Boris Brejcha - Lost Memory

We're proud to present fresh club music styles for 2014 in the form of Jubilee's "Pull Ova", the new EP from Mixpak's Miami-to-Brooklyn transplant. "Pull Ova" connects the dots between cultures and genres in a way that is intuitive to Jubilee's history as a producer and DJ.

The A side “I-95” slams Jubilee's Miami Bass roots into a new dimension, cutting up iconic vocal signifiers and injecting them with a heavy dose of Brooklyn bass. The end result is a track that’s both timeless and right on time for the contemporary dancefloor.
On the flipside, "Pull Ova" feels like a lost 90's Armand Van Helden remix of a Miami Bass track, twisting snatches of diva vocals around a rugged bassline and freakout party sirens. This is party music for a new generation; jam it in your jeep on the way to the club.

Meanwhile, Salva gives "I-95" the dusted hard house treatment, banging the box in a way that recalls classic 90's labels like Dance Mania and Underground Construction but flipped with the modern DJ in mind. All three tracks on "Pull Ova" push the game forward without forgetting where it started. Only on Mixpak.

Old Money - Mothership (Lamin Fofana Remix)

Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12” releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with “Drop The Vowels”, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013 / early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response.

Opener GIF RIFF brings to life a Gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed ‘Stay Ugly’ breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between Richard D James and Jai Paul. “Temper Tantrum” and “Spectral Source” follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EP’s respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake’s mighty ‘Madmen’. ‘Corrosive’ flits between a fillibrating, arpeggiated steppers rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while ‘Drop The Vowels’ further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer “Back Down” provides pure percussive abandon. Quay ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings.

The first single to be taken from The Emperor Machine's new album is 'RMI All I Want' and the synth-laden extravaganza oozes funk from the off. It comes with two blinding remixes from up-and-comer Dimitri Veimar and Phantasy head Erol Alkan. We're proud to present the premiere of the latter's.

A name synonymous with dance music and UK music culture, Erol Alkan is widely regarded as one of the world's best remixers, with his edits gaining worldwide love and support. Here he prolongs the robotic synths throughout and turns the track into a dancefloor-ready roller.

Premiere: The Emperor Machine 'RMI Is All I Want' (Erol Alkan's Extended Rework)

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

@alli-bor-m Alli Borem, the Italian Tech-house don who leapt into action three years ago with a huge debut on Desolat is back in top form with three club weapons for Turbo.

Italian acid-tech-house for dancefloors everywhere:

Continuum Gate is a huge, super-effective DJ tool. A wonky acid top-line hovers over rolling, Spastik-style percussion (which everyone loves)... add in massive kicks and a gritty ride and BOOM, the party gets pazzo. 'Children of the Heart' tweaks the reverb and flecks the resonant acid all over your mind... it sounds like Daniel Avery, dipped in tiramisu. Finally, 'Turbo Rolling Ride' ups the jack quotient, with pumping snares punctuating an infinitely grooving bassline.

Solid, playable bombs. 

Release date: November 17, 2014

Hungry Music has the kind of waterproof musical aesthetic that not many labels with under twenty releases under their belt have. The output is bold and atmospheric at same time. Travels through misty soundscapes are just one of their trademarks. The french label established its sound through a close circle of friends - namely, Worakls, N’to & Joachim Pastor.

It’s now time to let some of the most powerful recent releases get re-interpreted through six exclusive remixes.

The Hungry gang took on each others work and also invited luminaries and friends of the label such as Oliver Koletzki, Einmusik and Boris Brejcha to provide a mix for the first in a series of upcoming remix EPs.

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-wav-fuzz-way-down-to-psili-ammos

We're proud to present @wave-fuzz's kosmische-infused 'Way Down To Psili Ammos' in full, exclusive stream. A subtle drumwork pulses a brittle beat whilst vibey pads and fizzy synth accents expel their prismatic beauty in full effect, giving off the kind of entrancing feel that would resuscitate the most bushed of all party animals. Better wear your sunglasses at night.

Kalbata - "Al Shark (Part 2)" - Boiler Room Debuts

A time of change had begun and the landscape of the dusty planet would become moist and murky. This was a transitional period for Neptune and the climate would begin its evolutionary process. It was time for the spaceship to leave this place and embark upon unchartered land, Neptune was no longer safe any more. Fly high they must between the stars of the black night. It was time for an exploration...

Lou Karsh is a producer who operates out of Melbourne in Australia. He himself is the owner and founder of LKR Records upon which he has released his own take upon acid house and techno.

Tribal Transition Ep

PREMIERE: Lou Karsh - Transitional [LKR]

The pieces of paper stuck together with thin promise. The array of colours were scattered upon the canvas, the glue shimmering beneath the glow of the spotlight. She took a step backwards from her beautiful creation and pondered what to do next. The paintbrush was invitingly close but she felt the need to show restraint before elaborating upon what was already there. All of a sudden the phone began to ring abruptly next door, its sharp shrill cut through the silence. 

Tambien features as part of a new split EP from Public Possession. The label delivers four tracks of oddball dance music with appearances from Obalski, Rhode & Brown, Mr. Tophat and more.

PREMIERE: Tambien - Collagelinger [Public Possession]

The water rattled softly against the base of the bath tub. The shower-head spluttered from up high above, the liquid began to trickle down the drain to a land beyond the realm of sight and into the darkness. Nobody knew where the flow may end, the endless pipeline rattled beneath the walls of the old crooked building. The framework echoed loudly, the bricks had stood for decades. 

More Rice is a brand new label based in South East Asia. The aim of the label is to showcase sounds from musicians of Asian descent, seeking to expose their music to new audiences in Europe and beyond.

PREMIERE: Tarsius - Trickle Down [More Rice]

The dark voices left him vulnerable. It were as if there was some devilish ghoul sat perched upon his right shoulder whispering ominously into his ear. As he marched through town he began to ponder why it was such that he should be plagued with this mystical creature upon his back. Others claimed to carry demons yet they knew little of the perilous villain which lived within his crooked mind. The sun glimmered in the distance and the concrete stomped beneath. 

Mike Midnight features on a new EP from up and coming Australian record label Plaza. He is accompanied by tracks from Atripat, Consulate and Lanngman.

PREMIERE: Mike Midnight - cL cL [Plaza]

The restaurant was packed and whirring with the sounds of life. Tables lay scattered across the room as the evening drew to a frantic close. Dancers leapt from the chairs embracing the noise of the midnight escapades. The lighting was dim as groups began to twist and turn it time with the ludicrous melody blaring from the stand alone speaker. It was as if someone had blessed this place with the gift of sound, a divine rebirth. 

Stevie R & Delfin are joined by Greg Rawson on a new track set to be released on Chapter 24 records. The release is expected to land on the 7th of July.

PREMIERE: Stevie R & Delfin Feat. Greg Rawson - Jalemba [Chapter 24]

The binary form was not one with which she stereotypically aligned. As she moved fluently beneath the crowd of party goers and distant revellers she began to question the theory of her own rational existence and her place upon this sweet earth. Her gender was irrelevant for she was empowered and fearless, mighty and fierce. The clouds parted and the sunlight radiantly shone through the black, murky shadows. In the glow she began to dance.

Skinnerbox deliver a new EP on Turbo Recordings, a club focussed record with quite a punch. The pair are remixed by Swedish stalwart Axel Boman.

PREMIERE: Skinnerbox - Gender (Axel Boman Remix)[Turbo]

He began to walk upon the tightrope which was suspended delicately between the two skyscrapers. Down on the ground below the people looked like tiny ants, a small world far, far away. His balancing act was intricate and neat. It was a case of precision, to thread the needle was no easy feat, a performance which was a lifetimes work. 

James Welsh is perhaps better known under his former alias as Kamera. The producer has formed a close relationship with the Phantasy record label run by Erolk Alkan. He returns with a new two track EP which is set for release on the 21st of July later this month.
