à ré-écouter

Hot off his latest releases on DSNT (backed by a massive remix from Truss and Tessela) and Hypercolour, @JoeFarr comes back home to Turbo with the latest installment in the Warehouse Series.

Lead track IDOMTYK (I don’t only make techno you know) is the mission statement here, a molten crucible built from shards of warehouse excitement. The EP as a whole bangs and bruises with massive kicks, crushing snares and glistening, razor sharp hats, but despite the abrasive percussion, melodies shine through, vocal hooks penetrate, and the atmosphere lifts far beyond the grinding monotony that maligns warehouse techno as an experience. 

Experimentation and originality sparks throughout this release. Talent, ladies and gentlemen…

Llarose EP

JoeFarr - Tape 10

The Tales of The Heike is a Japanese folkloric tale created in the 12th century depicting the Genpei war and the life of the Heike clan.

This story is known as the first novel ever created by humans. The authorship of this novel has been attributed to many people but there is no certainty on who created it since the tale has been passed through oral tradition and has changed over time. Shogyomujo is an excerpt of this tale which translates to “Impermanence” and it is under this theme that Birdcage’s debut EP for Shabu Recordings is based. Featuring the most emotionally powerful music released on Shabu yet, Shogyomujo is a three-part story that unfolds like a flower blossoming which isn’t afraid to show its decay and its death.

Shorea Robusta is the opener of this triptych; it starts slowly and continuously evolves from a cold and ambient-focused Techno track to a tear-jerking piece of beauty that injects parts of Gamelan music and violin. Following it, Atma is a serene and hypnotizing work that is somewhat nostalgic of Acid. Its pulsating and distorted synthline transpires a life that is slowly evolving into a new husk and shining as its own entity.

OP-88 Transience puts an end to this sequence with a granular Techno piece that gets more and more anxious and delirious throughout its life to become a chaotic mass that dies on its own. To complement the previous acts, the previous trilogy is accompanied by a more dancefloor-focused trio of reworks.
The alternate version of Shorea Robusta cuts back on the instruments to create a more rythmically tribal and blurry take that provides an uplifting sense of euphoria. It is this same euphoria that Avus’ take on Atma captures; it strips down the original’s nostalgia to make an assumed 7 minutes piece of Acid. Borealis’ (a.k.a Jesse Somfay) rework of Shorea Robusta tops off this whole with a somewhat psychedelic work of Trance-oriented Techno that transforms the original into a 3 AM warehouse banger.

[SHA010] Birdcage - Atma (Avus remix)

El Guincho side project gets the remix treatment from edit-champ Pilooski, Visionquest / Soft Touch mega-talent Clarian and Turbo / Multi Culti A&R Von Party.

Spanish musician Pablo Diaz-Reixa, best known for his psychedelic, tropical pop act El Guincho (released on Young Turks), posted 5 sample-based tribal tracks back in 2013 on the site tranc.es. The music drew the attention of John Talabot, who released two of them, titled simply '4' and '5,' onto his Hivern Discs label, as a vinyl-only release, which found it's way to Thomas Von Party and inspired this remix pack.

Pilooski hasn't released much music of late, but what he has put out has been of exceptional quality, with remixes for I:Cube and Tim Paris being highlights of 2014. His remix of Trances 4 is a sprawling modular head-trip, far out in every way, yet somehow listenable and versatile as a DJ tool. 

The increasingly prolific Clarian (formerly of Footprintz), flexes a progressive acid house builder out of Trances 5, proving his skill in yet another facet, after an incredibly wide range of releases ranging from indie rock on Seth Troxler's Soft Touch to indian chant-pop on his Multi Culti EP. It's a sonic departure from the original, but one that stays true to the verb in question.

Finally, Von Party brings the tempo down on to a smooth 116 BPM, restraining some of the abrasive elements to make for a low-slung crowd-pleaser that works equally as warm-up or late-night takedown - already played and supported by Tiga.

Also included in the package are the amazing originals, available for the first time digitally, and as a digital exclusive, a previously unheard alternate version of Trances 4. 

Trances Remixed is released on February 23, 2015

After his successful remix of Orion’s “Gravity“ Johannes Volk returns to Polytone with his debut EP. Two excellent techno tracks are in place and a spaced out ambient piece called “It Could Happen“ describes the mysterious view from a spacecraft cockpit into the wideness of the universe. On the 
A-Side Volk blows the whistle of the EP’s title “Asteroid Riding“ with funky chords accompanied by a wide deep bassline, short samples, classic percussions and a cropped stomping kick-drum, that let you ride through the orbit. On the B-Side “Earthbound“ pounds with a broad hollow kick, arpeggiated synth’s, alerting sounds and a harmonically settled type of string-line that eases the element’s diversity like the blue planet’s gravity. Within the tracks that have been built to transport the feel of time and space, Johannes Volk again pushes himself on the cutting edge of electronic music.

When presented with a young talent with his whole life and a brilliant career ahead of him, we at Twin Turbo feel the only morally acceptable thing to do is to get out of the way and minimize the risk of the least important promotional arm of the music business hindering the otherwise inevitable upswell of positive energy and unmitigated success that lay ahead. 

Tiga recently took to the BBC airwaves to declare ABSOLUTE. “a future star,” and we’re just going to leave it at that, rather than mention something the Twin Turbo label boss may have added about wanting to create an “animal blockchain” of up-and-coming talent. It’s simply not necessary. The London-based DJ/producer has earned support from Annie Mac, The Black Madonna and Erol Alkan, a veritable Influencer’s Row of venerated tastemakers. On a more personal level, when ABSOLUTE. was younger and owned only one deck, he used to beat match along to Pete Tong’s radio sets. That’s genuinely charming and relatable, and requires no further embellishment . He also espouses the virtues of a strong work ethic and open-mindedness, and in doing so gives us a glimpse of what dance culture could be like if we could simply erase the miserable baggage of anyone over 24. 

And the music? Oh, it’ll make you gotta dance all right.

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
