Adrian 2023 Tunes 1

The third release for Sounds of Lava Lava is a Scottish affair with an Acid-tinged banger from rising star Kieran Apter and a thumping remix from Liam Doc.  Over the past year Kieran has hosted the likes of Anthony George Patrice, Brain Dancing, Man Power & Neil Flynn on his CB90 Dance Recordings and has been gaining acclaim for his forward-thinking and unique blend of House & Techno in his own productions.

Begin Again kicks straight into gear with shuffling drum programming and a brooding bass line.  Distorted meditation instructions ask you to begin again in this moment, lay your arms at your sides and take a few deep breaths before Kieran lays down a wicked Acid hook.  As the meditation draws you deeper into the track each new layer of the composition combines to create a mesmerising and tripped out cut which is bound to get any dance floor moving.

Liam Doc has been a staple of the Scottish dance scene as a DJ and producer for several years, gaining local legend status with residencies at RARE & Fly Club and clocking up releases on &Friends, Shall Not Fade, Huntleys + Palmers and Sulta Selects Silver Service as well as his own Eyeangle Records. On his Dub Mix Liam Doc shows his years of experience to create a thumping peak time club cut.  A punchy 4/4 beat leads into his chopped up take on the meditation instructions. Sub-heavy bass, bright pads, silky keys and euphoric breakdowns combine throughout the remix to make an undeniably ecstatic House groove.

RH010: BOOTS & KATS - PEOPLE'S DANCE EP
20 JANUARY 2023


Since 2015 Jack Keogh and Ciaran Martin, aka Boots & Kats, have established themselves as one of Irish electronic music’s most renowned touring acts . The pair came to DJ together initially as residents at Toast, a legacy house and disco weekly night in Dublin, before issuing a series of cleverly crafted, soulful disco edits.

The pair have since further crafted their own sound, combining elements of acid house, disco and infectious melodies to create peak energy moments in their sets, which have been a regular feature of electronic music festivals the world over, including Snowbombing, Parklife and Ireland’s own Life Festival.

Their debut on Hammer’s Remmah imprint sees the duo moving from their italo/disco influences to a heavier, club-focused sound. The EP title track is a full on 90s acid techno banger, with the rest of the EP charting a course through the cascading synth lines of Knox, the break-led groove of Nobody Else, and the driving techno of Push Pull.

Tracklist:
01. People's Dance
02. Knox

‘Day by day’: A classic Orlando Voorn cut with a live bassline, plenty of chopped samples and a Rhodes loop that could have come straight from a B-roll of a ‘First Choice’ recording session.

‘High’ is Orlando’s take on what could easily be an old Andrés track. Here, he samples a female vocal (I get high, I get high, I get high), and cleverly adds his own vocals to add depth and originality to the track. The percussion on high grooves in an effortless way and underlines the feel of this track: It’s fun, cool and incredibly funky. There’s a bit of Dam Swindle sauce on the mix to make sure this track hits the right spot on any dancefloor.

Northern Irish DJ, Producer and label head honcho Hammer - AKA Rory Hamilton - announces a brand new Various Artists compilation titled Remmah Rundown, championing up and coming and established artists from across his musical sphere. The project will be released in March via his Remmah imprint with the first double-sided singles Sickwave – a collaboration with KILIMANJARO – and I Know from Tokyo’s Remmy.

The first single to drop as a double sided track is titled Sickwave, a collaboration with the Scottish producer and DJ, KILIMANJARO. The release sees the two producers team up once again following their entry into Beatportal’s 50 top tracks of 2022 with the Tornado Wallace remix of their track Muleña; a song that proved to be that catalyst in catapulting the producer into the public eye with a debut London Boiler Room set alongside Fred Again. Raised in Scotland with familial roots in Zambia, KILIMANJARO combines his background of afro-centric rhythms and influences, infused with fast-paced energies of the western electronic scene. Known for his high-energy performances and his infectious crowd-raising persona, the past year has seen him return to the studio, bringing with him his rhythmic energy and completely unique vocal style to all of his production. Sickwave carries an infectious grooving beat that represents both of what Hammer and KILIMANJARO do so well, and is the perfect way to launch Remmah Rundown.

The second single, I Know comes from Tokyo’s Remmy, an artist strongly influenced by the re-edit culture inherited from the early days of dance music, as well as disco dub and nu disco that emerged in the early 2000s. With a pure acid influence, I Know is a mesmerising track that elevates itself with a thumping bass beat accompanied by incandescent synth hooks, creating a tactile, pulsating atmosphere.

Marking the label’s eleventh release, the compilation consists of heavy-hitting tracks from some of Hammer’s favourite artists new and old, highlighting Remmah as a label that supports new talent as well as building on Rory's connections to the electronic music scenes in Glasgow and Ireland, two places very close to his heart. More than half of the EPs released on the label have been debuts for the artists involved. A key component to Remmah is enhancing young creatives' work and shining a light on those who fit the Remmah ethos. Through this aspect, talents from further afield join the action, with Mexico’s ALF CHAMPION & MDHNTR, LA’s Club Tularosa and Tokyo’s Remmy all contributing their own takes on Remmah’s established sound of dynamic, italo and acid-infused, cosmic house and techno. Past Remmah artists including Anna Gram, Stevie Cox & Fossil Archive and KILIMANJARO return with brand new tracks, alongside Naum Gabo - aka Optimo’s JG Wilkes and James Savage - and Phonica’s YSANNE with her debut release.

Originally dedicated to his own productions, Remmah is Hammer’s digital only label. A product of lockdown, the label has allowed Hammer to create an outlet that has provided a platform to self-release, all whilst exploring various concepts and allowing his ideas to flourish. Meanwhile, the label also explores socially conscious values, with the second release, a LP titled Fonda, doubling up as an initiative to raise money for Mind Mental Health charity during an extremely difficult time. Remmah is ready and raring to go.

Label: Black Pattern Records (https://soundcloud.com/black-pattern-records)

"Sous le soleil de saubrazil" is a 6 track compilation that will be available on all streaming platforms as well as on vinyl. The project was born from a close collaboration between the label Black Pattern Records and the festival "Saubrazil" which will take place from the 27th to the 29th of July 2023.

What is Saubrazil?

3 days and 3 nights of madness on the program for the 1'500 expected festival-goers of the 3rd edition of Saubrazil.

Come and enjoy 2 bars, 3 food stalls, 1 campsite, 1 car park and much more...

A team of 60 Saubrazil volunteers will be on hand to ensure that you enjoy the performances of more than 25 local artists in a variety of styles in the best possible conditions.

Saubrazil being a festival mainly focused on house music, the idea was to give the festival its original music. Moreover, several artists present on the compilation will be on the festival's program.

It's an open project artistically, ranging from a very summery and festive music (faithful to Saubrazil), to more underground tracks referring more to the identity of the label.

Listen to this project will immerse you in the atmosphere of the festival even before it begins.

Swell

A high-gloss, runway-grade House EP built for fashion week afterparties, first-class DJ booths and velvet-rope dancefloors.

Catwalk struts in stilettos made of sub bass and high hats, dripping with syncopated basslines, glittering FX, and vocal drops that whisper in luxury tongue. Think: reptilian chic, champagne-fueled breakdowns, and hooks designed to echo off mirrors in Milan, Paris, or whatever club you think is too exclusive for reality.

Each track is a vignette — a character, a silhouette, a strut.
There’s no need for verses. Just statements. Phrases. Obsessions.
"Be rich, bitch." "Covered in gold." "Shameless."
They hit like perfume ads from another dimension.
