Deep Tech

Released: 12” 14th July | Digital 28th July 2014 

IN BRIEF 
Renowned for their sublime, lyrical take on dance music, DC / Berlin based duo Benoit & Sergio return to their spiritual home of Visionquest with some freshly crafted groove ridden thrills. More set in the smoke and heat of the club than their vocalised bittersweet visions, the ‘Your Darkness’ EP showcases the duo at their dancefloor focused playful best whilst incorporating infectious vocal samples, searing melodies and pulsing rhythms. Opener ‘Splash’ is at once murky and tropical as the bassline grinds underneath light footed percussion whilst title track ‘Your Darkness’ is a deep and moody groover with signature rich synth work. Closing track ‘Beat Macho’ is a wayward beast with a darker edge and satisfyingly complex chugging framework that makes for a heady trip into the depths of the night.

 BACKGROUND
o+ Leaving an indelible mark on a selection of pioneering labels since 2009 - Spectral Sound, DFA, Hot Creations, Culprit and of course Visionquest have all fallen prey to Benoit & Sergio’s unique brand of sensuous electronics. The duo first appeared on Visionquest for the imprints’ inaugural release in 2011 ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’ featuring the ubiquitous ‘Walk And Talk’ - a quintessential slice of romantic techno. Then in late 2012 the ‘New Ships EP’ further demonstrated the duo’s ability to mix visceral energy with the emotional.   

o+o Gaining the title of iTunes breakthrough electronic artists of the year in 2011 and featuring in RA’s best live act poll in 2011 and 2012, they also had the tracks ‘Everybody’, ‘Principles’, ‘Let Me Count The Ways’, and ‘Walk and Talk’ variously charted in top 20 year-end polls for Resident Advisor, Mixmag and DJ Mag. The duo have since been enlisted to remix heavyweights such as Matthew Dear, Metronomy, Hot Natured and covered Daft Punk.

o+o+ This year the duo is working on completing their long anticipated debut album co-produced with DARKSIDE aka Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, and set to be released on the magically diverse Other People imprint. A single will be dropped as a teaser in the not too distant future.

Bringing Soul Clap Records ever further into the future is the multi-disciplined Jay Haze. With well over a decade of focus in Photography, Film, Music and Video Jay's interest in Peace Activism has drawn him off the dance floor and deep into disaster zones, jungles and slums of the worlds most notorious regions. His widely known social based projects spread a positive tone of togetherness inspired by and routed in the dance music scene for more info check out his blog at www.jayhaze.org.

Jay has been a friend and mentor to us for more than a few years now. Not only is he a huge funk head, whose music we love, but we’ve spent many special moments looking out over the ocean from his beautiful apartment on the coast in Lima, Peru. One of the first unreleased songs he sent us back in 2012, even before we launched the label, was “Take A Dip”, a quintessential Jay Haze groove that added some serious guitar riffs and a solo that sent it to the stratosphere. We played it outside in the morning at Hideout Festival in Croatia that year and the reaction was immense, and was then followed by a year of tweets and emails asking what the song was.

One song does not an EP make and we’re very picky about our EPs here on The Mothership. It wasn’t until Jay send us two magical tracks that featured by an intriguing, exotic string instrument called the Mulatar built and played by his musical collaborator Jordi Lockruf that we had the full package. “Peru Berlin Connection” and “Mulatar House” are the first songs to ever be released that feature the Mulatar and we’re honored to have this special and very personal release on our label.

More in Jay Haze's words: 
“This EP is super special for me not only because i was able to introduce a new instrument to the world via vinyl (how cool is that?) but it was made with friends, and with the intention to put more music into electronic dance music. The song “Take A Dip" was recorded with Signor Andreoni on the beach in Sardinia, magical moment- simplistic but to a feeling! the other songs were made with Jordy Lockruf, a man who not only possesses an immense natural talent for string instruments, but also makes them by hand himself! We have taken this record as an opportunity to showcase the Mulatar, this beautiful all wood instrument, which consists of a bass, harp and percussions on the back and sides. The sound of this instrument is soo distinct because of the way it slides. It is a slide instrument, with wax contact to wood. At this point there have been 16 of them made by hand, and the sound of this beautiful instrument continues to mesmerize every time we play her.”

Format: Wav / MP3
Release Date: 27.05.2016

You can’t hold them, you can’t see them, but you can feel every single one. “Echoes“ are versatile and unique and that’s how the first longplayer of Beatamines sounds. Next to chunky, bass-loaded house sounds you’ll find techno dancefloor monsters and very smooth melodic stories on it. An album, made with passion and a long breath: Echoes was built slowly, with an intense study of production skills and Beatamines developed his style with every new song. Cooperations with Einmusik and Fabio Montana are on it and we are having some absolute stompers on. The 10 tracks are not seasonal or bound on any hype, just dancefloor music for the whole year. “Echoes“ will be out in May and it will be on your side for the rest of the year.

"Echoes" will be out May 27th 2016

PRESS RELEASE

June 13th 2016 sees Riva Starr’s illustrious Snatch! Records deliver the next instalment within their new compilation series entitled ‘In Dubb Vol.2’, ahead of their forthcoming label showcase during Barcelona’s prestigious ‘Off Week’.

All productions from this impressive 11-track offering have been especially handpicked by Snatch! Records’ main man Riva Starr to showcase the label’s dubbier side and provide a taster of what people can expect to hear at their highly anticipated ‘Off Week’ event, where Starr will headline alongside some of the imprint’s finest talents (Santos B2B Haiku575, Paul C & Paolo Martini, Pele & Shawnecy, Paride Saraceni B2B Astin, Ruben Mandolini B2B Ki Creighton and Upercent) at Barcelona’s intimate Macarena venue on June 15th.

Alexkid’s remix of Riva Starr’s ‘DubLife’ kicks proceedings off in suitable fashion, delivering a deep soul-infused House number that leads perfectly on to Dennis Cruz’s groove-driven ‘Orisha’, similarly offering a cool and collected rhythm at its core. Other highlights include Metodi Hristov’s slammin’ Tech House roller ‘Kattegat’, Ruben Mandolini’s twitchy House workout ‘Broken Down’ which boasts a very seductive Nina-Simone-esque vocal, the disco-tinged ‘Night Shift’ by Clio & Yvan Genkins and the brilliant hypnotic closing number from Markantonio named ‘Arp’.

In addition, the compilation also delivers a sublime selection of exclusive dancefloor-ready gems from some of House music’s finest established and upcoming artists such as the highly talented Snatch! artists Astin and Upercent, Brazil’s Hardmix, Germany’s Frag Maddin and Italy’s Riky Ild.

Oceans of Time - Bawrut Remix 
“Bawrut lives in Madrid and is one of the most exciting producers out there at the moment. We often communicate online about the climate crisis and how to be a touring DJ in that context - and I really enjoy our conversations as he has a lot of perspective on the situation and what we can do to be kinder to our planet. As an artist Bawrut has made some crazy dancefloor tracks these past few years, that has really brought him into the spotlight, with his own unique rave sound being released on labels like Life and Death, Correspondant and Ransom Note. I asked him to do a remix of Oceans of Time because I thought he could take the track to a new place and he definitely did with his monster bass synths and let-loose arrangement!”
