Razor-N-Tape revisit a few of the standout cuts from last year’s massive LP drop by Brooklyn band 79.5 with a varied dancefloor-ready remix package! NYC based bass enthusiast Jubilee gets peak-time freaky with the anthemic “B.D.F.Q” as featured in her recent BBC Essential Mix, talented upstart producer Malik Hendricks delivers a sublimely deep take on “Feel Like Dancing”, while Razor-N-Tape label boss JKriv turns in a bright and bouncy house version of “Our Hearts Didn’t Go That Way”. Funk stalwarts FSQ get groovy for a very different reading of “B.D.FQ”, and Damien Harris takes the sultry “Feel Like Dancin” into slow-rolling new disco territory.

Bytes readies reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM aka Damon Baxter.

In the neon-lit alleys where the shadows creep,
In Area 5, where the code runs deep,
Beneath the hum of SEM’s thrumming beats,
Lies a city of circuitry, where reality retreats.

Detroit techno pulses through the veins,
As dystopian dreams dance in chains,
In the flickering lights of byte-laden screens,
Where echoes of the future meet shattered dreams.
 

Strings of dystopian sci-fi weave,
Through the fabric of what we believe,
In the symphony of cybernetic cries,
Where humanity fades and the machine’s sighs.

John Carpenter’s ghosts haunt the streets,
Vangelis’s echoes in every beat,
In this city of shadows, where no one’s free,
The soundtrack of a world lost in entropy.
 

Earlier this month Bytes announced the reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM (aka Damon Baxter, who would go on to record as Deadly Avenger) on May 17, 2024. The second track to be made available for public consumption is Area 5, taken from The Demon EP, the second SEM release, on which Damon expanded the pure old-school electro SEM sound to include elements of Detroit techno and dystopian sci-fi strings, giving off serious John Carpenter/Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack vibes.

PREMIERE: SEM - Area 5 [BYTES]

In the valleys of the land far and wide,
Where the moonbeams dance and the stars collide,
There lived a Headman, so spry and alive,
With a song in his heart, a jive to thrive.

He danced to the tune of “Live 120,”
A remix by Sen, oh so plenty!
With beats that fizzed and rhythms so fine,
He’d whirl and twirl like aged wine.


 
Through valleys of laughter, he’d skip and prance,
With each step, a wild, merry dance.
For in this realm of nonsense and glee,
Headman ruled with joy and gaiety.

SomeVersion/Live120RMX” is the final single from Headman’s “DeTurning” album. Robi has reversioned “SomeVersion” with late 80s inflections whilst Sen’s reworking of “Live120” melds retro futurism. Spot the break!

PREMIERE: Headman - Live120 (Richard Sen Remix) [Relish]

Roma has provided 4 techno-inspired tracks for Mr. Banger's seventh edition.

PREMIERE : Roma Khropko - Rendal

Dancing through the clouds, it seemed as if they might never find their way back to earth. Up above the world below, they felt at home wandering amidst the deep blue, watching as the fluffy pillows floated on by beneath them casting shadows down upon a dense green planet. From time to time they’d catch a glimpse of where they had arisen from, only to become re-emerged in the density of the fluffy white orbs.

They wandered atop a rainbow road, in the search of something more, something far more than what was beneath. They danced amidst the stars upon a highway of technicolour dreams.

This was the vision of a new future.

Anna Schreit is a Berlin producer and DJ who has dedicated an EP to close friends. Forthcoming on Compost Records this one showcases elegant House music with a nod to Detroit and beyond.

PREMIERE: Anna Schreit - Enzio On Rainbow Road [Compost]

Far away, in the jungle of outer space lay a maze of dust. A cluster of stars, gas and floating wonder. This was the place, the nebula. The darkness of the galaxy could swallow you up, cut away at your very soul leaving it with nothing but cold disjointed loneliness and blackness. Space was not a place for the tame or faint of heart. It was a place for the fearless, the rugged, the robust. Only those types could exist amidst the nebula, only they would prosper. 
Tolga Fidan is well travelled: originating from Turkey he has experienced the musical culture of London, Paris, berlin and everything in between.
