Inner Thieves Vol. 1 Previews

1. Turner Street Sound - Time
2. Mosam Howieson - Influx
3. D. Tiffany - Cast The Trance
4. Ben Fester - Tumbo Rumblin
5. Furious Frank - Blue Light
6. Makeda - Fable
7. Ben Keynes - Doordrms

Naarm (Melbourne) based collective Butter Sessions celebrate over a decade in business with an extensive glossary of talented friends and affiliates pressed on a three-part compilation series. The label has always held the community closest, as exemplified by the 20+ artists featured over the three releases. Each 12” presents a grand soundscape anchored into the tenebrous energy of the dancefloor, with its inquisitive electronics and fierce pulse. If there was a definition for the Butter Sessions sound of ten years in the making, the answer lies here. 

The final compilation in the series commences with Time, a masterful blend of mid-tempo digi-dub and two step. Mosam Howieson gifts us Influx, a thick and hazy wedge of techno and Canada’s D. Tiffany serves up the mechanic and restless techno on a knife's edge in Cast the Trance. Ben Fester delivers Tumbo Rumblin, a leftfield slice of intergalactic electronics. Meanwhile, Furious Frank presents the electro and acid charged Blue Light while Makeda plays with genre expectations with the experimental composition Fable. Finally, the record's conclusion is Doordrms by Ben Keynes; dipping in tempo with acid drops, resulting in thoughtful IDM nuances.

Second release of the year already from the party music people of Abstrack. This time, it’s Brussels based artist Strapontin whose original production is on the menu, with re interpretation from several gifted companions. The multitude here is no excuse for genericity or easy recipes, rather a fertile playground for toying around with a wide range of vibes and moods.
Matches is a poetic, sensual spoken-word piece. The song feels like a flower about to blossom, though with plenty of hybrid DNA in it. In the end it leaves the way wide open for further emotions to get through. And they do.
Sasnal Park is the emotion of wander : looking for something forever, but for what? The drums make you believe that you found it but they turn out to be a mirage, and so does every tangible element of the track. A beautiful journey in the end even if you don’t know where you’ve been.
Family Diner … no ambiguity this time : a mystical roller as dark as it is trippy. Or maybe more trippy. Either way, not sure you can resist dancing to this one played out loud. Lose yourself to screaming halfway through, but only to fall back well rooted in those dancing feet afterwards.
On the flip, remixers put it where they’re expected to : A Strange Wedding takes the wandering “Sasnal Park” on the Edge of trancy club music, closer to the roots of Abstrack parties.

PREMIERE | Strapontin - Sasnal Park (A Strange Wedding Remix) [Abstrack] 2021

Each morning we wake and go about our days in very different ways. Some may have rituals or routines that can't be broken, others may roll out of bed and see where the day takes them. But we're joined by a common ground - this earth is our home and we all survive on its offerings: "the soil that nurtures flora & fauna, the air we breath, the water we drink, the sun & moon that shine upon our bodies."

Melbourne-based producer Ruby Kerkhofs AKA Nice Girl has had a fruitful relationship with Munich's Public Possession over the last two years. First appearing on the label's 'Chill Pill' compilation in 2019, and its subsequent follow up in 2020, she then added a couple of solo outings to the list last year in the form of 'Take A Step' and 'Whistling Thorn'. Now she's returning to the imprint for her debut long player 'Ipsum'; a collection of organic electronic productions that range from meditative downtempo to sparse dub vibrations and hypnotic driving trance.

PREMIERE: Nice Girl - Cool Dudes In Hot Water [Public Possession]

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series.

100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies.

Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia.

NEW HIT: a.b.u.303 - Sayokan [Paryìa]

Standard Deviation continues its Vinyl series with another Split release, aiming to foster intercultural exchange, collaboration and friendship between Ukraine and the international community. For the second Vinyl project, emerging Ukrainian musician Omon Breaker shares the stage with Berlin based Mala Junta Resident D.Dan.

The Split format is a musical dialogue between two worlds, backgrounds and histories. With Mala Junta resident and Seattle raised D.Dan on the A-Side and Kyiv based, Dnipro-born Omon Breaker on the B-side, the record aims to reflect on both their individual experiences and musical journeys, as an honest statement of their current works spanning across D.Dan’s high-energy Trance and groovy summer Techno towards the EBM and 90’s style influenced works of Omon Breaker.

Omon Breaker - Misconduct [Artaphine Premiere]

With a fair amount of pride, Warning presents the debut EP of emerging artist JCow. Four fresh cuts that will stand the test of time. Opening with high energetic roller Magma on the A side, accompanied by Purity of Spirit, an uplifting basement Rave anthem. On the flip things get more twisted with Groove Ryder, a melange of funky Breakz, Trance and Trip-Hop. The Acid Fiend Mix of formerly digitally released Rave Patrol is completing this record with an overboarding composition of drums and JCow’s own guitar. 

WAR1204 will be out on the 25th of March 2022

Following his solo 12" debut in November on AC Records, Armec returns with a 4-track EP on Echocentric Records. 

The music on offer is rich and emotional, microworlds of subtle melodies, pads and sci-fi drones that ooze both melancholy and hope, and will appeal to anyone into electro, IDM and techno.

A-side is a nod to Robbie's IDM roots. Just check the expansive soaring synth-work on "Auden" and the analogue moods of "Conceptualise". The droney, murky & dystopian sci-fi soundscapes of side B offer another view into Armec's production work.

Keep an eye out for Armec in 2020, more quality releases on their way.

A1. - Auden
A2. - Conceptualise
B1. - Disassociate
B2. - Dystopian Reality

Armec - "Diametric EP" is scheduled for release on the 24th of Jan 2020 both on vinyl and digital formats. 

Produced by Robbie Mecrow
Mastered at Curve Pusher by Lawrie Dunster
Vinyl distributed by Shite Music (@shitemusic), manufactured by R.A.N.D. Muzik

@kaspermarott will release his debut album ‘Full Circle’ in January on his own Axces Recordings imprint. The album features 11 tracks that explore different genres and moods, while remaining within Kasper’s colourful universe.

Full Circle demonstrates Kasper’s ability to play with layers and structure. The tracks are built from complex layered harmonies, looped melodies and different rhythmic textures. Kasper’s intuitive approach to production, in addition to the inspiration he finds in other genres, his local community and society as a whole, has resulted in an album that feels fresh and unique.
