Of course Thomas Stieler is above all a DJ at heart it‘s his passion. This has clearly been on display since 2005 with an open-hearted, development- adorned definition of electro-acoustic sonic design.
His gift is in his ability to present his vision of technoid joi de vivre and house- flavored hip swing with a taste of the galant to the audience. He‘s not thirsty for the fleeting notoriety and peak time nonsense. Rather, for him it has everything to do with the sustainable potency of the celebration of house and techno. He comes as a noted, universal „weapon“ for those special thoughtful moments of the celebration. From an idylic beginning in Saalfeld, Thomas Stieler is convin- ced that his hometown has more to offer than merely fine chocolate, manufac- turing and elaborate caves...
In the region (and in the meantime, throughout many regions) he enjoys inargu- ably an official nimbus when it comes to quality management in regards to club design. This is put on display weekend for weekend as he puts his agility as an activist in front of and behind the office. Along with his own sonic fabrications, these are indeed worth much more than merely a Soundcloud patron leaving a positive comment.
Thomas is an authentic ‚convincer‘ in the electronic experience, infected by a pionier spirit and the yearning for the perfect groove on the decks, in the air and on the sea...

Lauer has smashed it again with a strong bassline that soars upwards into blissful territory with choral pads and a sparkling synth melody.

Acid Bitchez - Thinking About Acid (Zia Remix)

To inaccurately paraphrase his DJ biog, Craig Bratley is doggy, unusual and atmospheric. The man behind Magic Feet rekkids and eBay's profits on the rising trade from analogue to modular synths, he has been making us dance less awkwardly and chuckle more frequently for many years now. After a relaxing winter sojourn spent on his yacht (moored off the Gibraltan coast, near Skegness), he had his PA reach out to us with, faxing us two mixtapes. Here is the first, ripe and fruity like one of his finest vintage Blue Nun's.

Craig Bratley: The Ransom Note Mix (First Leg)

KAP is a combo between Knekelhuis and Bordello A Parigi. We love italian producer Alessandro Parisi (aka Hesperius Draco) which we invited to a party we co-organized in Batofar alongside Mick Wills some years ago. When we heard he would be involved in a new project called "Dynamite Winter Palace" with London based Timothy J Fairplay, another fave of us, we were eagerly looking forward to hear it. They found themselves in the middle of an ice cold world, opening their wintery project with the “Romance” soundtrack here premiered. The warm synth lines will single handedly set Moscow’s frozen red square on fire, epic ! Vinyl is out 15th february, go for it !

PREMIERE : Dynamite Winter Palace - Romance

As one of the leading figures behind Multi Culti and Turbo Recordings, Thomas Von Party finds himself in a rather envious position. As a DJ he has played a significant and important role in the Montreal club scene, in 2014 he opened a club, Datcha, which has since gone on to find critical acclaim for its diverse music policy and its cultural benefits to the city. In 2013 he co founded the Multi Culti label alongside Dreems, it is set to release a compilation series titled 'Sun Gaze / Moon Faze' which features a great breadth of music from artists including Moscoman, Manfredas, Kris Baha and more. Von Party himself will also feature having recently begun to dabble in the world of production following an extensive and formative number of years spent DJ'ing around the world.

It's The Inside That Counts

Native To America

Club life would never be the same again now that he had left the building. He was gone and so too would this place be very soon. The world mourned the last dancer, out the door he had walked never to return to a floor in which he had spent many a night lost under the glowing lights and disco balls. His movement had been legendary, the talk of the town. Now all that was left was an eerie shadow and an empty space where he had used to stand. This night was for him, they would move in honour. The night had only just begun. Let's ride. 

UK pioneers, rave fanatics and living legends 2 Bad Mice return with a bang. Social Sneaker Club release the first EP from the three since 2004 in what marks a landmark occasion for UK rave culture.

Gone Too Soon

PREMIERE: 2 Bad Mice - Gone Too Soon [Sneaker Social Club]

The warmth of the summer season had begun to fade. Soon the plains would be full of lush green grass and flying birds. Rainy season approached and the hardship of the drought was almost over. The struggle of a community stranded amidst the desert was not deemed important on the global scene. They were a forgotten people. As she watched the clouds move slowly across the sky she wondered when the first drop might fall from above. She longed for the feel of the cold damp upon her skin, she longed to come into rain. It would be any day now, but for tonight the people would have to wait. 

Arnheim is set to release a two track EP on the newly launched label, Baptismo Alpinismo. The label is an offshoot of Isaiah Tapes and sees Arnheim take an eclectic approach with percussive drums and subtle padding.

PREMIERE: Arnheim - Come Into Rain [Baptismo Alpinismo]

The opening month was always the most difficult time of year. The cold wind howled down the misty morning streets and ice lay glazed upon the concrete. As he watched from his bedroom window he looked down upon the people walking to work. Their lives were so busy, so rushed, so hectic, so tense. Some January this would be, the coldest yet they'd said. Up here in the far north it was hard to find work, or the energy to survive, let alone prosper during the winter season. Some January this would be indeed. 

Nekhsa delivers Spinning Plates' third release. The highly anticipated record follows two well received EP's which first appeared on the label back in 2015. The release sees the talents of New York's DJ Spider who ramps up the pace in his own trademark style. This one is packed with weird fuzz and sludgey undertones.

PREMIERE: Nekhsa - Some Jan (DJ Spider Remix)[Spinning Plates]

Deep beneath the sea swam the vessel. They were well beyond enemy territory now, they were fishing in the waters of the villain and if they were to be caught then peril would soon follow. They knew they should not have travelled this far but the sea can do funny things to peaceful men. They were looking to engage, to interact, to breach the peace. Many aboard the submarine had been divided upon the plan of attack but they all agreed upon one thing: the regime must be broken and its wickedness halted. The murky waters offered them an opportunity which ceased to exist elsewhere. This was the time. 

Gonima is the first artist to appear on a new vinyl based record label titled Slam City Jams. Operating out of Munich the label has been founded by the duo more commonly known as Rhode & Brown who have most notably released on Toy Tonics. The release itself is deep and elegant

Grids

PREMIERE: Gonima - Subdivided [Slam City Jams]

The weight was difficult to fathom. It made no sense, the collateral damage would be excessive and the result would be one of impending doom. The concrete glimmered grey under the floodlights, they sat perched upon a park bench simply watching the world go by. The pressure of such a decision weighed heavy upon his shoulders but she sat peacefully by his side as though nothing was wrong. Looking out into the distance they watched the flickering glow of the city lights, they seemed a million miles away from them now. Up out here in the distant blocks nothing seemed real, not under the weight. 

Malka Tuti return with a new EP from The Kloom. Remixes are aplenty on this one with the likes of Khidja and Die Wilde Jagd both featuring.

PREMIERE: The Kloom - 40 Gram Beton (Khidja Remix) [Malka Tuti]

FHUO Records or For Heaven Use Only (@forheavenuseonly-records) is a new record label founded by @Folamour, who is also a co-founder of the widely successful @Moonrise-Hill-Material and a very talented producer in his own right. The forthcoming first release is a various artist EP and is titled "L'Homme ne descend pas du singe mais du bruit” translated to Man didn’t descend from monkeys but from noise. The tagline on the Soundcloud page reads “no informations needed”, which we assume means let the music do the talking.

One of the four tracks on the EP is by fellow MHM co-founder Victor Dijoud aka @kaffecreme, who released Moonrise Hill Material’s highly sought after second record. “Baciami Subito” is proof again that the Lyon based producer and multi-instrumentalist is able to elegantly merge samples with his own sound to create something unique.

The release will be out in November, be sure to add this one to your collection as soon as its available!

PREMIERE : Kaffe Crème - Baciami Subito

The White Tapes EP of new @secretreels features three original tracks by Kian T (@kiantmusic) and a B side remix by Dutch wizard Daniel Leseman (@danielleseman), which we have the pleasure of premiering here today. 

Daniel takes the original, raw vibes of “Flughafen” and flips it on its feet into a clean-cut, sanguine affair. His signature warm chords and brassy synths are front and center, turning the spacey, atmospheric elements and twinkly keys taken from the original into complementary background pieces. A not too busy, club-oriented groove with hand drums, muted cowbells, crisp hats and jazzy rides gives the melodic elements room to breathe and helps solidify the track as one you’re sure to dance to in the near future.

PREMIERE : Kian T - Flughafen (Daniel Leseman Remix)

@tlimshug is behind the wheel for BODO004 (@bobby-donny) and we have an exclusive preview of the A2 track, “Wig Split”. True to form, Tlim Shug sticks to the lo-fi sound that has made him one of the well known names in the now booming trend. A DJ Smokey sampled and looped hip-hop vocal with a simple yet contagious and haunting keyboard melody form the backbone of the track. Low-passed hats and claps paired with crushed toms and snares form the no-frills four on the floor beat while a beefy bassline drives the song. An airy pad makes an appearance about halfway through, amping up the intensity as the groove progresses. Don’t forget to pre-order your copy: http://bit.ly/2dOSyZv

Behind the old country house lay a field full of intrigue and mystery. Buried deep at the bottom of Burton's Garden lay an old chest, many had rumoured that it led to another dimension, a portal of sorts, but who actually knew? It may well be poppycock of course, or it may in fact be something quite magical and strange. Surrounded by pretty flowers it lay unopened, waiting for the right character to come along and enter the next world. The portal awaited, Burton was watching. 

Up next on Night Noise is an exciting release which sees Sau Poler feature on remix duties. He delivers a hypnotic and beautiful re-imagined version of "Burton's Garden".

PREMIERE: Jamie Porteous - Burton's Garden (Sau Poler Remix)[Night Noise]
