feb17

2017

"Runs so deep it puts your butt to sleep", to paraphrase actor/musician Ice Cube in his seminal hit It Was a Good Day. And it is a good day for lovers of high-grade house music.

Szikra is Kornél Kovács at his most wistfully nostalgic. Ultra-smooth keys offset by noisy lo-fi breakbeats and vocals urging you to git fucked up, like Metro Area caught up... in smoke!

All the trademark sounds of the Barnhus massive are present - off-kilter playfulness paired with the cocky swagger of a south Stockholm roughneck and an infectious pop sensibility that lingers in your head long after the needle hits the inner groove.

The so-called Bónusz Beat is actually a track in its own right, sacrificing most of the hook and the vocals for a dubby smackdown ripe for adventurous dancefloors.

Young Stockholm producer Abdulla Rashim closes out the set with a perfectly horizontal techno groove, using only elements from the original production.

Got It Bad

Mix I put together a while back that never reached the clouds, finally seeing the light of day.


Downtempo vibe with a twisting progressive overtone.  Like in those precious few moments of bliss as you walk in from a long day and your mind is at rest. Before the rushing waves of emotions flow in and clouds of thought consume the void.

Ahoi.

»Ein Fuchs muss tun was ein Fuchs tun muss.« und so strolcht er in den Tiefen der weiten, musikalischen Wäldern umher, erschrickt ab und an die wilden Hühner vom Bauern oder lässt sich jagen, doch nur nicht erwischen. Ein schlauer Fuchs ist eben auch kein Rudeltier und macht es sich somit immer mal wieder allein in seinem Fuchsbau gemütlich. Dort hört er die Musik die er so liebt; die Musik, verspielt und tief von Unten heraus, denn so ein Mix muss fett (frei zitiert nach den Füchsen von irgendwelchen Beginner’n) ;) … ja, da fragt ihr euch zurecht: was hat der Käpt’n https://soundcloud.com/rolandson denn da bloss wieder geraucht? und was labert der kauzig, bärtige Typ denn da? … nun, dann will ich euch das gerne mal erklären; denn in so einem Fuchsbau, da ist es wie in einer urigen Kapitäns-Kajüte, es muss muckelig warm sein, es muss immer ausreichend Gin gelagert sein und es muss Musik laufen. Und da kann dann ein alter Seebär auch gut und gerne mal einen umtriebigen https://www.soundcloud.com/foxloveeeeee Freund zu sich einladen. Gemeinsam schunkeln sie dann durch das wilde Internet-Gestrüpp und nehmen Witterung, nach frischen feinen Klängen, auf. Und eben jenen dürft ihr jetzt feinst eure Lauscher schenken … Aye.

Rolandsons Seasidetrip 2017

Seasidetrip 97 | Into the fox den | Fox

The multi faceted functionality of the human spirit was a remarkable feat. The machines watched with fascination as they looked out upon the condition of those living amongst the sand. In the midst of the desert lay their spectacularly mirrored space ship, an entity in its own right and a strange spectacle to behold amidst the Middle Eastern backdrop. They pondered relentlessly the nature of such interaction between body and mind, yet they could not comprehend or decipher the orchestration of actions and which was a result of the other. 

Lockyear has received far reaching support around this release. The latest edition to the OTB catalogue sees him deliver three inspired cuts which sit somewhere between techno and progressive house. This one is good.

Wave Knowledge

PREMIERE: Lockyear - Bodymind [OTB]

The green grass blew softly in the wind and the woods loomed eerily in the distance. The sun set down by the wall as the last of the summer daylight crashed ominously from above. In the depth of the night this place would become a temple, a prism of chaos and the beginning of the end. A warehouse could be heard closing up for the night in the distance. The clatter of shutters rattled in the air as the lights flickered in the street outside. This was to be the location they had dreamt of. Here in the garden they were safe. 

roadman kicks off the new year with a release on Tact Recordings. He delivers two moody house cuts with rough edged groove and allure.

The Wall EP

PREMIERE: roadman - The Wall [Tact]

Sleep was but a dream for now. She lay upon the sheets wondering when her eyelids might fall hazily shut. It had been weeks since she had last been able to drift off in peace, her mind continued to race and play melodic tricks upon her every blink. The scenario had become repetitive and boring yet still it continued to plague her ever evening. She had always pondered the nature of life as an insomniac but had never imagined she might find herself in such a position. Whilst the world lay still, she was wide awake . 

Dirt Crew Recordings are set to release a new EP from Icelandic up and comer Felix Leifur. Based in Reykjavik he is an artist who continues to place emphasis upon the value in community and locality, there are a steady stream of musicians emerging from the area.

PREMIERE: Felix Leifur - Eyelids [Dirt Crew]

The stakes had been raised so damn high that his legs had begun to shake. As he watched the wheel spin he continued to count the rotations of the spin, praying and wishing that the star might land where his marker was at. The room had gone eerily quiet, or at least it seemed that way to him. He held tightly onto the green felt of the table beneath his fingertips trying not to blink. Soon the marker would drop and his night would end in one of two ways. 

Gary Gritness returns with a second edition of "The Sugar Cane Chronicles" for Hyperdub. He brings with him four heavy hitting funk cuts in his own peculiar fashion.

The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol 2

PREMIERE: Gary Gritness - Countin' Up With Starr [Hypercolour]

The temperature was ferociously hot in the dark basement. Outside the sun was at its highest peak and the concrete was smouldering under the blistering rays. Underground, it was much the same bar the lack of light. This was by choice and not an accident. Nobody liked to dance in the eye of others judgement, hence the shadows were best for such fun. As the room begin to fill it was remarkable to watch the people shed their clothes, layer by layer they became more free. The sweat dripped from above. 

Daniel T steps up with two tracks for the fun loving Cosmic Pint Glass label. He is accompanied by Lauer and Jack Pattern who offer a set of spectacular alternatives to his own arrangements

CPG007

PREMIERE: Daniel T - Celsius (Lauer Remix) [Cosmic Pint Glass]

The dancers are really the ones which push the beat. At least thats what they say. My heart tells me otherwise for if there were to be no music there might be no dance. Is it in fact the sound which makes the dancers move, or is it the dancers movement which leads to the production of sound. Such questions should not be explored too heavily, there was little reason to continue down this path of chaotic delusion. Instead she began to move her feet back and forth. That was all. 

Goshawk steps up with a new release on Hudd Trax. "My Heart" features a close friend of Ransom Note in the form of Astral T. Luxurious vocals with a warm groove.

These Drops Are Giving Me A Breakdown EP

Local Talk is a Swedish label known globally as a trusted source of timeless House music with influences from Jazz, Funk and Soul.
Whether jacking, raw or deep, each release is compiled with care and attention to detail, and one of the things that binds them together is an honesty that doesn’t follow a fashion and hype.
Working closely with artists including HNNY, Kyodai, Art Of Tones and Crackazat to mention just a few, the label has played a large role in many a success story. Last year Local Talk had its fifth birthday, but its strict parents Mad Mats and Tooli wanted to give their child a lesson in patience and said it couldn’t open its presents or invite its friends round for a party until 2017. Now 2017 has arrived, Local Talk is actually five and a half, but the celebrations can finally begin and this 5 ½ years compilation is the big present that has been causing all the excitement. Eagerly unwrapped, this LP does not disappoint. Once the paper is removed, the contents include a special ten track release, which showcases unreleased tracks from the labels close-knit group of family and friends. Family friends Art of Tones opens the release with an outstanding track, that full of birthday wishes and Jazz undertones kicks off the birthday party. Uncles, cousins and well-wishers from across the globe all drop in to join the shindig.
Many of the artists who feature on this release have been involved with the label since its conception. Those making their debut have been long time supporters, contributing musical gifts to mark the labels coming of age, plus show their continued support for the years to come as Local Talk continues to grow and mature.

Folamour - Mad King In My Own Kingdom

https://soundcloud.com/TheOtherPlanet's third release presents https://soundcloud.com/Worth-Way with a four track EP, inspired by his Australian adventures, packed full of poetry and accompanied by lo-fi accents and rhythms.

Just like the an unpopulated wilderness can at times feel 'other-worldly', "Signal's Weak" is anchored by an etherial chord sequence, which gyrates,  shimmers and stirs throughout the entirety of the track. The amalgamation of this, scuffling, swung, Lo-fi percussion and catchy-as-hell vocals, results in a summer jam which is as roastin' as the outback and one bound to light up dance floors a'plenty. Screw impartiality - this is one of our favourite features to date!
