Destined to put together sounds that are a bit more exciting than the predictable four to the floor, Pedro Aguiar's album Landscapes and Heartbreaks contains more twists and turns than a particularly indecisive river. With everything from choirs to wind instruments to all sorts of technological goodness, you can listen to the album one track at a time below as Pedro guides you through this aural adventure. Here's how he describes his debut aural outing;

"This album represents my occasional urge to escape the 4/4 world. I love the freedom of not worrying with what people will think of my music or if they will play my songs or not. I guess this is quite a selfish album in the sense that I didn’t really wanted to please anyone. I had no grand plan to make an album nor any aspirations to release it with a record label but about a year ago, I had a listen to a variety of my unfinished projects that I had made over the past 3 years and most of it really sounded like an album when pieced together. And so my first album was born."

*** NOW WITH ADDED DOWNLOAD GOODNESS *** 

Manfredas' EP 'Pink Industry' - the second release from Ivan Smagghe's new label Les Disques De La Mort - has been getting us all hot under the proverbial collar - it's summer now so less shirts are being worn.

Now, the rather fine Lithuanian producer has gifted us an exclusive remix of Finnish wunderkind Jaakko Eino Kalev for all you lovely R$N-ers to hear.  

Feast your ears on this sublime piece of sunshine-fuelled Finnish pop. Funny how a few solar beams of light outside turn this from glacial to sunshine-fuelled.

Pink Industry is out now, available on vinyl only. 
For more information, check out the Les Disques De La Mort website.

"Bittersweet pop music from the future haunted by ghosts from the past." Andrew Weatherall

C.A.R also known as Chloé Raunet formerly of Battant follows up the release of her album, ‘My Friend’, with single Glock’d. 

We've got the great honour of premiering the The Asphodells aka Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J. Fairplays remix of the track. GLOCK’D is C.A.R’s trademark washed out sarcasm and bleached cynicism. The track forages paths through Chloe’s dark mind. It was one of the first songs she wrote on her own, and was recorded down in the bunker with Timothy J Fairplay himself. The remix from Andrew and Tim voyages through ethereal atmospheric electronics and edges into glam-stomp territory.

Get it in your ears here: 

Elsewhere Les Disques De La Mort protégé and R$N favourite Manfredas reworks album track Angelina plus there's also a fresh new track ‘Silk’. A Rhodes rendition recorded live in Paris "on a cold winter’s day."

Check the rather fine video for the track here:

Get your foot on the accelerator and set your body to pumping mode. Other than the fact that your car will start moving in a motion not unlike that of a less-than-intelligent cow, you'll be in the right place to get this new selection of sonic belters from John Heckle into your ears.

Set for release via Midnight Shift on 8th June, we're bringing you the title track which opens up Heckle's Wet Noises triplet of tunes. This particular element is a no frills affair that's more banging than a circus cannon. It'll feel like you're on a caffeine rush in the middle of the day and that the only way to calm yourself is with MORE CAFFEINE. 

Go on, get this down your throat... I mean your ears;

Phillip Lauer seems to be generating a vast amount of music at present. Every couple of weeks an email will drop into our busy inboxes with a new release or remix from the Tuff City Kids member. His album for Permanent Vacation last year caught our attention with it's zealous melodies and excitable percussion. It was a real feel good affair which can often go amiss. His sensibilities remain similar on his latest release for Futureboogie. It seemed an odd choice of release for both the label and artist, however, after a listen it begins to make perfect sense.

The hard-hitting legend Nick Warren took over control of The Rabbit Hole's 'Funkingham Palace' at 2am on Friday night....

Resident Advisor:
"You can tell when Nick Warren's on the decks. The music emanating from the DJ booth is that perfect club mix of driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound. Warren's impressive career has seen him release the very first “Back to Mine”, a staggering eight albums for “Global Underground”, and one for “Renaissance”. He is also in control of A&R for record label Hope Recordings, as well as being a member of the highly acclaimed duo Way Out West. Starting as tour DJ with Massive Attack, moving onto a residency at super club Cream and playing at every self-respecting club on the planet, has led him to this natural position as one of the world's most respected DJs.

All this history has been eclipsed by Nick’s present: Nick continues to play out every weekend on every continent, whilst also maintaining Hope Recording's high quality output that they and Warren himself have become synonymous with; his DJ career spans two decades and is driven by a continual desire for change. His sound is forged by an enduring relationship with cutting edge producers all over the globe, in many cases long before they become established. This is no better represented than in the continuing bi-monthly Radio show 'Soundgarden' on Friskyradio which attracts over 150000 unique tune-ins to each airing or his mixes for Digweed’s 'Transitions'.

In 2013 Hope Recordings released three releases under Warren's name and also a landmark 20th anniversary edition of the Renaissance masters series album, which Nick was honourably asked to compile. These diverse outputs from Warren on Hope Recordings have included a remix of global pop sensation Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' and also two breathtaking original productions 'Devil's Elbow' and 'La Fabrica', both demonstrating Warren's diverse abilities in assuming a classic timeless sound, whilst still injecting a glossy and modern slant into his powerful productions. 'Devil's Elbow' was also supported with two highly reputable remixes from Max Cooper and jozif. Max Cooper's remix was supported by an unique conceptual video and received great critical acclaim reaching No.1 in Beatport's Electronica chart.

2014 saw the release of Nick's crowd funded "The Soundgarden" album which was supported via a very successful Pledge Music campaign, giving his fans the chance to directly engage and become part of the album in many different ways. In the later part of 2014 Nick released the single "Alta / Golden Cap" through Alex Niggermans Soulfooled Recordings, the release showcasing his innate ear for melody and impeccable production skills. Nick's most recent release was his collaboration with Guy Mantzur, entitled "Sad Robot" which came out on Bedrock Recordings. The track has received support and airplay from BBC6 music. It also reached no.4 in the Beatport Techno chart. In addition to all this of this, Nick has also kept up his extensive touring schedule and has many more exciting things in the pipeline for the rest of 2015. Nick Warren is still at the top of his game and showcasing why he is still standing as a giant within electronic music..."
