For its ninth episode, Spanish-born German-baptized imprint Feinkost presented in 2021 the “Ecdysis” EP by Øbsidiaän, a Barcelona-based duo formed by Mexican artists Hector Tlaseca and Yves Del Rio. On the occasion, “Ecdysis” brought four well-constructed originals filled with broken-beat-oriented grooves blended with heavy basslines, droney sounds and some melodic touches as key elements.

Now, for its eleventh episode, Feinkost brings back Øbsidiaän’s “Ecdysis”, this time featuring four interesting remixes made with love by Ámbar, Svarog, SPEAR, and Fionnlagh, hand-picked talented producers from across the globe who showed their visions from the tracks they respectively chose to transform, twist, bend.

Premiered here, Ámbar’s take of “Dysnomia”. Ámbar is a duo formed in 2016 by the Barcelonian artists Patricia Ferrer and Héctor Sousa aka Hys. They brought the trippy and acid original cut to a different territory, their very own territory: They explored the dance floor potential of “Dysnomia” and provided a more minimalistic and straightforward version, still trippy and acid, but more peak-time driven, we’d say.

PREMIERE310 // Øbsidiaän - Dysnomia (Ámbar Remix)

PREMIERE: JAAW - Blazing Fly [OLDE TAPES]

Artist: Sid Le Rock
Title: Invisible Nation
Format: Digital album / Vinyl LP
Label: Beachcoma Recordings
Release date: April 01st, 2022

The idiosyncratic musical style and production practices by Sheldon, Sidney Thompson (aka Sid Le Rock) are shaped by the DIY electronic-music movement that has encouraged his creativity to develop and thrive since the late ’90s. This is a contributing factor to his impressive discography that currently stands at twelve albums under his various aliases, including Sid’s collaborations with artists from various fields and musical genres such as Depeche Mode, DJ Koze, Placebo, and persistent impressions of the journeys he has made throughout the world as a result of his live music performances.

These invaluable experiences are the supplements for his next important leap forward as follows: As a tribal member of the Algonquin First Nations, Sid seeks to explore his ancestral heritage to uncover the traditional, ceremonial soundscapes of the Native American indigenous peoples as an integral component for his new solo album project – Invisible Nation. It is his respectful endeavour to bind this seamlessly together through his knowledge of music theory and his own distinctive production sound. Sid Le Rock’s current album concept is a fusion of traditional music and organic elements utilized by the Aboriginal peoples of Canada, combined with the modernization of electronic-based music. Mixing of both sound styles achieves balance with shared importance to rhythm as a source of impulse and functionality. It is his equitable attempt to produce and deliver a complementary synthesis of sonic peculiarities, modern electronic methods and the repurposed use of ceremonial music, to showcase a profound pride and pay homage to his forebears.

The Algonquin First Nations otherwise referred to as Anishinaabe, are a group of indigenous peoples present in the Great Lakes region of Canada. They consider music and dance to be sacred and an integral part of their lives. It is a culture that heavily relies on rich oral traditions to pass on its stories, teachings, history, and cultivates its verbal language. Membranophone, idiophone, aerophone, and chanting are traditionally essential components of our sacred sound, This musical connection produces a narrative depth that can transport an effective atmosphere to dance-floors, bridged by unconventional virtues, to which electronic music permits limitless possibilities. Sid Le Rock’s latest release marks his eighth studio album – Invisible Nation, which is an exploration of his cultural roots, combining myth and musical expression to bring forth a prideful nation.

Invisible Nation (LP/ digital album) release is confirmed for April 01st, 2022 on Beachcoma Recordings.

PREMIERE: Sid Le Rock - Nanabozho [Beachcoma Recordings]

Caju (cashew apple, in English) “is a light reddish to yellow fruit, whose pulp and juice can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or fermented and distilled into liquor”. Caju (SXDNS200/FREEDL016) is also the name of the hot Brazilian duo formed by Ágatha Prado aka Agrabah (SXDNS008) & Caio Schmitz. They land for the first time on the Rio de Janeiro-based imprint Underdogs Music as part of its forthcoming compilation called “Viralatas”, a groovy and spicy VA also featuring Bernardo Campos, Live Motel, Morgado, Icle, Leo Janeiro, and Seed Selector, a combination of seasoned artists and new faces on the block who delivered insightful themes in order to showcase the growing Brazilian Nu Disco scene.

The track we chose to premiere, “Piña Colada”, brings Ágatha & Caio once again flirting with Samba-infused percussive elements, something definitely and extremely characteristic in their sonority. If they were not DJs/producers, they would probably be part of an Escola de Samba or Bloco de Rua to parade during the carnival in the streets of Brazil while playing the pandeiro or the timbal. Undoubtedly, “Piña Colada” is one of the highlights of the compilation and carries an enormous potential to become a hit in the carioca Summer.

Belgian techno don Marco Bailey lands on Watergate with a debut that’s guaranteed to intrigue as he leans into electro territory. 

DJ, producer and label chief, his is a storied career that spans three decades, and it’s long been evident that Marco’s enthusiasm and passion remains resolute. He closed 2021 with the release of his sixth studio album Surreal Stage, an ambitious, introspective body of work that dropped via his booming imprint Materia. His own label aside, his discography is stacked with cuts across eminent labels Second State, ARTS, Bedrock Records, as well as being one of the first artists to debut on Carl Cox’s seminal INTEC. While it’s techno that he’s become firmly associated with, his adeptness in the studio isn’t limited to the nuances of one genre and this is a rare opportunity to showcase a different side to his musicality. 

It’s ‘From My Mind’ that delivers first and sticks in your mind - from the heavy synth bassline to the soaring ascendant melody, and distorted, robotic vocals. ‘The Spirit’ floods in next, almost immediately engaging listeners as it ebbs and flows with complete abandon. If the promise of electro grabbed your attention, ‘Pulse’ slaps and packs plenty of punch power as it snakes its way through with dominating, ascendant chords.

German duo Extrawelt and Belgian export Biesmans step in with rerubs of ‘From My Mind’, and firmly grip some of the elements which make this electro excursion so memorable. Steve Rachmad seizes his Sterac Electronics alias, staying true to form in getting deeper and darker with a brooding, stirring trip that begs for immediate replay. Techno linchpin The Advent links up with Zein Ferreira, delivering a cut that blazes with ascending notes and a scattering of twisted elements beneath the winding vocal bleed. Axel Haube, a rising Belgian artist, is last in and he weaves a rolling bassline through a rerub that lifts the mood with a celestial melody and skyward keys.

PREMIERE: Jack Matthew Tyson - What It Takes [FenixFire Records]

Darkroom Dubs returns with a little late-night disco dissonance. It's time for some ‘Unstable Harmony’.

Following a brief hiatus - during which the label has been preparing for its forthcoming 20th anniversary - Silicone Soul’s longstanding imprint strides into 2022, fashionably late with this powerful label debut from Günce Aci.

An unstoppable tour-de-force from Istanbul in recent years, Günce has been weaving between the genres, joining hypnotic dots in the darkest shadows of house, disco, indie and electronica on labels such as Nein, Ombra International and Spectrowave. Now she lands Darkroom Dubs with two blisteringly fresh originals that defy categorisation.

‘Unstable Harmony’ sets the pace and tone. A bulbous bassline pushes the message with urgency in a way not dissimilar to Black Strobe. Laced with dark disco nuances and an unfaltering groove strong enough to melt concrete, don’t be fooled by the title: this guarantees the sweetest of dancefloor harmonies.

‘No Longer Human’ increases the feeling of unease and tension with a lingering groove that lurks and raises in weight and momentum but never peaks. The perfect transition track or palette cleanser, Günce’s broken beats, insistent bassline and spiralling musical elements can disarm a crowd at 20 paces. And will do for a long time to come.

Stay tuned as Darkroom Dubs have plenty more to drop throughout 2022 from old friends and new. Expect beats from new signings Alvaro Cabana & Fargo Devanti and Abel Ray, plus the return of Undo, Amount and Am$trad Billionaire. It's going to be a long, long, hot summer, even in the darkest of rooms.

Out now from Bandcamp & all other digital platforms.
