The Playground Premieres and Exclusives - 2021

As an exercise in recreating the moment before the Chernobyl explosion, The Hacker and Commuter employ vintage synthesisers on Roentgen PT1, and the crafting of these sounds to create an unerring tension places us in the room as if we were one of the physicists watching imminent disaster unfold, being unable to do anything about it.

[PREMIERE] The Hacker and Commuter - Roentgen PT1

The latest release from the forthcoming EP by India's techno pioneer Arjun Vagale is a looping, fluxional piece of hypnotic techno. Structured through repetition,  Sustain Sequence becomes an immersive manifestation of Time Cop’s thematic concern. 

In Vagale's own words, "The main synth on Sustain Sequence was part of a much larger recording, and while scanning it, I found this nice chunk that sounds almost static but evolves slowly with minute modulations. I knew I wanted this to be a bit of a slow and trippy track that I could layer in my DJ sets."

Introducing 'The Wholesomeness of Waiting' - Chapter 3 of @pablo-nouvelle & @iamkinnship's upcoming collaborative album for Believe, 'Stones & Geysers.' Following the previously released 'Kilo' and 'Medicine,' 'The Wholesomeness of Waiting' displays both artist’s origins best; Kinnship’s understated and noble vocal melodies embrace you with the euphoria of a beautiful summer sunset, while Pablo Nouvelle’s deep menacing electronic beats and pulsating synth sounds lead you down the dark & forbidding concrete steps of a pulsating club bunker.

'Stones & Geysers' is released on November 5th, pre-order here: https://bfan.link/stones-geysers

Exclusive: Steve Bug - Ode To Wildpitch

Iconic artist Steve Bug takes it back to the old school with his Back To '95 EP on Will Saul's Aus Music label. The three tracker from the Berlin-based producers features two original tracks as well as a remix from the Queen of House Cinthie for the EP's title track, which features legendary NYC vocalist Mr. V. The EP's second original track is Ode To Wildpitch and, as the track title suggests, is a homage to one of Chicago's House Music luminaries, namely DJ Pierre and his musical legacy. However, the referred to Wild Pitch-sound was something the artist created when he moved to New York and this is were Steve Bug takes the listener back sound-wise. Some chords, a grooving bass line, few effects and we have a track that is as simple as catchy and ready to rock those dirty and sweaty floors it's meant to be played out. 

Steve Bug's EP  Back To '95 will be released on Aus Music on April 29th, 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Steve Bug - Ode To Wildpitch [Aus Music]

Artista: A2L
Sello: Full Circle Records

Nuevo estreno de A2L, Come On, publicado en Full Circle.

Full Circle, el proyecto en dúo de Alexis Le-Tan y Joakim, comenzó hace 10 años cuando Alexis descubrió accidentalmente que algunos de sus antiguos discos de Goa Trance, que estaba a punto de vender, sonaban genial cuando se reproducían a la velocidad incorrecta: 33rpm en lugar de 45rpm. Llamó a su amigo y colaborador de larga data, Joakim, para trabajar en ediciones de esas pistas, que se convirtieron en la firma sonora de este dúo de DJ: un sonido lento, pesado y psicodélico que eventualmente se infiltraría en los márgenes de la escena de clubes underground a través de DJs afines como Vladimir Ivkovic, Jane Fitz, Ivan Smagghe y muchos más.

Diez años después y con un montón de lanzamientos y remixes a sus espaldas, Full Circle decidió contar la historia de cómo nació este sonido Goa. En un momento en que el Trance ha hecho un gran regreso e infiltrado prácticamente todos los subgéneros de la música de club, parecía adecuado mirar hacia atrás a donde todo comenzó - cerrando el círculo, cuando el Trance no era Trance, Goa no era Goa, pero se estaban sembrando las semillas de la música de baile psicodélica.

Después de todo, hay innumerables compilaciones sobre el Balearismo, la escena cósmica italiana, The Loft, The Paradise Garage, etc., pero ninguna sobre las raíces de este sonido Goa. Esta es una compilación de las mejores canciones tocadas por los pioneros DJs de Goa como Laurent, Goa Gil, Mike Maguire, entre otros, entre finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. Proto House, New Beat, early Techno, Industrial, con un tono psicodélico distintivo, algunos arpegios aquí y allá, líneas ácidas, voces cortadas, todos elementos de lo que más tarde constituiría un género propio.

Esta compilación bellamente empaquetada incluye notas de Tom Colebrooke y extractos de la entrevista de Tom y Alexis a Mike Maguire, famoso por Juno Reactor, uno de los pioneros del Goa Trance. Además saldrá en vinilo en un LP de dos vinilos transparentes el 28 de Junio. Mientras te adelantamos el track B3.

Illidan ist ein dunkler Warehouse-Banger mit massiver Rumble-Kick und rollendem Low-End. Der Track baut sich druckvoll auf, schiebt konstant nach vorn und bleibt hypnotisch-minimal im Groove – ideal für Peak-Time bis Afterhour. Sounddesign ist roh und direkt, mit fokussiertem Bassfundament und reduzierten, treibenden Elements – pure Underground-Energie.

Track-Info:
• 128 BPM · ca. 6:00 min · Tonart ~ g-Moll 
• DAW: Ableton Live · Rumble-Kick / 909-Charakter

DJ-Notes (Cue-Punkte, ca.):
• 0:00 – Intro (DJ-freundlich)
• 0:45 – erster Voll-Groove
• 1:02 – kurzer Break / Spannung
• 1:19 – Drive zurück
• 2:18 – Haupt-Drop / stärkster Push
• 3:28–3:37 – Break / Luft holen
• 4:27 – letzter Lift-Off
• 5:22 – langes Outro zum Mischen

Kurz gesagt: schwer, dunkel, rollend – gebaut fürs Club-System.
