#138 - Philipp Boss

For their second installment, the Chateau Chepere crew brings on board legendary producer Stephan Laubner under his STL moniker, with four time warping pieces of music. With his distinctive and intricate sonic palette, Laubner extracts from his hardware different musical colors and shapes to produce singular atmospheres. Opening up the EP is Fly Fly, an epic 11 min minimal house trip full of tension and excitement, followed by Eargrind, an eerie, laid back Detroit leaning ballad. On the flip is Light Up, a spaced out, playful and bittersweet number that will revitalize any hazy after-hours dancefloor. Closing up the EP is Unlike Dislike, a quirky, jacking and mischievous techno workout for the packed club. This diverse ep will pull the listeners and dancers into Laubner's multifaceted, low key but captivating universe.

A. Madhouse Dub feat. Kristian Harborg
B. Melbourne Bolero

When did we write these songs? How long did we let them collecting digital dust before we decided to put them out? Memory is a difficult thing these days. But thanks to Swedish saxophone virtuoso Kristian Harborg these two songs suddenly re-surfaced, with new relevance and purpose. Taladitionalists will hear a familiar sound, as we stick to deep & dubby Kraut disco, fine-tuned for intimate stadiums yet again. Can a song be too long? Let’s find out! Thanks for listening.

ani/live Five: DJ Voices @ Nowadays Nonstop

The door of the plane flung open and its passengers began making their way down the stairs onto the hot tarmac. It was a world a way from the place they'd left; every inch of the sky was bright blue and the trees that surrounded the runway were all bursting with life. All she'd ever known was the cold and dark, just harsh winters and dreary summers, all colour and brightness squeezed out of everything. She squinted up at the sun, letting the warmth bathe her whole. This is what she'd been missing; for the first time she felt like she was really living.

Dublin-based producer and DJ Jamal Sul is on quite the roll recently. Under his moniker Moving Still he recently made his debut on Palms Trax's CWPT label with a collection of original cuts, and he's also responsible for a catalogue of top notch edits that breathe new life into old Arabic gems. His next project is for Amsterdam's Disco Arabesquo and Kuwaiti cassette label Al Nazaer, which sees him inaugurating a new 12" series of edits called 'Yallah Ya Ashab', with two fresh takes on 90s Kuwaiti songs: the first a flip of singer and actor Bashar Ali Sultan's 'Omrena' and the second a rework of a one hit wonder by a band called Firkit el Lotus.

The prolific Boyanza outfit kickstart ‘23 in amazing fashion with their “Girls With Guns” EP crafted by TAPIA. Classy spaced out sounds manoeuvring between the refined ends of the house and techno spectrum, with a splash of nostalgic disco vibe for good measure. The two originals are accompanied by a stellar remix from Alex Aguayo.
First up is “Acapulco Gold” featuring Badmoiselle & Vleks, a five minute trip moulded upon a distinct and sleek atmosphere, mysterious as it moves, but positive energy shines brightly through the cracks, as glistening synths and pads breathe life in to the chugging bass and crisp drum arrangements. Transcending you to the hazy hours of the night. Serving up their interpretation of the original is Alex Aguayo. The vocals flash in and out as feel good chords and melodies continue to develop as the track blossoms. Huge disco drums pulsating through the dance floor, ready to create moments as the track shines brightly within the storm of the night. Last but not least is title track “Girls With Guns”, a characteristic mood simmers from the get go, bubbling throughout maintaining a distinct drive which leaves the listener in a state of trance.
Tasteful sounds from an essential label of recent times, diving into the new year in the right way, showing they plan another year of integral releases from label regulars and faces of new.

Horse Meat Disco - 19 February 2023

Interview & tracklist: http://bit.ly/3Krt9lC

@izzycamina is soundtracking the end times with unstoppable techno-pop

"Motivated by both a deep love - and repugnance - of NYC’s post-pandemic scene, I still feel like there are some sonic and emotional voids in the city that need plumbing. I idealise the atmosphere of New York City’s ‘80s clubbing golden age. All you need to do is watch footage of the way people moved their bodies at these parties to understand. If I was throwing a house party, this is what you'd hear - a set doused in my own personal taste and bias. As another young person raised on shuffle, this comes with a degree of chaos and inconsistency, like the track selection. With our collectively shortened attention spans, however, I don’t see that as a bad thing (as much as I like going zombie mode and vegging out to the same kick pattern for hours on end).

This mix is actually.. mixed. Intro’d with a playful Sextile remix and punctuated with two emotional and personal heavy-hitters - ‘Adjacent Casualty’ by Kumo99 and ‘I Am Not a Casualty’ by Louisahh and Maelstrom. Keyword: Casualty. I’m not afraid to drop some cringe or profundity or poetry. Maybe a song here and there that isn’t electronic at all. Dancing and clubbing, to me, is sacred catharsis. I want to tailor an atmosphere for people who desire the same release."

Sub Club with Harri & Domenic [Live at Subculture ~ NYE 2022] - 17 February 2023

'Electro punk disco', what's not to like about that? This is the name that London duo Baba Ali coined to describe their electrifying sound which takes a little bit of all the things we love here at Ransom Note and stirs them up in a big old pot.

Comprised of American musician Baba Doherty and British guitarist Nik Balchin, the group blend elements of punk funk and electro with NYC disco and no wave, that's equal parts for the dance floor and for the stage, which they're no stranger to.

They've been touring up and down the country since their debut LP dropped in 2021 and they're showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. With the release of their sophomore album imminent - a debut on Memphis Industries called 'Laugh Like A Bomb' which has been on repeat on 6Music - they join The Go! Team on tour around the UK as of this weekend. But before that they'll be making a pitstop at our own R$N residency at The Social on 10th March for an intimate live set...

Ahead of the gig, we asked Baba to give us a flavour of all his influences, which he does in fine fashion with this mix of groovy, crunchy funk, punk, synth pop, new wave and electro... Perfect fodder for your thirsty Thursday.

Baba Ali: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Essa música me marcou muito quando mudei pra SP. O original é do cara que fabricou os Sex Pistols. Quando ele fez essa faixa, influenciado pela onda de vogue que rolava na pista de danca do Paradise Garage, Madonna nem sonhava em fazer seu hit. Esse é um edit que fiz pra tocar pras pistas atuais
