JOYCE MUNIZ ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE ‘COVER ME UP’ FROM FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM ‘MADE IN VIENNA’ 

The album will showcase the latest evolution of her sound, moving her from the dance floor into a space somewhere between the club and the home, aided by a slew of perfectly crafted vocals. (Kaltblut Magazine)

Since going strength to strength, remixing the likes of Stereo MCs, Maya Jane Coles, Steve Bug, and Till von Sein, the album breaks new ground for Joyce, allowing her to dive deeper into songwriting. (Deephouse Amsterdam)

Joyce Muniz will unveil her anticipated debut album ’Made In Vienna’ – due Oct 21st via Exploited. 

Now, Joyce Muniz shares new single ‘Cover Me Up’ – featuring honeyed vocals from Kat Vinter. The single includes remixes from ANNA (nominated as "Breakthrough Artist" for Electronic Music Awards - Ibiza) and Waifs & Strays.

DJMAG:
Joyce Muniz lands on Exploited on 1st August with ‘Cover Me Up’, the single taken from her forthcoming album ‘Made In Vienna’. The original version features the honeyed vocals of Kat Vinter, but on her remix, Muniz’ fellow Brazilian ANNA turns in a weighty slab of trippy lights-out techno, complete with heavy kicks and rattling percussion.
Speaking about it, she says, “The original is deeper and has a strong focus on the vocals, I wanted to make it more underground, still keeping the deep vibe but with a different kind of energy.”

Atelier Francesco feat. Astrid - Dead End (Frankey & Sandrino Remix)

The latest in a series of releases from Loveland Recordings comes from Neumatik studios in Zagreb, Croatia where Petar Dundov recorded the lush collection of tunes known as Falling In EP; Petar’s first solo EP since his critically acclaimed album earlier this year on Music Man.

Petar Dundov is known as an artist who makes you re-think musical boundaries. His EP dances from the emotional warm sounds of ‘Falling In’ to the trippy synths and echoes of ‘Entangled’ and the heavy bass and vocoders of ‘Mind Must Be Free’ without ever brushing the clichés of any one genre. 

Petar Dundov’s EP follows up the double 12” celebrating 20 years of Loveland with seven A-sides from the likes of Anthony Rother, Aril Brikha, Arjuna Schiks, Egbert, Dosem, Mathew Jonson and Vince Watson, a ripping EP by Ian O’Donovan, Karim Sahraoui’s gem Sacred Kingdom EP, the beautiful Oracle EP and the chart topping Loveland Festival EP by Matador.

Jeremy Olander ends 2016 on a strong note with 'Caravelle.' The extended player's closing track 'Shuttle' is a particularly fascinating cut, demonstrating why he's up for Beatport's 'Progressive Artist of the Year' award by providing a complex, ethereal soundscape perfect for catalyzing moving moments on the after-hours dance floor.

Manual Music kicks off 2017 with something truly special. Nearly a decade after it's initial release on Deep Focus, 'Been Here Before' by Guy J gets a remix treatment by Namatjira. These are not just a couple of new remixes, but these were born out of the idea to create an ode to Jerry van Schie, co-label owner of Deep Records and Deep Focus, and driving force behind the Groovecollection brand who passed away in 2016 after losing his fight to cancer.

In the words of Namatjira: 'After the funeral of Jerry I was thinking I wanted to do something musical to honor Jerry with. It took me a few to know what I wanted. When I opened the old Deep (Jerry & Peter's label) catalogue there was immediately one track that caught my attention, 'Been Here Before' by Guy J. I contacted Peter to see if he was willing to share the parts with me and he agreed immediately with me. 

I started working on the track and made two versions. I told Guy the story and let him listen to the sketches I had made and together we made a final choice. Then I finished the instrumental and contacted Ben "Royal Sapien" Mautner if he wanted to give the vocal parts his touch to make it work with my instrumental. 

When we both were satisfied the first big bump I had to take was to talk to Jerry's brother and hoped he would feel the remix. He defenilty felt it and contacted Jerry's wife. Later that week I had her on the phone and she told me she cried during the complete song, I had goosebumps all over my body and a lump in my throat.'

All proceeds for this release will go to Jerry's wife to donate to whatever charity cause she feels appropriate.

Making a welcome return to Sudbeat, the talented Dutch musical master Roger Martinez. Gracing many standout labels inclusing  GEM Records, Lost & Found, Plattenbank and Tronic, this fine DJ and producer keeps delivering the goods with this new three tracker. 

Titletrack is ‘Moksha’, a hypnotic wondrous gem, that locks you into its hypnotic groove, as pads and chords gel, while lasers sweep around, and a crisp percussive construction surrounds. We saunter along as cool synths and squelches join the adventure, while the dreamy yet murky break down comes in to its own.

‘Neumarkt’ is a punchier cut, laced with cool percussion, some misty pads and a mesmerising vibe. Trippy vocal snippets, crisp beats and sweeping sounds add to the mix, creating a fantastical voyage.

And to finish things properly, ‘Godess’, a filthy little number, with its cool swagger unpinned by some nice low end bass, while a bubbling top-line tinkles away beautifully, all creating a magnificent soundscape to create a dance floor frenzy. Its subtleties here being its strength as we meander effortlessly along, raising many a smile en route.

Darin Epsilon’s label Perspectives Digital returns for the fourth consecutive year with its massively popular ‘MMW & WMC Sampler’.  The 2017 edition continues the tradition of showcasing some of the finest talent in the industry.  This year features new music from (in alphabetical order): blaktone, Hasan Mogol & Be Morais, Kamilo Sanclemente, and Paul Kardos.

The first selection of the series is provided by DJ’s Roma Rone and Igor Ri9or.  blaktone is a brand new music project from Saint-Petersburg and their music is a symbiosis of progressive and techno sounds.  Ri9or is no stranger to the electronic music scene with releases on labels such as Balkan Connection, Bonzai Progressive, Visceral, and Pangea Recordings.  blaktone’s ‘Aurora’ teases the listener with threads of atmospheric sweeps but quickly launches into commanding force with its dark and gnarly bassline.

Teaming up for the second selection is Hasan Mogol and Be Morais.  Born in Germany but now residing in Turkey, Hasan has been creating an array of hypnotizing, crowd-pleasing sounds for over ten years.  Brazilian producer and co-owner of Not Another Music, Be Morais, is rapidly establishing himself as a respected artist with his steady stream of works on Stripped Recordings, Dear Deer, and Slideways.  Hasan and Be Morais’ collaboration on ‘Awkward Dance’ crafts an undeniably industrious and sinister vibe with its pounding kick, haunting bassline and grimy chords. 

Next up is Kamilo Sanclemente making his third appearance on the label. The Colombian producer maintains his masterful discography on imprints such as Einmusika, Baroque, and Mistique Music.  He’s a staple on the Progressive House charts and a constant presence in Hernan Cattaneo’s charts and ‘Resident’ radio show.  Kamilo’s offering titled ‘The White City’ pushes the listener into a spellbinding state with its vigorous layers of percussion and eerie vocal samples.

Completing the series is Hungarian producer Paul Kardos.  Paul’s impactful debut on Perspectives titled ‘The Other’ was instrumental to the success of the ‘2016 ADE Sampler’ last October.  Paul brings his signature blend of melodic techno and contemporary progressive house with his newest production. In ‘Ancient Astronaut’, the dominating groove and whimsical chords continuously build, creating for relentless tension that satisfies in the third act by a dramatic finish.

The White City

Kamilo Sanclemente - The White City (Original Mix) [Perspectives Digital]

One of Dancing Astronaut’s artists to watch in 2017 and the man behind one of the most impressive debuts of 2016, Beatport #1 album ‘One Day of Independence’ on Guy J’s Lost & Found, returns to home ground. This time in the shape of 5 incredible remixes by some of electronic music’s most intriguing and brightest stars.

Lehar, Luca Bachetti, Patrice Baumel, Termoment and Lost & Found head honcho Guy J have each reinterpreted their favourite off Khen’s future classic debut.

‘Imaginal Cells’ has been repurposed by the label boss himself into a beautiful slice of melodic goodness. With trippy FX details and a serene breakdown, its yet another Guy J classic rework. 

Diynamic's Lehar offers his take on the Khen and Guy J collabo ‘Prism’, turning down the intensity of the original with a sophisticated touch, he leads the track to deeper waters with an infectious melody that marries the familiar underlying key elements of the original in perfect symbiosis.

The sonic voyage continues with Luca Bachetti’s groovish take on ‘Authentica’. Adding to the recognisable lead melody, he gives the track an almost cinematic and atmospheric treatment that leaves you longing for more.

Patrice Baumel, fresh from the success of his recent remix of Cubicolor, tackles ‘Land of Goshen’. Taking the track in a more driving and pumping direction with a nod to 90s classic Trance, this track will cause a stir in sets from dusk to dawn.

Closing the collection on a trippy vibe with hints of old school Acid and an uncanny detailed soundscape that will leave you in awe, is Termoment’s take on ‘One Day of Independence’. A beautiful and fitting finalé to this weighty package of reworks.

4. Khen - Land of Goshen - Patrice Baumel Remix

The television set flickered and buzzed in the corner of his bedroom. As he ate his breakfast in solitude he pondered what the day might hold for him, productivity, despair or joy. These days his life was varied and distinct, far different to what he had perceived it might be as a small child. Ray, they called him, a man about town. Little did they know of his reluctant existence on the 12th floor flat. His anxious tendencies and his distaste for the world outside. 

Hammer is best known for his musical output on Feel My Bicep and Optimo. Now he steps up to release a new three track EP on LOFT Records.

// Get Oliver Koletzki's new album 'The Arc of Tension'
incl. 'A Tribe Called Kotori' here: OK.lnk.to/TheArcOfTension

Artist: Oliver Koletzki
Release Title: The Arc of Tension
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT193
Release: 2016-05-19

On his sixth album, The Arc of Tension, the Berlin based DJ, label owner and producer OLIVER KOLETZKI yet again presents his remarkable vision of contemporary electronic music, while he assumes the role of a storyteller. The Arc of Tension speaks to its listener as a singular, self contained work, which communicates by way of its natural flow and arc of suspense. The latter is mirrored not only in the multifarious narrative of the actual album, but can also be understood as evidence for its creator's long musical history.

While Koletzki focussed on a diverse range of vocal collaborations on his previous long players, he now moves on to a different form of storytelling, rooted in the quiet confidence of a veteran musician, as well as the hectic lifestyle of a globally in demand DJ. The Arc of Tension is the psychonautic journey through the various continents of Oliver's consciousness. The quiet chirps and warbles, which initially unfold on the opener 'A Tribe Called Kotori', thus act as a loose associative bridge to 'Der Mückenschwarm', Oliver's big breakthrough hit of 2005. The first minutes of the album leave no room for doubt – we are immediately locked into an autobiographical world of sound that knows how to captivate from the get go. The dreamy, exotic timbres of the downbeat tracks 'By My Side', Tankwa Town' and 'Byron Bay' penetrate our minds in a subtle yet purposeful manner. But soon the tension tightens and organic sounds one by one evolve towards a sterner, electronic cadence. The bittersweet neon synths of 'Spiritual Not Religious' pave the way for the complex rhythm of 'A Star Called Akasha', an early highlight carried by melancholic cellos and contemplative piano chords. The ultimate turning point follows with 'Through the Darkness'. Here, at the album's centre, Koletzki starts continuously upping the tempo and leads the way with his very own, melodic interpretation of today's techno Zeitgeist, which he has been shaping since 2015's 'Iyéwaye'.

'Planetarium', 'They Can't Hold Me Back' and 'Chaturanga' exemplify, moreover, that a fusion of delicate musicality and sheer force leads to impressively ecstatic results. With its rough guitar chords and the acidic chitter of the TD303, 'Power to the People' rings in The Arc of Tension's ending, until we fully take off into space, weightlessly propelled by the ambient drones of 'The Day We Leave Earth'. Ultimately, what lingers is the feeling that we are being granted a deep glance into the innermost being of an outstanding artist.

As Guy J's exceptional Lost & Found imprint reaches the milestone 50 releases, they look back at 3 moments which have made the label so successful. Bristling with talent, the label has showcased the amazing Israeli progressive scene like no other. First up comes long time friends and collaborators, Sahar Z and Navar with their 2017 smash, When We Face Reality re-edited by an inspired Khen. Deep, soulful and utterly beguiling, the melodies soar in melancholy wonder. Khen is the next artist to get the remix treatment, this time from Belgian superstar Hermanez. Focusing on Khen's incredible sound design, Hermanez builds a uniquely melodic groover from all manner of percussive sources. Finally, Luka Sambe's Sooti, here gloriously reimagined by Eli Nissan. The most uptempo of the trio, Eli weaves a nuanced tail with sweeping sonics, deep pads and cleverly orchestrated toplines.
