Ethereal Dreams (Original Mix)

DFA / Visionquest duo Benoit & Sergio return mid October with some fresh and typically unique new material via Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom Limited imprint.

French artist Benoit & stateside producer Sergio’s collaborative career took a huge leap in 2010 with the release of their anthemic ‘Walk & Talk’ on the Visionquest imprint. Since then the duo have gone on to release via James Murphy’s DFA, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, L.A imprint Culprit and now, adding another leading imprint to their affiliations, Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom.

As always from Benoit & Sergio this new single sees the duo offer up something refreshing, unique and undeniably catchy. Across ‘House With 500 Rooms’ subtly progressing, near ten minute duration, the pair scatter an array on deft production techniques throughout with echoing vocal swells, multilayered bass and piano hooks and soaring synth leads running alongside their signature memorable vocal styling’s.

The latter half of the package sees the duo provide a ‘Dub’ take on the original cut solely focusing on the its smooth and hypnotic vibe, while the ‘Radio Edit’ trims things back to the core of the opening composition to shape up the package.

Benoit & Sergio’s ‘House With 500 Rooms’ is out on Leftroom Limited 16th October 2015.

Tracklist:
1. House With 500 Rooms
2. House With 500 Rooms (Dub)

Doorly - P&O (Cajual Records)

It DIS What It DIS

South Beach

The car raced towards the finish line at a hurtling pace. In pursuit there was a squadron of motors parading proudly in the wake of the smoke trail which blazed up high amidst the sky. Burning rubber lingered in the air and the crowd of spectators watched on in awe at the sheer speed and scale of the display. Some had disputed the validity of the race, some had even claimed that the sport was for suckers and cheats. What did they know about speed anyway? This was it. 

Dormir are an Australian group from Melbourne, they are set to release a new EP on Pelvis Records & Burning Rose, new wave, dream like electronics with a sense of nostalgia. The EP is rounded off by two remixes by both Cop Envy and Leo James. It is the first which we bring to you today.

In Pursuit

PREMIERE: Dormir - In Pursuit (Cop Envy Remix) [Pelvis Records/ Burning Rose]

The computer screen flashed abruptly and the light went out beneath the thick dense glass. The old machine had potentially blown its fuse for the day but there was still significant hope that the track might not have been lost to the depths of the ether. Vanishing into thin air it had the potential to revitalise itself from the beyond. Reloading the machine there was little hope or life in the old box, the tin can rattled beneath the desk as his foot tapped abruptly upon the floor. 

Now here's a secretive one, an unknown artist with an unknown track. Discodromo however are familiar faces, the pair behind Cocktail d'Amore remix the mysterious alias on Me Me Me.

PREMIERE: Artist Deleted - Track Deleted (Discodromo's Belgian Remix) [Me Me Me]

The machinery was piled high inside cardboard boxes which towered high towards the ceiling. The warehouse was a place of militant storage and not somewhere expected to be of any sort of interest to the outside world. At least so he thought... Inside however, there was a playhouse, a fortress of solitude by which nobody else knew of. The palace of Xenon was his big time place of fun and after dark once all the staff had gone he was quite simply left to his own devices. He was the king of the castle. 

Ludwig A.F. Röhrscheid is set to release a new EP on Exo Recordings on the 19th of February next month. A wonderful blend of elegant electronics, blissful pads and tricky rhythms.

PREMIERE: Ludwig A.F. Röhrscheid - Xenon [Exo Recordings]

The beach was a tropical paradise upon which beautiful people graced, it was not somewhere to see but in which to be seen. Sitting upon a sunbed he looked out at the peaceful world and took a drink from his tall glass of coco loco. The cold moisture which stuck to the side of the glass felt icy and  chilled to the touch, the sand in between his toes rustled below. The sun was scorching hot and the heat was almost too much to bare, retreating into the shade he lay down and closed his eyes. 

House Is Ok are set to release a new EP celebrating five years in business, the split EP features contributions from Kornel Kovacs, Roman Flugel and more.

Gemist part 1

PREMIERE: Longhair - Coco Loco [House Is Ok]

The tropical escapade had seen them travel across the globe in search of the most beautiful beaches upon the great planet earth. What they had found was startling and beautiful: golden sands, blue skies, radiant green forests and winding waterfalls. Now as they stood watching the sun set upon the horizon they held each others hands and began to dance. This was the sweet foreign sound of sambao, a soundtrack to an experience which had led them amidst the stars and into beyond...

Duccio is set to release a new EP on the up and coming Greta Cottage Workshop imprint, a label with a consistent drive for exploration and creativity. He seems at home on the label with an intriguing club focussed release set to delight and surprise.

PREMIERE: Duccio - Sambao [Greta Cottage Workshop]

We're massive fans of Bwana here at R$N Towers. Trust us, it's difficult to understate that. So when we heard that the Toronto-born producer (real name Nathan Micay) was starting a new vinyl-only label called Schvitz Edits, we leapt at the chance to premiere his take on another Canadian hero - folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, whose 1966 song 'Oh, Linda' provides the basis for Micay's absurdly titled 'Trance Pluckathon Remix'. Somehow, against all the odds, this heartbroken ballad's reincarnation as a slow burn early '90s trance anthem makes perfect sense.

Out 9th February, the first release on Schvitz Edits is also home to Micay's edit of Dr. John's 'I Walk On Guilded Splinters'. There will be two further 12"s arriving later this year - each of them focused on bringing classic non-dance music songs into a dancefloor context.
