Download 'Electric Fist', the darkest track on our 'Lift' EP, available exclusively on Beatport through Kitsune records - http://bit.ly/LIFTprerelease

Made in collaboration with Mike Diamond. We started this one in LA, on a day where we only had a few hours to come up with something. Time was against us but we had this loop ready to go, Mike (Diamonds) added beats and started chopping things up in a couple of hours. Just as a last touch we decided to add some special Digitalism distortion (yes we know, you'll be asking, what is this? But it's like a good batter, the only way to find out is to taste it). And then we got this!!! Like the other two tracks it has become a staple in our sets.

The 'Lift EP' will be pre-released for DJ's August 23rd courtesy of Beatport and then available world wide from September 23rd.

Shaker Notes

Where You Gonna Go?

An album by Roman Flügel is always a sensation. That holds true for his countless monikers and collaborations as it does for his 2011 Dial debut Fatty Folders. Being the first of its kind under his civic name, the long over-due association of Hamburg's cerebral label and its group of off-centre house and techno individuals with Frankfurt's favorite electronic music producer for the thinking man and woman, proved to be a seminal one.

Now, that sort of Happiness Is Happening again. Roman Flügel's follow up on Dial takes off, where Fatty Folders landed: on a runway that acknowledges the roots of house and techno as well as its fruits, but leads to a different location. Exempt from the burden that a concept album can lay on its author, Flügel seems not to be concerned with the current trends, retro fashion or a pre-conceived topic. Free-wheeling and with a freshness akin to morning dew, he rather takes us by the hand and through ten tracks that sometimes feel like songs without a voice.

Having said that, the strongest point of Happiness Is Happening is that it has a voice. The voice of a maker who is not afraid to mix joy and pain, ambient textures with remnants dance floor euphoria, quiet spaces and loud places. So you have an almost Depeche-Mode-like ballad that the ”Friendship Song” is, next to the techno city ghost story of “JD Atmo”. Slow-motion robot disco (“Wilkie”) appears as much at home here as the bulky “Stuffy” or the sudden impact in “We Have A Nice Life”. That list goes on and on. The most startling fact about Roman Flügel's tour de force is that its sum is as great as its parts. Nothing feels superfluous, ill-paced or forced here. Its a condensate of a life that has been spent in techno, house and its various mutations and archetypes with a sensibility for pop music, a consciousness of indie culture and an affinity for the avant-garde as such. 

Happiness Is Happening is like a concept album without a concept. A testament to the fact that the concept of an album that works within the realms and boundaries of “electronic (dance) music” can be so much more than a loose collection of 12-inches or just an exercise in style: it can be, after all, a piece of art and at its best comparable to a successful singer-songwriter album without words. Especially, when the creator of all his seems to be truly comfortable with himself and at his best. Then, Happiness Is Happening, indeed.

RNT is going back to the roots of their Reserve series with Rose Cutz 2, a pack of burners and heaters from https://soundcloud.com/rose-records honchos https://soundcloud.com/luvless and https://soundcloud.com/m-ono. Each producer takes a side, delivering a little something for any time of night, from the uptempo stomp of Eins A Legge to the slow analog pulse of File Save As. A rose by any other name...is still a banging record!

M.ono - Just Like Magic

The empty space lay abandoned and bare. In the middle of the warehouse there was nothing which demonstrated that an enterprise had ever existed here. The brick walls lay bare and cold, the metal pillars loomed hauntingly. This was now a place which would soon be forgotten, one of the many buildings lost to the grunge and despair of a city in a state of alert. All around this place businesses had begun to leave, they had been bought out, priced out and as a result their ability to produce had collapsed. Cavitation was all that existed, all around. The shells of a life now vanished. 

Raccoglimento Parziale releases on Oltrarno Recordings as he unveils his new body of work titled "Observing Organic Structures".

Observing Organic Structures

PREMIERE: Raccoglimento Parziale - Cavitation [Oltrarno Recordings]

Utterly bent and disturbing in unequal measures, Messrs Smagghe and Cross take Mugwump’s Factory paean and provide a new beat. Mangled with anxious bass, reverse white noise, sub earth oscillations and Stuka riffs, it’s the perfect thing to open the door to small kids with this week. That’ll learn ‘em.

Metempsycho EP 

PREMIERE: Mugwump - Breakdown (Smagghe & Cross Version)[Subfield]

‘I’ showcases their taste for soulful melodies and physical rhythms on tracks like ‘Presence’ and ‘Seamless’, while Chandler collabs with the duo on ‘Long Beach Island’ and ‘Patron Saint’.

But it’s the nine-minute cinematic burner ‘Nina’ that we have the pleasure of bringing you. It’s a track that locks in listeners with hypnotising percussion and continues to evolve at its own pace. It never rushes, but it never takes the foot off the gas.

Premiere: Voyeur 'Nina'

The voice echoed down the corridor. He could hear it from a mile away. In all honesty, now he came to think of it he could probably hear it from a hundred thousand miles away. He might as well be on another continent, the nagging would still somehow find a way to penetrate and torment his brain. He had heard about the trouble the noise had caused for others. They had been haunted, some had even gone mad they said. He had always hoped it would never be this bad but right now it was unbareable. 

Mike Simonetti & Ryan Parks have recently compiled a release called 'Harsh Riddims' which is set to be released by 2MR on Friday this week.

PREMIERE: Love Letters - Nag (TWIN'S 'can we?' Mix)[2MR]

The sun cast a dreamy glow over the sand dunes. Night was about to fall across the Gobi Desert and not a sound could be heard. The blue light faded into the distance and all that was left but darkness. You could smell the heat in the night's air, it clung to you like a warm embrace. Many people had longed to walk across this beautiful landscape but few had ever been brave enough to take the risk. The possibility that one might die in the middle of nowhere was too haunting for many, no matter how stunning the burial. 

Peur Bleue return with yet more charm and lush sounds as they are set to release a new EP from Benoit B. His new EP, titled 'Tropico Timelexia', sees an enchanting take on house and soundscapes.

PREMIERE: Benoit B - A Night In Gobi Desert [Peur Bleue]

Something had happened. But our minds were too nebulized, our visions to blurry to remember what it was. When we stopped searching for our inner and outer selves in past tenses we eventually fully realized it was the future we had to sharpen our senses for. In the things that lay upon us, things that were bound to happen, we would find shelter. That universally necessitated shelter, which we could rely on, would give us possibilities to conquer unseen grounds to walk on. Only then we would find out it was not us envisioning this new land, but the land that envisioned us, that saw us firmly walking on its unspeakable grounds, allowing us to go wherever we could imagine ourselves to go to. We fly toward grace.

Rhytch is an artist based in Berlin. When we were originally approached by the label about featuring a track from his forthcoming LP 'Baba Ganoush' it was through a friend. It was quite the introduction and the record is an exciting prospect. Ancient Future Now, a label from Cologne, are set to release it.

Very quickly after releasing the first Clyde Built compilation, we knew we had to do another one; the response from the artists involved and thousands who checked out the comp itself was so encouraging that we couldn't wait to do it again!

This time around we set out to replicate the high quality and diverse range of music with an entirely different cast of contributing artists and projects and we’re very excited to share the results with you.

It’s worthwhile mentioning that the vast majority of these tracks are unsigned - many don’t even have artist pages - so if anyone is interested in releasing either the music featured or speaking to one of the artists in question, please don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@huntleyspalmers.com and we’ll put you in touch.

Much love and thanks to all involved; Claudia, Murray, Maria, Joel and Gordon at GLARC, Sean, Niall, Lewis, Michael, Gary, Marshall, Tara, Matt, Conal, Stewart, Chris, Tom, Ryan, Matty, Jamie, Rodolfo, Jonathan, Laurie and Ollie, Lewis, Murray, Tony, Jonny and Rory.

The Friday night roll call was well underway. The crew had begun to assemble as they steadily anticipated the night which lay before them. Driving out into the countryside thir faces glowed with eager excitement at the thought of getting to the site. Little did their parents know that they were the dancers of the new generation and that the fields by night had become their playgrounds. On the crackly old radio an mc shouted gloriously out over the tracks, shout outs came flying in across tune after tune. The night had only just begun. 

Tristan Grace is the first to appear on a new label run by the Warehouse Project's founder Krsko. Titled 'I Walked By Night' the label draws upon his experience amongst the scene across many years. Tristan Grace delivers the grooves on 'Tune Called Shout Outs'.
