Premiere: Innershades – Cocaine Voices [9300 Records]

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.

Zone Records round out their year with a new and thrilling three tracker from Jensen Interceptor. 
Jensen’s versatile brand of techno takes him to clubs and warehouses around the world and has earned him the support of DJs such as Dave Clarke, Helena Hauff and Nina Kraviz amongst others. Taking cues from Detroit electro and Miami bass, rolling Italo and thunderous 90's breaks, he always cooks up a wild ride on influential labels like Boysnoize Records, Cultivated Electronics and Central Processing Unit. 
 It's the arresting ‘Midnite’ which kicks off with rugged basslines and slapping hits. Industrial, menacing moods pervade the tough electro groove and as it gurgles on the inner mechanics of the track take control of your body.  
 The lithe ‘No Sleep’ is even more athletic. Its basslines and synths gurgling and bubble, blurt and explode over and over as tinny cow bells hammer away up top. It’s a visceral and upright cut that’s as raw as they come.  
 Keeping up the energy levels, ‘Illinois 78’ is a little more stripped back, with echoes of EBM in the crunchy and off kilter drums and spooky synths. It’s a stomping, macho track filled with atmosphere and one that is tailor made for gritty warehouses spaces.  
 Once again here Jensen Interceptor brings a unique and powerful sound that will find favour with dance floors worldwide.

Ryan James Ford’s productions are rarely anything other than inspired. Through regular releases on Marcel Dettmann Records, Answer Code Request and his own SHUT imprint, Ford has proved to be an exciting producer, capable of mangling sounds and styles to fit his wide-ranging musical vision.
The Berlin-based Canadian arrives on Happy Skull with a label debut that dramatically emphasizes the point. While each of the four tracks features audible nods to a wealth of influences and inspirations, the bold individuality of the resultant cuts all but renders such comparisons redundant.
For example, EP opener “Ormst Kaban”, whose wild, crashing, off-grid breakbeats and twisted, foreboding electronics aggressively spar with glacial chords and icy textures. The 16 bit arpeggio lines of 'Hobrv Kegdit' are underpinned by powerful sub-bass tones and industrial drum-breaks that merge to create a densely sprawling mass of dance floor melancholia.
This pattern continues throughout the EP, with “Slown Ridel” and “Nos Ummi” balancing skittish, noise-seeped percussion with the dreamy, glassy-eyed swell of classic ambient and pioneering early ‘90s IDM.

Body Realism is a wild ride into Chilean producer and Mechatronica co-founder Daribone's vivid take on reality, spirituality and fantasy. 

The EP moves from slow-burning mantras and religious mania on 'Shamanic Tendencies' and 'Yolavi Bahar' through the hazardous alien landscapes of 'Upper Norfair', onto a final encounter with the Mechanoid beings—gatekeepers between our consciousness and the universe.

Limited hand stamped vinyl release (no repress). Buy here:

Brooklyn-based, Yugoslavian-born Maroje T is back as Remora with a new release on Kraftjerkz. His latest Remora release is a cohesive, synth-driven exploration, drawing influence from 80’s New Wave, Belgian New Beat, synth-pop, Italo disco and electro. Its aim is not to emulate; its nostalgia is grown-up and contemporary, filled with arpeggiated synths and metallic punctuation. There’s a play between light and dark here; the opening tracks take us on an easy, synth-pop voyage, as if through a neon dawn. Half-way through the EP, the mood shifts towards dystopic visions, with tracks like “Bitter Night” and “Green Sea” bringing to mind videogame-boss nostalgia and darker electro sentiments. The EP closes with the final, visceral “You Travel by Plane Often,” meant to be experienced with the body. The EP is primed to become a classic; it goes down easy but stays with you for a while, before wanting to be ingested again and again.
