Ben Klock - Subzero (Original Mix)

Before Genius of Time forged their reputation as one of the most impressive hardware acts, not to mention flat-out nicest dudes, in the game, Dorisburg rode solo with music in a similar vein; once they took off, that moniker got put in the cryogenic freezer. Dials were set to 'dethaw' in 2015, and so we arrive now at "Dimension Sculpture". Release nº3 from upstart imprint Myth Music (steered by our very own lovely host-programmer-überdon Baron Castle, fact fans) comes with a tempting edit from label co-founder Lando on the flip, but we needed to let the A-side loose. It's choppy, dark, infectious and guaranteed to melt faces – and quite possibly support beams, too – in packed basements and festival tents across the entire summer, and beyond.

Whether you know him as a member of Minilogue, IMPS, Son Kite or as Ooze, there's no denying that Sebastian Mullaert is a man of many talents.

Having been classically trained on just about every musical instrument possible, Mullaert began working with his long-time collaborator Marcus Henriksson back in the early 90s. Now they operate as Minilogue and the minimal techno duo have been producing gold standard electronic music for a long, long time.

Premiere: Sebastian Mullaert 'Movement'

Edition 282 marks the long awaited debut of Manuel Anós aka Psyk on the expansive and honorable Tresor Records catalog. The Madrid-based producer had previously released a single track 'Jackin' under the alias Maan back in 2012 on DJ Deep's Kern Vol. 01 compilation.
Psyk takes the stage with a four-track solo EP ‘Works’, also including a digital bonus track. On both side’s first positions – with ‘Definition’ and ‘Balance’ – Psyk delivers electrifying tracks teetering on the boundaries of hypnosis. On the inner-rims, Psyk slows down the pace with ’Stigma’ and ‘Lowdown’, introducing some industrial tones to his techno equation.

Lo and behold; today marks the very last instalment in our ten-part Debut series with 50WEAPONS. What better way to round it off than with a 12" of techno head-splitters from two notable Berlin heads – FJAAK and Dystopian head, Rødhåd. A powerful combination that cements Berlin's ever strong, unfaltering plight in the techno world of today.

Rødhåd's 50WEAPONS inauguration may be delayed but, falling in at catalogue number #049 (close second to the grand finale), it's better late than ever. In the Elder Scrolls game-inspired "Oblivion", factory line drums pummel softly underneath, whilst faint synth sirens circle overhead. We can almost feel the smoke-filled, strobe-lit warehouse now. A noble sendoff to the prestigious 50W imprint, with some much revered Dystopian flavour. R.I.P. 50WEAPONS

#049 drops on 11th December.

Rødhåd "Oblivion" - Boiler Room Debuts

Tresor.283 unveils yet another exceptional debut EP, this time from the hand of Zadig.
The head of Construct Re-Form had already been initiated to the Tresor catalog with the inclusion of 'Panic' on the 'Demo Tracks #2' compilation, in 2013.

With 'The Stellar Hunter' he delivers three tracks rich in tradition, matching impeccably to his style, magical arrangement and masterful set of technique.

Between elongated synth pads, high-frequency blips and reversed kick drum sequences coupler with deep hypnotic bass lines, Zadig proves to be the talented recipient of an illustrious heritage in techno, carrying it forward with modern application.

A Illuminate

Fresh from the beautiful collaborative fusion of his and Ulf Eriksson’s unique, boundary-blurring, moment-in-time ‘The Dance’, Sebastian Mullaert returns with another future-focused dispatch from his secretive soundlab tucked away deep in the Swedish forests. 

An eight minute freeform jazz-minded jam that owes just as much to Bugge as it does the Belleville Three, ‘You’re An Orchestra In The Cosmos’ is a luxurious, lolloping groove peppered with cosmic improvisation and a faraway star-gazing spoken word. It’s also a discussion on the chaos of shared perception and the paradox of cosmic harmony. Sebastian explains it best…
“The cosmos guides us all. It moves us, beyond time and age, it belongs to us. We are the cosmos.

“We each look at the same molecules in an object, the same physical features on a person, the same stars in a constellation, but each of us sees these differently, each of us has a different experience. It is this experience that we need to give time to, listen to, and understand. It’s only then that we can become an instrument in the orchestra of the cosmos.

“The cosmos is the greatest paradox of life. It guides us - some would say it even conducts us, but without us it does not exist. It is in this silent desolation that we, a cacophony of individuals, create the harmony of existence through our connected individual interpretations of every atom, being and thing.”

As with every project that has preceded this and the ones that will succeed it, Sebastian has invested every atom of his soul and thought into the original and his three different versions: his lean and trippy Blinkarp dub, the softer focus Rhodes version and the spacious dub hypnosis of his Wa Wu We remix. Label boss Joris Voorn has also offered his own interpretation of Mullaert’s musical molecules: strapping us tightly into his euphoric rocket, he provides a deep trip into peaktime nebular. 

However you perceive it, however you let the cosmos guide you, you are the orchestra and right now Mullaert plays the consummate conductor. As he says himself, give this time, listen to it, understand it, experience it…

Sebastian Mullaert - You're An Orchestra In The Cosmos (Rhodes Version)

BleeD's first release of 2016 comes from American techno heavyweight and label debutant, DJ Spider. The highly regarded New York scene vet serves up a typically harsh, potent EP – featuring a remix by label boss Volte-Face.

Burning Museums is a continuation of Spider's prophecies of complete societal collapse; it is said to “represent the loss of knowledge of mankind by the modern scientists who are destroying ancient texts in their attempt to erase history.” First up on the B-side and giving the EP the oomph you'd expect from such a description is "Divine Builders". Right from the beginning of the track you are hurtled into DJ Spider's unnerving world of anger and destruction. A seriously kicking beat, supernatural voices and transportive noisy based synths combine brilliantly, painting a picture of possessed scientists running riot in a museum – or something like that.

When premiering Volte-Face and Daniel Avery's "Rote 2" last year, we said "We’ll stop running these BleeDing premieres when they give us a reason to." No change there then.
 
Keep your ear close to the ground, Burning Museums is dropping on BleeD later this month.

Kern Vol.3 mixed by Objekt

Following contributions by DJ Deep and DJ Hell, Tresor Records are proud to present the third instalment in their Kern mix-series, this time headed by Berlin based producer Objekt, his first release following his 2014 debut album Flatland for PAN. In keeping with the series mission of showcasing a more personal approach to mixing Hertz describes his process as such;

Kern Vol. 3 is made up of tracks that I know I will play and love for years to come. Some of these records have been in my bag for years; others are almost as new to me as they are to you. A handful are by lesser known artists whom I admire and who I think deserve wider recognition. Planned, recorded, embellished, reworked, tweaked and chiselled away at over a period of 6 months, the mix was gradually carved out in a way that makes use of new and old techniques alike, presenting itself primarily as a DJ mix but settling in a sweet spot between live recording and studio trickery. The tracklist spans styles, decades and BPMs in an attempt to craft a mix that’s unpredictable and compelling in equal measure – one that draws from the more adventurous corners of my club sets, but above all, one that’s a pleasure to listen to.

Clocking in at 75min across 36 tracks, Kern Vol. 3 delivers on Objekt's promise, stitching together everything from the playful breakbeats of Beatrice Dillon's "Halfway" to Kirk DiGiorgio's classic techno "Nebula Variation" and the lightspeed IDM of Aleksi Perälä and Ueno Masaaki without missing a beat. A descent through ambient bliss, thundering cello drones and vocal contortions (courtesy of Anna Caragnano, Yair Elazar Glotman and Senyawa's Rully Shabara respectively) give way to the stoned haze of Sensational vs Sotofett and metalwork of Machine Woman and Skarn, rounding up a highly eclectic and adventurous mix which also includes previously unreleased tracks by Bristol's Shanti Celeste, rising Brooklyn producer Via App and accomplished electro technicians Clatterbox and Polzer.

Kern Vol.3 releases on Tresor Records on July 8th.
In usual form the mix CD will be accompanied by two 12"s comprising the exclusives and rarities.

Sebastian Mullaert is well known for his work as one half of the highly respected Swedish duo Minilogue, responsible for killer releases for the likes of Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels and Wagon Repair, alongside breathtaking live shows as a solo outfit as well as their joint live act with Matthew Jonson.

Working from the idilic setting of the mystical Swedish forest, Sebastian Mullaert has has been making serious waves on his solo artist journey, lending his signature hypnotic sound to labels like Mule Musiq, Drumcode, Minus, Kontra-Musik and Ovum. His one of a kind spellbinding live show is illuminating the world’s finest stages such as Panorama Bar - Berlin, Concrete - Paris, Fabric - London, Labyrinth Festival - Japan, Black Market - NYC to name a few and can be witnessed on his recent Boiler Room and XLR8R sessions. 

At nearly 13 tantric minutes long, ‘Windmaker’ bubbles and teases with freestyle keys with an almost Middle Eastern flavour, as Mullaert plays snake charmer to his machines, coaxing out deft melodies, airy cymbals and on point beats and percussion.  It’s a track to completely get lost in, crafted with fine sonics and a gloss that only an artist like Mullaert can achieve with ease.

The enigmatic Ukranian producer, Vakula, is drafted in to give a re-interpretation of ‘Windmaker’; edgy phased stabs puncture the minimal techno beat, bouncing and reverberating off the kick drum to create a glorious wall of dubby sound that compliments the original mix a treat.  Vakula has always impressed with his creative and original music for labels like Firecracker, Dekmantel and his own Leleka imprint, so it’s a privilege to have him remix on Hypercolour.
