Misiu - Darkness Falls [clip]

Days Of Future Past

Modern Promises

The fourth multi-artist EP from blog-turned-record label Innate takes the imprint’s inherently warm and far-sighted sound into new intergalactic directions, offering up a quartet of cuts from established producers and rising stars: all inspired by dreams of cross-cosmic travel and the alluring weightlessness of deep space.

While all of Innate’s previous releases have tended towards the futuristic and otherworldly, EP number four explores the label’s love of stargazing electronic music much more explicitly. It features tracks that tend towards the timeless, mixing shimmering, life-affirming melodies, starburst electronics and twinkling chords. 

The A-side is all about deep, melodious and spacey electro, with tracks coming courtesy of two artists who are at very different stages in their musical careers. Up first is Steven Brunsmann AKA Aroy Dee, an experienced and much-loved Dutch scene stalwart making a rare appearance away from his acclaimed M>O>S Recordings label. “Leegte”, his sole outing of 2020 so far, is impressively immersive with Brunsmann cloaking a jaunty bassline and lo-fi electro beats in sumptuous aural textures and glassy-eyed chord sequences. The second slab comes courtesy of Innate label regular Gilbert, whose dedication to the more melodious and ear-catching end of the machine soul spectrum has been such a feature of the imprint’s releases to date. “Furthest Planet” may well be his most inspired musical workout yet: a deep electro roller whose lilting lead lines, shimmering electronics, yearning chords and tumbling acid lines are little less than life-affirming.

Over on side B, the sound subtly shifts towards the vibrant, multi-coloured sci-fi shimmer of techno in its purest form. First to make his mark is label newcomer Jonski, an alternate alias for fast-rising Bristol electro producer Zobol (real name Jon Chimielewski). “Venusian Surface” is classic star-gazing techno, with vivid chords, echoing synth squiggles, bubbly TB-303 motifs and alluring lead lines rising above a classic tech-funk bassline and bustling machine drums. To round of a great EP in style, Innate turns to effervescent Welshman DJ Guy. Fresh from inspired outings on Unthank and Other World Music, the Cardiff-based producer slams down a sweaty, energetic and forthright techno stomper. “Aphelion Orbit” boasts some brilliantly breathless, jacking drum programming – all machine-gun snare fills and snappy handclaps – but it’s the celestial shimmer of the accompanying chords and melodies that lingers longest in the memory. It’s a perfect conclusion to Innate’s most melodious and action-packed release to date.

PREMIERE : Aroy Dee - Leegte JA

Artist: Various (Tin Man, Derek Carr...)
Title: Volume 1
Label: We're Going Deep
Cat No: WGD001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Tin Man - Jerkin Acid 
A2. Derek Carr - The Highlander 
B1. Posthuman - Going Deep 
B2. Dircsen - Last Spare

We’re Going Deep is a new label run by an old head – Paul Wise aka Placid, born out of a lifelong affair with the many shades of deep electronic music and a thirst for collecting records since 1989.

Rather than staying too hung up on the past, the label’s mission is to release new music for the dance floor, your front room or even just your headphones. If you’ve come across the We’re Going Deep forum – you’ll know all about the journey and the collective digging that goes deep into Acid, Electro, Techno, Deep House and even the odd foray into downtempo territory.

Kicking things off in style, Volume 1 is a four track ep made by four brilliant artists. First up, a legend in the 303 business, Tin Man drops an up-front 303 workout as he takes a large slice of ‘88 influence and delivers a jam packed full of purist panache. Next up, Derek Carr brings his own unique sound of warm detroitesque techno, replete with catchy electronic hooks that draw you in and stick in your head for weeks. On the flipside, close friend and fellow TB-303 enthusiast Posthuman delves deep into his box of tricks. Keeping the acid to the bare minimum on his contribution, he provides an epically deep slice of melancholia led by beautiful chords that keep everything moving. Last but not least, Dircsen slows everything right down and takes us on a journey of pure 303 bliss that will delight newcomers and old heads alike.

With Ousia, Joachim Spieth presents the third long player on his label Affin. The follow-up album to "Tides" creates imaginary spaces, translates ephemeral impressions and condenses them into cinematic soundscapes. The eight pieces illustrate an intense and emotional journey that creates expressive relationships between external and internal perceptions.

In addition, the piece "Mutuus" reveals an enchanting and so far unique collaboration between Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth, after the two musically shaped Wolfgang Voigt's first release of the compilation series "Pop Ambient" more than 20 years ago.

The album will be available as a double 12 ”, a limited vinyl version including a printed booklet and digital formats.

We all know Nights are nicer when you are with your friends, so Ethimm asked some of his old friends and favourite acts to remix his recent EP 'By Night'. Quite a few hopped on the bandwagon: Germany's most prolific remixer and DJs DJ Gerd Janson turned Ethimm's 'Lies' into a relentlessly deep and driving house cut with drums reminiscent of New Order. Balearic boss Lexx stripped the track down to its bare vocal and rebuilt it with a 90ies New York vibe. Bell Towers added his prototypical leftfield approach to 'Don't Go Away' while Berlin's legendary DJ Kaos remade it into a classic acid stomper. The remix EP is completed by newcomer Never4Ever's breakbeat treatment of the same track and swiss experimental queen Belia Winnewisser's treatment of 'Island Jam'.

London born, Berlin living Cody Currie comes with his first solo EP on Toy Tonics. 
The first of a couple of EPs he will do on his musical journey with the German label crew. Cody is a special talent. People who follow the new UK Dance-Jazz scene know him already. He studied music in London, before jumping into releasing music on labels like Razor n Tape & Classic Music Company that made him instantly one of the key names to follow among the new generation of producers that connect Jazz, Soul with House, broken beats and futuristic elements. 
Cody moved to Berlin 2 years ago and instantly connected with the young growing jazz oriented scene over there. He met US jazz pianist Joel Holmes. 4 times Grammy nominated former keyboarder of the legendary Roy Hargrove band and Carl Craig's synthesizer ensemble. Also living in Berlin now.
Together they released two EPs on Toy Tonics last year that created a certain buzz. 
After that releases Toy Tonics and Cody decided to go on together. And so here you get MOVES. 

Four moody broken beat tracks (+ a house version of Moves). 
The lead song "Moves" features Rinse FM radio host Eliza Rose on the mic. Other features are London born jazz talents Andreas Kon & Ally McMahon. 

On this EP, Cody moves into an atmospheric garage-y broken beat territory as an ode to his London roots. Rich chords, catchy hooks and hard hitting rhythms.

Moves EP

Cody Currie feat. Andy K, Ally McMahon - LS Anthem

A place of peace had become nigh on impossible to find; there was too much chaos around and not enough time to spare. A moment for oneself had become a rarity, falling through the gaps between flurrys of emails and expanding workloads, clouded by relentless tasks and daily expectations. But it was a necessity — a moment of tranquility had to be the priority, self-care had to come first.

Berlin party, collective and label Radiant Love are seeing out a year we're all happy to see the back of with a release from Parisian DJ and producer E00, titled Peace & Tranquility. His hazy, dreamy output brings some lightness to the end of a dark year, helping us over the final hurdle and in to 2021. Across the four tracks, lush pads and airy atmospheres are married with rolling drum patterns and crisp percussion that meander through tempos but keep us floating in the air.

PREMIERE: E00 - Peace & Tranquility [Radiant Love]

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting.

INCOMING : Endrik Schroeder - The Quest #BordelloaParigi

Release date : 2021-02-01

Buy : https://bordelloaparigi.com/shop/vinyl/endrik-schroeder-second-breath-12/

Bordello A Parigi is delighted to welcome Endrik Schroeder to the family, the Frenchman debuting with Second Breath. 
Alongside a honed talent for creating vivid rhythm patterns, Schroeder’s ability to create bold and memorable hooks is truly remarkable. The two tracks on offer are pure pleasure, post-midnight synth romances with a nod of appreciation to the past.

 We begin our journey with the star-gazing brilliance of “Second Breath.” Warbling undercurrents are punctuated by clean snares as beaming and bright bars descend in this superbly crafted work.

 “The Quest” takes hold on the flip. Full beats are coupled with meandering keys as Schroeder slowly introduces his melody, misty warming notes brimming with energy. 

Two Gems !

Düsseldorf's Themes For Great Cities celebrates its 10th anniversary with a VA compilation of tracks previously released on the label. It was a long odyssey that opened up tons of talented artists for many of us, so we want to join in the congratulations and wish that the next 10 years will be same productive as the last decade.
"It all started many moons ago during a night at Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, where the courage and motivation and most important off all the music was found to start a label. Themes for great cities. That was 2009.
Fast foward 10+ years you have the most prominent tracks of that specific Düsseldorf based time period on one record. For all the already fans to enjoy in one ride and for all the people just discovering us, you’re welcome." - TFGC

House legend, ​Niles Cooper​ jumps aboard the ​ROOS​ train with four glistening floor fillers on ​Notes From The Underground​.

After a 2020 that saw him self release a genre-spanning debut album as well as an EP on Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse​, and previous releases on his own label, ​Pale Springs Records​, the Danish producer lands on Lobster Theremin affiliate label, ​Running Out Of Steam.

The twinkling keys & uplifting vocals of Florida Keys transport you right to the riviera while Oldtown Dubs scattered sax licks and bouncy chords make for a more floor-oriented affair.

On the flip, stripped-down piano cut My House ramps up the energy while 6.A.M. Sunrise is a warm cruise to the end of the record.

ROOS006 // Niles Cooper - Notes From The Underground EP

Rhythm Section welcomes Nicola Cruz to the fold with his debut EP on the imprint, ‘Subtropique’, out on the 19th February. The new signing is announced with the hip-hop influenced lead single ‘Individuality Riddim’. 

Inspired by an Ecuadorian upbringing, percussion is at the heart of how Nicola operates, with his style finding a natural home on the London label. Presenting 5 expansive efforts equally indebted to traditional drumming as they are to contemporary club sounds, ‘Subtropique’ remains sonically cohesive without feeling the need to settle to a definable style. The tracks are tied together by a lucid psychedelic thread, which despite challenging the expectations and fundamentals of electronic dance music, demand movement at a time where we yearn for it. 

The EP is a new experiment for Nicola who had to strip back his setup to produce at home, using fewer elements. Noting the power of collaboration, Nicola enlisted long-time collaborator and master of drums Pablo Vincencio for ‘Zularic Permutations’. On ‘Barretto’, Nicola recognises the history of his influences, paying tribute to the North American percussionist Ray Barretto from the golden age of La Fania - a collective and record label originating in NYC in the 60s which is renowned for helping to bring Latin music to a global audience. 

Nicola has gone on to become one of South America's most celebrated electronic musicians, with monthly listeners in the millions across Europe and Latin America via releases on ZZK Records, Optimo Music and Multi Culti, and famous Boiler Room and Cercle performances.
