Today, Desert Hearts Records holds high our brother in arms, Marbs, as he makes his debut on the label with his Tusks & Tales EP. As the visual artist for the label, musician, and founding member of Desert Hearts, Marbs embodies the beautifully multi-faceted culture that this community has come to represent. 

Tusks & Tales is a journey through the intricately introverted mind of Marbs, a delicate and sonically melding exposé of the highs and lows fans have experienced in his performances for years. From the uplifting lead and spaced out chords of ‘Tusks & Tales’, to ‘Loveish’s emotive strings and intention setting Ray Charles sample, to the ethereal warmth of ‘Pink Skies’ created with atmospheric pulls from Dark Side of The Moon, Marbs turns from light to dark as seamlessly as the desert day turns to night. 

The EP also helps welcome Barcelona native T CHES to the Desert Hearts Family with his late  night rendition of the title track - a head down, hands in the air remix of the inspiring original. 

"For my first EP I wanted to put something out that explored all the various sounds I enjoy. Not just deep, not just tech, but tracks that had a little of everything. I wanted the EP to embody many of the sounds you hear at Desert Hearts and the influences that brought me to who I am today." ~Marbs

By not fearing his influences and instead pushing them forth as the vehicles for expression, Marbs has created a roadmap through which fans and family alike can better understand his innerworkings - Tusks & Tales is the story within Marbs that is not often heard…

As &MEs last two EPs on Keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his KM034 for sure will meet high expectations from DJs and crowd alike. What should one do within this sort of spotlight? Boil up the same old formula? Milk the cow? Play it safe? Well, &ME is rather going for the dont overthink it and just do whatever you like-option. Which in case of this "One On One"-EP is a collaborative effort with English singer/songwriter-enigma Fink thats letting musicality rule over functionality.
The titletrack on A comes creeping over the floor like an ash cloud. Built up on a grainy beat-pattern, having all lightness dashed out by droning bass, before Finks vocals are exorcising the ghosts of a heavy comedown. "One On One" has shaken off the facility of peaktime-consensus, before the straight kick comes in, but even that unmistakeable floor-referral is invalidated by gloomy harmonies after just a few bars. An obvious move against leadsingle-standards, but considering its omnipresent dark narrative and ultimately condensed vibe, "One On One" is without a doubt one of the strongest &ME cuts ever.
The offering on B1 might be considered as a bit more handy, but still: "Cape Coast" is rather grooving along a serious jungle-delirium than delivering easygoing beach-pleasure. A lot of hissing and chirping and rattling going on in between dense synth- and bass-layers, while live-recorded percussions are escalating into frenzy. Tribalhouse of a rather demonic breed.
Finally, Fink is stripping down the original outline of "One On One" into a sinister and subtle Dub-interpretation on B2. Blurred delays, sparse synths and occasionally implemented kick-detonations, reminding of an alarmingly lowered RHR. Meaning even wider room for his charisma breathing croon.

The Martinez Brothers are absolute kings when it comes to bumping house music that possesses groove in abundance. Whether it's their own productions or their high-octane DJ sets, the siblings from the Bronx never disappoint.

Their imprint, Cuttin Headz, is the perfect outlet for this strain of rugged house that's brimming with attitude and we've already been treated to amazing EPs from Jesse Calosso, Basement Jaxx and of course Chris and Steve themselves.

Now though it's tome to see what Phil Moffa has in store for us as he adopts his Butcha alias for the '1001' EP. This one's had a lot of love across the board from esteemed selectors like Truss, DJ Spider, Leftfield, DJ Deep and Gunnar Haslam, so now we bring you the first spin of '6 Hubert Street'.

Premiere: Vincent Vedat - Sweet Agony

It can be difficult to mend a broken soul. It can be a struggle to forget. The memories of winter days past still glimmered faintly in his mind, a flickering dream which he struggled to recall in perfect clarity. He longed to be able to remember her face as she stared back from the path up ahead. He remembered the beautiful glow in a smile, in a wink, in a kiss. Most of all he did not want to forget the time in which they spent. He did not want to forget about her, he did not want to forget about you.

Based amidst the sprawl of East London you might upon an evening stumble into a party run by Let's Go Swimming. In recent months they have hosted the likes of Sotofett, Big Miz, Bell Towers and more. However, the formation of their own record label has since seen their relevancy increase dramatically. Doppelate is the latest artist to release on the label and he brings with him an expertly crafted blend of padded house, dreamy percussion and playful melody.

PREMIERE: Doppelate - Forget About You [Let's Go Swimming]

The blackness melted into nothing but a pale grey as a pink light echoed peacefully across the forefront of the lagoon. His brain was finally becoming warm and quiet. His mind was still, no longer pensive and full of sadness. The outlook from the boat was far brighter as they moved above the gentle rolling waves. He looked forward, no longer back, the past was but a blur which lay somewhere beneath the depths of the murky blue lagoon. This was living. 

IXVLF returns with rough and ready tendencies as he delivers a five track ep of wobbling synths and a distorted aesthetic. 

Involuntary Movement

PREMIERE: IXVLF - Acropora [Unknown Precept]

A warm air swept through the open window, the white curtains blew softly in the breeze. The white walls of the villa on the hill glimmered in style beneath the evening rays of the dying sun. Within the house she moved. A woman, a dress, a dance. She was a reflection of perfect beauty, a gorgeous vision, a magnificent dream. He woke from his slumber and this was all that was left, a fitting flash amidst the depths of sleep in which a perfect life was there. 

Carreno Is LB takes an atmospheric approach on his new release for hafendisko, a new sub label of the better known hfn. Based in the Canary Islands he encaptures a melodic energy commonly associated with the heat and warmth of summer. 

Preface

PREMIERE: Carreno Is LB - Woman, Dress, Dance [hafendisko]

A mysterious man, a monstrous mogul, a mythical machine. Mr. MM was the most difficult customer of all. He had escaped the force of the law for decades, some loved his raucous nature, some believed him to be a danger on the streets. All we knew about him was that he was a living legend, and by damn there wasn't many of those left to walk this town no more. He had become our idol old Mr. MM, whoever he was, wherever he was, we loved him. 

Dimitri Veimar is taking step by step to notoriety with a recent string of interesting releases. His latest output appears on Renate Schallplaten, the record label run by the infamous Berlin nightlife hostpot known for debauchery and intrigue. 'Lazy Trance' offers a spectacular soundtrack to such antics. 

Lazy Trance

PREMIERE: Dimitri Veimar - MM [Renate Schallplaten]

The mysterious villain had been terrorising the town for decades. Al Shark was his name, and he was a bad ass bandit with a temper like a rocket ship. His crimes we perilous and terrible, his heart cold and hard as stone. However, this time he had gone too far, it was time for the town to fight back against his vile presence. Within the saloon they gathered, ready to drive him out of town. In the distance a hawk could be heard crying, it was time to run the road. The sands roared wild. 

Kalbata is the co founder behind Fortuna Records. He delivers a middle eastern inspired techno collage with mythical properties. Experimental music for body and soul.

PREMIERE: Kalbata - Al Shark [Fortuna Records]

The Twirl family continues to successfully expand well into its second year as a sought after imprint. The first year of releases from label runners Shaun J. Wright & Alinka featured remixes from the likes of Kim Ann Foxman, JD Samson, Snuff Crew and Lil’ Mark, with support from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac and Heidi, alongside notable artists Kenny Glasgow, Groove Armada and Robert Owens. The second year of releases has included the critically lauded “ILL City Exit” EP from Spatial Awareness and the stellar “Don’t Fight It” from Stereogamous featuring Shaun J. Wright. Next up is a stunning EP from Berlin based DJ, producer and Mint co-founder Ena Lind.
The release opens with the original mix of the title track “The WisdomTo Know The Difference”, a sweeping house groove with funky tribal rhythms, luscious yet sharp strings, and punchy rave stabs. Lind’s expertise as a dancefloor maestro truly shines through in this epic, peak- hour floor filler.
DJ and production veteran Anna Leopolder turns the original inside-out with her dark, brooding remix. Filled with tense pads and a chunkier bassline, Leopolder’s remix skillfully maintains the original’s vibrant urgency while winding the listener deeper into the depths of the night.
Next up is “Sadie”, a warm, classic house number with haunting synths, a bubbling bassline and emotive, Latin flavored percusision. This sinewy track winds slyly around the dancefloor before enveloping dancers in its rapturous peaks.
Jacktone Records co-runner Doc Sleep develops upon the original’s haunting elements by reimagining the tune into a stomping, sinister techno banger. Her aggressive and funky workout cleverly slithers and builds, superbly rounding out this incredible package.

Reinhold Niebuhr famously once said, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Pretty existential stuff to introduce the new release on Alinka Ratner and ex-Hercules and Love Affair member Shaun J. Wright’s excellent Twirl Recordings, but as with previous successes, ILL City Exit EP by UK producer Spatial Awareness and the equally impressive ‘Don’t Fight It’ from Stereogamous feat. Shaun J. Wright, Ena Lind’s debut EP is an absolutely brilliant piece of dance floor weaponry and it’s out on 29th September from all good retailers

Featuring 2 originals: ‘The Wisdom To Know The Difference’ and personal favourite ‘Sadie’ the pack is rounded out by two spectacular remixes, and clearly demonstrates Ena is no one trick pony. Berlin-based (as so many are these days) Ms Lind has forged a very productive DJ career already as the founder of local night, Mint along with a seriously busy schedule DJing around her hometown and beyond. Now, with new focus on production, The Wisdom To Know The Difference is her first foray into the world of music retail, and what an entrance it is. The title track leads with a simple, yet effective off-beat hat and bongo pattern adding depth and extra percussion elements along the way. The bass is sparse and timely creating a patient groove and with the addition of classically ravey orchestral stabs, a thing of beauty unfolds. Dance music veteran and fellow Berlin native, Anna Leopolder takes things deliciously dark, paying more attention to smoothing out the groove and making it more, dare I say, progressive in nature. The resulting remix is a broody and epic synthathon full of power and emotion.

Sadie begins with a winsome pad and grubby 90s bass drum, and as the elements slowly fade into hearing range, I’m transported to a dark and dirty warehouse late at night in a less than reputable part of town. I imagine staring down at my phone as it’s dim light tells me I ought to be home in bed by now but secretly, I’m glad I’m not. Around the mid way point the track jumps into life with a nagging violin loop sample made into a pad and some insistent hat lines. The break shortly after gives welcome respite before we launch into the second half of the track and more late night warehouse grooving. Of the two originals, this one tells me a story and I’d say more likely the kind of track I would play: It’s a grower. Finishing up proceedings, Jacktone Records co-runner Doc Sleep takes things in an altogether different direction. More stomp than schmooze, her rendition strips away the essence of the original to create an honest if raw techno workout.

Decoded Magazine Premiere: Ena Lind - Sadie - TWIRL010

Ena Lind - The Wisdom To Know The Difference (Anna Leopolder Remix) - TWIRL010

With knowledge comes the key to success. However, the definition of success is a variable to each and every man. On which path you choose to walk is entirely up to you, seek the wisdom to know the difference and you will do just fine. The fields might be greener on the other side of the distant hill, the path you may tread may be worn and tired, keep the faith, follow your soul and move on forward. 

Alinka's record label Twirl has been on a run of form as of late, it corresponds directly with her own musical output as a producer and DJ. Her recent mix for Ransom Note proved testament to that. The next release on the label comes from Ena Lind who delivers a jacked up assortment of house built straight for the club. 

PREMIERE: Ena Lind - The Wisdom To Know The Difference [Twirl]
