Smoke ebbed and flowed through the warehouse, engulfing all dancers in its path. Through the haze you could make out countless sweaty writhing bodies, eyes closed or heads down; each and every one lost in their own world. Their hips oscillating and swaying with every kick and stab that punctured the room. Their bodies were slave to the rhythms. 

Close family Timothy Clerkin pays tribute the foundations of rave music with a contemporary vision with his new EP Psalm. Set for release on his own Insult To Injury imprint, that he runs alongside us at R$N HQ, it features three originals torn from the late night good book. 'Slave Too' - which also gets a remix on the flip from Simian Mobile Disco's Jas Shaw - takes things up a gear following opener 'Psalm', bringing with it heavy breaks and detuned stabs that transport us back to the early 90s.

Exclusive: Matisa - I Need A Bit Of Poetry

Hailing from Florence cosmic producer Matisa only has few but quite sophisticated releases in her discography. Before taking you elsewhere the artists started her musical output on Optimo with her two tracker Organza until coming together with a bunch of other artists on Butter Sessions. Now the former Roman releases her first EP on DC Salas' and Abstraxion's Biologic Records, which simply goes by the name of The Elsewhere and portrays different episodes of a night (out). The EP jumpstarts with I Need A Bit Of Poetry, which is the most housey take of the three tracker. As the tracks kicks of with a  simple bass line and clap, which is accompanied by a single atmosphere bringing synth, the track develops to a multi-layered House-anthem, including diverse tonal variations creating a rather profound musical piece that has, as the track title suggests, a poetic handwriting and leaves the listener with her Romans-tic approach: a classic beauty. 

Matisa's EP The Elsewhere will be released on Biologic Records on June 12th, 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Matisa - I Need A Bit Of Poetry [Biologic Records]

Face down, cheek sticking to the hot leather, he gripped the sides of the bed as the needle dragged across his skin in a continuous motion. He grimaced as it scaled the bone on his shoulder, before relaxing the corners of his mouth back into a smile. Although the discomfort remained a constant, he couldn’t help but enjoy the thick black ink penetrating his skin, over and over again. For him there would always be pleasure in pain.

Predominantly known for his series of collaborations, most notably alongside Palmbomen II and Innershades, Dutch producer and DJ Betonkust has taken his machine-driven creations to labels like Dekmantel, Pinkman and 1080p. For his new solo outing he crafts four acid-drenched recordings for Rotterdam’s Bar Records that are tinged with the melancholic harmonies and bittersweet melodies he’s become synonymous with.

PREMIERE: Betonkust - Updating The Pain [Bar Records]

PTERO is a new single from Nashville-based producer, Body Copy, on his label Body Cuts. The track opens with a stuttering vocal sample that builds with percussion until the track drops into its deep groove anchored by an ominous bass line and heavy 4-on-the-floor kick pattern. Past releases from Body Copy have seen support from BBC Radio 1, Channel Tres, Diplo, Justin Cudmore, and the Black Madonna among others.

PREMIERE : Body Copy - Ptero

Artist: Teslasonic
Track: Obsex
Label: Nocta Numerica
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital
Release date: 01/11/20
Purchase: https://noctanumerica.bandcamp.com/album/singularity-nn018

The problem is not that the Singularity is simply humanity's departure from the forefront, but that it contradicts our deepest concepts of being. And the world of post-Singularity responds to a broader tradition of change and cooperation, which began, perhaps even before biological life. 
French label Nocta Numerica releases "Singularity" EP by Italian artist Gianluca Bertasi aka Teslasonic, consisting of 6 space inspired trax.

PREMIERE #1266 | Teslasonic - Obsex [Nocta Numerica] 2020

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/hardton, https://soundcloud.com/soulphiction-aka-jackmate
Track: Make Up
Label: https://soundcloud.com/freeridemillenium
Format: Cassette Tape, Digital
Release date: 15/01/21

Italian duo and biggest disco queens of the XXI Century Hard Ton land on Freeride Millenium with a superb new single backed with big remixes from Soulphiction, HiFi Sean, Super Drama and Box Office Poison and provocative artwork from Daniel Rajcsanyi.
Hard Ton are all about Sylvester-styled falsettos vocals, hi-nrg beats and screaming acid bass lines made on analogue synths and vintage drum machines which lends their sound a rugged and authentic edge. They are firm favourites in the disco world with releases on Rekids, Toy Tonics and Opilec Music that light up global dance floors and charts alike. Here they link with Berlin based American musician, singer and songwriter Snax to great effect.
The fantastic ‘Make Up’ is a cover of the 1982 gem from Prince protege’s Vanity 6, here it is offered up as a warm and steamy cut with vast rubbery kicks and big drum fills. Soaring synths rise up through the always dramatic track to keep lifting the energy levels and spoken words and yelps, chunky synth vamps and rattling hits all make for a brilliantly dynamic trip.
Philpot founder Soulphiction is a long time underground stalwart who flips the track into a deeper and more intense affair stripped of some of the drama and instead focusses on vast, funky guitar riffs that get you loosening your bones.

PREMIERE #1394 | Hard Ton - Make Up (Soulphiction Mix) [Freeride Millenium] 2021

Jerome is God. Jerome is Female. Jerome is Male. Jerome is You. Jerome is Me. Jerome is Inside but also Outside.

What began as a spontaneous, improvisational escape for London-based duo Jerome evolved into a tension-inducing and magical debut LP 'Moods'. Formed of 9 dark electronic musings, the pairing of Annalisa Lembo and Stella Mathioudakis set out to work in opposition to their classically trained backgrounds, instead approaching 'sessions' as a way to form songs.

Technoid mutations and chaotic, shifting structures become danceable industrial rhythms - one of which gets the remix treatment from techno-punk outfit Scalping's bass and production don James Rushforth AKA Exit Lights.

PREMIERE: Jerome - KoolKool (Exit Lights Remix) [Maple Death Records]

Logan wrote the song "Mentally Naked" for https://soundcloud.com/captainmustache , released on My Favorite Robot Records at the start of the pandemic. Running high on the Beatport dance charts, "Mentally Naked" release party in Paris was not possible. As an additional collaboration with Captain Mustache, VooCha sent over a song for remixing, then quickly filmed parts of a video in Hamburg. The song "Miss Your Boner" was recorded in a country house on the outskirts of Berlin. Nelly Ellinor's Purry Purry voice is off set by Logans trademark, below the relaxed vocal notch into an offset swinging along.
Melt down to the electro chilled sparkling hot "Miss Your Boner". We don't really know, is this a sexy, erotic song? Or are we being taken for a ride? Or both?

PREMIERE : VooCha - Miss Your Boner (Captain Mustache Remix)

Derecho’ sees the East London producer at his most experimental and unhinged. It’s a track full of energy and pulsating basslines, showcasing an artist working outside the boundaries of dance music. Speaking on the new single he states:

 

'Derecho' is a Spanish word for a particularly destructive or intense sequence of Thunderstorms.. Which seemed as good a reference as ever for this one. The track was conceived from an improvisation with a Roland TB303, creating many layers of acid bass-lines over a simple drum pattern, It's a reference to the Acid-Techno movement across Europe in the 90's. Who doesn’t love a naughty acid bassline?’

PREMIERE : FNP - Derecho
