B Adrift (Dorisburg Remix) 
B2 Adrift (Avalon Emerson's Furiously Awake Version)

"When Octo Octa sent us the demos for her first full-length record since 2013, we were floored by how many tracks were single worthy. But, there was one that stood out as something entirely on its own, a song that in many ways sounded like nothing Maya had ever released. Since the beginning, we always knew we wanted to do something special with "Adrift," the 8+ minute space-age synth-dub techno tune. When we asked Maya about doing a 12" with remixes we were blindsided to learn she has NEVER had any of her music remixed before. With some remixers in mind, she asked two of her favorites and they said yes. So, here we are to present HNY-016 Octo Octa - Adrift, remixed by Avalon Emerson and Dorisburg."

Florian Meindl's third artist album "Time Illusion" marked another big milestone in
his career. These last 12 months have seen him tour his live show, where he has
showcased his flair for live performance with some heavy equipment including his
Eurorack Modular System.
To remix Time Illusion Florian has chosen three artists that he admires for their
unique take on techno music. Lucy, responsible for the curation of the highly
respected Stroboscopic Artefacts imprint, Sigha renowned for his modular system
performances and productions on Token and Blueprint and up and coming
Netherlands duo TWR72 who have been continuing to put out fresh and gamechanging
releases on their label Float Records.
The Lucy remix spans on a whole A side with 45 rotations per minute and opens a
window in a yet unknown dimension of expanding effect drones which takes the
listener on an extraordinary trip of its own. He took the opportunity to weave the
breakbeat from the original composition into a straight-clocked rhythm while
giving the harmonic content a new unheard surreal depth. This track has got the
potential to suck the dancers minds into a strange journey and yet keep them on the
steady rhythm.
Sigha's interpretation of "Frame Of Mind" manages to be heavy and soft at the
same time with industrial noise movements and mystic synth sequences emerging
and disappearing. The beauty in this masterpiece lies in the balance between the
sweet harmonic content and the pounding beat construction, which keeps moving
and modulating until the very end.
TWR72 deliver a perfectly working and grooving DJ weapon, which is highly
playable in all sorts of situations. They perfectly manage to incorporate the key
elements from the original into their very own signature sound. The eclectic
alternation between a suspense-packed part and a pure forward going beat
section makes this tune outstanding and joyful to put on the turntable again and
again.

Resident Advisor Premiere: Florian Meindl - Space Traveler (Lucy Remix) [ FLASH-X-004 ]

The penultimate release on Optimo Trax (at least for now) comes from Tel Aviv’s mighty Kalbata. I was already a big fan and was so delighted when he got in touch to see if I would be interested in releasing something by him. Unusually for Optimo Trax this is one track in 3 versions but each version is so different that often I play them all in one DJ set. Originally there were two versions but as Kalbata is a renowned master of dub (check out the documentary online about him recording in Jamaica) I gently persuaded him to do a no holds barred dub mix too which appears here as Enkuan pt 3.

A few words about the record from Kalbata - 

I went to Ethiopia in the beginning of 2017 to record musicians. The most memorable one was Mulugeta Teshome who plays the Washint flute on this record. It's a traditional Ethiopian flute made out of wood and Mulugeta came to the studio carrying a whole bag of them, each one in a different key. We chose the scale and started the recording session. I ended up taking the tracks a lot further with the three cuts on the record but really it all started that day, in a small studio shack in Addis Ababa.

Three track 12" (and digital) released on December 1st 2017. Distributed by Kompakt and Rub A Dub.

NEEDS 005 MASTRS

DJ Normal 4 - Return Of The Hooligans (RA NEW TRACKS)

Beneath the glimmering lights of the city he ran amidst tall buildings as his feet tread heavily upon the pavements and concrete. He had developed a high sweat under the glow and gleam of the moonlight, this was supposed to be exercise but it felt more like a chore. He ran past groups of friends who'd had one too many, he ran past lonely souls who'd lost themselves to the desk job long ago and he wandered past the posers who knew little for their deeper purpose on this earth. This was a brief insight to the city which engulfed his world around him, he cared little for whether it might still be there when he woke tomorrow. 

Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai on a new EP recorded for SaS Recordings here in London. A tribal, krautrock inspired house infusion of the utmost quality. Good vibes guaranteed.

Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai

PREMIERE: Auf Togo Meets Becker & Mukai - High Sweat [SaS Recordings]

Slow and smooth build up with an intense but mellow peak that just goes on and on. It fills you with empathy and intense sensation heightening. SWIM smoked a joint halfway through and melted into the couch. It’s perfect for a rolling party with a group of friends, though SWIM imagines it would be great for a proper party too. Sometimes SWIM felt like dancing, but spent most of the time staring into space. This is really nice, intense, smooth and mellow. Get ahold of these if you get the chance!

Note: Your experience will vary depending on your settings. If you're in a bad place with bad people, you won’t feel a thing.

Archive // 004 - AV4 (Ambient Version)

"One of the hardest thing as a musician is to maintain this naive, almost utopian and emotional approach to our music. Especially when it comes to a highly codified genre like Electronic music which appeared in the late 80s/early 90s like a promise of a bright future for music, everything sounding so fresh and revolutionary. When Katerina sent me those demos I heard that freshness, that pure intention, something I remember from discovering melancholic Detroit tunes in the 90s or early Warp ‘artificial intelligence’ compilations, bridging the gap between techno and more intricate electronica. It’s been a while since I didn’t hear an EP so sincere - and not JUST nostalgic, that makes me want to dance alone in my living room and forget about everything else. It’s a subtle thing that makes the difference but that difference is everything, it’s Music."

Longlost - Take 8
A1 Take 8
A2 Take 8 (Kevin Devin Interpretation)
B1 Take 8 (Taraval & Jackie House Remix)

It is rare that simplicity and recognizability happen in dance music, but ‘Take 8’ is just that. A song so heartfelt and recognizable it demanded its own slab of wax. This expertly mixed and crafted house cut romances listeners into a catchy live piano ditty that could go on for days.

The label decided the piano ​should​ go on and set up NYC classical Pianist and friend of Honey Soundsystem crew Kevin Devine on a blind date with the producers for the A2. Kevin whipped up a compositional response to the original and it was recorded live on a Grand in LA-4A’s studio. Finally, to make it a family affair, Taraval, known for his work of Four Tet’s TEXT, teams up with label co-founder Jackie House for a kraut-no take on the original, fusing vacillating resonant bleeps and robust drums with glimpses of the original’s ethereal sounds.

Longlost - Take 8

“When nothing else remained on this earth to mine, when there were no more fish or mollusks or plants, and little clean, nor temperate, air left to breathe … a mass migration of consciousness looked to cyberspace; neurological data uploaded for a chance of a new virtual existence within only screens. But the digital world, much like the world it was born from, is built upon the same biases which destroyed it in the first place. A world within a world is equally finite - and the utopian ideals of an ungoverned second life found old principles (or lack thereof), merely copied and pasted over from its irl predecessor. With the bandwidth exceeded; they banned those which offered less power, less good behaviour, less money. But upkeep the server of the elite, and you shall gain entry.”

The latest sonic output of artist-producer-dj-polymath Moonbow comes served in the form of a 12” vinyl on West Friends: the imprint spearheaded by South London’s Rye Wax & FYI Chris. After three years of quietly producing, Moonbow’s name is most familiar within the London nightlife scene, where — alongside their work within SIREN collective — they are known for their colourful DJ sets & mixtapes, leading to a mention in Crack Magazine’s “Top 10 Mixes of 2018”, guest mixing on Rinse FM and contributing to Honey Soundsystem’s mix series. These sonic tapestries are an exercise in storytelling that is at once euphoric and melancholic, whilst delving into both the old and new. Often known to make an appearance are chopped 'n' spliced vocals, silky psychedelic melodies, and bass vibrations so heavy that no nearby drinks are safe from spillage.

These characteristics can certainly be found on BNND WDTH, where the A-side is a tense build up of transcendental textures and rhythms that moves ever closer towards the dance floor compared to Moonbow’s earlier releases. On the side B, Discwoman affiliate and Toronto’s favourite one-to-watch Ciel takes the helm on a psychedelic breaks rework (one you may have seen many an “ID?” for in THAT Crack Magazine mix from SIREN DJs).

Project Runaway - Met (Dub)

Fjordfunk, Jackmaster Dahle, Kango Sten Massiv, Jann Dahle goes by many names, but since the early 2000’s he’s been making esoteric beat music across these platforms with music that travelled from cut n paste house of Kyd & Kango to the electro funk of Fjordfunk. After a long period of inactivity, Dahle has returned to fray with a new EP as Fjordfunk and a special one off performance for this Boiler Room event.
