FAT12inch 002 - Various Artists - Mathias Kaden pres.: "The exclusive Watergate 14 Tracks"

That Mathias Kaden definitely knows how to put together a complete mix-cd, is clearly on display for the full-blooded DJ and house enthusiast with the 2011 compilation of the Groove CD number 40. For the 14th Watergate Compilation he bounds an edition with a key set on CD with timeless releases and evergreen classics united. These function just the same in the club on the banks of the Spree just as they would anywhere. Not least of all to thank are the three exclusive and unreleased tracks from Rodriguez Jr., Marco Resmann and Christian Burkhardt. These are finally available on vinyl and can be acquired via Freude Am Tanzen. Made for the club or the best festivals and open-airs of the summer. House without compromise and danceable happiness in a four x four gallop. In short, energizing and yet elegant just like the sets from Mathias Kaden himself.

Dass Mathias Kaden durchaus weiß, wie eine gelungene Mix-CD auszusehen hat, stellte der Vollblut-DJ und House-Enthusiast bereits 2011 bei der Zusammenstellung der Groove-CD Nummer 40 unter Beweis. Für die 14. Watergate-Compilation bannte er Ende vergangenen Jahres schließlich erneut ein schlüssiges Set auf CD, das zeitgemäße Releases mit immergrünen Klassikern vereint und so auch in einer Samstagnacht in dem Spreeufer-Club sowie überall sonst funktionieren würde. Nicht zuletzt dank der drei darauf befindlichen exklusiven und zuvor unveröffentlichten Tracks von Rodriguez Jr, Marco Resmann und Christian Burkhardt. Die gibt es nun endlich auch auf Vinyl, erhältlich über Freude Am Tanzen, gemacht für den Einsatz im Club oder auf den anstehenden Festivals und Open-Airs des Sommers. House ohne Kompromisse und tanzbares Glück im Vierviertel-Galopp. Kurzum energetisch und doch elegant, ganz so wie die Sets von Mathias Kaden selbst.

After having worked on many large commercial projects throughout 2015 with Sony Music and Universal Records, being nominated for several Juno Awards, winning the SOCAN Awards 2015 Dance Record of the Year, nominated for Sirius XM Radio Music Awards Dance Act of the Year, going Number 1 on the Billboards in 5 countries, and having a double platinum record of my own song ‘Goodbye’ feat. Islove, it was important for me to musically reach back to my underground house roots.  Getting lost in a sea of A&R’s and indecision-makers, and going through an entirely new process of commercial record writing - with session musicians, vocalists, lyricists etc. - it was the opposite world of writing that I made my records (and success) from many years ago.  I needed to take a break and get back to writing these instrumental pieces where the riffs ARE the vocal lines, and the vibe was a sort of hypnotic mysticism mixed with late night mind bending chasers. ‘Into The Deep’ is a celebration of forward thinking progressive house music - a dash of eccentric and brash synth melodies juxtaposed with bright uppity grand piano chords and warped out arpeggiations.  This is a cohesive body of music here and I wrote this all from around August of 2015 until October (around 3 months).  The first single EP from this album is called ‘Into The Deep’ and it has a very rich sound to it especially in the baseline.  I used a custom series 80 Neve console to get that wide character and the whole piece just really glued together with my mixing approach on this one.  I love the synths in the midsection and the texture to those sounds.  Perfect for late night dark room mash out venues.  On the B Side is ‘Bumblebee’ and that one is a Space Ibiza terrace early night kind of vibe - big room sound, tight percussion and groove, and huge analog synth swells.  I hope you enjoyed this EP as much as I did writing it and if you can give your feedback that helps me very much!

Thanks and hope you enjoy the release


Best,

Glenn

Halal Seven By Katzele

2015 has @Ambassadeurs extremely busy with a slew of EPs and his debut album – “Patterns” released on Lost Tribe Records.

Now back in the studio recording his second album, Mark is dropping this EP in the interim to keep the fans sweet. He wrote these tracks during an escape in the autumn from the city to the countryside. The change of scenery from concrete to wilderness is reflected in the more organic sounds on this 4 tracker, which was written with the bare minimum of equipment to hand, even sampling some old cassettes that were left behind in the cottage where he was staying.

So while a simpler and more stripped back approach was adopted on this EP, it’s still distinctively his sound neatly executed to see a great year out.

Ambassadeurs - Kava

The wires in the laboratory were beggining to tighten as the sparks illuminated the darkened room. The experiment had been years in planning and many had struggled ferociously with their inner demons over the course of the project. The group of scientists had teetered on the edge of electronic breakdown so many times before but this was the closest that they had come to total catastophic failing. Would it work? 

Based in Brooklyn Chupacabras has found form on his tapes for Tutamen and his EP for Go Finger. He features on a split 12" with Brother Y and finds himself exploring elements of cosmic house.

@tutamen-1

PREMIERE: Chupacabras - Electronic Breakdown [Tutamen]

A long morning had left Philippe scratching to connect the sum of the wired parts together, to string them into a semblance, a structure. Cables had been coupled, triggers synced, matrix mapped. He needed respite, some food, some wine, some space. 

PREMIERE: Offset - Moist (Morgan Hammer Remix) [Factor City]

Radio waves that orbited in the dark spaces, secret frequencies that splintered the cosmos and rebounding beats that once snapped echoed into the infinite distance.

PREMIERE: Cannibal Ink - Sirius B (Timothy J. Fairplay Remix)[Melomana]

Cosmic blips and bleeps squeak as the moon glimmers. A pale beam of light glistens along the pier as the couple stroll towards the end, towards the water, those ocean waves calling out louder now in the moonlight than ever before. The tide brought them in and out. They gazed out towards the island which sat on the shimmering horizon, it was a silhoutte, an outline against the ocean expanse. Boats were leaving now and then, they would catch the next not knowing where it might take them, the risk was worth it all, they had heard the stories and it was time to leave. 

Simoncino is set to release a five track EP for Rowtag Records shortly. Here is "Il Sole Boogie".

PREMIERE: Nick Anthony Simoncino - Il Sole Boogie [Rowtag Records]

Recalling that his old friend Charlton knew the Roman emperors personally, Reagan called him up from the big red phone. "So, Ben, Nancy has been talking to some ol' Joanie at one of her First Lady engagements and she reckons that your ol' pal Caesar took advice from some of these astronomer guys".

PREMIERE: Chrissy - Presidential Astrologer (Savile Remix)[Freerange]
