The fourth release in the whypeopledance catalog comes from Montréal’s Laurence Matte, who made a mix for WPD’s LAYER series not so long ago.

Last winter, Laurence found the time to bring to life her introverted slow-burners under the spiritual guidance of legendary racing horse, Monomoy Girl. Another angel overlooking the project is Laurence's closest confidant for as long as she can remember, her grandma Louise, a character that comes alive in the EP's title.

What started as some of her first ever studio sessions quickly took on lives of their own and later materialized into full-fledged chuggers in a friend’s studio, buried deep somewhere in the Montreal snow in the dead of the darkest season.

MR TC and Curses read the book in their own way and take care of the remixes to round out the release. Curses transports us to New York’s Central Park sometime in the ’80s, where we’ll spend a crazy afternoon running around, and tripping balls. In the second iteration, MR TC takes the timid Louise on a healing path, possibly with the help of some acid.

PREMIERE: Laurence Matte - Monomoy Girl [whypeopledance]

The temperature had dropped considerably in the last week; the brief moments of sunshine that promised the beginning of spring were a distant memory now. The cold was blistering, it got underneath your skin and into your bones; it was hardly worth leaving the house. Normally, by this time of year, they'd be welcoming the sunshine and the long, bright days, but things were constantly changing. Who knew what the weather would do from one day to the next.

Montréal-based producer Laurence Matte is up next on whypeopledance's label schedule. Hot on the heels of her mix for the Lithuanian platform's LAYER series, she steps up to the plate for Louise: a collection of heady slow burners. Written last winter in her friend's studio, the track titles tip the hat to the legendary racing horse Monomoy Girl and the title track pays homage to Laurence's grandma. It's the latter track that gets an acidic remix from MR TC, while Curses adds his signature 80s touch to '105', to complete the package.

PREMIERE: Monophonik & Girls Night Out - Forests Of The Future [Narr Radio]

The words of Genesis tell us that on the "third day" the earth was created. "Let the water gather and dry land appear", this is how our lands were born? our commander Anatolians Weapons answers this question with a sound triptych that with hypnotic waves will keep you connected to our beloved dancefloor for a long time.
Aggelos Baltas is a veteran of the global electronic music scene, responsible for a handful of celebrated EBM 12”s as Dream Weapons, and a particularly heady and open-ended brand of krautrock as Fantastikoi Hxoi. His newest project, Anatolian Weapons, was conceived as a way to bring together these two seemingly mismatched concepts, with the polyrhythmic percussion and wailing tones of Greek folk music serving as their unlikely bonding.

Cosmo Vitelli presents MEDHEAD REMIXES a digital-only LP featuring remixes from his third album MEDHEAD, released on I’m a Cliché in 2022, which included five tracks created in collaboration with Dutch artist Truus de Groot.
 
Featuring 8 tracks plus an instrumental version, its release a year after MEDHEAD is an opportunity to close this chapter before the next one begins. It is also a reminder of the French producer’s love for reinterpretation, by playfully looking back on the album rather than being revisiting exhaustively.
 
Indeed, in addition to 2 remixes by Cosmo Vitelli himself, he asked producers he appreciates to pick a track of their own choice to remix, without obsessing on necessarily giving them a club dimension. His guests ended up exploring several atmospheres, with a varying ratio between ethereal and more dance-focused moods, sometimes combining both. 

It is always with excitement that Cosmo Vitelli remixes his tracks. Down The Hatch is given a “boogie dub” treatment, thanks to bubbling analog synths and old school drum machines, it is a catchy and funky exercise in less is more production. His remix of How Is It To Be You is an elegant exploration of disco-adjacent atmospheres and arrangements. It does a lot with just a handful of elements and functions as a kind of disco dub, simple from a distance and full of detail when closely listened to.

Andrei Rusu is one half of Romanian duo Khidja. His remixes of How Is It To Be You (one vocal version and one instrumental) are dancefloor-focused cuts, with a catchy vibe in part indebted to 80’s dance genres. Underneath the shiny veneer, ominous synths on the verge of dissonance hint at something darker, like the soundtrack of a forgotten giallo.
A long-time friend of Cosmo’s and a producer recognized for his mind-melting output that spans many genres, Krikor remixes 7 Foot Clown In My Bed. The remix sees Krikor in top dub form, with a 10-ton heavy beat, slow, and hallucinogenic. It’s impossible not to sway in slow motion while playing it.

Krokakai came to Cosmo’s attention following his debut release on Glasgow’s Insible, Inc. His version of Trichophilia blends a subdued post-punk approach with more modern production techniques. The result is ear catching and introspective, almost cinematic at times, while remaining danceable.



Up-and-coming producer DJ F16 Falcon, who released a handful of EPs on Notte Brigante and Association Fatale, revisits Down The Hatch. With a plodding, shuffled rhythm and a leftfield, almost IDM feel, this downtempo remix takes the track into a new, forward-thinking dimension.

Dali Muru & The Polyphonic Swarm, a project led by Enir Da, is behind one of Cosmo’s favourite album of 2022. So it was natural for him to ask the producer to contribute to this release, and he picked Patient Zero. Dub-infused, and ethereal but also focused on movement, this half-step version is captivating.

Froid Dub is a duo made up of Stéphane Bodin & François Marché, who previously recorded music together as Bosco at the turn of the century. For their first remix under this name, they deliver a langourously understated take on Just Like His Dad that strips the tune to its bare elements, for a dub as icy as they come.

Cosmo Vitelli will renew his collaboration with Truss de Groot in 2023 for a full album, and this year will also mark the return of his Bot’Ox duo with a new release.

PREMIERE : Cosmo Vitelli (feat. Truus De Groot) - How Is It To Be You (Andrei Rusu Remix)

Straight from Georgia, Yellowhead can be considered a veteran in the field of electronic music, in which he has operated since the beginning of this century. Even more impressive is the fact that we, at Humanworkshop, have been endowed with the immense honor of releasing “His Worst EP”, a fine blend of original synth sounds and digital drums, which will make any old school electronics lover’s heart beat faster.

“His Worst EP” features four tracks in an traditional electronica style, which would fit in nicely with the likes of Aphex Twin and Autechre, while at the same time having a very distinct signature which glues the whole thing together nicely, without leaving a trace of plagiarism to the masters of the craft. Fun and playful moods are complemented extremely well by funky glitches and wonky rhythms, oscillators and sample slots are being utilized to the maximum so that your ears will be happy that your brain has seen it fit to grant her a spin in your stereo.

Düsseldorf's Themes For Great Cities celebrates its 10th anniversary with a VA compilation of tracks previously released on the label. It was a long odyssey that opened up tons of talented artists for many of us, so we want to join in the congratulations and wish that the next 10 years will be same productive as the last decade.
"It all started many moons ago during a night at Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, where the courage and motivation and most important off all the music was found to start a label. Themes for great cities. That was 2009.
Fast foward 10+ years you have the most prominent tracks of that specific Düsseldorf based time period on one record. For all the already fans to enjoy in one ride and for all the people just discovering us, you’re welcome." - TFGC
