PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-mono-enzyme-307-inner-skill

Effusive acid heater 'Inner Skill' roots deep into off-kilter psychotropic grounds. Interlocking helter-skelter 303 lines with screeching keyboards gone astray, it's a frantic safari ride across a lost mystic jungle ; colours and shapes flickering dangerously as the rhythm revs up and totemic percussions hammer out a fierce archaic pulse. Savage.

Dark Sky - Voim

"Pluto explores a side of me that doesn't come out very often," Brian Cid says of the title track. "A deep, emotional piece that brings up my darkest, yet most sensitive memories. It's this state of mind where the title ultimately originates from as it's the furthest and coldest planet of our solar system." Out on microcastle on April 7

Premiere: The Foreigners - Existence Itself [Submarine Vibes]

'Le Temple de Renca' is an hommage to the Amazon rainforest - an attempt at amplifying the voices of this majestic ecosystem and its citizen.

The Renca Reserve in Brazil is one of the most diverse and untouched jungles in the world. It is now under threats of deforestation by greedy individuals, blinded by the monetary interests of the mining industry. 

« Renca reserve in the eastern Amazon is home to the indigenous Aparai, Wayana and Wajapi tribes as well as vast swaths of untouched forest, covering more than 46,000 square kilometres.

Renca contains important reserves of gold, manganese, iron and copper which until now have been available only to relatively low-level state-owned mining. Illegal miners also operate in the area.»  

Let's be the change we want to see in this world. 

Let's love our home and respect it, one action at a time. 

Thank you for listening,

Kora

Before performing with the Shoghaken Ensemble, Harutyunyan performed as a soloist with the Agunk Ensemble (founded by Hayrik Mouradian) of Armenian National Radio in Armenia, Europe, and the Soviet Union. With Shoghaken, she has performed in Armenia, France (including a 2006 performance at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris), Germany, Estonia, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S. (including an eighteen-concert 2004 tour and an appearance at the 2002 Folklife Festival as part of the Silk Road project organized by Yo Yo Ma). In 2008, Shoghaken gave concerts during their second major tour of the US and Canada; the tour coincided with the release of the ensemble’s latest CD, Shoghaken Ensemble: Music From Armenia. Harutyunyan has also recorded with the Ensemble Karot. In April 2009, Hasmik gave a concert of traditional Armenian lullabies at the Giving Voice festival in Wroclaw, Poland, as well as conducting workshops in Armenian folk singing and dancing.

In 2010, she performed with Shoghaken and gave a workshop on Armenian folk song and dance in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Harutyunyan graduated from the Yerevan State Pedagogical University and the Department of Vocal Music at the Arno Babajanian School of Music, majoring in opera.

Jack Essek - Mystic Voice (original mix)

High quality house music is, no doubt, a specialty of Kerri Chandler’s, and his groove infused ‘Get Out’ is no exception. A powerful remix package is on its way for Kerri’s own Madhouse Records via his Matrix alias, and Mixmag has grabbed the Detroit Swindle take, which rewinds it all the way back with the infectious vocal samples from the original released all the way back in 1992 on Madhouse. The remix package, along with takes from Peggy Gou, Josh Butler and Jimpster, is out February 9.

Premiere: Matrix 'Get Out' (Detroit Swindle Remix)

The mighty jungle cat roared with abandonment and pride as he ran free from the towering walls of the zoo which had kept him imprisoned for so long. It was no problem that he might never return, the wind blew prominently against his fur as he darted between the trees under the glow of the moonlight. It was desperately cold under the chill of winter but that had been the incentive for a fantastic escape, a driving force behind the evacuation which had been coming for oh so long. 

Apres Ski appears on a new compilation set for release on the 13th of March later this month. He features alongside an array of Irish counterparts on the first compilation being released by Dublin Digital Radio, a station which has championed up and coming Irish talent across the breadth of electronic music.

PREMIERE: Apres Ski - No Prob [Dublin Digital Radio]

This was to be the first time that laboratory would be open to the public and the outside world. The walls were glimmering a pristine white tint whilst the greenery of the plant life which lurked behind the glass windows acted as a stark yet beautiful contrast to the clinicality of the environment. "001.1" had been a long time in the planning, it was important for a company as rogue and vagabond as theirs to at least pretend that those from the outside world were welcome within their sphere of chaos...

Nacieae appears on a new EP set for release on Tact Recordings. The imprint has moved from strength to strength across the last six years, this time they turn their focus towards the abstract elements of dub.

001.1 PREMIERE: Nacieae -001.1 [Tact Recordings]

@mergelayers - the label run by Italian producers Natlek and Nobel - is starting a new monthly digi-only single series. The first offering comes from @circuit900, a Danish duo composed of Nicolas Hansen (Variete/Lattice) and Jens Madsen (Pastiche).

Operating somewhere near the intersection between house, electro and UK bass music, 'Bakheng' is a certified stomper with the most ferocious drums you'll have heard in a while.

PREMIERE: Circuit 900 - Bakheng [Merge Layers]

The funny shaped creature marched prominently across the floor. It toddled back and forth between the four walls and looked surpised as it recreated the same delicately crafted route again and again. Shiu was his name, a thing of beauty which the rich had brought upon a great ship from overseas, he was far from home and very much alone amidst a kingdom of wealth, power and might. The trumpets roared in the courtyard outside as the guards marched upon the cobbles. The creature shivered up in the high tower. 

Thiago Nassif is set to release a new album on the widely praised record label, Foom. The imprint has become synonymous with quality having previously released music by the likes of Peter Zummo, Arthur Russell, NDF and more. Listen to the talents of the Brazilian maestro in collaboration with Arto Lindsay.

@moveltraxx's Street Bangers Factory series comes to a close this week with the ninth edition. Over the course of three years the label has been showcasing high octane dancefloor weapons from the likes of MikeQ, Mighty Mark & TT The Artist, Big Dope P, DJ Earl, Lockah, Morgan Hislop and loads more.

Teklife star @deejay-manny-2 - whose 'Greenlight' was one of the best albums of 2017 - contributes a whipcrack juke cut that's over before you've even had a chance to draw breath. The frantic rhythms of 'It's House' mark another worthy entry in his arsenal of footwork battle anthems.

Street Bangers Factory 9

PREMIERE: DJ Manny - It's House [Moveltraxx]

There was a purple sky and the black clouds seemed ominous and gloomy. The rain poured with prolific intent on the night that she left me, at least that was as much as I could remember before the blackout. Sat upon the boulevard i recalled watching the stars darken under the haze of the midnight fog, the sirens in the distance roaring up and down upon the tarmac chasing villains and rogues. You could hear the sound of the waves rumble softly in the distance, I didn't care...

Quaid is set to release a new album on the Melbourne based imprint Couch Acid Recordings, an assortment of moody house, disco and boogie which lends a nod of the head to the days of funk, soul and classic hip hop.

Can anybody stop Peggy Gou right now? The short answer: No, they can't.

Our recent cover star is one of the most popular artists on the planet right now and when she's not touring the biggest festivals and playing at the best clubs in the world, she's rolling out productions that simply smoulder on the dancefloor.

Following on from her formidable Ninja Tune EP, Peggy returns to Phonica White for 'Travelling Without Arriving'. Her last EP on the label was the super well-received ‘Day Without Yesterday’/ ‘Six O Six’ release and she comes back with similarly groove-fuelled rollers.

Check out the premiere of the lead track now.

Premiere: Peggy Gou 'Travelling Without Arriving'

The great pyramid loomed in the distance, a towering dark triangle etched across the brilliant blue radiance of the midday sky. Sheherazade would attract gatherers from far and wide, they came to observe the ominous scale of the brickwork and the golden glow which illuminated from the nothing that was the desert floor. It would be there until the end of time, they would not. It would stand tall, they would crumble. Inside it was fierce and strong, nobody knew the power. 

Tora Vinter is set to release a new EP on BROR. The Gothenburg based producer delivers two eclectic house cuts which are then followed by a remix from Dj Lily. The atmosphere runs deep on this one.

Molly continues to cement RDV’s reputation as a refreshing outlet for contemporary house with the expertly-curated Recit De Voyage Volume 2, a generous compilation that collects a number of established and upcoming producers to deliver vital, sincere and wholly individual music.

Leading the charge is Finale Sessions founder Michael Zucker, who follows his appearance on RDV's first release (as one half of the duo Prophets of a New Generation) with ‘City Streets’; having previously appeared on recordd with the likes of Terrence Dixon, Boo Williams and Norm Talley, he delivers his own nocturnal vision, a gentle and smooth soundtrack for warm Midwestern nights. Molly’s own contribution ‘Poble New’ follows, demonstrating her well-established mastery of tight grooves, atmosphere and subtle jack.

Douala, an artist associated with cult label Blorp, brings us ‘Orbiting’, a powerful slice of liquid funk. 
Modern House Quintet, presents ‘Plaka’, his first release away from his MHQ imprint, and arguably the record’s outright deepest moment. 
The founder of Popcorn Records, Siler ups the tempo for ‘French Manicure’, a playful, fizzy house bubbler.
Discovered at New York’s Elsewhere club during only his second-ever gig, John Silas represents the Eastern seaboard on irresistibly smooth cut ‘One Time’. 
Silas’s nocturnal groove leads in nicely to the more experimental, dense forest of sound forged by Kristian Amou & The Modern Quintet Ensemble on Bokobimbo. 

Finally, Orion hits with the MPC front-and-center for the undeniable groove of ‘Just Have You’, which rolls sensually towards a soulful vocal sample, culled from the dustiest of wax.

Stenocactus crispatus is native to broad swathes of Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert, specifically the Northern and Central areas of Hidalgo, Querétaro, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Tlaxcala, and Puebla. Colloquially known as the “Brain Cactus” due to its unique undulating ribs, Stenocactus crispatus can be found primarily in xerophilous pastizal ecosystems as well as open piñon-juniper woodlands. Stenocactus crispatus is a solitary plant, meaning it rarely branches, and is covered in wavy ribs protected by long flattened spines. Regarded as an ideal specimen for home cultivation, it produces small yet vividly attractive magenta and pale pink flowers when in bloom. Our botanists strive to source and produce high-quality specimens to enrich your mind as well as your ears. After many months in the field our team has returned with a diverse selection of sonic seedlings. Following a series of meticulous experiments in our research facility each seedling has been deemed safe for general propagation and cleared for release.
