electronic groove 2

R$N Premieres: May 2018

Adolf Stern - More I Like It

PYE CORNER AUDIO/NOT WAVING Intercepts split LP

Release date: 28.07.14

'Protect The Revolution' taken from 'Intercepts', a split album between Pye Corner Audio and Not Waving. 

Taking inspiration from the world of espionage, most specifically spy rings, both artists provide four tracks each, creating a thrilling musical call and response between these kindred producers.

Some of the world’s greatest espionage stories involve Spy Rings. From the Rosenbergs to the Cambridge Five and the Duquesne case, these are stories that haunt the annals of the covert world and remain shrouded in mystery and fascination to this day.

Clandestine spirits permeate these eight tracks of dreamlike industrial techno, impressionist synth burbles, fragmented post-modern ambient and cosmic sci-fi adventure.

PCA tracks composed by Martin Jenkins. 
Recorded and produced  by The Head Technician at Black Mill with assistance from Martin Jenkins.

NW tracks written, produced and recorded by Alessio Natalizia in London 2013-2014.

This compilation was a collective project....assembled by a multitude of different archivists in the community. It represents a sum of concentrated efforts of individuals in restoring old vinyl and tape. We centralized our efforts in collecting old new-wave bent to the synthier side of the 80's. There is also interest in the new artists whose obvious influences were to the analog and synth side of the 80's..... I hate trying to categorize these things....It has been tried to many times before.... However the artists that have spent their own money to put out a record or CD and who have labored over a 4 track recorder to get their ideas across to whoever might listen. Only to produce the best damn music .... never heard ..... This is the spirit we are trying to save.... Recover the lost masterpieces in the way that AMC salvages old celluloid film..... This Compilation represents users and archivists doing the same thing ..... saving the classics...... Please enjoy this work in progress and if you know any of the lost artists..... Please lets get them involved.....

The Lyon imprint @hardfist strikes again with the collaborative Princes of Abzu EP, federating producers hailing from multiple horizons. 

A hedonist move, caring more about vibes and feelings than borders and nationalities. Referring to a mythological source that is the sea to every river, Princes of Abzu is a drop in a global culture expanding its currents to infinity.   

Producer and percussionist @shadi-khries is inspired by the desert, one place in particular : Wadi Rum, in his home country Jordan. He mixes traditional instruments like semsemeh (which gives its name to the track) bouzouki and oud, with electronic acid textures that makes it perfect for the club.

The Lyon imprint "Hard Fist" strikes again with the various artists ‘Princes of Abzu’ EP, feeaturing producers hailing from multiple horizons. Although they may belong to different geographical spaces (London, Moscow, Amman, Tokyo, Paris), the artists gathered in the EP share a common love for middle-eastern sounds and their transcendantal powers, which they mix with electro,cosmic, industrial beats, creating mystical imaginary landscapes, as if bedouins were organising a pagan rave in a Dusseldorf factory.
The opening track "Place du Pont" made by the two label heads Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Rai, is built on a heavy, hypnotic, electro-tinged bass line heightened with vocal samples & oriental Oud sounds giving it a trippy flavor.

Premiere: Ko Shin Moon & Simple Symmetry - Halay (Cornelius Doctor Lonley Mix) [Hard Fist]

The power suddenly seized and the show came to a blistering halt. The cars which had been previously illuminated by the glow of flickering spotlights were suddenly plunged into chaotic darkness as the dodgems froze abruptly on the concourse. The power had tripped, it was a beautiful disaster as the funfair froze for a moment of blissful chaos and drastic hazard. Upon the ferris wheel sat dazed revelers who watched the scene unfold from a perch within the midnight sky...

Medlar returns to Delusions Of Grandeur for the first time since 2015 with a new club focused EP which is set to be heard across dancefloors all summer long.

PREMIERE: Medlar - Tripped [Delusions Of Grandeur]

There was a loud clap in the early morning sky and the birds flew abruptly from the treetops. They were startled, afraid of the rattling noise and the density of the sound. These were the days of thunder, a season of great noise and wild vigour which led to reckless actions and wild adventures. Travelling through the mountain region he looked out upon the road beneath him, it had been a long walk and soon he would find himself atop the highest of all peaks. If the weather allowed of course...

Beridze appears on a new compilation set to be released by Dream Machine Records. The Georgian label has featured the very best in local talent and the release is fifteen tracks long.

PREMIERE: Beridze - Days Of Thunder [Dream Machine Records]

The streets were alive and well with strife and trouble. The tribes ran riot into the midnight hour and caused chaos upon the boulevards. The empty alleyways became hotbeds of violence and hatred based upon territory and towerblocks. There was no rallying cry or roar of the siren as the police had long since left this town, now it was simply vagabonds and rogues who cast a spell of bitter rebellion upon young, impressionable sorts and innocent men caught in between the cracks. 

JAKAM appears on a new split EP for Lyon based record label and friends of Ransom Note, Hard Fist. He features alongside the likes of our own Timothy Clerkin, Shadi Khries and more.

Earlier this year, @c_a_r aka Chloé Raunet’s second album 'PINNED' was released to huge acclaim from the likes of DJ Mag, Resident Advisor and Trax Magazine.

The first of two multifaceted remix EPs out later this month, 'PINNED Up' realises the powerful dancefloor potential of Raunet's material and features contributions from the likes of Marcus Worgull, Bawrut and Lokier. @michael-mayer-kompakt heads up the release with a remix that unleashes the latent kinetic energy and emotive power of original album closer 'This City'. It went down an absolute storm when he dropped it at fabric the other month, and now you can listen to it above.

PREMIERE: C.A.R. - This City (Michael Mayer Remix)

There was a beautiful dessert sat placed atop the kitchen table, awaiting the diners to return to the room and embrace it with awe and might. A magma pie of the tallest order, a delicious treat which would leave them full for many days to come in the future. The room was dimly lit by candles and the environment rustic and humble, this was not a zealous feast but a polite meal. The baroque castle had become their home, a pretty kingdom with a wise old story.

PREMIERE: Wrong Water - Magma-Pie [Muscut]

There was a sense of happiness which travelled across the great square as people began to realise the circumstances which were set to unfold before their eyes. The toppling of a regime was no small feat, the king was dead and the revolution had one. No more drama, no more war... The time was now for celebration and prosperity amidst a new era in which strife and poverty was to be no more. The people danced in euphoric celebration and rejoiced together.

DJ Pierre once said of Hardfloor that "they make acid as though they were born to make acid." Well, the Düsseldorf duo are back with the brand new 'Lights, Camera, Acid' EP, and we're happy to announce that their talent for crafting earth-shattering dancefloor bombs remains intact. We're happy to be premiering the flip today, which finds Hardfloor ploughing more of a twitchy electro furrow.
