R$N Premieres: June 2016

The machine sprung to life with a great electric roar, inside it buzzed and hummed sending out an enthusiastic noise which echoed with a precise tone and texture. This was the flange factory, where dreams were made and the noises of nightmares echoed between empty walls as dancers moved back and forth. The lights began to flicker and flash as the electrical currents pulsed and vibrated with a scattergun sense of purpose. Soon they would be lost beneath the fog and the sounds of a world beyond... 

Lucas Croon is a producer on who it is wise to keep close tabs, he has released music previously on Themes For Great Cities and Aiwo. Now he lends a hand to a new split release on Feines Tier, an imprint based in Cologne. His track "Flange Factory" is destined to do wonders in the hands of well informed dj's.

PREMIERE: Lucas Croon - Flange Factory feat. Thimo D [Feines Tier]

Kate Stein makes her debut on Playground Records with the excellent ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ EP. The Australian raised, New York based producer Kate Stein brings a package full of hypnotic rhythms and beautiful landscapes for her debut on Playground Records. Composed of two original mixes and two high caliber remixes from Autarkic and Balam, the package is set to release May 13th. Our pick of the bunch comes in the form of Kate's original ‘Hi-Lo Motel’ - a track that perfectly showcases her ability to create tension and vibrant storylines.

In addition to Eluard’s LP ‘Dirty Hall’ Slow Motion Label head, Fabrizio Mammarella and Napoli-based Altieri bring their revered sounds to remixes of ‘Comic Bad’ and ‘Phonemes’. 
Prolific, sonic visionary Altieri reimagines ‘Phonemes’ with an explosive tone perfectly suited to the club. Using his distinctive floor-shattering low-end and arcane vocals, his remix erupts into the motif of the original after a signature powerful rise. 
Fabrizio Mammarella’s abundant power to lift originals to a bar-setting realm is in full display. His unmistakably infectious arps are in full swing, combining the enigmatic vocal riff of the original with his energetic melodics makes for another timeless reimagining.

Berlin Hypnotic House XXXI - Backwards Right Mix

The Scandinavian climate was brisk and fierce. In the northern parts of Sweden there was little sound to be heard as they stared up towards the mountainside. A tiny hut could be seen in the distance, a light flickering from a small fire ablaze outside. This was to be the place, the only musical landmark amidst the outback of the north. Acid would play, acid nord. 

Here is the latest release in celebration of five years of Power Plant Records. The release sees the likes of La Fleur and Acid Mondays contribute but it is the Knutsson/Berg track which we have chosen to feature.

PREMIERE: Knutsson/Berg - Acid Nord [Power Plant]

The crew had gathered amidst the sprawling estate. The smoke flourished high up above as it escaped from the heat of the grill. The smell of meat lingered in the air as the warm rays shone down upon them. Many beers would be drank this day, many memories shared. Music blasted from the boombox sat upon the grass. A barbeque skit played loud. 
Here is the latest EP to emerge from the Tartelet Records camp. It sees Kickflip Mike and Julius Conrad deliver a four track EP built for the summer.

PREMIERE: Kickflip Mike & Julius Conrad - BBQ Skit [Tartelet Records]

The secrets of the crypt would stand the test of time. The sirens called from the cliffy peaks up above as the waves crashed against the rock face. Boats would pass upon the murky waters but none would manage to charter the stormy seas. They would not get near, not now, not ever. Nobody would find the sirens crypt. Nobody. 
Released on Emerald & Doreen, Freudenthal unveils 'Sirens Crypt' featuring Kike and a Damon Jee remix. It is the Damon Jee remix which we are elighted to be able to share.

PREMIERE: Freudenthal - Sirens Crypt feat. Kike (Damon Jee Remix)[Emerald & Doreen]

He lay awake, tossing, turning. His mind was a chaotic blur of wonder and imagination. Never in his wild wild dreams had he experienced such obsessive fascination and experimentation. His mind was no longer his own and he was caught somewhere between sleep and death. The world which he wandered through was exciting and new, bizarre and full of enchanting creativity. Endless possibility and opportunity existed all around this strange landscape. Nothing was the same. 
It is exciting to be able to reveal the Adesse Versions remix of Dj Duke's Pleasure Dome project. He steps up to deliver a fast paced cut with lush padded stabs. 

PREMIERE: DJ Duke's Pleasure Dome - Wild Dreams (Adesse Versions Remix) [Minneapolis Exchange]

The clouds parted and the sun shone through from the skies above. He looked to the heavens up above and waved his hands in joy, somewhere, way out there, he had been granted by salvation by the powers which lay beyond our wildest dreams. He would have to count his lucky stars and pray for forgiveness. He was blessed, and he would walk the earth again once more. Salvation had come. 

Here is the latest release from The Body Language camp which comes from the land on the other side. The Australian based label offers up a two track EP from Leo James.

PREMIERE: Leo James - Salvation (part 2)[Body Language]

The chamber echoed with the abrupt, stark cries of pleasure. From the depths of the kingdom the beasts of a nation roared. Lions, tigers, and the animals of the free world had spoken and they would rise to triumph amongst the great plains of a country in ruins. The burning sun cast its beaming rays over the golden sands and the black silhouette of a burnt out tree stood distinctively against the royal blue sky. 
Up next on Throne Of Blood is Hardway Bros aka Sean Johnston. He offers up three dynamic, club ready tracks alongside a remix from Tuff City Kids. 

PREMIERE: Hardway Bros - Pleasure Cry [Throne Of Blood]

Jordan - Don't Go (STW Premiere)

The Amsterdam-based Filament crew have been contributing to the city's left-of-center electronic scene for quite some time now, enriching nights with regular soirées – where guests range from Maurice Fulton to Paramida –, hosting livestream events or playing one of their multi-flavoured DJ sets across town. Distributed by Bordello A Parigi, their newly-founded record label sets out to tell the sonic story through every stage of an event; a tune for every chapter from the lingering suspense and early haze of doors-open to the wind-up power-hour grand hoorah.

Next to the Filament trio making their production debut, the EP features tracks by Monty, Møzaika and Hysteric - who delivers a heavy-hitting Italo cut, with big stabs, drawn-out chords and a relentless arpeggio.
