Je sais qu'on appelle ça interlude normalement, mais ça n'en est pas.

Intermede 1 - Lost At Sea

The wheel within the wheel kept spinning as the motor from within began to roar. The engine gasped and cried as he pelted full throttle across the bareback desert. Sand roared under the screeching tyres. The brakes shuddered under the strain. The wheels kept spinning, an infinite loop, a dada loop of the most hideous of proportions. The sport had long been associated with trouble but for one reason or another nobody had been able to bring themselves to call time on the event. This was it. 

Fly High Society come correct with a split ep from Contours & Dada Cantona. Here is the Contours track which blends elements of jazz and house in a soulful fashion.

Following on from the 'Aset Forever' EP by label bosses Dusky, the next release on 17 Steps comes courtesy of Russian duo Formally Unknown, who've previously appeared on Moscow's Capital Bass and their own Bass Oddity imprint. Out 19th October, the 'Off Peak' EP exists somewhere near the intersection between Detroit techno, UK bass weight and the CoOp scene.

We're very happy to be premiering the title track, which mixes twitchy bleeps and thunderous bass pulses with splintered percussion and a butter-smooth breakdown. So deep you'd need a submarine to even catch a glimpse.

Murge Recordings gives way to its 16th release, Transmutation, by label debutant Rico Casazza along with 2
accompanying remixes by techno kingpins, Kirk Degiorgio and Aubrey.

All 3 pieces of music offering up something different to the next, from tracks full of textures and groove to straight up
peak time techno.

Rico Casazza’s (https://soundcloud.com/ricocasazza) sonic identity is like that of a city, one which has developed an undeniable self-ness as it hosts various
movements and is rocked by various events, leaving a core self that is still open to change, but sturdily, defiantly clear.
The musical nomad focusses heavily on techno and electro, but he is more easily recognised through that
aforementioned, ineffable character, the humorously self-professed electronic emo; Casazza never fails to imbue his
work with a wistfully pulsating heart.

Kirk Degiorgio is one of the most sought-after mixers/producers/Dj in today's eclectic dance music scene. Steering
away from musical clichés and sticking to his soul-boy roots, he has managed to maintain his musical integrity over the
years Having recorded under numerous aliases including As One, Elegy, Esoterik, Critical Phase, Family Values, SuperA-Loof,
The Off World Ensemble and his current most expansive project, The Beauty Room with the vocalist Jinadu.
Having run the ART label and the Op-ART label in the early 90s he released seminal early material by artists such as
Carl Craig, Aphex Twin, Stasis, and The Black Dog.

Aubrey first started recording in 1990 for Sheffield label Ozone Recordings under the name of Panic. His music tastes
are very varied with his first love of Hip Hop as a teenager, moving quickly onto the emerging Acid House scene from
Chicago and then to Detroit Techno and New York House. A career lasting over 30 years, both as a recording artist and
Dj, Aubrey has toured the world and released music on seminal labels Metroplex, Ostgut Ton, Sistrum, Ferox and
Mosaic to name but a few.

PREMIERE: Rico Casazza - Transmutation [Murge Recordings]

In celebration of Bold Monday's 10th anniversary we invited two of our favourite artists, Le Cliche (Gerard Ryan residing in Barcelona) and Colophon (Bas van Vuurde hailing from Haarlem) to compose six exclusive tracks. We are releasing those tracks as a special limited edition EP on vinyl.
Design of the outer and inner sleeve is by London based MuirMcNeil. We are longtime admirers of their work and were thrilled when Paul and Hamish agreed to design the artwork for this project. Final mastering was handled by Marco Spaventi in Amsterdam. The resulting digital audio files have been pressed on 140gr vinyl by Record Industry in Haarlem.

The tracks on this EP can be categorised as contemporary electronic music with a clear nod to its roots, while both artists opted for a different emphasis as well. Le Cliche composed the tracks Francophilia, Ergophobia and Chorophilia inspired by experimental postpunk and early synth pop. Colophon on the other side created Monospace and Methods of Synchronism referencing the more dance-oriented styles from 1980's New York and Detroit, with the track 574 Mondays serving as an ambient interlude.

PREMIERE : Colophon - Bold Monday

Following a well received string of releases on ‘Analogical Force’, ‘Furthur Electronix’ and ‘Feel My Bicep’ James Shinra makes his debut release on 20/20 Vision. Shinra displays his musical dexterity and diverse influences across this 4 track EP delving deeper into the realms of electro and techno 

’Route 909’ serves up emotive melodies rooted down with a heavy kick before working the keys hard to maximum effect. ‘Flyby’ is a beautiful moment of electronic bliss reminiscent of the great Aphex Twin, while the acid soaked ’1111’ is a certified dance floor bomb. Shinra isn’t adverse to switching tempos and beats and can also deliver flawless techno. The cleverly structured and melodically complex ‘On & On’ rounds up the wax with a track that makes you want to drift away on the dance-floor, prepare to be transported to a future world where machines have emotions.
