Multiple plays by Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show over the last 5 weeks and in the Top 10 Beatport Deephouse Charts after 1 week.

Early feedback by Arthur Baker, The Magician, The Rapture, Huxley, Riva Starr, Anja Schneider, Bonde do Role, Oliver Koletzki, Tensnake, Digitalism, Karotte and many more.

"Claptone is a man of mystery. Of course there are countless anonymous DJs hiding behind everything from angry-face cardboard boxes to giant cassette tapes. But Claptone takes the enigma game to the next level—not only does he flit around in a gold, pointy bird mask straight out of G-Force: Guardians of Space, he also claims to embed an entire "universe of secrets" into his sounds. Not sure what that means... maybe spectogram images a la Aphex Twin? Also, in an interview from earlier last year, he said certifiably batshit stuff like, “Over the years I’ve learned to affect every being on earth and to synchronize the noises and sounds (they produce). With my magic wand I now bring to life a universal orchestra and direct the world’s unique soundtrack.” Which is… awesome?" (Vice Thump)

Actually, we think it’d be pretty chill if he took the reigns on the “the world’s unique soundtrack” and made it sound a little more like this velvety, floor-shaking, party-starting, spooky, hypnotic house track GHOST he delivered us on the back of a singing Alec Ounsworth from Indie Rock Band CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH.
More house magic included on track 2 UNITED. Feed the bird.

When you're talking about techno, few names have been innovating and evolving as much as Robert Hood. When he's not running things over at M-Plant, he can be found touring the festival circuit with his live show and releasing tonnes of fresh new material.

Today we concentrate on his more melodic alias and under the name Floorplan, Hood has released a stunning album showcasing a slightly different yet equally strong sound.

A new EP is set to drop featuring two re-edits of tracks that appeared on his Floorplan album 'Paradise'. 'Phobia' and 'Never Grow Old' have been given a special Re-Plant and we have the premiere of the latter.



Premiere: Floorplan 'Never Grow Old' (Re - Plant)

Plastikman - EXpand (Tale Of Us Remix)

Life and Death ® Catalogue Number: LAD021
Artist: Recondite
Title: Think Twice
Format: Digital / 12”
Release Date 20 April 2015

Tracklisting:
A: Think Twice
B: Serak

All tracks written and produced by Recondite.

Recondite - Think Twice EP
A long time friend of the label and an artist who needs no introduction, Recondite presents two unique techno narratives for his much anticipated first EP on Life and Death.

Up first and straight out the gate like the turning of the great Boethian wheel, Think Twice turns over and on top of itself again, like the march of time and the fortunes of paupers and princes alike. An ever advancing urgent reminder of the transitory nature of the eternal now, it graces us with her beauty and leaves us with a shaking sensation deep in our bones. 

On the B side, Serak begins with a bellowing bass emitted like a series of holotropic breaths from belly of Stanislav Grof himself. A sequence of sounds sent like a fishing line to the depths of the psyche, it returns with a portentous melody that winds and wanders until exploding midway thru the piece in a burst of restrained emotion.

Stephan Bodzin - Singularity

Like any good Techno producer, Moscow electronic producer Harry Light envelops his stage image by a veil of mystery, preferring to communicate with his audience exclusively through the music. It's more than enough in his case. Harry Light's music is artsy and ascetic. There's nothing superfluous and it sounds extremely good, the louder the better revealing it's great potential. Regarding Harry's stylistic range, it extends from well recognized German Techno and minimalistic Deep House to Dub and Deep Techno. It also can be easily read by the label names where Harry's music being released. There's Anton Kubikov's iconic label Pro-Tez, Highway Records sub-label What's In The Box and trendy young imprint Electronica. Important addition to this list will be a release on Kiev vinyl label Artreform. On this new release titled 'Resistance' Harry Light has managed to show all the best sides of his eclectic sound.

Early support from Shinedoe, Slam, Echologist, Rhadow, Pig&Dan, Satoshi Fumi, James Zabiela, Noah Pred and many more!

Following on from last year's infectiously weird Rooster EP, Bullion (Nathan Jenkins) now presents his debut Loop The Loop album on his DEEK label. Nathan evolves Rooster's sprightly electronic feel in Loop The Loop, with the inclusion of vocals adding to the record's warm-heartedness. Our choice "Never is the Change" sustains the playful, pleasantly lackadaisical feel of the entire oeuvre, with its lopsided percussion and reverb-drenched, pitch-slid guitars. Smiles on cue: guaranteed.

Loop The Loop drops on 26th February. All orders of the CD and LP come with a free instant download of title track 'Loop The Loop'. Pre-order your copy here.

CLOUDS - OPTIC

If you've seen Tiga play a festival set over the past few months, then you saw him play at least three to five Clouds tracks, with at least one of them being "Optic", "Future Blaster", or "Vaults".

These Scottish Ladmen are some of the most promising producers working today, combining brutish, visceral force with real intelligence and control. They use no gear whatsoever, crafting their bombs from malware in public chatrooms, giving voice to a generation living in the digital ether between the Moon and Glaswegia City.

For the remix, Clouds asked to enlist a hero of theirs, the Swedish techno master Jesper Dahlbäck, who adds another excellent remix to his massive catalog and further cements his place in the Turbo Hall of Endless Respect.

What's In Your Head

'Rise Of Angel' is the brand new single from Luciano, and the first single to be taken from his forthcoming album, due in 2013.  However, for the many thousands of dedicated music fans who have made the pilgrimage to Luciano's hugely successful parties this Summer in Ibiza (the weekly Ushuaia sessions and Vagabundos at Pacha), or the many Cadenza parties around Europe and North America, 'Rise Of Angel' has already become the signature tune and musical hi-light in Luciano's sets, making its release a highly anticipated moment for the Cadenza faithful.

Clocking in at over 15 minutes, 'Rise Of Angel' is an epic slice of modern electronic dance music, the simply Balearic, synth and piano driven hook gently builds and teases with cinematic intent, the light percussion and organic beats working the old Luciano magic, it's no wonder that 'Rise Of Angel' has become one of the most talked about tracks of the Ibiza season this year.

For the remixes, Luciano has kept it in the family, enlisting the duties of fellow Cadenza artists Mirko Loko, UNER and Andrea Oliva to all lend their unique production styles to a solid set of reinterpretations.  The vinyl 12" is coupled with Mirko Loko's pulsating robotic workout, adding a more beats driven take on Luciano's original, and delving into the bass for a heavyweight techno flecked remix.

And bolstering the digital package, UNER weighs in with a dubbed out, rolling drum version, using the vocal FX to support the groove whilst the pianos ride over the mix, and Andrea Oliva goes straight for the 4/4 jugular with a remix that builds solid tribal beats to a crescendo, adding a new dimension to the Original with a choice vocal section.

'Rise Of Angel' will be Luciano's first release on his own Cadenza label since 2010's Lucien-N-Luciano's 'Cuidad De Luz' EP, and marks the start of another big chapter in his career, having spent the last couple of years building a passionate audience through hundreds of DJ performances around the world, the Vagabundos events and collaborating musically with artists such as Pharrrell (Neptunes) and Lenny Kravitz.  His forthcoming album will be his second full length collection (following 2009's ‘Tribute To The Sun’), and his label, Cadenza Records, will celebrate its 10th anniversary, so the future certainly looks bright for the Chilean producer and DJ.
