Vision Fortune - Basic Ways To Crack A Whip

Hookworms have announced The Hum, a new studio album due for release on Monday the 10th of November 2014 in the UK and Tuesday the 11th November 2014 in the US.

Pre-order The Hum:
Weird World – http://po.st/TheHumWW

The Hum comes eighteen months after the band's debut album Pearl Mystic - a record that steadily went on to become one of 2013's most impactful breakout statements. Even more ferocious and uncompromising than its predecessor and yet more melodic and focused than the band have ever recorded, The Hum further cements the band’s status as a vital force in British independent music.
Described by the band’s bassist MB as their attempt at “a really minimal two-note rager”, ‘On Leaving’ is six minutes of controlled power, the muscular drumming of new drummer JN gradually clambering up the notches through each repetition of the Leeds’ five-piece’s growling repeato-rock. Refusing to simply rely on a cyclical riff, the track is a testament to the subtle tangents that Hookworms constantly play off each other, keyboardist and producer MJ draping backing call and response melodies across the track, pushing onto more pop plains. 

The album will be available on CD (WEIRD040CD), vinyl (WEIRD040LP) and digitally (WEIRD040D). There is also a limited pressing, deluxe edition of the album (WEIRD040LPX), featuring a die cut sleeve, 180g heavyweight transparent vinyl, a bonus 7” with new tracks and MP3 download .

Oliver Huntemann's Senso Sounds label plays host to Berlin legend Andreas Hen- neberg for three tech-house cuts for the witching hour, including the floor-smashing "Movember" and the hypnotic, slow-building groove of title track "Slyly".
All three tracks are subtle but direct, intense on headphones and devastating on the dancefloor, precision-tooled for any DJ worth his salt.

The rubbery groove of the title track demonstrates the technical mastery of a producer that has put his name to over 140 releases. Saturated with ear-fizzing details and under- pinned by a buoyant bass groove, it's a cut crying out for a massive system.
The crisp kick, foghorn stabs and circling bass of "Movember" build to a virtuoso climax - testimony to Henneberg's extensive experience in both the DJ booth and the studio. "Caption" rounds off a fine release for the Voltage Musique Records founder, flashing you its snake eyes to hypnotic effect, with scything repetitions that demand complete submission to the rhythm.

Off Peak Dreams [Hookworms Remix]

Another good outing from Nein Records, this time with the 19 year old Jonah Considine the brains behind monthly club night Contradisco in Northampton.

With his debut single 'Golden Flu' set to drop soon on Nein, we're giving you a chance to get the jump on it by listening to the rather fine Cannibal Ink remix of the track.

Get this down you and fix that chesty cough;

The shopfront looked gloomy and mysterious in the streetlight. Dust sat layered in the windows and no light could be seen from within. The crew of revellers stood eagerly outside the door, a small queue had already begun to form behind them as they waited. Finally at midnight, the bolts were unlatched and it swung open. One at a time they were ushered inside and in the distance they could hear the sound of drums echoing. Below them there was a party underway, deep down in the basement, and they were going there. 
Mark E is forever on point. His latest EP for Futureboogie is on point and 'Basement Trax' is on point.

PREMIERE: Mark E - Basement Trax 1 [Futureboogie]

"Can you sang?" shouted the bartender. The down and out hell hole had been falling apart for decades amidst the Texas landscape. It sat discretely alongside the highway as it had for many years, its wooden shutters blowing gently in the breeze against the old shack of a building. Inside there were few customers, the drunken women behind the til would shout at each customer who entered challenging them to sing. Her strong southern accent bellowed sharply through the quiet as she called for a "sanger" over and over again. 

Hotel Lauer is the project of Phillip and Jacob Lauer, two German brothers with a taste for percussion, synths and drums. Here is their latest release on Emotional Especial.

PREMIERE: Hotel Lauer - Sanger [Especial]

The tree sat atop the far away hill amidst a sea of long green grass and reeds. In the distance the child could be seen swinging from one of the tallest branches, heaven knows how he had made it so high. All that could be seen was his shadow against the darkening afternoon sky as he swang to and fro. No ladder would reach as far up as to bring him down. All of a sudden the tree let our a solemn creak, it began to talk and whispered to the crowd which had gathered beneath the swinging child. It spoke...

"Burn me down, bring him home."

Based over the pond Suzanne Kraft has done a very good job of raising his profile in Europe. His sound fits perfectly on labels such as ESP, Melody As Truth, Running Back and now Kitjen. This latest effort sees him amp things up a tad as he releases three dance floor targeted tracks on the 'DJ Safety' EP.

PREMIERE: Suzanne Kraft - Burn Me Down [Kitjen]

The tables had turned on the world of spirituality. What had once been a thing so profound and adored had become black. Higher powers were at work beyond the understanding of those on earth, their worhsip had once been kind, loving and good but now the mass was tarred by a haunting set of moral judgements and all encompassing beliefs. This was a black mass. 

Amir Alexander has always had a close affiliation with Argot as a label, in 2012 he was the first artist to release on the imprint. Now he returns offering up a three track EP titled "The Butterfly".

PREMIERE: Amir Alexander - Black Mass [Argot]

One gun hung behind the bar, never had it been used before but there was an ever growing sense of tension amidst the gathering drunks. In the corner of the room a glass fell and smashed to pieces, this was met by a roar of laughter from the gang of youths to the left. The barman shifted nervously on his feet and glanced around the room. He dreaded the moment in which he might have to take action, make a move and use that gun, that lonely gun, that solo gun. 

Disco Halal are set to release a mini LP from Autarkic. Listen to track two from the record titled 'Solo Gun' . 

PREMIERE: Autarkic - Solo Gun [Disco Halal]

Released by X Novo Records worldwide and Humming Records in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Lyrics:

Being him is who you are
Lay her in her lover’s arms
He will never know why
He will never know why
And she will never know why 
The sun in my eyes burns like her
Being him is who you are 
Found you made us in a star
Eating us alive, all these young bodies turn 
Evolve on a word
You found in my mind
It’s all that I find
Here in a modern time
It’s all been asked of you now

And if you wanna sell your body
There’s a war to side
I don’t wanna say what I want first
In the middle of your desert 
Where I only made it worse would I..
Light them up and know that it’s done
There’s a bottle full of water 
I’ve been turning on it’s side
I don’t mind if I don’t find
Where it’s been running all this time
I don’t mind if I don’t see it
I don’t mind if  don’t feel it 
I don’t mind this game
I don’t know what to say

If being him is who you are
Say it loud say you know you are
If all of this flies apart
He will never know what you are
And he will never know why
The sun in my eyes 
Burns like her 
Eating us alive, all these young bodies turn 
Evolve on a word
You found in my mind

And if you wanna sell your body
There’s a war to side
I don’t wanna say what I want first
In the middle of your desert 
Where I only made it worse would I..
Light them up and know that it’s done
There’s a bottle full of water 
I’ve been turning on it’s side
I don’t mind if I don’t find
Where it’s been running all this time
I don’t mind if I don’t see it
I don’t mind if I don’t feel it 
I don’t mind this game
I don’t know what to say

Loopzilla - Walking On Sunshine (Club Mix)

There lies two sides to every story, a woman can be both a blessing or a damning curse upon a life. When she is around all can seem logical, pure and peaceful, yet there lies a sinister undertone to the way in which she has charasmatically charmed and cursed your days in such a way. There are moments of great happiness, love, joy and wonder yet they can be turned in the blink of an eye into a stormy whirlwind of loathesome, cold hearted desperation. When a woman is around all can change, all can change. 

David Holmes, Keefus Ciancia and Jade Vincent make up Unloved. Inspired by film scores, the rebellious mentality of 60's girl groups and beyond, they cast quite a presence. Sexy, sinister and exciting. Here is the Andrew Weatherall remix of 'When a Woman Is Around' which will be available as a 12" on RSD 2016.
