Anja Schneider further demonstrates her creative versatility and musical evolution with ‘Aura’ - a collaboration with singer/songwriter Sophie Hunger. 

The relationship between the pair goes back to Anja remixing the track ‘There Is Still Pain Left’ from Hunger’s 2018 album ‘Molecules’. A track which slipped under the radar through 2019 but enjoyed a resurgence in the second half of 2020 with a number of radio plays from stations desperate for music which fitted the more thoughtful, slower pace of lockdown life. This unforeseen consequence relit a creative spark. Conversations happened between the two Berlin-based talents and the idea for ‘Aura’ was born.  

Despite living in the same city, the collaboration was recorded remotely between the Blackhead Studios where Schneider is based, and Hunger’s apartment kitchen-come-studio. Despite this physical separation ‘Aura’ oozes emotional resonance. Hunger’s lyrics shimmering with an intense yet fragile quality over Schneider’s deeply felt melancholic soundscape. A joint expression unashamedly coloured and shaped by the shared experience of living through a typically brutal Berlin winter during continuous pandemic lockdown. Feelings spelt out by the lyrics in ‘Aura’

Bring me to the place with all the strangers
Dance me to the end of the blue moon
Let me move back to the house of dangers
Make tomorrow  come soon
Make tomorrow come soon

In the longest of all nights, meet me at the channel
Lets Carry the light to the end of the tunnel
Carry the light to the end of the tunnel
Carry the light to the end of the tunnel

Aura

Wankelmut feat. John La Monica - Wasted So Much Time (Kiwi Remix)

The 34th release on microCastle sees the long awaited re-issue of  Grammy nominated producer Barry Jamieson's 'Stars'. The seminal track was originally recorded in 2002 shortly after Evolution disbanded and was subsequently released in 2004 under the alias of Invisible Inc. The track gained huge popularity when Sasha began opening many of his sets with the ambient version well over a year before the official release. The storied UK DJ also featured 'Stars' as the closing track on his famed 'New Emissions of Light and Sound' DVD soundtrack which saw Sasha, Barry and Charlie May win best original score at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival in the Extreme Sports film category. It's irresistible and emotionally charged melodies made it one of the most sought after pieces of music at the time and was accompanied by several club interpretations for the official release. John Digweed was also a huge supporter of the record and featured the 'Unbroken' Mix in many of his live and radio sets. For the reissue we have included the original ambient and original club versions which have been previously unavailable along with brand new remixes from label artists Charlie May and Guy J.

The krankbrother label comes back out of the blocks this May, hot on the heels of their inaugural release (produced by krankbrother themselves), with a second offering, this time from young Welsh producer Jody Barr.  Having been producing and demo-ing material for the last couple of years, Barr has been picking up some fans of late, including George FitzGerald and B-Traits, and this release on krankbrother marks his debut single, and a bright future.

With its heavy kick and growling sub-bass dominating the release opener, “Room 108” smacks of ‘big-room’ in all the right places.  Barr works the basic elements to maximum effect, serving up a hefty peak time track that straddles the line of house and techno with ease.

Continuing at this pace, “Think About It” once more relies on the powerful drums for its impact, adding dramatic rising synths and sunrise strings to carve out a most hedonistic production, whilst the energy levels don’t let up for one minute as “Arizona Dream” fuses its dubby techno sounds with goose bump inflicting pianos and soft strings to memorable effect.

Jody Barr “Room 108” is released on krankbrother on 18th May 2015 on 12” vinyl & digital download.

The prolific production partnerships of Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye, Timo Maas & James Teej and the solo force of Citizenn take Róisín Murphy’s ‘Jealousy’ to new levels with fresh remixes of the smash single released earlier this year.

Róisín Murphy’s compelling vocals are set in new bright landscapes by disco dons Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye, London retro-futurist Citizenn hot of the heels of his debut album on Crosstown Rebels and Timo Maas & James Teej. Co-written and produced by the great Sheffield bastion of house, The Crooked Man AKA DJ Parrot (Crooked Man), formally of Sweet Exorcist (Warp) and All Seeing I (FFRR).

Róisín Murphy has become one of the most competent, enduring and influential figures in the pop, disco and electronic music worlds. The Irish singer-songwriter originally broke into the charts as the frontwoman for Moloko, delivering music that was leftfield electronic and pop-orientated. Her consequent output, three stunning solo albums, and Mi Senti a beautiful Italian language EP with The Vinyl Factory alongside guest vocal presence on labels like Hot Creations and Permanent Vacation have ensured Róisín’s enduring legacy and constant evolution as an artist. ‘Jealousy’ was also mixed by the legendary Eric Kupper, who was a production partner with Frankie Knuckles and Dave Morales and whose K-Scope releases were a staple of 90's American NY House.
