DESIRES - KMS

http://www.mixmag.net/read/keluar-the-hacker-remix-premieres

Keluar's limited run 'Panguna' EP is a darkness-drenched dream with Lamar's productions backed by soothing yet haunting vocals from Zanias. The title track is huge but The Hacker's remix, well that's a different level.

There's distinct weight behind every kick, synth and bassline and the drops are ferocious. If you're a fan of the French icon then this remix will be another fine addition to your collection.

Detroit Swindle cap off a blazing summer as they return home to their own Heist Recordings and in doing so present a landmark 12” to add to their blooming catalogue. 
HEIST020 | Detroit Swindle - Circular city EP is out now BUY HERE https://store.detroitswindle.com/vinyl/heist020
https://store.detroitswindle.com/download/heist020d

This is their first addition to the label since the hugely successful ‘In Reverse’ EP and it comes as a package that fans both old and new will relish: a jubilant record melding the most groove-laden strands of Disco, Funk, Soul and House. Oh yeah...and to top it all off, the guys have collared one of the greats for a remix in the one and only Matthew Herbert.

Herbert’s remix adds a certain poppy flair to the original as it laces Zilla’s sassy croon with mangled synth blobs and hypnotic, circling samples, rounding off a serious coup for Heist Recordings and a fine addition to the catalogue.

Detroit Swindle - Circular city (Original Mix)

Jason Kendig has turned in a remix for Beesmunt Soundsystem’s ‘Sensual Works’ EP, which is due for release via Honey Soundsystem Records (aka HNYTRX) on Wednesday 12th October. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of the rework above.

Kendig is one quarter of Honey Soundsystem, alongside Jackie House, Josh Cheon and Robot Yang, and the San Franciscan collective have been on fire this year, opening Block9’s Genosys stage at Glastonbury in June, as well as spinning at Circoloco at DC-10 and more through the summer.

For Honey Soundsystem Records’ last 12” release of 2016, they have enlisted David and Luigi of Amsterdam’s Beesmunt Soundsystem with their ‘Sensual Works’ EP, with Kendig reworking the title track into a no-nonsense thumper with a heart of gold.

Speaking about the remix, Kendig told DJ Mag, “I wanted to respect the subtleties of the original, but still keep you locked into a hypnotic groove that keeps elevating before you realize you've already left the ground.”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Beesmunt Soundsystem’s ‘Sensual Works (Jason Kendig remix)’ above.

Stavlju Na Zero

Club life would never be the same again now that he had left the building. He was gone and so too would this place be very soon. The world mourned the last dancer, out the door he had walked never to return to a floor in which he had spent many a night lost under the glowing lights and disco balls. His movement had been legendary, the talk of the town. Now all that was left was an eerie shadow and an empty space where he had used to stand. This night was for him, they would move in honour. The night had only just begun. Let's ride. 

UK pioneers, rave fanatics and living legends 2 Bad Mice return with a bang. Social Sneaker Club release the first EP from the three since 2004 in what marks a landmark occasion for UK rave culture.

Gone Too Soon

PREMIERE: 2 Bad Mice - Gone Too Soon [Sneaker Social Club]

The warmth of the summer season had begun to fade. Soon the plains would be full of lush green grass and flying birds. Rainy season approached and the hardship of the drought was almost over. The struggle of a community stranded amidst the desert was not deemed important on the global scene. They were a forgotten people. As she watched the clouds move slowly across the sky she wondered when the first drop might fall from above. She longed for the feel of the cold damp upon her skin, she longed to come into rain. It would be any day now, but for tonight the people would have to wait. 

Arnheim is set to release a two track EP on the newly launched label, Baptismo Alpinismo. The label is an offshoot of Isaiah Tapes and sees Arnheim take an eclectic approach with percussive drums and subtle padding.

PREMIERE: Arnheim - Come Into Rain [Baptismo Alpinismo]

The opening month was always the most difficult time of year. The cold wind howled down the misty morning streets and ice lay glazed upon the concrete. As he watched from his bedroom window he looked down upon the people walking to work. Their lives were so busy, so rushed, so hectic, so tense. Some January this would be, the coldest yet they'd said. Up here in the far north it was hard to find work, or the energy to survive, let alone prosper during the winter season. Some January this would be indeed. 

Nekhsa delivers Spinning Plates' third release. The highly anticipated record follows two well received EP's which first appeared on the label back in 2015. The release sees the talents of New York's DJ Spider who ramps up the pace in his own trademark style. This one is packed with weird fuzz and sludgey undertones.

PREMIERE: Nekhsa - Some Jan (DJ Spider Remix)[Spinning Plates]

Deep beneath the sea swam the vessel. They were well beyond enemy territory now, they were fishing in the waters of the villain and if they were to be caught then peril would soon follow. They knew they should not have travelled this far but the sea can do funny things to peaceful men. They were looking to engage, to interact, to breach the peace. Many aboard the submarine had been divided upon the plan of attack but they all agreed upon one thing: the regime must be broken and its wickedness halted. The murky waters offered them an opportunity which ceased to exist elsewhere. This was the time. 

Gonima is the first artist to appear on a new vinyl based record label titled Slam City Jams. Operating out of Munich the label has been founded by the duo more commonly known as Rhode & Brown who have most notably released on Toy Tonics. The release itself is deep and elegant

Grids

PREMIERE: Gonima - Subdivided [Slam City Jams]

The weight was difficult to fathom. It made no sense, the collateral damage would be excessive and the result would be one of impending doom. The concrete glimmered grey under the floodlights, they sat perched upon a park bench simply watching the world go by. The pressure of such a decision weighed heavy upon his shoulders but she sat peacefully by his side as though nothing was wrong. Looking out into the distance they watched the flickering glow of the city lights, they seemed a million miles away from them now. Up out here in the distant blocks nothing seemed real, not under the weight. 

Malka Tuti return with a new EP from The Kloom. Remixes are aplenty on this one with the likes of Khidja and Die Wilde Jagd both featuring.

PREMIERE: The Kloom - 40 Gram Beton (Khidja Remix) [Malka Tuti]

This track first appeared on the "Black Celebration" 30 year tribute-CD, released by Sonic Seducer Magazine in the summer of 2016.

A Question of Time (Depeche Mode Cover)

The bank had been problematic. The hold up hadn't worked. Currency was such a problem to those who had little and a burden to those whose pockets were lined with gold. Their guns had caught the attention of the staff but had ceased to scare the office chief. He had refused to transfer the funds to the account in question and now they were simply stood like a pair of spares in the large empty hall. Marble lined the walls and the floor upon which they stood, this place made them sick. How could an institution with so much struggle to give anything back to those who sat outside the grand palace with nothing. It was time to transfer the currency. 

Gross Net are about to release thei debut album through Touch Sensitive Records on the 25th of November. Drawing upon elements from punk, techno and disco their output is inspired.

Darkroom Dubs follow up on their latest vinyl only project - Darkroom Dubs Edits by Skinnerbox - with a continued exploration into bridging post-punk and techno. This time with a new release from a rising star in Paris' blossoming underground - Parisian producer, promoter and DJ Id!r. 

Clint kicks things off with darting vocoder stabs and reverberated drum whacks that build a rich sense of space. A steadily punching Disco clap and distant, eerie melodies add intrigue before swelling, filtered synth tones suffuse the tracks distinctly 80s tinged track. Monday then melds sharp percussion with trippy, delayed signals and bold, marching synth lines that sit the track comfortably in big room spaces.

No Dust In Vain drives a purposeful thud through menacing guitar plucks and horror-movie vocals as tension churns throughout. Manual Music affiliate Sigward then follows up with his interpretation of Monday as he balances brash, thundering stabs against soft, mournful sweeps bringing a rich and varied package to a close and tying up another coup for a bonafide label with over 13 years experience in the game.

Id!r - No Dust In Vain (Clip)

track B2 from 6-track mini-LP Lucifer & Lust, released on 6 September 2016 / hand-numbered 10" vinyl & digital: https://electronicemergencies.bandcamp.com/album/lucifer-lust

Lucifer & Lust is a 10-inch mini album by Dmitry Distant, showcasing the diversity of his talent. The 6 tracks by the Russian-born artist who currently resides in Latvia reflect the atmosphere of the Baltic and the mystic sides of electronic music. Showing where his devotion lies, Dmitry experiments on the verge of techno, wave and industrial. On this mini album, he grasps our attention with minimalistic trance-like rhythms covered in fluctuating painful melodies, using wonderful analogue sounds and exotic instruments such as the electric violin.
