The elusive WDDS returns to his own Hectare Discs imprint melding the percussive sounds of Africa with sub heavy jungle. Both cuts build on a base of rich ambient textures whilst retaining functionality for the club and have already gained support from the likes of Double O, Mantra, Law, Maya Jane Coles and Midland to name a few. This release drops everywhere 23rd July and will include some exclusive untitled dubs via Bandcamp.

Mario Bianco - Get Off The Path (REFRACTION - ABT059)

Tunnelvisions, the collaboration project between Raynor de Groot and Emiel van den Dungen, approaches music with an open mind and fuses different musical elements together in their endeavour to bring back some warmth on the dance floor. Their very well received debut album ‘Midnight Voyage’, which was released on Atomnation last year, showcases their shared vision of contemporary club music in the most organic way possible.

In celebration of the album, Atomnation is set to release a remix package of ‘Midnight Voyage’, featuring remixes from Aera and Luca Musto, next to two alternative versions of ‘Guava’ coming from the hands of Tunnelvisions. With a multitude of shows lined up for this summer, among which a performance at DGTL Festival, the duo sets out to share their collaborative philosophy towards club culture.

Premiere: Tunnelvisions - Guava (Night Mix) [Atomnation]

'Recorded Live at Metamorphosis Berlin 13.04'

Sirio Grimaldi is the founder of Monolith Records and resident of the eclectic project Liber Null Berlin; born in Rome in the late 80s, he discovered the world of deejaying firstly inspired by "Sound Of Rome". After digging the London scene  he moved to Berlin playing in the main clubs like Berghain Säule, Tresor, Arena, Griessmühle, About Blank, Suicide Circus (and more...). There was established Monolith Records, a music platform which looks ahead to the grim future of humankind delivering electronics as compositions translating different philosophical stances mainly about the human condition. The parallel development of darker aesthetics through the Liber Null Berlin residency, proliferating over Berlin first, then Europe and Asia, shapes the unique mystical Idm obscure-ravey output of the deejay sets, that can morph from slow-haunting and experimental warmups to destructive dancefloor actions through a wide range of genres constantly mashed up (such as Techno, Industrial, Idm, Ambient, Breaks, Acid, Electro; following no rules in matter of bpm). Also art director of the event series Metamorphosis happening in Suicide Circus every couple of months, he's genuinely contributing to the scene with constant dedication and focus on quality.

Days, weeks and months passed without any word; all avenues of communication had run dry. It was as though he'd disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind him. Taking matters into their own hands, they began their detective work, leaving no stone unturned. But after following all of their leads his whereabouts remained shrouded in mystery. They wouldn't give up that easily though; the search would continue until they had their answer. 

A year after his first EP, Is This EBM?, Geneva's Brainwaves crew are gearing up for the release of Thomas Bodenständig's sophomore album, Speed Am Rhein. But the label are releasing it with mixed emotions. In May they received a box of 66 hand-numbered cassettes from Thomas, along with a largely illegible letter that seemed to detail that he was delving in high-speed trading during visits to Franfurt and had some sort of pulmonary affliction with complications. It outlined one final ask of the label — no matter what happened they must release the album before the end of 2020. 

Since receiving the package, they have had countless failed attempts at contacting him through every possible line of communication, but to no avail. His apartment in Leverkusen is now vacant, his favourite barstool in his local is gathering dust and his cellar seems to have been emptied of all of his recording equipment. They enlisted their friend to go and scour the streets and the bars, and even checked local hospital and morgue records for his name, but it's as if he's vanished off the face of the earth. 

The label are still searching for his whereabouts and they won't be giving up until they do, but on Thomas' instructions, and after six months of no news, they are releasing the album into the world with a mixture of sadness, pride and nostalgia...

PREMIERE: Thomas Bodenständig - Langsam Leverkusen [Brainwaves]

Artist: 16B
Track: London Boy (In Detroit)
Label: aLOLa Records
Format: Digital
Release date: 27/11/20
Purchase: https://www.beatport.com/label/alola-records/14015

Robert Smith (The Cure) “Listening to it and I love it’
Sasha (LNOE) “When the album opens it sounds like classic 16B, amazing production and I love it!”

’SunTzu’ hails the fifth artist album release from electronic music pioneer Omid Nourizadeh, aka 16B, featuring 18 new tracks that exhibit a multitude of musical facets from a talent who has been innovating at the forefront of cutting edge electronic dance for more than 20 years. The album is named after the Chinese philosopher, strategist and writer, Sun Tzu - "I believe Sun Tzu was actually like a collection of people and ideas through one century and the album has a similarity with many mixed emotions, ideas, with so many different Omid’s, but all under the name 16B", says Omid. Illuminated with diverse compositions that flow between pretty melodic soundscapes to the potent gritty sounds of the underground, Omid joins the dots between emotive electronica and dreamy ambient gems through to animated indie, techno, electro and deep house grooves. “The tracks all collide somehow into a full picture of what 16B is about on every angle - there’s times you’ll want to jump up and down as much as lay back and just listen.”
“If this becomes the last album I’m ever going to make, I’d die happy knowing there’s something here for everyone! I’m not into designing anything to please a certain group or style, however this for me is the closest thing to covering all the styles I’ve loved to make and still enjoy listening to it now as much as in my naive and younger days. There’s such a fine line between the love to create new things when you're young and still loving the art in it as much when you think you’ve wisened up or far more experienced!” - Omid 16B
DJ, producer, songwriter, musician and label boss Omid Nourizadeh, also known as Omid 16B, has forged a unique and prolific career as one of the world’s most talented and respected musicians and producers with over 20 years contributing to the scene. Growing up in London, with Persian roots, he’s highly regarded as a pioneer of the tech house movement back in the early nineties, alongside Carl Craig, Craig Richards, Mr C, Steve Bug and Francois K. Omid's impressive discography includes releases on labels such as Eye Q, Hooj Choons, Stomp/EQ, Yoshitoshi, Ministry Of Sound, Deconstruction, Tsuba and Bedrock, as well as his own labels aLOLa and SexOnWax Recordings. Omid boasts an impressive portfolio of music, releasing 4 albums to date including his hugely acclaimed debut 'Sounds From Another Room’ (1998), 'How To Live 100 Years' (2002), the two-part ‘Like 3 Ears & 1 Eye' (2007) and his long awaited brilliant album from release last year, ‘Silenciety’. He has worked under many pseudonyms including $16 Million Dollar Man, Phaser, 16B, Pre 4, OTC, ORN, Sixteen Souls, Subversive Attraction, NEW5 and Omid 16B, among others. Omid's impressive collaboration and remixes credits include artists Lana Del Rey, Morel, The Cure, Gus Gus, Danny Howells, François Kevorkian, Steve Lawler through to Groove Armada, Depeche Mode, Prince, Deep Dish, and many more. Having played at some of the best festival stages around the world from Snowbombing, MTVFestival, SW4 Main Stage in London, DJmag’s 20th anniversary show at Space Ibiza, Bestival and the Space Closing party, Omid continues to follow his individual creative path, taking his unique sounds from his London studio to the global stage.

PREMIERE #1332 | 16B - London Boy (In Detroit) [aLOLa] 2020

"With a remix for BlahBlahBlah’s new signing TR which dropped in June, a second release on his own imprint Hectare Discs in July and a remix for rising stars Codex, WDDS has really taken lockdown into his stride. For his last outing of 2020, the Manchester based producer returns to Hectare Discs with his 3rd EP, ‘Get Into / Lies From Diefeffell’.
The two tracker shows WDDS expressing himself in his truest form yet, the A-side Get Into contrasts hip hop sounds from yesteryear, with a more modern take on jungle with skittish drums etched over a deep 808 sub. On the flip side, Lies From Diefeffel is something for the after hours, combining atmospheric pads with diverse vocal drones over a more unorthodox drum & bass rhythm.
This release is out 4th December 2020"

Get Into

PREVIEWS (HD003) Get Into/Lies From Diefeffel - OUT 4th December

Even in a crowded room of friendly faces he felt lost, unable to find his voice amongst the excited conversations and sputtering bursts of laughter. He needed to get out of his head and get into it, but though he wanted to, it was far more difficult in practice than it was in theory. For now he would fain a nod and muster a smile; remaining there in body but not in mind.

Manchester-based DJ, producer and 1020 Radio resident WDDS has been putting lockdown to good use this year. Following remixes for Codex and TR, a contribution to Accidental Meetings compilation, and a second release on his own Hectare Discs imprint he returns for a third on the latter, a two tracker titled Get Into / Lies From Diefeffell. Bringing contrasting but complementary sounds, the A-side merges hip hop influences with skittering drums while the flip brings deep pads and an off kilter D&B rhythm.

Get Into (Original Mix)

The stars seemed to sparkle more than ever tonight: perhaps there was romance in the air. From the comfort of their space ship they gazed out of the window, watching the cosmos move around them. It was the perfect setting for their date: a night they would surely never forget — or possibly never remember...

For more than a decade, French outfit RÜBA KPØ have been channeling their blend of analogue synthesis, sound effects, drumwork and vocals with their shared passion for electronic music. Following an EP earlier this year on Sonar Kollectiv, the four piece group embark on something of a rebrand with a new five track EP titled Arengue for RKRS Recordings. After turning their attentions to their radio show over the last few years as well as working on their live act, they now fully stretch their musical legs on this EP, pulling at strains of jazz, bass, cold wave and happy house.

Arengue EP

PREMIERE: RÜBA KPØ - Pentagonal [RKRS Recordings]

Nobody's life was perfect but he started to think he'd been dealt a far worse hand than many others. Several toxic relationships, a myriad of lost jobs and unsuccessful opportunities, not to mention the countless mishaps, had seemed to be the dish of the day since his youth. Luck had never been on his side and things just didn't seem to go his way; he'd come to terms with living with it after all these years. 

Previously shrouded in mystery, Brother Nebula is the moniker of dance music veteran Lance Desardi who, over the last few years, has crafted cosmic and atmospheric breaks and house. He made his debut on Legwork back in 2018 with a collaborative EP alongside Solar, before quickly following it up with his first solo releases on the same label. Last year saw him land on Nick Höppner's Touch From A Distance, but now he makes a triumphant return to Legwork once again for The Physical World, an album of retro-futurist and interstellar electronics.

The Physical World

PREMIERE: Brother Nebula - Living With It [Legwork]

The ship had been on its expedition for decades; its captain sailing it to new and undiscovered locations, capturing the hearts of new found friends and creating memories that would last forever. Many faces joined the voyage along the way, helping the captain steer the ship in new directions. There was no final destination in mind, there never had been — only the journey mattered.

Our own pal Bozza AKA Bawrut lends a hand in inaugurating London-based imprint Other Goodness with Divergent Emotions, a collection of three tracks that, like the title suggests, pull from different moods and feelings. Produced during lockdown, the tracks were made with home listening in mind rather than the club — well, almost all, there's still that no-nonsense Bawrut flair on the opener. The other two tracks bring different flavours: 'Sunshine' channels that post-rave feeling and 'AndreW', which is a special tribute to the Guv'nor himself, matches chugging rhythms with melancholic synth lines.

PREMIERE: Bawrut - AndreW [Other Goodness]
