Trax

Time seemed to move slower on a Friday, maybe she was clock watching too much. She drummed her fingers on the table and moved her computer mouse about to create the illusion she was still hard at work. The only thing on her mind was signing out and logging on to the night's activities. The weekend held promise of hedonistic experiences, of spaces to dance and play, of meetings with old friends and conversations with new ones. Until Monday arrived, the responsibilities of the week had no place in her thoughts: she'd cross that bridge when she came to it.

There's plenty of celebrations in order for the next release on Violet's naive imprint. It's even in the name. A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Life is the debut album from London-based producer and DJ ELLES, which also marks the fifth anniversary of naive and the first ever LP to be released on the label. Across its 11 tracks, the album tells 'the story of a night out and all the nights out', and laces her own personal reflections of the bliss and freedom that going out clubbing gives us all - a cathartic subject as the release was predominantly written during a time that we were sorely missing these hedonistic spaces and the communities that frequented them. 

Sonically it brings together off-kilter dance music, acid, rave, Balearic, electro and a whole host of other sounds, all of which contribute to what ELLES dubs as "a love-letter to those vital community spaces for finding your people and pleasures and also about personal healing, processing life and discovering moments of clarity amidst the noise."

On the remix, Bootyspoon takes ELLES’ sultry, after-hours ode to saucy texts, transforming it into a glorious blaze of club filth, 3310 ringtones reverberating through a system-shattering bassline.

Fresh from the success of their Major Records debut with the immaculate Too Hot EP, Rinse France’s Whitney Weiss brings ELLES, Needy Beast, Evelyn, and Spatial Awareness into the Chinotto Records fold for The World, Reversed Remixes EP out on the 15th of March.
Released via Whitney’s newly founded imprint Chinotto Records, a label focused on spotlighting ‘moments of true dancefloor euphoria’, the EP gathers choice US and UK producers for five distinctive remixes that take the already warm and vibrant track to the club, the chill-out room, the
rave, and the afters. It also marks the label’s first foray into vinyl, with a limited hand-stamped run of 100 records.

Accomplished London-based producer, DJ, and songwriter ELLES elevates the original to new emotional heights with stirring vocals and ethereal synths, while Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Needy Beast gives a nod to house classics with a lush groove. Brooklyn-based DJ and producer extraordinaire Evelyn expands the track to seven tightly-coiled moments of
galloping beats for the rave and UK-based producer Spatial Awareness goes deep with nearly eight synth-fuelled minutes for pushing dancers a step beyond. The EP concludes with a new mix from Whitney Weiss: a perfect slice of house that keeps the warmth of the original with a longer run time
for dance floors.

Whitney says:
“I wanted to ask some friends and favourites to re-imagine a track that people kept saying ends too soon and their takes thrilled and moved me.
ELLES is fiercely talented and I was honoured that she chose to add vocals. Hers is the remix that so far has made everyone cry, including me. I think it’s a perfect mood shift at peak time for skilled DJs who want their audiences to find heaven within, etc.
Needy Beast had a storied presence in various New York music scenes and knows his way around a studio. He’s a talented vocalist and fun guy whose version has nods to house classics and an unmistakable lushness of its own (with some great backing vocals).
I’m a big fan of Evelyn’s music and was floored by her guest mix for my Rinse show; I wanted to have her on for a remix so the EP could have the range. She goes harder than I do production-wise as a general rule and I was excited to hear the direction she took this in, which was beats beats
beats.
The Spatial Awareness remix is one for the club at a full-floor hour. Love the synths on this, it’s imbued with that sweat dripping down the walls energy.
I felt like being clever and wanted a longer version that kept the original mood. Kevin from Valence Studios, who does all of our mastering, called it ‘a piece of genius that reminds me of the kind of fun that I miss from the old AVH cuts’ and that felt like winning an award/meant it had worked.”
As a DJ Whitney Weiss is a master of their craft at the centre of some of the world’s cutting-edge queer parties for over a decade. From deeply underground beginnings playing 8+ hour stretches in Argentinean factories and defunct train depots and a residency at the legendary Dengue Dancing
parties in Buenos Aires (where after five years a move to Berlin was a quieter pace of life), to residencies across Europe in the years since - including Club Sandwich, Wanderlust, Strangé in Paris and Dalston Superstore in London. They’ve played regularly to global audiences from Berlin to Milan to Reykjavík to New York, appearing on The Lot Radio, NTS, HÖR, and Teki Latex’s French TV Show Overdrive Infinity and many more. Whitney divides their time between Berlin and Paris, where they
are celebrating their tenth year on Rinse France

Premiere: Elles x Violet – YRNYB [Ears Have Eyes]

Fluidly hurtling in hot after NAA012, the newborn and MODXI, brings a refreshing ambience to Not An Animal Records with a deluxe, tasteful and elegant new release. MODXI is Sam Watts, who, with the help of his improvisational jazz saxophonist father, Trevor Watts and talented electronic producer Thomas Gandey, bring the new beat, Amalgam. The end result? A wondrous 11-minute shuffle that offloads some pure emotive action. Choosing to cruise hood down, Dark-Wave-esk drums skid towards a persistent synth wobble and transmogrify into a sentimental masterpiece. Striking piano chords stretch to the foreground and Trevor’s breathtaking sax complete the succulent harmonies, adding some serious psychotropic seasoning. On the B, experienced moonwalker Roman Flügel rattles the original into a nostalgic Techno bruiser - Toxic, pernicious, and seriously alluring. It winds up and down, weaves in and out, and in signature Flügel fashion adds more psychedelic edge. Whistling synth shots and a growling chunky bass are added to the captivating atmosphere, just before fully kicking off with destructive arpeggiation in the second half. Ouch! To close, the ever so mysterious Frank Butters returns for some explosive remix material, this time coming through with a deadly Electro heater. Watt’s saxophone scorches through the high end alongside a howling bass-line undertone, taking this track someplace else. Stylish Vocoder & synthesiser licks add the finishing touches to this stomper.

Never underestimate the power of a good bassline. Mark du Mosch certainly doesn’t. This veteran from the harbor city of Rotterdam let’s his vicious bass line creep up on you from behind on 202 AC Ra. A dark and jacking club belter with clear Chicago roots. The five track EP The Heavens may be his debut on SoHaSo, Du Mosch has been releasing music for over fourteen years on a variety of respected underground labels, such as Moustache, Dekmantel and Royal Oak.

His versatile style draws on sounds that evoke strong mental imagery and a sense of eternity, which clearly shows on the introspective Resonance Delay (She) on the B-side. In which a melancholic melody is supported by muffled slow motion beats.

The beautiful artwork on The Heavens EP is by Joost Stokhof, an Amsterdam based graphic designer who is known for his love for detail. Which makes him perfectly suited for Du Mosch’ subtle and well crafted dance tunes.

In a normal world you would open your EP with the title track. Du Mosch chooses to close with it. The Heavens stays true to it’s name. A harp like melody that washes ashore as foam from a greyblue Northsea that calmed down after the storm. Heaven indeed.

Coming as both vocal remix and dub – again conjoined in “discomix” style for the brave (dead) heads – this is Paton at his brooding, echo laden best. Rising and falling, Gerus’ refrain acting as dub melody around symphonic heavy bass. Tune in and dub out.

For their inaugural flight, Magic Bird coaxes left-of-centre master Golden Fleece into sacrificing a glittering, intergalactic original for the label's first outing. 'Schapelle's Boogie' bathes listeners in space-age sweeps and reverberating guitar struts, all tied together by a hypnotic bass arp and slick percussion combining in chuggy dancefloor salutations from Golden's parallel universe.

PREMIERE: Golden Fleece - Schapelle's Boogie [Magic Bird]

A huge discoball swung from the ceiling, glittering as it hung loosely on a single thread. The dance floor below it strewn with the remains of a debauched night under the veil of the night. The party had been over for a long time now and the space was silent, eerie almost. It was hard to imagine it had been crowded with swaying bodies only a day before, hypnotised by chaotic rhythms and flashing lights. It's funny how a place can change in the stark light of day...

Fabrizio Mammarella and Franz Scala's Slow Motion Records are back with the third volume of their Dimensione series, a V/A compilation that pays homage to Italo that wouldn't be out of place on a movie soundtrack. All the tracks have previously been individually released except today's premiere from Roman producer Guxi, which marks his debut to the label, and gets the bonus beat treatment from old label companion Brioski.
