At The Dam

Mary Lattimore - Otis Walks Into The Woods

from 'Jörð' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den266
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/petrels]

Following on from 2015's Flailing Tomb LP, which appeared in numerous 'best of the year' lists, Petrels – the solo project of London-based musician and illustrator, Oliver Barrett – returns with new album, Jörð.

From the ethereal choral build of 'A Little Dust' (adapted from words by W. B. Yeats), to the euphoric aural scree of 'The Last Shard Falls', and the driving, long-form song structures, interwoven arrangements and mythological trappings of 'The Long Man', previous listeners of Barrett's work will find much to welcome in a record that builds on the distinctive, ecstatic Petrels sound.

Elsewhere, Barrett teases this sound into new shapes; 'Terra Nullius' takes an oscillating woodwind cluster and hangs from it a defiant and densely constructed (almost)pop song; 'Waldgeist' slowly unravels a deceptively simple string refrain in an elegiac and gently expanding, haunted pastoral arrangement; and 'Seithenyn Sleeps' encapsulates the joyously overwhelming live Petrels sound into a swirling, enveloping closer.

Drawing together the numerous strands of Petrels releases so far whilst confidently weaving them together into something new that promises even more to come, Jörð is another singular release from this restlessly inventive and inventively restless artist.

Since releasing his debut Haeligewielle in 2011, Petrels has toured across Europe and shared a stage with the likes of Tim Hecker, FIRE!, Nate Young (Wolf Eyes), Trouble Books, Demdike Stare, Nadja, and Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster). Having also collaborated with and provided remixes for artists as varied as Duane Pitre, Brassica, Talvihorros and Max Cooper, Petrels' output is proving to be thrillingly eclectic and unpredictable.

Sporting Life "Court Vision ft. Evy Jane (Actress Remix)" - Boiler Room Debuts

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

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]

FHUO Records or For Heaven Use Only (@forheavenuseonly-records) is a new record label founded by @Folamour, who is also a co-founder of the widely successful @Moonrise-Hill-Material and a very talented producer in his own right. The forthcoming first release is a various artist EP and is titled "L'Homme ne descend pas du singe mais du bruit” translated to Man didn’t descend from monkeys but from noise. The tagline on the Soundcloud page reads “no informations needed”, which we assume means let the music do the talking.

One of the four tracks on the EP is by fellow MHM co-founder Victor Dijoud aka @kaffecreme, who released Moonrise Hill Material’s highly sought after second record. “Baciami Subito” is proof again that the Lyon based producer and multi-instrumentalist is able to elegantly merge samples with his own sound to create something unique.

The release will be out in November, be sure to add this one to your collection as soon as its available!

PREMIERE : Kaffe Crème - Baciami Subito

The White Tapes EP of new @secretreels features three original tracks by Kian T (@kiantmusic) and a B side remix by Dutch wizard Daniel Leseman (@danielleseman), which we have the pleasure of premiering here today. 

Daniel takes the original, raw vibes of “Flughafen” and flips it on its feet into a clean-cut, sanguine affair. His signature warm chords and brassy synths are front and center, turning the spacey, atmospheric elements and twinkly keys taken from the original into complementary background pieces. A not too busy, club-oriented groove with hand drums, muted cowbells, crisp hats and jazzy rides gives the melodic elements room to breathe and helps solidify the track as one you’re sure to dance to in the near future.

PREMIERE : Kian T - Flughafen (Daniel Leseman Remix)

@tlimshug is behind the wheel for BODO004 (@bobby-donny) and we have an exclusive preview of the A2 track, “Wig Split”. True to form, Tlim Shug sticks to the lo-fi sound that has made him one of the well known names in the now booming trend. A DJ Smokey sampled and looped hip-hop vocal with a simple yet contagious and haunting keyboard melody form the backbone of the track. Low-passed hats and claps paired with crushed toms and snares form the no-frills four on the floor beat while a beefy bassline drives the song. An airy pad makes an appearance about halfway through, amping up the intensity as the groove progresses. Don’t forget to pre-order your copy: http://bit.ly/2dOSyZv

The molecules had begun to merge. Deep within the laboratory bubbles started to flourish inside the test tubes. It had been an exceptionally long procedure: months, years, decades of work would soon be completed in a eurphoric climax. The prize of the century would soon belong to the Napoleon science team and their hard work would be rewarded on a worldwide scale. There was very little left for them to do but to wait for the final compound to form. Only then would they be able to celebrate. 

Jay Glass Dubs is the alter ego of Dimitris Papadatos who presents an alternative narrative to dub as we know it within his new release for Bokeh Versions. Titled "New Teeth for an Old Country" the release sees him experiment with the realm of possibility as he strips down tracks to the bare bones breathing in new life.

El funk, el house y el disco fueron algunas de las razones que llevaron a Iván y Andrés a decidir, hace algunos años, en sus épocas universitarias, a emprender el viaje que hoy en día tiene como nombre Discoholycs. Un proyecto que rescata a través pistas bailables y frescas el groove y la excentricidad de los 70`s y los 80`s con un aire actual.

“Don Genaro Ep”, su más reciente producción, es un homenaje a su viejo amigo y mascota que los acompañó durante años. Como parte de un tributo que se le rinde a su mejor amigo, este Ep cuenta con dos producciones originales: “Don Genaro”, track muy influenciado por el hip hop ochentero, acompañado de synthes futuristas, y “Que es Funk?”, una producción, más cercana al deep house, con cierto corte hip hopero en sus beats. Este duo reitera su amor por el funk, a través del sampler de una entrevista del padrino George Clinton.

Así mismo, 4004 de México y los italianos Black Loops, participaron con tres increíbles remixes que logran plasmar de manera clara el concepto detrás de “Don Genaro Ep”.

El próximo 31 de Octubre, Nómada Records lanza el más reciente trabajo de este duo compuesto por Ivan Grndfthr y Andrés Tarquino.

_________________________________________________

Funk, House and Disco were some of the reasons that led Ivan and Andres to decide a few years ago, in their college times to undertake the journey that today is known as Discoholycs. A Project that rescues through danceable and fresh music that Groove and eccentricity from 70’s and 80’s with a modern air.

“Don Genaro Ep” their latest production, is a tribute to their old friend dog called “Genaro” who accompanied them for many years. This Ep features two original tracks: “Don Genaro” a track heavily influenced by the eighties Hip Hop and Funk, accompanied by futuristic synths, and “Que Es Funk?”, a production closer to Deep House mixed with Hip Hop beats and samples. This duo spread their love for the Funk by sampling an intevirew by the godfather of the funk “George Clinton”

By also the mexican jazzy man “4004” and the italian deep funky dúo “Black Loops” participated with three incredible remixes that manage to capture clearly the concept behind “Don Genaro Ep”

Out Now, Nómada Records releases the latest work from this duo comformed by Ivan Grndfthr and Andres Tarquino.

Written & Produced by Discoholycs \ Mixed By Ivan Lozano \ Mastered By Lucien Magual.

Red Axes & Naduve Remix Last Waltz on Tunnel Snakes EP
Releasing Next On Man Power’s Me Me Me Label 9th December 2016


The first release on Man Power’s Me Me Me saw FACT mag travel to Mexico to get inside the head of the Geordieman in Mexico. Next up for the label is a comeback record from Last Waltz, the trio with which Man Power first ever released, featuring three new, original tracks, and a remix from the first ever recorded collaboration of Tel Aviv’s Red Axes (I’m A Cliche) & Naduve (Disco Halal).


Last Waltz are Lee Forster (Lizards) Mick Rolfe (The Great Curve) and Geoff Kirkwood (Man Power). Outside of their solo projects, Last Waltz have released on labels including Futureboogie, Endless Flight (Mule Musiq), Tusk Wax, Lets Play House, Is It Balearic, and many more. After a two year break from producing together, the three North East England born producers finally felt brave enough to suffer the inevitable studio fist fights and tantrums that have always occurred during their creative process. This latest session has resulted in potentially their most cohesive and impressive output to date, with an EP that swings between deep excursions, psychedelic disco and industrial electro, only to have Red Axes and Naduve take the track into an altogether more low-slung and feral direction.


Me Me Me is shaping up to be an imprint for crate diggers, blurring the boundaries of electronic music and forging new channels for the dancefloor. Future contributions are incoming from Axel Boman, Mike Simmonetti, Chida, Fort Romeau, Hammer, Rex The Dog, Daniel Maloso, Last Waltz, James Hadfield (as Elizabeth Collective) and of course Man Power.


BACKGROUND
Man Power has risen to prominence over the past few years through a beguiling versatility that is eminent in both his DJ and production style, leading to key releases on ESP Institute, John Talabot’s Hivern Discs, Permanant Vacaction and Throne of Blood. He currently holds residencies at the esteemed Topaz Deluxe in his new station of Monterrey and at the equally chic MN Roy of Mexico City and his critically acclaimed 2015 album on Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant led to his title as one of XLR8R’s Artists of the Year.
