MARK REEVE | Dice Remixes Part 2 [SOMA407D]

1.	Dice (Harvey McKay Remix)
2.	Dice (Pig & Dan Remix)

Part 2 of Mark Reeve’s Dice Remix package comes courtesy of 2 of Techno’s biggest names, Glasgow’s own Harvey McKay and the wonder duo of Pig & Dan. Both have turned in excellent interpretations of Mark’s storming original, each lending their own imitable style to the package.

Man of the moment, Harvey McKay steps up first and makes his remix, as ever, all about the rolling grooves. Choppy vocal cuts and solid percussion carve one funked up bassline out as Harvey slowly works in the original vocal sample backed by his own cuts while shard like rides slice through, taking the track up a notch. Subtle builds helps Harvey create tension before firing back into his sub-laden groove. Harvey’s real skill in this remix shines through in the arrangement that always seems to be increasing in pace, keeping the track interesting.

Taking things in a heavier route, the dynamic duo of Pig & Dan drop a blistering remix next. Pulsing low-end kick off their hypnotising remix which is layered nicely with skipping percussion and quick shots form Mark’s original vocal sample. Going into the break they add an almost discordant hook that keeps things eerie and dark. Subtle change in the percussion allows the track to flow as this version keeps proceedings firmly rooted in the dance floor. 

These two heavyweight names are a great addition to the previous instalment of this remix series that sees Dice make a fantastic return to the scene in 2014

For his latest 'Banana Split' EP on Swiss imprint Hive Audio, Wankelmut has this time teamed up with fellow German Schlepp Geist, and we've got the exclusive on 'Jowi', a synth-laden, rich throb that marks a distinct departure from the hook-happy releases that made a name for him.

Premiere: Wankelmut & Schlepp Geist 'Jowi'

Why do I have these lyrics in my head: "The heat is on, on the street / Inside your head, on every beat / And the beat's so loud, deep inside / The pressure's high, just to stay alive / Cause the heat is….boom, boom, boom, boom …on“? Exactly, it is time for a new episode of BBQ Techno and it’s pre-release "BT5“, highlighting the four exclusive titles of the full compilation.

We have to say, that we are super proud of the BT5 selection. What a bunch of great tracks, celebrating the summer and outdoor dancing, all of them genuine open-air monsters.

For the first track, L.A.-based Jon Charnis, who has already released some amazing music on Innervisions, Supernature, All Day I Dream or NO19 Music, has teamed up with Lone Star State’s Hands Free (My Fav Robot, Dilate). Their track "Leviathan“ is a blueprint for the sound of 2015: Deep, melodic and story-telling.

Next up is "Visa V“ by the Detroit/New York-based duo Ataxia from the Paxahau posse who have been signed by the Liaison Artist agency. "Visa V“ is a unique piece of music with unusual melodies and twists. A beauty with rough edges.

Schlepp Geist from Rostock has a strong and organically developed fan-base in and around Berlin, who is currently conquering the rest of the republic and Europe. "Tura“ is a rough and hypnotic charmer, with an old-school vibe. Working strongly on every floor.

The last but definitely not least track on this release, is the wonderful "The Space Between“ by the duo Moosefly. This act is currently delivering bomb after bomb and we are more than happy to have them on board now. "The Space Between“ has everything a tracks needs this summer. A perfectly crafted pearl.

@ilario-alicante - No End
Soma 445d

1-No End
2-Atoll

Soma welcome Ilario Alicante into the fold as he makes a welcome addition to the roster with his No End EP. Ilario has quickly risen though the ranks of the Techno elite and has crafted a well defined sound and his premier Soma release showcases a tougher, more jacking side to his productions. 

Title track No End wastes no time kicking things off as pure, unadulterated drums whip things into a frenzy before a simple, hypnotic organ leads things beautifully.

Atoll is a straight up powerhouse. A perfectly laid out DJ tool, banging beats and direct programming leave you with one nailer of a track.

The dark sounds and heavy textures are typical of Reeve and he’s showing no sign of slowing down yet. Four tracks of brooding techno, this EP is one not to be missed.
