In the midst of the increasingly popular house music hurricane comes a fresh two track EP from one of the movement’s most promising talents, Richy Ahmed. Taking cues from hip-hop, techno, funk and disco, ‘The Drums’ EP arrives on the 2nd of December via Hot Creations.

Just stretching his limbs in terms of his discography, in less than two years the London-based producer has gathered some series attention. From 2011’s slinky, deep house mover 'Suck It' (Hot Creations) to his 80's chicago manipulation remix of Infinity Ink's 'Infinity', there’s always an enviable glisten about his work. His wizardry behind the decks lead to him being named resident DJ at DC10's Paradise this summer with the season coming to an end in late September.

'The Drums' got its maiden plays during Richy's Boiler Room Set and the takeovers of Paradise Ibiza. The EP steps out of the blocks with definite verve. Title track, 'The Drums', a hip-house barnstormer of a track it massages a buttery-smooth rolling bassline into a four-to-the-floor backdrop with contagious results. Legend, Kevin Knapp, jumps on vocal duty dropping in and out with praise to 'the drums'. On the flip side, '101 Jam' is a rolling analogue slice of deep house brilliance. Here, Richy pitches skittering hi-hats and hyperactive synth movements atop a robust bassline foundation. It proves homage to the brand of house celebrated right from the genre’s genesis.

“Seconds (Remastered)” resurge como un corte hipnótico y cuidadosamente restaurado de la mano de IK86, parte del tríptico introspectivo A.K.A., donde el productor alemán recupera tres piezas profundas originalmente publicadas bajo sus alias Zumbador y Yellow Page.

Lejos de una nostalgia vacía, “Seconds” se siente como un eco lúcido del pasado: pads nebulosos, una línea de bajo persistente y una arquitectura sonora que invita a perderse. El track avanza con una sensibilidad cinemática, casi fantasmal, dejando espacio al silencio como parte del ritmo.

Con más de una década de historia, este remaster no intenta modernizar lo que fue, sino devolverle su alma con mayor nitidez. Es un ejercicio de memoria afectiva, un puente entre identidad artística y madurez técnica.

“No quise rehacer nada. Solo escuchar de nuevo con otros oídos”, comenta IK86 sobre este proceso de reencuentro.

“A.K.A.” es una declaración de persistencia estética y emocional. No hay artificios ni gestos grandilocuentes, solo sonido sincero que resiste el paso del tiempo.

“Two Bedrock stalwarts - Digweed and Muir - join forces with ex Underwater boss, Darren Emerson, to create a beautifully fluid and driving, syncopated houser in the shape of 'Fanfare'; built around lofty synths and glacial acid licks.

Six months ago Beatamines X was released... Pascal Augner aka Beatamines poured all the experience, the fun, the excitement, the love, the thrill and the passion he cultivated in that decade while touring the world or spending countless hours in his studio into this album.

We from Lauter Unfug did our best to get some of the biggest Artists in the scene aswell as some of our label favourites to spice up this already delicious piece of Art.

For a little more than a decade the notorious duo known as Kotelett & Zadak has been making waves on the electronic club music scene with releases on Hi Freaks, Exploited Ghetto and Poker Flat Recordings amongst many others. So it was just a question of time until the two would touch down on Upon.You Records as well, ready to add some excellent bangers to the labels 2k19 catalogue.

The title track „Sapien“ exactly shows why Kotelett & Zadak have turned into a successful and in demand production force over many years, grabbing punters’ attention immediately with a spacial, hypnotic TechHouse attitude and a subtle, yet captivating and well trippy synth melody as a main motif that won’t leave your brains ever again.

With „Lord Buchla“ we see Kotelett & Zadak paying homage to one of the most remarkable and well known creators of modular synthesis machines, once again bringing forth a spatial, stripped down and reverberating TechHouse vibe garnished with ever morphing, precisely shaped modulations, fever’ish breakdowns and ghostly, evolving sounds floating through a sonic realm best to be described as Intelligent Techno for a dedicated crowd of underground music lovers.

On remix duties for the title track „Sapien“ is Echonomist, a seasoned craftsman of the Greek club music scene. His variation takes the original cut to a whole new level, introducing a deep, brooding vibe, busy synth bleeps and an epic, slightly oriental main motif to this rework which defo deserves an exposed spot in every peaktime set over the course of the next year orr beyond.

Finally the ‘Echonomist & Marco Resmann Remix Dub‘ of „Sapien“ keeps well up with the spatial, hypnotic vibe of this whole EP, presenting large scale build ups, busy hi-hat and shaker arrangements as well as a phenomal mid-range motif perfectly aligned with the deep, mystical undertone of the tune, bringing forth a further variation for the darkest hours of the night.

After four outstanding various artist releases, Hot Creations off­shoot Hot Waves is back with it’s first full artist release ‘It’s Over’ from Bristol sensation Waifs & Strays aka Amos Nelson and Rich Beanland. Jamie Jones and Lee Foss first snapped up the talented producers in 2011 with ‘Body Shiver’ for Hot Creations. This time they deliver two dancefloor weapons with infectious vocals and bouncing basslines just in time for summer sun.

In 2010 their debut release ‘3am’ on Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom imprint set the benchmark high for future success; featuring in DJ Mag’s essential releases, and picking up props from major players including Luciano, DJ T, Anja Schneider, dOP, Danny Tenaglia and Laurent Garnier.

The follow­up record ‘Yeah Yeah’, gathered significant international support following its debut at Detroit Music Conference, smashing dancefloors from Fabric to Watergate.
o+o Since then the pair have released records on Leftroom, Resonance, Futureboogie and Dirtybird, with support from Pete Tong in the form of Essential New Contender and another Essential New Tune in the form of ‘I Saw Yo Girl’, released at the beginning of 2013.

2013 sees Waifs & Strays continue a relentless schedule of touring and producing with tours planned for Australia and the Americas, and a number of releases on the way.
