Automatic - Too Much Money (Benedikt Frey Edit)

Pleasure Planet's kaleidoscopic debut album has been a long time coming, but good things come to those who wait. Developed over years of late-night studio improvisations, 'Pleasure Planet' is an affectionate and colorful patchwork of the New York City-based trio's knotted influences that's suspended between the rave and the chill-out room, weaving glistening pads and chunky basslines into vocal earworms and warm, saturated rhythmic cycles. Bandmates Andrew Potter, Kim Ann Foxman and Brian Hersey enter into a lysergic dialog with their discrete personal musical histories, drawing inspiration from vintage EBM, ambient music and heady early '90s West Coast rave sounds and launching these classic elements into a transcendent new sonic universe.

There was an opening between the trees, an arena within which a fire burned brightly casting sparks and flames high upward toward the forest ceiling.

Shadows danced and moved in a circular motion, each swaying in time with the beat of the drums. Their faces were concealed by the darkness, for everyone was anonymous here.

The music echoed loudly, sounds of the wild. It bounced from tree to tree, becoming loud and relentless in the heat of the darkness.

This would go on all night.

Benyayer is set to release a new record on his own label. A bass driven affair which leans heavily into the UK lineage of the genre and reminds us why big soundsystems and the wobble of an undercurrent are all you might ever need.

PREMIERE: Benyayer - Domiray [BNYR]

RIDE’s Andy Bell, recording under his electronic alter ego GLOK, and the producer and Insult to Injury label boss Timothy Clerkin have joined forces for Alliance, a brand new seven-track album released by Bytes on November 8. The collaboration finds Andy and Tim with their freak flags flying, working in a freewheeling environment where nothing was off limits, with influences ranging from Death in Vegas and Boards of Canada to James Holden and New Order.

The woozy ‘Empyrean’, which combines the analogue-decayed production of Boards of Canada and the ethereal vocals of ‘Xtal’ from Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works 85-92 with a fizzing behemoth of a synth line, is a fitting way to launch the album as it was the first track they worked on together. “It’s basically a Timothy Clerkin remix of a demo I sent him,” Andy explains. “I can’t get enough of it. To me, it’s one of the best tracks I’ve ever been involved with since I started making music.”

PREMIERE: GLOK & Timothy Clerkin - Empyrean

The sails billowed in the wind. They were all that were in control of the ship as it moved steadily forward across the stormy waters. The sky was cloudy and dense overhead, it looked as though it might soon rain.

Up on deck there were only a handful of men left watching over the course of the boat. They were the ones that had to pick up the slack as the storm hit. Together they were responsible for driving things onward and steadily through the bleak, darkness of the night to come.

It was a wicked dance this. One ship upon the wildest of waters.

Terraflow is a moniker of producer AJ Edward. This time things get dark and heavy on a new EP for Liquid Memory Records as he enters more progressive, bass driven territory and delivers to wondrous effect.

PREMIERE: Terraflow - Pick up the Slack [Liquid Memory]

They were hovering above the ground, gravity was non existent in these parts and they were only buoyed down by the mechanics all around them.

Deep in the midst of space it was hard to reconcile what life was like back home. The people packed upon crowded transport, the busy offices, the weekend entertainment. Out here in the middle of nowhere there was nothing of the sort. At times it was hard to remember your own name.

Some could not even imagine it, the way beyond. Yet here they were…

The Jaffa Kid features on a new compilation, Volume 3 on Kulture Galerie showcases leftfield IDM and Electro through futuristic lenses. This cut is a spaced out, synth heavy Electro jam with raw improvisation and wandering tones.

PREMIERE: The Jaffa Kid - SH Holo [Kulture Galerie]

There were shadows everywhere, they lurked around corners and beneath the streetlights. Their wicked faces were blurry and dark, much like the minds which sat behind their pale shadowy eyes. There was nothing but negative space back there, buried deep in the recesses of their twisted skulls.

The night was chilly and cold, the sound of industry could be heard roaring in the distance. They were building and preparing for what was to come, for it could be any day now.

Smoke filled the air, it was thick and coarse upon the lungs. One deep breath might be all it took to send you into the great beyond.

JR2k aka Jackson Ryland releases a new EP of riotous Techno on Fixed Rhythms. Furious and fast paced with a frenetic energy and poise.

PREMIERE: JR2k - Negative Space VIP [Fixed Rhythms]

Hot on the heels of previous explorations of Hindustani, East Bloc, pan-Asian, and Brazilian cultural touchstones, Tooflie now pays homage to the vocal eroticism that beats at the heart of French pop music. The fourth faceless wizards once again bring their magical touch to uncharted musical territory, employing a precise process of cuts and edits in service of Toofli's groove agenda. The unexpected twist on the flip side blends breakbeat science with gentle digitalia, creating a unique mix perfect for the most sophisticated dancefloors.

PREMIERE : KRLE (Tooflie Edit)

In a small gastro studio selling fermented products, a biological revolution takes place. The good bacteria stop working and no more products turn sour. Danilas, the manager of the tannery, who has spent his whole life among the bacteria, suddenly hears their voice. They are angry. Bacteria are fed up with exploitation, want equal rights, and threaten the world: "People need bacteria, and we don't need people."

The fermentation process is vital for humans, but the rights of bacteria sound absurd. Will Danilas be able to make people sympathize with another species – an alien species – and its needs? First he will have to convince two members of the tannery syndicate, Fatima and Jie, who take a much more pragmatic view of the crisis. This story is a test of empathy for humans.

PREMIERE: Unwonted - Astrobio [Abstract Rhythm]

'Aimer Perdre is a movie by the Guit Brothers and tells the story of Armande Pigeon; the queen of shenanigans. In Brussels, she struggles to make ends meet because she can’t stop gambling on everything, always ending up on the wrong side of luck. When she teams up with Ronnie one night, everything changes – they win it all. And when you hit a winning streak, you have to know when to stop.

For Aimer Perdre, Brooklyn NY native Simon Hanes travelled to Brussels in order to work directly with the directors, synchronizing the editing of the film with the composition of the soundtrack so that both processes would influence each other. Hanes and the Guits spent 3 months working alongside each other almost every day, passing ideas back and forth and allowing the soundtrack to grow organically. The music is an honest representation of Hanes’ experiences over those months, which he spent couch surfing across Brussels, sharing meals and ideas with new friends in broken refrains of French and English – falling asleep at the Cinémathèque, and occasionally breaking into abandoned buildings…but thats a story for another time.

Throughout all this, Simon hired musicians he met in bars, members of the Brussels experimental/artistic community, singers from a choir that was rehearsing in the squat where the Guits built their editing room…All the while sculpting the soundtrack out of these seemingly dissolute elements and constantly blurring the line between the compositional process and his day to day life.

Finally the process culminated in hiring the FAMES string orchestra for ONE SINGLE HOUR (all they could afford) to achieve the full orchestral sound the film’s climax so clearly needed.

The end result, like the film itself, is a reflection of life – a hodgepodge of sounds, colors and ideas that come together to create a beautiful, unique tapestry, sometimes harmonious, other times less so.'

🔊 https://youtu.be/Ri2j5Lrcp8E

Tartiflux is a versatile mini-LP that weaves together many of Margee’s musical influences—downtempo grooves, 90s disco beats, organic house, and acid breaks—into a unique, eclectic sound. Organic textures guide the overall tone, ensuring that the groove remains at the heart of every track.

On the A side, the title track "Tartiflux" takes listeners on a progressive, groovy, and downtempo journey with deep bass, sizzling pads, and distorted guitar sections. It features a remix by NYC legend Justin Strauss, who adds a punchy, rhythmic flair alongside additional productions by W. Andrew Raposo of Midnight Magic.

The B side presents a dynamic lineup, starting with "Help Myself," a vocal disco-house anthem with an energetic rhythm, crisp drums, and punchy vocal chops. "Maanside" follows, offering a dreamy and melancholic experience with minimalistic grooves. The EP concludes with "Poomee," the darkest track featuring breakbeats, deep synths, and an engaging sonic journey through acid patterns and robust basslines.

A2 Tartiflux (Justin Strauss Remix)

Les lumières de la discothèque (Огни дискотеки)
Un verre de vin, une nuit magique (Бокал вина, волшебная ночь)
Un baiser sous le ciel en fête (Поцелуй под праздничным небом)
Voulez-vous danser sans regret ? (Вы хотите танцевать без сожалений?)
Jusqu’à l’aube, tout est parfait (До рассвета всё будет идеально)
-
Tout s’envole, Je veux danser sans contrôle (всё уносится, я хочу танцевать без контроля)
La nuit est folle, Je veux danser sans contrôle (ночь безумна, я хочу танцевать без контроля)
-
Les lumières tournent, tout s’envole (Огни кружатся, всё уносится)
Je veux danser sans contrôle (Я хочу танцевать без контроля)
Un baiser volé sous le disco (Украденный поцелуй под диско-шаром)
Un verre de vin, un doux frisson (Бокал вина, сладкий трепет)
Les lumières dansent sur ton blouson (Огни танцуют на твоей куртке)
-
Tout s’envole, Je veux danser sans contrôle (всё уносится, я хочу танцевать без контроля)
La nuit est folle, Je veux danser sans contrôle (ночь безумна, я хочу танцевать без контроля)
