PREMIERE: Tobias Laun - Atlantis [TZH223]

SEFF debuts on Underground Audio doing what he does best here courtesy of a new EP that’s full of killer up-tempo hues and isn’t for the feign of heart. To put it mildly: this one will positively desiccate any dancefloor its allowed to roam free on.

The aptly named ‘’Warehouse’’ gets us underway. A booming track full of brilliant high-end notes, it’ll keep you intrigued throughout. On remix duty is none other than sometime Hot Creations man, Robert James. His remix is a more curious proposition full of ample percussive textures and a groove that keeps your attention firmly locked in throughout. 

The second half of the release gets going with ‘’Liquid Nights’’,  an unconventional track that’s buoyed by a host of spiky synths and unlikely vocal snippets. The drums are pronounced too, giving it a vague techno edge that helps lend it that something extra. 12Stories’ remix is more languid and laid-back, and in the process it helps give the release an added diverse gloss. Good times aplenty on this one.

To describe '3yr' as luscious would be an understatement as soft pads reverberate beautifully from the off while soft cymbals and hi-hats add to the groove and provide a steady drive. 

A fantastic EP from Rodrigues, one of the most versatile producers on the circuit.

Isolée’s Arrival

When three people run a label together it is exceptionally rare to find a positive unified opinion of a record upon first listen. When Isolée sent his "Mangroove" EP to Maeve, this was in fact what happened. But it is Isolée after all....

Mangroove came about last summer when The Drifter happened to catch Isolée's live set at a festival in Switzerland. Instantly blown away by the A side "Pisco" he was determined to find out what it was and if it was to be released. After chatting, Isolée suggested that he would send "Pisco" along with a couple of other "demos" to Maeve and a few days later the EP was happening.

Isolée has created some of the most important and beautiful records of our generation and has being a huge influence on what we do, thus we are incredibly excited and humbled to release his work.

This three track EP shows several different sides of the Frankfurt native, from the A-side dance floor catalyst that is "Pisco" to the deeper dubbier B-sides of "L5 Syndrome" and "Mangrove". This is the perfect record to mark our tenth release.

Dead End Thrills (Patrice Bäumel Remix)

Last year Rebirth Records celebrated 10 years with the release of the acclaimed compilation selected and mixed by Larry Heard. We are now happy to present 'Rebirth 10 Remixed': a special collection, available on a limited 2x12” vinyl edition, and three digital parts, including brand new versions of some of the classics of the label in the first ten years.

The first part includes remixes from Red Axes, Rampa, Modular Project and VVV. The hot Tel Aviv duo Red Axes bring their trademark new wave sound to a tropical dimension remixing Robytek's 'Luna Africana' combining unusual melodies of bells, chimes and perc drums. The Keinemusik boss Rampa is back with a killer remix of 'Deep Musique' by Pasta Boys Feat. Osunlade, definitely another dancefloor peak time cut on Rebirth. The italian duo Modular Project add their electronic-balearic touch to the Blond:ish vocal anthem ‘Wizard of Love’, while the misterious bass producer VVV reworks another classic on the label, ‘Crossroads’ by T-Polar, giving us a sublte but heavy deep and futuristic synth work. 

The cover sleeve is a work by Emil Schult, who has created a painting especially for the Rebirth's Anniversary. Emil is known for his work with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. Schult's collaboration with founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider saw him actively involved in writing lyrics as well as generating the design for some of the band's most famous covers.

"Underground Audio have unveiled their latest offering, System2's 'Life Sentence' EP.

Title track 'Life Sentence' kicks off the release, merging swung hi-hats and 909-esque percussion underpinned by a resonant bass pattern. The Manchester duo then enlists the services of heavy-hitters Mennie and Igor Vicente to provide two standout remixes - Mennie shifting the focus onto floating chord progressions and a glitched low-end, whilst Igor Vicente chops up vocals to provide a jacking take on the already thumping original.
'Dreams' seals the package with a concoction of layered synthetic noises and esoteric vocals, sure to take the listener through to the end of the night."

"Building on their formidable start to 2017, Underground Audio welcome Danny Serrano to the label with his latest offering.

The release kicks off with title track 'Coffee & Milk', seamlessly merging a hypnotic bassline with enigmatic vocal chops. Italian producer Vincenzo D'amico provides the first remix, utilising rolling toms to deliver a percussion driven groove. Rudosa, returning to the imprint after the success of his 'Ultimate Seduction' EP, focuses on the chordal stabs of the original in his Hood Mix. 

Serrano returns to close the EP with 'Dogs' - the rumbling low end providing the weight as percussive hits encased in dub delays play aloft, rounding off the release with staggering effectiveness"

Having recently provided Underground Audio with his remix of Javi Bora's 'Weapons', Barcelona favourite Piem presents his own collection for the label via his 'Rude' EP. 

Seething with attitude, title track 'Rude' champions weighty percussion straddled by pronounced chord stabs. Raffa FL flips the original, dousing it in biting hi hats and a hefty sub. The 2nd remix comes from Los Pastores, who approach the track from a different stance, shifting the previously choppy synths into an atmospheric roller.

Piem returns to close the EP with second original mix 'Over Me'. Muffled vocal samples unfurl to reveal dissonant delays spiralling into the shuffles of snares and shakers

Opening track “Deepa” sees Ramon plant his feet firmly on the techno floors with an incandescent relentless assault on the senses , pounding kicks and staggered rises pull you in as the industrial rhythms take the track to beyond madness with its filtered vocal drops. 

“Club Pirate” takes things into more tech house territory but still retains the heavy hitting club feel Ramon is renowned for. Again we are treated to a chopped vocal that meanders around a dark and hypnotic heavy kick workout. 

Closing the EP we enlist Vinicius Honorio to remix “Club Pirate” and he delivers a super charged electronic masterpiece akin to the sounds of Maceo Plex and the likes, a fine remix on a mighty fine debut from Ramon Tapia

INFO: 
Rydim is a mystery. Well, partly… One thing that isn’t a mystery is the high level of acid house authenticity at play here. Dark, heads-down strobe light seduction with the focus squared firmly on the soul of the dance. 

‘FOMO’ lives up to its name thanks to some ominous reese craft. Purring savagely throughout the track, leaving space for the sinewy 303s to dance wildly, it sucks you right in and spits you back out into the lasers at speed. Miss it, miss out. 

Don’t miss either Johannes Albert’s remix or the Bass Tool either; the former maintains the acid but re-shapes the bass into a warmer vibe while the latter strips everything back to that growing, heated bassline. Both will leave everyone in the house happy… 

Finally we have ‘Fairlight’. A homage to the mother of all samplers? That’s another mystery to solve. But we do know it’s another beauty from Ridym; naked beats and bass with crucial pads woven in for optimum breath-takes, every rush any dancer has ever felt since the 80s is saluted and celebrated right here. Rydim is a dancer…
