Composition, effects, feelings....  IMO, one of the best tracks *ever*. 

"a rapsody in gold where out-of-this-world melodies and geometric old-skool grooves melt in a bench chemistry orgy..."

Bien avant la téléréalité, Lee Harvey Oswald avait compris comment passer à la télé pour gagner rapidement en notoriété.
Ce morceau ainsi que sa face B, ne sont jamais sortis. On a voulu nous faire taire.

Frankfurt based producer dj/producer Martin Heimann presents his debut single “Salto” on Carry On. Remaining faithful to its name, the small label puts out another piece of limited wax every once in a long while. Enrooted  in  the  soundscapes  of  80's  proto-house,  the original  version  of  Salto  is  a thriving  piece  of  octave  liberation.  Consistent  changes  between  harmonics  break  up  the repetitive structure, while FM pads and the 303 are performing a little duet.
The release is ennobled by two proper remixes from LYO favorites Moon B and Jex Opolis ! Jex remix here featured comes with some embellishment to the cords, change in the bassline and a nice 808 snap. On top Mr Opolis adds some mysterious and cheesy vocals samples that match perfect with the moody 80's orchestral stabs, dope ! Expected for end march

Suzanne Kraft's ambient LP "Talk From Home" and his EP released as Dude Energy were definitely some of 2015's highlights. The LA producer returns this month with the "DJ Safety" EP released via Stuttgart label Kitjen, who had previously welcomed Hotel Lauer, Tambien and Shit Robot. This time Diego Herrera offers three beautifully crafted house jams, including the phlegmatic Japanese-inspired "Skype". As usual with Suzanne Kraft, the production is flawless : a steady beat, a mesmeric bass line, dreamy pads, a clever use of the delay, Herrera knows how to tell a story. Mind-blowing and already essential, out on March 28th !

Stay Awake

The white light glinted electric through the sky so black. The shift in the skies would cause the turn of the tide back home on planet earth, the ground would rumble with a great roar. The moon theme echoed across the galaxy and the waves of sound melted down upon those below, they looked up to the heavens above and saw the white golden ball flash once, then vanish into dark.
Here is the latest release from the DEEWEE camp, the label being run by the infamous Soulwax duo. This release comes from Bolis Pupul who offers an enchanting piece of music on 'Moon Theme'.

Two years after the electro-soca sensation that became of Carl & Carol Jacobs’ Robot Jam, the duo return to Emotional Rescue with a reissue of the follow up in Yonge Street Jam Band.   An update of Robot Jam’s music and riddim in a true Caribbean sense, Yonge Street is a freestyle remix and comes in the original’s Parts 1 & 2, plus a special Discomix by rising tape manipulator, Jonny 5.

Following Robot Jam on Crosby Records, the Jacobs’ husband and wife team released a series of soca 12”s for Eddy Grant’s Ice Records in the following years.   However, come 1988 and they decided to return to the electro flavours that had garnered considerable interest, reworking the Robot Jam tapes to create a new version for release on Straker's Records in Brooklyn.

Running for over 30 years from the early 70s to late 90s, Granville Straker's label was a cornerstone of the soca scene releasing main stays, reggae stars and what have become highly sought rarities such as Yonge Street and The Rebles’ Sweetest Taboo.  

In Yonge Street again the cut-up samples are there, topped with a fresh bass line and Carl’s own rap attack.   While Part 1 acts as straight up vocal version, Part 2 swerves towards scat-megamix stylings that work in their own right.    However, as with the “Disco Giant” series of 2015, this one-off return hands the tapes over for a modern reinterpretation.   

With acclaimed releases for Bahnsteig 23 and Power Cuts, plus an upcoming EP for Pleasure Wave, Jonny 5 has finally made the leap from respected CBS Forum oracle, DJ and collector with a penchant from dub to obscuro European cold wave and post punk oddities to finally sit in the producer’s chair.

After sending the label a personal mix made for his own use, he was hauled in to the studio to officially cut, mix, arrange and dub a long-form Discomix in the truest sense that perfectly creates a dance floor retake that might well be heard from boat parties off the Dalmatian cost to the open air street parties of São Paulo and all over festivals across the green fields of Europe.

WHILE ATTEMPTING – AND FAILING – TO APPREHEND THE SHADOWY FIGURE KNOWN AS “MAX ABYSMAL” DURING A FRENZIED CHASE THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND AMSTERDAM ARTS ESTABLISHMENT “HET SKATECAFÉ”, WE RECOVERED A BOXED REEL OF QUARTER-INCH TAPE. INTELLIGENT ASSETS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS CONTAINS MUSICAL RECORDINGS OF THE TYPE USED TO PASS ON CODED MESSAGES TO THE SAFE TRIP ORGANISATION.

THE FIRST RECORDING WE HAVE TITLED “DONNA, DON’T STOP”. WE INCLUDE IT WITH THIS MESSAGE SO YOU CAN PERFORM YOUR OWN ANAYLSIS. NOTE THE USE OF A RISING AND FALLING ELECTRONIC MOTIF CAPABLE OF INDUCING A TRANCE-LIKE STATE IN THOSE UNTRAINED IN LISTENING TO ELECTRONIC MUSIC THIS POTENT AND EMOTIVE.

“SUTEKH’S MIRAGE”, THE SECOND CODED COMPOSITION, IS BOLDER AND WARMER IN TONE, MAKING USE OF DAZZLINGLY COLOURFUL MELODIC PATTERNS AND PASSAGES OF PERCUSSION THAT REFERENCE POLYRHYTHMS. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE SURFACE BEAUTY OF THIS RECORDING: IT IS CAPABLE OF INDUCING HALLUCINATIONS AND IRREGULAR HEARTBEATS, AND THEREFORE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN THE WRONG HANDS.
