(Secret Circuit Remix)

Museum of Love - Monotronic (Secret Circuit Remix)

Brand new single from Death In Vegas frontman Richard Fearless on his Drone imprint. Debut single 'Higher Electronic States' premiered on Dummy, Ransom Note and The Drone.  

Welcome to the second aural outpouring from the world of Drone, the London-based label from producer, artist and Death In Vegas guiding light Richard Fearless, now firmly established as an artist in his own right. Earlier this summer Drone laid down its debut mandate in the form of Fearless' own Higher Electronic States, which picked up plaudits from corners far and wide.
 
Discussing the second single Richard says "With Higher Electronic States I wanted to make a record to end my sets with, Gamma Ray is something much deeper. I wanted to create a timeless stark, minimal, desolate landscape of a track."
 
And he's done just that, creating one of those rare things in electronic music, a song with longevity. A piece of finely crafted techno of the highest order; 
 
"I obsessed over Gamma Ray. spending a week on the drum sound alone". 
 
To make matters all the more enticing he's enlisted the supreme talent that is Legowelt to rework the track. Stripping it back further to its core elements this is pure heads music from Danny Wolfers, another extreme audiophile. The depth, texture and atmosphere he injects into the track completes what is an exceptional and significant second release from Drone.  
 
"I feel like I've made the record that is true to this vision." We wouldn't disagree.
 
Having recently taken in part in an RBMA lecture in their Russian headquarters and an appearance at the hallowed turf of Golden Pudel planned for later in the year, the world of Richard Fearless and Drone is in its ascendancy.
 
Dancefloor distortion and other musical explorations, created in the Metal Box, Drone releases oscillations in many forms, further transmissions incoming.

Elektro Guzzi deliver us this week's R$N mix. 

Pease introduce yourself…

Who are you: 

We are Bernhard, Berni and Jakob and together we are Elektro Guzzi

Where are you: 

Most of the time we spend our time in our studio in Vienna, on the weekends we are always somewhere else...

What are you: 

A Techno Tanzband

Where was the mix recorded?

In our 3 flats. Since no one of us is a real/serious DJ we decided that each of us is doing one part of the mix. Jakob did the first, Bernhard the second and I did the 3rd part of the mix. Then we put it together at Top Sound Studio. 

What would be the ideal setting to listen to the mix?

Probably the best setting would be in a car while travelling trough 3 different land-scapes, because each of the 3 parts of the mix is quite different - so it maybe could be this journey:

What should we be wearing?

Tracksuits, racing suit or 70ties style tennis outfit

OK? Right, let's get on with the interview:

After reviving his 16-bit soul with rampantly joyful and excessively hedonistic escapades in New York, the now newly-named SONIKKU (casting off the DJ moniker of old and focussing purely on his namesake) takes refuge in the legendary high altitude temple, rising from the forest through the clouds and to a monumental blue-hued floating structure. Sky Sanctuary.

SONIKKU's warm, lilted audio recordings from time spent there tell a story of two SONIKKU's. One, a young producer, all scorched drum carnage with fruit basket plugins that betray a balearic leaning that defied their age (the B-side). Then the second SONIKKU. Pure vibes, positive waves and solid life lessons gleaned all the way from the Sky Sanctuary (A-side).

Cloud surfin, sky swimming, escapist, fantasy-sanctuary blissfulness.

GhostlyCast 70 welcomes the considered ear of Chicago producer Jason Garden. A triple threat, Garden records under the name Olin (working with labels such as Argot, Detour, and Giegling's g~~g~~~g), runs his own imprint (Boundary Monument), and serves as resident DJ and talent buyer for the acclaimed Smart Bar venue. The expansive, freeform mix reflects his approach live—as he explains:

"Over the years I have always grappled with the idea of what a mix should be. While I do enjoy the idea of carefully stitching together something thematic that I might not be able to do live, I’ve always also been a bit turned off by the idea because it feels somehow disingenuous. I get the sense that I’m telling a white lie about what it’s like to see me DJ. Conversely, my favorite part of DJing a party is the spontaneity and joy that can come from the feedback loop I share with the crowd. It’s never perfect, but it’s human and very genuine, which I love. So, while there is no dancefloor to speak of, this mix feels as true-to-life as such a thing can be: recorded without a plan, straight through, at home on a Sunday evening."

The classroom roared with laughter as the announcement was made. In the corner of the room the teacher watched on with a sense of thoughtful poignancy. Lou had finally beaten Sou and the schoolchildren were delighted by the result. It wasn't often that the class clown received their comeuppance. Often their dominance was what scared and inspired other children into laughter. Now, with a bashful look upon his face Lou walked slowly back to his chair to reflect on the loss. The teacher sighed. 

Leon Revol is set to release a new EP on Beats Of No Nation. It will be the fourth in their catalogue and comes from the24 year old Bordeaux based producer who has previously released music on the likes of Kolour, Secret Reels, Future Disco, and Monologues.

PREMIERE: Leon Revol - Lou Bet Sou [Beats Of No Nation]

She watched him leave. His car drove slowly up the road and into the distance as the rain began to fall with a harmonic pitter patter. She was left alone once again, in the empty house surrounded by the walls that haunted and twisted between them. There was little left in her heart, she just wished that she could see him sometimes. Perhaps it was supposed to be this way, distant and sad. She sat at the table and watched the outside world float by through the glass. 

Tilman returns to release on Klamauk for the second time. He brings with him his golden take on deep house and orchestrates a careful assortment of charmed pads and samples.

Let's Work It Out (Klamauk010)

PREMIERE: Tilman - If I Could See You Sometimes [Klamauk]

He knew what she was thinking about as she paraded boldly across the room. Her provocative nature had always been one to entice suspicion and interest. It were as if a vast audience were observing her long legs march with power and eerie stealth. She knew, he knew and I know. The music began to play even louder in the basement as she began to dance. It was an elegant, slow moving feat which left little to the imagination. This was not what she had dreamt of but by heavens was she good. 

Hubie Davison appears on Needs, a new not for profits record label founded by Bobby Pleasure. The proceeds of the first release will go to mental health charity Mind.

Needs 01

PREMIERE: Hubie Davison - I Know [Needs]

The call of the night welcomed her home. She had ran for thousands of miles by day across the dandy dunes and the grassy plains but something always ensured she returned to her place of rest. "Ducue" echoed out across the night as the stars sparkled in a hazy glow up above. The sky was a pitch, deep black but it was not threatening like it once had been. Now it was still, peaceful and dreamy. Half the world was asleep whilst another roared and rioted. This was far away. 

Love Letters is an artist whom we have supported previously on Ransom Note, an interesting up and comer with a distinct sound reminiscent of the days when house was... better. Yeah, we said it. Anyway, here is a new track on Yield Records, listen to "Ducue".

PREMIERE: Love Letters - Ducue [Yield]

Hackney-based post-punk outfit @aathenss were formed in late 2015, their early rehearsals taking place in the basement of Kingsland Road's now-defunct DIY space Power Lunches which closed shortly afterwards. That dark, sweaty, hallucinatory basement was where I first witnessed the band's incendiary live show, which bristles with tightly-wound energy.

Now, Aathens are releasing their debut album 'Virtue Signal' on East London imprint @blank-editions, and we're premiering the record's first track, 'Idiot Thing'. The taut, spindly guitar lines and acrobatic rhythm section call to mind a cross between Television and the Minutemen - and it's just the tip of the iceberg on an album which announces Aathens as one of the most exciting and substantial guitar groups in the UK right now.

Virtue Signal

PREMIERE: Aathens - Idiot Thing [Blank Editions]

The thunderous weather would leave a trail of destruction in the wake of the storm. Towering, black clouds loomed up high above as the wind roared between the dark city streets and alleyways. There was a melancholy sadness hanging across the town as the end began to near. Soon the machines would arrive, the Zy-Clone would enter the realm and they would say goodbye. A metallic thud began to ring out loudly in the distance, hold on. 

Vectorvision and Convextion, now there is a freakin' combination. The pair have worked together on a new two track EP for American label Legwork.

Premiere: Thee FFF (Felix Da Housecat + Hoopalaï) - All This [Victims Music Company]

Man Power returned to his Northern home for one Last Waltz. This is their joint offering for the ESP Institute.
On side A, Man Power welcomes us with Tistish, stepping slightly out of his comfort zone and employing a boxy breakbeat to create a dose movement. This contrasts his signature fatty bassline and together they establish a ground on which to stack layers of atonal square and sawtooth waves. About halfway through he introduces a massively seductive string lead and for the remainder of the ride this palette of sounds coalesce in dark orchestral beauty.
On side B, Man Power’s cohorts Last Waltz deliver Nee Shitteru, a true stomper of a track complete with in-your-face toms and off-time percussion patterns, an intense driving acid line, and aggressive shamanic chanting. Throw in some crash cymbals, sci-fi sound effects and a smattering of gamelan and it amounts to an overwhelmingly chaotic and psychedelic trip. These two songs will have you speaking in tongues.

PREMIERE : Man Power & Last Waltz - Tistish

The boat cruised elegantly above the rolling waves as those on board laughed and danced beneath the summer sun. This was a glorious occasion, an aquatic voyage into the unknown which would take their breath away. Deep down in the murky depths beneath the pearly white base of the ship was a great expanse, unchartered territory which man had not yet conquered. Some even said that we knew less about the depths of the ocean than we did of the planets millions of miles away. Some said...

Neptune Records is set to release a new EP on the 8th of December. A melodic, enchanting trip through the aquatics guided by Algorythm. This one is a tip.
