Moonshots (Jan. 2023)

Pre-order: https://austen-artist.bandcamp.com/album/medulla

‘Medulla’ is the latest project from @dylan-austen hitting @danielle_dj's freshly unveiled imprint @soft-raw this month.

The record's title track jacks up the tempo, offering a fast-paced but light-footed rip through acidic techno. The edits and fills are crafty, leaving space for surprise at every turn without derailing its floor-focused energy.

Premiere: Austen 'Medulla'

The wind beat heavily against her face, whipping her hair into a frenzy and urging her to squint against its sheer force. Edging closer to the precipice, and peering inquisitively over the cliff face she quickly gulped and shuffled backwards. She considered herself open-minded, up for an adventure, for trying things she'd never tried before, but she had to draw the line somewhere. And this was her line; her 'absolutely not'.

Lithuanian imprint Electric Shapes are no stranger to voyaging through strange, cosmic and alluring sonic terrain to mine for the very best unreleased gems. Their yearly Unreleased Territory compilation gathers artists who are part of their musical orbit, some who you'll see return year on year and others who are fresh faced and make their debuts for the first time. On the fourth instalment of the series, they've gathered a whopping 28 tracks from the likes of Etbonz and Gem Wallow to Dazion and Full Circle who each in turn venture into psychedelic sludge, trance-inducing waters and dark, mysterious lands.

Unreleased Territory vol. 4

PREMIERE: Full Circle - Absolutely Not [Electric Shapes]

In a world where magic still roamed free, there lived a rare and magnificent bird known as the Kashmiri Red. It was said that whoever possessed one of its feathers would be granted immense power and wealth. Many sought to capture the bird, but it was elusive and could only be found deep in the enchanted forests. One day, a young girl named Lily stumbled upon the Kashmiri Red while on a journey to find her missing father. She was amazed by the bird's beauty and, to her surprise, it granted her one of its feathers as a gift. From that day on, Lily's life was filled with wonder and adventure as she discovered the true extent of the magic within the Kashmiri Red's feather.



Beigean, returns to his own Tava Discs label drawing on his inherited archive of Punjabi folk, Bollywood disco, and encyclopedic knowledge of UK club culture. This release features a quadruple attack of deeply effective, disarmingly personal rave movements.  Beigean's unique  ability to blend cultural heritage with club culture has made him a standout of late.

Listen!

PREMIERE: Beigean - Kashmiri Red

It were as if he were swimming in some sort of thick soup, the air was exhaustive to breathe and engulfed the senses in a dense weighty fog. It was like moving through heavy cream, weighed down by the very thing which kept him afloat.

He wondered how obvious it was to those all around him, did they notice as he weaved slowly between passers by as if in some sort of dream like haze. Did they notice as he tiptoed between the glow of flickering streetlights as the sounds and sirens of the city all around him swallowed it all up like some sort of pointed shark.

Who knew where his mind was? For he did not...

Kulture Galerie kickstart a new venture with the first release on the new label coming on strong and featuring a heavyweight cast of producers. Abdul Raeva, Gene Tellem and Nesa Azadikhah all feature on the first record on the imprint which is run by Metropolitan Soul Museum.

However, it is the Alien D track which we showcase today, music from a producer who we reckon is one to watch at the moment...

PREMIERE: Alien D - Heavy Cream [Kulture Galerie]

Bristol-based DJ and producer Jamie Paton has been at it for almost 15 years. Starting out as one half of Cage & Aviary - a duo alongside pal George Hoyle who charted releases for DFA, Internasjonal and Dissident - Jamie went on to carve out his own path; one lined with heady, tripped out sounds to move the mind and the body.

Since going solo his music has does the rounds on some of our favourite labels, we're talking Höga Nord, Emotional Especial and the dearly departed Bahnsteig 23.

There's plenty more in the works too. In between his other job as a graphic designer, Jamie's been in the studio cooking up more potent electronics, some of which will soon see the light of day on ESP Institute and Multi Culti, along with another fresh project in collaboration with R$N extended family member, Chez De Milo.

Ahead of all that good stuff in the pipeline, we asked Jamie to supply a mix for us, a task he graciously accepted. Across two hours he takes us down a wormhole of hypnotic electronics, leftfield synth excursions and trippy rhythms. Let yourself get lost....

The Fool

Peder Mannerfelt returns with a heavy-duty payload precision engineered for pure peak time abandon. ‘Town Crier’ is a no-nonsense banger dealing in mutant techno with evil intent and enough low-end rumble to fell a forest - it’s Mannerfelt at his most direct and deadly.
  
Alongside the slamming original mix of ‘Town Crier’ come two equally potent versions from Mount Kimbie’s Kai Campos and Atlanta’s rapidly-rising production polymath Nikki Nair. Both tracks hold fast to the laser focus of the original, completing a package that makes a beeline for the feverish end of the dance, when only the wildest tracks will suffice.

Today's premiere is a resonant roller courtesy of Los Angeles-via-Taiwan producer @yunnamusic - a sonic force unearthing her immeasurable potential after a long journey of loss and reclamation brought upon enduring, life-shaping experiences that have moulded both her personal and creative life.

Yunna - Aki [Worst Behavior Records]

Today's premiere showcases a debut release from Dublin-based DJ, producer and promoter Matthew Sorensen. At just 18 years of age, Matthew has provided sensational insight into his knowledge and passion as an upcoming music producer with a compelling track steeped deep in 90s old-school roots, furthermore, he has also been so kind to set this track as a free download.

Matthew Sorensen is a Dublin-based promoter, DJ, producer and promoter who favours thrilling dance music. This includes but is not limited to slamming techno as well as old-school rave tunes which have shaped the young artists' taste from a very early age.

This has led him to perform at multiple venues across the city such as Index, Bow Lane Social Club and The Grand Social for parties such as Slither and Somewhere Else respectively. Not only is this an essential part of Matthew's library when mixing but this is also evident in his bookings as Counter Culture’s main man in charge. This style can even be heard in his remarkably consistent productions, with more releases to follow.

Take Me Up acts as a memory of the 90s rave scene in Dublin. This particular track is a classic example of the genre, fusing the old with the new as a driving bassline is introduced from the get-go. Setting the tone from the very first note. Fierce low-end is met with crisp hi-hats and snares ultimately creating a frenetic energy that's truly infectious from the first listen.

Acidobasic - 28 Avril 2023

The sound reverberated and danced as if it were under the possession of some strange outside spirit or influence. It echoed and pierced the ears as it grew louder and louder. The anticipation was too much for some who began to exit through the small door at the top of the room. Those who were more committed waited in observation of the risers' ode. 

The scientists conducting the experiment were brave in their approach - few had tried to breach the wall of sound before, testing the very limits of circumstance and noise. 

Soon they might hit fever pitch.

Sha Ru are a New York via Berlin based duo made up of Masha and Ru. Sha Ru are two musicians in constant flux, always discovering new iterations of themselves. Future facing, bass heavy loops and reverberating vocals mark a new era for the band one defined by artistic autonomy, intimacy and experimentation.

The pair are set to release a new EP on Jupiter4 - an intriguing assortment of electronic experiments.

PREMIERE: Sha Ru - Risers' Ode [Jupiter4]

Written in 2021, “Time Turns Liquid” explores the perception of time-warping between periods of complete isolation and the realignment of what “normal life” is after such a confounding time; where what life was, is, and will be, starts to blur entirely.

The record also highlights the importance of being together as well as looking out for each other during such uncertain times. Currently, life has jolted itself back into a sense of normalcy, which feels like a pendulum swing into the present. Between these intervals, we pushed ourselves to the absolute limit whilst reaching creative peaks and valleys in ourselves that weren’t visible previously.

Across the release, time stretches are emphasised by the switch to half-time in every single song, which creates a purposeful moment of introspection: once the track returns to the original pace, the perception of time reminds listeners of the extra energies that take your body and mind to places yet to be unearthed. In Sha Ru’s own words: “The EP reflects upon the perception of how life starts to stretch and lose its shape.“

IljusWifmo are two young guys from Sydney, Australia - Max and Taylor - who have recently started making music and they're just naturally good at it. Sharing the perspective with many contemporary Australian producers, their wish and challenge is to move to Europe and make a living out of music here - the 'hub for dance music culture'.

Laz is their debut EP and it features 4 fun tracks, some of which could remind you of another producer with a successful EP on Clubwerks - SHALT. We welcome them to the family and we're confident they have a bright road ahead.

Szmer - Former Vision I [ABS021 | Premiere]

A sound clash of genre-agnostic colourful “Uncharted Territories” EP finally follows-up with additional remixes. Jacques Satre from Worst Records brings his signature sound flip that makes “How Do You Called It” into Saint-Etienne’s chillout scene anthem. Five Rituals modifies “Eating Knives” into an experimental bass sound with half-time beat clocking into chugging tempo and weird Lithuanian pop figure appearing between powerful room shaking basslines. Shkema makes the most psychedelic version of "Eating Knives" so far. Phun Thomas revision got a fat acid facelift and “Thrillingly Twisted Uncharted Territories” by DJ JM is club-ready amen break dj tool revision to original. Finally, Jaroska revisits his own “Eating Knives” one more time to bring into the 80's territory with fuzzed guitars and lyrics that tells the hard truth about most common lifestyle in our club culture.
