinburgh, indulging himself in all the city had to offer, heading to raves and falling in love with dance music while still in school. Moving to the city when he was 18, he soon became a face on Edinburgh’s underground scene, with his real breakthrough moment coming in the form of his “Sophomore” EP, which was released on Chapter 24 Records in September 2017. The “All I Want” EP featured two original tracks by Kieran, including a collaboration with vocalist Leon Power which was remixed by Innervisions artists Aera and Manuel Tur. These tracks found their way into the sets of Dixon, Rampa, &ME and Andhim and were aired by both Pete Tong and B.Traits on their BBC Radio 1 shows.

With his productions hailed by DJ Mag as “warm, cosmic and deeply emotional,” and Mixmag deeming it “so sweet it’s hard to look beyond it,” Kieran’s ability to seamlessly flit between genres while offering profound and thoughtful components that bring a rawness to each track makes his records as suited to the dance floor as solo listening. Consistently receiving DJ support from the likes of &ME, Theo Kottis and Konstantin Sibbold have meant his records soundtrack dancefloors at clubs like Panorama Bar and DC-10, with a number of tracks in the works for 2022.

With a growing catalogue of enchanting dance floor gems, Kieran’s artistic output continues to grow. With high-profile gigs and an acclaimed Boiler Room for FLY Club at Cabaret Voltaire all under his belt, Kieran has now started an independent record label showcasing his work and the work of various friends and artists who share the same love for quality underground dance music: CB90 Dance Recordings is a passion-driven project, inspired by youth culture and a deep-rooted heritage of dance music in Scotland.

Andrés Téllez is Delone, composer, producer, and designer of sound for film and TV. He founded Riverette Records in 2014 releasing artists like Legowelt, Oskar Offermann, Minor Science, Kornel Kovacs, Jacques Renault, Tiger & Woods, HAAi and Piona. His own music went out Man Power’s ME ME ME, Turbocapitalism, Rotten City under the pseudonym Dos Attack. In 2017 Riverette opened a record store in the center of Madrid, becoming a benchmark space in the capital. In 2021 he put out his first album as Delone.
 
His new album ‘Romanticismo Siempre’ is out on Madrid based label Lovemonk and is a passionate journey through romanticism, electronica, ambient and psychedelia. Recorded for the most part on analog synths, the album travels through territories that border on the experimental and the dance floor, entering at times in both fields. Rich and varied analog experimentation, touching on many of the subcultures that have shaped what was once simply called ‘electronic music.’ Flashes of trip hop, new age romanticism and proto electronics are amalgamated throughout, with hints of mutant house, breakbeat, IDM, a touch of trance and other genres peripheral to the club.
 
Throughout the eleven cuts on this long player a story materializes through Delone’s very personal sound, telling the tale via his exquisite arrangements and rich expressiveness. It could be described as a polyhedral affair that changes with every listen and every playback. It is complex, delicate, and full of nuances, at the same time charged with a powerful and primitive energy.

PREMIERE : Delone - Ineus Mira Las Estrellas

The praised “Acid Avengers” series of the Brittany-based label Tripalium Corp reaches its thirtieth edition. A massive landmark, we would say. For the occasion, the French powerhouse welcomes none other than three beloved duos: Starting with the one & only Italian superstars Hard Ton (SXDNS176) in collaboration with brilliant Latvian everybody’s darling Queer On Acid, and British second-to-none Posthuman. The gang came up with a stunning four-track vinyl – plus a digital bonus – “mixing vicious Techno, hypnotic 303 lines, Acid House gimmicks, and psychedelic vocals.” As you might have imagined, the beasts here are intended for exclusive dance-floor use. Living room administration may trigger unexpected reactions from your neighbours: They will either call the police or join you for a little indoor (never-killed-nobody) bender, depending on the kind of people who surround your dwelling.

Premiered here, “B_Ass” is one of the most dangerous cuts of the soiree because of its, yeah, “motherf*cking bass”, as mentioned in the minimalistic but imposing lyrics delivered by Hard Ton’s Max vital entrance. It’s truly remarkable how he always manages to offer spot-on vocals for the duet’s productions. Psychedelic synth layers and a sharp acid line complete the theme, one of the highlights of the EP.

“Voodooridoo” is the debut EP of the collab between Radial Gaze and Pyrame. The result of what had to happen when the two friends finally met in person earlier this year.

Indeed, over a 2 months period, the two electronic musicians quickly hit the ground and regularly caught up at Thisbe Recordings´ HQ in Berlin-Mitte where ideas kept flowing and got recorded. They blent each other´s recipes to produce unpreceded music for both of them. Pyrame´s brain-sticking melodies and basslines as well as odd organic instrumentation found in his studio meet Radial Gaze´s punchy riffs on acid, signature tribal percussions, and brain-washing arpeggiated patterns.

Out of this time in the studio emerged three original tracks. First, “Outrageous” because this is how well the two got on with each other from the first day onwards. “Voodooridoo” came next and was so packed with ideas that the two fellows had to slim down their production at that time. Such a creative process was calling for a third tune, and that one morning when Pyrame came into the studio and shouted “Boa Boa” while Radial Gaze was already working on another acid trippy pattern paved the way for their third track. Their collaborative work and enthusiasm did the rest and their first collab EP was wrapped up.

Orchid joins the EP by remixing the title track into an uptempo rework of the original.

TRONIK YOUTH - WRONG SYSTEM (NICO RAIBAK REMIX)

Etienne de Crécy should need no introduction and his whip smart version of Birdcage, shows just why, taut French house at its finest! https://soundcloud.com/etienne-de-crecy https://soundcloud.com/you_man

First released back in 2013, You Man's debut EP Restless -and its lead track Birdcage- launched the career of French duo Tepat Huleux and Giac Di Falco, kickstarting a decade of stunning live shows played all around the globe and acclaimed releases and remixes on labels such as as Tronik Youth’s NEIN, Boston Bun’s Circa’99 and Eskimo Recordings. Now, to celebrate their first ten years in the game Huleux and Di Falco have revisited their debut EP, and this time they've brought along some of the many friends they've made over the past decade.

With its chugging 109 bpm beat and a melody that switches from throbbing minimalism to something tantalisingly close to a full-on Ibiza sunrise moment, the EP's lead track Birdcage has never strayed too far from discerning DJs record bags but across several new versions here we get to see it reinterpreted in thrilling new ways.

Pre order at Juno - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/simple-symmetry-sorry-we-did-something-different-feat-vinyl/990938-01/

Simple Symmetry are back on Calypso for a second offering but this time around it's in a different format. They've enlisted remixes of tracks from their Sorry We Did Something Wrong album which first landed back in 2021 as a self-released project, which won over many fans with a sound that went way beyond the club and now gets repurposed for the dancefloor with extended and club versions. The Horsemen Of Housing & Commercial Services rework of 'Che Che' is a dark disco classic, Smaghhe & Cross rework 'Rounded With A Sleep' into something taught and trippy and INigo Vontier layers in plenty of darkness, grit and grime to his take on 'I Must Not Fear'.

PREORDER

PREMIERE: Simple Symmetry - Che Che (Extended Version) [Calypso]

The thoughts floated in and out, images danced atop an empty screen as the voices echoed and cried with great whimsy and wonder. These were the moments of wild dreams, a place in which the most careless and most reckless fantasies roamed as the limits and shackles of society were removed.

Anything might exist up here for anything could.

Wandering from room to room of the empty house, there were strange visions and moments to be found within each. Some were haunting whilst others were wildly euphoric like the stuff of a delicate fantasy.

Who knew which door might lead where and what lay behind each?

La Serpiente remixed by Elena Colombi. Now this is a combination we can get behind, this one sounds like something out of a sophisticated art noire film, a horror of sorts with wandering melodies and echoes atop a stomping repetitive kick.
