R$N Premieres: March 2017

B-010

Alex Agore - Without Cha

Sandman & Riverside Feat Jeremy Ellis - Into Your Story (Kai Alce Distinctive Remix)

JAZZVE is a wordplay with jazz. Jazz is concentrated dark matter and energy of the sound, which broke out, literally exploded in the beginning of XX century, giving birth to the whole universe of contemporary music. 
Trying to understand and realize this entropical vibration and groove, surfing on the crest of this unrestrained expansion of sound waves - the main idea of the project. 
Actually, no: we just share the good music produced by our mates. This time we invited the trinity of russian producers to create some special sunny and fresh mood of spring. Hope you will enjoy it.

Secret Crunch is a label fresh out of the oven run by fellow Vienna-based artists Roman Rauch and Moony Me. 
Both musically rooted in HipHop, Soul, Funk and Disco and expressing themselves mainly through House Music, it was just a matter of time until they first collaborated together. Thoughts about releasing their output together through an own label came naturally soon after.
The first release of Secret Crunch is a pure collaboration between them plus two additional remixes – one by Gnork and this one by Medlar & Ishmael.

Title: Bunch Of Crunch

Bunch Of Crunch EP

Shite Premiere | Roman Rauch & Moony Me - Hausware (Medlar & Ishmael Remix)

Fine Records is the collaborative product of Johannnes Albert (for Frank Music fame) and klamauk's Tilman. While the first release saw the producers joining forces, the second drop was a solo release from Tilman. For the third EP, Dancefloors & You & You, it is the Berlin-based Johannes' turn at the helm, and it is our pleasure to present to you the first cut off the record.

Johannes is no stranger to employing looped discofunk samples in his productions, and "All Around" certainly fits this mold.  The track builds on a heavy disco style kick / clap and layered percussion and a funky bassline. As the lead, an irresistible postdisco era sample repeats and rises to a filtered climax. The female lead vocals of the original are slightly teased in here a la Tiger & Woods before dropping back into the main groove. It's a sweet, feel good disco house track that's certain to motivate dancefloors.

PREMIERE : Johannes Albert - All Around

The haunting flowers would struggle to survive the winter months. The ghost orchid would lose its blossom and the cascading petals would fall quite abruptly to the forest floor below. Nature was a cruel mistress by which the jungle must abide, everything was in its place and right where it was supposed to be. The ghosts of winter would soon run riot through this empty trees whilst the animals slept in hibernation between the glow of the distant moon. 

Benjamin Fröhlich recently released music on Permanent Vacation. Now, it is his turn to be remixed, as is so often the way. Lauer, Shan, Jack Pattern and Cleveland all step up to reimagine his work. The latter is who's version we bring to you.

PREMIERE: Benjamin Fröhlich - Ghost Orchid (Cleveland Remix)[Permanent Vacation]

The difficulty with language is that it can be hard to articulate, decipher and change. What is said cannot be erased and taken back, it stands firm in the passage of time for a life to come. This is why such holy books have paved the way across the ages, they cannot be taken back. Nowadays it is all about a turn of phrase, depicting what may come next and rephrasing that which was mistaken. Perhaps in the future we will learn better, and take our time. 

Teniente Castillo is set to release a new EP on Playpal Music. Operating out of Madrid he creates tripped out electronic music rife with drive and bass. He is remixed by Undo.

PREMIERE: Teniente Castillo - Rephrased (Undo Remix)[Play Pal Music]

As he charged victoriously towards the finish life he reflected upon a charmed life. Hardship? No. Pain? No. This was all far too easy, in the distance he could hear the echo of a tannoy blaring out loudly to a crowd of onlookers. 

"We are here today..." 

All that nonsense got old pretty freakin' fast when you were running your socks off upon the bareback concrete in extreme temperatures. Little did they know that he would be just fine. 

Kiwi features as part of the latest edition of the Mushroom House series on Toy Tonics Records. He contributes alongside Ponty Mython, Tom Trago, Munk and The Barking Dogs.

PREMIERE: Kiwi - We Are Here [Toy Tonics]

Frank Wiedemann - co-founder of Innervisions and one half of German deep house duo Âme alongside Kristian Beyer - is launching a new label called BIGAMO, focused on music from outside the house spectrum.

Out 8th March, the first record on the label comes from Fred und Luna - an alias for German artist Rainer Buchmüller - who has previously released an EP on Optimo and remixed Prins Thomas for Innervisions. New album 'Im Klanggarten' is rather different - a new style which Buchmüller describes as 'Elektrokraut' or 'Krautelektro' - essentially modern Krautrock with an emphasis on beautiful melodies and modern electronic sounds.

We're premiering the opening track, 'Minisong'. It's a haunting, moody number with a slowly evolving melody that could soundtrack a misty morning by the lake.

PREMIERE: Frank und Luna - Minisong [BIGAMO]

Wolfstream was made in wintry St. Petersburg and absorbed the "cold of abandoned manufactories and the sound of empty railroad depot". The duo makes hasteless and mesmerising music full of analog synths, percussions and live basslines. On this cut taken from their new four track EP, they collaborate with a certain Mister Gray. Creeping out of the darkness of one of those ghost town monoliths above, it fills up with swirling ethnicity, military snares and sitar styled vibes. Coiled and apprehensive and ticking like a Soviet time bomb, it grows more menacing as you step closer. Beware.

I Am God

PREMIERE: Wolfstream - Precious Bodily Fluids (with Duncan Gray)[Mange_Moi]

For one of such royal heritage he lived a life far from the realms of luxury one might expect him to be accustomed to. The hole in the king's sock grew wider and wider each day as he trudged wearily through the forest, he cared not for gold and palaces but for the sweet essence of nature and the outdoors. Many had criticised his role within such mighty authority whilst others admired his humble reluctance towards the spotlight. For they cared not for the crown, the politics and it's reign but sought sweet freedom from its perilous clutches. 

Flexi Cuts are set to release their second EP in the form of a five track split. They invite a number of new found friends on to the label for the very first time.

PREMIERE: Yougrent - The Hole In The King's Sock [Flexi Cuts]
