Begin Again EP featuring Liam Doc Remix | Lava Lava

"Begin again in this moment... Put your arms at your sides, perhaps take a few deep breaths, lose your focus in the process of breathing... You will also perceive bodily sensations and emotions and the full flow of your experience, simply absorb these phenomenon as they appear in consciousness and attune to the breath... It doesn't matter how long you've been lost in thought, just notice that in this instance and come back to the feeling of breathing, to the raw sensations of movement."

Up next on Glasgow's Sounds of Lava Lava is local producer Kieran Apter. He's the man at the helm of CB90 Dance Recordings, a label that's been home to the likes of Brain Dancing, Man Power and his own productions which touch on house, techno and acid. Now he brings a slice of the latter to SOLL with 'Begin Again', a hypnotic acid-driven cut carried along by raw, shuffling drum programming and a distorted vocal meditation, which is backed by a remix from another Scottish rising star, Liam Doc.

PREMIERE: Kieran Apter - Begin Again [Sounds of Lava Lava]

The third release for Sounds of Lava Lava is a Scottish affair with an Acid-tinged banger from rising star Kieran Apter and a thumping remix from Liam Doc.  Over the past year Kieran has hosted the likes of Anthony George Patrice, Brain Dancing, Man Power & Neil Flynn on his CB90 Dance Recordings and has been gaining acclaim for his forward-thinking and unique blend of House & Techno in his own productions.

Begin Again kicks straight into gear with shuffling drum programming and a brooding bass line.  Distorted meditation instructions ask you to begin again in this moment, lay your arms at your sides and take a few deep breaths before Kieran lays down a wicked Acid hook.  As the meditation draws you deeper into the track each new layer of the composition combines to create a mesmerising and tripped out cut which is bound to get any dance floor moving.

Liam Doc has been a staple of the Scottish dance scene as a DJ and producer for several years, gaining local legend status with residencies at RARE & Fly Club and clocking up releases on &Friends, Shall Not Fade, Huntleys + Palmers and Sulta Selects Silver Service as well as his own Eyeangle Records. On his Dub Mix Liam Doc shows his years of experience to create a thumping peak time club cut.  A punchy 4/4 beat leads into his chopped up take on the meditation instructions. Sub-heavy bass, bright pads, silky keys and euphoric breakdowns combine throughout the remix to make an undeniably ecstatic House groove.

Begin Again

PREMIERE: Kieran Apter - Begin Again (Liam Doc Dub Mix) [SoLL03]

Klasse Wrecks continues its expedition through the wilderness of early 2024 with a release from your favourite producers' favourite producer. Bufo Bufo continues his golden run after sterling records for the likes of Cabaret with a unique 4 tracker for Wrecks. Distilling all styles and influences into one record, 'Beelzebufo' sees the producer capture rare species of electro, breakbeat and mangled rave together...resulting in a supernatural sonic hybrid. Play with caution...the sounds you hear maybe devastating to your ear.

Devil Toad

Somehow Klasse Wrecks has made it to 50 official releases, not bad for a label that wears its ignorance for others and 'the norm' proudly on its dirty sleeve. Over the years the label has released a multitude of various sounds, spanning bleep, rave, deep house, down tempo and the 50th release does well to encapsulate that free spirit and openess. Without much planning and totally by way of coincidence the responsibility lies with label co-owner Luca Lozano and its sonically a typical mixed bag as to be expected. Kicking off with restless acid stomping, the title track barges through the door...knocks over a few drinks before blossoming into a breakdown that propels the 303 deep into space and back again. On the A2, Lozano shows off his love for creaky breakbeats and DX donks on a track called 'Re-Mix'...which as far as we know isnt a remix of anything at all. The flip contains more raving beauties, 'Save Me From The Rave' might be a desperate plea but by the sounds of it he's still enjoying the madness, the producer makes an epic breakdown that might well signify the end of all Trance homages. Then the final track of the EP sounds like it could be played in a field in Glastonbury in 1993, its haunting vocal harmonies signify the sun is coming up soon and likely that we're about to start Chapter 2 of the Wrecks Wrebellion. The special edition sleeve artwork features examples of previous artwork from the last 50 records, overlaid in a typically chaotic manner by the label's designer, PLANETLUKE.COM.

Label head Fabrizio Mammarella and fellow Italian innovator Rodion return to Slow Motion with their energetic single ‘Un Segnale Di Speranza’, a mesmerising precursor to their upcoming album ‘Musica E Computer’ recorded at “Museo Del Synth Marchigiano”. Another ground-breaking collaboration between the pair which again features Mammarella’s signature arcane arps and the sweeping, glassy harmonies of Rodion. Fabrizio has also pieced together a Dub mix of the track that explores the further corners of his sonic world, displaying his innate gifts for creating future classics. 
‘Un Segnale Di Speranza’ once again progresses their captivating, pioneering sound and leaves us eager to experience more of the new dimension they have entered.

Four Remixes from the new album of New York’s Phenomenal Handclap Band. The perfect band for the new „organic dance music“ and „Nu Disco“ wave.
Their LP PHB was a favorite of DJs like Harvey, Gilles Peterson, Artwork and many more and for sure the Remixes will be on heavy rotation too. NYC Disco legend Danny Krivit made a hot disco edit. Cooper Saver from the Westcoast serves a breakbeat club version that kicks ass and Ray Mang, London’s legendary man for effective disco and funky house, delivers a fresh disco version of Judge Not.

Thanks to his impressive knowledge of house music and carefully curated DJ sets, Kieran Apter has risen through Edinburgh’s underground to become one of Scotland’s most exciting talents. Since founding esteemed club night, Tweak_, in 2015, where he warmed up for Mano Le Tough, Seth Troxler, Moodymann, San Proper, Fort Romeau, Dorisburg and more, he has since elevated his profile to play across landmark European venues such as Wire Club Leeds, Sisyphos Berlin and Night Tales in London. 

Raised in a musical household, with his father playing in various bands, Kieran’s early musical explorations ranged from rock to samba, and he developed a love for hip hop in his early teenage years. From a young age, Kieran would make the journey from his rural hometown of West Calder to Edinburgh, indulging himself in all the city had to offer, heading to raves and falling in love with dance music while still in school. After moving to the city when he was 18, he soon became a regular face on Edinburgh’s underground scene. 

It's this exposure to music that has given Kieran’s productions the sound that DJ Mag recently described as “warm, cosmic and deeply emotional”. He’s come a long way from his early ‘All I Want’ EP, that found its way into the sets of Dixon, Rampa, &ME and Andhim, and aired by both Pete Tong and B.Traits on their BBC Radio 1 shows. These days, Kieran’s output continues to grow, with high-profile gigs and an acclaimed Boiler Room for FLY Club at Cabaret Voltaire, as well as starting an independent record label showcasing his work and the work of various friends and artists who share the same love for quality underground dance music. His label, CB90 Dance Recordings, is a passion-driven project, inspired by youth culture and a deep-rooted heritage of dance music in Scotland. So far, releases include the likes of Man Power, Brain Dancing, Anthony Georges Patrice, as well as his own productions, which touch on house, techno and acid. 

Kieran’s ability to seamlessly flit between genres while offering profound and thoughtful components in each track make his records as suited to the dancefloor as solo listening. Consistently receiving DJ support from artists such as &ME, Butch, Theo Kottis, Konstantin Sibbold, Jennifer Cardini and Sean Johnston have meant his records soundtrack dancefloors at clubs like Panorama Bar, DC-10, and Subclub. 

In the last 18 months, Kieran’s music has gone on to receive multiple plays on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Scotland, becoming a regular feature and gaining support from the BBC Introducing programme. He holds residencies at both Crèche in London, run by Alexis Raphael, and Pleasure at Cabaret Voltaire alongside Theo Kottis, Alien Communications, IDA and more. He also opened the Boiler Room Stage at last year’s FLY OPEN AIR festival. 

With a busy release schedule taking us up to 2024, Kieran has set himself up well for an exciting future.
