Benjamin Fröhlich - Raging Spirits (Whitesquare Remix)

Reculture returns with its second installation of ‘A Touch of Culture’! Landing in 2 parts - the compilation reels in even more friends of the label showcasing the variety and depth of the narratives from the artists it closely keeps eyes on. Seven different tracks - seven different textures, emotions and soundscapes.

Hardt Antoine and label friends REj and Pattn showcase a deep and slow burning intergalactic dance of ‘Ecstasy’. Leading hard with its thumping bassline, flickers of retro-infused synths and a spiralling melody that crusade’s in passionate and melodramatic fashion.

Taking us along a wave of kinetic hi-hat-htting energy comes Sahar’s ‘The Last Chapter’. Playing dynamic in groove, it shakes, rattles and rolls along a supersonic landscape, laced with plenty of balearic-infused acid squelches and an uplifting vocal. Light in movement, it leans towards a minimally breezy vibe.

Kira Blush breathes plenty of life into the compilation with ‘Here 2 Help’. A tribal touch -  this is a rhythmic number which dances, pelts and bounces around in non-stop circular vibrancy, The melody, moving along in alto form is kept to higher contempt with the dazzling haloed synths which sashay up and down the scale in enticing pace.

Michael Mayer albums don’t come round too often, which is one of many reasons why his fourth collection, The Floor Is Lava, is a genuine event. It’s been eight years since his last one, the collaborative & released on !K7; its predecessors, Mantasy (2012) and Touch (2004), took their sweet time, too. It’s no real surprise, given the many hats Mayer wears – globetrotting DJ, revered remixer, inveterate collaborator, and boss of both Kompakt and Imara – that his solo productions are relatively sparing. But this also speaks to their quality: Mayer’s name on a record sleeve is a sign of quality, of music that’s both looking to the future and calling back to the past, that balances the imperatives of the dancefloor and the loungeroom, that’s as exploratory as it is functional.

On The Floor Is Lava, Mayer seems to be taking the temperature of both the music that surrounds him (past and present), and the ideas of the industry he works within. There’s that iconic album title, for a start. “The album’s mindset,” he says, reflecting on those four words together. For Mayer, it’s partly a critique of the way the industry boxes in both producer and listener, focuses them on genre, on market, on the next new thing: “Being a free minded spirit that transcends genres has become an uphill battle.” A battle worth fighting, though, and with The Floor Is Lava, the result is an album that’s varied, quixotic, idiosyncratic, charming, and deeply, addictively listenable.

Throughout, Mayer finds thrills in exploration and juxtaposition, allowing unexpected things to blossom and giving them their life, their platform, throwing the listener exciting curveballs: “It’s a DJ album by a DJ that’s easily bored.” Either easily bored, or endlessly curious, The Floor Is Lava is rich with ideas. It opens with “The Problem”, which looks back to look forward, embracing the rickety way early house productions threw samples together with gleeful abandon. Mayer mentions Pal Joey, and the scene around Rockers Hi-Fi and their Different Drummer imprint, as reference points, and you can hear that freewheeling spirit throughout.

That’s The Floor Is Lava: then and now, brainwaves and nerve structures, problems and solutions, genres on fire; the real, the unreal, and the surreal. An album for the easily bored and the endlessly curious. Mayer has the last word, telling us all you need to know about the album’s spirit: “Burning for the cause, being zealous, being addicted to the heat of the night, the exuberant powers of music.”

Sincopat is proud to present Amirali's latest EP, a vibrant homage to the 80's that effortlessly fuses retro influences with modern finesse. This release offers three standout originals, each brimming with character, and a sharp, forward-thinking remix from label stalwart Renato Cohen.

The EP opens with Nirvana Affair a track driven by bold pulsating square waves and a punchy rhythm section. The song hooks the listener instantly, as its intricate motifs blend seamlessly and each element falls into place with surgical precision. Renato Cohen's remix stays true to the essence of the original song, while taking it to a bold new dimension, transforming it into a lush sonic journey that continues to hit hard.

Next up is Arcane Caress an energetic track that thrives into dimensionality. Amirali's overlays sounds to create a dreamy, textural atmosphere. It's a delicate balance of complexity and clarity, showcasing an artist in full command of his craft.

The EP closes with Visionary Puff an introspective track that surprises with organic synthesizers and shimmering arpeggios. It's a fitting finale, encapsulating Amirali's evolving sonic palette while giving a nod to the experimental spirit of the 80s. This EP is not just a trip back in time, it's a fresh take on timeless sounds.
