B2	The Mole & Tom Trago - Down The Hallway (Original Mix)

Short info: 
Circus Company and The Mole have long been making eyes at each other across the same crowded dancefloor. Colin de la Plante’s primary project is synonymous with the off-kilter corner of house music we like to spend our time dancing in, and the labels he releases on are close cousins of the Circus troupe. From Wagon Repair to Philpot, Musique Risquee to Perlon, it’s a wonder that we haven’t worked together previously, but finally that’s been put right with Little Sunshine.

Stripped back, understated disco grooves have always been the bread and butter of The Mole’s sound, while infectious, cyclical melodic patterns are equally important in making his unique version of house music. On the title track, those elements are presented with full force, but in between the driving rhythms linger the most gorgeous keys, bringing a mellow introspection to the track as a neat counterpoint to the energy of the drums and arpeggios.

Compared to the clean lines and peppy tempo of “Little Sunshine”, “Discotheque Airplane” is an audacious swerve into low and slow territory, where dusty samples rule the day and the bass swells in and out of earshot with a truly mesmerizing effect. It’s a moody affair loaded with tension, mystery and funk in abundance.

As if that wasn’t enough proof of the variety in The Mole’s repertoire, on his collaboration with Dutch hero Tom Trago for “Down The Hallway” we find the pair exploring lean, focused techno, where the simplest of rhythms propel a haunting, distant vocal lick. It’s the drum sounds that make this a special cut, championing warm, natural percussion instead of the methodical drum machine hits found in most contemporary techno.

Rounding the EP off in a beautifully mysterious style is Aardvarck, whose remix of “Down The Hallway” takes the subtle foundations of the original and builds delicate, lilting melodies on top. With creative distortion and masterful layering of the many synth parts, it’s a captivating, emotionally-loaded slice of inward-looking music that adds to the intriguing, alternative vision of dance music proposed on every track of this 12”.

Bergen is the next, and natural step in the expanding career of Dutch producer Tom Trago. The acclaimed producer behind Voyage Direct will release his fourth LP, with the label and crew he's built a close relationship with over the past ten years - Dekmantel. With a new studio and approach to music, Bergen is Trago sounding at his very finest, returning to his roots with a focussed, and dedicated production ethos.

“If you change your environment, your music will also change with you,” Trago reflects on the new album. A staple in the Amsterdam club scene, Tom Trago has been a familiar face at the Dekmantel events for over ten years. “I was even playing Dekmantel parties, before they were even called Dekmantel,” he states. Tom Trago's collaboration with Dekmantel has allowed him the space to grow and finish his most accomplished, and honest album to date. Bergen is an LP that connects his legacy, family, and commitment to dance music in one resplendent package.

Australian born, London based DJ and producer HAAi gets tapped to supply her eclectic electronic excursion 'Drumting' to DGTL Records' first Various Artists EP. 

HAAi has risen rapidly during the past few years, with a standout set in Mixmag's The Lab LDN and most recently winning the title of the BBC’s ‘Most Essential Mix of 2018’. She's become widely known for her unique approach to DJing, fusing a globally-influenced blend of electronic and acoustic elements, but now as she expands her catalogue of original material we're given a much deeper look into her sonic persona. 

The 'Various Artists Volume 1' EP, which also includes tracks by  Rebolledo and Paulor, Axel Boman and JP Enfant, is set for release April 12.

Tom Trago - Whisper / Belltower - Jong Nederland - JNL01

The Jong Nederland story begins with two tracks of undulating, slowly shifting dancefloor voodoo rich in crunchy drum machine hits, lilting electronic melodies and instinctive dancefloor warmth. On the A-side you’ll find “Whisper”, a hypnotic but fluid affair where hushed melodies tumble down over off-kilter polyrhythmic machine drums, spaced out effects and bubbly, ever-changing analogue electronics. 

B-side “Belltower” sees Trago up the tempo a little and bounce us towards the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Utilizing a rubbery rhythm track full of sturdy but supple kick-drums and hissing cymbals, Trago layers up fizzing synthesizer lines, poignant minor key chords, wiggling acid-style motifs and starburst electronics to fire the synapses and stir the senses. Like its’ A-side companion, “Belltower” gently twists and turns throughout, reflecting the real time, hands-on changes made by its creator during the spontaneous sessions that led to its creation.

Following his solo 12" debut in November on AC Records, Armec returns with a 4-track EP on Echocentric Records. 

The music on offer is rich and emotional, microworlds of subtle melodies, pads and sci-fi drones that ooze both melancholy and hope, and will appeal to anyone into electro, IDM and techno.

A-side is a nod to Robbie's IDM roots. Just check the expansive soaring synth-work on "Auden" and the analogue moods of "Conceptualise". The droney, murky & dystopian sci-fi soundscapes of side B offer another view into Armec's production work.

Keep an eye out for Armec in 2020, more quality releases on their way.

A1. - Auden
A2. - Conceptualise
B1. - Disassociate
B2. - Dystopian Reality

Armec - "Diametric EP" is scheduled for release on the 24th of Jan 2020 both on vinyl and digital formats.

Armec - Diametric EP - ECR003

The sixth transmission from Squirrels On Film has arrived on vinyl record. Known for its 808s, Bass, Alligators, & Cocaine Cowboys, Florida is the home of Vanguard Sound's Chris Mitchell, who follows his contribution to Squirrels On Acid with an EP of four absolute Rippers at the intersection of classic booty bass & new-school goth electro.
	“Every Asshole” announces its presence with an up-tempo red-lined booty beat that will shake the walls of the Strip Mall Strip Club in any neighborhood. Funk is the key ingredient, and it is added generously, even when the synthesizer melodies bring in a darker texture. 
	“Grippers” is more sinister, but no less funky. Dirty South Cold Wave at full frequency, propulsive & punk rock, but this is strictly party music at its core. The drum patterns stay in perpetual motion, programed with skill & precision.
	“Sh4” is another banger. The sound of a malfunctioning Fairlight over intricate drums & angular arpeggios. Mitchell's tracks never sit still, and again here, the drum programming shines. This is someone who has put in their 10, 000 hours on the MPC, and it shows.
	“Land Of Make Believe” slows things down & turns ups the Goth. Cybertron Sci Fi Soundtrack moods, but rump shaking nonetheless, wordless alien vocal textures & synth strings weave with the drums, which here are slightly more sparse than the previous tracks, but programmed with the same attention to detail. 
	If you're familiar with Chris Mitchell, this EP will not disappoint, & if this is your introduction to his music, you'll be wanting to hear more. This sixth release from the world of Squirrels is NOT for standing around at the party looking cool. This for shaking the tail, sweating with strangers at legendary all-ages club & birthplace of Miami Bass the Pac Jam in hedonistic abandon.

Various - Clear Memory 003 - CLEAR003 - 12" Vinyl

With it's third issue, Clear Memory is about to bring future good memories. Kicking off are tracks by Mr. Beef - who is a founding member of the crew and puts out a nasty anthem - and Hayter who is celebrating his solo debut reflecting his gastronomical preferences. We are yet again forcing our members to interact vigorously in order to form new groups such as Yarn Init & Stranded Wires who share not only the side of a record but also their sound aesthetics: sharp machine funk. A record to listen to as a whole. A walk in the park - a step in the dark. Don't trip!

Alejandro Mosso [XYZ013]
Release Date : 1.24.20
Purchase : www.beatport.com/release/sirocco/2807891

An Argentinian who’s musical forte has been bred in Berlin, Alejandro Mosso has been at the forefront of developing innovative percussive, organic and delicate electronic music for more than 15 years. Through challenging the understanding of what dance music could be, Mosso sits at the intersection of deep house, minimal techno, tribal, and melodic dance music.

Alejandro’s ability to traverse genre lines, as well as his widespread involvement in diverse artistic projects, is what makes him a prime representative of Label XYZ’s artistic vision. With releases on industry titans such as Cocoon, Third Ear, and Hivern Discs, we are thrilled to welcome Mosso to XYZ for one of his more innovative projects to date. 

The Sirocco EP comes as the Berliner steps into a refreshed musical territory. Touching upon the deeper ends of house, the three track project rests upon his ever-present percussive mastery.

Finishing off the trio is Adrift, a showcase of Mosso’s ability to arrange complex melodic gems. A piano carries the groove, with fluttering synths floating in and out. Adrift is a track for the pensive moments on a dancefloor, and a perfect closer to Alejandro’s debut on XYZ.

He is a globe-trotting DJ, producer, live performer and label owner who enjoys nothing more than championing both overlooked gems and fresh sounds from his own country.
